The Devil's Pawn

In a world of destruction and chaos, where wars and conflicts have become an inevitable daily reality, nations have been divided between conflicting and allied powers, and there is no longer any hope for stability in the near future. In these harsh times, the United Nations realized that the solution will not come from sterile negotiations or fragile treaties, but from a new generation of leaders who can confront this devastation with rationality and wisdom. Therefore, the Global Leadership Academy was established, an ambitious project that seeks to form an elite group of future leaders, who possess exceptional abilities and sharp intelligence. The academy was not just an educational institution; it was a harsh test, where students learn in an environment of constant psychological and physical pressure, and face challenges beyond imagination. But failure was not an option here, as failure means execution. It is a harsh system, where students who cannot withstand are eliminated, to be a lesson to the rest. This academy was similar in its laws and policies to military training camps, but it went far beyond that. Failure here meant death, literally. Students who couldn’t keep up with the challenges, whether physical or mental, were pulled out of the classroom to face their inevitable fate. The academy invested in the best minds, and there was no room for the weak or the hesitant. But success at this academy was no ordinary graduation. The student who received the highest mark was granted unprecedented power: the right to amend or repeal a law of the international constitution. This supreme award meant that the top graduate could change the course of the entire world with a single decision, and this decision was considered one of the most dangerous powers that could be granted to any human being. In this harsh world, Loki is chosen as Germany’s representative at the academy. Loki finds himself in an environment filled with deceit and deception, where students compete fiercely to survive and reach the top. Every wrong move could be their last, and every potential friend could be a hidden enemy.

THE DEAL

Less than half an hour after [Loki] left the orphanage, he managed to reach Munich International Airport.

As soon as he took his first step on the ground, he noticed a group of men in formal suits, with a prominent figure with a familiar face in the middle.

The current Chancellor of Germany, [Hans Müller], was standing there, watching the arrivals gate with a serious look.

[Loki] wasn't surprised because he expected [Muller] to be there, but [Loki's] face showed a look of disgust

Muller: "Hello"

Loki: "Hello old man"

Muller: "I hope you're ready"

Loki: "Stop talking nonsense, if you want me to meet your expectations you should stick to your side of the deal first"

[Loki] was talking to [Muller] with a disgusted tone, he didn't have a good and kind view of politicians

While the silence lasted for less than half a minute, [Loki] finally spoke

Loki: "If you have nothing else to say then I'm leaving, I have a long journey ahead of me"

[Muller] replied with a smile on his face

Muller: "No, nothing to add, have a nice trip"

While [Loki] was listening to these words, he continued walking past [Muller]

....

After a few minutes of walking, [Loki] found himself in front of A large white private jet,

Provided by the academy to transport students to the academy's official site to avoid government interference

After [Loki] boarded the plane, he immediately threw himself onto one of the comfortable seats.

After less than ten minutes, the plane took off, he began to feel some severe and annoying shaking, but it did not last long, [Loki] regained the feeling of comfort he felt the moment he sat in his seat

"So this is what the rich feel while traveling"

After these words came out of [Loki's] mouth, he began to sag on his seat while contemplating the clouds

"I hope I made the right decision"

[Loki] was doubting the correctness of his decision to accept his agreement with that old politician

....

{ Two years ago }

"So you're saying that you're going to fund this orphanage, in addition to providing proper education for all the children here"

[Loki] spoke in a tone filled with doubt, he couldn't help but wonder why they made this decision suddenly,

But a man in his forties who was sitting in front of him answered

"I know that you have a lot of questions and doubts"

Loki: "Of course, the first of which is how can the German Chancellor [Hans Müller] honor us with his gift after ignoring us for all this time"

[Loki's] words were filled with a tone of anger, but he was able to control his nerves and continue his speech

"In addition, why are you discussing this with me? Shouldn't you be talking about this with [Lady Diana]?"

As soon as [Loki] finished saying what he said, [Muller's] facial features changed to a serious expression

Muller: "To be honest, I need your help"

Loki was surprised by his words as he was thinking to himself, how could He can help Chancellor [Hans Müller] who was the president of Germany

Lucky: "How so?"

Müller: "I heard about the massacre that took place last month."

Lucky: "If you are talking about the Palestinian massacres, there is no one who has not heard about this."

Müller: "Yes, this news has gone up to the United Nations, which has caused conflicts between countries due to the misuse of the veto by the United States."

Lucky: "What's new? We all know that the veto cannot be withdrawn from it. The veto was originally established to cancel decisions that negatively affect the interests of major countries."

Müller: "That's true, but this time an action was taken by the United Nations that can cancel the veto permanently."

Lucky: "How so?"

Müller: "The United Nations decided to establish an academy in order to qualify more responsible future leaders. In addition, the student who graduates with the best grade can get the opportunity to add or cancel one of the international laws, but you may be executed if you are unable to graduate."

Lucky: "If, according to what you said, you want From me to get you this golden opportunity from a place that might be the last place I step in exchange for you supporting an orphanage "

Muller: "I know it's a tough decision but the academy will open its doors in two years from now so we will provide you with everything you need to prepare"

[Loki] was thinking deeply about his decision, this might be the only chance to provide a normal life for his sisters

But at the same time he was thinking about the possibility of his death there

"You can give your answer in two weeks"

As soon as he said that, Muller stood up ready to leave and continued his speech

"I told you what I have, now the decision is in your hands"

Loki was thinking deeply as he thought that he could manage the orphanage without the government's help as they endured hardships from bitter cold in the winter to lack of water in the summer in addition to lack of food

While [Loki] was distracted in his thoughts

[Lady Diana] entered carrying a teapot and some sweets in her hands

"Did that gentleman leave by force?" [Lady] asked Diana] On the departure of Mr.

"They had some urgent work so they left immediately"

"But they didn't even drink tea"

While [Loki] was talking to his mother, he noticed some silver strands of hair that indicated her old age.

Loki immediately concluded that Lady Diana was working more than she could bear.

But he cursed his stupidity for not noticing it all this time.

After seeing that, he made his decision as he looked into his mother's eyes with a warm smile.

"Mom, you don't have to suffer anymore."

.....

After [Muller] got into the black car, the driver spoke to him.

"Shall we go, sir?"

After hearing these words, [Muller] turned to the orphanage and said.

"I don't know what he liked about it, huh..... You can go."

After saying this, [Muller] sighed as he ordered the driver to go.

"Stop."

A wide smile appeared on [Muller's] face after hearing [Loki's] voice.

"It seems we have a lot to talk about... Get in."

[Loki] got into the car and sat next to [Muller].

Muller: "Then it seems that you "You've made your decision."

Loki: "Before that, I want to amend the agreement. I want to exempt the orphanage from paying water and electricity bills, in addition to exempting it from taxes for ten years."

Muller: "Although it will be difficult to provide all these privileges, I will work on it."

[Loki] sighed as he looked at the happy expression drawn on [Muller]'s face.
