High School Soldier

High School Soldier
Comfortable and unsatisfied sensation


The heroes gathered in a room in the castle of their headquarters, and waited for Rio to return from his duty of raiding the capital of Arevelk Kingdom. Looks some food is not much different from food in the home country of each hero. In fact, all food is the demand of the heroes who want to taste their favorite food despite being in a world that does not know soto, tempe mendoan, hamburger, ramen, and others, with a variety of color drinks such as made from instant drink powder that is often purchased by SD children on the roadside.


No more war in the near future made them think why Rio started a battle that could potentially lead to a bigger war in the future. But, considering Rio is a former special forces soldier, and the technology of his troops who have modern rifles, makes them ‘must’ feel confident the man will bring victory. The SP-1 belonging to the Special Platoon Alliance is expected to be able to destroy Arevelk and Yekirnovo who still rely on fighting using swords and arrows.


The nine heroes that the Alliance summoned to help them wage war with the Guild had agreed to fight together, in exchange for being repatriated back to their home world after winning the war. They believe the power of numbers and the great magic of the Alliance will defeat the power of technological quality belonging to the forces of ‘otherworld’ and the power of magicians belonging to Arevelk and Yekirnovo smaller. However, they may not yet know what war really is and what its purpose is, nor do they want to understand it. They may just be trying to escape the fact that they will be facing one of the biggest military forces in the southern hemisphere, and to keep their own sanity.


After all, they believed that the Alliance was the owner of the greatest power in this world, and would win the war by exploiting those advantages.


Moreover, they also got word if the Alliance would get new members. To win the war with the technology belonging to the troops ‘otherworld’, of course they need a great power, where among the great powers there must be a greater power.


The Alliance had communicated with several countries in this world, and offered an advantage if it joined the Alliance and won the war against the Guild. Some of the current Alliance member states have also had close ties with other countries, so communication has become easier and the possibility of gaining additional power is also getting bigger. There were less than a hundred small and large countries around this world, then the Alliance felt that their victory could be assured if it managed to influence some large country to join them.


With the lure of reclaiming the Holy Land and taking control of the world of origin of enemy forces with their great might, the Alliance was confident that there would be many countries affected and joined them. Moreover, the morale of the soldiers would soar upon knowing they would gain great honor if they managed to defeat an army as strong as the Guild.


The important powers belonging to the Alliance were of course the heroes, especially the heroes of Anger and the Heroes of Lust. With the creation abilities of the Hero of Lust as well as the knowledge of modern weapons belonging to the Hero of Anger, the Alliance felt that it could obtain powerful weapons and then fuse them with their large numbers.


The Alliance currently has approximately three million soldiers, and can continue to grow if a new country joins their forces. In addition, the deployment of modern rifles created by the Hero of Lust with the knowledge of the Hero of Anger continued, and twenty percent of the troops had obtained such weapons and conducted training. Most likely the two heroes will continue to create modern weapons that come from their world, so that it can match the weapons of the ‘world troops another’ who defeated them easily in the first battle against the Expeditionary Force.


Theodore spent some of his meal time talking with Indah, and the Baron looked at the two of them anxiously. After all, Hero Iri Hati aka Theodore was able to defeat him in battle practice some time ago, and that made him miss the opportunity to approach Indah. Although he knew there was one more rival to get the Beautiful.


After they finished eating, the entire hero was approached by an Alliance official with a restless face. He was the warlord of the Empire's Sirds for the Alliance, and one of the most influential people in the society.


“Honored hero, I have a bad feeling about the attack by the Hero of Anger.”


The Russian Lonely Hero named Evgeniy stood up to respond to the officer's words. The man walked a few steps, and tried to calm the officer down a little.


“What's the problem? Isn't Rio and his platoon already strong enough?”


Rio had twenty platoons in his Alliance Special Platoon, and two platoons according to some Alliance officers were strong enough to fight a company of cavalrymen.


“It's almost noon, and the Angry Hero hasn't returned yet. I believe the troops are very strong, but the delay in returning the troops deeply troubling me.”


“If it is, what should we do?” ask the Hero of Happiness, Kalle.


“You all should remember the magic used to call you here. The witches believe you guys are also capable of doing so as well to retrieve Mr. Rio and his army.”


“Boleh too, besides I can't wait to hear the results Rio.” got

Hundreds of soldiers of Arevelk Kingdom, Yekirnovo, and other ‘world’ contingents gathered in the courtyard of Cloud Palace. After hearing the news that the battle with the enemy had been won by the 12th Team of 20 members, the central headquarters sent some representatives to check if the news was fact or just exaggerated news. Of course they couldn't believe it for granted if Team 12 fought against two platoons and one hero belonging to the Alliance, and managed to deliver victory. But, when the informant added if the team was assisted by Hevaz, they could only accept if the victory made sense, including after seeing one of the 12th Team personnel injured after the fight.


Many people praised the brave fight of the small team, and did not forget the twenty-five sacrifices of Arevelk soldiers who died while restraining the enemy's movement from moving further and further into the territory of Iztok City. The funeral of dozens of Arevelk soldiers was conducted honorably, and was attended by members of the 12th Team. Thanks to their sacrifice, the team is able to find enemy positions easily, and defeat them in a grueling fight.


Because the main news is the victory obtained, Hin, Sigiz, and Suroso – who have not returned to their home world, congratulate and thank Team 12 for the victory and assistance provided to defend the city from the sudden invasion of the enemy. They managed to capture nine Alliance soldiers, one of whom the enemy commander defeated himself by the team captain despite having to end up seriously injured. They were all in fine condition, except for their captain who was still in treatment.


Rio – in full body condition scuffed – and his face like after being beaten by hundreds of people, dragged with a chain attached to his neck and connected with the necks of his captured subordinates. Tanaga Rio was drained out after the ‘weight next to’ fight with Nio, and his mentality had collapsed to the most basic level. He and his eight subordinates were dragged by Arevelk warriors who had a height of 2 meters, with the supervision of fifty other elite soldiers – who were ready to torture them if they planned resistance back.


They were dragged violently by the tall and large Arevelk soldier towards the courthouse. It was the most gentle way for Arevelk to treat their prisoners of war. If Suroso and the other ‘worldly contingent’ do not say something named ‘International War Laws’, each of them will be dragged by being tied to a horse's body, he said, and when the prisoners fainted from exhaustion, they would be stabbed with spears or whipped, and forced the prisoners to stand up again. In this way, the captives would lose the will and strength to fight or flee, and it was also part of the process of mentally destroying them before being sold as slaves.


Suroso granted Arevelk the right to take care of the captives he obtained, and he said Arevelk was free to treat prisoners who had wounded a soldier to the point of being seriously wounded. He looked like a demon when he said that, and stared coldly at the captives from his seat in the court. He will not return to Indonesia before the decision to deal with the captives is obtained, as well as waiting for the award ceremony for the 12th Team and the fallen Arevelk soldiers. After all, after he arrived in Indonesia, Suroso will again be confronted by the behavior of ‘vice of the people’ that is not clear.


He sat beside Hin, while Sigiz sat in the nicest seat among the others, and beside Sigiz was the Great Witch. The existence of Suroso in court was a new sight for the nobles of the government and the region, considering that the man wore a different outfit than the others. They all paid respect to the leader of the Arevelk's strongest ally country, and spoke in a very polite manner.


Even the supreme commander of the Arevelk Royal Army, Zvail, was shaken after seeing the condition of the face of the enemy commander who was a hero. He imagined what Nio did to the Enraged Hero who was successfully captured. After all, being able to make the face of a battered hero like that was an incredible achievement. And if the person who did that lived in the Kingdom of Arevelk, it is certain that the person was immediately appointed to be the military commander of this country without going through the selection process or anything.


On the other hand, Zvail and most of the people present in the court felt restless, afraid, nervous, angry who became one. They were afraid and restless if the actions of someone who caused the Hero of Anger to be severely injured would cause a very great conflict in the future, he said, they were nervous if the man who beat up the hero was present in this place, and they were angry with what the hero and his army had done to the citizens and the city.


The queen and the rest of the people in this place were extremely grim and showed an angry expression towards the nine captives. The captives were aware that the eyes of the whole people were on them, and showed a heart-piercing look of hatred. However, the eyes of the Enraged Hero covered by his swollen face showed a look of hatred towards the queen of this country. His desire to obtain the queen of the Kingdom of Arevelk had to be replaced with her severely injured face, and the blood that stained her face had not been cleansed.


Some of Rio's subordinates sobbed and begged for mercy even before the trial began. Rio's entire subordinate trembled, and displayed an unbearable feeling of fear as if they could die with just the hateful gaze of the entire person in the court place.


“Any act that endangers my country and my people, no matter whether the culprit is a hero, a high-level knight, or an ordinary warrior, even a slave. Will get the same punishment as what was done,” the queen, Sigiz, has spoken about her verdict against the captives in front of her. He did not care if they were still in a weak physical and mental state after the fight, punishment should still be given despite the resistance.


Of course this is a decision after going through several considerations, including the status of both parties. In fact, Sigiz himself was confused to think of a way to apologize to Nio, so he had to do various ways for Nio to accept his apology.


Suroso stared at the captives coldly and sharply, with little effort to make them look cool. He exuded the aura of a leader of a powerful country, as well as someone who still had young blood flowing in his soul. He was still a very young leader of the country, even though he had his wife and son Suroso kept smiling when a noble woman glanced at him.

“Aduh, duh, aaa.”.


His head hurts, his back hurts, his legs hurt, his left hand hurts, Nio feels almost all his body hurts except for his right hand which is a metal hand made.


After regaining consciousness after several hours of falling asleep, Nio forcefully opened his eyes to see nothing but darkness. Nio remembered that he was almost unconscious after the fight ended when the sun rose, but after that his entire vision darkened. Whether he was asleep until night, or he was locked up in a dark room.


However, what made him nervous was the soft sensation that enveloped him, which made him feel very comfortable and was accompanied by a bad premonition. He looked around to try to see where he was now. His head was still hurting, but he tried to support himself.


And then, a pair of hands gently stopped Nio who was trying to get up.


This pair of hands gently pushed him back onto the bed and enveloped him.


After that, he saw someone was doing something that made the lower part of his body feel warm?


Nio then glanced down at the bottom of his body to see what made him feel good. Even this sensation was much more comfortable if he did it himself, even to the point of giving him goosebumps of ease.


“Ah ~ what made you wake up, Mister?”


The Indonesian spoken by Edera is very fluent, and reminds Nio of the cat-eared characters in Japanese comics he has read. Edera characters are like fantasy characters in Japanese novels and comics, as well as cafe waitress Akihabara. However, Edera's figure was a real fictional character, and right before her eyes the girl was massaging her legs until she felt so comfortable. She often massages her own legs, and that doesn't make her comfortable at all. In contrast to Edera who massaged her legs with her soft and warm hands, as well as her sweet smile and her cat's two ears that moved with anxiety.


“This, where?”


“You are being treated in the care room of Cloud Palace, Sir,” the friend of Edera.


Nio nodded, as if saying “I understand”, and started trying to understand the situation.


A quick glance around shows that he is not in a dungeon or Peacekeeping Hospital in the Holy Land or similar facilities.


Nio pondered as he was being treated in a facility that could only be used by the royal family. Not to mention the ones who took care of him were the palace maids, Hevaz, Edera, Zariv, and Sheyn. Nio feels that Arunika, Lisa, and Nike have been repatriated to their origins rather than having to be in this place and get caught up in a dangerous thing like the one he experienced last night.


The one who spoke earlier was Sheyn, then the girl helped Nio sit down so that the young man could drink at least one sip of water.


Then, he looked around again, and saw some servants who realized that being stared at by him bowed gracefully. Some of the maids looked taller than Arunika but shorter than her.


“Events? Will there be another event after this?”


“Yah. Looks like he will give you and your subordinates a gift, award or something,” Sheyn replied.


Several servants were seen thanking Nio who had faced the enemy's sudden invasion. They also said there would be a tribute ceremony for people involved in the fight against the enemy. Thanks to the help of Nio and his subordinates, the city was spared great damage, and made the city's refurbishment even faster.


All the soldiers on duty in Iztok City had been scattered throughout the city, especially the troops who were not involved in the battle that could not follow as a relief force. Sigiz had ordered his elite and regular troops to patrol the inner parts of the city and the outer regions of the city.


“Please tell us whatever you need, Tuanku.”


There were a total of eight palace servants who helped take care of Nio, and one of them said that. Four of the servants were from the human race, while the one who spoke to Nio and the other three servants came from the cat-eared Demihuman race, rabbits, and raccoons.


Nio did not know how to answer the cute girls and beautiful women who told him that. But, Nio's happy face invited the opposite reaction from the other girls. Hevaz is ready with his giant scythe, Edera is on war mode, Sheyn is ready to get Nio back battered, and Zariv is ready to make Nio seriously injured with his magic.


Nio knew what would happen if he fought against a person who possessed strength exceeding his own, and this was what he got after the fight ended despite successfully surviving. His goal of capturing the enemy commander, Rio, was a very foolish thing, as he himself did not understand his opponent due to the lack of information. All he could do was fight bravely so that his opponent would not have a stronger chance to fight back. And being surrounded by many beautiful and sweet girls made her physical and mental pain begin to diminish.


Nio knew that if he was in such a dangerous situation, even he thought that he would not be able to control the girls as easily as taming a mine. The four girls looked sullen and displayed extremely strong killing gazes. However, being surrounded by many girls made Nio feel like he was in heaven.


Moments later, the door of the room was knocked by someone and Hevaz allowed the person to enter.


The one who entered Nio's treatment room was an elite Arevelk warrior, and when he saw Hevaz in this place, the soldier suddenly saluted the War God worshipper. The God of War is an existence that is believed to provide power for a soldier, so that he can fight without fear of death. Moreover, the God of War was the figure of Judgment and the Controller of War. And Nio felt that Hevaz wasn't an arbitrary figure, but why did he respect me so much?


“Mr Nio, His Highness Sigiz and the king of your country call you to attend the trial.”


The king? Nio smiled faintly as the soldier said that. On the other hand, he felt annoyed and angry if he had to meet again with Rio, even though he had managed to get him battered.


“Ya, I'll be there soon.”


**


Nio was wearing his daily uniform, complete with a gun on his left waist, which was certain his clothes were already more fitting. Bandages wrapped around a part of his body are still visible, and if he is in a state of bare chest then it will be seen bandages wrapped around his entire injured back. Fortunately, there were no broken bones or other heavy injuries that Nio suffered after fighting with a hero. He walked in accompanied by the four girls, accompanied by the respectful gazes of the people present at the trial.


“Please, don't look at me like that,” Nio says it in his heart, and thinks saying it out loud will only make people do things he hates, too respected for example.


Knowing that Nio arrived at the trial venue, Rio turned his head back and looked at Nio, he looked and glared at Nio with a face full of bruises and blood, his eyes filled with anger.


But Nio paid no heed to Rio's hateful gaze he got, his heart felt a very satisfied taste after successfully making a battered hero. He saw Rio's neck and hands as well as the other captives being tied up and held back by chains that seemed to be quite heavy. However, he still had to respect the traditions of the court of this country.


He faced Suroso then saluted according to procedure, and sat down with his subordinates after his president returned a salute from him.


In the Alliance, strength was everything for the sake of winning the battle. As long as people have enormous power, you can do things at will, such as berate people at the president's level.


“Yeah, I think the Indonesian military is getting weaker, thanks to your leadership President Suroso.”


Suroso frowned, then his face changed and showed an amazingly confused expression.


“Nio, who's the battered person?”


Without looking at his face Nio already knew if the person Suroso meant was Rio.


“One of the heroes that the Alliance has, one of the strongest people that the Alliance has, one of the Indonesians who became a hero belongs to the Alliance, a former TNI soldier – Student Army like me, he said, she's named Rio.”


Without a second thought Suroso stood up from his seat, and stood before Rio who had spoken impudently towards him. Seeing that, the entire 12th Team personnel and the headquarters envoy were on standby if Rio would harm Suroso.


“Traitors don't deserve to talk like that.”


The person in front of him only smiled at his words, and gave off a puzzling impression.


“Yes, I was expecting to get that title. Besides, with my strength now, Indonesia – even the whole world will be destroyed. I'm much stronger than the TNI and any army.”


Suroso's eyes widened in disbelief at what he heard from a Rio. To be honest, he was still able to contain his anger which was already at its peak. But Suroso realized that in front of him was one of the strongest people belonging to the enemy.


“Lieutenant...!!!” nio's entire subordinates shouted loudly like that when their captain suddenly jumped from the audience's seat and dashed quickly towards Rio. Without thinking long Nio again kicked Rio's head at a very high speed until the head of the Angry Hero hit the floor very hard. The sound of Rio's head hitting the floor echoed throughout the room. He did just that as if he was not satisfied making Rio almost dying like before. It was seen that blood splashes were created around Rio's head that was still on the floor. Rio's entire subordinate trembled violently after seeing what befell their commander, even the pants of one of them were already wet.


Nio then raised Rio's head in a way to grab his hair, Nio's face looks very cold when doing so even though his body is still injured. As long as it concerned the president's self-esteem, Nio felt it was very necessary to do something like break someone's head. Maintaining the honor of the leader of the country was very sacred, and a state tool like Nio was obliged to carry out that task, even it had to kill the enemy in front of the president.


Rio's forehead was bleeding profusely, and now the entire face of the Enraged Hero was covered with his own blood to drip and stain the floor. Hin and Suroso trembled after Nio's action made the prisoner's condition so terrible. Rio looked still conscious, and his face looked even more terrifying than before. Even the Paspampres who were in this room felt unable to act like Nio.


A person who has betrayed his own country, then insulted the person who has been chosen to lead a country is deliberately considered the most despicable act, and that became the basis for Nio to do the thing that made Rio's condition worse.


“Shut your mouth, asshole! I will not forgive anyone who insults the President,” Nio is cold as ice and sharp as a knife.


“Well, I think you have ignited the fire of a much bigger war, Nio,” Rio said in a haughty tone. He spat out a mouthful of blood and again littered the trial room with his blood. Rio was able to say that because he was a power-owning figure that the Alliance desperately needed.


“I don't care what you say from your rotten mouth, man. All I care about is that you've insulted the president, attacked the capital of the Kingdom of Arevelk, and killed many civilians. All your deeds after becoming a hero are much lower than dirt. Even dirt is still worth holding, and for me killing someone like you is not sinful.”


“Stop saying shit, man. Then, before you kill me, I will kill you first! Hahahahahah~!”


Nio could see Rio was extremely trembling. Acting and saying like that so boldly was most likely a tool to divert the fear that Rio was experiencing. Rio's explosive laughter was an insult to Nio and everyone else in this place, except for his subordinates.


“You think I'm afraid of babbling pigs like you?.” Nio said in a calm tone.


“...Killing a pig like you will absolutely not get me convicted,” he continued.


The atmosphere was still gripping, then Nio prepared his gun in semi-automatic mode, then pointed it at Rio's head.


“Nio! Hold!” suroso Command.


The sound of three shots echoing throughout the room shocked everyone, including a white light and a circle adorned with dazzling geometric patterns. Nio was sure he had shot Rio with a 9mm projectile from his gun, but the white light was the cause of Rio and his entire subordinates disappearing from the courtroom.


Rio and his entire subordinates who had yet to be sentenced suddenly disappeared the moment the white circle appeared. It shocked everyone, and upset Nio that one of the strongest enemies of the Peace Forces was saved.
