Training PPK candidates in the next few days have reached the last test stage, and only 4 more tests have not been carried out.

For almost 4 months as many as 10 soldiers were repatriated to the original Unit due to various things.

Those who are discharged experience severe fatigue due to undergoing a very draining test.

Because when they are part of the special forces of these students, they are required to complete the task calmly, quietly and as soon as possible under the danger of eyeing.

It was also in accordance with the function of Special Student Forces, namely combat reconnaissance troops. While on a reconnaissance mission they must enter enemy territory.

The possibility of them being known to the enemy in carrying out missions is also not small.

Midnight in the male soldier barracks. Actually the night is not too late because it still shows at 22:41 WIB. But all the soldiers were allowed to rest faster than usual.

Because before they had to sleep above 1 pm and wake up at 4 am to run 5 km. It also depends on what tests are done. If the tests do not take long, all soldiers can sleep above 11 pm.

This place was quite quiet although some soldiers slept while snoring but not too loud.

Meanwhile, Nio is seen asleep with a face full of pleasure again.

Yes it is indeed not surprising because Ivy stopped by this place to meet Nio again.

Because he always did not get a satisfactory answer from Nio to the question.

Ivy if met with Nio always asked if he was a person in the prophecy in his world. But Nio always answers with answers that are confusing and unclear.

That requires Ivy to meet Nio until he gets the answer he wants.

Ivy is seen sitting again on the body of Nio who fell asleep in a supine position. Since Ivy is ‘anotherworldly person’, she can sit on top of Nio without making him feel heavy.

It seemed that Nio was slowly opening his eyes as he felt that someone was nearby.

“You again,” said Nio calmly because you have often experienced this.

“Good, you are used to my arrival,” replied Ivy.

Nio slowly rose from his sleep because he was actually unable to sleep. Yes, who can sleep after undergoing tests such as crawling in the mud while showered with arrows.

Yes, using arrows because the enemy does not use firearms like Earth's military. Of course, the trainer uses automatic arrows so as not to continuously pull the bow.

“Do you want to ask about it again?” tanya Nio who was used to communicating with Ivy.

“Of course, until I get the answer I will continue to come to you,” replied Ivy.

“Then you are no different from the original kuntilanak.”

After hearing Nio's reply, Ivy brought out a fire from the tip of her index finger which made Nio startled and immediately grabbed Ivy's hand.

“Why can you let out a fire?, are you another world person?” asked Nio in an interrogating tone.

“Why are you only aware now?, not that you should have realized because only you can see me?” Ivy replied while releasing her hand from Nio's grip easily and the fire coming out from her fingertips had already been extinguished.

Nio was of course surprised because Ivy who broke away easily and suddenly sat on the edge of the bed while swinging her legs.

Nio then also approached Ivy saying, “How do I know that I am the one in your prophecy?”

“Not my prophecy, but the prophecy my world fortune teller foretold. Do you hate numbers?” answer and ask back Ivy which makes Nio surprised.

He knew what Ivy meant and replied, “I don't hate numbers, I just hate numbers and formulas.”

Hearing Nio's reply, Ivy was seen breathing a sigh of relief. Ivy then recalls the other characteristics of the predicted person.

But before Ivy opened his mouth, seen from the barracks window two shadows passed and walked to the entrance of the barracks.

“What is search team?” muttered Ivy who thought that it was the troops who were looking for him and Ilhiya.

Without saying anything else Nio jumped from the bed on the second floor and there was Rio below him.

However it did not make anyone else wake up because Nio landed gently without making any sound.

He turned to his bed to see if Ivy was still there or gone. Ivy was not in his place earlier which indicated that Ivy was gone.

Nio pressed his right ear against the door to hear the voice of the person behind it if there was one. He heard a noise from behind the door.

Nio quickly opened the door that shocked the person behind it and brandished the end of his rifle barrel to the head of the wrong person behind the door.

Hearing a noise, the entire army woke up and turned on the lights to see what was happening.

“Why did he do that?” muttered Rio who saw Rio aiming the barrel of his rifle at his own head coach.

“Wah is a surprise. Apparently there is still one person who is very vigilant huh?” said the coach whose head was poked by Nio.

Nio widened his eyes as the two suspicious-looking shadows were his own trainers.

“Ma-forgive me!” nio said firmly and put his rifle behind his body.

“It's okay. We were going to do a vigilance test. But what we got was surprising,” said the other coach.

“Because I just saw and heard a noise from outside, so I tried to check it.”

The two coaches then smiled as they patted both of Nio's shoulders. The smiling coach of course made Nio and the rest of the barracks residents surprised. Because their coach shows their face more often.

Without permission, the two trainers entered the barracks while carrying 2 pieces of cardboard that do not know what the contents are.

All the soldiers got off the bed quickly and stood up in a prepared manner.

“Already, because today you get a free day. But remember, just for today,” said one of the coaches.

All the soldiers are certainly very happy with the rare things obtained if they want to join the special forces and other special units.

The coach opened the two boxes they were carrying with the fighting knife and showed them the contents.

Nio who was still near the two coaches was peeking at the contents of the cardboard in the form of a book.

One of the trainers took the contents of both boxes of one fruit each. In his hand there is a comic and novel that when viewed from the cover genre of action and fantasy.

“Do you guys know why we bring fantasy comics and novels?” ask the coach who holds both of those things.

The entire soldiers just looked at each other and then shook their heads in unison.

“Because of our opponent from another world?” muttered Nio who was heard by his coach.

“True, you must read this book to get knowledge about the fantasy world. Since we see enemies using dragons and technology like fantasy worlds in these novels and comics,” is definitely again one of the trainers.

Nio only smiled obliquely after listening to his coach's explanation and said in his heart, “Suddenly so otaku nih.”

Then the two trainers ordered all the soldiers to each take 2 comics and 2 novels.

Elsewhere, Ivy finds Ilhiya resting in front of the store and sees some young people hanging out there.

Since the two of them could not be seen by anyone else except the person they wanted, Ilhiya and Ivy had nothing to fear from being thrown around by the group of young people hanging out.

Maybe hanging out is not the right word, because they are seen carrying clurits and other sharp weapons which means they are doing night patrols. Of course they brought sharp weapons to fight if the enemy from the other world came to this place.

Because if Ivy and Ilhiya appear, most likely women around the world feel jealous, both Russian and Japanese women.

“Master, I'm hungry..” lamented Ivy.

“You may eat if you have reported what you did,” Ilhiya replied while taking out a packet of torn bread.

“Alright, I just got one answer from that guy. He doesn't like numbers. But before I asked the others, me and he saw there were 2 shadows.”

“Maybe it's a search force. Ah, that means we have to keep moving. But good, we get 2 out of 4 traits of people in the prophecy.”

“But why should he?, instead there are many warriors in this world who do not like the numbers?”

“Is there a soldier who is so fond of numbers that it makes his head hurt?. If you can't believe you can show him this.”

Ilhiya issued a book that was filled with formulas with no letters except the cover part of the book.

“Alright, I'll try,” Ivy replied after receiving the book.
