Chapter 42 - Military
But not only them there was also one more category that was allowed to go on explorations.
Frontiers.
Frontiers were also given the license to them to go on unexplored excavations and whatever they bring back they will have to give some specific items or percentage of that to the royal family in their designated kingdoms.
Even the Great Houses have to give some of the items to the royal family for each excavations.
But for the Frontiers to become Frontiers they have to do through specific steps to earn that license. For that they needed to learn many things in one specific location.
The Academy.
I knew at one point of my life that I would definitely hear this word at some point. It's like a graduation test for a main character in a novel to become a full fledged man. The academy was the main stand point of the cultivation or any kind of novels that wanted the main character to become strong and it was also a place for the gathering of those tsundere heroines.
But forget about what I said and let's talk about the Academy.
The Academy as you might have already guessed was a place for future leaders... of military forces to grow and fight for their kingdom. And getting the Frontier License was an extra added bonus. What really happens is, you apply for a academy, You get rejected and spend your life doing not so legal things or your application gets successful and you go to the academy and study there for 4 years or some in special cases even less and then you get your license and become a Frontier.
Being a Frontier wasn't all that fun actually because you would have to get your own equipment, your own band of frontiers and most of all if any of your party member dies you would have to pay their family a heavy amount for the lost party member.
In a sense being a Frontier wasn't that glorious job for most unless you were rich and had connections enough to form your own band and didn't worry about equipment or anything, Or you were strong enough to actually not worry about forming a party or defeating a high level beast.
So for most this job wasn't that good unless you had a firm believe in your own abilities.
That's why the royal family made up something up that was advantageous for both the Royal Family and the people. They created the military system.
The military system went like this - You study in a academy, you graduate the academy and then you apply for the military now if you are good enough you become accepted or rejected. But the military system's requirements weren't that high to begin with because they needed canon fodders for the front side of explorations or in an state emergency War. So becoming a military might also not be that good enough but this is my new reality I can't Bit*h about everything now can I.
But still even if you were a cannon fodder it wasn't that bad. Because first you didn't need to buy any kinds of equipment's as the military provided them and secondly even if you were to die the military will compensate your loss to your family or loved ones with hefty sums.
And even in this chaotic military system there was a plus as well.
Because while you are still studying or are at near completion, if your future looked capable and you were quite strong then the military will invite you in their specialized program.
The Specialized program was a kind program specially developed for the upbringing of the next generations super force which had the capability of protecting it's kingdom from a imminent threat or a beast riot.
If you were able to get into the specialized program then your future was guaranteed to be bright.
The ones who were in the specialized program were immediately promoted to high positions for example like a Second or First Lieutenant, Captain even Major and if their achievements were high enough they might NO they will get promoted to One Star Brigadier General or higher.
But only the best of the best were invited to the Specialized Program, Nobody who would be a half-ass would be invited. Not even members of the Great Houses would be unless they had some skills at least. Like they say if you want to live in mansion you must have the ability to build it.
But who knows, if you ask me I think the whole specialized program is filled with those obnoxious b*stards.
Now there was one last thing I learned it was the Beast Riot.
In the unexplored wild, Beasts like Clawdia or even worse would reside there and if somebody annoyed them or other mysterious reasons they would start to get angry and attack anything they saw and in rare cases, in the beasts among them someone would be born, someone who had the capabilities to become a leader emerges and that said beast will guide the other beasts in that area to become a group and there were even some great leaders who would make a large army of beasts and lead them.
And when they were angry or ready enough the supposed leader will lead them towards the human settlement which were us and wreck havoc everywhere they could find. And if the riot isn't stopped quick enough than the losses would amount to billions of dollars. The ones in the specialized program of the military were responsible for leading cannon fodders and stopping the beast riot. So this was the one of the reasons the specialized program is looked upon so highly.
So in conclusion you had to be strong enough to have actual worth in this beautiful yet quite dangerous world.
Now you would be wondering that did I get all that information from Pascal in those Eight Minutes.
No, in fact the guy was very discreet in most of the talks we had. But being of the same shrewd minds I was able to pick up these small but important details. And one more thing that I learned was about...
Mobile Phones.
Why the fu*k was I so stupid to not think about getting a mobile phone. This was a futuristic era so of course there would be mobile phones here for communication.
And most of all they were the prime stations for gathering information. INFORMATIONS For Which I Have Been Put Into Many Problems From Time To TIME.
No wonder why I wasn't able to get any intelligent girl to go out with me in my past world. It turned out that I was way too stupid for them to go out with. Even the nerds.
