The old man left as Mo walked back to the classroom. It was just a few minutes to lunch .The bell rang and the teacher left the class. Ryu and Bien asked Mo what he had done and why he had to stay outside the classroom for such a long time .They had also noticed the old man and were curious as to who he was to Mo .Mo being on a bad mood replied that he was just an old man and that he planned of taking him away .As to why and where he wanted to take him, he did not explain . Seeing that he was not going to explain further, they decided to let Mo be .They only wanted best for him.
Days passed by without anything worthy of mentioning happening in school .On the next day Mo was chatting with his friends while taking tea when a student from another class came to inform him that he was needed in the office . When he was done with his tea, he headed to the office and outside the office there was a military car .He wondered why it was there .On entering the office he was surprised to find that not only the teachers were there but also there were other four men in late twenties dressed in a military attires. They were strongly built and one could see in their muscles through the clothes. Two of them were Africans while the other two were Europeans. He was informed that they were here for him.
"Young sir, we are here with orders to escort you to the military academy." one of the said. "Whose order is it?" Mo asked .Even though he knew the one who gave the orders, he still asked." we just received orders from our boss to pick you from here so we did not know who but it must have been the general who gave orders to our boss." the one who was with a high ranking badge among them replied. Tell your boss to inform the one who gave the orders that am not following you and if he wants me to join you, he can come by himself to pick me." Mo replied "Please sir, don't make things difficult for us. We are just following orders. We don't want to loose our jobs which will happen if you choose not to come." they said in unison.
"That old man really planned his moves well. Must he use such methods?" Mo could not help but to curse loudly. Knowing that if he refused to follow the men that the old man will continue sending more till he went, he agreed to follow the men .He went to the class took his bag and locked the rest in his locker. He then told Bien and Ry that he was leaving to the military academy but he would be back soon. Saying goodbye to all the classmates, soldier opened the door for him and took Mo's bag in his hand and left. The journey was boring. They first went to his home and take the things he needed and explained everything to his mother telling her not to worry. After three hours of driving, they arrived at the academy was located in the country led by the military.
The gate was guarded in a way that no one could force his way in. The soldiers who stood at the gate saluted them and soldiers who were with Mo saluted back. They parked the car and took Mo to the registration desk. After registration, Mo was handed a copy of rules. The main rules were to never sneak out of the military camp, to disobey the instructors and teachers and other common rules. He was surprised to learn that fighting was allowed. He wondered whether the academy was a school for children or a place for gangsters. It was clearly stated that as long as no fatal injury was dealt or killing, the teachers would not interfere. This was to make sure that the students faced enough pressure that would make them train harder since the institution was military academy.
Mo was given all the things that he required in the academy after registration. The uniforms worn in the academy looked exactly like those worn by the army. The only difference was that there were different colors not according to the classes but to strength. After every end of month there would a competition among the students to determine the new ranking. The first among the students would wear a violet uniform, the second indigo uniforms while the third level students wore a blue uniform. The rest were ranked generally wore a green attire, followed by yellow, then orange and finally red.
Students from the same tier wore uniform of the same color as the tiers were marked by the colors (violet, indigo, green blue and yellow tiers).Those with red uniform were the weakest of all students. Mo was taken to the dormitory and later to the class. He had been given green uniform which was an estimation of his strength as the academy did not know his strength. On reaching the class Mo was shocked to find that the class had sixty students. There were seven students with green uniforms, thirty seven with yellow ones and thirteen with orange ones. He was shocked to find out that there was no one with red uniform. The first row had three students who wore violet, indigo and blue uniforms. Clearly, they were the top three students in the school. The second row had the seven students who were on green uniforms. The four rows that followed had each nine students except the forth one which had ten students.
