301 First Day at the ARMY Part-3 (1/2)

Ryuu silently followed after the Bakhtyar as he took him inside the testing center, which so happened to be the place where registration of new recruitment took place, as they entered Bakhtyar turned as he spoke, ”Can you lower the level of attraction.”

Ryuu was stunned before he understood what Baktyar meant as he replied back sheepishly, ”Well Sir, I am still learning but if you give me enough time I can create some Arrays that will further help me with this.”

Bakhtyar shook his head as he spoke, ”First lesson, always be ready for the unexpected.”, with that he threw a mask towards Ryuu as he spoke, ”Here take this I so do not want my over security getting overtaxed by some love crazed buffoons, so until and unless you find a more pleasant and permanent solution you will wear this.”

Ryuu let out a tired sigh as the black colored mask with golden design on it promptly placed over his face as he wordlessly followed after Bakhtyar.

As Ryuu followed after his future superior he saw many of his superior's subordinates bowing to him, as he approached a room they were greeted by a person and judging from the person's aura he was only a peak level Golden Immortal cultivator.

The man bowed as he spoke, ”Sir, how may I be of help?”

Bakhtyar spoke in a tone that reminded Ryuu of his sisters, ”Special candidate get him registered NOW!”

The man bowed as he escorted Ryuu, towards a spherical object floating atop a stand, he introduced his KI into it which made it glow green briefly before he told Ryuu to place a drop of his blood on a top of a round sphere, causing Ryuu to frown at that as Bakhtyar spoke with a small smile on his face, ”You have a good head kid, you did not obey his orders and given your blood without a thought as it can be dangerous but you do not need to worry about that here, now please proceed.”

Ryuu nodded at that as he let a single drop of his blood fall on the sphere, which promptly glowed and as the person overseeing was about to see the results Bahtyar appeared by his side as he spoke, ”Move I will do the rest.”

The man bowed as he left leaving Bakhtyar with the results as he looked at it briefly before dispelling it as he spoke, ”Well welcome to the army Kid, I hope you have a pleasant stay with us.”

Ryuu did not know how to reply as he simply saluted as he spoke, ”Thank you Sir, for you giving me the chance.”

Bakhtyar gave a small smile as he spoke, ”Nonsense, you have rightfully earned this place through your strength and still I cannot believe your results even after I seen it with my own eyes, though I hope you will not fall asleep like the naïve kid I met all those years ago.”

Ryuu blushed in embarrassment at that as he spoke, ”I am sorry for my disgraceful behavior all those years ago.”

Bakhtiyar simply waved his hands as he started walking again with Ryuu trailing behind him closely but no sooner did they step outside one of the candidates shouted at the top of his voice, ”Oi you corrupt bastard, showing favoritism to him, what did he offer to you his mother.”, at that many of them started laughing and jeering at them.

Ryuu did not know if he would feel apocalyptic rage or feel pity for the lack of brain, to insult one's future boss like that, he never thought he would see some idiot like that, as he mulled over them he remembered an interesting conversation he had once shared with Maheswara.

~flashback,

A 13 year old Ryuu scrunched his face in deep though as he spoke, ”Master there is something I do not understand.”

Maheswara looked curiously at Ryuu before as he spoke, ”What is that you do not understand my disciple?”

Ryuu, ”Well you see I have met many people who are like 'I am the greatest think and bow to me', but at the end of the day they are nothing but bully who prey on the weak with ego bigger than a planet but at the same time they are nothing extraordinary.”

Maheswara nodded at that as he replied to Ryuu, ”Well you see power and fame can easily corrupt someone, most of this people you see are simply unfortunate people who are like toad in a well who think they have seen the entire world and are the strongest, well in a way they are not wrong after all inside that well they are strongest and inside that well they know everything, but when they are introduced in a bigger and more treacherous environment they falter, similar are the case of those people you had the misfortune to meet who thought themselves as undefeated but when faced with stronger foes they crumbled.”

Bakhtyar looked at Ryuu as he spoke, ”Are you not going those mutts down? After such a comment I thought you would kill them.”

Ryuu simply tilted his head as he replied back, ”Well I would love to but I have yet to understand why they are barking so much and also why should human such as I return the favor by biting back the runt of the litter who tried to bit me.”

At that those people jeering were turned red with anger and embarrassment as one of them spoke, ”Come and say it to my face and I will flay you alive.”
