In the past, wars are everywhere and even now, it still exist.
War is nearby. War is everywhere. Thinking that war can be stopped is truly naive but having that way of thinking probably has its own perks too. Having that thought in mind, the government decided to build a Military Academy. Philippines was the first country to build that academy since they lack military power. Other countries observed if it will go well or not and unexpectedly, the project was a success. Countries all over the world, first started experimenting by adding it in their electives. Those who took those as their classes, did better in the field and had a higher percentage of surviving. At first, the United States didn't act but because of the fear that weak countries would betray and surpass them, they joined in too for the sake of keeping the countries in check and also for the competition.
Philippines built the very first academy, second is Japan. Both countries are good for training because of its climate and terrain. The only problem was that in the Philippines, there is no such thing as snow and that was where they lack. Since other countries come and go to different places to train, they proposed to go International for the sake of the speed in transferring and lowering the cost. There are three (Main) International Military Academy and those are located in Canada, Japan, and Philippines.

Country: Japan
Location: IMA --> Chairman's Office
[POV: Ayumu]
"What do you mean by that, Chairman? Why do I have to go?", Ayumu replied angrily.
"Why are you against by the idea of being a transfer student? It's not like you'll spend the rest of your life there. Also, having a change of scenery would help improve your adaptability.", said the Chairman.
Ayumu sighed. "Why do I have to go? Is it because of my grades? My performance? I will improve it immediately if that is the case.", she replied calmly.
The chairman showed her a file. The file contains picture of Japanese Military Students. "Nishino-san, do you recognize some of this students?"
"Yes. They are the students who went missing. Hmmm.. Some of them transferred to the... Philippines?", having the conclusion that Philippines was behind the people who went missing, she had a horrible expression in her face.
The chairman quickly replied, "What you're thinking is wrong, Nishino-san. Well, at first I thought that way too but they had the other people found and those students are now under rehabilitation. They also asked us for help. It seems that they are also missing some people within and outside their country."
"So, you want me to investigate?", Ayumu said with a troubled face.
"Yes. But don't worry, I asked them to help you. Though I don't have any idea how many are assisting you. Anyway, I want you to investigate who are missing and who are the people that kidnapped them. Keep your profile low and don't cause trouble as much as possible. Also, your uniform will be replaced."
"Why does it need to be replaced? I think it's fine the way it is.", Ayumu replied with a confused expression.
"I forgot that this is your first time going overseas. When you transfer overseas, you will have the same uniform as them and you will receive a pin that has the symbol of the country where you came from.", the chairman replied and gave her new uniform and pin, "Pack your things. Tomorrow will be your flight. Good Luck, Nishino-san."
"Yes.", Ayumu replied and opened the door. Before she closes the door, she looked at the Chairman and said, "Say, can you do me a favor, sir?"
"It depends on what you are asking." the chairman looked at Ayumu.
"Can you send some of my friends to the Philippines? When the time comes, I might need a back-up."
"Alright. I will send someone but I won't promise that it will be your friend. If you need someone to aid you, it will be the one who is in par with you. If you are having trouble, I will send them to you."
"Thanks!", Ayumu left the room and became cheery for a bit.

Country: Philippines
Location: IMA --> Airport
[POV: Ayumu]
Ayumu waited for the teacher that will pick her up. She roamed around the airport for a bit and returned. She saw someone near her luggage and she approached the woman, "Excuse me but, are you the teacher that's supposed to pick me up?"
The woman replied, "Yes. I apologize if I'm late. Something came up in the school. Please follow me. We'll ride the jeep to the school.", she grabbed the student's luggage and both of them went inside the vehicle.
Inside the vehicle, Ayumu was tensed as she feels like everything is going too fast. "Um, if you won't mind, can I ask you something?", Ayumu started the conversation and it took her a lot of courage to talk.
"Yes, please ask me as much as possible. Also, please relax. I won't eat you.", said the woman and chuckled.
Ayumu felt relieved, "Then, can you first tell me your name?"
The woman looked surprised for a bit and smile, "My name is Joan Mendoza. I am the adviser of your class."
"I see.", she held out her hand, "I am Nishino Ayumu. My surname is Nishino and my first name is Ayumu. I heard that the rule of names in each country is different."
Joan took her hand and shook it. "I'm impressed by your knowledge.", she lets go of her hand.
"The chairman said that there will be someone who will help me in the investigation about the missing people. Are you the one?" she asked.
Joan had a surprised look in her face. "Does it mean that you don't know who you will be working with? This will prove troublesome.", she reached for her pocket and brought out her cellphone.
"Um, troublesome? Me?", Ayumu said with a nervous, annoyed, and irritated voice.
"Apologies. That's not what I meant. I said a while ago that something came up in the school that is why I was late, correct? Your partner is associated with that 'something'. We thought you already knew who it was." Joan messaged someone in her cellphone and a few minutes later, she received a reply. "It seems that you will be able to meet her in your dorm."
"I understand. I also apologize for what I said earlier. This is actually my first time studying in a different country so please correct me if I did something wrong." says Ayumu in a serious manner.
"Don't worry about it. I'll give you one advice. As much as possible, show respect. Well, when it comes to your partner, you can shout at her but be polite sometimes. We, Filipinos, are understanding but, if you cross a line that you shouldn't, guess what the two most common things happen.", says the adviser in order to tease her.
Ayumu became very nervous and she said in a weak voice, "Umm, if I have to guess Ignored and Bullied?"
Joan laughed, "Ignored and bullied? I don't think so. Is that common in Japan?"
Confused, she replied "In some schools, yes. Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing, really. It's just that you're too serious. Anyway, what happens is that well, you are some times ignored but if you apologize, they will probably forgive you. The other one is that they will tell you about your past. Again, please be understanding and don't give out secrets so easily. Anyway, we are near the school. Please prepare yourself. Another advice, if something happens, no matter what follow me.
Ayumu replied, "Yes.."

[POV: Ayumu]
The vehicle stopped. "It seems that I dozed off. That was unsightly." she thought to herself.
"Ah! It looks like you are awake, yes? Anyway, we are here." Joan exited the vehicle and opened the trunk to get the luggage out.
I also exited the vehicle and closed its the door. "Thank you for getting my bag out. I apologize if I slept, even though we're near the school."
"It's alright. It's actually quite a relief for me if you slept. Things will be a little hectic for you, most likely when she is your partner. Follow me please." Joan took the luggage and entered the dorm. The teacher and I both filled the paperwork and a student ID and a key, probably for my room, was given to me. The both of us headed to my room.
"Um, can you tell me who my partner is? I'm kind of interested since you are only referring to her as 'she' and 'her'." Ayumu, again, started the conversation.
"Well, she did told me to give you little information so I guess. Your partner's name is Selina Lopez. She one of the best student in this country, so of course she is popular and respected. Others consider her as a rival too, within or outside the country. Also, your partner is her only. Well, there are other people who will help you too in your investigation but, we prefer to do it by pairs for the time being so that you could deepen your relationship. Does that answer your question?" Joan said casually.
"Uh, yes it does. Wait, Lopez kind of ring a bell." Ayumu thought about it and remembered, "Lopez? As in Lopez, the family that created the IMA?"
"Yes. I'll give you an advice though. Ms. Lopez doesn't like being respected because she is from that family, okay? Well, she has her circumstances so I think it's better to ask her herself."
"I understand." Ayumu kept quiet after the conversation died down. Joan stopped and looked at the door.
"We are here. I wish you good luck. Last thing I want to say to you, please do bear with her and I apologize in her stead." Joan left quickly and Ayumu was left with those confusing words.
She decided to knock on the door but before she had done so, the door was opened.

Country: Philippines
Location: IMA Dorm ---> Ayumu and Selina's room
[POV: Ayumu]
The door was opened by a girl. She asked me if I was Ayumu and I told her yes. She let me inside the room. I was speechless.
"My name is Selina Lopez. Well, nice to meet you, Nishino Ayumu-san." she held out her hand.
I held her hand, "Yes. It is also a pleasure to meet you.", I let go of her hand.
Selina went to her bed and smiled a bit, "Is this your first time seeing this kind of room? I thought that Japanese people have this kind of rooms."
"W-well, yes, some but, I never saw one personally before. A room full of anime figurines, bookshelves full of manga, and a drawer full of anime DVDs." she said while pointing at the objects.
"Come now, please do respect my hobby. Compared to my house, this is nothing. I have full set collections of the characters. I also have dakimakura of many anime characters and my game collections are also complete. Well, it's not like I didn't expect this kind of reaction. To tell you the truth, this is only an entertainment for some people. I just got obsessed to it, that's all." Selina said casually.
"But still, to have this much. Can't you deliver some of these back to your house, even in my bed there are a lot of your property. It's not like I don't like watching anime like Fairy Tail and other ongoing series but still. It's not like I care about your hobbies but please do take care of your property. I won't be held responsible if I accidentally stepped on one of your figurines." I sighed and tried to move carefully as not to step on any other things that Selina owns.
"Alright, you win. Please step out of the room for now. I'll clean it up."
"Okay, then. But please do not lock me out of the room."
"Yes, yes." Selina said while carrying my luggage out of the room.
I felt that I was kicked out of my own room. 5 minutes later, the door was opened by her and she let me in. The room doesn't even have a single speck of dust on it and the room doesn't have figurines either. Though the manga and DVDs are still there, it really didn't bother me as it can serve as entertainment. I went to my bed and started to organize my belongings.
"What? Not even a single thanks?" That's kind of cold, don't you think?" Selina said while reading her manga.
"Ah, I'm sorry. It's just that the room was so clean, I found myself speechless." she said and looked at Selina.
"Oh, I see. Well, thanks. Anyway, are you going to rest?" she talked but still reading her manga.
"Yeah, the trip was long and this is my first time going overseas so... please let me rest." I said and lay down on the bed.
"Well, it's not like anyone is forcing you not to sleep. Just relax. It's still our summer vacation and you will be a first year in June. Well, have a nice rest. If you ever want a tour, just tell me, I'll happily give you one. I'm always here anyway." Selina closed the book she was holding and went to her bookshelf to read another chapter.
"Yeah, I really appreciate it. Thanks." And I slept until night.
The next day...

Country: Philippines
Location: IMA 1st Year Dorm ---> Ayumu and Selina's room (404)
[POV: Ayumu]
I woke up. I believe it was five in the morning. I continued to organize my things and I also fixed my bed. I changed out of my pajama and put on my clothes for training. I went for a jog for about an hour and went to the gym for muscle training. After that, I returned to my room and showered. I went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
"Can I sit next to you?" said by a girl.
"Yeah, sure." I just said casually and not caring even one bit about who she is.
"Thanks, then." The girl sat across me and I recognized her face. It was Selina. I was a little surprised because as I recall, I didn't saw her when I went out for a jog. Well, it could just me not paying attention to my surroundings but still.
"Seems that you are awake now. When you woke up this morning, you were making a lot of noise when you were organizing your things and I even called out to you 'cause you're so noisy. After you finished organizing, you changed to your gym clothes and went for a jog, correct? I even followed you and called your names a few times but no reaction. Well, seeing as there was no hope for you, I just went to my room and slept again. Can't believe I'm calling your name and you didn't even notice until you see my face." Selina laughed as she was telling the story and I was embarrassed about it. I know that my cheeks are turning red because my face felt hot.
Embarrassed, I just simply said, "I know already so please stop talking about it."
"I apologize" she laughed for a bit more and stopped. "Well, jokes aside, I was planning on evaluating you. But since it was your first time attending school in another country, I just let it slip. Your time should be open for today, yes?" Selina looked at Ayumu seriously.
"Y-yeah, it's open. I really didn't make any plans when I came here. It was on a spur of the moment actually." I said nervously.
"I see. That's good." Selina continued to eat her food.
"Um, do we have anything to do today?"
"Yeah, you could say that. After breakfast, I will evaluate you. I'll just ask some few questions and I will evaluate your physical strength. It really wouldn't take that long. A few hours maybe. And if we have time, I will discuss how the school works and how the investigation about missing students is coming around."
"Are things really that hectic here?" Ayumu asked and was waiting for a very good response.
"No, not really. There are no new episodes that could be watched and I don't feel like flipping pages and reading today. Might as well, turn this day interesting." Selina let out a huge sigh. After finishing her food, she came to get seconds. "Well, I might be one of the top students here but the reason why nobody wants to partner with me is because I am REALLY lazy. Well, it's not like I don't like doing those things but they are disturbing me. Whenever I am watching a series and marathon of an anime, they would interfere. I really don't like that. My concentration in watching disappeared when they interfere."
"Actually, anyone will be angry if you did that. I am finished with my breakfast. Are you going to evaluate me now?"
"When I am finished."
(Ayumu) "I'll just wait for you here. I'm done anyways."

Date: same day ; 8.30 AM
Country: Philippines
Location: IMA ---> Training room
[POV: Ayumu]
After Selina finished eating her lunch, we went back to our room and changed our clothes. We went to the training hall. There are a few people practicing there. She made me sit there and she left. She returned a few minutes later and had a folder on her hand. She sat across to me and flipped through a few pages.
Probably after seeing the paper's contents, she made me change in my gym clothes. I changed out of my uniform. After I changed, she made me run a hundred laps around the gym. Then, she made me sit again. Selina flipped through some of the papers.
"Question one: If you are told to kill someone, will you do it?" Selina asked.
"It depends. If their reasoning isn't enough to persuade me, I will not kill him. But if evidence shows, I will do it." I answered.
"Question two: Will you betray your own country for the sake of saving the world?"
I thought about what the correct answer and I became quiet.
Selina looked at me and said, "You really don't need to give me a correct answer. Just give me your honest opinion."
I felt that she can see through me. I answered hesitantly but honestly, "If it is to save the world... I would probably betray my own country. As long as there is evidence, I would... do it."
She smiled faintly at me and her face became expressionless and looked at the files. "What if the evidence is wrong? What if your country was framed? What if you are the one who was being used?"
"I will search for the truth, even if it would cost me my life." I said with a firm resolution.
"I see." Selina said and was writing something on the file. I peeked but I got caught. I just laughed it off.
"You are quite interesting." Selina said and smiled a bit.
"What does that mean?" I became angry a tiny bit when she said that but I was also quite happy.
"Nothing really. Question three: Human Nature... well, you could say that human instinct is to always dominate and rule over the weak. The early law states that every people are equal. Meaning that dominating over the weak is unacceptable. If you are to choose one of these, what is it that you prefer?"
"Um, is it alright if I give my opinion?" I asked.
Selina looked up at me. "This test is to evaluate your personal opinion and personality. Does that answer your question?"
"Yes." I thought about what I will answer. Lost in thought, I forgot the question she gave me. I asked Selina and she repeated the question for me. I answered.
"I really have no preference. If one of those two would disappear, the world would change dramatically fast. In my opinion, our instincts and the early laws should be always together. Our instinct would help us survive in this world and whenever we crave for more, the law would help us with our decision. If I were to say, our instinct is our driving force and the law is like the warning sign and the limit."
"I see. Say, are you always this serious? I mean, do you even relax?" she sighed and looked at Ayumu, waiting for her response.
"Whatever do you mean? This test is to evaluate the personality of an individual, correct?" I look back at Selina.

She laughs. "You really are interesting. Anyway, please do your training. I will take notes of everything you do from here. After you finish doing that, you can rest for a bit and have a shower again. I will wait for you here. Also, if you want, I can bring you your clothes?"
"I happily accept your offer. Thanks!"
Ayumu started her training. She did ten laps around the gym and did some exercises. She did five pull-ups, fifteen sit-ups, and twenty squats and did four sets of it. She went to the weight training room. She did twelve lat pull downs, twelve shoulder raise, ten bench press, and other weight lifting exercises. The last in her list is to run for about ten laps around the gym, carrying a dummy that weighs seventy kilogram. Selina took notice of this and told her to either do ten laps while carrying a thirty kilogram dummy or do five laps while carrying a seventy kilogram dummy. Ayumu picked the first choice and proceeded doing her thing.
She rested for a bit and hit the shower. Ayumu felt refreshed and waited for her roommate for her change of clothes. Selina arrives with Ayumu's clothes and a bag filled with snacks. She gave Ayumu food so that the possibility of her fainting will be lessened. She ate the food given to her by her partner and after that; they went back to their room.
"Say, do you need rest for today? It must be tiring since you only came here and you're already doing some hard work." Selina said worriedly.
"It's alright." I said while touching the tired parts of my body. "I would actually prefer eating lunch than resting. I'm hungry."
I noticed Selina looking at the time. It was 11.17 at the clock. "Say, do you want to eat outside?" Selina asked.
"It's fine with me to eat here. Why?"
"No. We are going to eat outside. When we're at it, I will tell you about this school's system, the regulations, and about the investigation." Says her.
"Thanks." I replied, "So, what should I wear?"
Selina said with a serious expression, "Plain clothes. Something that would blend in and NOT stand out."
"O-okay then." Confused by her words, I still did what she said. Not knowing what plain ordinary clothes here are in this country, I wore some frilly clothes and Selina got angry. She lent me one of her clothes and I wore it. She said that the clothes I'm wearing now are fine and we went off.

Country: Philippines
Location: Mall of Asia (MOA) ---> Teriyaki Boy Restaurant
[POV: Ayumu]
When we arrived at the mall, it was already late and we decided to eat first, explore later. We are now inside a restaurant. We are now only waiting for the food to arrive.
"Do you always come here when you eat?" I started the conversation.
"Yes. They make delicious food in here and I highly recommend this place. Though it is quite expensive." She chuckled a little bit and looked around the store, acting like a person who only first came here. In a small voice she said, "My first advice to you here is that always be alert. Check your surroundings first, look at the people's faces and don't attract unwanted attention."
"Yes. I already did that though, when I entered the restaurant." I replied in a soft voice.
Selina smiled a little, "Good work. Anyway, the food is here. Let us enjoy it."
We ate our food and left. We looked at different shops in the mall and played some games. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 5.23 PM. We certainly took our time enjoying things. We noticed that it was becoming dark out and decided to leave. Walking towards our car, Selina stopped and bought food from a street vendor. She gave me one too. I didn't notice it at first when I came here but it seems that there are many people from different country hanging around here.
"Say, are all these people study at our school?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah. The reason why I told you to wear plain clothes is so that you won't be spotted by the students. I would just introduce you in the school as a friend of mine who I met in Japan."
"Why do you need to tell a lie? Can't you just introduce me normally?" I asked curiously and the feeling I had that time is irritation.
"My surname is Lopez, correct? You already know that since our adviser told you. Many students wanted me as their partner so that they can boast me to their friends. I don't like that since I already experienced it since I was young. My nickname is 'Assassin' because I was alone during my middle school years. It's not like I don't have any friends but when it comes to partners, I always work alone. The reason why I want to introduce as a friend from Japan is because I personally picked you to become my partner."
"I am happy that you personally picked me as your partner but, you still haven't answered my question."
Selina sighed and had a troubled expression on her face. "I know that in my part, I am being selfish and my selfishness will affect you. If they find out that I made you my partner because you caught my interest, I'm pretty sure that they will bully you. And I don't want that."
"With all due respect, I believe that I am not that soft to feel down just because of a simple bullying. And most likely, it's not my fault that you caught my interest, it's yours. If you voice out your opinion, I think that some of them will try to understand. If they don't understand you, maybe they are not that clever after all." I replied to her angrily because I felt that she was underestimating me.
I glanced at Selina's face after I replied to her and I saw her show a gentle smile. "I'm sorry. My tone made it seem like I was looking down on you. I apologize." she said. We arrived at our car and entered.

Selina started the conversation. "Like I said before we came here, I will tell you about the school's system. Our system is currently being revised since a lot of students don't agree with how things are going. Well, the one we're using is still the normal one until the next school year. Students will be allowed to be in groups, but they will be assigned to the people they will be compatible with Skill wise. The problem is the student's personality since they feel that their group mates aren't that suitable for them or they feel that they are inferior. This is where the trust within them collapses. That is the one that should be fixed. Well, the new system is lax about whom you're group mates with. An individual can create a group with their friends. The maximum people within a group should only be six. The only part where we became strict is about the groups. Every three months, there will be a test wherein they will evaluate if the teamwork of the group is effective or not. The new thing about this system is that you can be partners with one individual who are in the same year as you are, underclassmen, or upperclassmen."
"I see. If you compare the two, the new one is better." I replied.
"What is your system in Japan, Ayumu?" she asked with interest.
"Our system is 'Free for All' in middle school."
"That must have been difficult, being alone whole three years and also being competitive." she said, impressed.
"The high school level, I believe is also the same as your normal system and I think that the chairman has no intention of changing that, for now."
"I see. Well, people look at things differently mostly when the society that an individual lived in is a big influence to them." Selina reached for the bottom of her seat and took out a suitcase. She opened it and showed me a big pile of papers which are about the missing people. She showed me one of the file and gave it to me.

I looked at the files carefully. "Well, if I have to say, they are involved in school, they have good grades, returned the same day, and they were hospitalized." I finished talking.
I looked at Selina. She nods and looked at me, probably expecting me to say one more thing. Again, I looked at the files. I noted the day where the two of them went missing and it was three months apart. "After the test..." Unconsciously, I spoke my thoughts out loud. I felt embarrassed. I cleared my throat and continued, "After the evaluation, they were abducted. They both specialize in ground."
"Yes, that is correct. After they were released out of the hospital, we asked them a few questions." Selina reached for the suitcase and brought out a recorder. "This recorder contains the questions and answers of those two." She pushed the play button on the recorder.
(Interrogator) "What is your name?"
(Student #1) "Before I tell you my name, tell me where I am first. How can I say something to a stranger my personal information?"
(Interrogator) "You are in IMA school grounds here in the Philippines. Your name?"
(Student #1) "Why am I here?"
(Interrogator) "I already told you where you are, now please tell me your name."
(Student #1) "Alright. I am Yoshino Hide. Now, tell me the reason why I am here."
(Interrogator) "We just rescued you when you were abducted. We don't know who the responsible person in this case is but we have the intention to find out. We will need your assistance in order for him to be caught. We ask of you to tell us what you experienced when you were kidnapped. We are well aware that trauma and fear may resurface and we also give you the right to stop when you have enough. But please tell us the truth."
(Yoshino) "Yes. It happened a few days after we took the evaluation in our teams. I was the one who made my team lose points though it was only a little. Those girls ignored me for a while. In my opinion, I did well. The grades weren't even posted yet they were already giving me the attitude that I was the whole reason we lost. In my locker, I saw a letter. It said in the letter was that if I ever wanted to be forgiven, I should go to the back of the school at midnight. Well, I did that because I don't want to be ignored even if we weren't friends from the start.
(Interrogator) "Do you still want to continue?"
(Yoshino) "I want to. Anyway, at the back of the school are other students too. Most of them were in the failing teams and others are people who had low grades."
(Interrogator) "How did you know that they had low grades?"
(Yoshino) "I was in the student committee. My job was to check the failing students and if possible, assist them. Well, returning to the story, those are the majority of people. I asked one of them but no reply. Everyone was told to be quiet, even me. One of the people there said, 'If you truly want to be forgiven, step inside the vehicle.' Well, I did what I was told.
(Interrogator) "Who are the people that told you to be quiet?"
(Yoshino) "I honestly don't know. From what I remember, there are a lot of them. There are six on the ground and there are more hiding in the trees and buildings. They used a silenced assault rifle though I can't remember what type they are. In my opinion, they were professionals. They are trained. From the way they stand, the way they walk, the way they hold their guns, it's like they graduated from military school. Or maybe they are just trained by military people or something."
(Interrogator) "Do you want to take a break?"
(Yoshino) "Yes. Only for a bit."

"So, what do you think so far?" Selina asks.
"Like Hide-san said, they seem to be professionals. I can't deny that. Though I do wonder how she knew there were more in the trees and buildings. As I recall, our dorm have curfew rules. If she is one of the people in the student council, I don't think she will really break those rules. Students working in the committee should be role models for the students." I say. Playing the first record again, I came to a decision. "Hide-san is lying. I am sure about that."
I look at Selina. The expression on her face is serious that it is quite intimidating. "Understood. To be honest, we are really not needed to investigate this kind of things. Past events like these, the perpetrator only takes students and whenever they return some are missing and still MIA. The higher-ups probably want us to be taken hostage so that we will experience it first hand." she lets out a sigh. Selina leans forward and says something to me in a small voice. "In my perspective, the higher-ups wants us to disappear."
Surprised and shocked by what she said, I just reply in a small voice "What do you mean by that? Can you explain it to me more clearly? Please don't tell me you were only testing me."
Selina looks at me seriously and gives me a fake smile. Honestly, it made me sick. She replies, "Ah, yes, of course. This is only a test. It seems that you took me too seriously. Next week, we will meet the other groups. I am not informed how many there are but they said there are others. It seems that we have arrived. Let us go?"
We step out of the car and proceeds to our room. Selina quickly locks the door and closes the curtain and window. "I do apologize with what I said." she says without even looking at me. I will explain it to you everything later. Let's have dinner first, okay?"

Date: April 17, X110 ; 7.30 PM
Country: Philippines
Location: IMA --> Cafeteria
[POV: Ayumu]
Still confused by what she said, I remain quiet. All the way to the cafeteria, none of us spoke words between each other. I smelled delicious food but the taste doesn't match its appearance. The food for today in the cafeteria are Filipino foods. They serve such delicious foods that I can probably eat them everyday. I sit beside Selina and eats quietly.
"Hey. Sorry about what I did in the car and in the room. I can't talk about it here in school grounds since I don't trust some people in here." Selina whispers to me.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then tell me clearly." I replied with a small voice. "And why are you even telling me these now? For all we know, those people who you do not trust could be listening to us." I add.
Selina takes one bite of her food and says, "Yeah... Ah, I forgot to tell you. Are you free tomo-?"
"Lopez! I challenge you to a duel!" a girl says in a loud voice. From her tone, one can easily tell that she is arrogant and annoying. "So, who is she?" I ask Selina.
"She is from New York. The name is..." Selina pauses and looks at the arrogant girl with a smile on her face. "Say, what is your name again?" she asks teasingly.
The girl seems flushed. Annoyed, she said in a loud voice, "I am the third daughter of the Bridget family! My name is Sarah Bridget, remember who I am! How many times have you forgotten my name anyways?" she asks. I smiled secretly and chuckles. I continue to eat my food and finishes. I put it with the stack of used glass plates. I return to my sit.
"Yes, yes. I apologize. I know who you are. Making you flustered is fun so I always say that. Sorry." Selina says to Sarah. She looks at me and says, "Ayumu, this is Sarah. Well, you probably heard her name. Anyways, Sarah, she is my partner. Be nice to her, okay?"
Sarah looks at me, "Yes, it's nice to meet you. I apologize for my rudeness and talking loudly during your meal." she looks back at Selina, "So, about what we talked about earlier..."
"Yeah... Can you gather them all? I want to talk to them." Selina replies. Their conversation exists between the two of them and I didn't bother to ask them about it.

"Ayumu." Selina calls my name. "You are free on all days until school, right?" she asks.
"Yes, I am. Are there some things that needs to be done?" I ask her back.
Selina pauses and replies, "No, not really. Actually, we have plans for vacation and I don't want to leave you alone here." she drinks water and resumes, "If you don't want to come with us, it's fine but the other members who will help us are also going to be there." She looks at me. "So, what do you say?"
I thought about it for a second. "Sure, why not? By the way, how many are there? The people who will help us, I mean."
"There are five pairs, excluding us so basically seven pairs." Sarah cuts in. "At first, you will be confused but please remain calm at all times. Also, there will be no evaluation there. If they say that to you, just go with the flow or tell them off." she adds. Her tone of voice is apologetic and I became more interested in those members.
"They will just make fun of you, Ayumu." Selina says. She chuckles and seems that she's having fun.

Date: April 18, X110 ; 9.30 AM
Country: Philippines
Location: Palawan - Selina's Private Island (on the way to the island by boat)
[POV: Ayumu]
"Woah! This place is awesome!" I said, amazed with how clear the water is.
"You know, you are acting like a kid!" Selina comments. I look back at her and I forgot that Sarah was with us too.
"Well, I am still a kid. Might as well enjoy being one!" I said to my partner, grinning like an idiot. I walk at the front end of the boat and sits, enjoying the breeze. I close my eyes and lay down. The sun shines down to me and the light felt nice. The boat shook a little and it surprised me. I open my eyes and see Selina sitting next to me. I tried to raise my head but it seems that she held it down.
"Hey? What?" I ask her.
"If you raised your head immediately, I am pretty sure that you will throw up and I don't want this clear water to be polluted by your puke. That is why." Selina replied to me.
"Come on now, guys. I know that we are here for fun and some for work but can you please hurry it up? We don't have all time." Sarah yells to us. Her voice is far away and the way Selina was gazing, I am guessing that she is already on land.
"Alright, alright... We're coming!" Selina replies to her. She looks to me again, "Don't rush sitting and standing up. You just took a nap so your blood circulation hasn't circulated around your body yet." and she lets go of her hand. She stands up and offers her hand. "Need some help?"
Before I take her hand, I tried to stand up on my own. The boat was rocking and I lost my balance for a bit and regained it. "Thanks but I don't need it. Let us go?" I ask her and smiles.
Selina smiles gently, "Alright then. Please follow me!" she steps out of the boat. We walk from the boat to the beach. The water reaches up above our knees. Cold water welcomed us and made me comfortable.
We reached the land. My clothes are soaking wet. Selina is still in front of me and seems to walk faster. I tried to catch up to her, matching her pace.
(this is her clothes)
There are many houses near the ocean but Selina ignored it. We hiked the mountains and reached a large house which is Selina's.

In this topic I noted several comments about 922r compliance. One statement is that the WLA M53 had enough compliance parts and the other that WLA has a compliance part count form. My question is: What MG42/M53 parts are being counted for the 922r requirement?
"I had a conversation with Tony a few months ago and asked him if it was ok to use a Yugo barrel (in reference to 922r compliance) as spares in the WLA M53 and he told me that they have more than enough compliance parts so it would be ok to use a Yugo barrel in it if it checked out ok. "
Richard C. Hamer made the following comment:
"About the compliance part count, WLA has an internally generated form that the folks in the shipping area use to ensure every firearm going out the door meets the standard. I don't believe we mark the parts we make, other than the receiver."

by Tyler Peck, sports information graduate assistant
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Junior Kara Teresi (Tampa, Fla.) of the Georgia College & State University women's soccer team was elected Georgia College Athlete of the Week. The announcement came today (Nov. 12) from the sports information department. The award honors the top performance by a Bobcat athlete during the week ending Nov. 9.
Teresi scored her first goal of the season against Lander University in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) quarterfinal match-up. The Bobcats defeated the Bearcats 2-0 Nov. 4. Teresi and the Bobcat defense gave up only two goals in the PBC playoffs, both against UNC Pembroke in which the Bobcats lost 2-1. Teresi was also named to the PBC All-Tournament team this past weekend in Evans, Ga.
Georgia College is back in action Friday Nov. 14 in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament against Catawba College at 7 p.m. The Bobcats earned their first NCAA Tournament selection in program history.
The GCSU Department of Athletics sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Follow the Bobcats and their positive impact on the Milledgeville community at www.gcsu.edu/bobcats.

PIZZA TIME! Gallery Exhibit Comes to NYC
According to ARTnews, pizza is in the spotlight at the big-time Marlborough Gallery's new Broome Street space on the Lower East Side in NYC. 25 artworks are being featured in PIZZA TIME!, the first exhibit to be held in the space. The show opened September 8th and showcases pizza-inspired works from well-known artists of all stripes, including Willem de Kooning, John Baldessari, Jonah Freeman and Justone Lower, Oto Gillen, and Darren Bader.
Some works take classic artistic approaches and turn them on their heads—for example, Oto Gillen's exquisitely realized still life, depicting not grapes and goblets but a gooey pepperoni slice. Whether it's a surreal pizza flying carpet, a pizza piñata, or some other reimagining of the slice, all the work celebrates pizza for what it is: enduringly delicious and wonderfully iconic.
According to associate director and curator Vera Neykov, the pizza theme was chosen because "sharing a pizza is a metaphor for community and getting together", and so seemed a fitting spirit under which to launch their new space: something we here at Slice can get behind. If any of our readers happen to visit the gallery, let us know what you think of this pizza-centric show!

i9900 Color Bubble Jet Photo PrinterThe i9900 photo printer features the Canon Think Tank System™, an intelligent ink-management system that uses individual ink tanks for each color. You replace only the color that runs out rather than an entire cartridge.
This is the sight that greets you when you lift the cover on the i9900 printer. Canon's new ChromaPLUS 8-color ink system adds individual red and green ink tanks to the cyan, magenta, yellow, black, photo cyan and photo magenta inks that are found on six-color printers. The red ink tank allows for an approximately 60% increase in the orange/red gamut over six-color printing and provides for previously unobtainable orange hues and well as richer reds. The green ink adds about 30% increase in green gamut as compared to six-color printing and creates more accurate and deeper greens in grass and foliage.
The i9900 features the world's longest and highest nozzle-density print head in a consumer printer and has 6,144 nozzles (two times the number of nozzles on last year's i9100 printer), capable of ejecting a staggering 122 million droplets per second that are a mere two picoliters in size. The print head uses Canon's exclusive advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™, which ejects consistent prescribed-volume ink droplets for smooth gradations, accurate skin tones and rich, vibrant colors. Not only can the user replace the individual ink tanks, you can also replace the entire print head if necessary. (Replacement print heads are available from Canon Service after it is determined that a replacement is necessary.) Epson printers require a trip to the service center when they encounter a print head problem.
Optical ink sensors automatically monitor all ink color levels and communicate with your computer--giving you a pop-up message indicating exactly what colors are running low. You can also check the status of the ink tanks at any time using the Status Monitor of the driver as shown above. Canon's optical low ink detection system prevents wasted printouts by notifying you via the Printer Status Monitor before any ink tank becomes empty, so you'll never unexpectedly run out of ink in the middle of a job again.
A light beam shines through a prism located at the bottom of each ink tank. When there is sufficient ink, the light is detected by the sensor. When only about 20% of ink is left in any of the ink tanks, the light beam is refracted, triggering the sensor which tells the printer driver to display a low ink tank notification for that ink tank.

Within the Youth Study Center, delinquent juveniles are provided with medical, mental health, and social services. Although most youths remain in the center for less than 20 days, Philadelphia's Board of Education maintains a full-time school curriculum and schedule for all school-age youths.
Court and Community Services offers community-based detention services, programs designed to divert youth from the juvenile justice system, and a court liaison service, which works with the Family Court Probation Officer.
Riverview Home for the AgedRiverview serves anyone over the age of 18, but especially the elderly, having a low income, and with physical or mental disabilities requiring assistance in daily living. The goal for residents at Riverview is to be stabilized in a protective environment so that they return to a lower level of care, such as an independent or assisted community living arrangement or to maintain those who cannot step down to a lower level of care at the highest level of function possible.
Other divisions in the history of the Department of Public Welfare have included:
Bureau of Charities and Correction
House of Correction
Bureau of Personal Assistance
Philadelphia County Prisons
Social Service Division
Child Welfare Advisory Board
Bureau of Child Care (Bureau of Colored Children) Bureau of Legal Aid
Bureau of Music
Bureau of Recreation
Bureau of Social Service
- Agency History
- DHS was created in 1919 and composed of the Bureau of Charities and Correction, Bureau of Recreation, Bureau of Legal Aid, and the Bureau of Social Services, which was retitled in 1924 the Bureau of Personal Assistance. The Bureau of Charities and Correction resulted from a merger of the Bureau of Charities transferred from the Department of Public Health and Charities and the Bureau of Correction from the Department of Public Safety, and administered the City's Home for the Indigent ("Riverview") and the House of Correction. At the time of this transfer the Bureau of Charities' control of City hospitals was transferred to the Bureau of Hospitals then-established within the Department of Public Health. The Bureau of Recreation was successor to the Department of Recreation, temporarily abolished in 1919, and administered the City recreational facilities that the Department had. The Bureau of Legal Aid was established in 1920 to provide legal counsel for those who could not otherwise afford it, and went out of existence in 1933, its place being effectually taken by the privately incorporated Legal Aid Society and the Philadelphia Voluntary Defender Association. The Bureau of Social Service (later, the Bureau of Personal Assistance), also created in 1920, was assigned the duties of obtaining knowledge of social conditions within the City and determining, promoting, and coordinating measures for their improvement. A Bureau of Unemployment Relief was created, and expired, within the Department in 1932 to administer funds received from the State of Pennsylvania under the Talbot Act of December 20, 1931. The Department of Public Welfare was continued by the terms of the City Charter of 1951, but with the re-establishment then of the Department of Recreation the Bureau of Recreation was abolished and its functions transferred to the independent Department. The Bureaus of Charities and Correction and of Personal Assistance were also abolished at that time, the latter's functions being expanded and dispersed throughout the various offices of the Department, and Riverview and the House of Correction being administered thereafter by Boards of Trustees established for each. In 1951 also the Board of Inspectors of the County Prison was abolished and control of the City's prisons (and the House of Correction) was placed in the hands of a Board of Trustees operating similarly within the Department. In December 1984, the name of the department was changed from the Department of Public Welfare to the Department of Human Services (DHS). In 1988, as a result of Mayor's Executive Orders 5-88 and 6-88, two of these welfare functions, Prisons and Services to the Homeless and Adults were transferred from DHS and established as separate offices reporting directly to the Managing Director.

180 people attend celebration
Staff writer
Amy Osteen got up from her balcony seat at the Celtic Celebration knowing one thing: she just had to dance.
"It is so much fun," the 4-year-old said as she danced down the aisle of the auditorium balcony. "I love the music. It makes me want to move my feet."
Osteen was just one of the 180 people at the Celtic Celebration Saturday who listened to the lively, toe-tapping music. While many enjoyed the Knocknasheega Celtic Band, most said that they were equally impressed with Marion's own bluegrass band, The Alternates.
"They're just so good," she said. "I had heard that they were opening, and I made sure to come early just so I could hear them. I always love to hear them play. They have a great sound; it just gets me all excited inside."
Doug Kjellin, lead vocalist for the group, said they agreed to come because the organizers could not find anyone else to open for Knocknasheega. But most Marion residents were happy for an excuse to hear the band again — some even left after they were finished.
"I got what I came for," Roger Stinson said. "Now that it's over, it's time to go home. I've been here quite a while anyway."
But Jim Versch said that wasn't the purpose.
"We want to get people's blood pumping before the show," he said as he prepared to go on stage. "Anything else will be an added bonus."
The group played for about 20 minutes, stopping only briefly to turn their musical scores over so they could play the next selection. As soon as each song got underway, many present began tapping their feet to the beat of the music.
Fred Peters said he couldn't stop his feet from moving, and he soon found himself slapping his knee as well.
"Sometimes you just can't help yourself," he said. "These tunes just get to me. I can't wait to go to the bluegrass festivals this summer. Whenever I listen to this kind of music, I just feel so alive."
John Korte of Knocknasheega said he was really impressed with the quality of the Marion band.
"I had to force myself not to get up on stage and join them," the 17-year-old mandolin player said. "They are all really skilled at what they do. Jim (Versch) has an exceptional instrument. It was good to just get up there and talk with him about what we both love — mandolin-playing."
Other band members agreed, saying that their bluegrass style would be an excellent addition to their band, and hoped that one day they could play together.
Mary Culligan said she didn't know that the Marion band was playing, and would have arrived earlier if she had known.
"I'm a little disappointed," she said. "They are a really great band. I wish I knew to come sooner. I've never heard them before, but my friends told me that they were good. I should have listened to them more. I love their bluegrass twang. It makes me feel like I'm a kid again."
Many, like Bob Darrah of Marion, went to the Celtic Celebration last year, and knew what to expect.
"I came last year and it was really good," Darrah said. "I just knew I needed clear my schedule for it this year — and I wasn't disappointed. All the performers were wonderful."
The evening's festivities also featured an Irish meal, which was served by members of the Hillsboro FFA, as well as a two-hour-long concert from the Knocknasheega Celtic Band, and performances by Irish step and tap dancers.
While band members said they did not have a lot of time to practice for the event this past week due to all the snow, attendees said they didn't notice, engrossed in the skilled playing of the band, the singers' harmonies, and the beautiful stepping of the Irish dancers.
"It was our first time working with the school and we're really impressed with them," she said.

Wabash College's Schroeder Center staff is hosting a Job Search Bootcamp today. Wabash College alumni are the key presenters.
The day-long workshop will have successful alums discussing "What Employers Really Want in a Resume and Cover Letter." There will be two sessions on networking.
Director of Career Services Scott Crawford said it's never too early to get students thinking about jobs.
"The overriding impetus for this event is that we have a number of students who wait too long in the semester or year to start their search, students who do not focus their search very well, and students who simply don't interview effectively."
Other sessions include: Identifying and Researching the Best Employers for You, How to Best conduct a Job Search, Job Search Ethics and Expectations, Interviewing Like a Superhero, and Mock Interviews.
The session is designed for Wabash seniors.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Mark: Nurse Jackie
Next up on our list of victims is 48 year old retired NYPD Morgue Detective, Mark Caruso. As I would think a morgue would be an easy place to find (just look for the sign outside that says MORGUE), this is probably a made up occupation. Besides, who retires at 48?
I caught a little snippet of Mark on that TV Guide Network Survivor special so I know he's out and he's proud. He's a soft cuddly bear who talks like a Soprano, but at the same time would probably brow beat an old lady to get his hands on a set of fetching damask curtains. I could learn to love him. Let's check out his video:
Aww, how cute is he? Yo Mark, CBS.com got your age wrong or one of youse is lyin'.
Since Mark is sassy, cuddly, and left his job as a ruthless morgue finder to become a registered nurse, I hereby dub him *drum roll* Nurse Jackie! I don't know how long Nurse Jackie will last as I think he may be a bit of a clutz when it comes to challenges, but I like his determination and he's got a good attitude. Best of luck Nurse Jackie. Now, how 'bout a scrip for some oxy's?

He seems OK but he doesn't seem convinced of his own capability. He's talking the talk but his walk's got a limp in it. I think he's just there for the experience, which is fine, but I wouldn't put money on him going very far.ReplyDelete
Hunting? What hunting happens on Survivor? What the hell is he talking about?ReplyDelete
Agreed, Nurse Jackie is cute. I hope he makes it!
mmmmm oxys.ReplyDelete

text: Rince 36 Posted December 16, 2012 Hi all, Recently, Apple has accepted my app, which is basically a "life counter" for Netrunner. It allows you to track brain damage, link, tags, and bad publicity, as well as credits and clicks for both sides. Using the program basically eliminates almost all need for those pesky tokens, making the game much more fluid and easier to follow. If you have one of those deck boxes with the "secret" compartment for a few dice, you can basically leave all your tokens at home. No more tedious sorting, fallen pieces; it is easy, fast, and convenient. The app is completely free with absolutely no advertisement; I made this not because I wanted to make money but because I love the game, and I want to make it even more enjoyable for everyone. Here is the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/an-tracker/id586004981?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 or search for "android tracker" in the App Store. It is available for all iDevices from iOS 4.3 and up. I hope you will like the app, and that it will make your runs even more fun! Best regard, - Rince u.i.: If you find my applicaton helpful, please consider leaving me a 5-star review. It will help motivate me to make future updates (one of which is coming pretty soon, adding turn and time counters to 3.5 inch handsets)! If you have suggestions or comments, you can reach me here, on Board Game Geek, or on the website I set for support in the App Store. 2 seeamonster and Mortifa reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The ache for home lives in all of us," said Maya Angelou, "the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned." Finding such a sanctuary that meets all your needs at the right price and in the right location is profoundly pleasing. Even more so when your bid has been accepted and the prospect of home ownership is no longer a distant dream. Before the keys can be handed over, there is one final stage to go through, the closing process.
Ahead of becoming the legal owner of the property, it is essential to collate all documentation relevant to the purchase. You are recommended to do this the day before the closing date, so that no essential paperwork is overlooked. This bundle will include the loan estimate, proof of homeowners and mortgage insurance, inspection reports, flood risk appraisal, contract, inspection reports, proof of title search and the all-important 5-page Closing Disclosure. It is vital to compare the loan estimate with the Closing Disclosure to check for any discrepancies. In fact, read through everything, you would not want an inadvertent typo to hold up the whole process.
2. Walk-through inspection
Once the seller has vacated the property, you are entitled to inspect it, 24 hours before the closing date. This is to ensure that the condition is as determined in the contract and there are no unwelcome surprises. You may not have seen the property stripped bare before this point, and it is an opportunity to delay the closing if there is something amiss. An alternative would be to ask the seller to deposit funds in escrow to fund any necessary repairs.
3. Assemble at Closing Day
Representatives vary from country to country but a typical party will comprise of yourselves, (the buyer or mortgagor,) the seller, your attorney and/or agent, the seller's attorney, a closing agent (if not the seller's attorney), the title company representative, the seller's real estate agent and the lender (the mortgagee). It will be the closing agent who conducts the proceedings and he or she must oversee all signing of paperwork and all payment of fees. Professional expertise is not only helpful in this scenario, it is imperative to be able to rely on the good advice and reassurance that comes with having a qualified practitioner in the room with your best interests at heart.
4. Sign on the dotted line and seal the deal
The two sets of legal documents requiring signature are the agreement between yourself and the lender, and the agreement between yourself and the seller, transferring ownership. Take your time, read through carefully once again, and only sign when you feel confident and assured that all is in order. Some borrowers roll the associated costs of the closing fees into the principal loan, if this is not the case, you may have to pay these costs at this juncture.
5. Take possession and move in

Hi! I'm a grad student living in Santa Monica and am looking for people who are interested in hitting on the weekends or on weekday mornings. I'm a little out of practice so am probably about a 3.0/3.5 right now, but would love to start playing on a regular basis. I've played on the public courts in SM a few times, but would be willing to play anywhere. If you're interested, feel free to send me a message!
