...MI 5

       Axel was dazed. "MI 5?" he asked.

"Ah yes, it seems that you have gone into a shock. Can't remember much, can you? MI 5 is the British spy agency, equivalent to the American CIA. You better get ready for some rough work as we will be sending you on undercover mission, some so dangerous that you might not return with your heart beating. We usually pick people from our own academy but we sometimes also recruit outsiders like you."

Axel processed all the information and finally understood the stood the situation. Oh, that MI 5. He felt proud of himself for getting recruited here.

"Nice trick with Middlesbrough Infrastructure. The initials are MI. Clever.", commented Axel. Mrs. Shaw replied, "You are exceptionally sharp, nice observation, others take a lot more time to process that. You are already showing great capability. You could become one of our top spies."

A wave of pride engulfed Axel but his subconscious immediately told him to shake it off as he had a lot more to do and to prove

Mrs. Shaw spoke, "Well, now follow me to my office, I'll have to get your retina scan and fingerprint scan for our official profile. We don't keep our profiles on the computer to save it from professional hackers. We do have seven layers of top quality firewalls, but still why take chances, eh?"

Axel just nodded his head silently staring down with his hand on his chin; as if he was in deep thought and followed his new boss.

In some time they reached their destination. Mrs.Shaw removed a small device from a drawer a kept it on the table, instructing Axel to place all of his right hand fingers one by one onto the pad of the device. The device had a micro-sensitive gel which exactly scanned and copied the minuscule ridges on his fingers and then printing them on a paper.

Next was the eye scanner. That device was no step behind in technology. The picture it printed was a 3D construction of the eye. The length of the pupil was exact to the micrometre, literally, even the tinge of his eye colour was perfect match, a shade which was like an ochre-ish hazel.

Everything is so high-tech in here, so flashy. I hope I get some cool devices.

Axel's wish was granted. "Well tomorrow is your evaluation but first come with me." saying this Mrs. Shaw placed her hand on a screen and one of the walls slowly turned to reveal a collection of guns, explosives and melee weapons.

"Whoa!" mumbled Axel as he backed away awestruck. There's a new surprise around every corner. Wow!

"Go ahead; choose 1 gun, 2 explosives and 1 melee weapon of your choice"

Axel went towards the wall. First he picked up a Japanese sword, not just any but an exact replica of the Honjo Masamune, a Japanese katana, which is considered as one of the finest Japanese swords to be created. The sheath of the sword was gilded beautifully with gold. Axel chose this as he had mastered the art of using a sword, taught by a member of an old samurai clan, the Matsudiara clan.

As for the gun, he chose a semi-automatic Intratec TEC-DC9. It could be held in a single hand, if your hand had strength, and was pretty powerful.

One of his two explosives was the EMP blast. It sends out 5-7 bursts of electromagnetic pulse which temporarily disabled any electronic device. It also came with smart self-moulding protective cases for Axel's own watch, mobile phone or any other electronic device protecting it from the pulse. It could mould around anything to protect it from the pulse.

For the other explosive he chose a high frequency sound emitter. The sound was of so high frequency that it could shatter glass, burst ear drums and even knock a person out unconscious. The bomb was accompanied by a set of ear plugs for Axel
