The room fell silent as Natasha uttered those words right in the face of Commander Sable with full confidence and zero respect.

Everyone held their breaths as they didn't know how the commander would react to this at all, but he just stared deeply into Natasha's confident and devious-looking face.

"Alright then, it is completely your decision whether you want to be a part of this or not, but may I ask why?" Commander Sable replied in neither a respectful nor a rude manner, which surprised all of the other cadets in the room, but they knew it was best to remain silent for now.

"No reason, I just don't feel like dying any time soon," Natasha replied in the same girly rude manner with a disrespectful giggle in the end that showed her character.

Mako could feel the tension in the room rising as Commander Sable was trying really hard to contain his anger and to deal with Natasha professionally because he did say that they had the choice to either leave or join the special task force.

"Fine. You are entitled to your own opinion and choices. You may leave this room, a private will escort you back to your private quarters and you will be given further instructions after dinner by the main commander," Commander Sable said, keeping his composure in check.

Sable wasn't as much angry as he was disappointed at the foolishness of the girl standing in front of him, as he had seen many cadets full of themselves and selfish with their power go down the wrong path and much worse, and he could only hope that she wouldn't turn out like the rest.

Natasha showed a devious smirk as she turned around and started moving toward the door, without saluting or giving any form of respect to the commander.

"Come on, Haruto! We are leaving," Natasha as she walked past Haruto.

Everyone was left stunned once again as Natasha said those words without even thinking about where they were, or why they were even there.

Haruto for the first time looked up and stared at Natasha as if he was a slave desperate for food and water. He didn't utter a single word but Mako was quick to realize that the imposter they had once caught was not Haruto's personality as he could see in his eyes that he wanted to stay here.

Natasha had already reached the door and turned around to find Haruto still sitting in the chair which finally prompted her to show some emotion, but it wasn't the good kind at all.

"Haruto!" She yelled from across the room like an angry mother calling their kids back home after they had been playing outside for too long.

Haruto closed his eyes with fear after Natasha called out his name for the second time. He didn't want to make her upset at all and so he slowly started to stand up from his chair, but before he could start walking over to her, Commander Sable stepped in as he had had enough and grabbed him by the shoulder stopping him from going further.

"Stop! You are entitled to your own decision. She doesn't get any say in whether you want to help serve for humanity's future or not!" Commander Sable said to Haruto.

"Of Course! He is definitely entitled to make his own decision. What is your decision... Haruto...?" Natasha said keeping on her wicked smile.

Commander Sable could feel Haruto trembling which definitely told him that something was wrong with the two of them, but before he could even say anything or retaliate in any sort of way, Haruto made his move first.

Haruto broke away from Sable's grip and turned around to him and said, "Sensei! I appreciate your offer, but I also refuse your proposal, I willingly don't want to be a part of this!"

The atmosphere of the room intensified as Haruto said those words while bowing down to show respect and then proceeding to walk towards Natasha who widened her wicked smile to signify her victory.

Bill had gotten sick of this entire situation as he had experienced firsthand how wicked Natasha was and so he stood up to interfere in the situation and stop her from getting her way, but Commander Sable instantly stopped him from doing anything as he raised his hand towards him and signaled him to stand back.

Haruto made his way over to Natasha and they both exited the room together with Natasha whispering something in Haruto's ears just as they were about to leave.

"Good dog, I'll make sure to reward you later," She whispered.

"Yes, Natasha-kun," Haruto replied respectfully as he shut the door behind them and followed the private who was waiting for them back to their private quarters.

*************

The room was dead silent as everyone couldn't even believe what just happened was even possible it felt like they were in a dream but sadly it was not.I think you should take a look at

Natasha had just gotten away with disrespecting Commander Sable and had taken another promising soldier with her.

Commander Sable quickly brought everyone's attention back to him as he repeated his question again to the remaining six cadets, only this time he didn't do so with the real jolly tone that he had been using after they had passed the test and had reverted back to his strict and angry tone.

Nobody else refused the commander's proposal as they gladly accepted their new role and responsibility, each accepting it with their own agendas and aspirations in mind.

This helped calm the commander's mood a little bit, but he was still definitely disturbed about Natasha and Haruto, especially after hearing the last comment that Natasha made to Haruto as they were leaving.

The Commander had far superior hearing than the cadets and he was easily able to pick up Natasha's comment which made him wonder if it was intentional or not.

'She is dangerous and already knows so much about the military and their rules. What is her goal? What is she hiding? Ahh! These damn rules won't let me do anything! I'll just have to keep my eye on her at all times.' The Commander thought as he was finishing up giving all the details to Mako and the other cadets.

There were many rules set in place to protect weaker people in the military, especially women from the stronger people as there had been cases in the past where some old corporals and sergeants abused their power and would take advantage of female cadets.

These rules were always active and had unique means of being enforced which prevented Commander Sable from doing anything to Natasha or stopping her and Haruto.

Commander Sable told the group that they were effectively bumped up to being privates and that their training will begin immediately.

The original timeline of events that were supposed to take place was that after passing the test and getting admitted, the students were to return back home to finish their term before starting military school.

However, Mako and the other five cadets were given the shocking news that they would be transported back home after dinner using the teleportation device to gather all their belongings and say goodbye to their loved ones, before coming back to the military base the following day from where they will start their journey.

With that Commander Sable left the room saying that he had other business to attend to, leaving Mako and the other cadets alone in the room to finally catch up.

****************

However, before anyone could do anything, Erin was the first one to stand up and march up to Iris with a face full of anger as she was still super salty and mad about how she acted like she didn't even recognize her as they landed in the military base.

Mako, Leon, and Bill exchanged fist bumps as they were just glad to see that Mako was alive and healthy while Erin kept chewing out Iris.

As the group was busy catching up with everything that had happened in the past few days, Nathan silently got up and left the room without saying a single word and it was too late before anyone realized that he was already gone.

Nobody was able to sense his sudden departure, not even Mako, which was rather surprising, but they decided to just leave him be for now and just focus on catching up with each other.

The group talked about many things after the night of the final wave was over, each one sharing their own experiences.

Time flew by and it was already time for dinner by the time they had finished catching up. Two privates entered the room to guide them to the dining hall where they had dinner together which was rather uneventful with neither Natasha, Haruto, Nathan, or Commander Sable joining them.

After dinner, they were immediately directed toward the teleportation room, and one by one, they got on the teleportation platform that would teleport them right to their front door.

Everyone said their goodbyes and one by one began disappearing into particles as they got teleported away with Mako and Bill being the last ones, who got teleported together as they were living in the same home.

The teleportation took only a second and Mako and Bill were back in the woods of Emerald City with a lonely house right in front of them that had been built generations ago.

Mako had a huge smile on his face as he opened the front door and turned the power back on.

"Home Sweet Home!"
