Ceazar rested until it was near the time and knocked the door at exactly 6 pm. -knock knock- " come in"
"Good Evening Sir"
"Exactly on time I like that brat, now let us go to your barracks"
They walked through the hallway all the way to the inner parts of the barracks.
" Now enter the office"
The office door had a sign that read General Robert Whitlock a famous general since he is also known for his strength using the elements Frost and Darkness. It has made him a very dangerous being in the field because he could blend in almost everywhere and strike when he wants to.
' Damn so early and I get to interact with a shot caller already'
"Hmmm, and who are you?" The aura of the general numbed the senses of Ceazar and he felt like death was about to take his life to the underworld. It was getting harder and harder to breath, his breathing was as if he was inhaling needles the air was so cold and even his body was getting colder. But nevertheless he managed to squeeze out a few words. " A .... Chaos Holder SIR!"
"Oh" as soon as the General realized the pressure lessened and finally Ceazar could slowly breath the warm air that he was familiar with. ' This general he obviously knows that it is me, Is this some test or something, Geezus I better get compensated'
" Let me ask you something do you know why you are going to be subjected to an early deployment to the fields"
"Because the element is dangerous in the wrong hands?"
" That is indeed one of the reasons but the one reason I can share with you is that, It is a key to a very special portal, a portal that for some reason is sealed and it has no other one like it"
" Well that indeed makes sense whoever can open that portal can get to the other side, If you don't mind me asking Sir where is that portal?"
"Classified, For now focus on getting stronger and remember to train your will"
' Huh, train my will?? what could that be for? Must be a requirement of that portal too I guess, anyways all I have to do is survive first'
"But still seems to be a bit unfair since we seem to lack freedom as soon as we awaken this element"
The general looks at Ceazar and smiles " This is not a fair world, Mother nature is running it's course once again and it is reigning supreme, Do you understand what that implies?"
" It is a dog eat dog world or the Law of the Jungle"
" Seems like you have a good head above those shoulders of yours. You might feel as if you are being taken advantage of, Technically yes and no because we will sponsor you to become strong and all you have to do is open that portal" He reaches for a piece of paper and gives it to Ceazar. " Read the Contract and sign it, you should understand the consequences of not agreeing "
" Alright Fine I will do it but on one condition I should be allowed to sleep more compared to the others"
"HAHAHAHAHA a very trivial matter, well I could do that but you must also show results or else no sleep for you instead I will make sure you work during the time of sleep"
Ceazar signed the contract after reading the contents and making sure that he was not a slave to anyone or that the contract had any foul plays in it.
He left the building and followed the sergeant to a barracks near the far end on the right side of the military base. The exit was also near and it was the forest that has been affected by the portal of MT. Pulag so there were definitely monsters in there. Although not as strong as but against a newly awakened can be a nightmare. He entered the barracks and there were no other soul in sight. "This will be you new home until deployment do you understand me"
"Yes Sir" as Ceazar proceeds to unpack some of his stuff in the locker and he hears the sergeant before leaving say "Brat A quote to pass you by : During better times a tree grows deep roots. Now it can weather any storm" and the sergeant proceeds to leave ' what are the higher ups thinking letting a brat like this make himself survive it is too damn early, Hopefully he does not break unlike the last one'
