183 Overwhelming might (II)
“Blood-Lightning Vice Captain.” Lurin clasped his hand and vowed once he reached Cain’s side. Whether or not they were friends did not matter in events related to military conduct.
“Explain.” Cain was like a rock, immune to the gazes of the thousands of people around him, focusing only on Lurin and Jortar.
“Shortly after we finished with the encampment, hundreds of students came to our side, and that man began to spout nonsense. He shouted that there should be a friendly spar between the best N°1 Rising Roc and the N°1 Lightning Cadet.
At first, we chose to ignore him, but soon he began to taunt us. His words were full of arrogance, and the way he spoke about us made it seem that the military would only be helpful as cannon meat.
It did not take long for him to question the honor and bravery of us soldiers, something I could not allow, so as one of the best 1st-year soldiers, I challenged him to a battle.”
Lurin’s eyes were full of resolution and courage, something that resonated in the hearts of many soldiers. However, those who had spent decades on the battlefield and the Vice-Captains showed complicated expressions as they heard his words.
“Hmph, don’t twist my words! I never say that the military was good for nothing.” Jortar immediately refuted Lurin’s declarations. Even if he looked like a brute, he was more than smart enough to know what would happen if he insulted the Imperial Military Force.
It did not matter that Jortat was in a Wave University, and his future was bright and glorious. He knew that insulting the Imperial Military Force was a great sin in the eyes of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
Cain focused on Jortar and knew that while the students were wise with words, the meaning behind them was clear to all the soldiers. However, that was not the part that drew his attention but the fact that this one wanted to fight against the N° Lightning Cadet, meaning he.
.....
That drew some confusion, and Cain’s eyes went to the people behind Jortart, specifically the youths with shining green hair and fiery red eyes. It did not take a genius to know that the shot callers were those two.
