War of the Zwei Kinds

Chapter 3 - The Recruit's Introduction To The Echelon of Females

Kalen gave a smile towards William who was now rather happy but exhausted

"So? how did the interview go?." Kalen aka Kalena asked William curiously for an answer.

William looks at Kalen in a very happy mood. "They like me and they are willing to accept me. Though I have to say, the generals are kinda strange."

Kalen smirks as she turns to the short figure who she was talking to for a while as they were waiting for William.

"I have a friend here for you to talk to and she will also be your guide." Kalen gave a wink and a smile.

As the shorter figure turns back to William, she blurted out a nickname which is quite familiar to him. "Hello There Shõ, fancy for you to join me here in this base." She said in a rather whimsical manner as if already knowing him for ages.

William in surprise looks up and down and shuffled a few steps backwards. "Shizuka..?! Wait for Wha~ What are you doing here?!"

"Well, I'm here for active duty and ... the generals also scouted me out. Also, What do you mean by the generals were "weird" hmm? ~ "She winks in a very curious way.

"What happened in the interview room huh? ~ Did something funny happened in there? What is so weird? ... "She spoked very curiously with a tinge of a tease.

William chuckled as he has lost his words and probably his marbles too.

"Uhh...Shall we just start the tour ...yeah hehe? " He continued chuckling.

Kalen and Shizuka gave a soft chuckle. " Alright Shizuka, stop teasing William and be serious now. Also, I heard you are in another echelon so you're technically not in his group." Kalen asked.

"Yes, I'm not in his echelon whichever echelon was he assigned to, Mine is in the South wing since my class is based on a different type of operations." She explained.

"Anyway, Right this way... I will guide you to the main hall aka the Centre Circle where it is the biggest area and the pathways to each of the wings... Though you cant just enter a wing without having the certain ID, you need permission from one of the generals or just be given a temporary ID by a captain of the opposite echelon your in. For example, Me!"

Kalen had to do her job so she excused herself and took a walk back to the carpark. "William, Take care of my younger sister ok and make sure she doesn't get hurt badly..." she slaps her hand onto his back hard again as typical and waves goodbye.

("Oww...why does she keep doing that... it hurts") "Oi.." He softly shouted.

William then waves back and kept up to pace with Shizuka as they walked along the hallway towards the main building.

As they were on the way there, William felt different. He felt a little heavy and light-headed. He felt as he was being watched, he saw dots flying around his face as if having low blood pressure yet, he still walked like normal, perhaps he is going insane, who knows.

Reaching the main building, it was rather different compared to the reception and waiting room. It was full, filled to the brim with noise and soldiers. Some ran around perhaps in a rush while others relaxed.

There were a few groups on tables playing cards or sipping on tea, vinegrapping and gossiping about the latest trends in weapons or fashion, weapons? that's out of the ordinary, right? No, wrong. This is a military base who wouldn't talk about their favourite gun.

William and Shizuka had to squeeze through before he had to separate to enter his wing, the west wing.

"Halt...." A voiced shouted towards him as a beaming light of heat red was being blinded onto his eyes.
