A week later, after all the hustle and bustle created from the graduation ceremony, Clark was finally assigned to a military division of the Spartan army. After graduation, all the new soldiers are to be sorted out there in the Southern Sparta military headquarters, where they’ll be assigned to different military divisions. Clark applied to be in the same division as Leo, which was finally processed and approved after a week of patiently waiting. They were ready to face the next phase of their careers, as soldiers of the Spartan republic. After graduating as a soldier, the next phase was service. You serve and protect the republic after becoming a soldier, that was the primary duty of Spartan soldiers. ... 200 soldiers were assigned to each military division, to bolster their ranks. Clark, Leo, and 198 others were assigned to the Python military division in Delhi city. The 200 of them sat in the military airplane as it flew to Delhi city. As a military airplane, their journey was fast and without obstruction. They finally arrived, after 6 hours of traveling. After arriving, they were led straight to the base's assembly ground which was already filled with thousands of soldiers. An emergency assembly was announced and formed, shortly after their arrival. The leader of this military division is a high-grade soldier called Captain Daniel. As a Captain, he is a soldier with the 3rd breakthrough under his belt just like Captain Spoky, who recently became Lieutenant Spoky. Captain Daniel was a middle-aged soldier, probably younger than Lieutenant Spoky, Clark deduced from his observation. They saluted him before saluting their new fellow soldiers. Captain Daniel sternly looked at them as he said. “Soldiers, welcome to the Python military division. We already know your identities, so no need for introduction”. From this opening greeting speech alone, they deduced that their new superior was probably a very direct man. “Here in the Python military division, I entertain no complacency, nor disobedience or stubbornness. I expect every soldier under me to respect and obey me, no matter what background you have"."I will personally punish any new disobedient soldier, and I can take drastic measures if required, to discipline you,” he continued coldly. “Sergeant Clark, Sergeant Leo, Sergeant Benny, we welcome you to our military division”. The thousands or so soldiers immediately saluted after their Captain, as they greeted the 3 of them. Sergeant Benny was also a new high-grade soldier who graduated with Clark and the others, but he was from a low ranked military training base. The Captain continued after the exchange of greetings. “All the new soldiers, you are all expected to do anything you want and socialize with your fellow soldiers for a week, before you officially report for duty". "The 3 new sergeants should follow me to the main hall, for the high-grade soldier’s assembly”. He directly turned around, walking to the hall as they quickly followed him. About a minute later, they finally reached the military base's main hall, where they found some soldiers already seated. The captain went to the forefront of the hall and sat on the luxurious chair there, as the 3 new high-grade soldiers stood before him. “Good evening soldiers,” he greeted again, after adjusting to a comfortable angle on the chair. “Good evening Captain,” Clark, Leo, and Benny all greeted back, as they calmly observed their surroundings. “You are welcome again. This is the main hall of this military division, these soldiers seated here are going to be your new comrades,” the Captain spoke while facing them. “We have 18 high-grade soldiers in this military base, including me. The addition of the 3 of you will now make us 21". "Mark and Clinton, there are my second in commands, they both already have their 2nd breakthrough. The other 15 are of the same rank as you are, try to socialize and mingle with them”. After saying this, he finally turned to face Clark. “The great Clark, your legendary achievement already spread throughout the whole division,” he suddenly said with a grin on his face. “Your achievement is indeed great. Yes, but here we don’t talk with points, we talk with our fists". He emphasized this by suddenly raising and tightening his fists, as it made a soft boom sound. "A lot of the soldiers here are very eager to challenge you, don’t disgrace your numerous bestowed medals. You have a week to settle down and finish all of your side necessities before you officially resume”. After the Captain finished, the 3 of them did not linger again. They directly left, after the captain informed them to read the military division’s guide. Before leaving, most of the high-grade soldiers came to greet them as they started small conversations to familiarize themselves. The other high-grade soldiers simply nodded as a form of greeting at them, before leaving. Clark, Leo, and Benny, the trio was assigned to stay in the same building. Finding it was not hard, as, through directions, they quickly located the building. The house was very wide and luxurious, it was a 3-bedroom apartment built for the military division’s high-grade soldiers. They were tired, so they just lied down on the sofa while Leo and Clark asked Benny to tell them about himself. They already told him about themselves, so it was now his turn. As prospective future long-term comrades, they had to know more about themselves than the regular conventional knowledge. Benny came from a relatively average background. He was older than both of them, he was already 20 years old this year.His mother is a doctor, while his father is a factory worker. His father works in a nutrient pack producing company. His parents were fairly average in terms of wealth and age, they were still middle-aged. His parents didn’t save money for him like Clark’s parents did, they directly enrolled him in a military training base that they could afford when the time came. Like them, he was also very passionate about being a soldier. When his parents knew about his dream, his mother strongly opposed the decision as she felt that soldiers undergo too much risk. His father was the direct opposite, he readily agreed, reasoning that his son will bring more money to the house as soldiers received the highest pay in today’s economy. Clark and Leo were completely speechless as they laughed when they heard about the reasoning of this guy’s father. So far so well, they got along pretty well. They decided to invite him as they both planned to go on a short tour with Clark’s new car, for the free week of grace. He readily agreed which finalized it, as they started joking about a lot of other things. After a lot of discussions and jokes, they finally fell asleep as they were clearly exhausted from jet lag.Clark’s new car was brought to the military division base today before the keys were handed over to him. He slept in peace, as he finally fulfilled one of his highly anticipated dream of being a bonafide soldier of the Spartan republic.
