Location: Cloud Street No. 212 Block C
Mr. Astra said to come to the headquarters of the organization better at night. The organization will await Claire's arrival. Claire's plan was to go to their base in the middle of the night.
Some files that need to be brought only include files about their identity.
At 00: 00
Quiet midnight. The streets are empty. And the cold that envelops. The night wind is very cold. Claire had foreseen this before. That's why he wears his black jacket.
Walk little by little. It turned out that it took a long time. To get to the location, Mr. Astra suggested to pass the Rat Road only. Right on the shadow path.
"This place is very quiet, am I lost?"he's in the middle of the road
"I'd Better Call Mr. Astra."
Claire picked up the phone. Search contact name ' Mr. Astra'. The darkness of this path did not favor him. There is no light like a lamp here. Pitch black.
"Mr. Astra, I am now on the shadow path. It's very quiet here. Isn't that the wrong way?"
"The shadow path is indeed quiet. You should not be afraid to get lost. Just get on with it. You're almost there."
"Good Lord"
Claire's way is right. No need to be afraid of getting lost. Just go straight.
~ Walk straight towards~
There was a tall building in front of him. Claire stepped up. It seems unmistakably, this is the headquarters of that organization. Claire stepped into the building.
"This place is very dark. No lights at all. Where are those people?"gumammya
"Good night, Claire. Welcome to the headquarters of our organization," said a man whose face was not visible. Just like a shadow. Go down from the stairs down.
"Good night"
"Come here, follow me, everyone is waiting for you upstairs."
Claire immediately followed the man's steps. One step at a time up the stairs. This building is very tall. But there is no elevator. So if you want to go upstairs, then you have to climb the stairs.
Ten minutes passed. They're still walking up. Why not do it?
If calculated, there may be about 300 more steps. And all of them must be bypassed by the inhabitants of this building.
"Here you go, miss" the man suddenly stopped. In front of them was a room. The door to this room is slightly open. There's light in it. It should not be too dark
They both entered the room in front of them. Some distance away at the end of this room, there is an office desk and a large sofa with his back to the door.
"Miss Claire is here."
"Leave him here"
"Okay," said the man, nodding his head
"Miss Claire, huh?"
"Yes Sir"
The Sofa turned around. Now for Claire. A middle-aged man is seen enjoying a glass of red wine in his hand.
"Were there any obstacles while you were here?"
"It was so dark that I couldn't see anything. A building without walls."
"You have successfully passed the basic examination before officially becoming a member of our secret organization"
"Astra should have asked you to bring some files about your identity" he continued
"Yes, sir, I brought it."
"May I see you for a moment?"
Claire handed the man a bag containing her identity file. The man opened his bag slowly, then put the file inside.
"Just graduated high school last year. Age about 18 years. HM, still young. The only daughter of Mrs. * ***and Mr.*****. You need to get more used to being pampered. But here, you have to do everything yourself."
"I know about that, Sir."
"Very good. Astra gives you enough information."
"Before joining the organization, there are some exams that you have to go through. If you pass the exam then you will be accepted here. Otherwise, you're like trash."
"I understand sir. If so, what are the tests?"
"The test is divided into two. The first is a physical test. You have to prepare yourself physically. The second is an intelligence test. In the organization there will be many things to be solved. The key to being here is to be smart."
Claire nodded. The test is coming for him. Physical tests and intelligence tests. He was comfortable with both.
"Thank you. I've read all your data. I will keep this file. For you, you can go home now."
"Good Lord"
"Tomorrow, you have to come again. The location will later be notified by Astra"
"Understood"
Claire left the room. He met the man who brought him here.
"It's done?"he asked. His face remained invisible. Probably because of the light.
"Already. Thank you for bringing me here."
"This is my job. Let me take you out."
Claire and the man went downstairs, where they had met before. Down more than 300 stairs. But it feels lighter than driving. Didn't feel like they were downstairs.
"I can only go so far, Claire."
"No problem, I can go home by myself"
"Good luck, I almost forgot. My Name Is Hanamizaka. You can call me, Mr. Mizaka"
"Mr. Mizaka, see you soon" Claire waved her hand at the man named Mizaka
The dark night welcomed him back. But this time the streets looked brighter. Maybe it's because he sees darkness. So it's getting used to it.
