Chapter 7: Screening (2)
Instead of sending someone to examine me, I was asked to be delivered to the RDC instead. The reason? Probably the way how Captain Van informed them. They all murmured as I walked the path to the testing center, surrounded by him, Allen, and a few RDC employees who warmly welcomed me with tranquilizer guns in their hands.
How very thoughtful of them, I must say.
"I wonder what the hell did he tell them?" I whispered to myself, begrudgingly. All I did was show my frustration toward that unnatural phenomenon depriving me of my house and now I'm set to be examined under these frightening gazes.
What's wrong with that?
Captain Van, who was walking beside me, gave me a sideways glance. I thought he was going to say something because of the way he stared, but he just sharply averted his eyes again.
"We're here." One of the employees in a white lab gown opened the laboratory with his fingerprint. "Only he can enter. The two of you will have to wait upstairs."
"Yes, thank you for this performing test upon our request."
I heard Allen say before I entered the testing center. The two of them remained at the entrance for a few minutes talking to that doctor, before leaving. As I got changed into a tight-fitting body suit, I wondered why they needed to wait upstairs instead of outside until I finally entered the main examination room.
"When an individual suspects they may be awakened, they must first submit an application to the DAM including their personal details, symptoms, or incidents that led them to believe that might possess awakened abilities. That's the initial procedure. Only those who exhibited abnormal, something that goes beyond awakening, get to be dragged in here for an urgent examination."
I turned to the woman who was watching me from the door, leaning on the jamb with her hands in the pocket of her lab gown. If she thinks she looks cool, then she is. Her long hair was tied in a high ponytail and she was almost as tall as me.
She's pretty, but what caught my eye was her shirt with three buttons undone, revealing her cleavage. I looked ahead and studied the room without answering. That's how I saw Captain Van and Allen standing above me.
