<< Love and War - Fleurie >>
The underground training hall of the Zone 2 military academy had changed little over the years since Till, Kit and Noah had graduated at the age of 18.
The open space beneath the ancient building still encompassed over half the entire circumference of the academy above it, with illuminated white panelling covering the floors, walls and ceiling. Yet, in place of the array of weaponry that had previously hung against these walls, now there stood a line of podiums with a VR headset atop each one, as well as a single VR capsule at one end of the hall, and four figures, masked and clad all in black to the other.
The VR equipment had been transported from the Helsing compound for the event, to ensure that no prior academy student could alter or manipulate the simulations beforehand, with each potential recruit to be called in one after another to undertake the first test without the advantage of seeing any of the previous applicants' attempts.
