Chapter 2 - What a test

Flint pass the door quietly, usually he isn't really curious but that time, he feels the door has something special. Behind it? Nothing, except… Flint notice hardly another door smaller and much less couloured than the red one. Indeed, the first door was big and red on a white wall whereas there, it was a blue little door on a blue wall. This feeling of "hidden" push Flint out of a doubt : it feels special. He pass the blue door and arrive in a huge room, actually it is really dark but it feels huge. There are only some candles to illuminate that room. It looks even bigger than the Knight's hall. Flint isn't frightened but isn't calm though. He perceive something moving slowly. Flint get closer and closer to it and… it seems to be a human in fact. Flint ask :

-"Is there someone over here?"

No answer, nothing but a muffled sound, as if someone who hasn't speak for a while is trying to do it again. After a few seconds, a noun provides of the dark :

-"Yea. You are here for the…test?

-Yes sir. My name is Flint, these are the documents". He approach the guy and gives his documents. He looks like a young man.

-"Oh yea. Still in an uncertain voice. So why do you want to join the Knights ?

-I, I would like to change, to be stronger and faster… answer Flint.

-Why do you want this kind of things, can't you stay as you are ? The guy's voice is getting clearer

-I…I… want to fight.

-Ahhhh that's what I want! I am glad you are here. If you want to pass the test, swear you will obey me.

-I swear. say Flint determined.

-You're swearing what? The guy gives a smirk.

-I swear to obey you.

-Great… Now do one hundred push ups, one hundred pull ups, one hundred crunches and jump one hundred times higher than fifteen centimeters.

-What? Flint thought it would be more…like a fight.

-Do it, I have heard a guy called Saitama did it or at least something like that every day during three years.

-But, it's a fictional character ! Scum Flint.

-You are not asking, do it."

Flint begin the exercises after twenty minutes he finishes. Sweaty but really proud of himself, he think: "It was easier than in my memories" .

-It was too easy? Say the guy as if he has read Flint's mind. It's not finished yet. Attack.

-Who ?

-Me.

-You?

-Have you noticed someone else?"

Flint don't appreciate when someone is speaking like this, he gets a bit angry and try to attack the guy with his fists. Unfortunately, it seems to pass… through him ?!
