Chapter 1: Mission Received Mission Start
Huff, huff-huff (rough breathing)
A long path ahead of me that stretched so far that I can’t really see the end of this alleyway. I was running, why was I running? I hear faint voices all around me giving a quick glance behind me left and right but I can’t make out anyone near me when suddenly I see distorted shapes of something; it looked like a person there seemed to be more than one of them it’s too dark I can’t really see.
Who are they? Why was I running here in the first place? From them? I don’t know but I looking around me I started to see many things that were posted on this screen-like projection all around me almost like having multiple TVs in a room but seeing myself through each and every one of them.
Finally, at long last I see a dazzling light ahead of me blinding me but from them light came a shadow of a figure that look very familiar to me I watched as it came closer and closer to me raising what appears to be some kind of sword in its right hand it was soon distorted by shadows that appeared before me as the blade came down upon me reaching to me and then nothing.
“Wake up! Wake up! Up and add am you lazy F***s! All of you wake up you lousy maggots get up before I shove my boot up your asses get up on your feet!”
Jolting up out of my bed due to the loud thundering voice that rang across the room filled with beds bund-beds to be precise. It even reached all the way here to this small corner of the room from the other side.
“Get your asses up don’t make me repeat myself all of you get on the drill floor in formation now you have thirty seconds you damn mutts!”
Hearing his voice everyone around me quickly jumped out of their beds and started rushing out the door in a disorganized manner bumping into each other as the room was quite dark.
“Yawn~” finally the last F****** day at this hell hole thought this stinking drill week was nevergoing to end.
Yin Chen (Silver) slowly got up from his bed as he rubbed his sleepy eyes and let out a yawn and looked at his clock by this bed before quickly putting on a shirt before rushing out along with all the rest of the boys.
A few moments later after the sun has risen shining brightly in the sky down below the sun lay a large campus building where numerous figures could be seen rushing towards it under the cover shades of the building’s shadows.
*Rustle* Bang! a door was forcibly opened from the other side as a wave of young men rushed through the door.
“Ah man~ finally its over we can finally get out of this shit hole for good.”
Numerous voices rang the moment the guys walked through the doors along with a strong stench of odor that instantly filled the room when all the men cramped into the room.
It is the year 2245 A.D human society has evolved rapidly in less than two century due to a certain event and discovery that happened back in the late 21 century. Earth was facing an energy crisis as human society needed a new life sustaining energy source but could not find such until the miracle that had happened in 2014.
Back during the late 21 century specifically back during 2014 a new energy source was discovered in the once massive but insignificant country.
“Nectorcite” an energy source that not only fuels the ongoing war of today but is also one of the causes of it, First discovered in 2014, in the People’s Republic of China. It was initially thought to have been just an ordinary sapphire stone due to its bright light blue color. However, after its ability to generate massive amounts of power was discovered, scientists exclaimed that it was as if they had obtained the nectar of the Gods, and it was thus named "Nectoricite". Nectorcite soon replaced nuclear power as the most sought-after resource in the world, and worldwide search for the valuable mineral revealed that it only exists in small quantity in the Pacific Rim region, such as North America, Australia, Japan, and China. These deposits are far smaller than the one in China, however, and the once massive but powerless insignificant country quickly rose to prominence after every major country in the world offered them vast amount of fund in a joint mining operation. Nectorcite is a highly coveted and potent resource, not only does it produce massive amounts of power when under high temperature and pressure, the new "Quantum Reactor" powered by Nectorcite also has weight reduction properties. Originally used on Nectorcite mining transports and heavy mining machinery, this property is what made and airships and other technological advances present today possible.
And like most things soon this energy source also found its way into the ways of warfare as Nectorcite also has a large number of military applications, from weapons such as Energy Swords and Linear Rifles, to the ship-mounted energy Cannons and defensive Energy Shields.
The dispute over this resource soon lead to conflict the “One Year War” the war that took millions of lives even more soon than the two world wars combined, the scars that was left on the earth from that war can still be seen even today but not so noticeably as the event that ended the war especially that event which ended the war but was the event forever changing the world as humanity knew it.
The event known to the world today as the "Xianglong Crisis" where one of the largest Quantum Reactor plant facilities stationed at Hong Kong was attacked resulting in a worldwide catastrophic event where the explosion of the plant caused by a current of unknown energy from another reality poured into our world which caused the landscapes to shift, entire cities were sunk by earthquakes, tsunamis and leveled by storms resulting in the loss of lives even more than what was lost during the war our world forever changed from this tragic event.
But from that tragedy that almost ended our civilization however we as humans adapt and survived using the very power that almost end us, we paved the way forward to our future using that power and succeed.
We have unlocked the key to unlimited energy for humanity as a whole and our understanding of the world grew as our technology grew with it as time passed even while the rest of the world was scattered and divided, our nation prospered entering a golden age of great technological advancement and human evolution.
At least that’s what we tell ourselves.
“Evolution huh……what a farce.” Yin Chen mentally sighed in his head.
“Even though the techs improved over the ages yet what we humans do hasn’t changed and the Wars we fight in never change, the shit we do still remain the same, as Soldiers we defend what is ours and take what belongs to the enemies.”
Yin Chen mumbled in his head as he turned on the water in the sink.
“I feel really tired today for some reason.”
Yin Chen looked at himself in the mirror in front of him for a slight single moment before immediately raising a fist but before he could swing something blocked his sight as his vision turned dark and he felt someone grab his balled up hand with force trying to prevent him from moving his hand.
“Whoa dude easy now we can’t have you breaking shit again I’m going to guide your head down real easy now okay?”
The boy behind him who was the one who grabbed his hand was covering Yin Chen with his left hand as he guided Yin Chen’s head downward and when his removed his hand what laid before Yin Chen’s eyes was the sink.
“You ok now?” The boy behind him asked while patting his back.
“Yeah I’m fine thanks for that.”
“Sure not a problem though it would have been a problem if you had broken another mirror again how about this why don’t I stay with you here and guide you out when you’re done?”
“Sure I appreciate that.” Yin Chen said keeping his eyes to the sink as he set on about his business.
Yin Chen hurried and finished doing whatever he needed to do, put on his uniform and went down stairs when he finished packing what he needed. As he walked down the stairs he saw
A young boy around the same age as him but is really in fact not that much older than him being the age of 18 with part of his long hair tied in a ponytail while the rest hanged from the side of the tail in a white uniform with green coloring on the vest’s chest and shoulders paired with black pants, even with the uniform on one can still see his slim but well-build muscles that is hidden under his shirt.
“Morning Mengqi early as always.”
“Not at all but you seem to be a little late today what’s wrong feeling alright?”
“I’m fine no need to worry”
Yin Chen shook his head as he placed his stuff down right next to Mengqi on the open field as they began chatting not long afterwards after a couple of hours the two were in a high speed train looking out the window overlooking a grand site of columns and rows of skyscrapers of the city metropolis that they were currently in right now.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
The rail trains rides are free and they can speed up to nearly 150 mph (mile per hours) and its near their academy.
The rail train runs almost nonstop to the next stop it helps save time as well for them. Arriving at the stop that they need to go here in the fortified academy base known as “Daxia Alliance Academy” it is a city controlled and run by the United Nations with the goal of building better relations with each other here as well as for their own technological developments.
“In short, we are nothing more than genie pigs for their own gains huh, sigh~.” Yin Chen grumbled under his breath while looking out the window.
“Hmm Yin Chen did you say something? Mengqi asked Yin Chen but didn’t get a response from Academy but with his hearing he heard what he said perfectly but he didn’t pursue the subject.
They casually spoke other topics as they walked through train station and to the front gates to their academy alongside the few dozen students walking through at the same time.
“Ah it’s finally time for us”
“Yup everyone in our class is pretty excited about today because today is the day we all have been waiting for.”
Mengqi replied as he stood behind Yin Chen with his hands to his hips coming up behind him nodding in agreement to his words.
“Yeah just kind of wished the chance came for us a little sooner though felt like forever for this day to come so I can get out of here.”
Yin Chen thought in his mind as he started walking again to the main school building with Mengqi following from behind before he even reached the front of the building they heard voice calling out to them or rather to a single person who was bathed in stares and gazes from student walking around as well as students that were catting in groups turned to stare.
“Hey you’re back! Everyone is waiting for you back in the classroom!”
A male student called out to them while running up to the group a 160.0 cm (5 ft 3 in) tall male student in the same male student uniform but his has Purple colorings and a Gear emblem on his chest and shoulders contrast to the group’s emblem as it is of a armored Knight’s head with short Amber hair and Brown eyes.
As the boy rushed at the group Mengqi stepped out in front holding out his biceps as the boy couldn’t halt his steps fast enough he went face first into the hard steel-like biceps of Mengqi.
“Hey Tony what’s the hurry? class has not started it has it? Not till another half hour, what’s the hurry?”
He looked at the crouching boy named Tony Li who was holding his nose in pain Mengqi has training since from a young age so his body is really quite built for his age and because of that it is crashing into a wall should one even bump into him. While Mengqi may be smiling his eyes, his Dark-Red eyes carried a quiet sense of bloodlust in them although he did hold back his killing intent it still was enough to cause a shiver to go down the nearby student’s spine.
“Ayia~.”
Tony replied as he slowly rose back up from his pathetic state Mengqi stood at 172.1 cm (5ft 8in) tall causing Tony having to look up at him.
“What wrong with saying a little hello eh Tai?”
As they two glared at each other ready to brawl it out which was common also as it is a military academy there will be fights breaking out from time to time a fight between these two was also something common in their class. Though usually to settle a dispute most of the time the students are told to settle it in the area in the form of a duel so they won’t break school property but things happen.
“I’m going on ahead” Yin Chen said while walking away from the two but his words fell onto deaf ears as the two already were throwing punches at one another causing a commotion as a crowd of people started to gather up at the site.
Class E that was their class, their classroom is stationed in the fifth floor of the main building a pretty decent class the class was seated in rows from high to lowest the lowest are is where the huge massive see-through glass monitors are located which services as the teacher’s bulletin boards though the student’s desk have touch screen panels and holographic screens it still is necessary for there to be a bulletin board to teach. The classroom is very bright not because of the school lights but from the sunlight that was pouring into the class form the massive glass widows these glasses also gave the class a tremendous view of school campus.
As Yin Chen was calmly reading his digital text book on basic control manual as the time passed as students were filling up the class room when suddenly he hear a familiar voice from behind him.
“Hey Yin nice to see you early as usually as expected as the class’s ace student.”
Yin Chen stopped what he was doing and casually turned to face the boy.
Albert Wade an exchange student who came to Daxia Alliance Academy for technical reasons from the Blue-Azure Academy of the UK a close friend of Yin Chen a fine handsome gentle with delicate features, slender lean body with smooth skin standing at 161.3 cm (5 ft 3 1⁄2 in) high but the most highlighting feature was his Red colored eyes and Violent-Pink Hair that gave off a bright shine in the sunlight as it reflected his strong will.
“Well its pays to come early and hey you know what they say; Better Early than Late right? Also is it not standard to come in fifteen minutes early.”
“Jeez so military like I know that this may be a military school but you don’t have to be so stuck up to the book you know you got to live a little man you’ll live a shorter life if your life so damn stressful all the time.”
“Thanks I’ll keep that in mind.”
Thunk!
“Okay class quiet down!”
The teacher exclaimed as he walked into the class closing the door behind him at the lower level as soon as he spoke all the students rushed back to the seats as Albert took his seat in the row in front Mengqi who came into the classroom without anyone noticing already took his seat as well sitting alongside the two. Tony came almost at the last minute and was scolded by the instructor once again.
“Now today is the day that you all will finally transform from being little children into grown-ups you have all completed your basic training for this year now it is time for you to move on into the next stage of your life I am proud of being able to teach the next generations you all have made me proud reaching to this.”
“Sir yes sir!”
The class responded in unison with several of them getting a little wet in their eyes because of the emotion that were starting to pile up during this moment.
“Alright now that we got sad mumble jumble out of the way changed into your gears and assemble at the campus field ASAP!”
“It’s time for the big game, show me something good!”
“SIR!” as the student all gave a quick salute and rushed out the door.
It was the end of their final semester of their senior year for Yin Chen and the others in Daxia Alliance Academy it may be a military academy but it’s not only about military training student are required to have so military training because of the harsh environment that they live in today’s age but they are allowed choices other than a military career as the school does offer other types of programs as well when they finished the required amount of training needed. Although it still is mostly famous in the sense of being a military academy as it produced generations of great soldiers before Yin’s generation it is because of this that the nation was able to survive in this tough environment for over 200 hundred years. That’s is why the soldiers are highly valued in today’s society as they are necessary for their survival that they implemented the system were every student in school must have military training to train them into fighters. Even if they choose a different path they have the knowledge and experience that they will need when they are needed in times of crisis they will not need to be trained and will be able to fight. As it is seen in today’s societies as a great honor to one’s family having a family member in the force signifying to other their contributions to the nation.
And today for class E being it was the end for them and time fully become members of the force.
Yin Chen stood in the field with his classmates as Mengqi, Tony stood in front they were no longer in their student uniforms but in white skin-tight suits greatly reveals one’s body line.
“….Now as we all know the drill already by this point there will be eight test for you all to complete you will be graded according to your performance but let’s give you all a little push in the right direction then, we skip the first few test and go straight to the practical test first Yin Chen and Albert Wade step forward!”
““Sir!””
The teacher stood in his own suit stood in front of the class while addressing the class while holding onto a holo-table after calling the two individuals he press something into his table and the field shifted a spilt appear on the ground and out rose a platform stage behind him.
Yin Chen stepped out of his row and moved to the front. Yin Chen stood in the back row not because he wants to but because one; his looks, anyone would think he was a girl even his own classmates even till now though they know he is a guy they still believe he is a girl because of his body features so it wasn’t convincing even if he has stated many times over the years that he was a guy enough times but looked the perfected image of a women due to his unnatural slim narrow which was impossible for a man along with his slightly thinner arms and long legs and his obvious feminine oval face with gorgeous lips as many have stated (adding which because of the tightness of the suit which greatly reveals one’s bodyline combined with his beauty is a pretty stimulating for any man even for the instructor with their little bro all rising up heading north).
By the way he actually has his own changing room in the school as the teachers could not put him in the boy’s locker room being as it was too dangerous for him to be in there because of a certain “incident”, nor could he be in the girls either but they; the girls didn’t really mind but it was a nightmare for Yin Chen as he was Abu-USED as their dress up doll and they even bought lots of dresses and accessories for him to wear (which he still has hidden somewhere).
Which also caused another “incident” during the school festival a couple of months ago which earned him the title of “Ice Princess” as well as one the ‘Utahime’ (Song Princess) too, an event that impacted the school even made its way into the news even which also was being another factor why the fame and popularity of the school increased but that’s a story for another time.
An event which Yin Chen will never forget for his life no matter what nor will anyone else.
As he moved to the front he didn’t notice of all common gazes of the men which he was used to, but there was a certain cold aura that suddenly appeared in the air, which send a shiver down everyone’s spine causing some people to look around but that presence disappear as quick as it appeared.
Because of the tightness of the skin-suits that is stuck to their bodies it gave off an embarrassing feeling as if they were naked and if they got excited their little brother would be easily noticed but they soon got used to the uniform but because the tightness of the suit if that did happen it would have been pretty unpleasant for the guy
But of course that did not stop the girls from secretly peaking at the guy’s bodies checking out their volumes now would they?
As across the field on the opposite side with only one a wired fences dividing the two fields there was another class on that field filled with student for the regular class course running on the track with a great majority of the female students looking over to Class E’s side of the field as they passed by without Class E knowledge as their backs were turned towards them. Though if one were to listen carefully one could probably hear slight squealing noise coming from the other side and with the slight obvious blush on their faces when passing by Class E, as the boys in the military course ted to have more “volume” than the regular boys in the regular course as the females would say in their little gossips.
Yin Chen and Albert walked up to the front gave the instructor a salute as he returned the salute back before pressing something against his table again and two column box appeared out of the field in front of the two when it unveiled the good within which has some armor pads that resembles protective gear on the shoulder, back and waist along with an array of weapons with something covering them.
“Alright you two know the game so I’m not going to bother saying to much but go out there and make as big of a show as you can up there.”
The teacher said looking at the two.
“Sir!”
After putting on the necessary gear they each took their selected weapon both picking a sword which had some sort of casing over the edges of the blade but seemed to disappear when they entered the field from opposite sides facing each other.
“BEGIN!!!”
“BOOM!!!” as soon as that word was spoken there was a loud sound that overlap the voice of the instructor as the two mechs kick off with a bang leaving a large dust storm where they once stood.
As Yin Chen and Albert rushed at each other with great speed and swung their swords at each at the same speed the two opposing weapons clashed. KLINGG~! The loud sound of the first contact roared out through the school grounds like thunder some students had to even cover their ears because of the loud sound that was produced. But it didn’t stop there the two quickly back away from each other by several feet before resuming each of their offensive the two swords rang with each clash as the two were at even footing with each other till Albert swung vertically downward toward Yin Chen’s leg.
Yin Chen quickly reacted by using his’s back and waist quickly spinning himself left of Albert and swung his blade horizontally at him. But missed as Albert backed away just in the nick of time and after a 360 spin backward swung at vertical slash from below going up. Yin Chen pulled back on his kick backward while leaning back did a backflip and landed roughly just a few meters away from his opponent.
The class that seated themselves in the away from the danger zone all let out voices of admirations to the stunt that Yin Chen just pulled.
The two stood a few meters apart from each other after Yin Chen evaded Albert’s blow as they slowly rebuild their stance preparing for the final blow.
“Yin Chen sure is strong it is not going to be easy.”
“It would seem Albert has improved yet again I even had to move more than usually.”
Yin Chen and Albert glanced at each other questioning how they should move next.
“There is not much time left so~,”
“Most likely Yin Chen is going to finish this in the next blow so~”
“THE NEXT ONE WILL FINSH IT.”
As the two read each other’s mind and moved at the same moment closing in on each other as they closed in on each other they raised their weapons in a position to cut down the opponent in front of them. Just as Yin Chen’s sword was in range, Albert quickly turned the sword swung at Yin Chen with great speed from the left side upward heading right toward.
“Wha-!”
Before Albert could even react Yin Chen while in midair upside up top Albert’s head using his legs for force and momentum he spun around in midair once facing forward at Albert from behind as it was falling down at the same time swung down the sword with both hands.
Albert tried to retaliate by turning to block his sword but it was too late.
The blade stopped just above his head the force of that swing caused the air current to shake as well.
The blade’s casing reappears once again signaling the end of the match and in a few minutes when everyone regained their composer there was a loud cheer coming from all around field which enveloped the field.
