Chapter 14 - The first highschooler honorary Lieutenant pt2

Walking on the stage to receive my medals and my honorary lieutenant colonel certificate from the general of the army with the entire student body along with their family and mines, while it was also being broadcasted throughout the zone. Walking up to the general as he had a smile on his face with him being a broad mean structure wise, but with the aura of a doating father. Standing in front of him with me having to look up slightly do the height different between us.

General of the army: Sensing the overwhelming will to protect, survive, and confidence but for there to be the feeling of one knowing their limits, and what it means to have the burden to carry the expectation of others. And the world on their shoulders and to have the confidence to do it without having the air of arrogance that comes with knowing they're the only one that can carry this burden. But for it to be that she will need the help of those around her to help with making it so she can do what she needs to, as she knows that it doesn't take one person but that of everyone to save the world.

'And here I thought I would be dealing with an arrogant hot head that would have a self-important personality, but it seems that there's hope amongst the younger generation after all. I look forward to seeing how she will grow and those around her.' Looking to her family that's in the front row "Cleolani Yang for your valor of not only saving your squadron from a wave of strigoi's but to also you're willing ness to face not one but five sentient strigoi's that's announced themselves to be the five kings, while being injured but you also show how versatile you are when facing such threats.

Leading you to protecting the other members in the squad and reclaiming the hospital so it can be under us, human's control again. Before they could establish their territories that are to be in the northern, eastern, and western cities, we now know of a new and dangerous threat. That could have proven to be disastrous to all humanity, if they'd remained unknown to us. For these achievements I am glad to be giving this insignia of being the first five -star major amongst you generation along with being an honorary lieutenant colonel certificate."

With the general of the army bending over to grab the major medallion to pin it to my uniform before grabbing the five-star medal and also pinning it to my uniform, than handing me my certificate. I turn facing my family while I also look over the crowd when they start cheering and clapping. Being able to feel their fear, worry, hope, renewed courage, and despair while they try to distract themselves by them casting their expectations on to me having me.

'They may be cheering now as they place their expectations, hope, wishes, dreams, and showing their appreciation to me for now, but if they were to ever find...out what I'm truly am... all of that will disappear turning to fear, hatred, and anger and it will be turned on to me alongside those that I love but...'

With a smile appearing on my face, "I still want to protect what's left of humanity against whatever threats that we face, that will be new or old ones but all I want is for humanity is to be able to survive whatever comes our way. Even though I know that one day...everything that I have kept hidden, will have to come out. But till that day comes I will be the light that they need, who knows we might be able to come to an understanding when that time comes.'

(Assessment test)

After the ceremony was done fifty of us was taken to the gym along with some of the student body while the rest went to the classroom, where they would be able to watch the assessment test. That those of us who took part in the first mission outside of the zone and managed to survive. Has to take to be rank, so they can have a group out of those who rank with in the top fifteen, to make an entity that will sever as the student council. To serve as the school second leadership only with it being only second to the principal and the teaching staff.

Being that they want us to be in control of our own growth and to teach leadership along with responsibility, while also giving those that don't have anything to fight for something to fight for by reaching the height that those who rank in top fifteen are at. Those that rank into the top fifteen will be known as the guardians and with me along with the others proven our skills in actual combat, we don't have to fight till the eleven other students are decide. So, we get to sit and watch the others fight each other till they get to eleven students out of forty-nine other students.

To be able to see the top fifteen fight each other to determine our ranks amongst ourselves but in truth it's to gage who is the strongest and who has the most promise, that also allows for them to see who's the weakest with the least amount of promise. Being that the fifty of us that managed to survive, and return are between the ages of seventeen and nineteen. Meaning us third and fourth years being that they've combined the high school and college to be on the same campus with them also having us start the school year early.

Making me, Sky, Liza, and Sue thirds years in high school with Casi, Gah, and Ben becoming fourth years having them start college. Meaning Lili is in her second year of high school along with Key and Abbie. Letting her be fortunate enough that she didn't have to take part in the mission meaning she doesn't have to take part in the assessment test along with Key and Abbie. Though Casi, Gah, and Ben have to take part in it, but amongst the college students on their side of the campus to determine their top fifteen guardians as well.

Sitting in front of the stage with Lili, Sky, Liza, and Sue along with Key and Abbie we see the first four student step on to the mates to being the first round of the assessment test to determine the top fifteen guardians amongst the high schoolers.
