Early in the morning, Henry was up enjoying the cold breeze from the nearby water bodies. Waking up early was his daily routine since he had alot of roles ahead of him. This was the day he was to join the military school. For him, such a day could as usual give him sleepless night due to alot of imaginations. Having a glue in what entails in military school, waking up could give him an upper hand in surviving there very well. He went for his normal road works as part of his exercises before he came back for quick preparation.
After a run of about 15kms, He came back breathing fast than usual. To control this, he sat down, relaxed for some few minutes before he took a cold shower. Immediately he finished, a phone rang. At first time he thought it was an alarm then assumed. The phone rang again and again. Henry decided to go and check. His first sight on the screen of the phone was a new number. The number was so unique with a common digit. He made different suggestions to gaze whose number was and to him he knew that was a number that could be associated with government services. The phone rang again and he decided to pick.
A deep voice was heard from the phone. "Hello Henry, am Daniel from Miho military school. I think you are much prepared ready for the journey. We are nearly approaching your residential place. If you are not ready fasten because we will be there in ten minutes time." Henry replied just as soon as the voice ended, "yes sir, am very ready." The call immediately was hunged up. Henry returned the phone on the charger and went on to finalize his preparation. It did not take long before the military officer arrived.
Hooting of a vehicle was heard from outside the house on the road. Henry being the only one traveling he knew the officer had arrived. Before Henry moved outside to check the direction of the vehicle, he heard a very hard emergency break. He quickly opened the door and on his first sight he saw a brand new four wheel drive machine on the slum. Inside the vehicle were men in uniform. He made a gaze that they were the people sent to pick him. Henry courageously moved towards the vehicle. Before he approached it, there was a man who alighted busy dialing his phone keyboard.
Before he made a call, Henry greeted him and the man reduced focus on the phone and focused on Henry. "What is your name?" The man asked. "Am Henry," he replied. "Exactly, you are the boy we are looking for. Are you ready so that we can leave at the moment?" The man went on. Henry paused for a moment and replied, "yes". "So take your belongings and place them in the booth." The man added. Henry quickly moved with his hand bag towards the booth. At the vehicle booth, Henry was confused because he didn't knew how to open it. He tried his level best but it didn't open. After some minutes of waiting, the officer called Henry.
"You are wasting our time. What are you doing over there?" The man asked. Henry replied though with some fear, " I honestly don't know how to open this booth." The man laughed for a moment before he told Henry that it was an automatic vehicle which always required an automated machine for opening. The man then opened it for Henry. After he placed his hand bag, it started closing itself without Henry touching it. This was an new thing for him so he just stared at it for a moment of time and quickly entered the vehicle. Inside the vehicle was a television making Henry to get surprised even more. On the television, he was just seeing a map as they travelled. Suddenly Henry went asleep as he was on a very comfortable seat. Deep asleep, a mechanical voice rang in his mind.

The voice disappeared and suddenly laughed in the sleep. Men in the vehicle checked on him and concluded that he was sleeping and day dreaming. Another man suggested that Henry should be awakened to be attentive throughout the journey. Some water was gently placed on his head making him to get shocked and got up. No sooner had he realized what was going on than he saw a large field. Inside the field were men in uniform training. He knew he had reached the destination and if not, they were almost there.
The vehicle's speed went down and the driver changed the direction. It was this time he realized that they were turning to the entrance gate in the military school. From the transparent windows Henry could see people doing tough practices. Some were doing sit-ups, others frog jumping, others carrying heavy metals in air, others doing press-up and others on the field running. In this place everyone was as busy as a bee. Henry upon coming outside the vehicle, he saw one mascular man who was commanding the rest in their practices. Wether you were big enough or small, the treatment was the same. This thing gave Henry alot of worries especially that time he saw men running very fast with a load at their backs. He stood stand still on the ground looking very confused.
The officer in charge called him to show him the room to keep his belongings. He moved like a soldier with his bag towards the room. He did not believe what he was shown as a house. It was a round structure made from polythene paper. Stepping in, there was a thin layered mattress on the floor gently covered by a blanket though little thorned. "This is your room for the duration you will be here. You will be provided with food from the kitchen over there only after the bell has rung. I think am very clear," the officer told Henry. This statement inreased tention in Henry to an extent that he admired to go back home even before the training had begun.
Henry was told to move to the field to join others in training. This being his first time in a military school, he didn't knew anything in terms of procedures for training. He looked confused and he was called by the sergeant in the office. He ran towards the office and on arrival, he was given a long paper which contained clear writings. On the top line of the page was a title, "Training schedule for beginners." This was the paper that was to direct Henry in training since everyone was very busy. Henry went at a cool place, sat down and clearly unfolded the paper to have a look. This was the paper: morning; roadworks. In the afternoon: field practices. Evening: thorough muscle practices. The schedule appeared somehow favourable to him since he had been doing roadworks for a very long time. Something that gave him wories was how people were practicing under tough instructions from sergeants. People were carrying heavy loads that they struggled with them alot. The struggle could easily be noticed from a distance due to severe sweating. Despite the struggle, Henry wondered why such people were very muscular and healthier. Non was weak in the military school except for him who had not done any practices.
Henry was ordered to join the rest in gym room since it was evening hours. He quickly opened the door and entered the room. He saw large metallic items used for practice. He was given lighter metals for the beginning of which he was going to advance with time. Henry was given a vest and a short to begin the training. Under his legs, he wore white sports shoes. He first went on the running machine and the speed limit was set. He was to run according to the speed of the machine. When the machine started, Henry was slow and confused making him to fall down on the floor leaving the machine in motion.
There was a laughter from everyone in the room. Henry remained down on the floor for some time at least to reduce some shame before he stood up and went back to the machine. The sergeant stopped him immediately and gave him other practices. He was given 10kg metallic metals to raise. At first it appeared simple for him since he had all the energy. He managed to raise two times. On the third round, he was unable to raise. He remained bending down for some minutes since he had some headache. All of a sudden, a voice echoed in his mind

The system disappeared and Henry gained energy to raise the metals very fast until the sergeant was shocked.
