5 Tutorial 2 (2/2)

”Thanks, brother.” Eddra smiled back at him then looking at the woman in front of him. ”Mother?” he called her.

Hearing Eddra's voice, she took off her hands covered on her face, and shortly, tears formed in her eyes. ”Oh, my eldest and second children. You guys are the only ones normal in this chaotic household,” she started, brushing the tears dropping on her cheeks. ”Happy birthday, my eldest son.”

”Thank you, Mother.”

Raising her arms, she continued, ”Come, Eddra. Kiss your mother's forehead.”

Obeying her mother's wishes, Eddra stood to his seat and walked to her mother to kiss her. When he was about to went back on his seat, his mother reached and held his arm to stop him.

”Now that you're an adult, we should enroll you in the academy immediately.”

'Enroll...?' Hearing the word from his mother, Eddra solved his forced recruitment. Curse his past self for declining this wish of his mother. Eddra thought this was certainly why he was forced to join the army since he didn't become a student.

Because in his nation, the Bancroft Kingdom, if the son were to enter his adulthood, he was given the chance to enter the academy. If he refused to do so, or his family had no power to enroll him in the academy, he had no choice but to join the army. This was behind why most of the population in the army were commoners.

Ding!

When he was about to accept his mother's offer, the plate he was ignoring added its number.
