Chereads / His Promised Neverland / Chapter 23 - Head Soldier Test

Chapter 23 - Head Soldier Test

The Head Soldiers were somehow in a mixed situation as they couldn't even know what they should do ...

And standing right infront of them was Theo with a nonchalant expression treating the situation as if like it never happened ...

"I-im sorry but we're to have to report this to the commander ...." Tony said stuttering after witnessing that Theo was no ordinary Head Soldier ...

The others cleared their minds of how Theo was a pathetic thing ... only now to look at him with another bright views ...

He then advanced towards the exit which was also the entrance ...

Although to the other Head Soldiers it seemed like he was fine .. he wasn't actually .. infact he was nervous because they were going to report it to a commander .. a high authority ....

When he reached the exit his smile widened when his problems disappeared in just a nick of time as he stepped outside the arena ... feeling relieved ...

Until he heard a voice from behind that was from someone he knew ...

His head turned back to see who it was who called him ...

The smile he put on vanished as his face showed an expression of a person who was really scared despite having power that is vast even amongst most lieutenants ....

"C-Captain Rose ... how're you doing ...?? I was just about to get some ice cream wanna tag along ..." his mouth felt bitter as he couldn't produce a big lie to convince the Head Soldiers and captain Rose ...

"I leave you for one second and then I'm called to attend to your mess ..." although she sounded a bit angry .. she had a smile on with cold eyes glaring at Theo who felt like those eyes were leading him to the depths of abyss ...

"I'm sorry captain Rose ..!!" he ran up to her at an unfathomable speed as he crouched hugging her legs begging for her to forgive him ....

'Eh ..? this guy' Head Soldier Tony thought looking at the ruckus Theo was causing ...

"Commander Britt told me to get you so we can discuss your punishment ..." after she said those words Theo couldn't help but hang on to her legs a little bit more to receive mercy from her ...

"I will compensate for your mercy Captain Rose ... please!! ...."

She tried to move her legs to walk out of the arena but Theo's hands kept her still ...

'Let me move Theo ...!!' she thought trying her best to be calm whilst her legs tried to move or even twiddle her toes to show if she's still able to walk ...

"Theo we will increase the intensity of the punishment if you keep holding on to my legs like that ..."

Just then he let go with a stiff smile and glistening puppy eyes ...

"So if I let go you won't give me any punishment ...?" whilst he waited for an answer Rose appeared behind him and grabbed him by the collar dragging him out of the arena with his face still with a stiff smile and puppy eyes that looked like his eyeballs were glued to his eyelids ....

"Let's just go to the commander ..."

When they arrived they were immediately greeted by the commander who was sitting in her chair .. whilst looking at captain Rose who was dragging Theo into her office ...

"Greetings commander ... " captain Rose said before dropping Theo to the floor ...

"G-Greetings c-commander B-B-Britt .... I'm sorry okay ...!!" he slammed his hands on commander Britt's metallic table leaving a minor dent in it ...

He tried reasoning with them but he couldn't as his legs gave in and slipped on the table to the floor trying his best to activate his puppy eyes for a longer duration ....

But alas commander Britt looked at him weirdly with her eyebrow twitching and her mouth curled downwards ... trying to make a smirk but couldn't because of being startled by Theo's actions ....

"Head Soldier 60 000 Theo get a hold of yourself ...!!" she shouted following with a deep sigh ....

'Why is everyone bringing up that five digit ... is it supposed to insult me or something ...!!?' he pouted looking at Rose who seemed more calmer that she usually is ...

"We never knew giving you that title could cause such a ruckus but it was expected since they were informed that you just joined .... so in order to avoid all these things .. we've decided to let you take a head soldier test ... everyone is waiting for you ... and I have to go as well .. Rose will show you the way .." after that she disappeared like she was never here .. only for Theo to realise that he was talking to a perfect realistic hologram ....

'Cool ...!! I want that holographic communicator ..!!' unfortunately for him .. only high ranking individuals from the commander rank have the communicators ....

...

Rose clicked her tongue sarcastically looking at Theo who seemed to be in his own thoughts ...

"Ahem .. shall we ..." Rose said with her hands pointing at the door motioning for Theo to walk out ...

"Oh sorry ... Yes Captain Rose ..." Rose led Theo past the other arenas only to enter a room that was spacious but not enough to be big as much as the arena ...

"Eh ..? captain Rose what's this place called ...??" Rose smiled brightly when she heard the question ...

"This room is called the Ranking test ... which is only for high ranking individuals which you're now part of ... but you're a little bit lower in the ranking board ..." she tried to tease but Theo was not in the mood as he kept looking at the hovering flat devices that allowed the commanders and the other ranking individuals to fly without the need of energy ....

"Woah .. this is so cool ..!!!" he exclaimed lowering his voice a bit to sound like a newborn chick ...

Captain chuckled at him for being a weird person ...

.

"Now where should I go to finish this Head Soldier ranking test you speak of ...?" captain Rose led him just in the middle of the room where captains and commanders looking at him and some glaring daggers .. whilst most commanders decided that it would be best if they'd recruited him into their squad after he finished the test ....

"Greetings High Ranking officials ... today we're having a Head Soldier test which Head Soldier Theo will be expected to finish ... " just as the announcer announced in a booming voice .. the ground shook as a metallic robot with four stars on its shoulders ... whilst it's color was black filled with red linings .... ...

"Now Head Soldier Theo .. this test requires one to be much more stronger , faster , and intelligent than the robot infront of you ..... you're going to need at most 500 points to pass this test with flying colours .."

When the announcer finished talking the first challenge began without informing Theo what kind of challenge he will have to face first ...

.

The robot started off with throwing barrages of punches at Theo who kept dodging not even feeling like this was hard ....

"Commander Britt ... you still remember that ..." before the other commander could finish commander Britt interrupted with a serious expression spreading a cold intent ....

"I remember ... once he finishes you can approach him .... just stop nagging me ..." the commander was offended but pleased with commander Britt's answer ...

Five minutes passed with the robot still throwing barrages of punches and with that they kept getting stronger and faster but alas Theo just kept being serious with his slender finger rubbing against his him .. with his expression showed off as if he was pondering about something ...

'If this robot is throwing barrages of punches and at this speed ... it means that this is the speed test .. and to my calculations it should finish in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...' the robot suddenly stopped moving and move a few steps back looking at Theo nonchalantly .....

'I passed the first test .. with how many points though ...??'...

Before he could even think about estimating the points he had obtained the robot started moving again ...

This time holograms of people crying surrounded him with a few holographic soldiers shooting at him ..

He dodged them with ease as he started shooting his own blasters vaporizing all of the soldiers leaving the crying holographic people ....

Just then the hologram dissipated ....

When he looked to his right he could see that the robot finished a second after him making him the winner again ...

'Brains vs Artificial Intelligence ... noiiiccce ....!!!' he shouted excitedly inwardly looking at the robot with a smirk on his face ....

"This means the next test will be about strength ..." he mumbled to himself ...

The robot started moving again and it's steps became heaving as he could hear it's metallic feet clanging against the metallic floor ....

'Okay ... nice robot ... ... come to papa' ...' he rushed towards it with a little speed on his legs throwing a punch straight in the robots face ..

Although he didn't give it that much strength .. the robot flew into the metallic walls of the Ranking test room .. causing a large dent to appear where the robot had crashed ....

'I hope I don't get punished for this ...'

"You have passed the test ... so you're now officially a Head Soldier ..." the captains couldn't help but watch with their jaws dropped as it looked like the test was one sided ....

'I never expected him to fail them anyway ..' captain Rose thought looking at him in a distance ...

...

"I have passed the test . .. just like that ... no reward no nothing ..." the announcer starred at him coldly before replying ... "You already have a badge what more do you want ... candy ." he snorted coldly at Theo who looked at him as if he was a lunatic ....

"Sheesh you didn't have to be so rude .... even lamas are pretty disciplined compared to you ..." he mumbled annoyed at the announcer who had long left the room on his hovering flat device ...

"Head Soldier Theo .. how about you join my squad ... it has the best equipment and training sets ... .. and the most powerful soldiers ..." the bulky commander said rushing at Theo ....

Theo shook his head slightly looking at commander Britt who seemed to be in her own thoughts ...

Captain Rose followed from behind looking at him with a worried expression .. or one could say a sad expression ....

When Theo saw this he immediately didn't give in. . and told every commander in slow words .. "I don't want to join any commander's squad ... except for commander Britt's. ..."

Commander Britt looked at him as if he said something bad and at the same time something good .... meanwhile just behind her captain Rose smiled widely ...

.

He then walked up to commander Britt and gave her a thumbs up before exiting from the room with captain Rose following behind him ...
