"I want to survive in this world, and a normal citizen will not survive for long in this world."

Anik said to the colonel. The colonel gave a closer look at Anik and wrote his name and his room number on the selection paper and said Anik to run until he couldn't run anymore and if he didn't run even 20 laps with is 500 m each time, he will be unable to advanced in the selection process.

Following that, Anik started to run and after running 5 laps he started to breathe heavily, and he felt like his hand and leg were bind to 10 kg each weight. After completing 10 laps, started to feel his leg gonna fall like a jelly.

But he kept persisting and after completing 15 laps, he was completely on fumes. And finally, he completed the 20 lap challenge and immediately fell down in the middle of the running ground.

The colonel looked at Anik and then said to a soldier to pick him up and take him to the side of the track and right his name on the paper.

The soldier picks up Anik and carried him to the side of the track, plus Anik said thank you to him.

Next 30 minutes, Anik as well as other participants who pass stay near the track and rest there.

Meanwhile, he also made a new friend, whose name is Jonathan.

Jonathan was very friendly and was around his age as well. So, they hit it off easily.

"So Anik, did you get rescued today because I haven't seen you here before."

Jonathan said to Anik curiously.

"Yes, I just came to the camp today."

Anik said to him.

"What is the outside world like now?"

Jonathan asked Anik.

"It's like hell outside, you don't want to know"

Anik said to Jonathan.

"Then why are you trying to get back to that hell or trying to get there?"

Jonathan said to Anik.

"Uhh…uh, well it is the only way to learn new things about this new world and adapt to it. And what about you?

Anik said his reasons and asked him the same question.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"My reason is the same too. So, let's survive as long as we can in this world."

Jonathan said to Anik and Anik also nodded to his answer.

"Recruits now start your final challenge, and whoever wins a fight between the other opponent can be a soldier. Plus, they will be assigned as a guard of residence, patrolling guard, scavenge soldier, etc. according to their performance in the fight.

And if you want to get whatever position you want of the previous mentioned position, only one who can beat all the recruit today can choose that."

The colonel said to all the recruits who passed the first challenge.

The opponents were chosen randomly and Anik was going to fight after the 10 fight first.

The first fight started. Both The recruit started to punch and kick each other.

Then, suddenly, the small recruit hit the other in the balls and the tall recruit who was hit in the ball fell down, and the small recruit begins to hit the tall recruit in the face.

"Finished"

A soldier said, and the fight was other and small circuit won the match. Everyone looked at the colonel for answers and the colonel said that as long as no-one is inquired badly you can do whatever to win the fight. But if you badly injure someone and use any kind of weapons, you will be disqualified.

One by one, each fight ends and finally Anik turn came, and he goes to the fighting ground. The other recruit was around his age and was there standing against him. A soldier said to take their position. Then, someone was looking towards Anik from the medical center.

"Fight!!!"

The soldier said to us and immediately we both hit each other on the face.

"Ugh…"

We both groaned at the same time, but then my opponent suddenly tried to hit my balls but I immediately back up.

"So, no pair game?"

Anik said to the opponent.

"It's allowed, so I don't care."

The opponent said to Anik while running towards him.

Both were dodging and hitting each other, plus the opponent was landing more hit that Anik. Anik was struggling to keep up with the opponent.

"If I didn't do anything, I will lose. Come on think Anik think."

Anik thought to himself while dodging multiple attacks, but some hit him. Then suddenly, Anik has a flash of an idea.

' Aafia be my eye, while I will go full offensive.'

Anik said to Aafia.

[Ok Anik let's beat his ass.]

The opponent was next trying to hit the ball of Anik to end the fight because he was also feeling the fatigue caving in, but suddenly Anik ran towards him. The opponent tries to hit him, but he barely misses his head.

The opponent again attempts to hit him but fails again and Anik get success in hitting him. Without getting hit back.

[Anik from the top left towards the head]

Following that, Anik sidestep to the right and punches his opponent in his face. Then he hit his ball with his leg when the punch shocked the opponent.

The opponent fell down and immediately Anik was on the top and started punching him.

"Stop!! You win."

The soldier said to me.

He then goes towards Jonathan.

"Man you really won. I thought you would lose. But you have proven me wrong."

Jonathan said to Anik.

Yeah, me too I thought the same, but at last I won."

Aink said to Jonathan while thanking Aafia.

[Your welcome]

"Jonathan and Paul come forward."

The soldier said.

Jonathan said bye to Anik and went to the fighting ground.

After 10 minutes of fighting, Jonathan barely won the match.

"Yes!!"

Jonathan said very happily with a swollen face.

Finally, only 20 recruits get selected, with Anik included.

"Now, who wants to fight for the right to choose their desire professional area."

Everyone who won the fight rise and were
