Intro :
Hundreds of years ago ,there was a mysterious chamber sitting on the bottom of the ocean. An unexpected earthquake cracked it open and released mysterious crystals into the world. These rare crystals were precious to the humans ,they turned them into ornaments,
And added them to their collections. But soon, they started to fell sick and die to an unknown disease ,they were scared of the crystals and tried hiding them from the face of the Earth, along with these questions,
Where did these crystals came from?
What could these crystals do?
How did those people die?
================================
People are working in fields ,some make weopons and tools ,most are farmers ,they live in houses made up of stones and mud and straws. There's greenery, animals, farms, birds, hardworking people. people cook on fire.
Sweet smelling winds go by ,and today ,the newspaper just reached from the capital of Rahu Country
the King of Rahu just declared the country democratic. He said "i ,the king of Rahu ,am going to give people what they deserve, I won't rule over you ,I will serve you ,elections will take place in the coming years ,cheers for democracy" .
The ongoing protests against the king's army throughout Rahu's land forced the king to take a stand. The army is infamous for being merciless and oppressive against the poor people. Poor people were being forced into the army against their will.
Rich and highborn people were not forced and there
Existed a clear system of corruption inside the country among the highborns and the army.
And In all this madness ,is a boy ,not a day older than 15years ,who is about to get knocked the **** out in the first round of army admission examination (AAE).
His name is Sharp. And he wants to join the army. The AAE takes place in every 6months now to maintain the number of soldiers on duty and this was Sharp's 3rd attempt but he failed every time .infact ,he couldn't even get past the first round ,but now he was sure why he was failing.
He wakes up and finds himself in his house ,he is a highborn ,his house is not the biggest but it's beautiful and cozy. he has everything that he will ever need ,and that is why his mother never wanted him to be part of the army. She is
Scared to lose him ,just like how she lost her husband who was labelled as the 'TRAITOR'
by the king's Royal army. Sharp jumps up and confronts his mom.
He says - "I know it was you!! ,you have been pulling the strings behind my back and failing me "
Mother replies calmly - "I don't know what you're talking about, you're hurt ,you should rest"
Sharp - " So you are saying ,me getting paired up against the strongest,biggest,oldest candidate three times in a row is a coincidence? Huh? ,people weaker than me passed the first round . I look like a loser now because of you. (He started crying)
They all know me now ,they know me as the guy who can't even get passed the 1st round ,they see me and say "i wish I get paired against him ,he's a loser"
All because of you "
He said and ran away kicking the door open behind which was his grandmother. She holds the door ,enters the house closing the door slowly .
Grandmother says "i told you he would catchup ,he's not that stupid you know?"
Mother replies "all I want is him to be safe ,he is not stupid but he is innocent, too innocent to know how currupt the army is ,he would crumble before he adapts. Or what happens if his senior orders him to do something morally incorrect? Like kill a child or something, do you think he will do it? We both know he is not fit for army ,not this army for sure."
Grandmother replies - "you know what's funny ?. Your reasons of why he shouldn't be in the army is exactly why he wants to join the army .ever since you told him about his father and taught him how to handle things without hurting anyone ,he decided that he was going to join the army and make it better .He wants to join the army and make the army adapt to him.
Mother says - "we both know it's impossible"
Grandmother replies - "boys are weird, don't let them dream , because of they do ,they stop caring about anything else. I just hope he won't endup like his father.
Let him join the army ,let him do what he wants to."
Mother replies - "i will not allow him-
Grandmother shouts - "do you know where he's gone right now? Every time he fails he goes into the woods and punches the trees until his knuckles start bleeding ,he is determined,you are not stopping him ,no , you are just slowing him down but you won't be able to keepup. Let him join the army ,trust me,
Or atleast my age ,sometimes I think if I hadn't stopped and forced his father /my son ,he could've been alive and kicking ,don't make the same mistake as me ." She said and left
Mother was stunned ,tears falling down her face ,she had to fight against her selves ,but she finally decided to apologise to her son.
She ran to the woods where she saw her son,his hands coverd in blood , bruised .she hugged him .she said "iam sorry child ,I just can't afford to lose you"
Sharp started crying too ,
He says "i promise you mom, i will not hurt you. I have to join the army ,someone has to change the things "
6 months later , the AAE is here ,the first round
Is a knockout tournament where the top 10 from each district were allowed to enter the 2nd round.
And his opponent were of same age group or younger ,so he easily defeated them flawlessly and passed the 1st round of AAA pretty easily.
But things were about to go south quick , because now he was going towards the second round ,which was going to take place in a different state ,he was going to leave and face the hardest challenges. Things were only going to get worse.
