INJUSTICE: Save Human Or Surrender
#6 Step Forward (REVISION)
July 28, 3029
2 Years later.
Graduation day arrives.
The scorching sun dyed every corner of the city. The birds seem to welcome summer in this happy year.
A step further to know the truth about the world.
Now we will all be determined which alliance is based on our respective average score. The Commanders and Captains of each alliance gathered beside the stage.
Now we have figured out our respective roles after doing the ability tests for 3 years in the academy. At first it was just Durya and Harpia, but we were divided into a few more roles. Durya is divided into two roles. Among others, the role of Alta (close distance; using a knife, sword, shield, or the like to withstand enemy attacks) and the role of Ignatius (moderate distance; using arrow weapons, assault rifles/breeze rifles, etc, or the like to weaken as well as kill the target appropriately). While in Harpia is divided into two roles. Among others the role of Odora (long distance; using magic to spend the enemy) and the role of Greer (healing/treating injured members of the army. This role is needed in contributing to the enemy by adding energy or mana to his team members, especially for the role of Odora).
We also wear a jacket according to the color that reflects our ability to still wear black shirts like still in the academy and beret hats according to the color of each jacket.
Special brown student jacket that plays the role of Alta, a special red student jacket that acts as Ignatius, a special dark purple student jacket that acts as Odora, while the jacket is a special green student who acts as Greer and is equipped with a logo each role on the back of the jacket, and on both sides of the shoulder. In the logo, always included green leaves that signify 'love of nature'.
I acted as Ignatius so I wore a blood red beret jacket and hat, complete with the logo of Ignatius; arrows and pistols. I also did not forget to carry an AK-47 assault rifle, complete with a modified bullet.
Rifle from Mama Mathilda.
"I'll take good care!" my spoken.
We line according to each ability. Mr. William began to enter the stage area. His face looked radiant. He cleared his throat before starting the show.
"Good morning everyone!" he said firmly by using loudspeakers.
"GOOD MORNING, SIR!" answer us all in unison while making a respectful greeting. Salute to you we have always done since the academy. This is a tribute to an older or senior.
"Today is the day you've been waiting for" he said.
"There are 5 section alliances in the Steich region" he continued. "Among them is the Amdis Alliance, where if you can reach the top 5, then you will have the opportunity to enter there. The second is the Tigris Alliance. The third was the Azalea Alliance. The fourth is the Yuzu Alliance, and the last one is the Oryza Alliance."
"Today you will be determined into proper alliances!"
So quiet.
Just the sound of birds chirping and the voice of Mr. William is echoing in this sunny morning.
"Please listen carefully!" said Mr. William opened the piece of paper he was holding. "If you feel his name is called, please come forward."
"The names mentioned that obtained the top 5 rankings," he stressed.
"I will mention the names of the Durya class first."
He also began to mention the names of students one by one from the Durya class starting from the final rank. I did not recognize that disciple who obtained the fifth rank. However, next Simas managed to reach the fourth rank.
My heart is beating fast. I wish my name was on the loudspeaker.
"Nica Rosabelle!"
"Eh?" I was surprised by what I just heard.
I advanced to the front of the stage with a look that all led to me accompanied by a clap of hands.
I'm third, mendinglah!
"We're together again Nica!" simas exclaimed wearing a red beret jacket and hat, just like me. He launched a high-five with me.
"With more, nih!" I said while replying to his high-five as I stood beside him.
"Rin Melania!"
Rin started to go on stage. I was also happy to see him make it into the Amdis Alliance with me. My comrades-in-arms enter the top 5!
How not to be happy?
"It's so cool of you!" I said to Rin who was standing next to me. I also launched a high-five with him.
"The first rank as the best graduate is held by ...." Mr. William now made everyone speechless.
Only the sound of a heartbeat is heard.
"LOUIS MEINHARDT!" exclaim Mr. William was accompanied by an echoing clap of hands from all the humans present today.
I couldn't help it so I let out happy tears that I couldn't hold back anymore. I saw Louis who began to go on stage with a jacket and a dark brown beret hat. His facial expression showed no expression.
I hugged him right away.
"LOUIS, MY GOD!" I hugged him tightly. My position is half-toed because his height exceeds mine. I don't care if people see us like this, I'm so happy!
Louis returned my embrace.
"Sorry, I'm overdoing it!" I said after I took off his embrace.
"Yes, it's okay!" he said while wiping away the tears that had soaked my cheeks using his fingers.
I was silent looking at him while feeling the sweep of his finger on my face so that it made my cheeks redden. Louis smiled at my reddened face and returned to his line next to Rin.
My heart made flowers by remembering Louis' treatment of me earlier.
In addition, my feelings are also happy because from Durya class, I entered the top 5 with friends I know!
"Next from the Harpian class," Mr. William began reading the names of children from Harpia class who entered into the top 5.
"Alexa's Lumina!"
I saw her entering the stage area and standing at the designated spot. My heart felt like it was dancing to hear his name mentioned by the loudspeakers.
Next Mr. William read out the names of the children from the Harpia class who ranked in the top 5 in addition to Alexa.
Many of them I don't know.
Combined, we have a total of 10 people who managed to join the secure alliance, the Amdis Alliance located in the northernmost city of Amdis Steich.
The graduation ceremony is finally over. Before disbanding, we did a one-force photo session first, looking bright faces that are visible from the photo session, the photo session,
Happy faces to be more precise.
"DADDY!" I hugged Alexa. Both of his tiny wings were moving. He returned my embrace. His little fingers touched my back.
"NIKKI, WE'RE TOGETHER!" alexa shouted in a cute voice. Now the two of us hugged each other after the action that did not allow us to meet on stage earlier.
He let go of his embrace and met Louis who was beside me to do high-five together.
"Hey you!" A man in his 30s, dressed in a dark suit, suddenly approached us with a man I did not know behind him.
Our eyes were all fixed on the arrival of the two foreign men.
"We are from the 113th Amdis Alliance" he said in a rather hoarse voice. Their presence surprised us.
"Include me, I am the Commander of the Amdis Alliance, Lucian Andreas!" continued with a cold face. His brown hair was blown away by the wind.
"And I'm Alliance Captain Amdis, Jan Evander. Can be called Jan or Evander or—"
"Don't pinch me like that!" captain Jan exclaimed as he touched his waist which was deliberately pinched by Commander Lucian.
"Happy you have joined us! " commander Lucian said. His eyes looked at us one by one. "Please cooperate with you!"
"READY!" we said simultaneously while saluting the two important people in front of us.
"Well, we'll be heading to Amdis right now" Commander Lucian said with a flat face.
"The train is coming in about 20 minutes" continued Captain Jan while looking at his watch.
We also left Courtfeig Hero Academy that day. There are so many happy and sad memories left here for 3 years. We immediately traveled to the city of Amdis by special railway alliance.
--
It has been 3 hours on the way to Amdis, which is located in the North.
I enjoyed the view of the sun starting to set. The twilight sky colored the world,
Green trees everywhere.
"The day is getting faster" said Rin who suddenly approached me who was sitting on one of the seats on the train while looking at the scenery that passed in the rectangular window.
"Yes that way!" my dreamy reply looked at the beautiful afternoon sky like a painting.
Annie
Leo
Theos
Matthias
And the others,
Mama Mathilda's,
How are you guys doing?
Suddenly a tear fell right on my cheek. Recalling the events of the past few years that have befallen them.
"Hey, why are you crying?" Rin realized it.
I immediately rushed to wipe my tears using my long jacket sleeve. There was a pattern of tears coming out of my eyes.
"Oh, not really," I replied. "There is only dust in my eyes."
However, these tears still wet my cheeks increasingly profusely.
"Tell me. You know I'm a good listener" he continued, commenting on a smile on his face. I looked at him and then I turned back to the view in the afternoon.
"Yes, how are you," I said. "It's just that I suddenly miss my adoptive family."
"But they've been eaten by the devil!" my clear. "Last time I saw their bodies were destroyed."
Rin immediately hugged me. His treatment made me cry in his arms again. Rin gave me fortitude and strength in dealing with the problems I was experiencing.
"I've been an orphan since I was 9. My father was in an accident while on duty at the port" he said suddenly.
"Since then, my mother became very depressed and was eventually found suicidal by stabbing herself with a kitchen knife while pregnant with my sister" he continued, looking at the passing scene. His hand while stroking my hair. Put me in his arms.
"My sister died before birth due to severe bleeding in her brain from a cut from a kitchen knife," she explained, holding back tears. "Since then, I've been getting so excited about life and trying to kill myself at 11."
"But the experiment was successfully thwarted by my grandparents because they entered my locked room!"
Tragic about your life, man!
"Your sister is watching your struggle from heaven." I interrupted. His gaze turned to look at me who was in his arms.
"Your sister always takes care of you where you are" I continued. "You're not alone, Rin!"
"God is testing us. Trust me God will give you the best!" I said by convincing Rin who was being hit by sadness just like me.
"The point is we have to fight and we have to make the people who have left us proud!" I said while holding his right hand.
"Fighting!" I said while encouraging him.
"F–fighting!" he answered with excitement though there was still a feeling of sadness in him. His pupils are enlarged.
"Both of you!" call Captain Jan suddenly who is in front of me right now. It was just a few different benches from the two of us.
"Catch her!" Captain Jan threw two packs of soy crackers at both of us.
"Thank you very much, Captain!" I said while clutching the soybean cracker.
"Where's Lucian's commander?" rin asked other children not far from us who were eating soy crackers rich in this nutrient. He realizes the absence of Commander Lucian.
"Said Commander Lucian was going to the toilet" Maxwell replied. One of the students who played Odora.
"Oh," That's all that came out of Rin's mouth.
"Captain, do we eat first or what?" ask me to make sure before I open the pack of crackers in my hand.
"Let's eat first!" captain Jan replied kindly. "Here's the other boker."
"If I said that in front of him, he would definitely strangle me" he said.
"Captain Jan is a humorous man, yes!" said Simas.
Captain Jan laughed at Simas's words about him. "Yes clear!"
"GOOD EATING!" we said in unison and directly devoured the soy crackers given by Captain Jan. Although not as good as I thought, but this cracker is enough to make my stomach filled.
"You," Suddenly Captain Jan rebuked me. I stopped eating and looked at Captain Jan at me.
"Yes, Captain?" many wonder.
"You and her are dating, huh?" tanyanya by pointing at Louis who was eating his soy crackers.
Louis stared silently at Captain Jan and myself not far from his seat.
HUH UH?!
Instantly his words choked me, though,
Alexa rubbed my back with her tiny hands. Without replying to Captain Jan, I grabbed a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down until the choking was gone.
I could feel the other stares pointing at me.
I guessed!
"No, Captain! We're not in any relationship" Louis said. "We're just childhood friends."
"Oh, but you two were so friendly on stage!" seduced Captain Jan while commenting on the creepy smile that made her look like a psychopath.
Patience ....
It feels like I want to fly to the moon in a rocket right now to vent my feelings of shame in front of the entire Courtfeig academy kid.
"Don't put it to the liver. I was just kidding," he explained in a soft tone.
"Well, don't forget to clean up your food waste, yeah!" captain Jan said. He suddenly got up from his sitting position.
"I went there first. Hye!" he continued, opening the corridor door and leaving us all behind.
We all fell silent watching his form until he disappeared. With a reddened and grim face from the words of Captain Jan just now, I changed my sitting position by curling up while holding a pack of soy crackers in my hand.
TO CRY!!
My heart felt pierced by 1,000 katanas in 0.01 seconds.
"What's wrong with you, Nikki?" Suddenly Alexa's cute voice was heard by my two ears. It turned out that he was approaching me who was not good. His right hand touched my back.
I remained silent.
"Nicki!" He kept shaking my body and saying my name so many times that I lost my balance and fell on the floor.
"Help me dying!" I said with a voice stuck in my throat. A blank look stared at the ceiling of the train.
"LOULOU, PLEASE NIKKI'S DYING!!!" alexa shouted frantically at my words and immediately called Louis.
Louis came straight to me who was drooping on the floor. I was helped by Louis and Alexa. My body is still being shaken by Alexa. However, I still did not respond to it. Suddenly my views with Louis were at one another.
He checked my temperature by sticking the back of his right hand right on my forehead.
OH, GOD IS LIKE THIS AGAIN!
I want to scream so loud. Louis' flat face made my heart reach its maximum speed.
I'm nosebleed. Suddenly nosebleed.
"Nica nosebleed!" ledek Simas laughs at me.
Rin just looked at me with a big smile.
Alexa immediately picked up a box of tissue and took as much as possible to stop my nosebleed from flowing. Suddenly the atmosphere of this room became noisy.
Noisy, noisy,
Laughter, though,
And panic, though,
All become one.
--
2 Hours later,
Arrive in Amdis at night.
The temperature increased because Amdis was located at the northernmost so we had to wear colored robes according to the role of each given by Mr. William at Courtfeig's Academy of Heroes.
"WELCOME TO AMDIS!"
Little people passed around the station wagon. Not as crowded as I initially thought. Maybe because it's night.
The lights in each place lit up as if to welcome us here.
We went down with our own equipment.
"Yahoo!" alexa exclaimed with both her arms extended into the sky.
"Cold!" I said while rubbing my hands together to produce heat between my hands.
"Finally there!" simas said relieved. During the trip, he experienced motion sickness so that he spent two bags full of vomit.
If you remember it was disgusting too, anyway!
Commander Lucian and Captain Jan led our way.
"Rin, come!" take me from outside the carriage while waiting for Rin from inside. I don't know why he's been down so long.
Louis was waiting for me.
"Ah yes. Sorry." he said as he ran after me.
"Nobody's missing, right?" ask him who looks rushed. However, he just shook his head.
We followed Commander Lucian and Captain Jan.
The train that had accompanied us for 5 hours on its long journey, finally separated. We headed to the headquarters of the Amdis alliance not far from the train station location so told us to just walk away.
The atmosphere of the city of Amdis, can be said to be like the city of candy.Since some buildings are towering, there are colorful domes. Lights located in every corner of the city illuminate every corner of the street. People around wear jackets to warm their bodies. It was summer, but it was still winter. The smoke billowed into the air every time I exhaled and chatted so coldly.
Arriving at the headquarters of the Amdis Alliance,
Looking from the outside, the building is huge.
It is even the largest and widest building compared to other buildings around it. Each of the towers in this alliance is equipped with a dome that cones upwards in red–white.
It's very unique, isn't it?
"Darling isn't, like candy?" I said to Louis.
"Like the candy that is always on gingerbread," Louis replied as he observed each towering dome.
We began to enter the main room of the headquarters of the Amdis Alliance. But for that, we had to go through some stairs first. There are security guards on duty at every corner of the base.
We were all told to sleep in the rooms that were already available on the orders of Commander Lucian. Rooms for men and women are distinguished by only one floor. The 4th floor is female, while the 5th floor is male. We had to take the elevator to get to our room. There are also stairs, but it will be faster when using the elevator.
My males soul refused!
"By 06:00 should be awake, yes!" commander Lucian's orders were firm.
"READY, COMMANDER!" yell at all of us while respectfully performing in front of him.
"Okay, good night everyone!" captain Jan said as he waved his hand at us and turned around leaving us all still in the main hall.
"Good sleep!"
"Bye!"
"Bye, sweet dreams!"
All the children called each other 'good night' and began to leave the place that became the beginning of the gathering together. Me, Alexa, Rin, and a few other kids in the elevator went straight to the 4th floor.
There was no conversation between us, either,
Just yawning.
Due to the long journey, we were all very tired. Even we all have to get up at exactly 06:00 in the morning, imagine!
Now it is 11:50 midnight.
NOOO!!!
