I cannot believe i got a mobile that costs for a total of 1600 at 1120 and at monthly installments.
I'm quite glad i became a soldier here.
So let's see...
I paid around a total of 7 silver and lost 1 silver for transportation.
I sent around 2 gold and 6 silvers back home. Tho I don't think they know this yet.
They'll probably know about it once they get the bank statement.
...
"Dear, do you know how this is ready?"
"Let me see, aha so he sent the money. Let's see I'll show you. you see... This is based on gyros. For every gyro you get around 10 Empiros counted."
"Yes I understand that but... Isn't the zeros too many for 5 Silvers?"
"Now that you mention it. Wait let me calculate."
"So how much does it calculate?"
"This... How could he? No why did he send-"
...
"What is this son?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"You sent us 2 Gold and 6 Silver Empyros? How will you survive? With just that much? You probably barely have any left for yourself?"
My father snapped.
I have about 2 gold and 2 silver left, that's a heck of a little compared to the amount I sent.
"I might have miscalculated. Give me a minute dad I'll call you again."
"Huh?"
..
"That brat... He just hung up on me."
"It's fine dear, hell call back."
Ting*
"what was that?"
"It's one of those notification sounds."
"What does it say?"
"5... Sil...ver ...Depos...ited... Succes...sfully."
"Huh? Why?"
"5 Silver Deposited Successfully."
...
"Are you insane, I was already angry about you sending more than necessary and you send another 5 Silver?"
"Dad... Listen, It's time y'all relocate somewhere better. Chose a house with a double bedroom. With a rent of around 5-7 Bronze a week and start living there. I'll send the Money every month."
"Son that's absolutely unnecessary, We are living quite well here, If we relocate suddenly we'll be breaching the contract we made with the Landlord."
"That's why I gave you additional money. Give him the advance for the next 3 months and leave that place. It's not a very good place for a young lady to be living in. Lily should have a better environment to live in."
"But-"
"You know how inconvenient it is to live in those slums no? So why argue. You aren't burning me in any way. I can't have a family of an army officer living in such conditions."
"Fine son."
"Good. I'll talk to you later, I have practice now. Bye."
...
I have enough money to survive the month, why you ask?
The best thing about training is the fact that you don't have to buy food or a place to live and yet you get this much money.
And, it's non taxable.
Soldiers do not get taxed in this world, which is a very respectable Setting.
These people really respect their soldiers Don't they.
Anyway, I don't think I'll stay a soldier for long at this rate.
I've been failing miserably in this 1 month of training.
I'm sure i won't be kicked out until the end of training but still... Will i have enough time to get better.
...
"Today, We'll have PVP battles. Usage of mana is not allowed. Each of you will get 3 matches. Today it's the 1st so there will be no classes, It'll be pvp battles and rest for all of you."
So, it's kind of a day off considering we have been doing non stop workout and classes for the past 1 Month.
It's a nice change of pace.
"Also, Out of the 200 of you... 4 of you that end up last today will be elimination."
huh?
...
Match 1 - Lost.
Fuck... Fuck... I'm in deep trouble. I lost my first match, quite miserably.
I didn't think I'd lose so bad.
What do i do... What do i do...
...
Match 2 - Lost
"..."
This... Mom, dad, sis...
They'll be in real trouble... if i Don't win my last match.
Why, did i lose... What was my fault.
I couldn't predict what was coming at me at all.
I've done pvp battles alot for the past 1 month maybe around 20 or so matches but i never got the hang of it.
I was doing fine in theory and Other departments but the main problem was PVP.
Why is it that I'm unable to predict my opponent's attacks?
1 Month in and i have no clue as in how to deal with my opponents.
Please give me an easy opponent to fight...
Please
...
"He's fucked..."
"Ya.. He is."
Everyone was looking at me with pity in their eyes.
As my next opponent was... The 2nd strongest person in this Place, only a bit behind Milia.
Beautiful black hair, Round Blue eyes.
Face that'd make any man's heart race.
The Princess of Novestro, Amber Novestro.
And i was supposed to fight her now.
When i was already 2 down.
...
"You... Do not belong here."
She said so nonchalantly as she pinned my head down with her elbow.
My face was stuck to the dirty ground as i squirmed like a new born child trying to get away from my cuddling mother.
It was impossible... She was too strong.
What is it that I'm doing wrong.
"Why? Why? Why? Why? What is it that I'm doing wrong."
"... You have a lapse in concentration every 5 seconds. You don't have any intent. You overthink alot when it comes to the opponent's attacks. But, most of all..."
"You are Afraid."
Huh? Was that the reason? I have no proper concentration... I overthink alot and most of all I am afraid.
Not of her, not of them but of what my and my family's situation would be if i were to lose.
Huh?
"Why... Don't we restart?"
She asked as she removermd her hands from my neck, i got up and bowed at 90 degree angle
"Thank you very much."
She might have helped me realise my mistakes. For that I'm very greatful.
I was right wasn't i...
Women in another world are beautiful both inside and out.
No wonder people have this Great Instinct to wanna protect them no matter what.
They just are worth the sacrifice.
