"Congratulations!! Welcome to the Crimson Eagle training camp!!!"
There's many black suited men on that place, they line up neatly even the instructor they saw before lined up there, then the one who spoke the congratulation words was the woman who stood before all of the black suited men
The woman is gorgeous, her long hair which like a fiery blazing fire, her face may not delicate like flower, but like a trained warrior which gave a manly vibe but beautiful, this is what they called a cool beauty, but what the most impressive about her is her body proportion
(just how humongous-)
(no, how huge-)
(no, how big-)
(no, how wealthy is that chest!! Pheww... I got the best word, it's better to avoid any vulgar words at least till I grown up but still my eyes... just... can't....)
"I saw the Grand Canyon!!!" Lex blurted out, while the woman only lifted one of her eyebrow as a reaction
"Oops!" Lex quickly closed his mouth with his hands, Aria glared at her like looking some kind of trash beside the road
"hahaha" Arthur let out dry laugh
"buhahaha kusu kuku Bukuhaha" only Mio let out a full blown out laughter
(I've done it now, now it's my fault, the positive point I gathered slowly from Aria instantly flipped to negative once again)
(but hey! That's just impossible to hold! Especially if you're a grown up man!!)
(haa~~, let's think it later)
"My name is Vera Crimson, Leader of this Crimson Eagle" The woman introduced
(Geh!! Will I be disqualified because of my remark just now!!)
"once again congratulations to the four of you being the first one reaching this place"
(phew~ looks like she didn't mind)
"according to the tradition, I'll explain to the four of you the purpose of this exam, but before that I want you all to recount what happened and how you accomplished this exam to us because this will effect each one of your final result personally"
Then Vera bring the four to another small room there's a table and chairs enough for everyone Vera gave the rest a bottle of mineral water thus, without any hesitation the four recounted what happened to her on the test not hiding a single thing
***
"now then, it's my turn to explain" Vera said
(whoa!! Every gesture she made giving a sexy mature vibe)
"actually there's not many we tested in this exam, it's only an initial exam after all, from the first one the instruction on the cafeteria, the purpose is to see how far will you follow the order from the tops, will you violated in the middle or will you strongly keep the order, and the boy who makes fuss in the middle was someone from the Crimson Eagle too, will you influenced by the situation or not"
With Vera's explanation, Lex and others nodded cause they more or less have a guess
"Next, the explosion too designed by Crimson Eagle, the purpose is to see what will you do in the unexpected situation, how fast you will react in that, are you able to see the big picture on the emergency situation, how you will solve that, and others"
The four nodded once again accepting Vera's explanation, because they all understand it was necessary
"and the last one" Vera continued
""""eh?""""
The four of them surprised, (((('but there's nothing else')))) they all thought, Vera smiled as she has already expected this reaction from the rest
"the last one is trust, will you tell the truth to about everything happened, actually all what you do in this exam were monitored by us Crimson Eagle, so we know exactly what happened, we lower your guard with congratulation, then said the result of each of you personally will be affected by what you do in the Exam, will you lie to improve your result, will you betray your group to take all the credit, etcetera" Vera said with an evil smile
By this time the four of them have frozen in place
"uwaaa~~ that's nasty!!" the one to refute that was Lex, while the others keeping silent
"hahaha" Vera let out a huff of laughter "that's right! It's nasty, dirty, underhanded you named it, But…."
"it's needed!" her gaze instantly become more intense "No matter how exceptional you are without trust it's useless! How can you believe your organization when you wary being betrayed by your companion! How can organization believe when it's people lying to get better credit! How can people trust the organization to their work if it's people cannot be trusted!" after her passionate explanation Vera take a breath to calm herself then
"well as a bonus I tell you all this, no matter how high your ability without those three criteria it's useless at least in our Crimson Eagle, maybe the others have different principle I don't know but that how it is in Crimson Eagle, and on the other hand no matter how low your ability how weak you are as long you have those three criteria we will accept you"
"we can train the physical ability of our people, but we can't train our people personality" Vera said, the rest can see a glint of light in her breathtaking intense gaze
All the thing she said was true, the four of them accepted the reason perfectly she able to share her principle to others easily that's how charismatic Vera as a leader
(so this is a leader….)
(even if I have my past life memories, I like a toddler in front of her)
"then, that's all this time I seriously welcome you to our Crimson Eagle training camp" Vera said as she stood up from her seat
"wait!" Lex called out "can I ask you something?"
Vera stared at Lex, as he stared back at her without backing down
Vera then sit again on her seat, and give Lex a gesture to continue his question "I will answer if I able to"
"thanks" Lex replied "actually, I don't know why they sent me here, but there's something I knew from this Exam, there's different between Names and Guest, from the name it easy to understand once we joined the training camp the Guest have a choice to back out later in the lane, or maybe that's the purpose of this 'Guest' system, while the Names don't have that choice"
"why do you say that?" Vera interrupted
"I saw how desperate the Names are to pass the Exam, if it's only one or two group is coincidence but if almost every Names were desperate is the truth maybe they don't have any choice beside here, or maybe they being forced being here whichever the case that's not important for now, while I understand 'Names' is to restore or may to improve the organization strength even further, but what about the 'Guest' system? You spend your resources to grow the 'Guest' only for them to leave later?"
After explaining his question, the rest too stare at Vera, they too interested with Lex question
"why do you think 'Guest' can leave later? Maybe we just wanted to divide normal and elite"
"because the one who sent me here want me to work for them, if I stuck here after the training, it like preparing the cart before the horse"
"hahaha" let out a huff of laughter once again "whoa, I interested in you now"
*chill
That time Lex unconsciously shivered
(damn!! What flag did I trigger!! This is badd!!)
"okay, it's not like I can't answer this question" Vera said as her emotion left her face becoming cold and serious "the answer is to avoid making enemy and to make connection"
"what do you think will happen if one organization one or two levels above the rest?" Vera asked coldly
"…." Lex didn't answer he can't he didn't know
"the rest will bend up to rid them, unless you believed you can trample them even if the rest band up together you will need to avoid it, that's why we won't share our core technique but we still share our common technique, is to make them or us the same level to avoid alliance among the rest"
"and do you think a simple person can be a 'Guest' in our Crimson Eagle, the one who become 'Guest' here have a backup which have a special status, and of course it included your back up too, Lex Spifer"
"even we lost our resource in growing the 'Guest' we too got benefits from connection with them, can you accept this?"
(I don't know is there any other reason behind this system, she said it ambiguously confusingly there may or may not)
(adding my past life, this is the very first time I jumped inside this muddy water called society)
(I understand fully, even with a mature mental ages, I still a nave child)
"un…" Lex nodded by Vera question
"ok then" she stood up once again, Vera stroke Lex head "take your time to absorb it, at least time is what you all have the most right now" then Vera left the room leaving the four of them
***
Before long one of Vera's subordinate a black suited man called out to them four
Among the four only Mio, who has more experienced about something like that the calmest one after hearing Vera's answer, the rest still in dazed because of it
"Looks like it's time to say goodbye" Mio said
"un, you're right" Lex said "we might or might not see each other again after this, thanks for this wonderful experience"
"if we are kept staying on the same organization sooner or later we will meet once again" Aria replied
"that's right" followed by Arthur
Aria, Arthur, Lex, and Mio exchange gazes and nodded at each other
"""see you later!"""" they high-fives and went their own way
