"You for real?" He asked with one of his brows arched up.
"Yeah!" I replied, giving him a strange look.
"Ha ha ha!" He laughed heartily. "That's nice to hear". He makes a turn to continue going. Has he forgotten he is to stay with me?
Oh! Trying to run away? That won't work on me.
"Idiot!" I shouted in a comical manner. "You're meant to come with me. My place is this way. Don't try running away". I pointed towards the left for emphasis as I spoke.
"I am not running away, I just forgot I was to follow you". He continued to convince me he wasn't running away as we walked towards my place
-----------------------
(Two weeks later)
The sky was blue as usual, dry leaves surrounded the area as people were edging closer to summer.
It was quite hot as most people held unto one thing or the other to keep themselves cool, while others had umbrellas over their head. Towards the mountains, beyond the plains, was a mighty fortress were the military forces of sangotaro resided.
Kenji could be seen sitting under a tree while holding a glass of wine to satisfy his thirst.
'Clink!' A certain individual shoved his cup aside nonchalantly, which leads to the spillage of his wine.
"Couldn't you care a bit?" He asked the fellow who was paying little or no attention. After series of complaints from Kenji, he finally paid attention.
"Don't you think it's a little early to intoxicate yourself with wine?" The defaulter asks.
His sapphire blue eyes were light and strong-willed as usual alongside a nice body scent that filled the air.
"You are as cheerless as usual aren't you Fushi?" He echoed with a heavy sigh.
"Yeah, I'll rather die of boringness than to be in the same shoes as you". Fujishimo replied as he gets on his feet.
"Huff! You are boring as usual. By the way, you could have broken my bottle with your angry expression earlier". A smirk could be seen on kenji's lips as he was taunting him obviously.
"Tsk!" Fujishimo cursed inwardly as he shoots an unfriendly glare at Kenji.
"Yeah, that's the look, kha ha ha ha! You look like an alien anytime you make that face". Laughing uncontrollably, he holds his chest as he tries to control his laughter. Until,
'Splurt'. His wine that remained in the bottle was emptied as Fujishimo poured it away while smiling.
"No, damn it! what are you d-doing, that's my remaining...." He gets interrupted by Fushi, who showed no mercy while emptying the bottle.
"You stutter a lot for a joker." Fushi mocked, before pointing his index towards Kenji's face. "Now that's the look of an alien".
"Damn you, tssch! Do you have to take everything personal?" He asked as he removes his suit that got stained with wine.
Ignoring his questions, Fushi shoots series of questions back at him.
"Wasn't I doing what I was instructed to Weren't you given proper shelter and clothing? At worst, you ate four times a day. Didn't you?" Knowing well that his question was quite rhetorical and out of place, he stopped throwing questions at him.
"Just play your part, shut up and watch". Fushi says as he heads back to the training field.
"You've grown quite well, haven't you?" Kenji asked.
"What are you trying to convey?" Fushi pauses as if he already knows what Kenji was trying to say.
"Seems Hiroshi was right, we truly are like brothers". He said as he stared at his palm.
Fushi walked towards him then grabs his shirt:
"Hit the nail on the head, and stop beating around bushes". He then freed his shirt, as he sits down to listen further.
"Shinsui has been popular in the barracks lately, and I'm sure you are aware of that aren't you?" Immediately Kenji asks this question, the breeze blew several leaves towards them.
"Yeah I heard rumors but, I don't know why his popularity skyrocketed quickly. Do you have any clues?" I inquired.
"Like I said, you are as clueless as ever Fushi. He submitted a project 'automatic rank promoter' last week, in which it would be reviewed and final decision would be made later on today".
"Oh! I had no idea he had something that big to offer". Fujishimo's reaction to it could be viewed paradoxically as he stared at the ground.
"Say Fushi, when are you going to tell us your special power or rare talent?" He asked humbly.
Fushi stands up gently on hearing the question.
"I don't know when it'll sink into all of your heads that I have no special power or rare talent. I'm just a mere human being". He said.
"C'mon fushi! Tell me already, even your dad has. Every single warrior in this barrack has". On hearing the word 'even your dad has'. Fushi opens his mouth in sheer disappointment.
"I wished I had". He muttered, as he jogged further away, before disappearing out of sight.
"Wa--wait. Crap! He left". Kenji sighed slightly as he picked up his suit that was lying on the floor.
"Perhaps I questioned him a lot".
MC'S Pov-(Point of view)
----------------
Training alongside other freshmen was really annoying ever since I found out everyone had a special talent except me.
I didn't care much at first since I was alone from the beginning but, I always felt inferior when everyone showed off their special ability.
Shinsui's IQ, and assertive decision making skill earned him respect among his equals and seniors, William and John were always on the shortlists for promotion due to their skills and strengths. While I just hope to charge through every situation with determination.
I remember General Nazumoto once told me 'Determination has it limits'.
"Oh yeah!" I snapped my fingers as an idea came to my mind. I'll try to ask Dad stylishly.
_*_
As I got closer to my dad's place, I felt nervous knowing we never had a strong relationship. His residence was quite big as he lived in the same place the other generals lived. Although they had different bases.
"He should be at his office". I whispered to myself. For a normal soldier, I had no rights to be seen around here as this part of the barracks were only for high ranked officials.
But since I was his son, certain restrictions were overlooked.
"Hey, who are you?" *A guard asked as he walked closer to me.
"Wait, that's the general's son". The other guard said as he held the first guard who questioned me. "What do you want?" He asked humbly.
"I want to see my dad, if possible, right now". I said in the nicest way possible
"O--Oh y-yeah, this way". The first guard said, almost stuttering as they lowered their spears.
"You have no reason to be weary of me. At least, not of a person who had no area of specialization." I said inwardly.
After few minutes of walking, we were finally at the front of my dad's office. It surroundings were filled with ornamental plants, and some cars were parked at a particular spot that was labelled 'Parking spot'.
The office building was decent but lacked recent fashion taste at it was moderate in appearance.
'Knock, knock'. Could be heard as the people inside stopped talking.
"Who's there?" A voice echoed from inside.
"A special guest sir". The guard that followed me echoed in fear, as he was visibly shaken by their presence.
"So it's you Olmo, you can enter". The voiced eased the tension it created. The door creaked as it was opened slowly and reluctantly by the guard who was still shaking in anxiety.
Probably the high ranked soldiers were gathered----
I almost choked on my words when the door opened wide. Different individuals with different looks could be seen, with dad seating in their midst while the others stood upright.
I saw some familiar faces, it was the warrant officers Clark and Iris. Others I knew not. Their facial expression were as unfriendly as it seemed, probably they were here for a serious meeting.
"Son why are you here?" My dad asked gently.
"I'm sorry for causing a ruckus but, it's pretty important".
"So you really are the general's son". A voice echoed from among the people who were standing.
"Don't worry, I could wait outside till you are done". I said with a thin smile.
"I'm sorry for interrupting your meeting sirs". The guard echoed as he fell to his knees.
"No need to be sober, just make sure you avoid cutting short meetings that are important. Visitors should be made to wait in the guest house". Dad said, as he sighed while looking at me.
The guard's shaking finally stopped as he stood to his feet.
"You all can take your leave except my son." Dad uttered, raising his hand for emphasis.
Everyone obeyed without questioning, and as they made their way out, no one seemed to be interested in looking at me except Iris who had been smiling since I entered. Clark only took a glance at me before exiting the room.
Walking towards were my dad was sitting, a person obstructed me. He was wearing a white t-shirt on a blue jean. He had a forest green hair alongside mint green eyes.
"Generals son huh?" He whispered. Giving me no time to answer, he continues: "You better be worth the hype!"
I looked at him confusedly as he exited the room also. In no time, everyone had evacuated the room for I and my dad.
"What do you want to see me for?" He asked, as he stood up to offer me a seat.
