"Military exercise ?"
I asked a middle-aged man dressed in a typical army uniform. It was quite weird asking to enter military exercise only a few before being deployed on a real battlefield.
"Yes, and it is quite a serious one."
"Serious than champaign ?"
What is more serious than a planet-wide champaign?
"We got a little bit of problem on our hand that related to your rank and unit."
Thanks to my augmented pupil, I could easily detect his hand gesture and eye movement that he is quite nervous and lying but not fully. Seems like there is someone who is very displeased with my rank but not at the level that they can affect it but still at a level that can give a headache to heads.
Just in name only or as a reward, all soldiers in heavy assault infantry of Vanguard division given the military rank of captain. Which is quite rank, but to think there is an idiot wanted to argue the rank of the person who about die within an hour right after entering battle.
"Can I refuse it."
"Sorry, Captain Wera, but this is an order from Major General Ronald."
Well, I got no choice since this is the military, if higher up wants me to fight someone then I have to fight.
"Who I am against, what is available equipment ?"
"You against a private platoon of prince Adonias from Dominaria. Available equipment is all infantry small arms and you can call your own platoon."
Which is none cause I cut off my connection with my family. Typical villain way of handling things, but still If I was that guy, I would even take small arms just to be sure.
"Roger, When will start ?"
"About half an hour later, also really sorry."
"It is okay as fellow noble from a freeloading family I know how hard to deal with my kind."
Well, that is how nobles appear in novels and games I played. There is only two extreme one is extremely sly and piece of shit and the other one is possess too much power for single-family and also trash.
Just like that, I went to the simulation room and begun to prepare my equipment.

"Please enter names of your pieces of equipment please."
"Type-2 combat uniform with dessert pattern, MG-95 submachine gun with HV bullet and HPEP bullet, Black Hawk handgun. Portable High-frequency combat knife, 2 smart grenades."
"Are you sure ?"
"Yes."
Just like that, followed by bright light I entered the virtual battleground with pieces of equipment I choose. Right now I dressed in a simple army uniform from the galactic government which is all of them are bullet and energy weapon resistant along with a trench coat that blocks out a terminal signal.
Along with MG-95 smart submachinegun that can switch ammunition and a large-caliber handgun on my left hand. I am not underestimating my opponent but sending a single platoon to fight against a fully augmented person simply a mockery to the galactic government's technology or they are just stupid.
Eighter way I will get quite fun from this.
-POV Major General Ronald-
"That is why we must teach this one that powers something that can't obtain that easy."
"Oh."
I just unconsciously nodded my head to speech coming from a fat nobleman who dressed in fancy clothes made from unknown material but at least I know it is more expensive than all of my year's salary combined.
As a military man, I am didn't have to do with politics but at least I know we have enough power to put those people in their place but for some reason higher-ups still ignoring those people.
Right now I sitting in front of a large screen showing a picture of a large desert that full of old or damaged buildings. This is a place where a match between captain Wera and the private platoon of prince Adonias.
To tell truth, putting a single recruit against a whole armed platoon with nothing but small arms and calling way of teaching what is hard work someone who got their rank. This is nothing but bullying and hypocrisy.
Especially against someone like captain Wera who is a role model good soldier this time they definitely going overboard. That is why I already gave a command to the staff to record everything and sent it to higher-ups. No matter what happens today I will get my payback.
Then I noticed another group of people arriving in front of the screen. Some of them dressed in a simple lab coat and note pad while others are people with military rank there are even general and marshal doing in here.
Then I saw quite a young-looking girl dressed in a white lab coat over a cute dress followed by a bodyguard walking towards a group of noble.
"Isn't that too many people against one person."
Oh, isn't she a cute one.
"You! watch your words girl do you really think we are unfair here!"
"Where are your greetings? You dare speak a word against the lord's decision ?"
"Do you even know who are you talking to!"
Just like a cat with tail stepped on those idiots began bicker against a little girl like her.
"Do All-!"
I immediately prepared to stop those pigs cause I know those pigs will kill anyone with petty reasons. But I immediately stopped by the girl's bodyguard.
"Oh, then do you even know who am I ?"
To my surprise, I saw a girl replied to those rabid dogs with no change in her expression.
"Heh, I am Count Douglas from planet Dominaria do you really think your small ranked family can afford to offend our family ?"
"Oh, just a count."
"Hey! whare are you doing!"
With a nonchalant expression, the girl took one step forward and immediately pulled out a ceremonial knife then stuck on the desk right in front of Douglas.
Under the watchful eyes of people, she gently pulled the knife handle and showed the golden emblem of the griffon holding sword carved around the knife's tang.
"Then do your Dominaria can afford to offend my brother ?"
Seems like those idiots hit iron plate.
