The sun slowly rose from the east, as the two cadets still stayed alert with bloodshot eyes. They carefully watched their surroundings for any threat.
After the sun fully rose, they finally relaxed their tense nerves a little as they knew that Night Rakshashas were nocturnal animals. As they watched, fatigue eventually overwhelmed their cautiousness, making them both fell asleep.
...
Leo woke up around the afternoon. He sighed as he saw his friend’s injured and bloody face. He drew nearer to wake him up, as he knew that staying further in the forest was no longer a good idea.
It was not a pleasant experience, but Clark still forced himself to wake up.
“Leo, you’re already awake?” He asked, as he forcibly cleared his sleepy head.
“Yes, bro. Let’s wash up and leave this forest for good,” Leo answered. Clark agreed without a word of objection, as the
Swoosh!! The Night Rakshasha moved with its usual breakneck speed, as it suddenly closed in rapidly.Not even thinking first, Leo quickly turned around while swiftly unsheathing his sword, as he unleashed a tyrannical backward slash with the maximum speed that he could muster. The big cat's confident movements faltered a bit, as it was certainly caught unprepared. It widened its eyes in shock, it didn’t know how these weak humans still got the endurance to be so alert and fight back.Despite being shocked it still reflexively retreated, but it was a little too late. The sword still connected cutting a bloody wound across its chest. Before it could recover its composure, it suddenly hissed loudly again in pain as it received another blow to its belly.Its belly was exposed, as it preferred fighting while standing upright like a human. This blow was not from Leo, but from Clark as his friend was simply not that
They slept for the rest of the night peacefully, without any pressure. Clark dreamt that night of himself becoming the ruler of the whole world. Everything felt blurry to him, but he captured that all the presidents became his subordinates, as the world prospered under his rule.He aspired to break King Solomon’s record in the bible, of having the most wives and concubines in history, and that’s exactly what he did.All the Presidents provided the most beautiful maidens from their countries to him, as he selected 2000 from the maidens. He directly broke Solomon’s record, even doubling it.… He finally woke up, feeling weird and puzzled. “I’m not sure that’s me, I don’t run after skirts. I guess staying with Leo influenced my sweet dream, adding the ridiculous wives’ part to it”.
Not too long later, the legendary warship “The Megalodon” finally arrived as it deactivated its stealth systems, becoming visible. It lowered ropes to the cadets, as they both quickly climbed the ropes and entered inside. Sergeant Modric personally welcomed the cadets, as he stood, waiting at the hatch. He was surprised, as he felt a familiar presence from the both of them.“You both had a breakthrough,” he asked. They nodded without hesitation, as they saluted him. They had no reason trying to hide their breakthrough in strength, the republic always welcomed high-grade soldiers with open arms.“Good morning Sergeant,” they finally greeted.The sergeant smiled as he responded, “good morning sergeants to be”.He immediately changed the way he addressed them; He dropped all airs, as he spoke casually with them like equals as they went deep
Clark and Leo were relaxed, as they leisurely watched the new famous cartoon series, “Tom and Jerry Return”. This series was a continuation of the famous blockbuster cartoon, Tom and Jerry.The difference between both series is that the plot is different, and a lot of high-grade technology is utilized in it to enhance the experience of those watching it.Movies are far more interesting this age, due to the huge technological adaptations made to them.It was just a pity that at this age, practically everyone had a muscled-filled brain, falling in love with only the professions that are related to the military. You hardly see a kid that will proudly proclaim that he wants to become an artist in the future. Instead, they'll all want to become soldiers. During the duration of their 5-year course cadet training, they were practically cut off from the rest of the world to undergo training. Thankfu
Clark woke up in his familiar room, to the alarm ringtone of his phone. He stood up feeling boundless energy and power as he grinned, on remembering his dream the previous night.He didn’t linger in one place foolishly though, as he knew that if he was a second late, Captain Spoky would not care even if he met God in his dreams, punishment must follow.“Who dares say he does not fear the Captain’s punishment?" Forget the fact that they were training to be soldiers? Even soldiers with their 1st breakthrough, quake with fear at the mention of Captain Spoky’s name, when they are wrong.“His punishment is basically walking through hell”. He muttered dramatically, as he quickly stood up while trying to distract himself from the thoughts revolving around his head. He had his bath, did every preparation
He selected an exotic sword, a pair of exotic daggers, 2 rapid-fire automatic pistols, a 2-form gun, and exotic armor.“I’m ready man,” he thought excitedly after getting the pieces of equipment he wanted.“This is what it feels like to be badass," his expression slowly morphed into a grin. "Man, let’s do this”.The automatic pistols he selected this time are not like the ones they were given for the second training.These are entirely different beasts, as they use bullets with a very strong punch and can release 20 bullets per second. The 2-form gun is one of the results of the technological advancement of this century. A 2-form gun is a gun that has 2 forms, and they can be changed manually or verbally to the form you want. The 2 forms of the gun he chose are a sniper rifle and a machin
Clark grew up in Vatican City, a relatively small city when compared to other big cities in Sparta.Due to the introduction of implants, children from the age of 10 hardly have any physical friends. After he received his implant at the age of 10, he was exposed to the amazement of the outside world virtually. His childhood friends became more distant, as curiosity overwhelmed all of them. They spent less and less time together, instead, they spent almost all their time on the internet or learning new knowledge through their implants.He made virtual friends online, but never really got close to them as they didn’t meet physically.His situation was slightly worse than that of his friends, as both his parents were soldiers. They hardly stayed at home, as they were always deployed to various places for missions and other assignments by the government.Due to this, his parents also became a little d
Clark quickly arrived in the nearest town, as he inquired about the name of where he was. He found out that this was a town close to Bahamas city.Bahamas city is a highly developed city in the southern region of Araga, more developed than Vatican City. After asking for directions, he discovered that Bahamas city was not where the wristwatch’s direction pointed to. He asked for where the watch was pointing to led and discovered that it was a nearby small town, which deals mainly in agriculture. In this era, it was hard to see communities that rely on agriculture as their main source of income, as all focus was on technology.Despite this, agriculture is still an indispensable part of humanity that provides food for humans. Unless a technological gadget is made that can enable humans to forfeit food, agricultu
