My Professor is a Bastard

Chapter 34:Hoodwink

Aaron's PoV

(October 17, 2134)

Today will be the day of briefing.

Caspian and I went to the academy.; I met the rest of my students there. Class 1-A is already there too. They look nervous.

The principal wouldn't raise his voice towards you.

Maddison. I looked for her. Then I saw her. MICE! Traitor!

I will always look down on you, you sneaky dirty rat.

''All right, Class 1-A. Relax that stiffened face of yours.'' I greeted the students of 1-A.

Stella let out a deep sigh. Seems like she is suspecting something.

The door for the MCC opened. Class 1-A will be the first to enter.

Louise guided the Class 1-A inside while I assisted them.

''I will be your adviser today. Glenn was sent on the mission.' I smiled.

''It would be better if Professor Glenn was here.''

Arianne stated.

There goes the mistress. Unofficial. Since Glenn only has an eye for Stella, then Arianne is the unofficial mistress. A poor one-sided crush.

''It would be better if you're the one sent to that mission and never come back.''

I heard Stella's murmur. Sad for you dear. Your lover isn't around.

''That girl always is so bitchy. ''I started the conversation. ''She might grab that Glenn of yours in no time.''

''Then she should be ready to protect herself. I'll make hundreds of hole from her body with my Barret.'' Stella said confidently.

''You really are Caspian's friend.''

After a few minutes, the Principal came in.

''Ahhh...The Elite squad of the year. Class 1-A welcome.'' He said. We just met yesterday, but this man is looking old.

''It'll be a great honor.'' The class replied with a salute.

''Put it down.'' He said

''Firs will be, Military education and training. It is a process which intends to establish and improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles. Military training may be voluntary or compulsory duty. It begins with recruit training, proceeds to education and training specific to military roles, and sometimes includes additional training during a military career. Directing staff are the military personnel who comprise the instructional staff at a military training institution. All of you went through this after graduating in Senior Military schools. All of you passed this s**t with my signed name. You get recommended and this school will be your training grounds for the real battle. I appreciate the will in every each of you.''

He improved his speech. I just listened at the back of the class. Here comes his long explanation.

''... The organizers believe that military education can bring some benefits and experiences that cannot be obtained from normal class like setback education. Moreover, participants are able to learn more survival skills during the military education, like co-operations and resilience, which will help participants improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles...''

My eyes will be closing anytime soon. I closed my eyes. My ears, ringing, I couldn't hear what the principal was saying.

All I see is a brown-colored smoke.

''Class 1-A!'' I shouted as the beat of my heart increases slowly.

This scene is very nostalgic.

It's a war. War. War.

''Sir. If all of the students in the academy are to participate, aren't we a lot weaker than the armed forces of Calchimera Republic?''

That question made me open my eyes. That was just a dream.

I gaze at my watch. It was a 15 minute sleep.

''I have already solved that 7 years ago. Three countries will be joining this battle.'' I looked to the principal.

''What are those countries?'' Stella asked.

''The most advanced countries. First is the United Kingdom Of America, they will send one-third of their armed forces. Second country is Britain. They offered half of their armed forces. The reason why they offered it because of Peach...''

The students looked at her.

''...Third country is the Axillian Republic.'' He paused.

''How much?'' Rheanelle asked.

''Three fourths of their army.'' The Principal answered.

''WHAT!?'' the whole class said.

I was pretty shocked too when I heard it.

''Why did they do that?''

''I know. I was shocked too. Axillian Republic is known for being a secretive country. Although it is very suspicious, we cannot disagree. It will be a great help if its not a joke.''

''Now, I'll shall continue with the positions each of you selected. Professor Aaron, the whiteboard please.''

I grabbed the whiteboard and brought it towards the principal.

''This is the plan. It is approved by the world leaders.'' He said. Some of my students will surely die.

I just don't want them to regret the decisions they made when they will be facing their death.

I do not want them to blame somebody or their selves if they will realize how f****d up they are.

I wonder how's Glenn doing in that stupid, cruel country.

''I shall begin with Akira, Ryuu. Your position in this s**t is The Japanese ambassador. You came from Japan and now you want to serve Caylon towards Japan. Complete safe out of the battlefield, ehhh.''

The Japanese student just bowed his head.

This year will be just like the same as the past years. He will criticize the students. And because of that, first-years tend to drop out of the school.

If they dropout just because of simple words, they cannot achieve great things.

''Ayatachikan, Philunkantaar. Biologist? Who needs it during a war?'' The principal is really cruel.

''I have an explanation, sir. After the war, I can study the environmental problems after the war. It'll be a great chance to tell the public about this academy, so we don't need to hide. We can show to the public that Caylon Academy are for PhD students.''

That was a good idea, considering that India is suffering from a deadly virus. Good thing that President Wariam contained the virus after 4 deaths.

''Hmmm....Quite reasonable...Given that your country is suffering from an endemic right now. Plus, Calchimera Republic is the source of advance medical supplies. You can find any elements there.''

Principal can be sometimes cruel, but he actually cares for all the living things inside his area.

''...Next will be Carter, Mhessy. Ooooohhh. the military spy. On December 2, you'll be flying to Calchimera along with Huxley Ambrose and Agarwal, Vanisri from Class 1-B. Remember, being the spy is putting you much farther than the frontline army. You are much exposed to the enemy. Don't go blaming everyone when you are about to die. You chose this path, you blame yourself.''

Guess he had speech for Class 1-A. My students will experience this too.

It'll be a good mental trainer.

''Cian, Xing Woo. Bomber. Not a bad position, but a bad way to die. You can blow all those enemies but also dig into your brain that enemies have bombers too. They can bomb you or your team. Also be reminded that you are bombing from the sky so you can't clearly tell who are you blowing up. Half of it is the enemy and the other half is your ally...''

Being a bomber will kill half of your comrades and half of the enemies. That is actually true, from the experiments they did. All just to satisfy their curiosity of who dies and who lives.

His making the students regret this decision.

''...Eldone, Denver. Neurosurgeon and Cardiac Surgeon. I have nothing to say other than being 73 percent useless...''

Considering the fact that Hospitals in the Calchimera Republic will not allow wounded soldiers from enemy troupes, Doctors will be needed.

Not a bad position, in my opinion.

''Stella Fleandear...''

Stella. Glenn's most precious gem. Look at the lengths his willing to do to protect her. But she will mostly likely be in danger by the time the special break arrives.

''...will be in the left tower of that gigantic kingdom. You'll help and guide your friend Mhessy once the battle has started. She or the other need to be close to the Minister at that time. In case there's something's wrong, somebody can assassinate the Minister on the spot.''

So two of my students will be departing first.

''On the spot?!'' Peach exclaimed. I feel sorry for Peach somehow. She haven't met her father for years and she will ne seeing him be killed by her comrades.

For whatever the King Tarnille did to her was a complete different story of him being Peach's father.

''Yes. So it can be seen as another party during the war. We need to have an emergency plan. Next, will be Jun, Lee Dae. Medevac Pilot. The one in charge in flying an Aeoromedical Evacuation. Kovichkov, Yura. Airship Pilot. The one in charge for the supplies. Kovichkov, Yuriy. Tank Gunner. Most likely to die.''

His rapping. Looks like this is the thing he was busy. Memorizing the lines for each student.

''...Lau, Kenny. Frontline Soldier. What a hero. You'll die in a nick of a second. Rodriguez, Arianne. Nurse and Ambulance driver. Another medic. Tarnille, Peach. Head Commander. Wister, Rheanelle. General Surgeon and Ob/Gyn. What made you think this? I can understand the General Surgeon but no one is giving birth during a war.''

This year is weird. The last years of teaching the first-years here, they were all decided to join the frontline. Some just ran away and stayed in medical, but Biologist? Ob/Gyn?

This is kinda getting out of hand.

''Let me correct you sir. I studied that thing because I know there will be casualties during an evacuation. Who can guess that pregnant women wouldn't give birth during a war. I studied this so I can help those women. Thinking that I am not a child conceived in a labor but a child that was created by scientific experiments. This way, I can boost my self sir.''

I honestly did not think of that.

''Well, you got a point. War isn't just about helping others. Its helping yourself too. Still 73 percent useless to me...''

This old geezer...

''Ahhh. Next one is completely useful. Yorochyve, Louise Anthony. Strategist and Assistant Commander of the 2nd batch of armed forces. Lastly is Zeus, Giovanni. Tank Driver. Used that driving skills of yours properly. Might as well, drive the Amphibious Tank.''

I saw Stella hands. She really must be pissed.

''Your done. Now, straighten your mind and get out. I have a long day today. Your dismissed now, Class 1-A.''

And that was it. Just a few minutes.

Class 1-A got out of the M.C.C.

Still cannot believe why he said.

I walked towards the old man.

''Why did you say that to the students? That was cruel.'' I said.

''I just said that so they won't be regretting their decisions once they faced the battle. I know you already saw this Aaron but looking at your allies dead bodies in that field is no joke. Can you see the 4th to 6th graders in this school? I horned them even above their limits. Now, look at them they are now people who have limitless skills. That is what I said to them in their first years. Their companions have died along that way but they still stood strong. I planted them. Now look what I harvested...''

He always had his reason. Old people are scary when they are about to die.

I called my students via calling Caspian.

In just a minute, the class arrived.

''Behave. Listen and shut unless asked.'' I told them before they entered the room.

''Good day, Class 1-B.''
