"Thankfully she only manage to inhaled a small account of that gas thats why it took years to took effect on her body" Alexander paused a second to compose before continuing "Despite that her life is still on danger and no one has a cure or antidote on the Republic" A small tear dropped from his eyes and running on his cheek but immediately wiped by his left hand
'Get a grip Alexander! Don't embarrass yourself!' He reprimand himself to not show weakness in front of the officers, "But then the doctor tells me that there's is a place that nearly done making a antidote specifically made for VX8 related cases....the Greater Pomelian Empire" Silence permeates the room before the Major spoke
"I suppose this why you join the Foreign Legion?, since it's impossible to get such treatment if you are not a subject of the emperor" He question Alexander, the Greater Pomelian Empire has a near isolationist policy in foreign migration where only selected people are allowed to visit much more in obtaining citizenship and also known for its brutal and effectiveness in combating illegal immigrants where best case scenario could hope for is one bullet on the head, or worse is to be turn as human test subject until death, Alexander is one of the few who gave to be given a visa to enter the empire
"Yes sir, since I'm not a genius prodigy nor have a great importantance in the society, it is the only way for me to get citizenship and for my kid sister" Alexander nods as he answered to the former, after scribbling on his notes the Major asks another question
"Mr Lancelot, are affiliated to the La Hermanos Cartel? Because we have details that you are doing some errands for the group" The moment the Major said the word Hermanos he forgotten himself to breath and profusely sweating even the room is well ventilated, his throat are getting dry rapidly because of the nervousness 'Are they gonna turn me to the police!? I need to leave!' Because he could act, The Major raised his hand
"Don't worry Mr Lancelot we wouldn't turn you in to the police but it depends on your answer and truthfulness to answer our questions" He explained calmly to Alexander so after calming himself down the latter narrates based on his past dealing with the group
"One year ago, I managed to get a part-time job on a firing range exclusive for retried soldiers, government officials and rich folks, to make the long story short the owner of the range was impressive for cleaning the place so he offered guidance in marksmanship in all kinds of weaponry as a reward" He paused a moment before continuing "After months of shooting the owner was impressed in my skills so he offered to a chance to compete in a large tournament, so I win the tournament and earn large moment of money for my sister hospitalizations but still not enough, then all of the sudden a large man with a suit approach me and said his boss wants to me" Alexander paused has he drink a cup of water provided to him
"So I met the boss named Carlos Blanca who is in charge of New Lexington operations, then he offered me a deal to become his newest hitman" Alexander paused to see the reaction of the officers and let them process the info dump for a second "Since the pay is extreme good, I immediate accept and starts working, I kill lawyers of their rivals, dirty cops who betrayed the group but then one day an order was given..." Alexander grips his hands until the knuckles turned white in anger"To kill an entire family, the father, mother, an 7 year old daughter and a 4 year old boy so for the first and last time I disobeyed an order then moments later a bounty was put on my head" Then he smirks "So in turn I gave all the bases location to all law enforcement agency along their profile information that I gathered during my time with them"
Alexander noticed that they are still writing on a paper 'They are taking note for the things I said that may be important or to take notice' He concluded based on his personal observation before finally ending his narration "Luckily for me the bounty name that they put is just an alias and my hair on the photo is just a wig and the only one who knows my true name is Carlos Blanca who died due to stage 4 cancer, for a time being me and my sister have a good live so I open am printing shop before the money runs dry and enroll myself in college with a course of criminology since I want to redeem myself by joing the N.B.I (National Bureau of Investigation) after they promised a spot after graduation, then all of the sudden my sister condition worsen and the cartel finally managed to get my real name, currently hunts me down and finally here I am"
After he spoken he pour himself a cup of water and drink, 'Damn it's been a while since I talked too much and for this kind of long conversation' Alexander reflected at himself on the way of his answers since it's unusual for him to talk longer than necessary
"Mr Lancelot I have a last question for you? If you are ordered to die, would you do it?" The Major posted a last question for Alexander before concluding the interview, "So long as you promised to take care of my sister the last memeber of my family, I'm gladly do it with a smile" The latter respond almost immediate as if expecting such a question, but based on the wireless polygraph monitor the Lieutenant holding no signs of omission...yet
Alexander was ordered by the Major to wait for two weeks for the result and he can stay here for the duration of time where he was provided 3 pieces of plain grey shirt, grey jogger pants and lastly a pair of grey shoes
For two weeks he spent working out, perfecting his Pomelian dialect and getting in touch with her sister who is currently at an hospital, during that time he saw people from different nationality comes to the Foreign Legion by the second week around 80 applicants who are waiting for the results
[Day of the Results]
In the middle of the open plaza, a group of men standing in formation (10 men width, 8 men deep) waiting for their names to be called "Samuel Green, Antonio Hemstone, Suzuki Nakamura, Cha Joong Sung..." The blonde hair legionnaire that one who gave Alexander his Aptitude Test called the names on the list that his holding
'Come on! come on!' He was extreme nervous and scared for not being called out, because there is a policy in which an applicant who failed the selection will not be entertained indefinitely in short he only has one strike to join no more chances
For 80 to 70 to 65 applicants remaining on the formation then finally he's name was finally called out "And lastly on the list of the selected....Alexander Lancelot, for those who is not selected will be given only 600 Imperial Dollar and a one way bus ride to the nearest airport" He announced then Alexander moves away from the formation to the column line of the selected, the remaining applicants is dismayed for not being selected, some are getting ready to get violent for the result then suddenly an black old man the same who entertained Alexander at the gate and in charge of his Physical Test appeared in front of them
"What the fuck is this this? You act like an group of children, have you no shame at all? We rejected hundreds of people annually, but this is the first time we see a group of people act like an animal rather calmly accept to the result and leave in peace, you are given a last warning" His voice laced with cold rage cut through to everyone's ears, and when people wants to retorts him their voice was stuck in their throats, they see not just an ordinary legionnaire....but a monster in a human form
Everyone knows to this person is except Alexander 'Why did everyone became dead silent all of the sudden?' He observed as the people looking down on the floor like a kid scolded by a teacher, then the old legionnaire instructs them to leave the premise immediate where several bus waiting for them at the gate
"Congratulations, all of you 13 passed the selection phase, as per tradition you will be given a second identity during your tenure on the legion and there are some restrictions on your life, you may regain your real identity and lift this restrictions only after completing your initial 5 years contract Do you understand?" The blonde hair legionnaire proudly speak to them and looks at them if there is concerns
"Since no concerned are raised, I officially welcomes to the Pomelian Foreign Legion! Where your new beginnings awaits"
