302 First Day at the ARMY Part-4 (1/2)

Ryuu gawked at Bakhtyar who loved boisterously at the disbelief written on his face as he spoke while wheezing, ”Yes my dear subordinate your older sister did write an extensive research paper on Psychology of People belonging to the group you christened as 'Idiot Corporations.', after all power corrupts Ryuu, every cultivator has some amount of pride and ego, I myself once suffered as such, I was the best of the best an invincible being who should have everything, that used to be my outlook on life, on myself once upon a time until your sister beat it out of me for that I am grateful to her.”

Bakhtyar had a faraway look in his eyes before he turned to Ryuu as he spoke, ”Well you are lot better than them, than me lad, you will do wonders.”, then all of a sudden his face hardened as he spoke, ”Ryuu army life is a very hard one, whether you are the soldiers who will be fighting in the battlefield, or the commander who is not only responsible for lives of his/her subordinates but also partake in the various choices.”

Ryuu looked confused at that as he spoke, ”Choices???”

Bakhtyar nodded at that as he let out a tired sigh, ”Ryuu, you cannot save everyone no matter how hard you try and sometimes the choices we make, the so called necessary evil may force you to sometimes treat your subordinates, your soldier, your family as mere pawns for the benefit of the mass as such you have to make decisions that will haunt you for the rest of your days.”, Ryuu gulped at seeing the somber tone of Bakhtyar.

Ryuu felt himself incredibly lucky at having a chance to converse with someone of Bakhtyar's status, and he knew that it was only possible because of his big sister and he also knew the incredible hard life of the people in the army, from reading as well as getting a small glance of it through his previous incarnation, but he had to be strong as such he had to take drastic measures.

Bakhtyar escorted Ryuu to a camp, which would be his home for a few decades, as they approached they were greeted by the entire camp who had quickly formed line and stood in orderly fashion as they stepped out of the carriage a group of people in armor appeared, Ryuu noted that unlike others who had worn silver colored armor with golden outlines this group of four seemed to have much more richly decorated armor except the one at the front who had a pair of large plume of red feather jutting out from the helmet.

Bakhtyar nodded at that pleased upon seeing his army well disciplined as he spoke with a smile, ”It has been a while Major Frank Ase, how have you been?”

Frank bowed to him as he replied, ”I have been good your grace, how may I serve you?”

Bakhtyar gave a small smile at that as he spoke, ”This is Ryuu a Special Cadet, whom I am placing under your command.”

Frank nodded at that as he spoke, ”Will I test him Your Lordship?”

Bakhtyar looked as if he was tad bit insulted as he spoke, ”Of course you will it is written at the law for Special Cadets, and if you find him lacking you may throw him out, well now since I am incredibly busy I will take my leave.”, with that he left leaving behind Ryuu along with the entire army of 20,000 looking at him curiously.

Ryuu gave a short bow as he spoke, ”Greetings senior.”

Frank snorted at that as he spoke, ”Call me Major from now on and Cadet Ryuu follow me to the training ground.”

Ryuu nodded as he followed after him, as he was walking towards the training ground, he found himself under the crosshair of every soldier present who were looking at him rather intently, making him feel nervous.

As they entered the training ground, a chair was brought near the edge of the training ground which was promptly occupied by Frank who spoke with a small smile on his face, ”Captain Siri Forde, duel with him, the rules are simple until unconscious or giving up, no permanent maiming or death.”
