Living in a Shield World
Worst celebration

WORST CELEBRATION

Today, my father's birthday celebration, I sat alone with Hannah at the dinner table, the atmosphere in the office was crowded because there was no usual office activities, just celebrations.

I'm waiting for Hannah, in a quiet administration room. He came in with a lackluster face, I was so upset, Hannah had a nightlife I didn't know.

"You're so pale Hannah!", who was asked just to look at me, then smile.

At least consider me someone who means something to you Hannah. Don't take me out of your life.

Lunch was so good, because it was a celebration day, I had a big fight with Hannah. I want Hannah to be honest with me, but she doesn't like me asking about her nightlife. The elders in the western outback village of Edges were wrong, Hannah never loved me.

I decided to stop forcing Hannah to love me, what's the point of being together, Hannah didn't want to be honest with me.

I know Hannah lives all the less, she has to save a lot of access, because she does not bring anything from her hometown. But, at least share with me all that, I can really help.

"Dad, it looks like I'm bored in the administration, the job is too monotonous for me, I used to field work", I asked my dad to move me.

"I'm gonna take care of Millard, Andy, give yourself time, digest everything" I want me to go nowhere.

"Just stay in the underground palace, in your palace, rest there. You used to love living in that palace" Dad told me to stay in the old palace, where I grew up and hid.

Dad's idea was pretty interesting, my move to the military wasn't taken care of by Millard, a letter of request for a move, just lying on my dad's desk. I'm just hiding.

A year or so I'm Hannah's husband, can't just disappear. Everything in Hannah, it was clear in my eyes, as if it was just yesterday.

I remember the long line on Hannah's back, where the wings came out, the wings I'd never seen.

I remember Hannah's style of holding me by putting her hair in my arms, Hannah's scent, which was like the smell of flowers, made me want to hold her.

Hannah had to disappear from my life, busy making my body what it was, enough to make the days in the underground palace without Hannah.

I can't even stand the food that had too strong a floral flavor, I can't eat salmon anymore. Everything about Hannah made me breathless.

Spain took me on duty, as Andro. I still have to wear my half shield, my facial skin is still very sensitive to starlight.

I served on the Tepian, where I had the most impulsive decision during my military service, since many soldiers were exposed to parasites, I had to act quickly.

"Andro do you remember the last of your Edges?", Spain asked me on the way to the Edges.

"Of course I remember the thing that sent me to Kiehl", I replied, leaving Spain speechless.

"Why were you so impulsively sending so many soldiers and supplies to the Edge back then, unlike you, who had much to consider", Spain felt my answer was not long enough.

"Not impulsive Spain, for humanitarian reasons only"

"Humanity or....Other reasons?"

"What do you mean by others?", why did Spain keep urging me with questions about the Edges

Arriving at Tepian, I had an office where Spain worked, Spain said I was on expert staff.

"Sorry General guest from intel Tepian wanted to come face to face", just ten minutes came, Spain already visited guests.

"Report General, I'm Lingling, from Intel Edge", Spain smiled, only this time I saw Spain smiling properly at a girl.

"How are you doing at the hospital, Ling Ling? Is no one suspicious?", Spain asked softly.

"Whoever does not suspect the General, here is the report", this girl named Ling Ling, handed over a bundle of reports, quite thick.

"Yes, you can go" Spain made the green-haired girl leave easily, I thought she was a bit close to Spain.

"He's intel, Spain?", I asked

"In the hospital, I put him in the hospital", Spain repeated his reply.

"Because of the incident at the Edge?", I want to know for sure

"Where are you going after this, should I accompany you, or should I have another assignment?"

"Look at the military school on the Tepian, Andy, watch them for me, this is a sign you're my representative!", Spain put a wing brooch on my chest, this wing brooch looks familiar.

"This brooch... sign that I'm your man?"

"Yes, this brooch I've been using for a long time, they must have recognized this brooch, there's an access code in it, my access code, just use it", Spain talks too long for a brooch.

Currently, I am a subordinate of Spain, my life is at the bottom, until it must be a subordinate of Spain.

Arriving at Tepian military school. Not as big as in Kingdoms, but enough for a small town like the Edge.

I put the brooch Spain gave me to scan the sign, "Accepted", on the screen saying I was allowed in.

In front of the line, there was a yellow-haired, small-winged youngster, training his running speed in unison while flapping his wings.

Pretty fast, he looked at me and came to me, "I'm sorry who, oh wing brooch, you were sent General Spain, I'm Sandy, in charge of the winged army of the Edge", is young and excited.

"I'm Andro, Spain's expert staff", I quickly replied, not wanting him to ask too many questions.

"You intel, your face is hidden with half shield!?", asked this young man innocently, unafraid of me.

"Because of Kiehl, I was previously on duty in Kiehl, so my face was broken", my answer left him speechless.

" You want to train us, or just look at it", it's rude to call me "you", so presumptuous of this young man.

"You're fast Sandy?"

"Very fast, Mr. Andro"

"You against me?", my challenge might make him squeak

"Please Mr. Andro", this boy is very arrogant

All the soldiers who were training were asked to step aside, Sandy approached me, "Master Andro, your skin still has Kiehl radiation residue, do I have to budge on you", less than this real child

"Don't mind Sandy, just treat me like a healthy person, we run without wings!"

"Okay, Mr. Andro, I accept your challenge!", Sandy shouted in encouragement to herself

Who trained Andy, clapping compact cheering.

DOOORRRR

The gunshot, the start of the race, Sandy running very fast, I haven't run fast in a long time, in the underground palace I trained alone, there's no competitive spirit like this.

I forgot how to run fast, a year in the administration office was wasted, not improving my physique, even playing with Hannah.

A third of the track, it looks like I'm starting to find the rhythm of my running style, Sandy I can match the speed. He glanced at me in a running state, he panicked!

I'm increasing my speed a little, I want to keep my heart beating so as not to be too shocked. Sandy's falling after me.

Halfway through, I've taken the lead, Sandy's tired of wanting to match my pace.

I just realized that maybe my physical strength has recovered. It doesn't feel heavy, running fast like this.

It's best not to be too far away, so that he's not ashamed, and still wants to practice physically with me.

I slowed down my speed, he was within a steady distance behind me.

"Priiiiiiit" , the sheep is done, I can still win

"Mr Andro, thank you for shortening your running distance with me, I got a face in front of the soldiers I trained" Sandy learned that I had deliberately slowed down my running speed

I pat her on the back, a normal person would understand my body language. However, I will not make others suspicious of me, especially at this time, I think finding a suitable training friend.
