Chapter 3 Shuffle Selection Part 2

`What is Shuffle selection? Mike asked. Lily who this question was thrown to flash a smile then she said `well shuffle selection, I was going to tell you later during the tour but since you asked… a little silence came in before she continued ` well it’s a cruel and gruesome competition done every two months of new batch of members where the strongest are selected and reward heavily’.

Mike’s face lightened up in surprise, lily watched his facial expression a little then continued ` its location is not known until the day of the competition, mind you each year 200 people join us but barely fifty people makes it out.

As her eyes squeezed a little portraying the harshness of the competition, her silence didn’t last long as she continued ` with your skills I don’t think you can make it five minutes in’, his face tightened the more as he imagined being mangled by a group of bloodthirsty people, but he was internally moved ` but I will help you, the leader said you will under my care for the week as I will be training you, so eat well and fast let’s continue with the tour’ she said unhurriedly, but her tone laced with authority.

Mike thanked her a lot because he appreciated the effort she is willing to put. After they both ate their fill, they left the dining hall heading to another part of a long hallway.

Eventually they arrived at a door with a board boldly written MISSION/MERIT HALL, well this marks the beginning of our tour lily said as she stepped through the door with mike behind.

The Mission/Merit hall as the name said it was a hall a big one in fact the biggest mike had ever with strict looking gray and starlight white paintings, it was divided into two, both sides boldly written their aspect of focus mission on the left and merit on the right. After a little sightseeing done by mike lily began explaining ` this place as the name states is for missions, in the company every member is expected to take a mission at least once a month, after you complete a mission the merit hall give you the merit points assigned to the mission’, she paused as she looked at mike to be sure he was paying attention and continued after she confirmed. `merit points are what runs the company(gang) and practically everything is done by merit points, so you have to take part in missions to live a better life’.

Mike gave a nod as he thought `so that’s why they don’t care about a million-star cedes’, their tour continued as lily spoke on different things and their importance which only made mike marvelled. They went to departments like; Weapons hall, Registration department, and so before lily then led him to the training hall. Being presented to a wide space filled with people training both in groups and lone, with variety of weapons on standby for training purposes only. Mike was temporarily amazed, but he came back as lily began to speak `this is the general training hall for everyone, in here you learn to harness your skills and learn more ways to handle yourself in different and deadly situations’.

Lily spoke as she emphasized on the word deadly, this only made mike more nervous as he turned his head towards her smiling wryly. It wasn’t long he asked ` when do we start the training?

Lily chuckled and said `tomorrow as early as 5am, she took a halt as her face became grim while completing `are you ready, once I teach you I don’t expect any disappointment’.

Her killing aura leaked on purpose intimidating mike more as he gulped down his own saliva, bit his lower lips then said in a firm tone `mike has seen teacher, I will work hard not to disappoint you’ with both hands cupped together and a bow as he said in his thought `I must survive’. His actions made lily very pleased, she gave a nod and said `meet me here tomorrow by 5am or else, also go back to your room alone I want to finish up something’.

Then walked out, with that mike followed her but tool another route to his room.
