Chapter 9 - Choices

"So, was the monster horde been taken care of." Triss asked Nevel, although his voice was barely audible like he was talking to himself.

Hearing Triss, Nevel sighed "yeah, still there is a massive casualties."

After that, both of them didn't talk with eachother and went with a sombre expression.

...

Two days later, TEES exam wasn't cancelled or postponed. The exams were throughout the kingdom, but the surveillance was enhanced so nothing irregular occurs.

A man with a black trench coat was standing in front of two grave.

On both of the grave was the name of the deceased as

Gary

Emma.

The man was Triss, who had faint tears in his eyes. His face had lost some fat, indicating that for the past two days he had been eating a little.

He placed boque of flowers that he had bought from the store, on both of the grave.

Today was the day of TEES exam, but Triss had made up his mind that he would not attend it. Because he was not in a right mind to attend a exam, secondly for him it felt like whatever he had learnt was not resurfacing in his mind.

After standing there for about 12 minutes, he started to walk away. He hadn't slept for past two days. It was already taking a toll for him to stand, has he had spent most of his energy for preparing everything for the cemetery.

While he was going for home, he bought a newspaper that was being sold and paid 1 Ro.

He soon reached his home, but when he opened the door it was devoid of any voice or action. It was new experience for Triss because whenever he comes home his mom voice could be heard.

He let out a deep sigh and sat on a chair for a while, then he started reading the newspaper that he had bought

"One of the Earl, Richard villio had been passed away during the unexpected monster horde incident. The title would be passed to his first son Juan villio"

"The report states that above 3000 people have been passed away"

"The citizens of main sub street and surrounding citizens have been evacuated to a safe place, until the situation has been taken care of "

"Some scientists speculate that, the unexpected monster horde is due change in hierarchy of psycho forest, the residence of these psycho monster. And due to the psycho forest is located near main sub street, the unexpected incident occurred"

"While some nobles and governors state that it might be one of the ploy of our neighborhood kingdom"

"The King Derole IV have stated that, they have already deployed troops in psycho forest to find out the reason for this unexpected incident and would take actions according to the situation."

After reading newspaper Triss went towards kitchen to prepare a meal for himself as he had not ate anything from yesterday night.

"3k plus death huh. Sigh... I have to sleep, my body is aching in pain"

...

At Sivle city, in King Derole IV residence.

Most important figures of Derole kingdom had been gathered as per king's order.

"What does the report says regarding incident." While seated at throne asked while massaging his temples.

One of the men stood up from his seat and explained "Your majesty, the reports from research team state's that, there is change in hierarchy of monsters in psycho forest. According to the members of research team, they saw a shiny monster leading the psycho monsters"

"The psycho monster that had attacked the main sub street was only group of crippled."

Suddenly king's voice echoed throughout the hall "So the reports says that the monster that attacked the citizens were some group of crippled. Then how the hell did those monster breach those defense line, that have been specially deployed in order to protect the city from psycho forest."

"Have our soldiers been lacking enough to not defeat those monsters. Weren't the defense line formed by stage 3 and stage 4 elemental affinity control." King shouted furiously.

After taking a deep breath he ordered "General Leon Rogers, deploy special team to take care of the nearby psycho monsters and that one shiny monster around the main sub street. Further order them that they shouldn't venture deep into the forest."

"Yes, your majesty." Replied Leon.

"Sigh.. not this monster attack, but we also lost an stage 5 Earl. So is this Juan villio be able to take care of this position. He's only stage 4." King asked one of the member.

"Yes sir. According to the intelligence agency, some of the matters that the late Earl suggested was the Idea from his son. He is very intelligent and one of the few who entered stage 4 at age of 16."

"He is currently in progress to ascend for stage 5." The man spoke.

Later King told them to speak about other pressing issues that should be taken care of.

...

After those important figures had left, Derole IV started walking towards his bedroom, while walking he called his right hand man Charley ball "Charley, i need fixed report of Juan villio's daily routine." He ordered Charley.

"Yes, your majesty." Charley spoke and made way for the king.

...

Triss woke up from his bed. His face was still tired from 3 days continuous work. As yesterday he had slept afternoon he woke up today morning.

While he was still sitting on his bed he braced himself to take the 2nd TEES exam, At the 4th month.

This rule was made for those students who were unable to attend the examination. But they should have valid reason in order to attend this 2nd TEES exam or else they had to wait another year in order to write the exam.

Triss took a bath and started preparing a breakfast. He started to regain his usual colour on his face.

After eating breakfast he took his school ID and left for school.

In order to attend 2nd TEES exam, first the student must provide valid reason for the principal. Then they would give him a entrance ID for 2nd TEES exam.

...

At principal's chamber.

"I heard about the incident regarding your parents, it was truly unfortunate. Don't worry Triss the ID will be given for you. But, you missed your chance of getting scholarship from Academy." Principal told Triss.

"What do you mean sir, I will be writing exam right, so i only have to get perfect score and they would accept me right?" Triss asked while having a worry in his heart.

"No, the academy only provides scholarship for those who attend first TEES exam, although if you get perfect score in 2nd TEES exam they would only send invitation for you to join their Academy, but they won't give you a scholarship"

"You would be eligible to join them but you have to enter by paying the admission fees. The reason is that, they believe one shouldn't give excuses for not attending the exams. Well what they are trying to say is that in war, enemies don't let you live just because you give them excuses."

Hearing this Triss didn't speak further. Afterwards principal spoke by changing topic "Triss let me give you a advice. Don't try to live your life by thinking you should kill monster or something else okay. Just live for yourself. Although you are the one who will be making your own choices but just keep these words in mind." Principal gave him some advice.

But Triss had already made up his mind, that he would only live for himself.

Some might be raging in anger or be furious and would start thinking that they have to take revenge, but he was not like them. Not because he was scared but to live his life peacefully.

He didn't even had a single thought of taking revenge on those monsters. He had made his mind after he got reincarnated that, he would make his own choices. And this was his choice, not to lead his life in name of revenge but to explore the world or being lazy. Well he would most likely lean towards lazy, because it's his personality.

"Sir, don't worry. I wish lead my life peacefully, so revenge and all is out of question as it blocks my path for being lazy."

Hearing Triss words principal let out a relieved sigh, that his student wasn't making any wrong decision.

"Then get ready, there is 20 days for exam. I hope you would still get that perfect score and keep that 1st place record running."
