"Please show your ID, sir." The guard at the entrance of the military region asked the young man who seemed to be in his late 20s.
Of course, you couldn't guess a person's age by their appearance. For instance, Sovereign Ares also looked to be in his twenties.
"Here." Varian tapped his comm, and an ID popped up.
After a quick scan, the guard saluted and guided him to the core region.
Varian once again entered Valos' military region and noticed the changes.
There were fewer soldiers. Some training facilities which used to be full were now desolate. But unlike simply patrolling, the soldiers now face the real danger in the planetoids.
Somehow, this reminded Varian of the defense academy.
Back there, all he had to do was practice and improve. But once he was out, he had to literally save the world from destruction.
