"And there's the dorms! If my guess is correct, yours should be all the way down the corridor," Sage explained, as she pointed to the far back of it. "Do you want me to accompany you over there?"

Y/n shook her head and replied with a smile: "I think I'll be fine, but thank you, Miss Sage!"

The older agent faced the younger one, waving her two hands in front of her chest. "You can drop the formalities, we're all in the same team. I'm glad I could help a little!" She calmly shifted her orbs to look at hers, as she would in a serious situation. She spoke again, but this time in a more professional way. "Alright then, I'll let you settle in. You'll begin the training tommorrow, so be ready at 8. I'll meet you in the common room by then."

Sage waved goodbye and walked away, probably going back to the common room, y/n guessed. The young woman's eyes traveled away from the older woman's back, staring ahead of her into the hallway. It was beautifully decorated, with many modern wall lights between each doors. Each gates were of a pearly white, many intricate and complex designs adorning them. They had golden doorknobs which were quite simple compared to the details of the doors. Each of them had a golden plate at eye level with the codename of whom the dorm belonged to. Y/n took a first hesitant step towards the corridor, that soon enough was followed by many more. As she made her way down the hallway, e/c eyes followed the doors and their plates. Her footsteps sounded amplified by the marble floor the deeper she went.

The recruit suddenly stopped on her track, as she eyed the nearest door. Quite strangely, it had her name written on the gold plate. "Uh, these guys are quick to make this with my codename on it... I barely just told it to Brimstone."

Y/n raised her hand towards the plate and gently stroked the end, a half smile curving the corner of her lips upwards. She then lowered it and grasped the doorknob, turning it. The door obediently opened without any sound. The young woman entered her dorm and was greeted with a familiar looking place.

Y/n's gaze traveled around the dorm; it seemed quite simple, but kind of comforting and welcoming. The young agent cracked a ghost of a smile as it reminded her of her old apartment, but this time, looking fresher, newer. E/c orbs fell on bags near her feet; they were hers. She heaved a sigh, feeling relieved that she could finally settle in and rest before the real training. At the thought of it, her gaze hardened. "It will be hard, I just know it. Even more for me than the others, cause I don't know how to use my abilities..." Y/n looked at her hands and clutched them both. "That's right, I'll have to work extra hard, but I know I can do it!"

"Ughhh, I'm so hungry..." The young agent grumbled to herself, flopped down on her bed and arms outstretched. She lifted her head and looked over at her almost fully decorated dorm. Her gaze flickered over to the door, as she got back up on her feet and headed for it. She opened it, and almost had a heart attack as she was faced with a young man with really short green hair. He looked to be her age. She recognized him for being the guy that she saw when she first entered the villa. He stuck out his hand in front of him and greeted her.

"Yo Plasma! Hey, it's so nice to meet you girl! The name's Gekko! I saw that you were my (almost) dorm neighbor and just wanted to say hi. You must be hungry, right? Do you want to come with me to the dining room? I was gonna head there anyway", he chirped. Y/n smiled at his welcoming tone, and she answered him: "Yeah, I'm pretty hungry! It would be nice to go there with you."

"Awesome, dude! Let's go, I'm starving!" He said while taking a step forward.

During their small walk to the dining room, Gekko kept on chattering. Y/n thought that he was really friendly... And talkative. He talked so much that she barely couldn't drop a word in between his sentences. They walked past the common room and into the dining hall, a lenghty table sat in the middle of the room, many, many chairs across from it. There were already a bunch of people who sat at the table, having hearty conversations. Y/n could recognize some people that she came to know; Sage was talking to a gorgeous purple haired woman who was listening intently to her blabbering. Killjoy was laughing with a short and black haired girl that sat beside her. Y/n's heart skipped a beat when she saw the jaw dropping, handsome man from before. He was sitting alone on the far back of the table, earbuds in. Now that she could look closer at him, he looked even better than what y/n remembered.

She was brought back to reality when Gekko lightly punched her shoulder to gain her attention. He quirked a brow, and gave her a look that said "Oh, interested in him, are you?". Y/n's cheeks reddened at his antics, shifting her head to the side in embarrassment. He chuckled at her bashfulness. "His name is Iso, he's sometimes a loner, but he's relatively fun to hang around. Oh and, the dude's also one of your dorm neighbors", Gekko winked at the recruit.

Y/n, who's face was back to her natural color, glanced at the chinese man. He seemed so calm as he ate his noodles and scrolled on his phone. Her gaze shifted back to the green-haired guy, him having changed the subject.

"Pretty sure you're new with the procedure, yeah? So for the food, it's just like a cafeteria, you go up to the kitchen and there will be plenty of choices to choose from. You tell them what you want and boom, you got it."

He stepped towards the kitchen, saying that he'll go first to show the young woman how it's done.

After choosing her meal, y/n walked back to the table where she was greeted cheerfully. She sat beside a white haired and blue eyed girl that didn't seem too old. She presented herself as Jett and she was a chirpy and lively one.

What y/n didn't notice as she chatted with Jett is that a certain chinese man couldn't help but to observe her from afar.
