This is a Youjo Senki Fan Fiction Only.

"I honestly don't see why you are so upset." I grabbed my bag and hers and just stood waiting for her to get off the train. She looked like she was ready to strangle a kitten, I am not kidding, she was furious and here I was holding our luggage with no clue what the hell caused this to happen.

"First you didn't wake me up, second, I overslept, and finally since I overslept my hair is a mess, granted I should not be so concerned about my appearance considering that we didn't even get to sleep on a bed, and I basically slept with you basically holding me in the most embarrassing way possible basically you spooning me."

I still don't know what the hell is she even talking about? Since when do I behave like a cat? "Well I could say this is partially your fault for telling me we look like a couple, I must have subconsciously agreed with you and so we sort of ended sleeping together as a couple. Now be honest the only reason you are upset is that you ended up sleeping with your clothes on."

She looked at me and then at the long walkway as she came to me and took her bag, "Alright, I guess I am upset that I will not be making the best first impression. So can we stop arguing like a pair that has been married over a decade and go get ourselves some breakfast? Or do you want to start the first day at the officer's school on an empty stomach?"

If this officer's school is anything like my previous life, the answer is yes to skipping breakfast, having a DI scream at me on how much on an utter disgrace and failure I am with a breath that could make a mutt throw up is not what you need after eating a big breakfast.

We finally got to the training facility, and now I am regretting not eating breakfast, this is more like college than what I expected, no, I am not kidding, classroom, building, cafeteria, a gym, and even a shooting gallery. I am loving this, I can go to that shooting gallery in my free time so I can continue to work on my ballistic magic.

"Could you please try and not smile so much? You are making people around us worry. You look like a psychopath that was just told he got a license to kill and a week-long trip to Disneyland, what is making you so happy?"

I looked at her and couldn't help but to smile, "That I will not get rusty while learning things I probably already know." That is when she realized something as we walked by another campus map and she could not help but to shake her head apparently.

"So they got a gym and a shooting facility, that is why you are so happy, even when I can hear your stomach growling like that, I told you, you should have at least had some flapjacks but did you do that? No, you did not."

I looked at her and smiled some more, "Maybe what I wanted to have for breakfast is you."

She punched me right in my gut, made me bend over from the sheer pain and when I was she flat out kissed me right there at the entrance to the very building we had to enter for our commencement ceremony.

"Then you should have woken me up early, our seat was cramped but I could have worked something out if you told me you wanted something like that." Alright, this is clearly revenge for me embarrassing her. She once told me that in her previous life she was a salaryman, well, she sure doesn't behave like one in this one.

As we stepped in we were faced with the realization that there were only fifty students, and apparently, we were the only ones that had ever actually seen combat cause they look so innocent I think I am getting a cavity just by listening some of them speak how wonderful serving in the military is going to be.

"Welcome, you men and one lady have been chosen due to your achievements to undergo training and receive the education to serve our glorious fatherland as officers in our military, now granted most of you come from several locations, but I believe that each and every one of you will not fail to do your best for the Empire and for our beloved nation."

"Your classes will consist of morning physical drills, followed by classes, and after those classes you will be free to take time and take care of any personal necessities, in the evening you will have another class and a drill before going to bed, do you have any questions?"

I just had one question, I know this is going to make me sound crazy but who cares, I just need to know, "Can we that shooting gallery, are there any limitation on the magic we can use, and limit on how much ammo we can use per day?" He looked at me and then at the class.

"If it is in your free time, yes, you can, and will use it during your morning drills at least once a week, no magic that can cause harm to a large area, and no limitations on ammo, we got more than enough of it, and if you manage to run out, we can get more, there is even material for you to make some."

Why is this officer smiling at me like that? As today was the day we arrived we were told where our domiciles were, and wouldn't you know it, we had to share the room with someone else, and I know Tanya will complain yet again, but they decided to stick both of us in the same quarters again.

Maybe it is because we are almost the same age, or maybe it is because we grew up together, but be as it may, we live in the same quarters and she will complain yet again about my supposed snoring like she is one to talk about snoring.

Two twin beds, two desks, a large bookshelf, and one toilet, there was a communal bathing area at the end of the hall. Guess this means that Tanya is not the only lady that will try to become an officer.

As we made it to the cafeteria, she just wanted a cup of coffee, I wanted some breakfast, or I am liable to kill someone. I took my tray and stood in life, waiting for my turn, dear god, I never met a woman who had more muscles than the old DI I used to know and he was a guy who went to the Olympics for weightlifting.

"What will you have?" I looked at her, told her bacon, eggs, toast, and a glass of juice. She told me bullshit, and instead gave me an omelet, side order of rice, fruit salad and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. With the way she looked she could make that orange juice by just closing her fist, I am not dumb enough to argue with her. I told her to thank you and I took my food to a nearby table.

"Well, aren't we getting special treatment? You know Hild doesn't do that just for everyone you know. You might want to be careful there new guy, I think she fancies you." I am simply too hungry to argue, I just began eating my food, and no I didn't say grace, Being X knows exactly how I feel about him.

Well, the food was great, the people talking about how that muscle-bound lady did something she apparently has never done before and how also it has never been seen that two students of the opposite gender were assigned the same room. I honestly hope these idiots get their gossip over with as soon as possible, if I want them dead, if Tanya hears any of it, these idiots will wish they had died in their sleep.

As I looked next to the once vacant seat, I realized it was too late, "Honestly these guys gossip as much as if they were housewives. They never realized that the food lady is actually Victoriya's mother and she in fact only did that to thank you for keeping her daughter safe in the front lines."

"What? I was hungry too. As for us shacking up? Well, I don't care. Idiots like these take care of themselves once we get our assignments, I am picturing these idiots being assigned to lead a unit in the front lines."

If they are lucky that will happen sooner rather than later, this would allow them to earn fame and recognition in order to ascend through the ranks faster, granted the entire thing is also with a higher risk on their lives, but in the end, there are only two routes, the slow and safer or the quick and dangerous, in order to gain something must be lost, nothing is ever free.

As I finished my meal I decided since today was a free day, I would take my rifle from my closet and take it with me to the shooting gallery, I needed to make a few adjustments and modifications to my trusty friend.

I went to the work table and sure they have everything we need to modify, repair, and even chamber new munition if needed. I finished cleaning my rifle, adjusting the sights, my monocle was also cleaned and realigned, and I began to work on my latest project, a new type of bullet.

This bullet featured a crystal that was encased in a full metal jacket, I began to touch the bullet with my blood and everything was going as planned. I began to fire some minor fire spells at the targets, the spell hit and sure enough the new bullet had a much finer control than the old ones.

I began to concentrate on my monocle and I also saw that Tanya was having a hard time, right through the wall in the area behind the shooting gallery, Tanya was apparently being pestered by several young men, who by the looks of it was getting a little grabby with Tanya, and she did not look happy about this, she was outnumbered.

I put a shock spell in one of the bullets and aimed for the feet of the fools who were trying to molest my good friend, Tanya, without even thinking about it I aimed and fired my rifle. The spell hit the wall, went through the bricks leaving them intact and hit the ground where the fools were.

They all screamed something close to bloody murder and promptly fell unconscious. Seeing that my good deed was done, I began to concentrate on my project and enjoying my time at the shooting gallery trying new spells with the new ammo I just invented.

As my free time came to an end I walked out and headed towards my next class. I had no idea that someone was keeping an eye on both of us and as soon as I got to where Tanya was she gave me a hug, what the hell brought this on?

"So you also noticed that we are being tailed? Well if I noticed it, I should know that you would too. Do you happen to know what happened to the guys that were trying to force me into giving them shall we say a more intimate meeting that I was willing to provide?"

I walked towards the classroom and simply smiled at her, the minute she saw my smile she began to laugh, "I should have known better, you were keeping an eye on me with that monocle of yours weren't you? What would Victoriya say if she knew what you did?"

I opened the door and for a second I was a little upset at the mere mention of her gossiping, "I would think she would be proud that a bunch of men did not get to insult or assault a young lady in what appears to be such a horrible manner."

We walked to our seats, which were right next to each other, I was still carrying opened a book and began to read it. I needed to go over something things while we waited for our instructor and fellow classmates to arrive, well I know a group that is in the infirmary, but the thing is I don't feel one bit guilty.

"If they can't handle such a weak shock, they should really reconsider being in the military, the enemy will not be as merciful." She looked mighty happy for some reason. "Or it could be that you were, in fact, jealous over little me. I don't know why you would react that way, it's not like we are dating or anything."

I really hate that about her, "Then consider me an overprotective surrogate brother if the idea of us being seen as a couple bother you so much, now excuse I need to go over the ethics portion again for our next lesson. The last thing I need is to look like a fool before our instructor."

She laughed as she took my book from me, "Oh, like you need to go over ethics and command responsibilities, the only reason you don't want to look like a fool is that you would need to remain here for longer, and you would miss time doing what you love best."

I grabbed my book from her, still trying to pretend to be cute I see. "I don't deny that keeping our nation safe from invasion is one of my joys, as it should be one of yours. We have a duty to defend the Fatherland as you should well know. Now enough with the pointless discussion, and let me read about this section."

She leaned closer to me, "What section has you so worried?" I told her it was the section on how to deal with the consequences of failure and who would receive a much-deserved punishment. She laughed and she sat on her chair after I finished reading I went back to clean and do maintenance on my trusty rifle. Never go anywhere without it.

This rifle was as much a trusty ally than any person I know. I was just finishing cleaning the parts when our instructor came into the room, he just walked to the form of the class and didn't even mention me cleaning my weapon and putting it back together by the time he was ready to begin teaching class.

"I see some of you want to keep busy that is good, idle hands tend to cause trouble. As for trouble, we had a report that half of our class has been admitted to the local clinic for minor electrical shock and burns. Karl kindly put your weapon away, I got a question for you since apparently, you think you are pretty good in this subject."

"An order was given to deal with an enemy battalion on a hill? The mission fails, who is responsible and will be punished for the failure?"

I began to think of it and I realized something is missing in this scenario. "Excuse me I need to know who gave the order and who made the decision that leads to the failure. Without this information, I can not make an accurate judgment call."

He looked at me and smiled, "Very well explain the different judgments based on all possible outcome that leads to the failure. What would it matter who gave the order if the outcome is still the same?"

I looked at him, "Because depending on who gave the order the responsible person might be quite different, if the order was given by a low ranking officer, then that officer is responsible, but if the order was given by a higher ranking officer and that order had incorrect information, then the higher officer is responsible, and if the men that went to fight the enemy ignored the order for their own safety then it is their responsibility. Punishment may vary depending on the outcome."

The instructor began to clap, "Well that is a good answer, sit down, and why aren't you all coping that down? It could very well be in this week's exam. Now that I asked let us learn why the answer from your fellow classmate as correct."

Half an hour on the responsibility of command, as a career military like I need to be reminded that the bitching goes down, not up. I pretended as best as I could to show some real interest in what the instructor told us and finally after three lessons on ethics, regulations and military code we were allowed to go eat dinner.

"Well, we both ended up being the stars on today's lessons. Oh, common Karl, I was just teasing you, you know that if Victoriya ever decides to give you the boot, I will always help you out."
