30 Army and Responsability

The last month passed quickly without much change Adrian learned new Emill runes to begin to condense his Core.Adrian had celebrated his 16th birthday 2 days before the arrival of a regiment of soldiers in town.

A messenger arrived in front of the family's mansion and said aloud "Adrian Ferildan and Emil Sarganian are summoned to participate in the war against demons, according to the demonic war treaty anyone nominated by their respective schools must participate to the war effort and join the army for a period of five years, any attempts to escape is considered as an act of treason against the Archmage Council and all the continent's empires and will be punished by capital punishment or an imprisonment for life, if the participants in this war were to die in combat the empire will take care of the family of the soldier for 50 years and will be exempted from taxes for 10 years.The participants must be present at the counter of the regiment in town to comfirm their presence and leave in a week to join the front"

After reading his message the messenger turned but stopped because Adrian and Emill accompanied by his mother came out of the mansion and were in front of the messenger, "Show the way to the counter of the regiment they will register now." said Merila

While moving in the street towards the camp of the regiment the pedestrians looked at them with reverence and some pray for them, seeing this this went back the moral of Adrian, after 15 minutes it was in a tent installed by the armed and a man in a thousand-year dress was waiting for them.

"Age, name and magic grade and magic type please" says the officer

"Adrian Ferildan, 16, Liquid Stage and advanced levels in runic magic" Adrian was the first to present the officer replied "Very good, sign here and recite the oath of loyalty, this oath binds you to the army if you do not respect it you will be executed according to the martial law of the continent"

Adrian signed after reading the oath and recited, "Me Adrian Ferildan swear on the name of my ancestors to defend the security of the continent, to become the shield and sword of my brother-in-arms, to enforce the laws and to brings honor to the continent and its inhabitants. "

"Now you are part of the army, you will be assigned to the maintenance battalion of the enchanted equipment under the command of Captain Valner, we will leave in a week, during this week your aptitude will be tested and you will be assigned a position in the chosen battalion. "

Emill was assigned to the destruction battalion, and they left for their respective battalion.

Adrian arrived in front of a blue tent where two guards were posted in front of the entrance, he introduced and entered, inside a dozen apprentice and 2 mage was enchanting armor, shields and swords.

A mage joined him and said, "You just arrive on time the aptitude test will start, sit down at one of the tables and complete the assignment, the more you will perfom more your given rank will be high."

Adrian sat down silently and waited for his summons, the mage he had just met came to him and said "Advanced level, very good you must write these 3 sword with the rune" Ferilin ", these 3 armor with the rune" Vern "and these 3 shields with the rune" Merin "as quickly as possible."

Something that seemed to be simple if it was just rune registration, he had to be fast and efficient.

Adrian took 10 minutes to complete his assignment and the mage handed him another item saying "Now repair these damaged runes as soon as possible".

Adrian did not have much experience with runes repair so he took 15 minutes to reach a satisfactory result.

"Hmm, the quality is good and solid and of advanced level, from now on you will direct 3 apprentice to the basic level and their distriburas their tasks and materials given by the army while checking the quality and corrected the defects of the apprentices, you take care of the officer's armor too. "

"At the speed where you are, you must not be far from the conjuration level, once at this level imitate me and your assignments will change,Here are the 3 apprentices and the first assignment of your group, 45 knight set for apprentices including swords, shields and armor and for you the set of 3 captains that requires the runes on the paper. everything must be done before the end of the week. "

When Adrian heard the assignment he was sure it was impossible for the apprentices so he forced him to help the apprentices in addition to the work he had to do but Adrian was silent, now that he had to sign the oath he had to respect the orders.

Adrian started with the presentation, the 3 apprentices were all older than him, Falgris, Merior and Serena were the names of the apprentices under his responsibility, Adrian began to divide the tasks and gave them advice on the enchantment right away to avoid that he must rewrite the runes.

They began the enchantments by threw away while keeping a respectable quality it was 2 sets a day Adrian him in 3 days finished his assignment and began to check the 18 sets finished by the apprentices, so far no mistake then he began to help, after the 5th day the apprentices were tired and Adrian needed to edit the enchantment on the 7th day all the set was finished and checked.

With the end of the assignment arrived the azuria departure for the front, the tension in the regiment was high but the veteran was there to reassure the new soldier, Adrian was scared and was stressed, without Emill present in the same regiment as he would have spent a terrible journey.

It was with nervousness that the soldiers and mages departed from Azuria.
