The batch.

Gin opens the door, and looks at his batch.

There was a man with black hair and a black coat, turning over to Gin.

?????: Who are you.

Gin: My name is Gin-Taro, I-I believe I was assigned to this batch?

Razor: Well, my name is Razor, since you've been assigned to our batch, I suppose you want to meet the others?

Gin: There are others?

Razor: a batch consists of 4 people, we all have to take tests and exams that qualify us to join the authority, so we aren't in the Authority's army yet...

Gin: Can I meet the others?

Razor: Sure, follow me.

Razors walks over to the lounge where everyone was waiting for their exam, Gin finds a white haired girl, she seemed anxious and looked really clean, next to her was a guy who was tapping his foot over and over again, he seemed... impatient.

Razor: that girl over there is Olivia Sinheart, of the Sinheart clan, she is a first class noble.

Gin is really, astonished that such a high class member is joining the army.

Gin: A-And the other guy?

Razor: That's Ansu of the middle class, he is powerful, but he isn't really special from your average joe.

Gin: What about you?

Razor: I'm Razor Shogun, of the Shogun clan, I'm a middle class.

Gin: You make it sound like your clan is special, but you are middle class?

Razor: Not every clan is on the first class, some clans are and aren't, depending on their status.

Olivia: Ugh, I already have to deal with this stench of a middle class, now I have to deal with a disgusting third class?

Ansu: We aren't dirty people. Besides, we get by even without daddy's money.

Olivia: Hey, I'm talking about the third class, his stench is making me nauseating.

Gin: W-What's going on?

Razor: they are just arguing. You can kindly ignore it and take a seat.

Gin ignores their arguing, and sits down, noticing Olivia and Razor both have a sword on their waist, Gin gets really amazed and attempts to grab Olivia's sword.

Olivia: Ew ew ew! it's getting closer to me!

Olivia quickly kicked Gin in the jaw, Gin falls back on his head

Gin: Ah! why did you do that?

Olivia: You were getting too close! w-what do you want from me?

Gin: I wanted to check your sword out, it looks really awesome! I've never used one...

Olivia: Then you could've just, asked... you know?

Gin: W-Well... can I try-

Olivia: No, simply because you tried to take it without permission, and I'm not willing to teach a peasant some manners, I don't have time for that.

Gin: This girl is making me mad...

Gin says to Razor, Razor sighs and tries to reassure Gin.

Razor: Its not that bad.

Olivia: Razor! can you switch seats with Ansu? I can't stand him.

Ansu: I'm getting mad too...

Gin: Why would you want to sit with Razor? he's middle class as well.

Olivia: Razor is of the Shogun clan, which is related to my clan, so we are kinda related by blood, of course I'd have to explain it to a peanut brain.

An official opens the door to the test rooms.

Official: Morning everyone, you are batch 3 of the Authority's recruits, you may enter your test rooms, we will first begin with the physical test.

Everyone enters the room, where 4 dummies stand side to the side of each other, having notable distance, there is a meter for every dummy, which will measure your strength.

Official: here is where you'll be tested, everyone take a dummy.

Olivia: I want to be as farthest as possible from that disgusting third class...

Gin: Me too!

Time-skip to the end of all the tests, everyone goes back to the lounge, and their results are given, Gin, Razor and Ansu have passed the physical test, Gin having the highest score, while Olivia has failed the physical test, along with the agility test, Gin, Razor and Ansu have passed, while Olivia barely passed the agility test, and the reaction test, Gin and Razor have passed, while Ansu and Olivia failed, and regarding the written test, Olivia has passed with flying colors, having a perfect score, while for the others, they haven't scored really good, Gin having the lowest score and failing the written test.

Olivia: I-I failed??

Gin: Well I've passed!

Razor: Me too.

Ansu: Same here.

Olivia is dumb founded and shocked, her eyes feel very dizzy and she can't process this.

Official: Seems like 3 of you have passed the initial tests, Gin, Razor and Ansu.

Olivia: W-What about me?

Official: You have a perfect score in the written test, but your physical attributes just, don't match what we are looking you, for are really smart, but we are looking for brans and brains here in the Authority.

Olivia: S-So you are failing me but you are passing these under average people?

Official: Yes, they have shown and proved that their strength is exceeding what we were even looking for, and Gin here is a special case.

Olivia: B-But I'm of the Sinheart clan! does status not matter to you people?

Official: While status and privileged people matter, we are still looking for what's best for the Authority, this is not an easy choice.

Olivia: Well it certainly was! ugh I'll have my father shut down this whole batch if you don't pass me!

Official: W-We really don't want to go there Miss Olivia...

Olivia: Well you are pushing me to it, it's either you pass me or I'll tell my father about this!

Gin, Razor and Ansu are all in a state of shock that she would resolve to this.

Ansu: Whispers So much for royalty am I right...

Olivia: I heard that!

Official: Look, we will... try to make it work, I-I mean desperate times call for desperate measures.

Olivia: That's what I'd like to hear.

Gin: I'm not even going to question this...

Olivia: You better not, peasant. And since we all passed the initial tests, should we start discussing which sector we are choosing?

Ansu: Only 3 of us passed...

Gin: Ansu, you don't have to be mean.

Olivia: I've had it with you peasants!

Olivia gets really angry and drew her blade, Gin notices, so does Ansu and they all get in a fighting position as Olivia approached with her blade. Everyone seems ready to clash.
