Chapter 250: Sky Rising Pill
Cain looked straight into the eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Duke before bending a knee and adopting a knight stance.
"Your Highness, Vice-Captain Laurifer is reporting for duty."
The Collapsing Lightning Duke showed a small smile as he saw the solemnity of Cain’s military etiquette. He nodded before waving his hand.
"Rise, Major Laurifer."
Cain’s eyes widened as he heard that. He knew that all his achievements and merits would improve his rank in the military, but he found it hard to believe he jumped past Captain and immediately became a Major.
However, while he was very happy about that honor, he also felt conflicted. A rank in the military was not just a title but a statement that you have made a difference and your hard work secured the safety of the people of the Godslayer Humankind.
Cain became an actual soldier around a year ago, so attaining the same rank as some veterans that put their lives on the line countless times for the safety of commoners did not feel that great.
Luther noticed the look on Cain’s face, and his smile grew wider. The more he learned about the young man, the more he liked this one.
It was clear to Luther that Cain was someone that really loved and appreciated the military, unlike Uriel and his kind, who only wanted to rise higher in the ranks to improve their status in their families.
"Young man, I can see you have reservations but believe me, you have earned that rank. The amount of military merits you have gathered is more than some Majors obtained in their entire career.
Of course, just the amount of military merits is not enough. Yet, you have already done an excellent service by taking care of traitorous garbage and teaching a bloody lesson to those that thought they could look down on the military just due to the power of their families."
Luther’s calm voice removed all of Cain’s reservations about his current rank. The young man rose from the ground and bowed to the bald man before focusing on the Collapsing Lightning Duke with a smile full of determination.
