A organisation created a special school, where they would give the Training to the teenagers, training related to security work. The school on the base was more like a military school or special forces training center.
They would pay the security firms to be representative of such academy and thus they would choose special students as Thier workers through it.
Once living happily in America, Ethan's mother— who was married to a japanese immigrant living in America—shifted in japan with his father due to increasing crimes in US. She worked in small jobs and factory before building a small cafe of her own. His father was japense so he had no issues but Ethan.....
Ethan was 8 year old when they shifted and in new environment, he failed to adapt. Thus his entire life, he was very dependent on his mother and father for emotional connection.
*Presen*
Ethan now 17 was sleeping soundly and deeply. A little too deeply for his sake, as it was already 8:40 and he had exam at 9:00. For past few years, he is trying to get in the special forces organisation.
A very surprising dream for such shy person but the origin of dream was his father. Who passed through same school and protected many lives as a security consultant before going missing suddenly.
"Wake up sweetheart, you have the entrance exam!" Said Ethan's mother,Rosary. After a pause she entered his room,her warm red hair a striking mirror to Ethan's own Red hair. A smile appeared on her face before she pulled him up by his cheek
"Wake up or you'll miss your exam...again"
His eyes opened "morning " he said in groogy voice. His eyelashes heavy and his body so lazy to get up until he checked the alarm clock
Time:-8:42 am
"Shit, exam's at 9:00" a panic came up. His mind did the most immediate calculation it could ,lucky for him he lived just ten minutes away from exam center. But the gates can close anytime.
He jumped off his bed and ran towards bathroom for quick break."don't slip on tiles" said rosary, who was already going back downstairs. Leaving him to his work
The cold water hit his slim face , he ran a hand over his short hair, which needs no comb. He did quick gargle and he was ready to leave.
He opened the door of his room, Ran through hallway and jumped all the way off the stairs. Ready for a quick run all over to exam center
Thud—bump, bump—crash.
"Did you fell off stairs again, Ethan?" His mother, Rosary calls out from kitchen, she walks out from kitchen to check on him and sighs "are you fine?"
He sat up instantly, eyes watering. "i didn't fell... just a ride down the stairs "
Ethan didn't had time to cry, nor to eat breakfast. He picked up his backpack and ran out of home. He was hopping like kangaroo since his back was screaming in agony.
Rosary sighs "he wants to become saviour like his father. Oh dear, I wish you was here to put some sense in him."
Ethan ran through streets. He bumped into two office workers. A Grandpa who made him do ten situps as punishment . Soon Ethan was about to reach the gate and as soon as the smile appeared on his face, it wasn't so long time for it to disappear.
The security guard who was watching Ethan run all the way from corner of street, that gaurd waited for Ethan to be ten feet within reach just to shut the gate on his face.
*Clang*
Gate now shut just next to Ethan face was ultimate disrecpect. He looked at gate, he then looked around to see bunch of passing by holding back smirks.
this year. Ethan missed his exam again. A feeling of utter shame and embarrassment coursed through him
Ethan now feeling down, needed a place of solitude. Right now he wanted to be somewhere where no one could. And while thinking of such place he was heading to park already. Knowing it would be empty this time since kids are in school.
Upon reaching the park, Ethan noticed a man wearing white hoodie, black trousers and white sneakers. Perfect combo of black and white, whooping ass of three boys.
As matter of fact, that guy was asking for money. While wearing the clothes more expensive than those boys are worth. Boys obviously beaten too well to argue didn't waited to pull thier purses out.
Ethan knew it was time to run situation and he almost does pulled the ,I am going away move until the thought of leaving em alone stinged through his heart.
Ethan remembers how he used to watch the show of legendary Hero. "THE LEADER" one of most memed anime about a killer who save. Such stupid concept made people mock it, but for Ethan. That show was the symbol of heroism.
Ethan now motivated with his hero bravery spoke up. Though his words didn't even reached the man in the white hoodie.
"Hey!!!!" Ethan shouted, though he feels now at lose of words. Now that he knew nothing about how to fight.
The man turned around " huh?"
Before Ethan could see his face properly, a smashing pain coursed on the back of his head. Like someone stucked him with a metal rode. And the felt the hard ground as he fell unconscious. Last thing he remembers is the man walking towards him.
When he woke up he was in hospital. Ethan tried to get up but a pain ran through back of his head "Ouch, my head "
"Ethan! My boy" Rosary who was sitting on chair walked over. "Is your head fine? I should get doctor"
"I am fine, I am fine." Ethan mutters. Nurse walks in "you are awake? Stay like that." She changes the IV. "Alright, luckily the injury wasn't crucial. Here are some medicines, eat em after you have eaten something"
Nurse exists. Leaving Rosary with Ethan. She strokes his cheek with her thumb "I was so scared. You was unconscious for so long. Local found you laying in park, bleeding. When I heard, i felt like someone ripped out my heart. It was beating so fast that i would have fainted." She was speaking so fast to process so quickly, maybe because she is emotional.
"I am fine mother, I am fine."
Rosary wipes her eyes with her handkerchief and says "anyways. I have a good news, you passed the test?"
"What?"
"Test! I can't believe. Result usually comes after 24 hours but you scored full in both physical and written tests. And they sent us letter straight ahead"
She handed him the letter, he opens it to found the message written inside.

Ethan sat stunned at the reveal, since he never even appeared at exam at first place.
