High School Soldier
Rest in peace

Every room in the Alliance headquarters was dark, and only illuminated by a few candles that did not provide adequate illumination. However, almost all of the Alliance's top brass came to this place to attend the Year-Replacement ceremony, although they would definitely talk about something later.

“Regarding the defeat of 5,000 troops in the fortress near the border, I think it was a humiliating defeat.”.

The dark silhouette sitting in a dimly lit room is perfect with minimal lighting. A man – a former soldier ‘world other’ who carried the first generation 20th Attack Gun on his back – and wore a striped uniform that he ‘modified’ himself so as not to resemble the TNI forest camouflage uniform. On the left side of the chest his clothes were decorated with several awards, although he had escaped from the battlefield.

Thanks to the knowledge and abilities gained when the nine people of ‘otherworld’ became heroes, some officers who survived despite losing an arm or leg gained a fake leg and hand created ‘Hero Lust’. The hero can create something even though it is still in the form of a plan, until finally he uses the abilities of his hero to help injured officers. However, he still has not been able to create something very complicated, such as ‘ bionic’ eyes because not a single hero has ever seen the technology directly before.

He is now the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Alliance to fight Indonesia and its ally, the Hero of Anger known as ‘Rio’.

Other Alliance heroes and officers wore Rio –-designed uniforms he took from the TNI PDU referrals. He threw a 7.62mm bullet projectile from his assault rifle that had killed several Indonesian soldiers in the previous war.

“Ta-but, Hero Furious. Small teams of enemies are said to be able to repel 400 soldiers on the first attack. Then, the enemy relief force guarding the border almost destroyed 5,000 of our troops. Survivors also gave us information, they were led by someone nicknamed ‘Life’,”

“ That jerk, he has accumulated too much experience. Am I not right, Hero of Anger?” The Lonely Hero of the Russian Federation, the man named Feliks said grimly with the other Alliance higher-ups who were in this room.

Although the nine heroes had escaped from the battlefield after the Indonesian troops received unexpected assistance, but they still got a shiny badge. They are the indispensable figure of his power over the war with Indonesia and its allies. The heroes and high-ranking members of the Alliance continued their secret meetings, as if trying to hide from the crowds of those celebrating the Change of Years.

“I told you I'm no longer a part of them, and that person has now been listed on the list of people I most want to kill. Regarding the recent defeat, we must immediately take countermeasures.”

The Hero of Sadness, aka Indah could not ask Rio to stop saying as if Nio and Indonesia had become his enemies after he gained incredible strength from being the Hero of Anger. But, he was also unable to oppose what the Alliance asked for, even if it would destroy the world that Indonesia was in.

“However, thank God the enemy is not trying to retaliate for the attack for now,” Hero of Anxiety, as well as a former Israeli soldier named Gurion connecting the conversation.

“They reset their forces, even involving Russia and North Korea.”

“Even forces as strong as the TNI must require the help of North Korea and Russia only after losing a few of their soldiers in the previous war.”

“But, this we can use to compile the power to counterattack.”

The first attack targeting the small forces of the Guild at the border must be avenged. An avenging force of 70,000 soldiers and their new weapons were being prepared. In the first attack on the border, they have gained some information, including Indonesia's alliance with North Korea and Russia in addition to them being reinforced with new weapons.

“Si Undead from Indonesia-“ before Baron finished his words, Rio almost spouted wine after hearing the man's words.

“Do-not..”

“Yeah, surely that person is not Nio, he was already seriously injured after the attack Beautiful that time.”

Beautiful face looks turned bitter after hearing Baron say that with a very confident face. However, he was certain that Nio would not die so easily due to the attack that pierced through the young man's shoulder.

“Are you sure you can beat that guy? You could have run away again after meeting a person named ‘Life’.”

All the heroes seemed not to be upset or anything like that after hearing the words of Emperor Otsoa of the Duiwel Empire, their faces looked ordinary until the emperor drank a mouthful of wine to get rid of his embarrassment.

“Do you think heroes still have no place, even though we tried to save ourselves from the battlefield?”

“But, victory in battle should not be on the shoulders of the hero.”

Then, all the heroes looked at each other and Baron and Rio just smiled cynically at Otsoa's words.

“Do not worry..”

The Hero of Lust, the Baron, took out something still wrapped in a twisted black cloth from behind his seat. Then he placed the as-yet-unknown object on the table after Rio removed the wine glasses.

“... I've done something with the power that could create this thing. I'm sure, this thing can strengthen the Alliance in the next war.”

Just looking from the shape, the entire male hero looks able to recognize it easily even though the wrapping cloth has not been opened. Meanwhile, the Alliance higher-ups who felt that the heroes they summoned were only a group of people who had run away during the war with mocking smiles. However, Rio gave off a cold, well-sharpened warrior aura.

“Thanks to the knowledge of Angry Heroes, I can create this old weapon.”

Baron showed an exaggerated expression of confidence, but it made the Alliance higher-ups even more curious about the ‘’ old weapon that Baron had created thanks to the knowledge of the Rio warrior. Bogat who felt confident that this weapon was able to match the ‘stick cannon’ owned by Yekirnovo and the rifle owned by the Indonesian troops stepped forward, and opened the cloth that wrapped the object called the weapon.

Technology capable of countering the power of enemy weapons is indispensable, and every day scientists and weapons experts from Alliance member countries continue to experiment to create weapons that can defeat enemies quickly. The Alliance's ambition is to defeat Indonesian forces and their allies, then starting a larger-scale war to let the world know if the Alliance is the strongest is the result of their confidence from the power of the gods that the hero has and the perseverance of his people.

Before the establishment of the Alliance, each country would do anything to get the best weapon craftsmen. However, after the Alliance was born they did not need to do some sort of ‘knapping’ to get experts and weapon craftsmen, and they could work together to develop or create weapons to raise the name of the Alliance in this world.

After opening the cloth that covered this old weapon, the entire people in this place immediately forgot that the heroes could only escape from the battlefield and stared at the weapon with faces of confusion and admiration. Meanwhile, Bogat holds the weapon of creation of the Hero of Lust with the ambition of defeating and controlling Indonesia is getting higher.

In the nearly four years of war with Indonesia raging, the Luan Empire and other countries felt swords and metal armor were weapons to be upgraded, and making new weapons is a waste of dwindling budgets. They may have hated the action of the heroes who fled the battlefield, but the existence of weapons of their creation is what makes them feel they can not do anything without the heroes.

It might be a weapon that might be able to match the long black steel stick belonging to the forces of ‘otherworld’ – but looks much different from the weapons belonging to the Hero of Anger or enemy forces – and appears weaker. However, they could only think of how to defeat a powerful enemy, and would accept this weapon happily as long as it could compensate for the enemy's long-range fighting ability.

“Military Indonesia calls this weapon with ‘SP-1’.”

That's how Baron and Rio introduced ‘new weapons’ the result of their ability cooperation. Rio used weapon knowledge while still a prospective Student Army soldier, including with ‘tak deliberately’ get knowledge about weapons produced by domestic companies from the first to his 20th Attack Gun. Then, the strength of the hero that the Baron has allows him to make or create something just by looking at the design or form of the components of the objects he wants to create.

Why would everyone spend this precious time planning the next war?

“Now it's my turn...!”

As the girls ran in the bathhouse with beautiful young limbs, their bare feet stepped on the floor made of marble-like material. The incoming light reflects their brownish and white skin that is characteristic of girls living in tropical countries and countries that have four seasons such as Russia and North Korea.

“... Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!”

Gita raises her voice as she cheers a very different spirit than usual as she plunges into the pool. Warm splashes of water spread everywhere and it is very difficult to avoid them. It is difficult to see the bottom of a rock-cut pool through steamy water, but the pool is deep enough to dive in without any problems.

As if no longer having the feeling of grief – after the death of his father in the previous war, Gita with a happy expression drowned himself until only his head was above the water. Then, he stretched out his limbs and enjoyed his floating body leisurely.

“This... very convenient~”.

Ro Ga Eun who happened to be hit by the splash of water that Gita produced when jumping into the pool, furrowed her eyebrows with the face of a sweet East Asian girl.

“Gita! Grown up a little in the host country! If there was a captain maybe he would talk like that.”

“But, Ae Ri, isn't it amazing to be able to bathe in another world bath?”

Yes, they are taking a bath, but the word ‘mandi’ is not an accurate word for those who are swimming in this large and luxurious bathhouse. This place is part of the inn that is inhabited by invited guests who attend the Change of Year ceremony. Because of the magnitude of this place, it could be the Olympic swimming pool can be inserted into it. The floor looks ancient, but does not eliminate the impression of luxury. The stone beams were meticulously arranged, and created geometric patterns on the floor.

The bath was dug in a rectangular shape and could serve as a swimming pool (for underworked visitors, such as 12th Team girls).

Then standing in the middle of the bath, it was as if dividing this place in two was a row of large stone statues, with the statue of the first king of Arevelk placed in the middle. Around it was a statue of an angel, and the pond was sprinkled with flower petals that added a soothing aroma to the steam.

And most importantly, outside of this bath was a stunning and majestic mountain range. The mountain peaks were covered with snow and the feet were covered in fog.

Glass window is ‘the latest technology’ this bath, so the outside view can be seen from this bath. Although the bath facilities are exterior design elegant and luxurious ancient times, little by little Kingdom Arevelk imported ‘kaca’ and advanced building technology from Indonesia.

The prosperity of the Kingdom of Arevelk has not changed since its establishment, which is evident by the existence of this magnificent and luxurious bath.

“This is not a bathtub, but a swimming pool with a heater under it.”

Ika spoke as she swam in the water in graceful movements of her long legs.

“Yes, it feels good, it's the right temperature to soak for a long time.”

“He said, in the past, this bath can only be used by the king and his family.”

Nam Ae Ri spoke while washing her face with warm water in her hands. He stared blankly with narrowed eyes typical of East Asia at the statues in the bathhouse.

“Maybe one company person can enter this pool at once.”

Ratna spoke while leaning her back against the edge of the pool engraved with a rose-like shape – that serves so that visitors do not slip. His black eyes scanned around, watching the other Russian and North Korean representative girls bathing or playing in the baths.

The girls who were invited to represent the Indonesian, Russian and North Korean contingents consisted of 25 people, including six female members of Team 12. And they were girls who were very lucky to be able to enjoy this beautiful otherworldly bath.

“Zefanya…! Don't just sit there! Login!”

Zefanya flinched and looked very surprised when she heard her name called Ika. He immediately hid behind one of the statues, while confirming the return of the bandages wrapped around part of his body.

“Ta-but..”.

“Mu-maybe you guys can have fun without me. I'm not used to showering together with an open like this.”

Since taking up the Russian Armed Forces and fighting with other world forces, Zefanya has hardly ever bathed with female soldiers in the same unit as her for some reason. He felt people would not be comfortable with his body partially covered in bandages, so he chose to bathe in a separate room. Even when carrying out the task of guarding the border with his new team, Zefanya always takes the last bath so as not to be with other female members.

Zefanya has never shown herself with an open body like this – and certainly not open until all parts of her body are visible. In his nervousness, Zefanya tries to get out of the bath rather than the bandage wrapped around a part of his body loose without him knowing, and will show the unexpected… and it might make the members he had considered friends stay away from him. Ika was eager to stop Zefanya's steps that had opened the exit of the bath.

Then, all the female members of Team 12 moved quickly in order to prevent Zefanya from exiting the bathing area.

“Why are you, Zefanya? I won't forgive you if you hide a little secret from us.”

Gita's words sounded like a threat to Zefanya. Then, the gazes of the tallest girl in the 12th Team, Ika, were almost the same as the gazes of those who had seen the condition of her body before.

“What is it because of the bandages wrapped around your body that make you feel we will be annoyed with it?”

Zefanya tried to deny Ratna's words nervously, “Ti-no-“

“Come, Zefanya. We are now a family. We won't be a problem with all your condition, as bad as it is.”

Zefanya doesn't manage to make him keep his secret hidden, but, in fact he felt very amazed that the Indonesian team members who were browner than him could confidently soak together even though they had one or her scar on his body. But, the injury to his body was a terrible thing, even to himself – and that was what caused him to stay away and be alone while still struggling in his home unit.

So, Zefanya thought that confidence was not the main thing for her to show her body condition to her friends now. He was only worried about what the female members of the 12th Team did after he showed her the condition of his body would be the same as his comrades had done before. So he chose not to go soaking together, and covered his body with a towel while tightening the bandages on his body.

“Aaaah!”

It was a small scream from Zefanya who was shocked after Ika's hands hugged her body, followed by the entire female team members.

“…. You know, guys..”.

Hearing the voice of the girl in the bathhouse next door that was bounded by a wall 20 centimeters thick and three meters high, Arif grumbled with a sigh. His mind was only fixed on the voice of the girl and the splash of water in the bath next door, but he forced himself not to act recklessly.

“... It's serious, I'm already at the limit. Can't they not let out a scream or words that sound seductive?”

“Not that they can because they don't see us?” Hassan muttered wearily while staring at the ceiling, and his answer only made Arif grow grumpy.

Ferdi and Hendra's entire body had been flushed red despite only a few minutes ago soaking, and Yogi, Herman, were, and Kaikoa both closed their eyes with their hands to survive in the baths that were slightly higher than the women's. Yandi, Ardi, and Sigit sang a marching song of the Student Army to themselves with trembling voices, and desperately drowned out the voices of the girl.

The existence of men may be realized by women. Then the walls can be easily jumped by men who have reached their limits.

Incidentally, the inn they used offered a mixed bath with da*am clothes. Thus, the women controlled the right side of the bath, but the men were forced to occupy the left side out of fear.

Representatives of the Indonesian, North Korean and Russian contingents invited more men than women. However, with the baths large enough to accommodate a bomber, men somehow felt their place was narrower than the area used by women. The atmosphere in the male territory was very awkward, and all the male members of the 12th Team wore complicated expressions.

Putting aside Bima, who had uncontrollable emotions at times, even Nio who had a quick reaction if the opportunity arose, and Agus, and Bayu who could not read the situation at all, they're all completely silent.

The atmosphere is unbearable.

“Remember my friend, we are currently on duty,” said Bayu.

“I'm sorry, maybe I should have arranged our team's shower schedule.”

However, replacing the bath with the girls is not the right solution. Nio felt that discussing it with the women, would only result in an unwanted debate.

That's when ‘ betrothed’ Kambana and Ivy's lover, Jonathan and Liben looked at Nio with a naughty smile like a chili-cabean.

“You're still alive Nio? I thought you were ripe here. Tell me, what's on your mind, man?”

“Be quiet.”

Jonathan and Liben's eyes were fixed on Nio, who remained silent without looking towards the two of them. The changing rooms in this bath are all rooms. And because this bath is almost mixed, the exit from the dressing room leads directly to the bath. Therefore, there is only one way out. And if not at the right time, it could be that men and women will meet accidentally.

“Sial, it turns out everyone wears swimsuits.”

“Who cares?”

“Does having a Sigiz queen really be very big?”

In less than a second, Nio's sharp eyes became so intense and stared intently at Arif and Yogi. Without wasting any time, Nio clasped the heads of the two who failed to avoid his grasp, and he forcefully dipped them into the water. The eyes of Nio according to its members are indeed quite sharp from the people of Indonesia in general.

The girls next door suddenly heard a voice for help from the male territory, where Nio and the others were.

“Lieutenant! I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, but stop drowning our heads!”

“Oh, my hand slipped.

”At least use reasonable and trusted reasons! I almost died knowing!”

Liben and Jonathan then said:

“Hey, you guys better not try to tease the girl he likes. He will change to another mode if he has to deal with such things.”

“Yah.. at least you have sacrificed to try to reach the goal.”.

“Looks like I have an idea,” Sigit said.

All the male members of Team 12, including Liben and Jonathan turned to look at him questioningly.

“I want to compare sizes.”

Liben then replied, “Better not, because it is clear who the owner of the largest. I'm afraid you'll be heartbroken after seeing the man's size.”

Then a moment of silence.

After that all the male members stood up and began to compare the size of their anu which was covered in black uniform swim trousers.

“Hah, mine is bigger than Sergeant Hassan!”

“But mine is bigger than Hendra's!”

Hendra was silent.

“And mine is bigger than Yogi!” sigit

“But yours is smaller than Kaikoa's!”

Kaikoa remained silent.

“Better you guys are Lieutenant.”

“Heh, what size captain?” arif said with a cynical smile.

Nio just shut up.

However, he then stood up while answering the challenges of his subordinates to show his anus in order to be able to measure who the largest owner of anu was. She showed hers with a smile of pride, and increasingly smiled widely after seeing the heartbroken face of her subordinates after seeing hers.

“Come, guys, where's the cheer for me? Or whatever after seeing mine-“

Before Nio finished his sentence, Bima picked up the bucket and threw it at him, and hit his anus. The fact that she was right about Nio's anu was impressive, in fact she also felt envious like the other men after seeing Nio's.

All who saw the action of Bima could only hope that Nio rested quietly.
