-Very well. Thomas! Who do you want in your squad?
-Sheila. Do you want to join my squad? Your pyrokinetic powers are strong and you control them very well.
-Sure. Why not. Only if you chose my friend over here- Answered a girl with short black hair tied into a ponytail.
-And what is your esper power?- Thomas asked the girl beside Sheila with blond hair tied around her head into braids.
-I am able to manipulate the wind.- Said the girl with braids.
-Okay then. Welcome to the squad.
-Next to choose will be Ivan.
-That’s an easy decision. I want strong people and Misha fits that criteria. The second person that I want is Levan.- Said pumped up, Ivan.
-You think I’m strong?- Asked confused Levan.
-Of course! You got guts! And that’s already something.
-Next by performance will be Osir.- Said, Lieutenant.
Osir looked around at the people that were left to choose. He approached Nolan who was lying on the ground with slightly closed eyes. He kneeled by him and slapped Nolan a few times to check if he is conscious.
-I’m awake… I’m awake! Stop it!- He said as Osir wasn’t stopping. Finally, he grabbed his hand and screamed.- I’m awake! Can’t you see?!
-Do you want to be in my squad?
-What?
-Do you want to be in my squad?
-I heard what you said! Why would you choose me of all people?
-You’re the only one with a power that I understand. It’s important to build a team with powers that will complement each other.
-Fine. I’ll join you. Who else are you gonna pick?
-Her.- Said Osir as he pointed at a girl who was standing in the line this whole time. Not fighting and not even watching the battles.
-Why her? She didn’t show anything. It’s a wild guess. Even now she doesn’t care about the test for captains.
-Just a hunch.- Said Osir but he chose her because she was the girl that wanted to approach him in the class. A girl with shiny green eyes and blond hair in a ponytail.
-Hope I won't regret it…
Osir approached the lost-in-thoughts girl. She didn’t even notice him while he was standing right in front of her. He even waved his hand a bit to catch her attention. Seeing how futile it was Osir raised his hand and was going to slap her but Nolan stopped him.
-What do you think you’re doing?!- Asked Nolan.
-Trying a direct approach.
-Ekhm… Is there something you want?- Asked the girl.
-Do you want to join my squad?- Asked Osir completely ignoring Nolan.
-What squad? Huh… You’re that boy from the class! I wanted to talk with you but the lesson started and then it was hard to start a conversation.- Her eyes began to glow with life and she wouldn’t stop talking.
-So… Do… Do you…- Osir tried to talk but she wouldn’t let him.
Osir got annoyed once again and raised his hand again but stopped once he saw Nolan’s expression. Instead, he flicked her forehead which worked making her stop talking and getting her attention.
-Do you want to join my squad?
-Sure!
Each squad stood in line in groups. The Lieutenant gave each captain a silver triangle pin. Some squads tried to get acquainted with their squadmates and some already knew each other.
-Alright. One last thing. Each squad needs to tell me their name. If you get bored of the name you can always change it.- Explained the Lieutenant.
-How do we name our squad?- Asked Nolan.
-I have no idea…- Said Osir, trying to come up with something but creativity isn’t his strong side.
-I think it should be something that gives a hint to our powers. Especially the captain.- Said the girl.
-So what's your power? And name too. I didn’t catch it earlier.- Asked Nolan.
-My name is Emilie Forester and my power is named Cell Creation. I can create a small number of cells and control them.
-I’m Nolan Tillberg. My power is called Adrenaline. I can control the output of adrenaline in my body.
-I can control temperature… Oh. My name is Osir.
-If it should be related to the captain then how about Celsius… or Fahrenheit? Or maybe a Degree? Thermo…- Said Nolan trying to come up with a name and then losing himself in thoughts.
-How about ZERO? It’s short and it’s a natural number for temperature. It isn’t cold nor hot.- Said Emilie with a bright smile.
-Okay. We are squad ZERO.- Said Osir as he acknowledged the name.
