The prodigies

Yuan then left the building after the briefing. He went to make friends if possible and hear out and investigate the other potential recruits.

He breathed air as the wind was fresh. Hands on the waist. It was then, he saw a chair on the side and sat at it.

"Pst! Hey new guy, come here," He gestured his hands to go to him. He had eyeglasses and was having blond hair.

"Pardon me, I am Pete. I am an IT and Hacker. I know all of the infos of the students here! Wanna know their talents? I just hacked the database. Simple as that. So wanna see?" he asked while grinning.

"Yes," Yuan said.

"A man with few words, I am already liking you," he then opened his laptop to let Yuan see.

"The first on my list is Shin. A samurai and a ninja. He killed zombies far more than any of them. Hordes are a trifling matter to him.

"His ninja skills are also top notch. Killing many leaders is his thing in the past. A perfect killing machine and a perfect test subject for the experiment," She said then they clapped their hands.

"The next one is a world record holder. Having most world record titles in the current time. An all-star athlete that is acclaimed as the 'Pinnacle of humanity'.

"You can say he is a talented person and the title of most paid athlete of all time. The number one athlete of all time.

"All sports are his forte. Martial arts, Swimming, Sprint, Marathon, discus throw, Ball sports, anything," She said.

It was then, Yuan's mouths went agape. He didn't expect that the most famous athlete was here.

"Then next is a survivalist, trekker, and scavenger. Boy scout and the best at that. The youngest to climb Mount Everest in history.

"Trained to be a forest ranger someday. He lived in the woods for a year and survived. He went back to school but then, the plague started.

"He led his classmates and they survived. He was then scouted as the test subject after he was seen surviving the hordes without killing them. Outwitting them all in his escape," he added.

"Next is the genius inventor. Be it mechanical, robotics, Information technology, all engineering, he has that knowledge.

"Making him the prodigy scientist of all time. Physics, Biology, Chemistry, all are his specialities. Making him called 'Emperor of the mind'," he said.

They moved to another test subject.

"Next is the one-man army. Trained by Police and Scout Rangers at such a young age, he was the youngest to be assigned to the army as a special force.

"The elite amongst others even he was a kid. He was sent on missions and hasn't failed one. Being deployed in the middle east as a special operative.

"He also has the inspector talent of the Polices and their deadly martial arts Kali," he said to him.

"Well, that's all of our top notched ones. We should all move to our next student." he said.

"Hey, I forgot about the first one,"

"Our first and last to introduce is the special one.

"He can copy abilities while he is still in school. The greatest basketball player was copied and beaten by him.

"The greatest martial artist in the school was beaten by him. The archery student was trashed with his first try at using a bow.

"The greatest pitcher was shamed to compare himself with him. He is called none other than the Genius copycat!.

"His mind is also one thing as he has beaten the ones who had photographic memories in memorization. The absurdity is still backed with reality. He has his records in his school," he said to him.

"And he is sitting beside me! Such a coincidence right?" he mused.

"Ah, please don't. I am quite uncomfortable with such honors and such," Yuan said then scoffed.

"Well nice to meet you!" Pete said to him then offered his hands.

"Nice to meet you too," Yuan then took his hands and shook it.

It was then, Yuan was called by Islinda and she waved her hands at him.

"I gotta go," Yuan said to Pete.

"Sure, see you around." he then clicked his tongue and made pointing fingers at him with both hands.

Islinda then escorted him inside another building. She still held her tablet with her.

They walked towards the hallway and entered a room full of teens like him. One has a katana on his hands. Slashing left and right.

Other ones are wall climbing. Another one was practicing his martial arts. There was also a teen who was fidgeting his assault rifle. One was making a drone fly with a handheld monitor.

"Marlin, these are your colleagues. Meet Shin, he is a Samurai and is a trained ninja. He is a frightening one with their swords.

"And then, the one with the drones is John, a young mechanical engineer and a computer engineering student. An inventor and tinker surpassing his generation.

"And then, meet Eli, a survivalist, trekker, and scavenger. Boy Scout of the year they called him.

"Another one is Dice, an all-star athlete and a martial artist.

"And last is your odd one, he is Berts, trained since a kid on both Police and Ranger training. Your one-man army." She said to him.

"Everyone, meet Marlin. The newcomer. Like you all and one of the project of Last Hope," She said to them.

"What is he? What does he do?" Asked Shin.

"Well, he is the genius copycat, remember?" She said.

"Haha, just joking," Shin replied.

"What?" Marlin blurted out. It was an absurd title, he was getting his hairs rise up everytime he was called like that. And it was annoying on his part.

"I am sorry but it was over exaggerated. So I am just a normal junior high graduate. Pleased to meet you all. I hope you take good care of me," Yoan said then bowed.

They were scratching their heads as they heard him. Others want to inhale deep and close their eyes. Others were shaking their heads.
