On a planet, a 20-year-old young man, 1.77 m tall, with bluish hair in dark and light tones like the moon and the night, with green eyes and wearing a cloak in white and slightly golden colours.
He had squirrel ears and a large bluish squirrel tail and was relaxing at the top of a tall tree with a fiction book in his left hand and in his right hand holding a basket of plump strawberries, filled with a refreshing reddish colour that looked like candy.
He placed one in his mouth that only seemed to enhance his beautiful and slightly seductive and charming reddish lips.
And at that moment a voice was heard.
"Alex Alex!! Where are you?"
The young man in the tree turned his face and saw another young man about 1.79 m tall with brown hair and monkey ears and tails.
He sighed a little lazily, but with a smile on his face and spoke in a way that it was still possible to hear.
"Here"
MC PVO
Looking down there was Tiago, my best childhood friend and member of the Orphanage.
"Alex, are you in the tree again?"
He spoke, but didn't stand still, using his slightly longer than normal arms, and quickly climbed the tree with the support of his tail and stood next to me.
"Yes, why are you looking for me?"
I smiled softly at him and asked.
He smiled a little embarrassed and asked.
"Are you really going to the Valry military academy in the capital?"
"Yes"
"Is it for Grandfather Yut?"
I looked at him and just nodded... Grandpa Yut was an old man here on the planet who lived near the orphanage and before he passed away he asked me to make his dream come true and join the army. And I ended up deciding to fulfil my wish...of course he didn't specify the time so I just need to stay a few years after graduating and then just go out and do something else anyway, life expectancy in this world is a maximum of 300 years so I have time..
He looked at me and didn't know what to say, there seemed to be two things, but he seemed to have decided not to say one and decided to say the other with a feeling of guilt.
"Good, but are you really going to go into the logistics and administration sector...?And because of me?..."
I looked at him and touched his head while I handed a strawberry to his mouth.
"Of course"
Tiago also intends to enter the same university and in the same department, he also has good mental power, being class B and a class C physique, which makes it difficult to enter the army in the combat part, which requires at least class B physique and also a series of tests. …of course in my opinion it was viable, since he has good reflexes and above all his supernatural power is useful in fighting being an A level metal power, but he decided to pursue logistics and administration.
He still looked embarrassed, but looking happy and then sad and happy and ended up giving a sigh.
"I still think it's a waste... even though you're both sub-orcs, you have a highly strong physique, and an unparalleled mental power, not to mention the level and amount of supernatural powers and other special things... even Orcs would easily beat you up... I bet only generals and marshals would have a chance… and yet I still think you would win…"
He said this because he is one of the only ones who knows about my grades as well as some other secrets since I told/showed them when we were younger, of course the federal registry also noticed it, however I hacked it a while ago and made sure it didn't alert anyone, so unless they look or search specifically, having to use high level military permission as personal data is highly protected by privacy, others will not know...although the college director already knows since it is necessary to see the record.. I even had to send a special communication at the time asking him to keep it a secret...
Thinking about the director, I still remember his voice begging and asking me to change departments...
Remembering this, I shuddered for a moment.
"Alex?"
And only when I heard Tiago's voice did I wake up.
"Cough Cough It could be true... after all, SS and SSS class capabilities are rare even in high positions in the army, not to mention 3 powers at the same time, however it's not my goal, grandpa also didn't say what position I need to take... I'd rather stay at your side and helping is more relaxed anyway."
I said smiling comfortably at him.
He blushed and was embarrassed…
"Well… I can also protect myself… but thank you…"
I smiled and didn't speak.
I didn't say anything more specific... I particularly have respect for the military of this world now we are in relative peace, but the federation, in addition to conflict with another human group such as the imperials, had several conflicts with two problematic groups that are cosmic beasts or simply monsters.
And the most problematic, because they travel in groups and are even more impulsive and destructive compared to beasts, are the Zerg, large insects and enemies that are somewhat too typical on interstellar worlds, which move in groups and are quite annoying...
But regardless, I don't intend to do excesses...although I'm curious about how to use a Mech since I've never used it in so many lives...however, I'm not curious to get directly into more frontal combat...I'll only get in if necessary...if not, I only need to do as much as I can and help with logistics and administration, which is enough.

"By the way, is that all you wanted to say, Tiago?"
"Aaa"
He spoke loudly and jumped up, almost hitting his head on the branch.
"C'mon C'mon!! There will be the official graduation and farewell in 35 minutes!!"
"O..there's this…"
"Yes yes"
He spoke while looking at me with sparkling eyes.
I sighed and jumped easily, falling to the ground lightly, and he did the same, but with a rougher jump.
At the same time he hid his tail.
"Alex hide your tail too"
I looked at him and retracted it.
Although not like Orcs, sub-orcs are also able to twitch their tails, and keeping them stored has become a common custom, both for orcs and sub-orcs since tails are parts that can only be touched by family or partners.
Unless it is to combat an emergency, then the most common and cultural habit in cities and places, is to retract the tail.
Of course, I particularly wanted to be able to touch my tail...since it's big and fluffy and good to lay on...I also wanted to touch others because I think it's cute and warm...but given the customs, it's best to avoid it in general...
On the ground, Tiago grabbed my hand and ran away... and I just followed him going to the school I spent several years at.
