She hollered with laughter as I sat at the corner with her huge eyes back on my head. This pot-bath robot dummy hit me. I can't believe you got knocked out by the pot! She continued to laugh at my state of predicament.
The ice in the bag rattled when I turned to glare at her. It punched me." I reasoned on the head. I 'pointed at the brooch on my upper left that was now starting to turn purple.
"You punched down, ripped a metal net metal. She embarrassed the world with your bare hands, if I might add. How on earth did that thing get to you?"
"Hey at least I was actually physically hurt to be allowed rest. I pointed out and grinned evilly at her. The training was still on but those who collapsed or were hurt, which is somehow just the two of us right now, were unlike someone who obviously overate because she was running late."
"It was a valid excuse!"
"But not the best one."
Just lucky that I am feeling sick, otherwise I would smash your face to the ground. He says!
"Yeah,"I rolled my eyes and tried to see if you can, I dare her, before turning to look back at the training. I somehow felt a little dismayed at the fact that the first day that I could resign was quiet. I ended up getting a time out because of getting hurt. I watched a few drills that they were doing. Most of them were light workouts, probably because of the fact that we just finished another drill.
Saw a group were teaching them martial arts. Others were doing running drills. Some were practicing with a weapon. Another group practiced a leap. R-Squad, which is currently Jack, was practicing his punching. Every time he does land a blow, a number would appear on the robot's head. I can only assume what is the recording of this Strength.
Sheila was there watching him and making a comment on how to improve her blows. When Jack practiced again, his score flashed an even higher number. Jack let out a victorious laugh and looked at Sheila as she boosted. Sheila simply gave him an art of recognition.
"Doesn't he seem young to you? "
"What?" I looked at Geeta, who was suddenly looking at Sheela in wonder.
"Sheila, gentle Sheila rather, "she corrected herself; doesn't she seem younger to him compared to others? I mean just imagine that he's wearing the same outfit as us; he would properly blend in. How old do you think he is? She asked early.
"How should I know? "
"You two talk a lot and now to mention that you are in the squad. "
For two hours, I whispered at her, I have been in a square for two hours. Sometimes spending a few hours with a person can face a lifetime. She held her hand over her chest melodramatically, as if she was in a drama.
"Geeta? shut up. I told her.
It wasn't long after a soft chime went off, signaling us for lunch. Geeta and I were calling over to our prospective scratch just so we can be accounted for before they let us leave. Jack was sweating when I arrived and stood beside him as we processed Sheela, Mr. Mithun, as an official part of the front, you have to learn how to salute, he says.
Like this? I asked and did the subject that I remembered what has been taught to me. Making a fist and touching my left shoulder, then raising my hand right elbow to align with my right shoulder a look of surprise crossed Sheela's face before it was replaced with Geeta's one. They didn't learn that. ?
"From the guy named Harsha." I answered.
"How do you know him? "
"When Geeta and I were with Brenda, She-"
"Brinda?" Now Sheela was looking at me with disappointment as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Princess Brinda, I corrected myself after talking a walk with Princess Brinda in the oceanward. This guy named Harsha came and escorted him out.
You met with Lord princess Brinda? "This time it was Jack who spoke. He grabbed my shoulder and his wide eyes were boring into me. Wow! Two times you met face to face and talked to her. I really should hang out with you more.
"Mr. Jack, I still have not dismissed you. Might I suggest that you stay in attention until I say so?"
Jack immediately lowered his arm from my shoulder and looked apologetically at Sheila. "Sorry General," he said, and stood at attention. The manner and action alone remind me that he is still a soldier. Despite his ratchet attitude, he did not say anything more after that and focused his gaze to a spot in front of her.
Hey Mr. Mithun, since you know the salute already then, we can go on with the dismissal drill.
"Sheila walked back to the front with her hands behind her back. The moment I say "attention," that is when you gather in front of me in lines or rows. If there are more of you then I want it neat and straight but since there are only the two of you then this is fine. I do expect that you both will be standing on the same line.
At that moment I looked at Jack and towards his foot. I was a few inches short of where he stood so I adjusted myself.
You will do the line up without so much as using your head to see. Mr. Mithun, she characterized me. You will use your peripheral vision to see, no talking as well. When I am in front, your eyes will be on me. If not, then you will look in front of you without so much as daydreaming.
She started phasing around as I could feel his eyes burning at the back of my head as I started at the front. There will be no laughing, no chit chat, and certainly no moments. She touched my fingers that I held behind my back, which I was unconsciously placing with my stand still backside, straight chest out and hands behind your back without playing with them.
My cheeks flushed as she described what I was doing earlier. I heard her walk again until she was right in front of us and stop. That is all for today. I hope you both will keep in mind what you have learned before you continue our training for later. You are dismissed.
There was a snap and I saw Jack putting his hands down and bowing to Sheila. I copied his actions and did the same thing that he did and even copied his words when he said, "Thank you General and Glory to Lemuria." After that we both looked up and saw her nodding at us in approval. '
All right now that you are officially in a spot, then you can get your daily allowance information to head to the marketplace. He pimped you are going to get her permission now, right? General Jack looked at Sheela for confirmation.
'Yes."
"There's a market here"? and we get an allowance. I questioned in surprise," but I thought everything here is for free.?"
Not really. Sheela was the one who answered and showed me her open palm. Give me your cuff so I can sign you to my squad and give you access to the marketplace. I complied with his request and watched as she did the same thing that I saw Captain Maria do a while now you are all set. I added 50 royals into your account. You may use them to pay over there, he says before looking at Jack. If you are planning to head to the market with him then I will leave him in your care."
"Nonsense! Jack wrinkled his nose in disgust. Sure, the food there is alright, but it is just repetitive. I mean don't you miss food from the land? Real meat and not just seafood. Barbecue sticks, rice, as Jack continued to emulate the food that I missed on the surface, my mouth started to salivate. I swear that just thinking about meat is already making me smell barbeques.
I saw how they were looking at me and I immediately bit my lower lip in embarrassment as I covered my lip with the back of my hand and looked away. Fine I'll go, Sheila finally answered. I saw him looking at Jack with a warning look, but I will only be treating her and not you.
Jack spouted: "Gentle playing favorite already. I am deeply wounded! Keep saying that and I will deduct your daily allowance." Sheela threatened him.
"My lips are sealed. He says then he looked back behind him two were his friends. I thought I will be using them again to call our friends. "Be right back," he says before he ran to where the others were while waving his hands frantically to catch their attention.
Once we were alone, I looked at Sheila and correctly nodded my head. Thanks for the Hm. permission and allowance, I raised my cuff at her.
She smiled and nodded at me in acknowledgement but are you sure you want to come? I mean you already gave me an allowance. You don't want me to come?
"No, I denied and shook my hands in front of me. Before she got the wrong idea, I mean we would love your company but there really is no need to treat me if you already gave me an allowance. "
A small, amused smile appeared on her lips, then that he was fighting not to show completely. "Think nothing of its Mr. Mithun. If it does bother you then Please assured that most commanders treat their new squadrons the same. Though in my case since I am very picky at picking my members, I am hardly familiar with the tradition," she says, looking slightly embarrassed for admitting it.
Looking at her somehow reminded me that Sheila is still young. Even though she is gentle she cannot fully hide her facial expression for a long time even though she wants to and it must be difficult to keep hiding it from time to time. Looking, though, just because she is gentle.
Guys, we're here! Jack returned along with Geeta, Israr, and William. Geeta was hopping towards me until she clung to my side. I never knew there was even a marketplace. She hopped on the balls of her feet excitedly but slowed down when she saw Sheila and immediately stood to attention.
