The Assessment was about to start and Adam took a silent look at the 6th Squadron, which was led by the silver-haired and started walking towards the ceremony hall, Lena looked at Adam maybe because she was able to sense the Adam gaze, or was it just coincident she was looking at Adam was something Rid though, as he smiled at his master perception of people, given even he was able to tell what was hidden behind the weak group like that.
Adam silently walked toward the curtain place and sat at the assigned seat, where 4 more General course Students walked inside, all of them were nobody when Olter entered and the atmosphere changed.
Adam was a good student and friend-like personality in their mind, just that his status made it harder for them to talk to him, on the other hand, they also had Olter, who was born with a nasty character and nobody wanted to get acquainted with him.
The teacher group sighed, given the Olter boy was truly another genius, but given his nasty character, his image in the public was not something, they appreciated at all, after all the trial they have created for Olter, the person personality would not change so easily was proven to then again.
Adam was silent as he sat at his seat and did not even bother to look, while Olter was not an idiot to pick a fight with that monster, where Adam thought something and spoke which shocked everyone sitting and even teacher "Olter, I will take Squadron 6th, I don't want you to mess with them anymore after they have joined my Squadron, I will leave behind No Mercy for those who are troubling them."
Adam's method was direct and with no ill intention, Rid smiled at Olter which made her sweat and wipe his face sweat with a smile, whereas other General Commander students were happy with Adam's act.
Adam smiled in his heart since he knew that they also wanted to help that silver hair girl, but there were certain things they could not do against Olter, only silently killing their intention with their own hand and will.
Olter was enraged and was looking around to vent his anger, but all the boys were leaving their seats and sat around Adam, who smiled at them and chatted with them.
"So, I must say that, Haha, I was truly surprised by Cadet Adam's action just now, but truly it was something I always wanted to do but was unable to." Adam smiled at the simplest one from Adam class and he was called Reinfold, he was a great guy and good commander, where he also did not discriminate the Spare tools as everyone does and proper mindset, Adam was thinking of allowing him to join the same battlefront with a certain Squadron.
"It was nothing, Cadet Reinfold, but I must say, I was thinking of asking you for a request, given we were classmates, I had proper knowledge about your mindset and want you to follow me to the same battlefront. Where I don't mind if you were to call any other squadron and Cadet with you, after all, it is your choice which mattered at the end."
Adam smiled and spoke to Reinfold while giving him the choice to select any Squadron, he was telling him that he won't manipulate him in this team and they will be comrades, which he intended to do from the beginning and giving him the option to call other Cadet, will make him a famous one among the General Class, more like he was making the little guy more famous under his banner.
"You, are you really sure, this thing is too unbelievable, but if yes then thanks, I would like to work with Cadet Adam for the rest of my life. For the Squadron, I had 2nd one in my mind since a relative of mine study there as a mechanic, and I can promise that he is capable one at that." Reinfold did not hide his plan and spoke out his mind, where Adam nodded at that since he was able to see that result from the get-go.
The teacher looked surprised and Uncle Rid made a note and assured Adam, that the arrangement he had thought will be followed up as he wanted, Adam did not even glance at that, he believed the skill of the Rid entrusted him with the job he wanted to believe, that will be done like always.
Calming his head and talking with others, as friendly as he did Reinfold which made everyone feel good for participating today, where the huge siren silenced the whole auditorium, thousands of people were silent at this moment when the media was silently taking pictures spreading around the whole auditorium.
A man with a broad chest and powerful presence walked silently on the audit, he looked around, and clear his throat as his powerful voice vibrated the auditorium "Welcome!" it was total silence.
"This moment is something, which I truly enjoy every year, and looking at the comrades who are about to join us, I am here to welcome you guy to the hell alongside me." High Major Ast, the voice was deep and resonating as if their heartbeat were hammering their chest loudly, even though he only spoke a few lines, the whole atmosphere was changed not to say all the slackers were also sitting straight looking at the man in front of them.
Adam was feeling the same sensation at this moment, where he was thinking about, how much this man has to fight on the battlefield to gain those voices, where his squadron was the one who had the least death rate, but still, he had lost 7200 of his soldier. Adam had researched over every topic covered in his Arsenal, renew in what kind of situation he had to take what kind of decision, and that is the reason why he had done his job, which was together as much as in Intel on anything and anyone.
"Every day, Yes! every day, when I look at all the bodies piling up in my barrack, I could not see the end of this war coming any closer than it was before, looking at you guys who are so confident, I truly started to envy your simple-mindedness."
"That is something, I had to protect at all cost would be thought that gave me the courage and mindset to work, I hope General Class students are also prepared for that too, after all, we will be sailing in the same boat and the same sea, believe me, if you are not prepared, go home already, we don't have a spare soldier for you guys at all. After all, I will end this war, even as soul, I will haunt those damn intruders to their home planet and make sure you guys are safe." Adam smiled and knew the men in front of him were spewing garbage telling them about the haunting, but for some reason, he also wanted to trust that conjunction of the man in front of him.
After the long speech, High Major looked at the students and started to call their men's, where the media started to cover the detail of the ceremony of this, but the other student were just for show, their main attraction was Adam.
Adam name was called, silence a complete silence Descended the entire auditorium, even a pin drop voice could be heard around all the auditorium in that period of time where a reporter mistakenly drops his pen, due to which surrounding people ended up looking at him as a reaction, this kind of scene was rare for a large auditorium like that.
"Now Adam Von Alark is called to the stage." Adam smiled and started walking to the stage, he was quick on his feet but did not seem to be in hurry, there was a light voice of his footsteps which were vanishing as time passed, his light robe and blazers were dancing in the wind.
Adam's blond hair was dancing, while his body was straight in the eye of the reporter and watchers, even Olter has to sigh, given Yes! Adam was looking dazzling in this ceremony and even though he acted rough, he has to admit that Adam was truly right to be called genius not to them, given this title doesn't suit them.
Comparing was human instinct and they always tried to act like that, and the best example for them to compare with was Adam, so Olter always felt he was nothing in comparison, given looks, smart, educated, sharp, and most of all greatest planner which can save and thousands of lives in the battlefield, that was the greatest asset for Adam and can be his greatest weapon.
On the other hand, Olter smiled in self-indulging smile thinking 'He has never been prideful about his accomplishment and achievement as if he was already on the battlefield, this feeling was something no one in the class could shake off with.' Where Rid smiled and was thinking something at that very moment 'His soul is already in the battlefield when his father was killed right in front of him, I saw his childless self disappearing with my own side, and I think Adam is still stuck in that field, waiting for his real self to arrive beside him, to slaughter some of those aliens.'
It was at that period both of them were correct about that conjecture, Adam truly was left Behind on that battlefield, after all, who arrive from there was not Adam but it was Stark, Adam who was Stark believed, that his real host was waiting for him there.
Adam, after all, does not believe in ghosts and all, but he believes that it might be a true possibility, after all, Adam lost every emotion after that incident and he will regain them back the next day, where he will be able to slaughter those bastard troops.
Media were taking the picture as Adam reached the podium, and looked at the High Major Ast who was standing straight waiting for his arrival, Ast's face reveal satisfaction and eagerness for Adam's arrival, looking at Adam he nodded and patted his shoulder speaking "Cadet Adam, will be directly promoted from Cadet to lieutenant and will join my regime region, he will be in charge of the small squadron and has right to have four Cadet companion to join him in this task."
Adam was also surprised by the second announcement, but it was not something out of the ordinary for those who were waiting for this moment, after all, Adam deserved such post and responsibility, Ast brought his hand and shook with Adam timely response where the photographer took the image of that instant.
Adam finally was relieved and arrived at his seat, given he had been on the edges all this time until the moment he got that badge, Adam looked at his chest and smiled, it was made up of bronze type metal and lettering in the light with two flags of the national symbol, and a Spear mark in between, then decorated with four branches of leaves marking.
Adam gently rubbed it with a look of satisfaction on his smile, after all, he had been working that hard every day for this tiny thing, which was only a symbol that he was reaching closer to his goal, and the real battle was about to start from this Moment Onward.
After the ceremony, Adam with the highest post designated walked over to the place, where Troops and the Squadron were allocated to stand the attention, his arrival stirred the atmosphere inside the place and everyone started to look towards him, after all, it was the period when a genius will be able to take command over a single troop.
Adam directly walked to troop 6 and spoke to Lena directly "I must say, you did have gathered a satisfactory troop here and I hope, we both can work hard on the same battlefield after this day on." Lena smiled and politely nodded at the Adam proposal, given she was willing to join this troop and everything was ready for Adam and his company, Adam then spoke
"All of you are dismissed, I hope, I will be able to see all 27 of you tomorrow on the proper timing. We all will be setting out tomorrow and it will be harder if there will be a latecomer, in this period of time."
All of them laughed since everyone was on the same sync, after all, then Adam took the file on the record of everyone in this squadron, he walked silently reading the detail of the comrades he will be fighting alongside them from this moment on, until they die on the battlefield or went missing, they will be the new team he had to protect from this moment onward.
Lena's introduction was the most impact-full at the front of the record, Adam continued to read, where there was a short boy called Kidd, he was another interesting collector but above all of that was his instinct, after all, at his arrival in that duel area, he was the one who silently told Lena about his arrival in the area, Instinct which was a good quality the battlefield.
There was a shy-looking girl, who seem to have no combat strength but don't be mistaken, she is a genius armored handler, and Adam belief that she is one of the greatest assets on the battlefield.
Other had mostly average soldier status and driving sense of armored mod, but the last 7 of them were more interesting, after all, all of them were greatest in the field of synchronizing if one of them go to fight Lena, none of them would be able to win, but if two or more of them it will be hard to predict who would be able to win that fight, even if Lena successfully find a partner to fight alongside her.
