Chapter 4

  Year 2997   "Today, we will test your abilities for survival. There will be two teams with leaders. The goal is to reach the assigned area for each team. We will not provide any supplies for you guys so you have to trust your skills and skills alone."   "The team that will reach the designated area first wins. The assigned leader for the blue team is Krystal." Bae seunghyeon, Irene's father, hands the map to krystal's team with their assigned location.    "And the red team's leader will be Irene." Irene receives a map as well.    Each teams concsist of 6 members each including the leader.    "But there's a catch."    All heads turned to the Chief executive with anxious faces    "If you join the maps together you will notice that there's a wide area in between. In that area there are two buttons with your team's color. If you press button the with your assigned color, the training stops and your team wins automaticly. Those two buttons are closer than your assigned area from your teams starting point, but it's well hidden. The agency's record was 21 hours which was done by yours truly. If you beat my record, I will personaly reward the record breaker, team or solo."   "Before I forget to mention, you can only win if your team is complete, if you chose the longway around. Are we clear young agents?"    "Yes sir!"   "Good." Seunghyeon said firmly.    Everyone went to their members to discuss their strategy. Seunghyeon went to his daughter's side.    "Make daddy proud." He hugged Irene and the latter returned it.    "I will." She smiled to her father before he left.    ___   "May the best team win." Irene extended a hand to krystal for a friendly handshake with a smile plastered on her face.    "We already know which team is better. Save your energy on the training." Krytal said gesturing to Irene's extended hand.    Krystal disliked Irene not because the latter did something against her or anyone. She knows herself that Irene is a sweetheart. It's just that krystal feels jealous. She thinks that Irene made her way to the top trainees because she was the Bae's succesor and not becuase she has skills.    Irene's not a fool to be oblivious of it but she just tried to be as friendly as she can because she feels that she has the responsibility to understand her. A younger girl. A dongsaeng. She treats the agency like her family.    ___   The red team stands at their starting area. Irene notices the numbers '08' carv
