The rookies become closer to each other.
The whole squad of Reigner was rather friendly and supportive, but the ones who shared the room had the most friendship with each other. Even the lady who lives in the same room felt like she is closer to Reigner and co than her squad.
There were three fine roommates of Reigner.
Their names were as such - Hasar, Felio, and Selia. All four of them were the same at the beginning of the hellish training. Then, they withstood all slaps, insults, and spars to become reasonably powerful!
One could say that these are the 'appropriate people' at the appropriate time.
Reigner also would stand out and make the whole room awkward if he just refused to speak or get familiar with them. And giving it more thought, this friendship can be like the friendships build up in the school...
Most of these friendships tend to be forgotten as the school ends.
People just go their own way after all.
That's why, Reigner, as a common soldier, got his first friends in another world.
"Selia, do you want to sleep with me tonight? My body has recuperative innate skill!"
"Fuck you."
"Haha!"
Hasar was a rather straight-forward and blunt guy. He carried the overall friendly airs around himself and could joke pretty well. He also didn't hide the fact that he wants to have warm nights in the cold barracks.
The other man was the one who rivals Reigner when it comes to staying silent. As for earthling, it is pretty hard to speak about his 'commoner life' so Reigner usually just stays quiet. On the other hand, he likes to curse at the instructor and when it comes to their duties, then Reigner is the first one to either curse or approve.
"I don't know about you guys, be we women support each other. So I know what is going to happen soon from the seniors!"
Selia spoke like an older sister, her eyes narrowed as she scanned the room. Those seniors are on the first floor as well, but they don't interact much with the rookies other than mandatory spars and some lessons when it comes to shield or lance.
The lady let her hair go loose as it was already night. Then, taking the seat on her bed's edge, her legs crossed. The pose of an older sister is yet another asset of this rookie.
"What is going to happen?"
"That bitch will throw us to the forest soon!"
"""..."""
There is only one bitch, so everyone knew who is on her mind. But the 'mission' in the forest is just too fast. It has been only three months yet they want us to survive in the forest without much preparation!
The daily meals are provided by the good lady in the kitchen, but is there a kitchen in the forest?
Hasar shook his head.
The barracks are cold, but it is still better to sleep here instead of outside! Are the barracks in the forest?
Felio shook his head.
"Damn bitch. She won't provide us with any necessaries at all. We can not go outside as well meaning that there will be hidden food and other stuff... such as weapons in the forest. This is some kind of shitty test to check our survival abilities?"
"Yeah! They want to sharpen us as much as possible! The senior sister said that this is because of the world hope!"
"Tsk."
Reigner cursed at the instructor openly, then his guess became confirmed by Selia. She clapped her hands, then reached out to pat his shoulder as a reward. The lady was brimming with smiles, and Reigner didn't even refuse that at all.
He is single now.
Even if a lady is appearing from time to time within his mind. And it's not like Reigner himself doesn't want some warmth in the cold barracks. He just knows that this is not how it should be done with the 'older sister' wannabe.
After Reigner sent a meaningful glance to Hasar, he turned his attention to the lady on the bed. Yes, she was sitting on his bed which is the first step towards the warmth in the barracks.
"So what's the date for the test?"
"I don't know... But my senior sister said that it is going to happen soon! She even gave us advice to team up, but not too much! We are teaming up, right?"
"""Right."""
It was not the end of the older sister's show!
Selia went for a smug smile, then took out the map. The map had a big circle around that gathered the attention of the surrounding men. Within the circle, there were small 'X' marks in various colors. The blue and red were the most common.
But there were four yellow marks as well.
"Blue is the location of the supplies... The red is for weapons and as for the yellow, this is the location of caverns."
The lady folded the map, then hid it within her chest's ravine! Being prepared by the senior sister and nature, one can only be jealous of her! Naturally, no one took furtive glances but kept their eyes honest.
Only when the map disappeared, Felio blushed and turned to the side.
The rest... was smiling.
"Your whole squad knows about that map?"
"Yes. But most of my squad plans to make women-only teams! I know you are hopeless without me, so cheer up, big sister is coming."
"Yes, yes."
It was night already, so the small fire finally got extinguished. As the darkness finally got its domination, the four roommates hid their bodies in the not so fluffy blankets, then their head hit the already familiar pillows... Reigner then made a small move.
He utilized his power.
[Memory Glass Enchant recipe has been created.]
The most complicated stuff requires a lot to create. This is different when the requirements are lowered... The earthling had tried to create a camera first, or at least something akin to it, but the requirements for it just exploded with the question marks.
But when he thought about a small piece of glass that can store up some images, the recipe has been created.
[Memory Glass Enchant - Lv.1 Recipe
- You can create an enchanted glass that can store up to 10 images!
- Requirement: Glass, 100 Sunshine's energy.]
'To modify the plate, I just had to use the system... I guess I have some energy flowing within me, but before I form the origin...]
The origin is a place little below the stomach where the energy is stored.
Origins are created naturally when one is exposed to raw energy. Since Reigner refuses adamantly the nightmare points and allows Nightmare to control the flow of elements within his body, his origin has yet to be created.
'I guess the metal one is not that bad... And I refuse to believe this is permanent and immutable.'
Reigner closed his eyes, then headed to his own 'body'. The battles with Nightmare were the only way to calm down the reincarnation who lost its freedom. Naturally, Reigner had lost the first one after his hellish training.
But the last battle... ended with the draw!
The persistent Reigner had not fallen and the appearance of the first reincarnation finally had entered his eyes. The first impression caused Reigner to think of him as...
'Serial killer?'
[Khhhh~~]
Nightmare hummed so much back then it was annoying.
