All Time Marksman

Chapter 55 - The Candidacy

"The officer only said to me that I will be re-assigned for an unknown date. I just want to let you guys know first before anything else" Jin sighed as he said that he felt that he betrayed them. And Fang Shirong tapped his shoulder and look Jin in the eyes and then Fang Shirong punched Jin in the face without a heads up.

Jin dropped to the ground because Fang Shirong's punch was unexpected. Jin looked up to Fang Shirong. "Why did you do that for?" Jin exclaimed as he swipes the blood that was dripping from his lips. Fang Shirong did not respond to his question but rather gives his hand.

"Damn you, silly bastard, you really are weird," Jin exclaimed as he grabbed Fang Shirong's hands both of them smiled at each other. 

"I just recognized you as a brother and now you are going to leave me. You know you are not fair, I hate that kind of thing leaving us when you created what we are now." Fang Shirong's tears drip from his eyes. "Well I am not yet leaving they only said that I will be re-assigned but there are no words for it.

And I don't think they will reassign me when the squad is well-conditioned when I am here right" Jin exclaimed as he calmed down the situation as some of the squad members are felt sad that he will be leaving as a Squad leader for their squad.

And then there was a knock on the room door. Everyone was hesitant about who will open it because it might be the officer that will let them be informed that Jin will be leaving. "I don't want to open that door you know." Fang Shirong grabs Jin's arms from the back.

"We won't let you leave our squad". "Everyone to your battle stations, we must secure the squad leader." Han Zian shouted as he goes to the front of Jin. "Guys what are you doing let me open the damn door!" Jin tried to make a way for Fang Shirong to let go of his arms.

But Qi Meili walks towards the door. "Wait Qi Meili what are you doing!" Han Zian shouted and grab her hand. And then Qiao Jiao Looked at the two guys while holding their squad leader and Qiao Jiao walked to the door and opened it. And As he opened it the officer was standing.

"Why are you so slow in opening the door candidate," the officer said in an irritable manner.

"Well hand this to your Squad leader this will be his new uniform and he is going to be re-assigned to the Specialist Course training. The instructions are also inside, and for further instructions about his Squad there is also specified inside."

The officer handed a metallic box that is incorporated with the logo of the N.D.A.M

Qiao Jiao grab the metallic box and saluted at the officer. The officer saluted back and turns around and walks away. Qiao jiao closed the door looked at the Squad leader with teary eyes. And then for a slight moment, Qiao Jiao tend to hold her tears but it was no use he placed the box on the table and as she placed it on the table her tears began falling from her eyes to the table.

She looked at Jin and said "Squad leader the information regarding your transfer is in this box. Please take care and don't forget about the 29th." 

Fang Shirong who was grabbing Jin's arms from the back also burst into tears.  All of them burst into tears even Jin who was walking towards the table. "You know guys don't you worry I will come back. Like if we will never see each other."

Jin exclaimed as he smiled. And when all of them looked at Jin they burst into tears once again. "You know that you are the best Squad leader we had since day 1 you are the most excellent" Han Zian stated as he walked towards Jin.

Jin turns around and grabs the box and puts his thumb on the censor it then takes a little sample of Jin's blood. So Jin reacted as if he pulls his thumb back and then a blue tab appeared in front of him. Then an Artificial intelligence voice followed.

[Voice message Hologram initiated]

After the Artificial intelligence voice, a hologram appeared on top of the box. It was the face of the Commanding officer of the 7th Player Corp Colonel Bai Meng. 

"Hello, Specialist you have been informed as of now. To enter the course of the leadership training of the N.D.A.M because leaders like you are needed to fight those monsters and to crush the rebel cell that is making the whole country in despair. As for the instruction upon entering the course you are required to leave the Squad you are in. But don't worry your squad will also be put to a higher physical and Ability type of training. If they train hard and don't surrender your squad will be in good shape. Now, this transfer is not permanent because you are just increasing your knowledge once you are sent to the front lines. As a Specialist, you are now destined to lead people. Now as a leader you need more knowledge so that you won't lose people under you. But in our line of work, you must also accept that it is dangerous and there will be a time that you might lose some people under you. With this, I will end the transmission, good luck, and may your skills be a rise to the top." 

And the hologram ended and the box suddenly opened some smoke was released upon opening with pressure. "So, I will be transferred to a training course but not as the same as you guys were you'll be entering another hellish training so that you may increase your potentials. Guys remember don't surrender we are all in this job together and no one will be left behind am I understood?"

Jin looked at them and looked at his new training uniform. There is also an added note that was on top of the uniform. [ You are required to be at station 7 by 0500 hours.] 

"Looks like we are all in a training regime this time around. After an excellent observation, I guess we really going to finish through and be one of the top squire squad. Hell yeah, 29th!" Fang Shirong stopped crying and shouted in joy as they all going to go into training.

They all celebrated for the time being at that night. On the next morning, Jin woke up before the designated time. His head hurt because of the drinks he has drunk, he smells like a bear it was already 043000. "Oh shit, I am going to be late. this is the worse! You are going to be kidding me."

Jin rushed towards the bathroom. But he did not know that the clock was set 1 hour in advance so the real-time was only 03000 hours. Jin fixes his bag and all as if he was going to be late. 

"Damn I really felt that I was on the wrong last night. The whole room is in the mess. Dammit I should have not allowed them to drink now we are all drunk and I am going to be late."

Jin exclaimed as he felt irritable as of the moment and trying to pack his things together. Luckily JIn already made a list last night.

And with that, all the things he needs to pack are all good to go. He sighed in relief as he thought that it will be really worrisome. He looked at the clock and it was already 05000 hrs he needs to get in uniform and head towards the station.

And he did that and reached the station he saw that there are no people and he looked at the time at the station and it was only 03300 hours. Jin's face was so exhausted but at least he was already done with all of the things he needed to pack. 

"Damn I forgot that Fang Shirong adjusted that stupid time clock last night because he wants to prank someone and that someone was me."

Jin looked so disrespected and looked down on the ground. But after that he smiled, ``I am going to miss those guys.`` And soon enough another guy was coming towards Jin's location. 

Same with the uniform and same rucksack the other candidate did not seat near Jin but rather stand up and tried to check the clock every 10 minutes. Jin was casually waiting for the station to fill up with Squad leaders from the remaining Square Squads.

But And when 04300 times Jin saw only a few Squad leaders. The remaining Squad leaders were only around 20 including him.

``20 Squad leaders. I cannot believe we are gone down a lot of squads from the start is this the reality of it. We are going to pass towards`` Jin clasp his hands and soon enough an officer in green uniform called out their attention.

"I want all of you to enter that warehouse. And to add if you fail here your squad will also fail their training and thus. You will be put to the support unit." 

Jin was not stunned or shocked by what the officer had just said due to because he knows that the High command is really doing its best to minimize casualties in the front lines so they are needing more time to put more quality people rather than quantity people on the ground.
