At 9 am, Mr Klosen called 5 recruits to enter his office. The five of them are selected based on their performance in class and mock war, and each of them has their own strength and ability to turn the tide of war.
"Morning to five of you. first of all, congratulation for your performance in class and the mock war that we've been training. Because of that, I called you, the most promising among recruit in this camp, I hereby you guys to be promoted" hearing those words make them really excited.
"The first one, Sorel Fudge. Achievement, rank 3rd in hand to hand combat class, rank 2nd in magic class, rank 2nd in art defensive war and 1st in strategy and mock war. Responsible and disciplined is your strength after I been watched you for past these months. I appoint you as 300-man commander... rank Elite" Mr Klosen give a bronze locket to Sorel"
" thank you, I will strive the best for future of this country," said Sorel with responsibility
"second, Afusa Caine. Achievement, rank 4th in hand to hand combat, 3rd in magic class, rank 4th in art defensive war and rank 3rd in strategy and mock war. Such a fast learner for your age, keep it up. I appoint you as 200-man commander... rank Elite" also give him a bronze medal for it
"the third, Ordas of the family De Fam. Achievement, rank 2nd in hand to hand combat, rank 5th in magic class, rank 3rd in art defensive war and 5th in strategy and mock war. You may not the intellectual type, but you will lead your man with your strength. Also 200-man commander ... rank Elite."
"I grateful for that" Ordas bow his head"
"Fourth, Sven of the family Versfalio. Achievement, rank 1st in hand to hand combat, rank 4th in magic class, rank 1st in art of defensive war, and 20th in strategy and mock war. The type of lone wolf, that's your strength and weakness. In war, fighting alone doesn't guarantee your winning, so keep that in your mind. I appoint you 100-man commander... rank Elite" Sven only smile while hearing that, and receive that bronze locket
"we'll see about that, sir" replied Sven
"And last, the only women in this top 5, Irlin Beuz. Achievement, rank 35th in hand to hand combat, rank 1st in magic class, 3rd rank in the art of defensive war. and 2nd in strategy and mock war. Strenght is not your type, but fooling an enemy is what I want you to do with the brain of yours. 200- man commander... rank Elite."
"I'll do my best," said her while also receiving that locket
"Another thing, I'll appoint Sorel as acting leader of yours, you four will work together with him."
"Understand, sir!" answer all four of them
"as your underlings, I leave it to you to choose by yourself. Also, appoint yourself a lieutenant to making your job easier.Now dismissed"
All of them leave the main building with a joyed feeling.
"You guys, can I have your moment, please?" Sorel suddenly speaks with those top 4 recruits.
"I want to make enlistment on our recruit in the building that the first place we registered as the recruit, so will you guys join me?"
"sure thing, leader," said Irlin
"that absurd. Listen, I come here to climb my way to the highest top in rank. And I don't acknowledge you as my leader when you also the same rank as me. Also, the hell I want to listen to you, a far younger than me, I do my own way" said that big muscular with a bald head, Ordas. He leaving that place, with full of dissatisfaction.
"Okay... how about you two then?" Sorel ask Sven and Afusa
"Like he said, I'm too will do it my own way," said Afusa
"Sven??"
"Alright, I'm tagging along with you, leader Sorel. So pity when you ask so nicely, but it turns out backwards" Sven chuckles
"hahaha, thank you. Then, Irlin, Sven... let's go"
Right after those recruits finished their training, Sorel standing at the stage, telling them about what's happen in the morning and who's the commander unit of. Then, they walking to the building and start to enter the unit that they want to cooperate.
The table of the leader unit has placed a tag name on top of the table. Their leader name, and their position. And, as Sven expected, Sorel and Irlin get many people line up in their stand. Sorel is a beautiful man with a long white hair and has a sharp looking face. His body was taller and muscular so all men and women were crazy about him.
Irlin is the plain women but has such a beautiful pair of eyes, Her height was average, a little short that Afusa, whose age 13 with 156cm tall. She has a bob cut hair with coloured of black and brown. She was a happy go lucky person who stands out more than others beautiful recruit.
"Hey Sven, it is seen that you have a big disadvantage here," said cloth face
"What can I say, I'm not the popular type. Besides, in past of strategy and mock war, when I've been selected as acting leader, I leave them alone and not giving them any instruction or strategy while I going attack those enemies alone. So it's natural that they want a leader that can use a "definitely alive" strategy so that they can survive longer in real war than die for nothing"
"I see"
"So, do you want to join them, go on. Don't strain yourself just because you are from the same family as me. I don't mind at all" Sven looking at those stand with full of people
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"It's not for you to decided where shall I go," Cloth face take that pen and start writing," there...all done, I will under your care, boss," Said cloth face with smile
"Hmph," Sven smiling
"Sven, hey man!!" Edward shouting far from side of Sven
"Edward, do you already decided to enter whose unit?" ask Sven
"you can say that again, man. Those guys underling were trying hard to recruit me in their unit, even when in the past they were aiming at me in class"
"hahaha, you should understand that right now in hand to hand combat, you are far stronger than you before, rank 30th~" Sven smirk
"hahaha, thanks to you I guess. That's why I want to enter your unit, where's the document that I must sign?" Edward looking that paper sheet in that table, because there are many papers that blank, were not sign any recruit yet.
"so, how many that already in your unit?" ask Edward
"three... you, me and this guy" Sven answer it with not energetic
"who is that guy?" asked Edward
"He's one of under family Versfalio, I called him cloth face," said Sven
"that's a problem, your time to recruit until this evening. Those number will stay until the next intake of recruits. But it will change if they begging for it"
"it will not happen, you know him, he's even leaving them to 'die' in mock war, just so to achieve the objective, such a selfish guy, but that's fine by me though," said cloth face
"You sounded like he's the worse leader in any unit out there, don't you" Edward glaring at cloth face while grabbing his shirt
"What, did I say something unreasonable?" Cloth face slap back Edward's hand
"Hey, you guys... stop it!" Sven trying to separate them from go any further than arguing
"Is this your place to recruit, Sven?" asked by a big muscular man wearing singlet
The three of them looking at that man with confusion, then,"yeah, this is my stand for recruit my unit" answered Sven
"Okay, so where should I sign for it,?"
"Eh, do you mean that you... " Sven wants to ensure
"Yes, these men and I want to join your unit," answer that man with a smile, pointing his thumb finger at those men on his back. There were 9 of them.
"Let me serve you as your power shield and sword," said that man
"you got to be kidding me, that's Galland, rank 6th in hand to hand combat, one of the top fighter in this camp," said Edward to Sven and cloth face
"Heh, looking at your list and your reputation in mock war, it must be that you have not enough man in your unit, well then, as your strategist, I will overcome for our unit with showing a great result with my grand plan," said a man with long beard
"That's Delion, rank 4th in strategy and mock war. He is also closest to be promoted as well based his performance," said cloth face
"and look at those men, they were a top in any class." Edward whispering at Sven," from right side:-
Arthur-rank 8th in hands combat
Jargan- rank 11th in magic
Frandemoz- 14th in strategy and mock war
Oswald - rank 7th in art of defensive war
Olin- rank 10th in hands combat
Andragoniz- rank 5th in hands combat
Bhorgin- rank 11th in art of defensive war
"Why do you want to enter my unit?? as you all know that I have a bad reputation in mock war, fighting alone is my forte," Sven asked with confuse
"Despite that, all your result in obtaining the objectives were all succeeded, am I right?? all that you need is a strong and reliable companion," said Delion
"Besides, you are the strongest opponent that I ever fight, my intuition said that you may achieve greater in future, so what harm to serve under the strong one, you gain something, we gain something as well," Andragoniz punch Sven's arm
"You can hog all the main target you want, and we will cover your back for you," Arthur said
"with all that, please let us enter your unit, for, with our brain, muscle and magic, we shall claim the sweetest victory in many countless battles, leader," said Galland to Sven
Cloth face and Edward suddenly feels the creeps of joy, for being the witness about all the top recruit in camp are begging to enter Sven's unit.
Sven suddenly smile," you better not slowing me down, folks"
"Yes sir!" answered them with enthusiasm

"Heh, that small unit will soon perish in no time, while under Sven that is," all of them were chuckle
Sven's unit line in left side of the assembly
"Hey, they talk trash about us Sven, aren't we gonna do something about it?"
"Ignore those weaklings, I prefer my teammate in quality over quantity," said Sven
"Our leader is right, just ignore those vermin, Edward," said Galland
Just when Mr Klosen is busy with his talk, suddenly, a messenger come while riding with horse, sprint while entering the camp, causing ruckus among the recruit
His face shown a great terrified, pale while sweating. He's running toward Mr Klosen, and after he reaches him, he wants to spit a word, but his throat is stuck by catching his breath.
"Calm down, soldier, take your time to speak," said Mr Klosen
That soldier, trying to calm down by taking a deep breath, and then release... but his body won't stop trembling.
"Get some water for him," ask Mr Klosen to his assistant
Then, Klosen's assistant comes back with a cup of water and give to him. He grabs that cup with rough and drink with hastily, and then he continues to speak,
"I ... brings the report from our scout, a large army led by the demon general are marching toward us. Many villages have been destroyed during their journey." shout that scout
"What you say!!? how many of them??" ask Mr Klosen with surprised
"twenty-thousand strong at least, they all full of arms and weapon, sir!"
"when they will arrive?"
"Judging their pace, they headed here and will arrive at tomorrow early morning"
"That's not good, deliver this message to all camp and royal city at once" order Mr Klosen
"My friends already go the separate way to deliver this news, I'm taking my leave now, I want to alert the other village too," said that scout while riding his horse
All of the recruits suddenly panic and frighten after hearing that news
"You already heard that we will intercept them here because we are the first barricade in this country. The time has come, for all your training shall not disappoint you. All of you get to your post and make your defence," shout Mr Klosen
"I guess our first campaign is already served at table, right leader?" ask Galland
"You can say that again, Galland. It's time for us to shine" Sven return his question with smile
