Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

"Today is very boring," said a bored Noah. "Hey, this is your first day of being unemployed and you're already complaining," said Oda, who was just as bored. "You say that but you're also bored right?" said Noah. "Haah" they both sighed. "This is one of the reasons why I will leave this place" said Noah. "Hmm? Yes I get what you mean. For people who have a lot of energy like you, they will definitely get bored living here," said Oda.

"If you two are bored you should help me clean up" Xander said to the both of them. "My room is clean," said Noah briefly. "You're not training? You guys can spar one on one," said Xander who gave advice to the two of them. "We've been practicing a lot. Now the practice has become boring," said Oda. "It's up to you, i don't care about it" said Xander who then left the two of them.

Suddenly Noah's cell phone rang. "You got a call," said Oda. Noah took out his cell phone. "Why did dad call me?" Noah thought confused. Noah answered his father's call. "Hello, what's wrong?" Noah asked on the phone. "You will be working Friday this week. Get ready from now on" replied Gravy. "Okay" Noah answered shortly then he turned off the phone. "What is wrong?" asked Oda. "We're going to work next Friday." Noah replied. "That means there are still five days left," said Oda. "Haah" they both sighed.

"By the way, do you often chat with the others?" Oda asked Noah. "No, how about you?" Noah asked back. "Same" answered Oda shortly. "This afternoon the wind blows making me sleepy," said Noah. "Yeah," answered Oda shortly. They both finally fell asleep. Xander also came to see the condition of the two of them. "In the end they fell asleep huh" thought Xander with a smile and then he continued his activities.

It was late afternoon, they both woke up. Anna returned home. "I'm home," said Anna. "Brother, have you heard from father?" Anna asked Noah. "Why?" Noah asked back, "Ah, we will work on Friday" replied Anna. "Oh, I already knew that," said Noah. "I can't wait for that day" Anna said happily. "Why him?" asked Oda. "I don't know," replied Noah.

Friday came, Noah, Oda, Xander and Anna were getting ready. The four of them went to work. "Ah, you've come" someone said with a smile. "You are Mr. William Palmstruch right?" Noah asked. "Yes, that's true," William replied with a smile. "Are you Noah? Your father often tells about you to his friends," said William. "Tell me like what?" Noah asked. "About how his son is an outstanding student but doesn't want to go to college or the world of work and instead wants to be an adventurer," said William clearly. "Ah, we understand" said Oda and Xander in together.

"And who else is here?" he asked. "My name is Oda," said Oda, shaking William's hand. "And I'm Xander, nice to meet you" Xander said with a smile and shook William's hand. "And this beautiful woman?" he asked. "I am Anna, I am Noah's sister," said Anna. "For today work you can go ahead there. You will see a woman with yellow hair. Ask the things you want to know. She is the leader of the bodyguard." Said William clearly. "Okay" they said in together. "Then, good luck to you," said William.

The four of them walked to find the yellow haired girl. After a while they finally found the woman. and then approached the woman. "Excuse me" Noah said, "yes? What is wrong?" asked the woman who turned to face the four of them. The woman looked very beautiful with her yellow hair. his body looks like she has strong muscles. With a height of about 165 cm, she led an army of guards, which were mostly men. And she also looks quite young. "We are one of the bodyguards too, Mr. William said that we have to go to you to find out our work" said Noah politely. "Oh, you guys are the extras people that Mr. William said huh? look at you all, y'all seems pretty young, right?" said the woman. "hehe" Noah chuckled.

"Well, they said don't judge a book by its cover, right? Alright, for those of you who brought the Katana and Trident, you will enter the 2nd division. Go find the 2nd division, the 2nd division contains the people who protect the right side of the group. You beautiful princess go to the 4th division. It's the rear troops." The woman said to Oda, Xander and Anna. "See you again Noah" said Oda and Xander who then left Noah. "See you later, brother," said Anna who then patted Noah's shoulder and left. "Be careful, don't get hurt," said Noah to Anna.

"Your sister?" the woman asked. "Yeah, she suddenly wanted to join this job. Our parents forbade it but she insisted he wanted to come," said Noah. "Oh, I see? I also have a brother like that," said the woman. "Is it true? Is it hard to take care of it?" Noah asked. "No, it's more like he's taking care of me. Because he is stronger than me," said the woman. "Are you close with your brother?" Noah asked. "Of course we get along," replied the woman. "So your name is Noah right? My name is Kayla, I'm the leader of this squad," said Kayla who invited Noah to shake hands. "Ah, nice to meet you," said Noah who then shook Noah's hand.

"So Noah" said Kayla "are you strong?" Kayla asked. "Hmm I don't know, but I think that I am strong enough" Noah replied. "Then you will follow me in Division 1. We will be the spearhead of this army," said Kayla with a smile. "Okay," Noah answered simply. Noah walked with Kayla to her division. "By the way, how old are you?" Noah asked. "Why? You want to ask me out on a date?" Kayla said jokingly. "No, I'm just curious," said Noah. "curious about what?" Kayla asked. "It's just that, you look young enough to lead this army. I saw a lot of people who were quite old and looked experienced," said Noah clearly.

"Ohh, I'm only 25 years old" replied Kayla. "Maybe to you I look young and inexperienced, but I have been attending military preparation school since I was a child. And it's not that I want to be arrogant, but there I am one of the top ranking people." Says Kayla. "Then I entered the military right at the time of my graduation and reached the rank of major within a year." Says Kayla. "then? why don't you continue in the military?" Noah asked. "Well, at that time I was nominated for promotion. But I left because of some things," said Kayla with a slightly gloomy feeling.

"Judging from your past, it means you have quite a lot of experience huh." Noah said in amazement. "By the way, what rank were you in military prep school?" Noah asked again. "Hmm, when I graduated I was ranked 3rd from one school, our school was a mixture of elementary, middle and high school. And the ranking doesn't look at age," said Kayla. "In that case, who will be the first rank?" Noah asked. "its my brother" Kayla said glumly. Noah who saw Kayla's expression became confused. "My brother, became the 1st rank of the entire school, when he was still in the 3rd grade of junior high school," continued Kayla. "hah? How could he be ranked one? I mean he's still in junior high school," said Noah confused. "Well, you could say he's so strong that he's like that. He even graduated at the age of 16 and immediately entered the military and within a year he had reached the rank of colonel. Seeing him like that it's only natural that I get out of the military right? Because I think he's better than me," Kayla said clearly.

"So, it looks like he's become a general now?" Noah asked. Kayla was silent for a moment. "Actually he's out of the military," said Kayla. "Why?" Noah asked confused. "I don't know, everyone has their own thoughts right? When he was discharged from the military he also went missing. Even until now I still haven't found it," said Kayla. "How long?" Noah asked. "It's been three years," said Kayla with a very gloomy expression.
