War of the Zwei Kinds

Chapter 2 - The Recruit's Journey

Click click ~

Ambient noise could be heard from the muffled sounds of tar crunching and cracking.

Click click ~ The sound is heard again but only louder and sharper in tone.

William was looking at out of the window daydreaming and talking to himself.

The Crystal...

"Uh-hmm..." A noise of someone clearing their throat could be heard next to him.

William dazed slowly towards the noise still in a half-asleep state.

"Mr.William! " A voice called out to him, breaking through his senses.

William got startled and avert his gaze towards the speaker. "Yeah, What is it .. Miss Kalen," William asked her in return for her wake-up call.

"You silly goose, You are still a heavy daydreamer as ever ... We are going to reach Reading in a couple of minutes, could you hold on tight? " She told him.

"Aren't we supposed to head to the faculty of that military base? " William asked her in confusion.

"Yes, you dumb bolt. The Military base is technically in Basingstoke but it's between the area of Reading, so technically it both Basingstoke and Reading ...Mr.Sherlock". She joked with him.

William chuckled in embarrassment.

*William's Perspective*

This chauffeur is Kalen Reina. She is some rich girl with a strange name. She like changing her name quite a lot of times probably for some secrets or sorts or just for fun. The last time I heard, Her mother agreed to let her be named Kurumi. The reason is that her family has an odd bloodline dating back to the Edo period as some sort of warmonger or whatever.

Now, however, her family makes a living by doing cosmetic business. She technically has a lot of money but since her mother is a little smart for stopping her allowance, well, she has to work it out for herself. So, she took over the job of a part-time driver for my family. Well, let's just say it's odd to have a neighbour with a daughter who works for my family's house.

I wonder what the commoners would think.

Ironically, for a family who makes money out of cosmetic business, she ironically hates make-up and relies on natural beauty and to be honest, she is quite a beauty especially those jugs of hers. Oh, wow, now what am I thinking ...

...

A few minutes later, William arrived at the area. Some strange machines checked all over the car by scanning weird beams of lights towards our car and some sort of strange beeping disk, perhaps a metal detector.

After a check or so, they were given the clear. Kalen drove through the now opened gates and parked at the visitors and applicant section of the parking area. The area was empty like dead, barely cars nor bikes were there. The only thing William could see is a huge building with a newish symbol symbolising the letter "C".

Kalena pocketed her keys and pats William hard on the back. Whack~

"Oi.," William shouted.

"What..? It's your first day in a Military Base, cheer up. I am walking you in for your first time here ." She giggled and told William.

Kalena gave him his suitcase and his document files that were kept together with him. She walked him into the base as a sign was placed next to the entrance's door.

" Continuum, The place where wonders happen." That doesn't really sound millitaryish. "I thought this was a military base..." he asked Kalena confused.
