Feranmi chuckled "I wouldn't call him my rival because I always beat him" Feranmi replied as she chuckled.

"Now to our last recruit, please introduce yourself" E said with a smile.

Of course, he had heard Commander Fredrick took Captain Pentecost to see a recruit. He had being stupefied by the news. Hearing about her from Frost and Tat had increased his curiosity. The moment he saw her in the black suit, something told him she was something.

She easily stood out from the rest of the girls. Her beauty was mesmerizing and he found it hard to take his eyes off her.

Feranmi's eyes scanned the crowd and found London and Frost seated admist the crowd. Feranmi mustered a big smile as she waved.

"Hello everyone, I'm 14, nice to meet you and I hope we all get along" Feranmi said with a smile.

Feranmi opened her eyes as her eyes flew to the digital clock beside her bed. Feranmi's eyes widened as she jumped out of bed.

"Holy shit!" Feranmi exclaimed as she shot out of bed. It was ten minutes to 5am.

"Girls! We are late!" Feranmi exclaimed as she hurried into the bathroom.

Moon and the others had scrambled out of their beds and were also rushing towards the bathroom.

Feranmi ran as fast as her legs could carry her towards the central hall. Her heart went up in her throat as soon as she saw Creek sitting on a chair and about six of the boys were already standing there.

Feranmi panted as the other girls ran inside the hall. Creek raised his head up and glanced at the panting girls.

"Its 5:24" Creek said.

Feranmi swallowed her saliva as she snuck a glance at him. He looked totally different from the day before. He looked friendly the day before but seating lazily in his car, he was looked anything but friendly.

"You guys go get your phones debugged" Creek said to the guys who came earlier as he stood up.

"The rest of you, follow me" Creek said as walked away.

"Where are we going?" PH asked.

"Your hometown" Feranmi replied as the girls burst into laughter.

Creek chuckled when he heard Feranmi's reply. They soon arrived at a large field.

"Whoa!" Moon said.

"How big is this place?" PH asked no one in particular.

"Each and everyone of you, carry those bag of stones and run around the field fifteen times" Creek said as the girls turned to him in horror.

"Sub captain Creek, isn't fifteen too much?" Feranmi asked wincing.

"Twenty times" Creek said without battling an eyelid. Feranmi's eyes widened as the guys who came late carried their bags of stones.

Feranmi pursed her lips as she carried the bag of stones on her back. She staggered as she cursed silently. The bag was extremely heavy. Feranmi started jogging round the field.

After one round, all of them knew what they were up to. The field was relatively large and could be compared to a standard field used for Olympics and competitions.

A guy by the codename, Olympia was leading in the front, Robin Hood followed. Feranmi had snickered when one of the guys said his code name was Robin Hood. Moon was following as she was panting harshly.

Feranmi jogged up to the guy trying not to fall as he jogged.

"Hello Sodium" Feranmi said with a smile.

Sodium glanced at Feranmi before rolling his eyes.

"14, I'm sure you are aware we are in dire straits now, let's get finished with this. I don't have time for you" Sodium replied.

"This is why you can never beat me" Feranmi said as she jogged past him.

By the time they were turning for the third time. Robin hood was first, Moon was second and Feranmi was third. The other guys had come back and they had being asked to jog five times round the field without carrying a bag of stone.

Feranmi felt her chest constrict as she jogged. Her suit was wet with sweat and she was could barely breathe normally.

This is hell.

"Hang in there, we still have a long way to go" Moon murmured and Feranmi nodded her head. They were still going to twenty. Feranmi regretted telling Creek, fifteen was too much.

As they turned for the fifth round, Crest who had being lagging behind fell down.

The girls cried out in panic as they rushed to her.

"Everyone continued jogging" Creek's voice could be heard on the field. Everywhere was brighter as the girls pursed their lips and continued jogging. Crest managed to stand up but the weigh of the stones pulled her down again.

Everyone was extremely slow now as they were all immensely tired.

"Should we ask Sub Captain Creek for water?" Rohin hood asked.

"Don't you dare" Feranmi bellowed as she increased her pace and left the rest behind.

"If anybody manages to reach ten rounds, you can stop" Creek said his voice laced with sarcasm.

Feranmi glared at him in anger as she continued jogging. Some of the S. T. Ss had gathered to watch the new recruits train. Most of them were laughing and pointing.

Feranmi growled as she tried to increase her pace but her energy had been expended. She slowed down scared of falling down or tripping. Feranmi's legs slowed down as she tried to move faster, it was becoming hard to breath as her lungs felt congested.

"Is that her? Seems like her head is just full, her stamina is a waste" someone said and Feranmi snapped her eyes open in anger.

Her eyes found the girl who made the comment in the small crowd of people standing by the field.

Feranmi snickered as she continued jogging. She must finish the twenty laps today and until she fainted, she wouldn't stop moving her legs.

Mimi fell down as she turned for the tenth lap leaving Sodium, Moon and Feranmi on the track. Everybody else had fallen down and even PH was carried to only-God-knows-where.

Feranmi didn't stop after the tenth lap surprising everyone. Moon had collapsed immediately she finished the tenth lap while Sodium fell along the way. Feranmi fell her legs go numb and they moved on their own.

She couldn't feel them but she knew she was moving. She seemed to have reached her limit but Feranmi kept pushing herself.

Just a round more.

Feranmi told herself as her steps became slower and slower and she almost tripped but she quickly caught herself and continued moving. Energy expended, feeling numb, Feranmi didn't know what kept her moving. The bag of stones on her back seemed weightless at the moment too.

Feranmi suddenly fell down and gasps could be heard from the crowd. Feranmi tried to stand up but her legs gave way making her fall again. Feranmi tried to breath as she tried to stand on her feet. Her feet were shaking visibly as Feranmi took a step and fell down.

She stood up again and took another step and fell down. She stood up yet again and took two steps before falling to the ground.

The scene left the crowd stunned as they watched the repeated process until Feranmi got to the finish line. Her legs gave way and the world went blank.

Somewhere in the headquarters of N. T. S. S

"I didn't know she was that determined" Fredrick said.

"Apple's words obviously triggered her" Babby said with a look of acceptance in his eyes.

"Who fell first?" Fredrick asked.

"Crest" Babby asked.

"G. Fash's daughter?" Fredrick asked.

"Yeah. Actually I wanted to tell you the physical training would only make her more weak. She's better off at the tech or survillance" Babby replied.

"Is that so?" Fredrick asked uninterested.

"When the brought the girls phones to be anti-bugged, her phone was anti-bugged already. Tat couldn't break the firewall, E couldn't break it either. He had to bring it to Frost and Frost claimed it was am high tech firewall that took him an hour to crack" Babby added as Fredrick's eyes widened in surprise.

"An hour for Frost?" Fredrick asked.

"Yes. He went to find Eyes. Eyes claimed the  firewall looked familiar, it was the type Blue used, and it was as if Blue herself installed it" Babby replied.

"Blue the hacker?" Fredrick asked in disbelief.

"Yes and somehow all the necessary information concerning her online were all mysteriously concealed, even the amount of pictures were concealed and carefully put in place" Babby said as Fredrick smiled and his hands ran over his keyboard.

"We got huge fishes this time around" Fredrick said as different pictures loaded on his computer.
