Today, Jin is little excited as he was going to join as a Guard member. He arrived at the training center, where he would stay for the time being until training was completed. Based on his performance, he would be assigned to a post.
All the training cadets were assigned their rooms. As Jin had expected, he was given a shared room with four other members. Only Officer had their individual rooms.
Jin met and befriended them, as they were easy to approach, except for one.
Jin thought he might be an introvert. His name was Joe.
His other roommates were Kevin and Shaun. Kevin was an exercise enthusiast, while Shaun was interested in technology—though not as much as Han, Jin assumed.
Dhruv was there another roommate, seemed like a lazy person who was forced to be there.
And that's how Jin days in training center begin.

In a top floor of tower which is like headquarter, A room with strict security where armed personal at every ten steps can be seem. A person in uniform seemingly of high-rank walked his way through to last room where after verifying his identity, he entered inside it.
Standing there in a proper stance as a soldier with strict demeanour waited for the person in the front to respond.
A middle aged man sitting in chair in front of him reading the information, asked him to continue his report.
"Sir, it has been confirmed that rank B-25, weapon Mod has been founded in 200km North-east, at given coordinates, near military base XXX, The specific extraction and research unit is deployed and expected the retrieval within few days."
Middle-aged man said "As if it is this simple, the region where it is founded is of danger level Yellow and there has been sightseeing of unwanted groups, if they were to found about it, there is no doubt about Attack. Deployment of unit will surely raise there suspicion. There should not be any information leaked of this confidential mission"
A person standing in front said "Sir, if permission granted, I would like to provide my input on this mission"
Middle-aged man "Okay captain, what's your opinion"
Captain said "Thanks sir, my strategy it to divert there attention with parallel mission and partial failure"
Middle-aged man raising his eyebrows "Interesting, Explain the details"
Captain "Since the region is Yellow Zone -there should be mutant beast (beast evolved due to gene failure before Beginning Era) - from the reports we had collected it would likely be bone-type anomaly. we should conduct the operation in the name that as target to deploy a unit. It will dispel their suspicion."
Middle-aged man "Still if there is mole in that unit, and deployment of higher unit for Yellow Zone would still raise suspicion"
Captain "the unit to deploy need to be of less than a year experience, it would be conducted as an training assessment with goal being it to fail and presenting as a critical situation, so you can deploy your unit as the rescue, a search time would be a perfect decoy to retrieve the item safely and can brought it back, other would not have any chance to react"
Middle-aged man "so you are saying, we will use a bait to divert the attention, but what if that unit is successful in there mission"
Captain "No need, I will assign my people in that to make sure that mission will fail, now the question is which unit to choose as bait, as there is high chance of casualty"
Middle-aged man "How about the guards unit, make an offer that those who succeed in this mission will get the one rank promotion. This will work out."
Captain "Okay sir"
Middle-aged man with sharp glare "Remember, this mission need to succeed, since its your idea, your will take responsibility"
Captain "Yes, sir. I will make it possible" and exited through door after saluting.

Jin attending the theory class while being bored with lecture ongoing.
Instructor continuing to explain his lessons.
"Now we will know about the standardize ranking as per the mention in manual.
There are many dangers still exist in wilderness due to various reasons -the basic categorization is as followed with white region considered being safe, green, blue, yellow, orange, red, purple, black -in increasing in difficulty to the survival. Region above yellow are said to No-man land now.
Of course there are other categorization also such as grey region for special environments and so on."
Few cadet raising their hand started to ask many questions. while Jin pretended to listen.
In Afternoon,
A notice was presented in the training center.
A special experience mission is organized by military where a hunting and survival will take place, it will we evaluated in there assessment and on completion of mission successfully, one-rank promotion is granted to those involved. A unit of experienced officer will we there to help and supervise the whole mission undertaking.
This notice created a buzz throughout all the guard cadets.
'What, is this for real'
'one-rank promotion, it will secure a chance for me to be an officer'
'Are not we just new recruits, isn't is too dangerous'
'Why fear man, they said there would be supervisors, I think we should thank our luck to get this opportunity'
and so on..
When Jin return to room, he heard about it from his roommates which made him stun. Jin being cautious started to curse at first "Man, i just want to live a slow life, in 2-3 years would have gotten promoted, what with this mission" but when his roommates enthusiastically asked to join them. He agreed in the end.
At that moment Joe said "I don't think this mission is as simple as it is presented"
But Kevin flexing his muscles said "What's to worry. even if there is danger, my muscles are more than enough"
Joe "Who in this era even care about your muscle"
Shaun "Then We should register for it, so what about Dhruv"
Dhruv while being lazy "Do whatever you want"
Shaun "Okay I will register for everybody"
Joe "Hey, I didn't agreed yet"
Kevin "Chill bro, its time to prepare, I should go now, to train my self"
Shaun while laughing "hey hey, who would have though that I get to see advance capturing weapons this early, there is even a chance that I will be able to use one, I need to learn about them immediately"
Jin "I think I heard what motivates him, he is very excited for this mission"
Joe "I think it more like his dark thoughts" sighing and leaving the rest to fate.
After they register - Cadets involved will get the mission details two days prior to departure.
