A very hot day. Suddenly Claire gets a message from Mr. Astra.
^^^"Claire, today you will undergo a physical test. One of our men will pick you up at your house."^^^
^^^"Yes sir, but first, do you know where my home address is?"^^^
^^^"Of course. Such a thing is easiest to track"^^^
^^^"Understood"^^^
^^^"Now you better get ready. There are no things to bring. All^^^
^^^we will prepare."^^^
^^^"Good Sir"^^^
The message is short but carries a lot of important information. Claire is getting ready. Enjoy your mother's cooking.
Knock... Knock... Knock...
The sound of someone knocking on the front door. Since Claire was still eating, it was mother who opened the door for the person who knocked on the door.
"Good Morning," a man heard from outside. She greeted her mother as 'Madam'
"Oh, good afternoon too. What do you need?"
"Is this really Claire's House?"
"Right. You're looking for him?"
"I came here to pick him up. You may have heard of this from your daughter."
"So you're from that company?"
"The company? what does this Madam mean?"muttered the man
"Maybe she's lying to her mother."
"Yes, Ma'am. Is Miss Claire here?"
"He's still eating lunch. Please Wait a moment."
"Good Madam"
A few seconds after the conversation between the mother and the man ended, Claire was ready with her thick jacket.
"Claire, isn't it hot wearing such a thick jacket?"
"No ma'am. I'll leave anyway."
"All right. Whatever you want. Be careful on the road."
"Good mother"
Claire enters a four-wheeled vehicle parked in front of her house. It was the vehicle that a man came here in. How rich is the organization? to the point of having many men and even each equipped with a special vehicle.
There was no conversation between Claire and the man. Actually, he was younger than the two people he met last night.
"Sorry miss, I wanted to ask. Did you lie to your mother when you were working at the company?"
"Yes, I was forced to lie to my parents because Mr. Astra said that this organization is secret and no civilian should know unless the civilian works in the secret organization itself."
"That's the rule, lady."
"Really risky"
Very short conversation. They arrived at a place with a large field of green grass. The grass in the field seemed long enough. Why hasn't it been cut yet? I don't know.
"This way miss" the young man pointed in the direction he was going. Passing through a long alley without lighting. Even though it's day, it still looks dark.
After a long hallway. Seen on one side stood several middle-aged men. Talking about something. Not heard because it's too far away.
"Mr. Astra, Mr. Shibe" greeted the young man who walked towards the two middle-aged old men
"I have picked up Miss Claire" he continued
"Very good. "Come with me," said a man Claire knew. He's Mr. Astra
"Good Sir"
Mr. Astra and Claire enter a room. Quite spacious. The lighting here is enough. You could say very bright. Many lamps are installed in this room.
On the other side of this room there is also a dressing room. There is a large locker. It says in one of the lockers 'Claire'. Every locker door has a name.
"Claire, you try to open the locker that says Your Name" said Mr. Astra
Claire opened the locker that had her name on it. Inside that locker was a pair of tracksuits. Maybe for a physical test.
"Change your clothes with the clothes provided in the locker," said Mr. Astra, immediately left the room
Inside the room was also equipped with a dressing room. Claire took off her jacket. then take a pair of tracksuits in the locker that says his name.
Without taking a long time, Claire immediately changed her clothes. As he came out of the dressing room, there was a man sitting in the chair provided.
"It's done?"asked the man
"Yes," answered Claire briefly
"Everyone is waiting for you outside. Get there quickly."
"Yes"
It turns out that it's already very crowded outside. There are many girls who wear the same tracksuits as Claire. There are also young men. Everyone will probably have a physical exam.
"All right, everybody. Gather here for a moment" said Mr. Shibe using the microphone
All the young men gathered in front of him. Waiting for the next speech to be spoken by the microphone bearer.
"Good afternoon everyone. At noon today you will all undergo a physical test as I said yesterday. I introduced myself first. My name is Kishibe. You can call me Mr. Shibe."
"Good afternoon Mr. Shibe"
"Afternoon, everyone, get ready. Of the many you will be divided into groups. For the division of the group, it can be seen on the board over there" said Mr. Shibe pointing to the location of a board
Both boys and girls, scramble for positions to see their name on the board. It's different with Claire. He was still casually waiting at the back of the queue until everyone finished looking.
~A few minutes later~
Finally one by one they broke up. Claire looked for her name on the board. It became Group B. Along with some other kids.
"Now, all gather according to their respective groups" said Mr. Shibe using the microphone
"I'm already here. Why isn't anyone here? did my other friends not show up at the physical test this time?"muttered Claire
Someone accidentally nudged Claire's shoulder. Hard enough to feel.
"Hey, who's that?"Claire cried in the middle of the crowd
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I was the one who nudged you" a girl said
"Oh, so you're the one?"Claire said in a tone of dislike
"I-iya. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Take it easy."
"Who is this little girl? is he also a new generation candidate?"he muttered again
The crowd filled the long green grassy field. Claire stood alone. It's strange, it's been a long time but no one has come to the Group B section.
