Chapter 55: Becoming A Real Soldier

"Good afternoon, everyone. Today, we are honored to host a grand military rank awarding ceremony for our student, Arix," announced the instructor hosting the ceremony. He began clapping, and soon a thunderous applause filled the auditorium.

Amidst the applause, today's guest of honor, Arix Kering, walked out from backstage. She ascended the steps to the stage, arriving beside the hosting instructor.

Dressed in a deep blue uniform of the Alliance with golden embroidery, Arix looked strikingly gallant.

Her black hair, tied back, revealed a delicate oval face.

Her eyes, deep and calm like sapphires, complemented her noble brows that hinted at her spirited nature.

Even her cute face carried an air of uncompromising resolve.

"Wow, so sassy."

"Go Arix! You're the sassiest!"

"She's so beautiful, how did we not notice this before?"

"Wait, did the instructor get the name wrong? Isn't her last name Thalis?"
