Military

My plans ran so well.
Thanks to that woman, I have the way to join the royal army.
Now I'm in the principal's office, sitting in front of a woman I really don't want to see her face.
"So... Congratulations." The woman smiled.
Very annoying congratulations. I just got annoyed after hearing it.
"Never mind. What do you want from me?" I asked quickly, hating to be in the same room as him.
"Hey... don't be so cold. It's your fault for being deceived." He mocked.
I can't stand it.
"If it's nothing to do, I'll go." I got up from the chair.
"Wait a minute! This is yours." She threw the shirt folded neatly and put it in the plastic.
"What is this?"
"That's your military uniform."
Oh ... the symbol that recognized me as a slave of the state.
I don't like it.
The military uniform was dark green, with all the trimmings, it didn't look bad.
"After school, put on that uniform. We are going to the royal palace. We have to report to King Avanindra."
Huh...
My peaceful days are completely gone now.
I looked at Mrs. Daiva sharply in disapproval.
Mrs. Daiva, who felt she was being watched, began to threaten, "Remember your words. You're a man, right?"
Ugh... saying that makes me hate her even more.
Never mind, then I can't hold back my anger and destroy this school, I'd better go now.
I teleported out of the principal's office.
[After school]
When the disciples returned to
their respective homes, I changed my uniform into a military uniform in the bathroom.
I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror, stylish. "Pretty good .... "
Looks elegant.
Following what Mrs. Daiva told me about the meeting place after school, I immediately teleported to her car in the school parking lot.
"You're finally here. What took you so long?" She asked suspiciously.
"None of your business."
"Then, let's go now. The other members are waiting there." Then he stepped on the gas slowly.
The routes taken to get to the royal palace are all major roads. Finding the highway very congested, Mrs. Daiva grumbled.
"I didn't think the streets would be this congested."
I think she's been late before when she answered the king's summons.
I looked down at the street we were walking on. She's right. I don't know why it's so crowded today.
At this rate, I'll be stuck in a very annoying situation. Sitting still in the car isn't bad, but if it's too long it can make my a*s cramp.
"You need help?" I asked her.
"What kind of help do you offer?"
I had long known the location of the royal palace from the books in the city library. So, it would be quicker if I helped.
"This kind of help."
I snap my fingers.
Ptak!
Medium-sized bubbles began to envelop the entire body of the car, in an instant, the car and its contents were sucked into something that couldn't be seen.
Plop!
The sound of bubbles popping rang out in our ears, as soon as the car we were traveling in appeared in front of the royal palace.
"We're here."
It took her a moment to answer as she was a little taken back.
Yeah... I didn't remember that either.
"Teleport huh? I guess you can only use it for yourself." He took a deep breath.
"Not really."
"Never mind. Come on down. The king is waiting."
We got out of the car together and were immediately greeted by someone I didn't know.
"O, Mrs. Daiva! What an unusual way of coming. Is it thanks to the child you told me about?" he said then bowing deeply. His voice was a little hoarse as if out of breath.
He was old, but with a tuxedo and long coat on the outside, he looked dashing.
"Who is he?" I asked Mrs. Daiva.
"His name is Wastu. He is a loyal servant of the kingdom. His family has served the royal family in the palace for hundreds of years. You see, right? He is so old."
Oh, I see...
"Greetings. I am honored to be introduced by Mrs. Daiva myself.
Let me take you two to the front
King Avanindra."
"Good afternoon, Miss Daiva, Aray! Long time no see." Again someone greeted us.
But I know this one. Devdan the Chief student council. He also wears the same military uniform as me.
"Ah... Devdan. You came with the others?" asked Mrs. Daiva while looking for the other nine members.
"Yeah. They're all inside. I came here because I heard you were coming with a new member, and I'm sure it was Aray. I think I was right."
"I'm amazed that your guesses are always right."
What Mrs. Daiva said is true. I also feel he can predict everything.
Together we entered the royal palace with Wastu as our guide.
After passing through a long, large hallway with many strange paintings on display, we climbed the stairs which were also filled with photos of members of the royal family, until we finally arrived at the royal hall.
The king's throne is empty. Hasn't he come yet?
I saw a lot of people I didn't know gathered in one place.
I don't want to stand out, so I'll be quiet as usual.
As we walked towards the crowd, they started whispering about something.
"So he's the youngest candidate for the royal army? How old is he?"
"I heard 16 years old."
Oi, oi ... who told that? Now I look very conspicuous.
"Hm... You're very famous apparently." Devdan whispered, smiling.
I suspect that he spread this.
When we reached the middle of the royal hall, suddenly someone appeared from behind the crowd, walking towards me.
His body was big and stocky, his face could be said to be scary because burn marks were scratching his eyes, leaving scars that were very clearly visible.
Who is she? Aren't all high school kids here?
But his military uniform was blue, different from the others.
"Middle Admiral, Badhra ..." said Mrs. Daiva.
"Yo, Daiva! Is this your protégé who is said to be in the royal army at the age of 16?"
"Yes."
Badra laughs. "No kidding! A kid like him wants to be in the royal army? Are you sure you didn't make the wrong choice, Daiva?"
"Of course."
Oh? I was touched by her confident answer.
"Look at that thin body! Didn't your parents feed you?" he said while placing his index finger on my head.
This guy is very frank, I don't hate him, but for some reason, he just annoys me. Maybe because of his ugly face?
"Mrs. Daiva...is this person strong?" asked Devdan, whispering.
"I've fought against him once, and my sword broke due to its very hard body. But... hm..."
Mrs. Daiva thought for a moment. "How should I call him? He's strong but too stupid."
I laughed inwardly.
There's no need to fight first to know how stupid this guy is, even from the first time he spoke I knew it.
"Hey, brat! Do you want to fight with me? This will be the royal army's entrance test at once." He looked up, glaring at me.
Ah... I'm getting annoyed myself.
"Alright. With pleasure. I haven't fought in a long time."
The other meeting participants started to look worried about me.
“Wouldn't he be battered? His opponent was a Vice Admiral….”
"I feel sorry for him. The first day he came to the kingdom, he was immediately beaten."
Whisper after whisper more and more heard.
But in contrast to those who didn't know me, Mrs. Daiva and Devdan smiled, as if they were going to see someone made a clown in the palace today.
And of course, it wasn't me.
"Oh? You're brave enough for a weak boy." He mocked me again.
"You talk so much . . . why don't you just get started?" I've had enough of his snarling, decided to speed up the fight.
Badhra smiles evilly. "If that's what you want, I'll crush you quickly."
"Ah... noisy." My hands move on their own, scratching my ears, removing the dirt created from the sting.
He looked a bit annoyed, started shouting like a fool,
"Petrification!"
His body grew and hardened like a rock. His muscles bulged violently as if they were about to tear his uniform.
Badhra runs straight right towards me. "Hyaa!" shouted.
He's really stupid.
When he pushed his hand to hit my face,
"Reversals."
The same moves when I fought Mrs. Daiva. Our bodies swapped positions, making the punch hit empty air udara
"Wh-"
I immediately touched his back to deliver a second attack.
"Restructure."
That one word changed the structure of the blood flow in his body, sealing some of his vital points where magic flowed so he couldn't move.
His body instantly stiffened, completely like a rock, falling lying on the floor of the royal hall.
I walked up to him, but the tip of my index finger on his forehead and said,
"You're... So boring."
"H-How is that possible?" he asked with difficulty as he opened his mouth.
"Now you can see who's the clown." I smile.
Suddenly the royal hall shook due to the screams of the participants who saw my fight.
"Crazy! He won! Admiral Badhra even looks like a clown!" one of them shouted.
All participants laughed at the joke. Likewise with Mrs. Daiva and Devdan who laughed hearing that.
Well... I guess it's not a bad joke.
"King Avanindra is coming!" cried Wastu.
Everyone present immediately lined up and knelt before the king, and for some reason, I also knelt down.
I felt a tremendous amount of pressure from him.
The king walked up the small steps, sat gracefully on his throne, watching us intently.
King Avanindra.
I wonder what kind of person he is.
