Outside the underground city of Karanganyar City….

The atmosphere of the city that has not recovered is seen as usual, although in some places there are still groups that carry out demonstrations about the war that is still happening.

Even before the war against the otherworldly forces took place, the corners of the country had very frequent demos. At that time the threat of world war 3 is something that people are worried about. Even Indonesia is rumored to be involved in the war.

Although all experts in the field of warfare around the world think that the war against other world forces is the real 3rd world war. Because almost all countries around the world are engaged in war against enemies from different worlds.

The demonstration that took place today was because most of them did not believe in the young army that had not been formed for a long time, and it continues to urge the central government to immediately bring down the full force of the Main Force and make enemies back to its world.

Either the government turns a deaf ear to the issue or prefers to act. But who knows…?

Newspapers published today contain various news. Today, everyone who buys a newspaper is very enthusiastic about the news in the newspaper they read.

The news in the newspaper is very different.

As a result of yesterday's war, the promotion of several high-ranking military officers, some territories conquered by other world forces, an economy that has not grown since the war, the 3rd world war against the otherworldly forces and the 3rd Squad led by Nio.

Squad 3 became the main news material in the newspaper, even photos of some members of Team 3 plastered on the front page of the newspaper.

Newspapers ran news of the success of Squad 3 incapacitating 3 enemy soldiers and finding one missing victim.

One missing victim referred to here is a small child mutilated victim who search group Squad 3 found. Although it was a hard blow to the families who were left behind, on the other hand the lost family was very grateful to Team 3.

Although some parties do not like the Squad led by Sergeant One Nio because instead of capturing the enemy alive and carrying the bodies of 3 other world soldiers.

On the other hand was greatly amazed by the achievements of those young soldiers in incapacitating the enemy. Precisely more parties praise than ‘vilify’.

They say, “They are young, but they are great huh?” “If I was young” “Their leader seems handsome”.

Sorry, better forget the last citizen's expression. I don't know what happens if Nio hears people complimenting him ‘tampan’.

in fact, news is not only spread through print media such as newspapers and the like.

Although the national TV channel has not recovered, but radio broadcasting channels can still operate and become the main news channel during the war.

In addition, there are still many citizens who have radio compared to television.

Of course the news was broadcast about the latest war news, and today it was about Squad 3.

The underground city of Karanganyar….

Everyone reads the newspaper that was sent today. Although every day this place always gets newspaper submissions, but people who read have never been as enthusiastic as it is today.

“This is Nio and Sima right?”

“Don't forget there's Rio and Arista there too.”

“Sial, they seem to leave me.”

“Maybe I should have taken part in that special forces selection.”

“For one Squad with Sergeant Nio right?”

Soldiers throughout the Squad began to talk about their comrades who were training to become Special Student Forces.

Of course Nio became one of the subjects of their conversation.

Meanwhile in Herlina's study, she cut out the news about Nio and kept it in a file.

“Maybe this could come in handy,” Herlina muttered as she put the newspaper news piece on the sidelines of the file paper.

Arunika who got the person after Lisa took it looks smiling with her sister who is in the newspaper news today.

“It seems I like Nio more...” Lisa said when there was still Arunika beside her.

With a sharp gaze Arunika replied, “Try to snatch her from me.

Then the two showed a challenging view of each other.

Nike constantly repeated to read the news that contained Nio, even he did the same thing as Herlina did.

He cut out the photos and news that contained Nio then pasted it on his diary with a happy face.

On-site training of Special Student Forces candidates….

The news had also reached all the people in this place.

“While his looks are so lazy.”

“Is it true they found a mutilation victim?”

“I doubt their commander gave the correct command.”

“It is possible that the enemy soldiers have already given up hope and allowed Squad 3 to kill them.”

Although not all the soldiers did not talk about Nio with an impression of disdain, but there were still many people who praised the entire members of Squad 3 in front of them, including Nio.

In front of the training ground were already many local reporters asking to interview Nio and some of the members of Squad 3.

But Major Sugeng ordered the training soldiers to ask the reporters not to disturb the soldiers who were about to do the test.

Of course the entire reporter looked very upset and preferred to leave the training ground.

“Yeah, why are they suddenly famous like this?” one of the coaches sighed a little.

“Not good, it looks like they will get a special promotion,” replied one of his colleagues.

“Wah, I'm threatened to become a subordinate of Sergeant Nio dong?”

After hearing the words of his colleague, the entire coach laughed because he could not imagine Nio being the boss of the coaches.

In the male soldier barracks, all residents of this place are preparing everything for the final test.

The last test they will undergo is to survive and will be carried out on Mount Lawu.

Still, all eyes were on Nio who was taking off his clothes and looked very much a sharp object incision scar.

Although some are wounds that have not dried up, but Nio looks still ordinary with his condition.

“It looks like I'm suddenly in the limelight,” muttered Nio.

“Actually who spread the word about it anyway?” connect Rio.

After that Nio nodded his head in agreement with Rio's words.

Moments later Nio wore the last gear, which was a vest.

After that he prepared a backpack with the contents that must be brought, including a few packs of instant noodles left.

**

The entire Squad was already lined up in the courtyard of the training ground and ready to depart.

All the soldiers placed backpacks and rifles in front of them, including Nio who had obtained a replacement rifle.

then the entire coach arrived and brought a box that when opened contained rations for the soldiers.

“Each Squad will get ration of 2 pieces and will be held by Squad Commander!” say one of the coaches.

The coaches distributed 2 rations to the squad leaders who lined up in the front row, including Nio who had 2 rations in his hand.

About the distribution of rations that are only 2 pieces, some soldiers are seen to express ‘resah’.

Of course, because this last test will be carried out for a week and 2 rations must be divided into 32 members of the Squad.

Moreover, a ration is a ration to eat one soldier for one day. Moreover, the delicious ration menu makes soldiers not willing to share it with others.

Meanwhile, 20 trainers boarded the transport car. Because they are in charge of overseeing the course of this test, the coach must leave first to make a path.

After that, the entire Squad was ready to be released to conduct the final test. They will walk or run or according to the ability of each member of the Squad.

But in front of the gate of the training ground there are still some journalists who photograph the members of Rregu who came out of the gate and headed towards the Lawu mountain.

Elsewhere that is certainly not in an empty house or under a banyan tree….

Ilhiya and Ivy are seen standing by the side of the road and are just passed by the soldiers who will follow the final test.

Including Nio who was running and watching Ivy who was with someone he did not know.

“Do I have to follow him?” ask Ivy.

“I think no, it is better to wait until he returns,” replied Ilhiya.

“Good.”

Because the two of them have not received a complete answer from Nio about ‘ramalan’ it. of course, the prophecy that is considered is a prophecy that exists in their world.

Since Nio might be the person the world desperately needs, or perhaps the entire army in Indonesia?, who knows….
