Chapter 15

December 25, 2130, 10:10, Newgenesia and Alpenia Battlefield

After spending a cold night and making promises to go out to eat chicken together after the war was over, the next day, they went to war.

But apparently, that war was the last war for all of them, except Peter.

And finally, they were forced to break their promise to eat chicken together.

After the enemy withdrew from the battle, Peter, who survived the battle, looked for his friends even though at that time his leg was badly injured, and finally Peter found Thorn, who was dying and unconscious, alone.

Seeing Thorn dying, Peter rushed to put Thorn's head in his lap and tried to wake him up while crying.

"Thorn! Thorn! Come on, wake up! You're still alive, aren't you!? Wake up! Please!"

Hearing his friend's voice so loud that he couldn't sleep peacefully, Thorn woke up and said his last words.

​​​​"Hey, Peter, you're so loud. Just annoying."

"Thorn...Thank God, you're still alive."

"Don't joke, I'll catch up with the others soon."

"Hey! Thorn! What do you mean! We will continue fighting! This is not the end of our journey. Let me take you back."

"You're wrong Peter. This is not the end of your journey, however, it is the end of our journey."

"Hey, don't mess around."

"Why should I joke at a time like this? Peter remember this. Continue living for us, this is our request, Captain. And I'm sorry, we won't be eating chicken together after this battle, but you can represent him, right, Captain. See you, Peter."

After saying these words, Thorn closed his eyes, he was no longer breathing and his pulse disappeared. He's gone.

"Thorn! Thorn! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

After a few minutes, reinforcements came to search for surviving soldiers on the battlefield, they found Peter near Thorn's body and took the two to the main military base. Thorn and his friends were found, but they were all lifeless and they were buried in a grave around the Alpenia military center. Meanwhile, Peter's leg had to be amputated due to fighting and had to live the rest of his life with only one leg.

After the death of his friends and the loss of one of his legs, Peter lost his enthusiasm to remain in the military, but because his rank was in the military, he couldn't just leave the military.

January 8, 2131, 08:00, Alpenia Military Headquarters

About two weeks after the death of his friends, Peter served as Major and received a new assignment, namely as a commander of a new army.

On his way to meet his new troops, Major General Okhta met Major Peter and greeted him.

"Hey, Peter!"

"Oh, Major General, what do you need?"

"I just wanted to greet you. Oh yes, congratulations on your promotion and you have a new assignment, right?"

"Yes, I got a new assignment, to be the commander of a new troop."

"Hmm, new troops, huh. Looks like it will be difficult, but keep up the enthusiasm, okay?"

"Okay. Then Major General, I'll excuse myself."

"Yes. Cheer up!"

After walking a few steps away from Major General Okhta, Peter spoke to himself.

"(Yes, I know you want to comfort me, but that's not necessary, Major General.)"

After parting ways with Major General Okhta, Major Peter immediately went to meet his new troops with low morale.

After walking for a short time, Peter arrived at his group room, which was a place that looked like a classroom with a PR4 sign near the door. Peter opened the door and met four people who were waiting for him in a room that looked like a classroom. The four people sat at the table provided like high school students in general.

"Hmm, that's four people, huh? OK, then that's all right. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Peter, I will be your instructor and call me Major. Next it's your turn. Come on, introduce yourselves."

After being asked to introduce himself by Peter, Mikita stood up from his seat and began to introduce himself first.

"My name is Mikita. I am a woman who dreams of becoming a soldier in the future and thanks to the war and the military conscription system, my dream came true more quickly. Thank you."

In an annoyed tone, Mikita introduced herself quickly. After he introduced himself, he returned to his seat and Carlos stood up from his seat to continue his introduction.

"My name is Carlos. I'm just an ordinary student who only has advantages in sports and my life was normal at first until I finally got stuck here. Thank you."

After Carlos finished introducing himself, Alfaro continued the introduction

"My name is Alfaro. I am an ordinary university student. Thank you."

Alfaro finished introducing himself by only saying 3 sentences and sat back in his seat. And finally, Amelia stood up from her seat to introduce herself.

"My name is Amelia. I am an ordinary student who is also great in the world of hackers. Thank you."

After Amelia sat down, Alafro, who was sitting next to her, whispered to her.

"Hey, Amelia?"

"What is it?"

"Can you fix the information restrictions that have occurred?"

"I'm a hacker, but I can't do something like that, you idiot! If I could, I would have done it a long time ago. I also don't want to only be able to see information from the country that caused the battle."

"Yeah, yeah. Sorry."

After Amelia and Alfaro finished talking, Peter, who had been listening, started to speak again.

"Yes, I hope you two can get along well. Alright, when you're done talking, I'll start the training."

After looking at the surroundings for a while, which had begun to become silent, Amelia suddenly asked.

"Major, may I ask a question?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"I want to know about the Major's past, is that okay?"

"No. And since I also heard any more questions from you guys, then let's just start the training. For today, physical training."
