Determination of the Unevolved Chapter-1, Part-2

PART 2 - An unknown facility

Archie wakes up at an unknown place on a bed.

Archie is in a small bedroom. He wonders how he got here.

He looks around and finds Ayumu sitting on a chair. Ayumu was sleeping.

He wakes him up and asks him, "Ayumu where are we? Is this your home?"

Ayumu replies, "We are in the R.O.U. facility, and it's not my home."

"Wait... it actually exists?!?!? But then, why are we here?"

"A scientist from this place saw us, brought us here and treated you. They said you had Cyanide poisoning."

"So? what are we going to do now?" Ayumu asks.

"Let's just take a moment to rest here. We'll figure out what to do later."

A doctor entered the room.

"Oh, I see, both of you are awake. What was your name again?"

"I'm Ayumu and He's Archie."

"So, Archie, how did you get cyanide poisoning?"

"I don't know..."

"When did you eat last? And what was it?

"I ate a few cherries, and I don't know what time it is right now so... I won't be able to know unless you tell me."

"Did you eat the seeds too?"

"Yeah" Archie replies.

"Yeah, that's exactly the reason, cherry seeds contain cyanide."

"Uhmmm, what's cyanide?"

"Uh well, you can think of it as some sort of poison. Since you kids are awake, visit room number 73.

"Why?" Ayumu asked.

"Well, you'll know when you get there."

"Fine."

Archie and Ayumu agreed to go to room number 73.

"70,71,72 oh, there's room number 73."

The door opened automatically as they came near the door.

Entering the room, they saw 3 other people. 2 girls and 1 boy.

As soon as they entered the room, the sliding doors behind them closed.

"Who are you guys?" Ayumu asked.

"We could ask you guys the same."

"I'm Archie and he's Ayumu."

"I'm Yoshiko Egawa and she's Natsumi Aoi."

"I'm Ryota."

Unexpectedly, someone's voice started coming from the speakers inside the room.

"As you know, R.O.U is a place where only humans live and breed, but what you kids don't know is that R.O.U is also a place where humans are trained. At R.O.U there are many human professors, engineers and scientists etc. Our main goal is to make humanity dominant again. There are over 100 rooms each containing 5 people. All of you are given the chance to become humanity's last hope. You kids are the inhabitants of room number 73. So, the five of you are the members of Group-73. Group-58 and Group-92 don't have enough members yet. After all of the groups have 5 members each, the examination will begin. End of audio log -1."

"Wait what?? Did they even ask for our consent?" Yoshiko asked.

"Doesn't matter. This is a place where you kill or be killed but instead. They will make you compete with all the others, only the last 15 kids or the last 3 groups standing after the examination ends will be able to survive and be humanity's last hope." Ryoto replies.

"So we just have to pass this? Seems easy enough." - Archie

"The thing is that this examination will last for over 10 years, and some people will actually be killed."

"But how do you know all of this Ryoto?" Ayumu asked.

"My uncle works at one of the departments of R.O.U. All you need to know is that you need to pass this thing."

"Fine, then we have to make someone the leader, so, I'll be the leader." Yoshiko says.

"What? A leader should be the one who can make rational decisions instantaneously." Ayumu replied.

"Well, I did just decide that I will be the leader instantaneously."

"That's not how that works!"

(A/N: Ryotos face expression right now: -_-)

"Let's decide by votes. Rules are that you cannot vote yourself." says Aoi.

Everyone agreed to decide by voting.

"Everyone point at the person you want to vote for."

Ryoto, Yoshiko and Archie voted for Natsumi Aoi.

Natsumi and Ayumu voted for Archie.

Somehow Natsumi got the most votes, so she was decided to be the leader.

"So, let's talk about the examination. What will happen? How will they test us?"

"They will test us both physically and psychologically. Like, make us do random exercises for 2 hours every day, balance training, grip strength increasing exercises, fighting multiple wolves with bare hands, not giving us any food for 2 weeks straight and some others..." Ryoto replied.

Info:

The full form of R.O.U is "Resurrection of the Unevolved". R.O.U is a facility where human professors, researchers, engineers, scientists, doctors and geniuses reside. R.O.U is a research facility which researches primarily on humans. Vheumans think of this place as a normal research facility which is being run by humans. But the main goal of this place is to bring down the Vheumans and make humanity as the dominant species again. R.O.U may seem like a normal research facility at first sight, but it is much more than that...
