Heavenly Saga

Chapter 282: Captain

After traveling for weeks from the Walkiria Kingdom, Kraftvoll and the others were finally able to reach the military camp of the Verrater Academy in Rote Linie. After he reported to the headmaster, Kraftvoll was suddenly given an invitation to become one of the officers of the military camp of the academy.

'Can I do that kind of responsibility?' Kraftvoll thought to himself after receiving that invitation from Teacher Zorn.

While he was wondering what to do, the images of the little girl and boy suddenly showed in his mind. With that thought in his head, both of Kraftvoll's eyes suddenly became determined that before since he finally found a reason to take the position.

A moment later, Kraftvoll said with his determined voice, "Teacher Zorn, it would be my greatest honor to fight as one of the officers of the military camp of the great Verrater Academy."

Teacher Zorn and the other strongest seishin practitioners of Verrater could not help but smile at Kraftvoll's answer. Upon hearing Kraftvoll's acceptance, Teacher Zorn happily said to him, "That's the spirit, you brat! If we ever see any hesitation in your eyes when you answer just now, probably we will not accept your acceptance. A little tip for you, you must not hesitate in the war for even a moment."

"Thank you, sirs and ma'am!" said Kraftvoll as he saluted to the three great seishin practitioners of the academy.

After seeing Kraftvoll do that, the headmaster said to him, "You will become the captain of the Golden unit composed of all the representatives of the 210th class that was currently here. Report to Teacher Kyleen, the 9th regimental commander of the Verrater Academy, at once!"

"Yes, sir! We'll take our leave, then!" Kraftvoll said in response to the headmaster.

After saying those words, Kraftvoll and the others went toward the others who were not beside them.

As they were walking, Prince Aragorn said to Kraftvoll, "We will be in your care, Captain!" said the elven prince while they were walking together. 

Kraftvoll could not help but be happy with his position. After all, he was granted by it even though he was only seventeen years old. Princess Kyomi and the others joked around until they reached Godwin and the others.

"Where did the commander put the five of you?" asked Godwin as soon as Kraftvoll reached the camp of the 210th class.

Princess Kyomi was the one who answered him saying, "From now on, you must call Kraftvoll as your captain. He was assigned to be our captain in a special unit under the 9th regimental commander."

Godwin, Sabina, and Aredhel could not help but be excited about the development. Godwin was the first one to react to the news. He declared to Kraftvoll and the others, "You're going to be our captain, First Brother!? If that's the case, then I will be your lieutenant!"

After hearing Godwin, Prince Aragorn decided to make some comment to his declaration. He sarcastically said to Godwin, "You? You want to become the lieutenant? Then if you must, I better kill myself now. After all, we're going there anyway if you ever become one."

After hearing the elven prince, Godwin could not help but be pissed at what he said. Despite what he was feeling, he could only say, "Yo-you! I will-!"

Before he could even finish what he was saying, Kraftvoll decided to interrupt the two of them. He said to his closest friends, "Okay, enough for that. The commander ordered us to report to 9th Regimental Commander, our previous homeroom teacher, Teacher Kyleen."

"We are under Teacher Kyleen? Let's go now! Or else she will scold us very hard. I'm sure all of you know her attitude for being tardy!" said Princess Kyomi to the rest of the gang.

After hearing the human princess, Kraftvoll and the others decided to go to the camp assigned to Teacher Kyleen at once. Among the eight of them, the three misfits were the ones that were rushing the most.

Teacher Kyleen's scolding graved a little trauma on their mind so they wanted to avoid that feeling again.

After rushing for about a couple of minutes, Kraftvoll and the seven representatives of the 210th class were able to arrive at Teacher Kyleen's camp. Upon reaching the camp's entrance, Kraftvoll shouted at the top of his lungs, "Regimental Commander! I came here to report to you as the captain of the Golden Unit!"

"All of you may come in!" shouted Teacher Kyleen in response.

With that cue of her, Kraftvoll and the others entered the camp without any reservation. Upon seeing Regimental Commander Kyleen, Kraftvoll and the others saluted as soon as they could.

A moment after seeing their salute, Teacher Kyleen said to them, "Carry on."

After hearing those words, Kraftvoll and the others stopped their salute to talk with their previous homeroom teacher, Teacher Kyleen. Before they could even say a word, Teacher Kyleen was the first one to talk.

She calmly said to the eight of them, "I heard the situation from the commander. Before I give your first task, I think we should decide on the person to become the lieutenant in your unit. That person will assist the captain and he or she will replace Kraftvoll if ever something to him."

"Do you have anyone in mind, ma'am?" asked Kraftvoll.

"Kraftvoll, you are the captain of this group. Something as trivial as this must be something that you need to decide for yourself. You can take a long time thinking about it but remember that I need an answer as soon as you can," said Teacher Kyleen to Kraftvoll.

After a few moments, Kraftvoll was able to make a decision by himself. He said to his regimental commander with a determined expression, "Ma'am, I have decided about the person who would become my lieutenant. Concerning this, I have decided to choose two people to become an elite unit."

"Enlighten us, then," said Regimental Commander Kyleen upon hearing Kraftvoll.

"I want to make Aragorn as my First Lieutenant. And I want to make Kyomi the Second Lieutenant," said Kraftvoll.

The other students of the 210th class did not even question Kraftvoll's decision. After all, the experience of these two classmates of them in terms of leadership was far superior. 

"Since it seems like there's no objection from the others, then I will give you now your first mission as the Golden Unit of the 9th Regimental Battalion of our Verrater Academy," said Regimental Commander Kyleen to the eight of them.

"We await your command, Regimental Commander," Kraftvoll said in response to his regimental commander.

After hearing Kraftvoll's response, Regimental Commander Kyleen began her mission briefing. She said to them, "Your first mission is a reconnaissance mission. There's intel that told us that there is a suspicious movement of the Dark Alliance within the Quietus Ravine. Check what's happening there and gather as much information as you can."

After hearing their regimental commander, all of the students under Kraftvoll could not help but be nervous about the mission. Even the elven prince could not help but worry because this was going to be his real-life experience of the battlefield. Among them, only Kraftvoll remained calm due to his previous experience.

The regimental commander continued his briefing saying, "Compromise the mission if it will endanger your life. You're number one goal is to return without any casualty. Start the mission at eighteen hundred hours. All of you are now dismissed."

Without saying any words, Kraftvoll saluted to Regimental Commander Kyleen. Soon after Kraftvoll saluted to her, the other seven behind Kraftvoll also saluted to their previous homeroom teacher.

"Carry on," said Regimental Commander Kyleen upon seeing their salute.

With their regimental commander's cue, Kraftvoll and the others decided to go to their own camp to prepare for their mission.

In the middle of their way to their own camp, Kraftvoll said to the elven prince, "Second Brother, let us talk privately for a moment. You guys can go ahead of us."

Upon hearing his First Brother, Prince Aragorn decided to follow Kraftvoll without saying anything in return. Meanwhile, the other seven students of the 210th class decided to just follow Kraftvoll without asking anything as the elven princess did earlier.

After the others left, Kraftvoll decided to began talking to the elven prince. "Second Brother, do you know why I chose you to be my First Lieutenant?"

The elven prince decided to shake his head as a response. Although he had some idea, the elven prince decided not to assume anything.

"Although Kyomi had some excellent skills in terms of leadership, she still lacked something to become my second-hand. Unlike her, I have some confidence about your level-headedness in a very bad situation," said Kraftvoll to his Second Brother.

Prince Aragorn now understood Kraftvoll's mindset when he chose him. Earlier, he thought that it was because he was the Vice-President of the 210th class but he was proven wrong.

"Now that you know my reason for choosing you, I want you to promise me one thing."
