War On Peace

Chapter 4

"How's the mute? Any weird habits?" Zero asks.

"Eh. She's okay, her name is Raven."

Sam, Zero, and max are supposed to be paying attention to the video that is playing, explaining the enhancements they are about to start receiving. It will explain everything they need to know for the time being.

They will have to learn and adjust to the enhancements which could be painful and even are risky enough to kill them. It is a "casualty" they are willing to make to win this war. The enhancements will make them stronger, faster, and smarter, but of course, it only works if they possessed the proper traits and abilities. If they didn't, they ended in a horrific death, of course, a price that had to be to learn how to find the right traits.

If the three are successful, they will become part of the elite training team and be moved to unit f where they would be put under Jax as their commanding officer.

Jax is known to be a troublemaker, but like his partner, Andromeda, is also a fearless and ruthless leader. They are some of the first successful projects in the enhancements, of course, they are flawed but they managed to pull out and come on top. They set the example for the following people, of course, peace still lost people even after the success.

"Alright, Subjects 100, 99, And 98," the officer who had played the video says. "Until you are successful, we cannot call you by your chosen names. This is to ensure that we don't have too much attachment to you in case you die. Except, all of you may die, maybe one of you will be all that survives. Any questions?"

"Yeah, I have one," Max says nervously. "Why me? I don't possess any of the traits."

"You work well with subject 99. Teamwork is definitely key. Any other questions?"

"When do we start?"

"That's classified. When it's time we will move you from your rooms to a new area."

"Will it be just us or are there more?"

"You will see. You are all dismissed."

As they leave the classroom, they join their classmates who are heading to the locker rooms to change for the physical exams.

"They always hold physical exams before selecting the next group of trainees for enhancements," Zed is telling a group of trainees who worshipped him. "I just know they are going to pick me. I've waited for this moment since I was so rudely placed in this scum unit."

"Yeah, that's tough shit," one of the classmates responds. "You got your ass whipped by a newbie on her first day on the grounds, they'd choose her over you in a heartbeat." A bunch of students agreed with her, she was pretty popular. "It was about time someone stood up to you, now you're the very scum you call us all." This made Zed turn red with anger.

The exams are harder than any of the training they had been subjected to. It is the last part of their examination before selections would be made, none of them know, but the whole time they had been there they are being tested for the qualifications. Everyone put in their best efforts, even the ones who won't try before.

A whistle blows across the grounds followed by Soot's booming voice. "Great job everyone, see you tomorrow morning after selections have been made. You've all done your best and now it is left to decide who is leaving and who is not. Class dismissed, go shower and get ready for dinner." She looks at several students with great pride. The selections had already been made. This was just to make everyone think they had a chance.

In fact, the majority of the trainees in this unit won't pass the enhancements, this unit had the highest mortality rate of all six units (a-f). Despite being the lowest ranking group, some of the best generals and officers had started here.
