Thunderbolt

"So the bottom is the Primes, these are slightly higher than flag bearers, you will not have to stand but it is first come first serve. Then the step is Sentinels, you will be valued higher than the Primes, and you are no longer seen as disposable. The second highest is the Officers, there are only three, which are Vice Commander Seth, Chief Dancho and Ibrahim. You will get a title of your choosing and nothing too ridiculous. So Ibrahim what do you want your Title to be?" Ibrahim thought about this for a bit before announcing his title, "Thunderbolt Ibrahim!"

Stas nodded at the name, it suited Ibrahim and Stas continued, "Then at the very top is me, Commander. Until the Officer leaves or gets demoted the position of an Officer will never be available. You will follow my or the vice commander's orders. This is a private militia or company meaning you take orders strictly from me or the Captain General unless I allow the order. You will not take orders from Colonels, Majors, Captain or Lieutenant, you also never take orders from Brigadiers, Major Generals or Lieutenant Generals. Is that clear? Also threatening a superior officer or intimidating a superior officer is grounds to become a flag bearer."

The recruits started to murmur amongst themselves, as Ibrahim whispered to Stas, "Don't go too hard on them. They all mean well." Stas looked at the recruits and analysed their faces, Stas then spoke again, "Senshi and Haul are the only two sentinels and you will respect them since they rank above you. You have to respect them, not love them so for the first day we will get to know each other also, if you encounter a girl called Sylvia do not engage her, same for the Conquerors."

A day passed and Stas woke up in his bed, he looked up at the ceiling with a yawn, and he shut his eyes hoping to just miss the day but his alarm clock screamed at him. He couldn't go back to bed, he was fully awake. Stas got up and walked to his bathroom and had a warm shower, his back yelled at him, "Hurry up!" Stas yelled at his brother, "Shut up, you annoying bastard!" Stas got out of the shower a few minutes later and dressed in his normal uniform, he then went to the kitchen and grabbed a sandwich and some juice, munched on the bread, and then drank his juice.

He scrolled through his phone, he watched a few videos when he receive a notification. 'Ready to be the Greatest in Lennox. The tournament will start at 9, with no weapons. Any use of weapons or outside help will be grounds for immediate disqualification.' He finished his food as he headed for the door, he left his complex and went to the bus stop. When the bus came, he got on and sat at the back of the bus. The sun was shining with a golden glow and the blue skies. The bus went down the hill, he could see the Island of Acnefera and the Acneferan Channel.
