Of the many youth yesterday, now only 50 percent left. Intelligence tests are conducted at the main headquarters of the secret organization. In the middle east. It's a long way from Claire's house. This morning Claire was picked up by a young man named Claude. The same guy who picked her up yesterday.
"Your name is Claude?"
"Yes, miss"
"Is it your duty to only take me during the test?"
"No miss"
"Then?"
"I was your personal driver from yesterday. Until you are accepted into the organization, then I will continue to serve you"
"What is the basic concept"
"Basic concept, all agents are shared with partners. Men and women. The partners should be able to work together. I am your servant. As well as your partner, Miss Claire"
"While it's still a test, there's been a partner division"
"There are other concepts as well. The mission is divided by team. And team mapping based on physical test results and intelligence tests. Each team must have at least 2 people who have good physicality, as well as 2 people who have high intelligence"
"It's complicated"
"All of that is done so that each team has high potential in completing the mission"
"I understand"
"We're up, miss"
Claire looked at the car glass. A tall and large building shaped like a half round. White paint, shiny like shining silver. So luxurious.
In front of that half-rounded building, there was a vast green field. Maybe if calculated area 200 × 100 meters. Between the green fields, there was a road to the main location right in the middle of the field. The greenness of these grasses adds to the beauty of the main headquarters.
Claude stopped his car in the parking lot. There are a lot of cars out there. Maybe there are a lot of people inside too.
Claire is escorted with Claude into the main base. There are five floors in it. Not visible from the outside. That's grand. Who was the architect who made this place?
"Miss Claire, welcome to our headquarters" said Mr. Astra
"This place is so magnificent"
"thank you. The space for the intelligence test is on the 4th floor. Claude, please take Miss Claire"
"Good Sir. Come with me"
Claude walked back to Claire. Entering elevator. Pressing the number 4 available there.
They arrived at the 4th floor. The beauty of this main headquarters can be enjoyed from the 4th floor. A lot of people go down there. Claude immediately walked over, showing Claire the intelligence test room.
"This is the room, miss"
"Thank you for chanting up here"
"Sama-sama. It's my duty"
Claire goes into the room, Claude leaves. Back downstairs.
Just a few steps into the room, someone greeted him.
"Claire, good morning!!!" a voice that sounds excited
"At first" he answered briefly
"Ah, it's still morning don't put on such a sad look" the source of the voice approached Claire
"Morning as well, Selby" Claire replied with a wide smile
"That's dong"
"Is this room only for women? which man?" muttered Claire
"We're sitting next to you, Claire" Selby said
"Yes"
A few minutes later, the supervisor came. Sit at the watchtower. Handing out a sheet of paper to each of the intelligence test participants.
"All right, intelligence test, START!!!"
All the participants worked on the matter on top of that piece of paper. There was a cynical expression, there was a happy expression, there was also a confused expression. Claire had a flat expression. So that other people do not know he is happy or not in doing this test.
"Oh, is there a matter of decoding as well?!!" selby sat next to him. He looks very confused. No experience with code breaking
Claire answered everything calmly. These matters counted difficult levels. But Claire had prepared herself. Even how to crack the code. Something easy for him.
All the participants rested downstairs. Eat the snacks they bring.
"Tau gini I brought a snack" said Selby who wore a tired expression
"I didn't bring it either"
"I went to the supermarket with my partner first yeah, see you" Selby waved her hand at Claire. Claire is alone. Sitting in a long chair with no one else sitting on it
"Miss Claire" A man called her name
"I just went to a convenience store near here. If you want to eat a snack, I bought it. Also, I bought a bottle of water. It's still cold" he said as he offered a bottle of cold drink
"Thank you, you're very considerate of your partner" Claire replied
"It's my duty miss" Claude said with a sweet smile
Without further ado, Claire drinks a bottle of Claude's drink. That's soda. It is suitable to be enjoyed at a time like this.
"Miss, the announcement of the test takers received in the organization is on the 2nd floor"
"That's it?"
"Yes, miss, there is no need to go there. Let me just go. Wait here"
"I don't want to bother you anymore, Claude. Let me go there myself"
"Then I will accompany you to go there"
"As far as you go"
Claire goes by the stairs to the 2nd floor followed by her partner Claude. It feels a bit uncomfortable, but he's a good guy. It's impossible for Claire to throw him out, right?
Announcement Board
The writing was exposed on the 2nd floor. Plenty of people.
"Miss, are you sure you'll see the announcement yourself?"
"Of course"
Claire broke through the crowd. He was pressed in the middle. Breathlessness. Claire decides to back off first. But because of that insistence, he fell to the floor.
"Miss, all right?" Claude extended his hand to Claire. Offering her help
"Huft, forget it" Claire received Claude's hand
"I told you, let me see it for you"
"Yes, try to do it there"
"Neither miss"
Claude entered the crowd. But strangely, those people immediately stepped aside. Make way for the young man. Easily, Claude searched Claire's name on the sign. The top 17. It means passing the test and being accepted in the organization.
He came back to tell Claire this. Claire who sat up had a gawking expression.
"What's wrong, miss?" Claude waved his hand in front of Claire's face
"HOW CAN YOU?!!!" claire's screams surprised Claude
"Sorry, what's miss?" ask plain Claude
"So I broke through the crowd, but they pushed me until I fell. But when you get to the crowd, they make way for you. How can it be like that???"
"Well, I don't know myself either"
"Have you ever found out why?"
"No miss, it'll just be a waste of my time"
"As far as you go, huft"
"Oh yes, for her announcement, Miss Claire passed the test. So for the next, miss is my partner" said Claude
"It's good that I escaped. My parents would be so happy"
"Well, then take me home"
"Neither miss"
Claude and Claire leave the main headquarters of the organization. Followed by some others. The main headquarters was quiet for a moment.
