Friday, 6:30 PM...

This the 2nd week of my training here in ISAC, we arrived on the island early. Parang kami-kami palang ulit yung tao. Sabi sakin ni Raiven, kapag nakababa na kami sa isla saka palang dadating yung ibang mga rookies. I just wish I get along well with them, kahit naman itago ko yung identidad ko sa kanila, malalaman at malalaman pa rin nila kung sino ako. Gaya nga ng sabi ni Lachlan, my identity can either be a good thing or a bad thing. But one thing is for sure, I won't use it to take advantage. And I'm aware they will treat me just like how they treat others, there are no exceptions. I asked Lachlan if they already found any lead, unluckily, wala pa rin. They can't open the file inside the USB that I gave them, at first I think it would be easy for them to open it but it seems like it needed some sort of code, they need to decode something first and that's what they working on.

Kasama ko ngayon si Raiven, Lachlan told me he will be with me for the rest of my training. So I guess I should get used to him, he looks nice, I feel like we'll get along well.

"Can I ask you for something?" tanong ko kay Raiven.

"Go on" tugon niya habang nagmamaneho papunta kami sa Training Camp.

"Can you gather information about all the gangs around our school" sambit ko sa kanya. "I think my friends and I received a threat from one of them yesterday, I don't want any trouble"

"Well, I'm not in charge with that but I'll let them know" pagpayag niya. "Ipapaalam ko agad sayo yung mga makukuha kong impormasyon" dagdag pa niya.

"Thank you" We're here...

"Just hold your bag, ngayon pa lang din lilipat yung mga rookies dito. Mamaya niyo pa lang malalaman kung saan yung mga kwarto niyo. Paparating na sila so you should just wait here" pagbibigay alam niya. We stop here in the field, they put up a big tent and a lot of chairs, it's so windy today but it's also sunny. I like the weather.

As I sit on the chair, a bunch of people walk towards this tent. They are all holding their own bag. Ang dami nila, at sa palagay ko sila na siguro yung mga rookies.

When they come near me, they bow and then find their own chairs. Napatayo ako at napa-bow din sa kanila.

"You're not an instructor?" tanong nang lalaki na katabi ng nag bow sakin. Napailing na lang ako.

"Bakit nauna ka dito?" tanong pa ng isang lalaki.

"Rookies! You may now sit down" agad silang napaupo sa mga upuan. It's Maze, napalingon kami lahat sa papalapit pang mga boss.

"Railey?" napalingon ako sa likod ko. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa tumawag sakin.

"Liam? What the hell are you doing here?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Ako dapat nagtatanong niyan, anong ginagawa mo dito?" here we go again, answering my question with question. He likes doing that even though he knows very well that I don't like that.

Napairap ako sa kanya"I asked you first" 

"From almost a hundred trainees down to 40. This is not what I expected but I guess we can do nothing about it. This level is a whole different level, you must survive and get a rank. At this level, we need a warrior, quitting is forbidden, you can rest, but you can never quit. Yes, we still have a ranking, but we don't have eliminations anymore. There are 3 things you need to learn on this island. To gain knowledge, trust, and teamwork we'll let you figure that out throughout this week. Today is the first day of your weekly task and challenges, Raven will explain your first task, so good luck" saad ni Khyler habang nakatayo sa harap. Lumapit si Raven sa pwesto nila Lachlan.
