Etzia
[I carried my backpack with the gifts that my relatives gave me. I didn't want to leave it behind because I didn't want to waste their effort. I followed the two men to Norwine Station, which was close to Regulus Square. I remember that I came here before whenever my family got on the Astraeus City Rail Line, as we used to. When we got there, I noticed we hadn't purchased tickets.]
Etzia
(leaning against a nearby post, her eyes fixed on the train) Why are we not buying tickets?
Finn
(glancing at her, then back to the approaching train) "You see."
(A train was coming; it was so quiet).
Etzia
(tilting her head) This train looks different and is something, even.
Liam
"This is StarDust. Built for our association."
Etzia
"(raising an eyebrow) Why does the association need its own train? Isn't that a bit... something."
Finn
"So, we can operate the train whenever we need it, and association can use it to help the council or the communities if they are in need. The people who use it are the chaperones who pick up special children, and squads can use it for their own benefit. The trainees need someone's supervision to use it."
(Three of them are in the Star Dust).
Liam
"When you get to the headquarters, they will assign you a place to stay. And you will go to the institute, which means the academy, and you will start as a trainee."
Etzia
"So I will go to school, so what will they teach?"
Liam
leans back more, raising an eyebrow "It's more than just school. You'll cover everything from tactics to strategy development. They teach not only physical skills but also critical thinking. It's essential for your training."
Oh, you know, they have the usual— stamina, some tactics, other subjects, and... probably a whole lot of running.
Etzia
(dryly) "Why they have different teachings."
Liam
Well, the academy does have a few team exercises. Might have to step out of your agenda occasionally. Do you think you'll manage?"
Etzia
(pausing to consider, deadpan) "Manage? "
Liam
Right, but it's part of the process. You'll learn to be with others but not eventually.
Etzia
(Sight) "Reliance on others often introduces inconvenient...
Inconvenient is frowned upon in our line of work, isn't it?"
Liam
"Only if you want to advance."
They have a different structure to have good achievement, and the special children can harness their potential.
Etzia
Though, should I choose their way.
Liam
