章 25: Steve is Strong?

(So I narrowed the possible choices from the feedback I received. Choose between LadyDeath (OC), Scarlet Witch, or Thena for the Main Wife. This will be important to the story so choose wisely.)

==================

The next morning.

After having breakfast in the hospital and picking up a few more Medical Ability Cards, Kyle changed into the brand new Chief Officer uniform sent by Joseph in the ward, as well as the badge of the rank of Second Lieutenant.

Kyle was more attentive to his uniform than he was normally. He tidied up his collar and sleeves of the officer's uniform on the left and right, while carefully covering the folds of the clothing with his hands.

"I'm going to most likely be announced like a celebrity, so it's better to be well-dressed when I arrive." Kyle said, he wanted to look his best because he knew his achievements would be announced.

"Still can't wait to see the difference on Steve myself." Kyle continued.

'Now that I have the Tesseract cooking a skill in my {Card Space}, all I can do now do get a major boost is to rely on him. We are 'friends' after all.' Kyle started to smile.

"Still wish I could have gotten that Purple Ability, it seems that my human body can't take dramatic jumps at a time. This extraction condition is something I just discovered and it really sucks..." Kyle said with irritation in his voice.

When he said that, he withdrew his [Vibranium Gold Prototype Necklace] after a few moments from his {Card Space}. He put it on as he kept it only in Necklace Form.

"I won't wear the super suit underneath, incase there are any non-humans that can see through clothing. I do not want to create an unnecessary mess. It is almost undetectable as a Necklace unless you are from Wakanda and helps garner safety just incase of something unexpected."

Kyle touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "This is a good choice. There is no one known living outside of Wakanda here in New York that I remember, so I think it will be safe to wear it as a Necklace for extra safety."

He knew of many situations in stories where a main character gets severely injured because they do not use all their technology or power that they are capable of which caused him to want to be careful.

A subtle feeling arises spontaneously Kyle touches his necklace which felt cold around him.

Now is not the time for wasting anymore thoughts on the [Vibranium Gold Prototype Necklace].

He felt he must continue to get stronger, strong enough to face all the unexpected crises in this world without a worry.

Accumulating military merits to advance his military rank, and gaining certain prestige and wealth. There are still many things waiting for Kyle in this world.

After being reborn in Marvel, he realized he was an ordinary person, if he could not become the best, it would be a waste that he was given a card-drawing ability.

Kyle has his own blueprint for life and is waiting to add bricks to each wall.

'It's best to make a 'special' entrance, because why not?' Kyle thought to go big or go home when it comes to showing off and spreading his name.

...

Around eight in the morning.

Joseph personally drove a jeep to take Kyle to the military parking lot.

Kyle said goodbye to New York, and then boarded a transport plane with Joseph to return to his training base.

At this time, on the training base's formal meeting area.

The military specially set up a speech stage in the open space of the square. Steve delivered a speech as Captain America, but there were still many political factors.

The base commander issued an order early, forcing all soldiers in the training camp to listen to the speech on time in the square, and whoever did not go would be expelled from the military.

Secretly, all officers scoffed at Steve, who had never been on the battlefield but called himself 'Captain America'. Still they could not do anything directly without a punishment.

Steve Rogers, wearing American branded tights, took the stage to give a speech on the American war.

"We're going to make those Germans dance for us!"

"For our Justice!"

"For our Freedom!"

The soldiers under the stage did not really care. Some soldiers began gossip to each other during the speech.

Carter at the back of the stage clenched her fists and wanted to make things better for Steve, but there was nothing she could do.

"Please support me, I will lead us with our country's Senate to eliminate our enemies. Buying bonds during these times will bring us certain victory." Steve was helpless, he could only repeat what the Senate forced him to say.

"What are you saying Captain America?"

A friendly and powerful voice suddenly came from behind the square, and all the soldiers in the square immediately cast their eyes behind them in surprise.

They saw a young man in an officer's uniform standing behind the soldiers. He had a faint aura of majesty on his body, and looked at the soldiers with sharp, faint blue-green eyes.

"It's the second lieutenant, sir." The soldier who was about to retort swallowed his saliva in disbelief after noticing the rank sign on the young man's chest.

"Such a young lieutenant officer? Why haven't we heard of it."

"Is he even older than us?"

In the nervous whispering of many soldiers, some soldiers seemed to recognize the identity of the youth, and said loudly with complex expressions: "It's Kyle, Lieutenant Kyle Kell!"

'Lieutenant Kyle?'

Numerous recruits were stunned for a moment, and the eyes that looked at the young officer became frenzied.

"Hey, is he really that one?!"

"Of course! Look at the badge!"

"Oh my god! My American hero, he's my idol!"

"That's him! I joined the army because of his great deeds!"

The soldiers in the square were so excited that some were speechless. In the end, they didn't know who took the lead and shouted "Stand up and salute". Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers stood up in unison, turned around and saluted the young man: "Hello sir!"

"Sir, you've done so much!"

Facing their admiration, Kyle in the rear responded: "Thank you all for your attention; however, I am here to speak with Captain America."

The soldiers looked at each other in dismay, and finally replied. " Our apologies for disturbing the Lieutenant!"

Steve on the stage didn't speak, looking at the tall young man standing behind the soldiers, he was really ashamed at the massive difference of respect between them.

He suddenly remembered the sunset after Kyle won the marksmanship competition at the training base.

At that time, he remembered the seemingly 'kind' words Kyle said to him: "Steve, when you get stronger, I will come back so we can shake hands as I congratulate you personally."
