SICARII

The air was thick with tension as the hours slowly ticked by, each passing moment bringing the students closer to the end of the showcase. As the sun began to set outside, Mr. Piock's voice echoed through the halls, calling the students to gather in the main hall. Taizen, Ragra, and Mionara made their way there, hearts pounding with nervous anticipation.

When they arrived, they saw representatives from various organizations, all looking sharp and professional. Taizen recognized some of them from previous showcases, but he still couldn't shake the nerves that were knotting his stomach.

As the students took their seats, Mr. Piock addressed them all, his voice stern and serious. "This is it, students. The moment we've all been working towards. The organizations have been closely watching your performances and they will now select the students they wish to join them for the next three months."

Taizen's heart raced as he tried to read the expressions of the representatives. Were they impressed with his skills? Did they see potential in him? He couldn't tell, and the uncertainty only added to his anxiety.

As the tension in the air grew thick, Mr. Piock's voice boomed through the microphone, announcing each student's fate one by one. The crowd held their breaths as they waited for their names to be called out, hoping to be selected by their dream organization.

Suddenly, Mr. Piock's voice thundered through the hall, "Ragra Ironside, Assassin Organization!" The crowd erupted into cheers and applause as Ragra confidently made his way to the stage, grinning from ear to ear.

The excitement in the air grew even more palpable as Mr. Piock called out the next student, "Luna Forest, Berserker Organization!" Luna beamed with pride as she walked up to the stage, her transformation into a fearsome cat beast still fresh in everyone's minds.

The room fell silent as Mr. Piock's voice echoed through the hall once again, "Mionara Gutti, Beast Organization!" Mionara stepped forward with a calm confidence, looking determined to prove herself in the upcoming months.

Finally, Mr. Piock called out the last name on the list, "Taizen Silver, Beast Organization!" The crowd erupted into a frenzy of cheers and applause as Taizen stepped forward, a proud smile spreading across his face.

As the students dispersed to their respective organizations, Taizen couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and excitement. He knew that the next three months would be challenging, but he was ready to prove himself and come out even stronger on the other side.

Taizen was happy to hear that he and Mionara were going to the same organization, but he couldn't help feeling a little nervous about what was to come. He had heard that the Beast Organization was known for their brutal training and high expectations.

As the showcase ended, Taizen, Mionara Luna and Ragra congratulated each other on their successes and wished each other luck on their respective journeys.

"I can't believe we're actually leaving tomorrow. It feels like just yesterday we were starting our training together."

Luna nodded in agreement, "I know, it's going to be so weird not seeing you guys every day. But I'm excited to see what the Beserker organization has in store for me."

Ragra grinned, "Assassin organization, here I come. I can't wait to learn some new tricks."

Mionara smiled at Taizen, "At least we'll be together in the Beast organization, right?"

Taizen nodded, "Yeah, that's comforting. But I'm still nervous about what we'll be facing. I hope we're ready for it."

Taizen and Mionara spent the rest of the day preparing for their departure, packing their bags and making sure they had everything they needed.

Taizen, Mionara and the other four students who were selected to join the Beast organization had a quick meeting with the organization's representative before their training began the next day. The woman was in her 30s, no taller than 5'8, with white hair that seemed to be out of place. Her piercing stare sent chills down their spines as she congratulated them on their selection.

"Congratulations on being selected," the woman said with a chilling smile. "You all really impressed us today, hence why we picked you. We believe you will develop immensely within our organization."

But then, her tone and demeanor changed, turning dark and cold in an instant. 

"However," she continued, "you may be happy to be selected, but this is where your life changes forever. You will see unimaginable things that you will never forget. It's about to get real, and your training is over. It's time to see the world for how it really is."

The woman's eyes narrowed as she spoke, and the students couldn't help but feel intimidated by her presence. "You will learn to fight for your life," she said, her voice dropping to a low growl. "You will face horrors that will make your blood run cold, and you will be pushed beyond your limits. You will learn to embrace the darkness within you and use it to survive."

Taizen and Mionara exchanged nervous glances, unsure if they were ready for what was to come. The woman's words echoed in their minds, making them feel small and insignificant in the face of the challenges ahead.

"Remember," the woman said, her voice rising to a crescendo, "you are no longer students. You are Beasts now. And beasts do not fear, they do not hesitate, and they do not back down. You will be tested, and you will prevail. Or you will die."

The students couldn't help but feel a shiver run down their spines as the woman's words hung in the air. They knew that this was only the beginning of their journey, and they had no idea what horrors awaited them. But they also knew that they had no choice but to face them head-on if they wanted to survive.

That night, Taizen couldn't sleep. He was anxious about what awaited him at the Beast Organization. He wondered if he was truly prepared for the challenges ahead. He tried to calm himself down by reminding himself of all the hard work he had put in during his training, but it didn't do much to ease his worries.

The students were escorted to the vehicle, which was heavily tinted and looked like it had been modified to ensure maximum security. As they got in, they couldn't help but notice the complete silence that filled the air. The beast organisation representative sat in the driver's seat and started the engine. The roar of the engine was deafening, and the students could feel the vibrations of the car shaking their entire bodies.

The representative turned to face them, and her face was now completely devoid of any expression. "I need you to understand something," she said in a cold and distant voice. "Once we arrive at Delria, you are no longer students. You are soldiers, and you will be treated as such. You will be pushed to your limits, and we will make sure that you become the best of the best. But let me be clear, the training you are about to undergo will not be easy. It will be brutal, it will be intense, and it will be unforgiving."

The students couldn't help but feel a shiver run down their spine. They had heard about the Beast Organisation's reputation for being the toughest organisation in the world, but they never thought it would be this terrifying. "We will strip you of your weaknesses, and make sure that you become a well-oiled machine," the representative continued. "You will learn to survive in the harshest of conditions, fight with every ounce of your being, and never give up, even if it means sacrificing yourself for the mission. You will learn to embrace the darkness within you, and use it to your advantage. You will become beasts, and you will be feared by your enemies."

The students couldn't help but feel a mixture of fear and excitement. They knew that this was what they had signed up for, but they had never expected it to be this intense. As the vehicle took off, they looked out the window and watched as the school disappeared into the distance. They knew that they were leaving their old lives behind, and that they were about to embark on a journey that would change them forever.

After six long hours, the plane finally landed in Delria. As they stepped out of the aircraft, they were greeted by a dense fog that made it difficult to see more than a few feet ahead. The beast organisation representative led them to a black van waiting outside the airport. The van ride was eerily silent, with only the sound of the engine and the raindrops hitting the windshield. The students tried to make small talk, but the representative remained quiet and stone-faced. It was almost as if she didn't want to reveal too much about what was in store for them. After an hour's drive, they arrived at their destination: a massive, ominous-looking building that stood tall amidst the fog. The beast organisation representative led them inside, and they were met with a labyrinth of hallways and rooms that seemed to go on forever. "This will be your home for the next three months," the representative said, her tone still cold and distant. "You will train, eat, and sleep here. Everything you need will be provided, but you will have to work hard for it." As they walked through the building, the students were surprised to see that the exterior was just a facade - the inside was surprisingly advanced. The walls were lined with monitors and holographic displays, and there were dozens of technicians and researchers working diligently at their stations. The representative led the students through the maze of hallways and into a large conference room. The walls were made of glass, giving them a stunning view of the city below. A massive holographic display was mounted on the far wall, displaying various maps and charts. "This is our nerve center," the representative said, her voice echoing in the vast space. "We monitor everything that happens in Delria, and beyond. As the group of students were standing in awe, the woman continued, "Welcome to the Beast Organisation Headquarters. I understand it may look rustic on the outside, but don't let that fool you. Our technology is top of the line and we have everything you need to train and become the best of the best." Two muscular men approached the group, introducing themselves as Zack and Jax. "We'll be showing you around the HQ and taking you to your quarters," Zack said. As they were led through the halls, the students couldn't help but be amazed at the advanced technology that surrounded them. From holographic training rooms to state-of-the-art weapons, it was clear that the Beast Organisation was not to be underestimated. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at a large door with a biometric scanner. "This is where you'll be staying," Jax explained as he scanned his fingerprint and opened the door. Inside, the students found luxurious suites with comfortable beds and high-tech amenities. "As for training," Zack added, "we have the best trainers in the world and they will push you to your limits. But don't worry, you'll come out stronger and ready for anything." As they settled into their new surroundings, the students couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something dark lurking beneath the surface of the Beast Organisation. But for now, they were excited to start their training and see what the future held for them. Taizen and Mionara walked into their shared room, taking in their new surroundings. The room was surprisingly spacious, with two twin beds on opposite sides of the room. "Wow, this is definitely not what I was expecting," Taizen said, looking around the room. "I know, right?" Mionara replied, sitting down on one of the beds. "I was expecting something more...basic." "I heard that the Beast Organization was advanced, but I didn't think it would be this advanced," Taizen said, taking a seat on the other bed. "I mean, just look at all these gadgets and technology." Mionara nodded in agreement. "It's definitely different from what we're used to. But I guess that's the point, right? To challenge us and push us beyond our limits." Taizen looked at him with a hint of concern. "But what kind of challenges are we going to face here? That woman's words still haunt me." Mionara's expression turned serious. "I don't know, but we have to be ready for anything. We can't let our guard down." Taizen nodded. "Agreed. We'll have to stick together and watch each other's backs." The two friends shared a determined look, both knowing that the journey ahead would be far from easy. The new agent recruits were called into a briefing room to meet with one of the beast squadron leaders who gave them a stern introduction. "Welcome to the Beast Organisation. You are not here to play games or waste time. Our mission is to protect Delria and its citizens at all costs. Today, you will be thrown into the deep end with your first mission." The recruits exchanged nervous glances as the leader continued. "Your objective is to eliminate a terrorist group that has been causing havoc on the outskirts of Delria. They have been responsible for multiple bombings and have put innocent lives at risk. We cannot let this continue." Taizen and the others were surprised at the intensity of the mission. They thought they would be allowed some time to settle in and adjust to their new surroundings. "Sir, with all due respect, we are new to the organisation and have just arrived in Delria. Shouldn't we have some time to prepare and plan?" Taizen asked hesitantly. The squadron leader gave him a cold stare. "Time is not a luxury we have. You were chosen for a reason, and we believe you are ready for this. You will be accompanied by experienced members of the Beast Organisation who will guide you through this mission. Failure is not an option." Taizen and the other recruits swallowed nervously as they realized the gravity of the situation. They knew they had to put their training to the test and do whatever it takes to complete the mission. All the agents nodded in agreement as the squad leader emphasized the importance of their role in society. "Gone are the days where hitmen were hired guns, simply carrying out assassinations for money," he said sternly. "In today's world, we are the guardians of society, protecting innocent lives and ensuring the safety of our communities." Taizen couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility and pride wash over him. He had always thought of himself as just a skilled fighter, but now he realized that his skills could be used for something greater. The squad leader continued, "Your mission is to eliminate a terrorist group on the outskirts of Delria. These individuals have caused chaos and destruction, and it's up to us to put an end to it." Taizen and the other agents listened intently as the leader gave them the details of the mission, including the location of the group and their known tactics. Taizen felt a rush of adrenaline as he realized the seriousness of the task at hand. As they left the briefing room, Taizen turned to Mionara and whispered, "I can't believe we're jumping straight into our first mission. This is intense." Mionara nodded, his expression serious. "We were chosen for a reason," she said. "We can do this." Taizen took a deep breath, feeling determined. He knew that they had a lot to prove, but he was ready to give it his all. The squadron leader leaned forward and addressed the group of agents. "We're going to be running to our destination, it's not far, only a 9 hour run. When we arrive, we'll rest for half a day to allow us to regain our energy." One of the agents raised their hand tentatively. "Sir, did you say a 9 hour run?" The squadron leader nodded. "Yes, that's correct." The agents looked at each other in disbelief. One of them spoke up, "Forgive me for asking, sir, but a 9 hour run doesn't exactly sound like a walk in the park. Are you sure we're ready for this?" The squadron leader's eyes narrowed. "You've all trained for this, and I have no doubt in your abilities. You're more than capable of completing this mission." The agents exchanged nervous glances, but knew there was no arguing with the squadron leader. They had trained hard for this moment, and they wouldn't let their doubts get in the way of completing the mission. The squadron leader leaned forward and looked intently at the six agents. "The six of you are going to be joined by three other beast members for this mission," he said, his voice low and serious. "You will meet them in the morning before we depart." Taizen furrowed his brow in confusion. "Why are we being joined by three more members? I thought we were enough for this mission." The squadron leader nodded. "You six are skilled, but we need more people to ensure the success of this mission. These three are some of our best, so you should feel reassured that we're taking this seriously." Mionara spoke up, concern evident in his voice. "But we haven't even met them yet. How do we know we can trust them?" "They are part of our organization," the squadron leader replied firmly. "You can trust them, just as they can trust you. We are all in this together."
