After a week of waiting, the award-giving day finally dropped by. It was a Monday, and the whole gladiator district was riled up for this day. The spectators could finally see their best gladiators get their awards in the arena.
Today, the Roman team members were going to get the reward for their labor of 3 years. After years of only wearing armor and light clothing as gladiators, they were finally going to dress corporately again.
Clark froze in place with a smile on his face, as he stared at his new look on a suit. After so long, he finally cut his beards yesterday.
It felt funny to him; he already entered the vicious men's circle of cutting your beard to avoid it looking bushy.
He was not even sure if Sonia would recognize him again if she saw his bearded appearance no
Thank you for reading this chapter, I really appreciate it. Surprise!!, it's a gigantic mass release session.
After the Roman Empire team members took their award, the manager did not waste time unnecessarily; he directly called for the 2nd place team. The Team Captain of the United States team led his teammates, as they walked forward to get their awards. The award for the 2nd place team was not different; it was the same equipment the 3rd place team received. But this time, they were privileged to take both weapon and armor. The equipment for the 2nd place team was made according to the standards of countries, with super high-grade military strength. Like those used by the soldiers of the Roman and the Microsoft empire organization. Shortly after the United States team took their award, the winners of the team tournament were finally called out to take their awards. Led by their vice-captain, the Great defender, the gladiators of the Microsoft empire team advanced towards the podium. Seeing only 4 soldiers, going to take the award brought back memories to t
In a brightly lit room, a surgeon worked with a serious expression on his face. His apprentices watched from a distance with shining but focused eyes, as their implants rapidly recorded the procedures that their mentor took. Hum!! Hum!! Faint rumbling sounds came from a machine nearby, as metal pipes extending from it held the patient tightly to the surgery bed. The metal pipes intertwined neatly like the tentacles of a space monster, as they held the patient firmly in place. Ptui!! One of the metal pipes finally extended forward, as it carefully dropped the tiny implant into the delicate brain of the patient, making a soft impact sound. The stitching machine reacted fast, as with the help of the surgeon; it neatly closed back the cut flesh. Another machine quickly sprayed a brown substance at the newly stitched area of the patient’s flesh, as the lines left by the stitching machine gradually closed up. After making sure that he did not miss a
Boom!! Another gunshot rang, reverberating round the huge Calibri mansion, as the commotion from the unexpected assault continued growing stronger. The hidden sniper succeeded in killing another soldier that was trained by the Calibri militia. Sonia swiftly ran forward, while butchering the assaulters facing her with her dual swords. She had an anxious expression on her face, as she pushed forward, advancing to where her brother laid feebly on the floor. … Back in the Sparta republic, when she boarded the warship that her brother was on, the situation at home was finally explained to her. Her mother, Elizabeth Calibri, was actually not suffering from an illness. She was poisoned. The poison was a very elusive and potent one that her doctor had to test for 2 weeks, before finding it. Despite the dreadfulness of the poison, the doctor promised that he could take care of it. But, how was the first lady of the Calibri house poisoned? Inves
Woods Calibri held his wife tightly, as their figures stirred like clothes being washed in a washing machine. The stirring finally stopped a little, as their disoriented eyes gradually started stabilizing. They now finally started taking in their surroundings, as the memories of what just transpired returned to their brain. “What did you do? Where are my children? Why are we alone?” As soon as Elizabeth Calibri recovered her memories, she grabbed her husband as he demanded where he sent her children. Her husband turned to look at her, as he tried hard without much success to rid his face of his pained expression. “I’m sorry Liz,” he gently apologized, as he held and stroked his wife’s hand. “I only had one of the super teleportation devices; I was able to get it by luck in one of the equipment auctions I visited”. “The other one I gave to Dan and Sonia was the ones my boys got from a war ruin. Its operation is completely random; I don’t know w
After entering the bar, Clark didn’t see anything that indicated this place as his country fleet’s hide-out. The bar was as boisterous as any other; the men here smoked and drank recklessly, as they sometimes burst into loud fits of laughter unexpectedly. What peeved him a bit was the way the men groped the female waiters. The expression on their faces showed their unwillingness, but they could only hide it behind a strained smile. This was their business after all. Despite feeling a little annoyed, he was still able to control himself. It was none of his business; he already learned the trait of absolute self-control, from his many experiences. The man escorting him suddenly made a sharp turn to the left; he followed the man as he was led to a dark corner. He kept quiet, despite a wall obstructing them now. The man suddenly moved forward again, as he knocked softly on the wall. As he knocked, a blue glow suddenly flashed briefly past his hand. Before
The next day, after settling everything needed, the huge fleet of the Spartan republic finally embarked on their journey. After preparing a room for Emily next to his room on the main ship, Clark finally prepared to attend his first military meeting in years.The tailors of the fleet, in conjunction with the tailoring A.I’s, prepared a completely brand new Spartan uniform for him. As the fleet was not facing an enemy, the higher-ups could wear their uniforms in the fleet, as no one would recognize them.The unique color of the Spartan uniform, blue, black, and white, stood out, making him look like a man of authority. Sergeants were the 2nd strongest soldiers and the most important individuals in the fleet, so they had an exalted status.The uniform was so immaculately made that he could not help smiling, as he admired its sharp and delicate edges. Paired with his slightly dark-toned skin, his current look was enough to win him an award.The badge i
A week slowly passed, as the Spartan fleet moved unhindered in the boundless waters of the Mediterranean Sea. For this period, they were fortunate to not have encountered any hostile fleet.Clark’s multiple battle encounters with the Camelotian fleet, was mostly due to their luck completely abandoning them. If fleets fought battles so frequently, no expedition forces of the various countries will ever return home intact.Throughout the week, Captain Oxford was maintaining constant communication with the Captain of the Dawn kingdom. After a lot of calculations, they finally decided on a location for both fleets to converge.Today, both fleets finally met each other for the first time. The 3 formidable-looking ships of the Spartan fleet slowly came to a halt in the middle of the sea, as they faced their allies.The lower-ranked soldiers and workers of the fleet could only guess why they were meeting an unknown fleet, but no one asked. They knew
Today was the 3rd day since the allied fleet embarked on their journey, to the general direction of the vault. They continued their preparations for this extremely important mission.After training every day for the past few years with only cold weapons as a gladiator, Clark was finally going to brush up again on his skills with the gun.Back in his days as a gladiator, he didn’t completely abandon his gun training. He still used his old implant to simulate training arenas, where he trained his mastery of the gun. Though he seldom did it, he was still able to retain his shooting skills.Emily and Scott accompanied him to the ranged training arena, as he got ready to take his aptitude test again.After staying together for more than a week, Sergeant Scott already kind of became his assistant. Despite being soldiers of the same rank, the Sergeant respected him so much, that he listened to his orders on everything.He also liked his company. Des
