Chapter 19 (Lead The Way)

"Oh, and this is my promise" The captain took something that was very long and apparently it was a sword that already had a scabbard, but there was a strap to put the sword on the back.

Line had wide eyes when he saw that especially when the captain held out the sword to him.

"This is yours, sorry for confiscating it..."

Then Line accepted it.

"If I may know, where did you get such a unique sword from?" The captain stared.

"... I made it myself" replied Line, taking out the sword and apparently it was true. Line's sword looks very unique, there is a Japanese promise written in iron that forms the writing. "リーダー" which is read as "Rida" which means "Leader"

"Did you really make it yourself?" The captain stared.

"Yeah, I'll go first" Line replied coldly then walked away carrying his sword.

Meanwhile outside, Roland was still eavesdropping and he thought suspiciously of Line after hearing the conversation earlier. "(No wonder he is very strong and apparently knows the captain... It could be bad if he betrays this military, don't worry, he will come out by deceiving the captain... This can't be allowed)" Roland panicked in his heart and walked away. go.

"Today you will face a test of survival. Bring your belongings and try to walk to the finish line. There will be many wild animals that can pounce on you at any time..." Roland said.

Then everything started this one test. Including soldiers. "Hey... Where do you think the new member was yesterday? He wasn't present at the ceremony earlier."

"Hmp... I thought he was a weak person."

"You're right, he's arrogant" They talked about Line. They are just a few soldiers who have their own group and are now walking together in the middle of the forest while continuing to badmouth Line.

However.... Suddenly they heard something, then looked from the bushes. A lion sits pouncing on something. They saw what was attacked and apparently it was Line.

"Hah... He can be eaten"

"Hey... Wait a minute... Just leave it alone."

"What, are you crazy!! He could have been killed by that lion?"

"He's just a member of the burden, just let him be eaten," said his colleague. Then they watched in silence. Even though Line is not a burden.

The lion had finished locking Line in his sights and then he ran very fast from his direction. The lion jumped up to attack with a loud roar but unexpectedly the big snake fell on him making him fall and Line just looked normal. I don't know where the urg snake came from which managed to make the lion become entangled in the big snake.

"What happened?!?!" The 2 soldiers were surprised to see him.

"Just let go," said Line, suddenly the snake's coils stretched and released the lion. Then the snake left them. The lion lay collecting his life, in the midst of which Line also left him.

"Crazy... This is big news... He can even make the lion fall."

"This seems strange, can he control wild animals?"

"We can't say for sure yet."

Then the two of them followed Line. Until Line realized and looked back. They were shocked because they were discovered.

"What do you want?"

"E—Line kouha, we want your help, earlier we saw that in the swamp there was a friend of ours who was drowning, can we ask for your help?" they said.

"How can I trust you guys??"

"Just follow us, you're just youha"

Not long after, Line stood in a swamp ditch that had a dark aura. He looked around and there was no one.

"There's no one here." He turned and saw one of the two soldiers shooting him quickly. Line was shocked and couldn't dodge as a result he was shot and fell into the swamp water.

"Hahaha, there are lots of crocodiles in that swamp." They laughed and then left Line.

You could see lots of crocodiles coming to the edge and approaching the place where Line had drowned. One crocodile dived and then climbed again. The crocodile pulled a cloth from the water and then another crocodile appeared nearby. Immediately Line appeared, apparently the crocodile that had dived earlier helped Line climb up by pulling Line's clothes.

"Fuh... This is starting to get annoying," said Line, holding his left chest which was hit by the shot, then he climbed to the ground and turned coldly to the crocodiles. After that Line walked away leaving them. They also dived again.

"Haha... It was so easy for us to kill him earlier." The two soldiers walked happily. But they got lost and instead headed into the swamp.

"Can you see the map or not?"

"Let me see, it looks like we're going the wrong way," said his colleague who was carrying a map. But they fell silent when they heard a sound from under the water.

"Did you hear that?"

"It looks like a fish..."

"It's impossible, there are lots of crocodiles here"

"You're stupid, there are crocodiles upstream where we plunged into Line. There are definitely fish here."

"Hm... Maybe you're right, okay, let's catch those fish," they said, then they put down their things and looked at the water. And apparently there are lots of big fish swimming there.

"Hehe... We'll be full" One of them threw himself in to catch fish.

But suddenly his colleague who was on top fell down and was kicked by someone. "Huwa...!!" He fell.

"Hey..." They were annoyed and looked at the person who turned out to be Line. They both immediately turned pale.

"...Enjoy lunch" said Line who turned around and walked away. They were still stiff but suddenly they were attacked by a crocodile. "Ahhh... Help us" They had been eaten and a lot of blood was spread across the swamp.

Back to the present... In the present time.

The tigers were still surrounding Line. Everyone watched it from the thick glass above. Uminoke was there and saw more clearly, suddenly he was shocked.

"Hah... Line" Uminoke shouted. Labis who heard that immediately approached.

"Mas Labis, help him, he is my partner" Uminoke said frantically. But Labis just looked at him annoyed and immediately covered Uminoke's mouth.

One of the tigers advanced with hungry breaths. But suddenly something appeared and shot and stopped in front of Line. None other than the black cat. "You're late," Line said with a cold look. Labis who saw that was shocked.

"[That cat...]"

Go back to the past in Labis' memories.

Line fed her cute cat in the yard, then Labis came. "Ah... You're Line, aren't you, nice to meet you, I'm Labis, assistant captain," Labis stared.

"Yes" Line only replied briefly.

"Do you like animals, because I have a cat just like you, he's white," said Labis.

"Then, now?"

"He never showed up. He died with my parents, terrorists entered our house and killed all my family in front of me, including him. This cat must be special to you, Line."

"Yes, he is very special, by the way, can you show me your room, I really want to see him" Line said with an arrogant look.

"You can, you also have to teach me about your cat ^^" Labis replied.

Roland accidentally saw the two of them walking to the office. He saw that they radiated the aura of friends, and he immediately clenched his fists in annoyance.

"So, you take care of all this," said Line who saw a shelf full of documents.

"Yes, that's it, my job is inside and Roland's job is outside."

"Hey, how about you tell me this military information code. I mean just show me the site"

"Oh... This military site is not guarded by me."

"Who?"

"The captain is guarding the site himself, but if you want I can just show you the front site," said Labis.

"[Only the front site has no code.... I have to enter the code I know on the deepest site]" Line clenched his fists.

The next day, Line accidentally saw Labis and Roland talking far away from his, he hid and watched them secretly. He saw them shouting and fighting until Roland finally left Labis. Labis just stood with his body lowered, then Line came. "What are you doing?" He stared coldly.

"It's okay, this is none of your business." Labis turned around and walked away.

Line fell silent then heard the noise from the field again. He walked there and apparently many soldiers were looking at something in their midst. Line looked further and apparently his black cat was being caught by one of them.

"Hey... Put him down" Line walked over.

"Oh... This is your cat, this weak cat is his hahaha" They all laughed at him.

"The rules here are very clear: you have to keep dogs, not cats... Because your cat is useless, I will release it here." The person who caught Line's cat was directed to the cage of the fierce military dogs. Line was silent while staring at him with a glance.

"Weak cat"

"Indeed... Why do you have to keep a dog here?" Line said.

"Huh... Are you stupid, it's clear that dogs are strong and fierce while this cat is soft haha"

"Then how do you make a dog fierce?"

"Yes by ordering him"

"Then I will ask my cat to be a beast," said Line, crossing his arms arrogantly.

"Bwahahahaha...How can a little cat like this be so fierce, let alone wild?" They all laughed. But suddenly the cat began to growl wildly from its throat and nose. It trembled with its groans, making the soldier who was holding it fall silent, confused. Suddenly the cat screamed loudly and rebelled and scratched his hand. The person who picked it up was shocked and threw it, but the cat got up from the fall and went crazy attacking them, he also bit them until they bled.

"Ahk..... Crazy cat!" They started running away.

Everyone was shocked and some ran as fast as the cat continued to slowly approach the soldiers who couldn't do anything.

Line walked closer to the person who insulted him. "I will fight everything, words and deeds I will fight even if I have to go against the laws of nature...Call me the king of beasts," Line said with a murderous look. All the soldiers finally nodded quickly in fear.
