The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 29: The Beginning of the Introduction

All the juniors in Group 17 were whispering about what Ardan had explained. Despite his ridiculous nature, Ardan could be this serious if he had explained important things in the military field.

“And to become a Space Military soldier, someone must study at the Space Military Academy first. Many things you have to learn here, you also have to add insight and experience to fight first before actually being declared graduated and accepted in one of the class.”

Ardan continued, “In this Milderan Academy, during the registration period, you will definitely be told to choose a major, right? The Academy has several majors, namely Defense Science and Strategy, Military Electronics Engineering, Space Mechanical Engineering, Military Administration, and Space Military Intelligence. If you want to know more details, can be read through E-books on your respective tabs.”

Chrysanthemum and several other juniors had checked their respective tabs containing the manuals of the Milderan Military Academy which had been sent by the academy staff after they were declared to pass the registration test. It is true said Ardan, there is more complete information about Milderan Academy, ranging from facilities, curriculum, to other learning guides.

This time, it was Damar's turn to explain, “A student in this academy must study up to Level 4. For now, you guys who are still beginners are at Level 1. Students Levels 1 to 2 will only do learning activities and carry out tasks on the planet. At Level 3, students have already begun to do learning outside the planet. And when it has reached Level 4, students will be allowed to follow real work while preparing a report that will be tried by the academy officer.”

Ardan crossed until he made his wrist muscles slightly protruding. “In Level 3, you will be asked to choose which class you will choose if you graduate. This affects the material and learning methods that have begun to differ, willing to choose the Force Orbit, Colony, or Explorer. However, the selection of the force itself does not necessarily make you allowed to enter the force.”

“The academy's board will check your grades history, experience, and how to fight during Levels 1 and 2. If for example you choose to enter the Orbit Force, but your learning experience tends to be more suitable to the Colony Force, then the academy officials will decide to enter you into the Colony Force.”

“If you enter the force only based on your choice without judgment from the higher-ups of the academy, then the number of soldiers in a force will look unbalanced,” said Damar.

Damar checked the tab. “Last year alone, there are many students interested in entering the Orbit Force, but the higher-ups chose to include some of them to the Colonies and Explorers Force so that the numbers were balanced according to the government standard.”

“We emphasize, it is also done based on the results of the assessment and research of the officials on the values of the students. So, we all have no right to protest.”

In his row, Nadia had nudged Chrysanthemum's shoulder, making the black-haired girl spontaneously turn to him.

“The crowds are in the Orbit Force because the risk is small, and they often serve inside the planet. Unlike the Colonies and Explorers who require them to serve far from the planet.”

“What kind of tasks do the Orbit Force troops carry out?” tanya Chrysan is still flat.

“Aaa.... I know less too. To be sure, the people in the Orbit Force can still go back and forth when they are free. They can more easily meet and gather with their families than working in two other forces.”

Nadia lowered her head when she remembered her brother working far away from the planet there, long time not to go home because he was too busy with his work, so did not have time to go home.

The chrysanthemum that saw him became pity. Nadia who initially looked cheerful now seemed to try to hold back sad.

Chrysanthemum's hand began to stretch out touching Nadia's shoulder. “You look sad. What are you thinking, man?”

Nadia nodded weakly. “Anu.... I just miss Abah. He worked as a high-ranking officer in the Exploration Force, so it had been a very long time that he had not come home. Once home, can only survive for a few days with us here, keep back to work in space.”

Chrysanthemums are sad to hear that. Of course the heart of a child will be very tormented when it comes to parting long with beloved parents, especially if the task is not far from political conflicts and wars where death will continue to lurk at any time.

All Chrysanthemum can do is pat Nadia on the shoulder to calm her new friend.

“Be assured that your brother is a great hero. He's there fighting to keep our planet peaceful from evil.”

In silence Nadia just nodded her ass.

....

“OK! The explanation of the space military and about the fleeting introduction of the Milderan Academy is quite up here. For more details, you can read it in E-books that have been shared or ask the staff concerned.” Ardan is back as cheerful as ever, “Now, it's time to introduce!”

“Yey!!”

“Yohoooo!!!”

“Oleoleoleoleole...!”

All the juniors were instantly excited upon entering the introductory session. They can't wait to get to know each other with their friends.

“Wo, wo...! Relax, everyone,” said Ardan trying to quell the commotion. “Sangkat ‘kali fitting in introduction. Hoping for scuffles, yak.?”

Some juniors had cheered teasingly at his colleagues, while some of them even blushed embarrassed to be found to have a disguised mode.

Damar also said with a friendly smile, “Oke. We'll start the introductory session first before entering the academy's environmental introduction session. After that, we will enter the break.” Then he asked Ardan, “About, call in absent or random?”

“Random show, lah. Let there be surprise.” Ardan smiled nosily.

“OK...”.

The purple eyes behind the glasses were looking around for who could be called ahead to introduce himself, until he found the figure of the bespectacled geeky young man with a posture smaller than him.

“Well! That, noh. The most handsome, noh!” show Damar.

The appointed one had pointed at himself, assuring whether he was the one being called or someone else. But when he realized the attention of the juniors was on him, he immediately stood up and walked over to Damar and Ardan. During the walk, he was cheered with temptation by his friends.

“Here.” Damar invited the young man to stand between his two seniors.

“Try introducing yourself, Hotshot,” pinta Ardan.

The young man was awkward when he was about to introduce himself, even the direction of his eyes was irregular.

“A, e, a, e. We are again introductions, not vocal lessons,” circus Ardan is anxious to see it.

“Aaa.... Anu, Senior—.”

“So, as long as you say ‘Aaa’ long-term, it's just for effort say ‘anu’, so?” ardan said getting more and more anxious.

Damar squinted at Ardan, “Dengerin he used to talk, play break through aja this you, Dan.”

The young man continued, “Gini, can I not invite my two friends to join the introduction as well? You see, we ‘dah cementan from the era is still in the form of a zygote in each mother's womb. It's our fate.”

Damar and Ardan masang flat face. Apparently, the request was just this, was it? But, it does not need to be said sahabatan since the time of the zygote as well.

“Ya, already. Call me too,” said Ardan resigned.

The young man smiled. He waved at two of his friends who were sitting nearby. The two of them immediately came over and stood to their right. They look equally geeky, the difference is that the right one wears a mask, the left one wears headphones that are hung on the neck.

“ Introduce yourself all,” pinta Ardan again.

The glasses boy started first. “Oh! Hi, guys, everybody. Introduce, my name is Didi.”

“I Dodo,” says youth with headphones.

“And I—.”

“Eee.... Wait-wait!”

They all looked at Ardan. Damar himself has begun to be annoyed with Ardan who always played cut people's words.

“One is Didi, one is Dodo. Must be the last one named Dede, right..?” guess Ardan pede.

“Ujang, Senior.”

Instantly Ardan's upper face was covered in shadows. Rarely is he irritated with others, usually he who likes to irritate people.

“Pffft Damar could only laugh at the reaction of his best friend.

With the spirit of Didi again said, “We are...”.

The three immediately took a pose. Didi in the middle with a position resembling the shape of a bird, Dodo in addition to taking a pose nge-dab, while Ujang take a position nge-dab as well but in the opposite direction.

“Trio WekaWeka!”

With o’onnya, the juniors there even clapped their hands while not laughing at them, especially Nadia who likes things like this. Ardan and Damar looked astonished.

Surprised by the stupidity of these three boys.

“Stay, ye. Unwinding..” Ardan massaged his head which was already getting dizzy with what he was seeing now. “You know, right? We are again in the introductory session of the new Taruna-Taruni, not casting Tokusatsu.” characters

“But, we have made this group since the days of toddler,” Didi said plain.

“We have been in office for a long time.” Dodo reminded me again.

“Hm.” Ujang just nodding his head.

“Already, Dan...” With ease Damar said, “Let there be aesthetics.”

Ardan put on a flat face. He was silent for a while, trying to digest the kampretan in this first introductory session.

“Byeah. I want mental therapy first.” Ardan turned.

“Khikhik.... Oi, wait a minute, Dan..” Damar again pulled Ardan who was about to leave just like that. “Do not play go. Not finished this we nugas.”

“Nugas, nogos, nugas, nogos! Kamfret I saw the behavior of the three of them,” Ardan's scolding.

“So you never make people mentally ill,” Damar sneer. “Tetep here, we prank wondering first.”

In the end, Ardan chose to remain there, although in his heart was already irritated by the introduction of the WekaWeka Trio that alaynya this confusion.
