The underground city of Karanganyar City has been getting news from the training ground of PPK candidates. Herlina was personally contacted by Major Sugeng's phone call as the person in charge of training.
Sugeng gave the news if Nio led one of the squads in training while conducting a community approach test. And the team gets perfect grades and all members will get awards.
This makes the Team led by Nio get the perfect score because it managed to gain the trust of all residents of Kwangsan Village and residents feel that this Rregu is very helpful and protective.
As well as the thing that makes all members of Team 3 will get the award for successfully paralyzing 3 enemy soldiers who fled.
But the awards that all members will get are not the same. Because Nio divides Squad 3 into 2 groups namely; guard groups and search groups.
It is not yet known what awards all members of Team 3 will receive. They will find out after this training is completed and will be given when all members of Team 3 return to their respective Units.
That means the submission of the award is carried out by the Company Commander of each member of Team 3.

In the study room, Herlina looked very happy after getting the news. Moreover, Nio who is safe and only suffers minor injuries due to enemy attacks.
“I have to tell him...” said Herlina who ran quickly out of her study.
He ran towards the dormitory that Nio was staying in and there was only Nio's older brother there. Yes, because Arunika is Herlina's goal.
He continued running even to the point of disturbing the other soldiers who were training.
Jo who saw Herlina running fast with a happy face said in her heart, “Nio did not express his feelings to the Captain right?”
After arriving at the dorm doorstep, Herlina knocked on the door quickly and loudly while saying, “Excuse me, this is me Herlina..”.
Arunika who left Lisa to do her work immediately stepped towards the voice while saying, “Ya, briefly...”.
Shortly after Arunika opened the door, Herlina immediately entered the room without permission from the occupants and said, “I have news for you..”.
With a surprised face because Herlina was too happy she replied, “me-what is it?.”
Herlina took a breath and explained the news she received about Nio and the Squad she led would earn an award after the training they had done was completed.
“That means he's fighting the enemy right!?” arunika asked with a very anxious face towards Nio.
Because Herlina mentioned that Nio was injured while fighting enemy soldiers, but Herlina also added that Nio was in good condition.
“Let's just relax, she only received a few scratches and is still alive.”
Arunika can breathe a sigh of relief even though she was almost no longer strong when standing.
“Then, when will he come home?” ask Arunika.
“Perhaps after finishing the last test he will go home, and I am sure he will bring satisfactory results,” Herlina replied with a confident face and clenched her hands in front of her chest.
“Hopefully...”.

In the barracks where the Special Student Forces candidates are trained….
Nio became the one who woke up earlier than the rest of the barracks.
Recalling that he had not done what he was obliged to do, Nio picked up a small book that was his personal notebook.
“Two...” said Nio while writing the number 2 next to the number 1 he wrote earlier.
On top of the page of the book he wrote down both numbers written ‘Number of enemies I killed’.
After that he put the book back in his backpack.
Moments later, a sound of door breaking was heard from outside the barracks
“Can't we just rest 2 days?” muttered Nio as two coaches stood in front of the barracks with their hands folded in front of their chests and faces as firm as ever.
The entire male warrior barracks were lined up in front of their respective beds with still sleepy eyes, especially for the 3rd Squad members who had not been able to rest in peace.
A soldier must have the trauma of war, including all members of Squad 3 who yesterday faced 3 enemy soldiers.
But as aspiring special forces soldiers they must be prepared to deal with the worst on the battlefield. Including seeing body parts scattered everywhere as they saw yesterday.
“Commander of Squad 3, please go to the Major room!” said one of the coaches who made Nio look very surprised.
“Si-ready, I will prepare myself soon,” replied Nio with sweat coming out of his body that has not recovered from the wound.
The two coaches then left the barracks after telling the others to prepare for the test immediately.
“Yang patient ya gan...” said Rio who did not calm Nio at all.
Precisely Nio increasingly sighed heavily and said, “Relax, I will be responsible.”
Nio felt Major's current calling was a result of his actions killing the enemy soldiers instead of capturing the enemy.
Of course, as the command center, Squad Nio must be responsible, both for his own actions and those of its members.
Even though the members did something embarrassing, a Squad leader must still be responsible even if he was not involved in the incident.
Nio was wearing his uniform while some parts of his body were still covered in bandages. Some of the soldiers from the 3rd Squad section were also with a state like Nio and they took turns encouraging him.

Nio was already in front of the door of the room Sugeng was in, but he did not immediately knock and was still standing in front of the door.
“Sergeant Nio, why are you still here!?” said one of the coaches who suddenly appeared and made Nio so surprised that he jumped a little.
“Ready, sa-I am actually very nervous,” replied Nio with a downcast face.
“Mau rewarded kok nervous.”
The coach then knocked on the door and saluted as he faced Major Sugeng.
While Nio did not go straight into the room, he was still thinking about what his coach said.
“Award, what does it mean?” inner Nio while holding her chin.
“Sergeant Nio, quickly log in.!” snapping the coach who was talking to Nio.
“Si-ready!” answer Nio.
He slowly stepped up and passed the door line. There were only 3 people in this room, including the coach who had spoken to Nio.
The coach then closed the door tightly which made Nio even more depressed with the current circumstances.
Sugeng looked at Nio with a sharp gaze that caused more and more sweat to come out from Nio's forehead.
“Have you heard of that?” sugeng asked Nio and he was well aware that the soldier in front of him looked very nervous.
“Siap!. Sorry I don't know what you mean!” nio replied firmly with still concern for his nervousness.
Meanwhile the coach who stood upright beside Sugeng said, “Does it possible that you haven't heard the news?”
“Lettan, don't make Sergeant Nio nervous!” sugeng said with a slight smile that made Nio teriaht surprised.
“Ready!, please forgive me,” replied the Coach with a slight smile as well.
“After this training period is completed, you and all members of Team 3 will receive an award for your success in disabling 3 escaped enemies. The awards you will receive are still confidential. After this training is completed, I hope for satisfactory results from you.”
Hearing the news, Nio's eyes look sparkling until they look wet.
The two superiors before Nio clapped and were pleased with the young soldier's achievement.
“Talk to your Team members as well,” Sugeng said. In the spirit of Nio replied, “Siap!”

Nio's meeting with Major Sugeng was over, and upon arriving at the barracks all the male soldiers who were ready to practice looked at Nio who looked down.
“Member Squad 3, come out and come with me!” nio's order made the male soldiers of Squad 3 members immediately complete their running preparations.
Of course the members of the 3rd Squad who were men did not know why Nio ordered them to follow him.
Nio had also previously told the female Squad 3 members to gather at the place he had determined.
Moments later all the members of Team 3 gathered in front of Nio who looked smiling.
They were all wondering about why Nio was able to smile after facing Major Sugeng.
“Just go, after this training is finished we will all get an award for successfully disabling the enemy,” said Nio who was joined by the cheers of all members of Team 3.
But one of the 10 people Nio assigned to guard the village yesterday raised his hand and said, “Please permission to talk.”
“Ya, please,” replied Nio.
“What we do is just keep the village, why can we also get the award?”
“Yes, because keeping citizens from danger doesn't also need to be appreciated?. You who guard the village yesterday will also get an award, but different from the search group get.”
After the words of Nio, all members of Team 3 cheer up to jump up and down so happy.
Some of the soldiers from the other Guilds watching could only wonder what was happening until the entire members of Squad 3 looked extremely excited.
