The eting room felt dry, as only a line of chairs surrounding a circular table was the highlight of the room.
All the seeds gathered inside as they sat down, waiting for what's coming next.
No. 80: "Why do you think they called for us?"
No. 17: "Probably for the guidance that instructor Lilac talked about."
No. 18: "Yeah, but it doesn't feel good when not all of us are here."
No. 25: "33 is not graduating, so of course he won't be here; just one month won't kill the lad."
No. 80: "Co on, 25. If there is soone between us all that deserves to graduate, it is 33."
No. 9: "The higher-ups must have their own plan for 33, so let's just focus on what's coming."
The door to the eting room slid open, and from behind it, three people entered.
Two of them were familiar; only one was completely unknown to the seeds.
All the seeds stood up as they saluted the incoming lieutenant.
Lieutenant Rock: "At ease, please get seated.
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you on finishing the program, which many failed to do so.
You all ca from different areas of the federation, but you were the elites of the elite there, and you have proven that you could stand up to any challenge, which made proud as the overseer of your group.
You will know Doctor Han; there's no need for to introduce him."
Dr. Han: "Congratulations, everyone, you have braved through the injuries and the pain to finally reach this point. I had the privilege of taking care of your health during this important phase in your careers and life."
Lieutenant Rock: "The gentleman behind is soone I would like to introduce to you all, but I will leave it to him to talk about himself and why he is here."
The man was tall and lean with defined muscles and a handso face accentuated by the long dark hair. The man had gentle expressions on his face, but the aura around him was by no ans gentle at all.
Solemn air and a dignified bearing reflected how high of a position this man held.
With a small smile on his gentle, handso face, he began introducing himself to everyone.
"My na is Malcolm. I am the advisor sent by higher-ups to help you figure out your next step as you have finished the training program. Now it's ti for you to define your path of service in the organization.
I will be interviewing every single one of you individually in the room next door to explain further and give you the necessary guidance that you need.
What I recomnd is that even if you have the smallest question floating inside your mind, you do not hesitate to ask, as this will be extrely vital to the role that you'll play in the future inside the organization."
Lieutenant Rock: "Thank you, advisor Malcolm.
I also have great news for you all.
After your interview is concluded with the advisor, all of you would receive an extended leave for one month so you can get back to your families and loved ones and spend this month to relax and destress."
The expression on everyone's face brightened considerably as they had been suffocated by staying in this tin can that was full of tallic walls. The only sunlight that they have ever seen was the inside of the pocket dinsions where they have to hunt and kill most of the ti.
They literally haven't had a mont of peace in a long ti; that was 2 years.
The news of a vacation on the horizon brought a great deal of happiness to everyone inside the room as they can finally get back to their families with their heads held up high, making their loved ones proud of them And what they have achieved.
Soon after the interviews started after the advisor entered the room next door, eting everyone individually.
...….
Advisor Malcolm: "Number 17."
No. 17: "Yes, sir."
Advisor Malcolm: "You have quite the impressive records here."
No. 17: "Thank you, sir."
Advisor Malcolm: "I will keep it brief, but I will also explain it to the letter so you can understand it perfectly because it is important.
Now you are probably wondering what it is.
You have already finished the seed training program, and now you are at the crossroads where you will try to define the role that you will play in the organization. From now on.
After soone finishes the program, they will be given three choices to choose from.
Either they beco an auxiliary and support personnel.
Or they beco production personnel.
The last choice is to continue in the combatant divisions.
Now, what is auxiliary and support personnel?
They are the wheels that the organization moves through, as there are many divisions under the auxiliary and support.
They have the vital role of providing assistance to the top combatant power of the organization.
Even if I say that they are a supportive division, that does not an that they don't engage in combat and warfare; as a matter of fact, they do.
30% of the instructors that have taught you during this program are from the auxiliary and support personnel.
One of the biggest divisions is the intelligence, which is the most dangerous under the auxiliary and support personnel.
I have sent you a whole docunt that will explain everything in much more detail that I will demand you to read multiple tis to understand the path and where it leads.
The second big road that you can go through is the production personnel.
This type of personnel is basically every professional in any production job.
For example, I believe one of your teachers is an alchemist. He falls under the production personnel.
Of course it's not that simple; there is alchemy division, evolution master division, and much more.
For the detailed explanation, you will find all of it inside the docunt.
The mont you choose one of these two paths, after your vacation, you will imdiately be enlisted into a nurturing program where you will further be trained and deployed on missions or given the necessary knowledge if you choose the production type.
We will go to the third and biggest road, the combatant path. For the selection of this path, you will have to undergo a trial that may very likely lead to your death. I can't tell you what the trial is, but I can tell you that it is extrely dangerous. The death rate in such trials probably exceeds 80% of the graduate seeds.
As for the reason for this increased difficulty, well, I believe that you have heard of the shadows of the federation."
In a daze, number 17 could not process all this information at once, as she simply repeated the last few words spoken by the advisor in shock.
No. 17: "Shadows!!!"
Advisor Malcolm: "Yes, shadows, the highest and most clandestine power of the federation. The combat path is the road to beco one of them.
It is a road full of danger and death, a road that is made through battlefields above mountains of dead bodies belonging to the enemies of the federation.
That is why there is a trial before you could embark on this road; this trial is extrely deadly, as I ntioned before.
From every 10 people who participate in it, only two make it, according to the statistics.
But let tell you the reality of it. Many tis all the participants die in the trial with a zero survival rate.
That is why it is important to know what you want to do in the future and what role you want to play in the organization.
Yes, the two previous paths may look lackluster when compared to the privileges and power that the competent path has, but the price that soone has to pay to enter this path is extrely high.
Inside the docunt that I sent you is more detailed information on this matter that you have to read carefully before you make your decision.
But you don't have to make your decision imdiately; you will go back ho and enjoy your vacation. During this month you will review all the information inside the docunt and rember our talk. Then you will ask yourself what I want to be and how much I'm willing to risk.
After a month from now on, I will still be here, and we will have another sit-down before you make your decision.
I truly hope the best for you in any path that you will choose."
Silence prevailed inside the small room as the advisor stopped talking; anwhile, Lumber 17 sat in her chair as she was spacing out, completely entrapped in her many thoughts.
Sotis you walk along and hard road where you give everything you have to reach the finish line but the mont you think that you have made it is the mont that your world expand from a small village to a massive town, It is that mont where you realize that you have only reached the starting line.
