"I have five to six months of training before enlistment in the Army." Keira murmured reluctantly because she thought it would be a year.

She was confident, of course, but somewhat there's also this uncertain feeling that was shouting in her inner self.

'Where did my confidence go?' That inner self hissed. Then she smiled and silently convinced herself, "That confidence never left. He will be mine by all means."

After the ceremony, they were dismissed for a week to rest then they would have to come back and stay six months for the training.

Keira wanted to thank Zach but then it's inappropriate to do so because the voting was supposed to be confidential.

Her lips curved downwards when she saw Jeru approach her dad with a warm smile, then the two looked at her.

She gave a forced smile and walked towards her father, as he casually greeted Jeru, addressing him formally as General Liu.

"Congratulations, Keira, please just call me Jeru." He said smiling widely at her.
