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."
