"C'mon, it's time for us to see if you two have what it takes to join the team."

Hongjoong says. We all go over to the coat closet, Hongjoong enters and pushes aside all of the coats. He then enters a sequence, and Yeri asks,

"What'd you write?"

I respond with,

"My sister's death anniversary, 10.24.18."

She just nods and watches Hongjoong scan his eyes and finger. The wall slides to the side to show a set of stairs. We all head down them and enter one of our many training rooms. Hongjoong takes the lead and asks the two girls,

"Who wants to go first?"

Yiren walks towards the wall that is covered with guns. She flips one in her hand and faces the target. She fires. Everyone gasps. She hit the bullseye. She fires a few more shots and all of them land within the first two rings.

"Wow, I was not expecting that,"

Hongjoong comments.

"Now with knives."

She walks over to the wall covered with knives and picks a few. She weighs them in her hand and throws one at the mannequin target. She proceeds to throw the rest. Out of the five, one of them hit the head, one at the heart, another two at the lower torso and the last one hit the mannequin's shoulder blade.

"Okay, that's it for this room. Yeri, your turn."

"Okay, what do you want me to do first?"

"Go in the same order that Yiren went in."

"Okay."

She walks towards the guns and grabs a random one. She walks until she's right in front of the target, she straightens her arms to have the gun away from her and fires. She fires ten shots in a row. All of them overlap on bullseye. Everyone mutters a quiet wow aside from Hongjoong who says,

"Okay, now knives."

"Tell me where to hit and that's where I'll hit."

She replies as she walks towards the knives. She grabs five and twirls one in one of her hands.

"Hit the mannequin's head."

She stops twirling the knife and throws the knife with only a small wrist movement. It hits the head, dead in the center.

"Okay, next is the neck."

"Easy."

She smirks and throws the knife without hesitation and hits the neck.

"Okay, hit the groin, knee, then the eye socket."

Yeri throws them all one after the other and hits the exact said spots. Everyone gasps from shock, she smirks and says,

"Told ya I'm good."

"You still have a lot more to go. Now, next room."

The next room is where we all practice our stealing, picking locks, and pickpocketing skills. When you walk in the wall on the left is covered in materials to use to pick locks, next to it is a table meant for us to practice our skills in picking locks. When the door to this room is opened the first thing in sight is that table, the wall behind has all different types of locks to pick. Situated in the middle of the room is another room made from glass. In there are all sorts of obstacles that someone might face when trying to steal something. Furthest to the right after the glass wall is a dummy that goes back and forth. There is enough room on either side of it for a person to walk by. The point of the dummy is to pickpocket it, it has sensors to where it has the touch sensitivity of a human. If you fail to pickpocket it without the dummy feeling it an alarm will go off.
