As we entered the meeting, everyone was already seated. I took a seat between Ghost and Soap. Price was standing in front of a big screen which showed a lot of things, people, coordinates etc.

"Back on topic, before we go any further- Kaia, they will be doing several tests including physical ones to see if you can or you can continue to be part of the military and Task Force 141." Price told me.

It was a normal thing to do. I'm like a new person inside someone important with a very important job.

"I understand." I said with a smile.

He smiled back at me and turned around to continue talking about the mission.

A few hours later, the meeting ended and Simon escorted me to the shooting range of the base where my first test was to take place.

Simon opened the door letting me through first, no one was there but all the guns and bullets were ready on a table.

I walked up to the table and there was a piece of paper with my name on it...I didn't resist and looked at the paper clearly.

~ Example of the paper: ~

When I finished reading the whole paper I was quite impressed with all the skills on the paper and the confirmed kills. It was impossible to believe that it was all about me...in other words, the paper talks about the old me.

"Is all that true?" I asked Simon who was all this time silent looking at me.

He came closer to me and read the paper in detail-"ya' , it's all true."

I opened my eyes and put the paper back on the table- "wow-really impressive." I said as I looked at the weapons this time.

I took a glock in my hands , inspected it and reloaded it automatically.

"Now the rifle." Ghost said looking at me as he held the paper in his hands and pointed with a pen.

"Wait-you're the one who will be supervising me?" I asked lowering the glock to the table.

"Ya' , now the rifle." Simon said to me pointing to the rifle.

I looked at the rifle- "I- I don't know how-"

"Yea' you do, ya' just did it with the glock." Simon said to me pointing this time to the glock.

Then it dawned on me - yes I did. I didn't even realize it...it was like if my mind had gone on automatic and acted with my body without me even realizing it. I can't even describe it or explain it properly....

I took the rifle in my hands, reloaded it, positioned myself...took a breath and fired.

I really liked the way it felt to shoot. I lowered the rifle and placed it on the table, Simon brought the target paper closer and took it in his hand.

I stared at it nervously.

"And so?" I asked him.

"You passed." He lowered the paper and wrote on the paper that he had my proof.
