Chapter 3 welcome to west academy
After a long bus ride all the new recruits of West academy have finally arrived. Only 30 students passed the exam 25 with the rank of Private 3 with the rank of Sergeant first class and 2 with the rank of Second lieutenant.
"Welcome all new cadets to West Academy I hope you enjoy your stay and have a wonderful year" the bus driver said with a smile as the students stepped off the bus.
As the students stepped off they where amazed at the mere site of West academy.
A 7 story tall green and light brown building with with a dueling track wrapped all around it like a roller coaster. They could hear the roar of the duel runners as they walked inside many of the children still in aw especially Rashad who had a huge smile on his face.
"Wow isn't this place amazing doesn't it just give you chills just to be near it" said Rashad.
"Its okay I guess" Marcellus responded.
"And those duel runners there amazing hear those engines I can't wait to ride one."
"That's the plan" Marcellus responded sarcastically.
Rashad went on and on about how excited he was everyone else started walking inside, after awhile Marcellus started walking inside as well responding "Yea great, really tell me more" until he was inside with the other students.
When Marcellus walked inside he heard someone say "Fall in" with a loud command voice so loud even Rashad heard it and quickly ran inside. The students gathered around the man who gave the said fall in.
The students couldn't believe it, the person they are talking to is the current General of the army, hero of america and principle of West Academy Five Star General Milton.
He was an old Caucasian male wearing the standard uniform but his was black he had 50 ribbons and 5 medals with his rank of five star general proudly on his shoulder. He looked very angry.
"What the hell is this" he said getting angrier and louder with every word.
"When I say fall in that means I want you in four rows standing side by side arm width apart from highest to lowest rank with your hands down and not moving a muscle."
Everyone got quite "Now" he yelled everyone then quickly did what he said.
"This is a standard formation get used to it because you will be doing it everyday from now on any questions." Nobody said a word in fear of making him angry "Good."
"I will be telling you everything you need to know about west academy I don't want to hear a sound from anyone till i'm done hue" nobody said a word
"When i say hue you respond with hue!" He was getting angry again everybody quickly responded with hue.
He glared at everyone "Then i'll begin."
"West academy does not just help you improve your dueling skills but it also trains your body and mind to it's limit!"
"Repeat after me our motto is to train young cadets to not only be great students but great life long citizens" everyone repeated in unison" everyone repeated.
"To do that we will beat into you the army values, the 11 principles of leadership, seven step problem solving process, the 3rs of good decision making, three step decision making process, stepping stones to success self-assessment, six steps for resolving conflict, and proper etiquette all that will be taught by your dorm administrators on Sunday and Sunday only."
Just thinking about it made the cadet exhausted.
"Next I will explain uniforms, and ranks I bet your wondering why your in military like uniforms and not colorful blazers like other academies." the general said with a smile
"The reason we wear these uniforms is to respect and serve our soldiers and country in anyway we can, don't you think the least we can do is wear this uniform in honor of our country and soldiers " The students started smiling and nodded there heads slowly.
"As for why you don't at least wear red, blue, and yellow uniforms to separate yourselves by skill technically you are look at your ranks" everyone starts staring at there ranks.
"If you are a rank of private - staff sergeant you are a Slifer red student and your rank should be red, if you are a rank of sergeant first class- command sergeant major you a Ra yellow student your rank will be yellow, last but not least if you are a rank of second lieutenant - colonel you are a Obelisk blue student.
"While where on the subject i'll be talking about dorms and classes depending on your rank you can either have the fanciest, nicest place you've every have or will live in or somewhere the project rats wouldn't even bother to sleep when i'm done talking depending on the color your rank you will take one the buses to my left with the same color they will take you to where you will be staying"
There was a red, yellow, and blue bus 10 feet to his left.
"Classes are a little different there are 6 classes on dueling everyday Slifer's will be taking classes on the dueling basics because obviously they need to learn them, the Ra's will be taking intermediate classes, and the Obelisk's will be taking advance class."
"If your not an Obelisk i bet your wondering how can you become one well its easy you must be promoted to that rank, to get promoted from one rank to another if your a Slifer all you have to do is either pass 1 test from each of your 7 classes or win your dorms tournament that's held every Sunday."
"For Ra's you must do both to get promoted up a rank."
"Obelisk must do the same but they also have to join a team and win any tournament you so chose the trip will be sponsored by West academy so you better not lose."
" Now let me explain in more detail how you get promoted from Slifer to Ra if you are a rank of private you must go threw all the other Slifer ranks such as corporal then when you finally reach the rank of sergeant first class you will be considered a Ra yellow and moved to the Ra dorms/classes."
"Same goes for Ra's when they reach the rank of second lieutenant they become Obelisk blues."
"Since i'm on the subject there are 3 different types of team's a normal 3 person team, a tag duel team, and a turbo dueling team you can only join a team when your an Obelisk blue but you do not i repeat you do not have to join a team remember the teams are sponsored by west academy so you better not lose or else."
"This is my last announcement before I send you off to your dorm there will be weekly community service and a weekly inspection to see if your keeping your uniform clean if you do not do a community service act within a week or your uniform is dirty you will be demoted if you get demoted from private you will be expelled from west academy."
"I believe that's it oh one more thing the bus comes at 7 sharp to pick you up for classes don't be late and welcome to west academy now fall out" Five Star General Gray said with a smile as he walked away.
The students fell out of formation onto the respective buses all you could hear as they walked on was "Man that guy sure has an attitude problem he needs to learn to chill out" "I know right he keeps talking to me like that i'm gonna snap on him" all the children started laughing expect Rashad ,Marcellus, and Elijah.
"If you have something to say say it to his face instead of talking behind his back like a bunch of cowards" Rashad said very angrily.
"Huh who are you you better shut up private or your gonna be after the old geezer" sergeant first class Devin said with confidence.
"What was that!" Rashad screamed
"Oh i'm sorry did i go to fast for you private" Devin said with a smirk."
I bet you wont fight about it though"
" I won't!"
They both got angry and ready to fight Marcellus comes up and hits them both upside the head "Stop you two idiots and get on the bus" they stood their glaring at each other "Now" Marcellus said angrily.
Everyone started getting on the buses Devin got on his Ra yellow bus while Marcellus and Rashad got on the Slifer bus.
"Man people like him make me so mad." Rashad said still angry
"You just ignore people like that" Marcellus said
"No you don't ignore them you stand up them and tell what there doing is wrong so they know not to do it again" Rashad said with fire in his eyes.
Marcellus just started laughing
" What's so funny"
"Nothing i just thought people like you didn't exist i'm glad they do " Marcellus said with a smile.
"My name is Marcellus whats yours"
"Rashad "
"Ha i hope the academy at least have working toilets" Marcellus said trying to break the ice.
Rashad started laughing "That's the worse joke I've ever heard i'll tell you a real good one."
The boys where talking like that for the rest of the bus ride to there dorm.
