General Minamino could be seen on a tall building, addressing the new set of soldiers."Men of valuable talents, your perseverance and guts have been rewarded. You all belong to the army as from today. Like I had promised, the top ten thousand would be given the opportunity to chose if they want to belong to the marine, Air force or militias.You can still choose to remain in the army of course. And yes, the top ten thousand can choose any division they want to belong to that's if they decide to remain in the Army"."Whoooa!!!""That's cool!""I'm so jealous!" Series of comments, and compliments could be heard from diverse angles."Keep your mouths shut!" Echoed the warrant officer, whose name was Steve Clark.And immediately, everywhere became as silent as a cemetery. Although, some murmurings could still be heard."Jeez! Must he yell every time?" A voice whispered. "What did you say?" Steve asked to confirm if he heard someone complaining, or it was just an assumption. The war
Alright, it's been few weeks since I entered the army. I'm still at the bottom but, according to what the warrant officer(Clark) declared.....There were three ways to secure a higher rank for yourself:*Your training and battle performances are the most important.*Secondly, engaging in duels & dethroning*Thirdly, through recommendation.He also mentioned other guidelines, which I didn't pay attention to.Speaking of the devil, his cold stare almost caught me off guard, and his eyes were as hard as a rock, even though it was right behind his transparent goggles.His eyes were red, pointed nose and black hair which he typically keeps slicked-back.Slim fitted white shirt on black trousers, alongside a pair of white sneakers to complete his attire."Good day sir!" I bowed, before walking swiftly to avoid an eye contact. Even though I took a quick glance at him.His facial expressions was as stern as usual but, observing people wasn't in my schedule today.Oh yeah, time for my fir
"I can walk myself up". I said blankly."You are so full of yourself". He replied with a warm smile.Hiroshi's POV(point of view).We were now at the front of a very tall gate, and this was another investigation sect. Just like the one I and my sis visited, when we went to meet Jinoshi."You had better behave yourself as from now!" I ordered, putting on a poker face."Aye Sir!" He replied nonchalantly, as he mimicked the accent of an ancient pirate. However, what pissed me of the most was the way he kept devouring his finger nails with his teeth.I couldn't take it any longer, as the door creaked open in a slow manner."And stop picking your nose!" I yelled, as I vibrated my head in a comical manner."Aye! aye!" The repetition of his response got me fuming like a mad bull.Immediately I entered, there were maids standing at the entrance to receive us."Which room sir?" A fair lady asked, alongside a slight bow.Seemed like she was one of their new staffs."Fool! It's the captain, lead
Note:This chapter was meant to be before *checking the billboard and after *time's up.Please bear with us.Made some mistakes during sequential uploads.*"We're here!" I uttered with both eyes closed. We were now standing at the front of a tall building.I brought out a chip, then inserted it while licking my left thumb."I can't believe that's the entry code." Hinata said as she heaved a sigh."Yeah! That's the only way of preventing unwanted outsiders." I said as I removed the chip.It was so funny to say but yet, it was a medium of high restriction. One needed the chip to asses the building but, without licking your thumb it isn't going to open. That was the entry sign because of unwanted intruders."You can wait for me here." I said with a serious tone."Humph! You worry too much, I'm okay." She replied me as she raised her hands midway in nonchalance. Her bright and positive way of approaching things never seem to erode or diminish.I didn't like it when she followed me to buildi
I should have allowed Floch and others to finish them off. I said inwardly."No!" I shook my head, as I felt what I did was right. "They keep treating us like we are pawns." I mused.I was now walking towards Kenji's direction, still deep in thoughts. And oh! That reminds me, as soon as we get out of this mess, I'll inquire from Jinoshi about the welfare of Jack and Denki.One thing I knew of a surety was that the soul heaters were full of battle talents."The dust in the wind....." I muttered to myself, as I tried to remember who I had heard that statement from."Oh crap, I almost forgot about Kenji." Immediately I remembered, my mood soured in an instant.I peeped to check, if Kenji was moving or doing anything suspicious but to my surprise, he was sitting lazily on the chair I asked him to sit on as he kept looking at the surroundings in a sluggish manner."What's still keeping him?" He sighed, before readjusting his sitting posture.On sighting me, he got up quickly, then walked to
'Grab!’ My hand was stuck to something. I quickly turned to look at the object that got entangled to my left hand.I looked down to see if there was anything like leaves that was fastened to my hand, then in a split second, I remembered that I collided into someone seconds ago.Like it was a camera movement, my eyes rolled as I raised my head up quickly. Due to my swift movement, my vision blurred for a moment like it was covered by a vignette which opens back almost immediately as I stared at the individual who held me with a deadly look."Uh! Oh! So it's you". He sounded indifferent, as he had a very striking resemblance to someone I knew but, why did he hold on to my hand?My eyes twitched from left to right before spotting a resembling scar on his left eyebrows. Still reminiscing, I saw a star shape tattooed on his neck.My facial expression became dark in an instant, I recognized those d*mn tattoos. I quickly used my other hand that was free to grab Kenji who was waiting for me to
"You for real?” He asked with one of his brows arched up."Yeah!" I replied, giving him a strange look."Ha ha ha!" He laughed heartily. "That's nice to hear". He makes a turn to continue going. Has he forgotten he is to stay with me?Oh! Trying to run away? That won't work on me."Idiot!" I shouted in a comical manner. "You're meant to come with me. My place is this way. Don't try running away". I pointed towards the left for emphasis as I spoke."I am not running away, I just forgot I was to follow you". He continued to convince me he wasn't running away as we walked towards my place-----------------------(Two weeks later)The sky was blue as usual, dry leaves surrounded the area as people were edging closer to summer.It was quite hot as most people held unto one thing or the other to keep themselves cool, while others had umbrellas over their head. Towards the mountains, beyond the plains, was a mighty fortress were the military forces of sangotaro resided.Kenji could be seen si
"What do you want to see me for?” He asked, as he stood up to offer me a seat.While rubbing the back of my head in slight embarrassment, I finally talked while staring at the ground."You know dad, you could have really choose to continue instead of dismissing th----"He interrupts me with a wide smile"I could never choose meetings over my family. Not even my own very s--""Dad please!” I didn't know were those words came out from but, all I knew is that I brought his speech to an abrupt end.Everywhere became as silent as a graveyard, all we did was to stare at each other, before we were called back to consciousness by papers that fell from the table to the floor.I took my sit as he walks further from me and nearer to his seat to pick the papers that fell to the floor."Sorry". I replied curtly but, with a hint of guilt."No, *He chuckles* it isn't your fault". I could see his remorseful look behind his wide smile. It sent chills to my spine as I thought of myself as being overbear
