Minzy stood on the mat facing forward as did all the other students in her class. "Today is your final testing day. Your last chance. Do your best. Do you understand?" The teacher shouted.

"YES!"

We all shouted back.

The voices were mostly male.

Minzy and only six other of the forty gathered individuals were females. I took several deep breaths. I couldn't afford to be nervous. I needed to concentrate and show them that I can do this. The teacher called out two names and we watched them spar. On the other side of the room instructors watched on scoring them. Finally after four separate sparring matches my name was called out.

"Gong MinJi and Choi Junghoon."

I knew they weren't going to pair me with another girl because this was their way of seeing if I could make it, if I could hold my own against a guy. That wasn't what bothered me since I was expecting it. What bothered me was that my opponent was someone who had a deep hatred of me. Since the moment we met Choi JungHoon has been a jerk. I've passed all the other aspects of this test with flying colors I couldn't fail now.

No matter I would just have to beat him.

I walked to the center of the room facing Junghoon. He leered at me with a confident smile on his face. Junghoon was bigger than me, and stronger than me. I wouldn't be able to beat him with a straightforward attack so, I had to be quick and lethal.

"Start." The teacher called out.

Junghoon lurched toward me as I knew he would. He thought to attack straight out since he knew that he was stronger than me. I quickly side stepped him. He went barreling past. Abruptly he stopped and turned back to face me. This time instead of charging he began to circle around me slowly. I followed his movements watching his eyes to see where he would strike. Suddenly he moved forward quickly and kicked out. I easily blocked the kick with my forearms and backed away.

Junghoon kept coming at me and coming at me and I continued to block each of his attempts to get me. When he started to get tired and slow down I saw my chance. I lunged forward delivering a blow to his throat his ribs and his abdomen in rapid succession. He groaned and immediately fell to the ground.

My fellow classmates cheered.

"Woah! MinJiah!" I could hear my friend Chanyeol yelling above all the others.

The teacher yelled for everyone to be quite as I leaned over and offered my hand to Junghoon. He glared at me from his position on the ground. Ignoring my hand he stood and walked back to his place in line. I shrugged. It wasn't personal. I did what I was trained to do, take down my opponent. I walked back to my place also a wide smile on my face. I had for sure passed. Soon I would be working in my dream job as a bodyguard, protecting important people. As the next opponents lined up to spar the gym doors opened and three women walked in.

They where all breath taking and commanded attention as they strutted closer. They were all dressed similarly in jeans and killer heels. "I am sorry but you can't just come in here." Teacher Lee told them. The one in the lead with long blond hair pulled up into a ponytail stopped beside the teacher and spoke quietly. Everyone was straining to hear what she was saying but it was no use. The teacher opened his mouth to say something else when the girl nodded at the one beside her with long dark hair. She pulled out a badge I didn't recognize and a piece of paper. The teacher took the paper reading it with a stunned look on his face.

What was going on? And who were these three girls?

He handed the paper back and turned to face us. "Gong Minji." He called out.

All the other students turned to look at me, I was frozen to the spot.

Did he say my name?

Me?

What could they possibly want with me?

I stepped forward. "Yes."

He pointed at the girls. "Please go with them."

"What about the scores?" I couldn't leave in the middle of the evaluations I wouldn't know if I had passed.

"Just go." He said.

"But..." I started to protest again.

"Go. And everything will be explained." he ordered.

Unwilling to go against my teachers orders again I nodded and bowed before following the silent women out of the room. "What's going on?" I asked once we where in the hall.

"Just follow us quickly and quietly, once we are there everything will be explained." The small and petite one said.

They led me outside to a black SUV.

Did they expect me to leave with them without knowing who they were? I stopped outside the open door. "I am not going anywhere without knowing who you are first. Do you think I'm stupid? I know my rights."

I turned on my heel getting ready to walk back into the training center.

"We work for the government. We want to hire you. But first we need to have an interview. And we can't explain the nature of the job yet because it classified. Understand?"

I turned and looked at the girl with blonde hair. Her eyebrows were raised.

"Are you going to come now?" she asked.
