Recruitment

When he saw the poster for recruitment, he realized that he can escape to the training camp outside the city. So slowly Melvin walked towards the soldier patrolling at the city gate.

When the soldier saw Melvin there was frown on his face. Normally someone need to leave or enter city, they go to officials sitting near the gate for permit. No one would go near the patrolling soldiers. Only people going near soldiers are either higher commanders or spies from enemy forces. When he saw Melvin the soldier realised that the kid walking towards him is neither a higher official nor a spy. That was the reason for his frowning.

Melvin slowly walked towards the soldier. After getting near him Melvin asked: "Uncle, where should I need to go to get recruited into the soldier barracks for miscellaneous jobs."

When the soldier heard that he began to frown more. But he still started to advice Melvin. He said "Kid you are to young. There is no need for kid there. Go back home."

Hearing the advice, Melvin realized that the soldier is advising for his goodwill. But the situation doesn't allow him to stay in city for too long. So he somehow need to escape from the city. So Melvin was about to reply to the soldier when he saw a man with scars on his face slowly walking towards them. When Melvin saw that man looking towards him, Melvin felt as if a vicious predator staring at him.

While the Melvin was checking on the man, the scar faced man was also looking at him. When he saw the mature look on a 6 year he was surprised. He realised that the little boy was not easy.

After looking at the boy some time he then looked at the soldier and began to stare at him viciously. When the soldier saw the scar faced man and his angry stare the soldier began to tremble. "What are you doing here, without doing your job, soldier? " asked the man to the soldier.

When the soldier heard the anger in man's voice he realised that he need to explain to the man very fast." Sir, this kid was inquiring about the recruitment to the eastern unit. He needs to participate in the recruitment program." explained the soldier.

When the man heard the soldier's replay he was very much surprised. He asked Melvin "Kid do you need to participate in recruitment program?".

"Yes sir" replied Melvin. "Then follow me" said the scar faced man. After that the man slowly began to walk to the gate. When he saw that Melvin began to follow the man. When the soldier saw the man walking away he signed in relief. At that time the voice of the man floated towards the soldier." Go and train in training ground for 10 days without sleep." the man ordered. The soldier trembled slightly when he heard the order.

Melvin was walking behind the scar faced man. None stopped them and there weren't any checking. Melvin slowly exited the city and walk towards the training grounds outside the city.

As the walked Melvin heard the system's notification about the completion of quest.

" Congratulations host for completing your first quest. Rewards will be given after calculating."
