Seek for cooperation.

"Everyone, what is our slogan" an aggressive voice rang out.

"Ready to contribute country" a mixed voice rang out loudly.

"We say"

"Learn by heart and practice hard"

"So what are we"

"We are the future of country"

"let's start the activity today" the commander pointed to the classroom.

Everyone rushed hastily because they were told doing this can save much time. Excepting me, I took my time walking slowly. After all, what is difference learning in 2s or 5s.

"Jean, what is with that attitude. The enemy won't wait for you to complete. After this, learn 10 weapon blueprint for me." the commander shouted at my ears which made my ears deaf for short period.

I paid no care about this since it became daily for me and also no violence here so I wasn't fear by him.

I sat on the chair and then commander entered through the door.

"You slut, slut soldier" hearing abuse words also became norm here. Everyone took it serious excepting me. I just merely enjoyed learning blueprint here.

"You see my left eye" he pointed to his left eye which was damaged in the war.

"The enemy won't show mercy to you. I'm lucky because I strangled that enemy to death." he slammed his fist on table.

"Like a wig" he demonstrated with action.

'Even you say so, they won't understand' I thought.

"You're all lucky lad here. Because you are chosen by government to experience what we have experienced."

'I once thought this is a honor but regret now'

There silence developed in the room.

"Enough for today, we must save time so we have to learn now"

The commander drew something on board.

"This is a complete blueprint of Mark-1 which helps our country defend against enemy so tell me how to make the core for Mark-1" he used ruler point at the center of the draw.

"No one"

There was an awkward silence.

"Fine. I will pick someone." his eyes wandered around the classroom.

Until his eyes stopped at me.

"Jean, tell me the principle of the core"

I stood up but couldn't answer that because that is a new knowledge will be learnt today.

So my mind was empty when looking at the sketch.

"You didn't prepare for today. Everyone listen. Preparation is important because they don't wait for you. You must predict their move."

'Today lesson learns new thing. Why I need to prepare when learning new knowledge.' I knelt inside my head.

"You draw this 100 times for me. I will check it next week. I will explain this for you guys so listen carefully" he stressed the last word for everyone.

I cried inwardly while maintaining poker face outside.

'Calm down my heart. There will be a chance to avenge him' Unbeknown to me at that time, there will be no a chance.

He started to explain it in detail but I just looked straight at the core. Inside me had some feelings but I couldn't describe what exactly that feeling.

I looked at the draw just as I stared at the abyss. My eyes were locked on it.

….

….

"Uhm" my sight was fuzzy now. What facing me was a white ceiling with a lamp turned on.

I raised my hand to see. There was a strange metal triangular object engraved into my arm. That is called bio-microchip according to my old world.

"To dream again that place" I looked at my arm.

"Maybe that is both bless and curse" I stood up clumsily. What caught my eyes was the floor and table was tainted with my blood. I remembered that I was at last period which engraved chip into my chest. It very hurt that made me pass out after done this.

Then I started to exam my body. My legs, arms, chest all had microchips.

"That's all for first step. The second step will be creating armor" I sat down on the chair.

My hand twitched because it didn't adjust to this wound yet.

"Now it's going to be very hard from now since it requires more rare materials and more high technology." The only person I know that have the most influence here must be Saya's father.

Since Saya's father was a commander in this place, I must ask him for further material. It will be a win - win situation if I manage to grab some high technology.

I started to formulate the plan in my head. Suddenly there was a knock behind me.

"Jean, my father will arrive in few minutes. Will you go and meet him" her voice was soft. It seemed like she learnt one or two things from previous situation.

"Okay, wait me to adjust outfit. You go first" I started to bandage around the microchip to hide it from everyone.

"Okay, meet at the yard."

"ok"

I had to clean all this mess before anyone realized it.

I spent 5 minutes cleaning all mess.

"I must win his favour" I changed my clothes.

"For survival" I raised with my clenched hand.

"Hope he is genial" I encouraged my spirit.

And with that, I went out my workshop.

I didn't need to go the yard to welcome his arrival. I just watched from balcony.

From afar, I could see the group of black vehicles coming this way.

The vehicles stopped right after passing the door.

The person stepped out having a stern face. I guessed he must be Saya's father.

He looked like he is going to the some speech.

"This man's name is Doitetsu Tarou. He has been a friend to me for the last 25 years" he said with clear and loud voice.

"It was an act of self-sacrifice. This is the most noble thing a person could hope to do"

There was a short stop in his talking.

"However … he is no longer human. His life turned into this abominable thing"

"And so now. I will demonstrate my friendship"

Ending his speech, the crate was opened. The zombie inside dashed outside.

With one slash, he cut the zombie's head.

"Interesting" I said out unconsciously.

He seemed to be competent leader. This action raised spirit for people. I could see the face of my friends was blenched when seeing this scene.

'I thought you guys do the same to zombies' this was the only think coming out from my head.

Anyway, Saya's father proved me that we can cooperate. His action did indeed right at the moment but he chooses wrong time to do it. He showed this can buff people's moral but also made people displeased with this.

"Hope, they don't start a coup at this time" I muttered.

After all this is about human, there is always two side when mentioning human. That is why human's unity is fragile.

"You want to meet my father. Right" without looking back, I can be sure that was Saya.

"Yes" the corner of my mouth raised into the smile.

I followed Saya unti I met Kohta was surrounded by group of people. And also my friends was also there to support him.

"How funny" I snorted.

What I saw funny here is the adults forced Kohta to give guns. It was obviously to see this. What they don't know is Kohta is the best master using gun in this mansion.

Saya stepped hastily to Kohta.

"He may be a freak and a worthless gun otaku"

"But it's him that he's been protecting me, unlike you, father" Saya shouted out to protect her friend's pride.

'Look like you are mature.' Undoubtedly, her action gained Kohta's trust.

But I don't have much time to discuss.

"Pardon me" I cough out lightly.

All attention was paid on me.

"I think my daughter right. Sometimes you have to leave her so that she can mature" I expressed my idea.

"You are"

"Your daughter's friend. I have watched her mature in journey."

There was a person coming to whisper something to Ms. Takagi. His serious was increased.

"In one condition. If you speak with them, my daughter, I will know you are not a fool"

"Saya, your mother is asking as well. Those people would be too careful about what they say if your father and I were to go" Saya's mother added.

"I will go with her"

"I go too"

"Me too"

A bunch of support from her friends.

Me. No. I would rather talking to your father. Talking those bumpkin make my brain lose sanity. They didn't even accept the reality then how I was going to talk to them. Waste of time.

"Ms. Takagi. If you have time, can we talk something" I reminded him.

"Oh right, father. She want to discuss with you for long term cooperation" Saya added before going.

He was looking at me with sharp eyes. His aura surely dominated me.

"Follow me" he turned back and began to go.

I followed him to his work room.

….

….

"So what you want to say." I sat on the chair and observed me.

"Where is my manner. First I will introduce myself" I stood beside the chair. I won't sit until he gave me permission. This shows my respect for him.

"My name is Jean Sophia. Learning at same school with your children" there is nothing out of place in my introduction. Until …

"Actually, I was secret agent working for Japan government from very young" this is the boldest lie that I have ever made.

"I was trained to cope with all bad situation that can happen to this country." I said with poker face.

"You want to joke with me" his vein bulged on his forehead. His appearance alone intimidated me.

"With all due my respect, I don't have gut to do that" I smiled dauntlessly.

"Where is your evidence" he looked at me with eyes of predator.

But I didn't flinch before this. To access the best service here, I must go even far than this.

"Maybe I don't have evidence but I have something that I can prove my point"

I used my hand taking something out from my pocket.

"You realized this" his eyes focused on object that I showed him.

What I showed him is bullet. The most valuable thing at the moment.

His expression didn't change slightly. That wasn't my ace card here but this.

From my bag, I took out the strange gun.

"What do you mean by that" Although he didn't show his expression, I could tell that he was hooked by this.

"This is a rife named Rounder-97. It fires with 25 bullets with each mag and don't get stuck when firing at high speed. Damage is very high" I explained the information this weapon.

I knew only bullet alone can't make him interesting so I decided to make this gun.

"Although you refer sword than gun but you could tell how good this is, right"

I could see the corner of his mouth raising into smile.

"So then what is your point"

"I literally can create bullet and gun if I want. The point I want to say here … I want to cooperate with you"

"You want to cooperate with me" Somehow this made him smile.

"Yes. Now the world is in danger. Why don't we make the best shelter for human"

"Hahaha…" he laughed out loud.

'Did I win his curiosity?' I shivered inwardly.

"You sure have big ambition. Why did you choose me" he signed for me to sit down on that chair.

I sat down and looked straight at his eyes.

"Because I saw you very good at dealing this. You are the most competent and insight leader for now" I bragged his achievement. Hopeful this works. But it wasn't a lie.

"Good. Very good" he stood up.

"Sorry for my daughter being burden" he started walking around.

"I don't mind. Your daughter are more mature than you think" I beamed with him.

"You know, secret agent, why you choose to live normal life" he picked the book on bookshelf.

"Uhm" this question made me remember the past.

I inhaled a deep breath.

"Maybe I want to know what is felt when living in normal life"

That is my original goal. My curiosity to compare between special system approved by government and normal school life.

"Impressive. What is your plan for now"

"For now, I will coordinate with you"

Suddenly, something caught my eyes.

My eyes was staring behind Souichiro Takagi.

"uhm. Can I take a look at" I pointed the shiny thing on bookshelf.

I cough lightly

"Your cool machine. I am very interested in technology"

"Sure thing." this was out of my expectation.

"This is the cutting-edge technology that we have invested before this" he placed 3 objects on table.

"The project named super soldier that was led by profession Lee" he introduced the story behind.

"He was hailed from America. He is a prodigy of mechanical engineering genius. At the age of 6, he created arc reaction shocking the world. At 20, he took over his father's company and launched a big project."

"His ambition are sure big but his project was failed. And this is the last of it" From his talk, I could tell that he was somewhat sad.

"He poured a lot of money but it didn't succeed. In the end, his company went bankrupt. He disappeared in public from then" I examined three mechanic parts on table.

From the way it was created, I could say that he is indeed genius.

"There is a lot of rumor why he failed but we needn't go that far"

I also agreed with this. What had happened can't change it. But still, to lose such a genius like this.

I am from the advanced social. To be more simple, I am from future. So I realized what those are.

There are Arc reactor, Reactive circuits and nano-shield. All parts I need in here, before my eyes.

If he continues the research, surely he will become the most influent person in world. I begged my life for this assessment.

His work just missed some parts. I can correct and innovate it.

"What interesting story. Can I take all these" I became greedy when seeing those.

"With one conditions"

"State it" I replied gently.

"You will produce bullet and gun for me"

"Can I change the deal little bit"

He indicated me to continue.

"I produce only gun but I can teach you the procedure to produce bullet in exchange. But the material will be provide by you"

"How it sounds. 5 guns for a week. Not bad for apocalypse" I gave a hand.

"Hahaha, you are being too greedy. I admire your ambition. I agree with you deal" he accepted my hand shake.

With that, I and Saya's father will make this become the best shelter ever.
