Introduction to Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card

Once again, Earth is under attack. An alien species is poised for a final assult. The survival of humanity depends on a military genius who can defeat the aliens.

But who?

Ender Wiggin. Brilliant. Ruthless. Cunning. A tactical and strategic master. And a child.

Recruited for military training by the world government, Ender's childhood ends the moment he enters his new home: Battle School. Among the elite recruits Ender proves himself to be a genius among geniuses. In simulated war games he excels. But is the pressure and lonliness taking its toll on Ender? Simulations are one thing. How will Ender perform in real combat conditions? After all, Battle School is just a game.

Right?

Chapter 4

Chapter 4-
Graff and another adult decide to isolate Ender in Battle School. Ender is very nervous and serious, unlike the other students who are joking around. Graff and a few other adults watch the students every move. They board a space shuttle and head into space. In the shuttle, Graff gives an orientation to the students. One student starts hitting Ender, and Ender blocks his hit with such force that the other boy breaks his arm. Ender feels awful, as though he was just like Peter. Graff tells Ender that he isnt there to make friends, so its ok. He introduces Ender to another teacher, Anderson. Anderson asks if Ender is the one, and Graff says he is.
