-One clone is coming up the stairs. Get ready.- Informed Osir as he watched closely the stairs.
Once the clone arrived at the top, Nolan dashed toward him. He thought he could land a hit on him. He didn’t know that the clones had tasers on them and before he could even reach him he got tased. Osir took that opportunity and also used a taser from one of the downed clones. The last clone was standing still in the same place this whole time.
Osir approached Nolan to check if he was alive. He shook him a bit but that didn’t wake him up so he moved to the next option. Slapping him in the face. He started by lightly taping but the last slap was the strongest, leaving a red mark on Nolan’s face.
-He’s out… The last target is not moving so let's just leave him here.
-I don’t think that’s a good choice. It is a test so I think it is important how we treat downed squadmates. Place him outside the building and then go after the last target.- Said, Emilie.
-Okay. I don’t think I’ll be able to lift him.
-Me neither.
-One option left.
Osir grabbed Nolan’s leg and dragged him out of the building. He wasn’t gentle with him at all. It looked more like he was dragging a dead corpse without a single thought of keeping it in a good state. Emile watched him hit every step of the stairs. Osir simply left him out of the door and went back in. Everyone saw it and watched in confusion. Emilie came back to him to check if his head was alright, and if there were any injuries.
They slowly walked toward the room where the last clone was. It was standing right by the wall. Osir placed his hands on the wall and began doing the same thing as on the roof. He wanted to catch it off guard. Once he was done he took a few steps back and went for the punch.
Before Osir could touch the wall, the hand of a clone went through it and grabbed Osir by the throat. Emilie used her long nails to damage the hand and after three hits it was torn off. Osir fell to the ground coughing and trying to catch his breath. Emilie kicked the door open ready to fight the clone but once she came in the clone surrendered.
-I surrender. You finished the test. Next time when you all recover I’ll point out what you did wrong because mistakes were clearly made.
The next day after all squad had been tested in a siege training, Professor Olsen came to class with a case full of files. He gave a file to each student. The files were signed with their name and one of the three shapes. Students either got a triangle, square, or cross. Students curious about it asked each other who got what shape. Most of them had triangles on their file. Only a few students had a square right by their name.
-I see that all of you have noticed the symbols on the files. The symbols are assigned for each role you’ll be training. The most obvious one is the cross. It was necessary for each squad to at least have one support. Please raise your hand if you have the cross on your file.- Explained Professor.
Seven people raised their hands. Emilie and Levan were obvious supports from the beginning since their powers are best suited for medical support. There was one person that felt a bit different from all of the other supports.
-Why am I a support, Professor?- Asked Thomas.
-Remember that this is only preparation for that role. Being a support or a scout doesn’t mean that you’re a weak fighter. Now, Thomas. You are close to both scout and support. Currently, you have shown that you’re a good leader and your powers are perfect for a strategic approach.
-Okay. I understand.
-Triangle is a symbol for fighters. All of you who have a triangle on your file please raise your hand.
Nine students raised their hands. Each squad had at least one fighter like squad ZERO had Nolan and GROM had Julia. There are two squads that have two fighters. Squad ZULU has two fighters and ZONE with Ivan and Misha. Hearing that information Ivan and Misha fist-bumped.
-I see there are no objections. Lastly, the square is a symbol of scouts. Please raise your hands.
Four people raised their hands and Osir was one of them.
-Do you have any questions? No? Okay. Now you may open your files. This file will contain all your training information and notes from the teachers. Under your ID you can see your role score. You were graded on a scale of one to ten.
Students once again began asking each other for their scores. The highest scores in the fighting role were seven and eight. Emilie gave a loud happy squeak after seeing her support score. She had ten out of ten.
Osir thought that he was left out of that conversation but Nolan took a peek at his file. Seeing his reaction, Julia stood up and took that file from Osir. She was also surprised by his score. She almost screamed out loud his score but then thought that it was better to not catch anyone's attention. She gave it back and walked away. Osir had the highest score in class having ten out of ten as a scout, nine out of ten as a fighter, and seven out of ten as a support.
-Your schedule for the morning will remain the same but after lunch, you’ll have three hours of lessons connected to your roles. In three months there will be a test that will check the resolve of your training and team cooperation. Starting tomorrow you’ll begin the training.
