Unofficial Civilian Soldier

[STATUS

NAME: ALEXANDER SAAD

ELEMENT: ICE (Enhanced)

COMBAT POWER: SOLDIER (KNIGHT)

CONSTITUTION: WHITE ☆☆☆☆☆]

I am a little surprised to see my Constitution has gained two more ☆ means I am at the peak of the White Constitution and I will soon get the Pink constitution, if I continue working hard.

My Grade has been changed to Combat Power and as per Jack, the Combat Power is divided into Soldier, Officer, Chief, General, Lord, Duke, King and even more which are further divided into Squire, Knight and Hero.

And I am only in the Combat Power level of the Soldier with Knight tier which makes me feel a little downcast as I expected it to be a little higher, even at the Officer level, but I am only at a Soldier level for now.

I come back home empty handed with no rewards or passing the assessment, but full of smile and happiness on me which baffles my family thinking I have gone mad because failing in the assessment.

I tell them about the freedom I wanted to have which I will never get if I would have passed the assessment. They also didn't get the holowatch back or remove Shona from it as she will still be there to keep an eye on me, to make sure I don't reveal the secrets of Obsidian Shadow which has become a win-win for me.

She will also help me in ways to improve my Combat Power and become a professional hunter and hunt for the monsters and wild animals that try to destroy humanity and their way of life which has been already changed once.

I check the email I received from the Obsidian Shadow telling me about the assessment results, and to my shock it says even Vimal has failed the assessment when he fought bravely and showed how talented archer he is.

I even received 200 contributions as a reward for helping the soldiers in clearing the dungeon. I now have only 1347 contributions which is not going to be helpful in anyway even for getting decent weapon or armor.

I keep reading the email which has two attachments at the bottom which I didn't look at first as I was not interested in it since I have failed the assessment, willingly. I open one of the attachments to see what it is about and I am surprised to see a word in bold 'HIRED' stamped in red across the paper.

At the top of the attachment I see 'UNOFFICIAL CIVILIAN SOLDIER' which makes me feel a little uncomfortable as these type of unofficially hired people will only be there for doing clean-ups and to close the loop-holes illegally.

I am selected in the Obsidian Shadow even after I failed the assessment and Jack clearly knows I did that on purpose. It says I can do whatever I want, but when they call me for a mission and I am obliged to do it.

This makes me worried as the word 'obliged' feels like they will force me to do things that I won't like or want to do. It also says that if I don't complete the missions given to me, I will have a heavy repercussion which will effect my growth in the future.

When I see this, I am getting a bad feeling as the ways to effect someone's growth is dark and merciless that will affect the future of not just one person's but the people around that person and the humanity which is unacceptable for me, but for some reason, the Obsidian Shadow, the secret organization run by the government does it which shows how strict towards the people who doesn't follow the orders or brave to handle what is thrown upon them.

I look at the job description and I am shocked to see they will ask us to go to places far from our homes and will make us to stay in the wilderness for long time which will be dangerous for people with in low levels, grades and combat powers.

There is a lot of nocturnal animals and monsters that comes out at night and some of the animals gain a little boost to their element and raw power at night for some reasons which are yet to be found. After going through the attachment I am a little worries, 'Who are the real monsters in Almeya?'

Was it the wild animals, the animals and bi-pedals from the dungeons or the humans who use their power to enforce such a cruel methods on each other and to say it is for the betterment of humanity which makes me feel nauseous.

In a way, it will help people to get stronger when they hunt alone in the wilderness that is equal their power-level, but if they are to stay there at night, even a person with a grade higher won't be able to say that he will be alive at dawn the next day with assurance as that is how hard it is to say out of the defense walls at night.

The attachment also has a a map that has divided the surrounding area's of Havet into sectors depending on how powerful the animals in that sector are, from Sector-1 to Sector-4 as there are no monsters or wild animals that are above the D-grade near the town which is good for training the newly awakened young people.

With the Fruit of Wonder, in a way I have also become a newly awakened and will have to learn how this new 'Combat Power' will help me in gaining the power and to fight the bi-pedals I have seen in my nightmare.

In a way, I like it as it gives me the freedom of growth and do what I want, but is also the most dangerous job I have ever seen, even dangerous than the missions in the military as I will be doing this with no one to watch my back.

If I tell these to my family, they will be worried a lot and will never allow me to agree to the terms of the job description, especially my sister. But they have no other choice than accept it.

Little do I know, failing in the assessment will change my life in ways I never expected and never dream of.
