I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 217 Unexpected
They took Arty to her school first. After that, they went to the military headquarters.
Just like before, the treatment they received from the soldiers became different after they rose in rank.
But Erend and Billy, know what's really going on behind that fake respect.
The soldiers must have kept cursing them behind their backs. Saying something like it was unfit for them to rise through the ranks, or even stay in the military.
And just like what Erend and Billy always do. They decided not to care about it and just act indifferent.
Major Lennard came to meet them when she saw them enter the military base.
"How are you?" Major Lennard asked.
Erend and Billy looked at each other as if asking what the question actually meant. But not long after, Billy was the one who answered.
"We're fine, Major. What should we do now?"
"We're going to be doing military operation training. You guys must be pretty familiar with that, right?" Major Lennard said.
"Military operations training?" Billy asked.
"Sorry, ma'am. But we don't have military training like soldiers in general so we don't really understand," Erend replied.
"But you can use weapons to shoot, right?" Major Lennard asked while looking at Erend.
"Uh, Yes. I suppose."
"Then that's enough. Don't worry too much. Cpt. Boartusk will also be joining in on this training."
Hearing their old leader's name, Erend and Billy felt an unexpected feeling of relief.
They didn't think that hearing about the presence of Cpt. Boartusk will make them feel better.
"Alright, the General wishes to see you now. Go see him," Major Lennard said.
After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked away.
Same as before. Billy stared at the Major's buttocks in awe.
"I will never get tired of that sight, man," Billy muttered.
Erend just sighed. "Then why don't you just ask her out? She's just the General's daughter." Erend said sarcastically.
Erend said it was not in favor of Billy. He wanted to make Billy aware by giving him the idea that Major Lennard was the daughter of the General who held the power to finish them off at any time.
So, dating her is not a good idea.
"That's a good idea. I'll try to ask her sometime."
But Billy gave an answer he didn't expect.
Major Lennard suddenly turned her face towards them. Then right at Billy.
She gave a faint smile that was almost unnoticed. Then face forward again.
The fact that she didn't change the way she walked and didn't say anything seemed to indicate that she didn't mind Billy looking at her like that.
Though she clearly knew that Billy was looking at her.
"Did you see that?" Billy asked with a grin on his face.
Erend also saw Major Lennard's gesture earlier. But he didn't think that was a good sign.
"She looks like a snake, man. You have to be careful with your decisions," Erend said.
"Oh. Of course. You don't have to worry about my decision." freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Erend sighed as he looked at Billy. In the near future, Billy will definitely be asked the Major out.
If that's the case, then Erend only has to come to the rescue if her father finds out about it.
Erend walked first to go to the General's room. Meanwhile, Billy waited a little longer for Major Lennard to disappear behind the door to catch up with him.
~~~
They entered the General's room like before. The feeling of nervousness still hadn't disappeared when they entered here again.
Even though they had tried to prepare themselves but it was useless in front of General Lennard.
Erend didn't feel afraid of the General exactly. He was only afraid of his overwhelming power to deploy special forces to threaten their family.
Therefore Erend still has to be careful in front of him.
Erend and Billy sat across from the General. Waiting to see what he would say this time.
"You guys already know there's going to be a military operations training," General Lennard began.
Erend and Billy nodded together.
"No need to worry about that. You just need to do what you usually do. This military operation training is something we routinely do to maintain the strength of our soldiers."
"Yes sir." They both answered.
"But besides that, I want to tell you something big and classified," General Lennard continued with a serious look at the both of them.
The confused Erend and Billy exchanged glances. What big and classified things might he tell them?
Based on their experience, whatever it was, it wasn't a good thing.
"W-What is that, General?" Billy asked.
"I can say that you two are a very important part of our country's military. Because you know some important secrets of ours. Therefore, I decided to tell you about this."
General Lennard then turned his computer monitor screen towards Erend and Billy.
Then they see a video that is still not playing. Even so, Erend and Billy could see what was in the video.
In the video was a man with a white shirt. The man was in the middle of a large field.
Behind him is the top of large tall trees and hills visible over the top of the wall.
Erend was quite familiar with that man. He had seen it when he was in a room with Aurdis at that time.
He is the man who stole the key to the Fountain of Eternity.
"Who is this man, sir?" Erend asked carefully. He tried not to give any hint that he knew something about him.
"This is subject number 0. He is the man who managed to return from the Elven world by bringing artifacts and Magic powers to this world," General Lennard replied.
Billy's eyes widened and he wanted to say something. But before that happened Erend gave him a very sharp look.
Seeing that, Billy immediately knew that he had to be quiet.
"Why are you showing this to us?" Erend asked. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
"Because your next job will have something to do with him."
