Chapter 1380
Jumping with joy, Luna latched herself to Yaa.
"Marie! When did you arrive?"
Yaa warmed up to Luna upon seeing the latter. "We'll be welcoming the freshers today. They seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?"
The girls walked away while they chatted, but Yaa didn't speak with Klaus when they saw each other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore, Klaus pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally exclaiming on how Yaa had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Cannons, that was where she truly belonged.
Yaa was feared among the freshers.
Furthermore, Justin Clark had his name called out directly by her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Adwoa appeared out of nowhere to scare him. "Aha! You're done for! The general called for you! Justin, you should be prepared! The following month will be hell for you!"
Justin was on the verge of tears. As if having realized something, he asked Adwoa, "Is Luna the commanding general's sister?"
However, his question went unanswered as Adwoa left to flatter Yaa, or else it could easily be her turn to get singled out for the coming month. Justin stared at Luna, who seemed to be close to Yaa in confusion while she hugged Yaa.
She seemed to be totally different from who I thought she was. Yaa hailed from the prestigious Cannon Family, so does Luna being her sister mean that she is also a Cannon? No, that's impossible! How could a Cannon possibly work as a mere security guard?
Unfortunately, he would never get to know the truth, nor did he have time to brood on the subject any longer, as the military training would soon begin.
Lasting for a period of a month, the training was an obstacle that one would be required to pass if one wished to enter Taadi University. Every year, there were a lot of students who would voluntarily drop out of the university as they couldn't handle the training.
On the other hand, Yaa already knew of Klaus and Luna's relationship. The Cannon's were also keeping a close eye on them. Connie's nuclear bomb and the Cannons' army were all targeting Klaus like thousands of knives that were pointing at him, so he had a lot of pressure on him. After all, being an old son in law was never easy. However, Klaus chose to go down that road nonetheless.
The sisters parted ways after briefly catching up with each other, since Yaa had a job to do, she still had to train a bunch of youngsters. Adwoa, Ryan, Desmond and Jeremi, who were all among the same batch of freshers, were attending to Yaa in hopes of getting on her good side, since they knew the military training would be taking a toll on them.
Upon leaving the school, Klaus rode on his bike with Luna sitting behind him.
While on their way back, Luna suggested out of the blue, "Klaus, why don't we join the military training too?"
She never knew what the military training was about, as she never was involved in it. Although the Clemons and Cannons would organize similar trainings for their children every summer, she missed out on all of them as she was studying away from home. Initially, she intended it as a joke, but unexpectedly, Klaus agreed to it without hesitation.
"Sure."
By the next day, the two of them got onto the bus that would take them to the military base. Seeing them on the bus devastated Adwoa. "Why are you two here? You can literally go do anything else if you have too much free time to spare!"
However, Luna didn't answer her. Instead, she took a nap while leaning against Klaus's shoulder. In turn, he held her shoulder too, which seemed to indicate that their relationship was making rapid progress. Nevertheless, Klaus still held on to his principle, for he would never cross that final line before she was eighteen.
The previous incident was merely an accident considering that he was drunk.
On the other hand, Giry also applied to join the training after catching wind of their attendance, but he quickly realized that he had no business joining it in the first place.
Luna had a comfortable nap while leaning against Klaus's shoulder before waking up at the military base.
Klaus looked extraordinary in the military uniform. Not only was he tall and handsome, but his emerald eyes gave him an air of mystery. His blond hair was also noticeable within the crowd who all had black hair.
The military uniform he wore gave him an added advantage to attract the attention of young girls. As soon as they arrived at the base, Luna noticed that a lot of girls were trying to strike a conversation with him as well as getting his contact.
The sight of it irked Luna, so she hurried over to hold his hand, declaring her relationship with him before dragging him away just like a kitten trying to protect its food from being taken away.
Klaus shook his head with a smile on his face, all the while turning his palm around to hold her hand and allowing her to drag him away. From then on, they had a tacit agreement to hold hands whenever they met up.
Their relationship had seen major progress throughout the training program.
Since they were the ones who took the initiative to join the training, Yaa wasn't about to go easy on them, so she assigned them into the Superb Company. Almost all of the descendants from the Four Great Families and the Bowen Family were assigned to that company due to their parents' request. Contrary to the other parents who were worried that their children might suffer during the training program, the Four Great Families all put in requests to increase the intensity of their children's training.
Yaa oversaw the company's training personally, as she was adamant to go about things the right way. Therefore, they started off their first day of the training program with a so called 'death match'.
Giry rubbed his palms together expectantly. With ten years of experience in mixed martial arts, he volunteered to join Klaus's group to get a chance to fight him. He even signaled to Ryan and Desmond to join him in the opportunity to defeat Klaus.
However, Ryan shook his hands to indicate that he dared not join in the fray, nor did Desmond agree to it. The latter needed to maintain an immaculate outward appearance, as his career depended on it. Out of them all, Jeremi feared Klaus the most, as he didn't want Luna to clobber him like when they were still kids if he ever laid a finger on Klaus.
In the end, Giry stood in front of Klaus alone while saying savagely, "Klaus, we've known each other for a long time. I heard that you learned martial arts, so I'd like to have a match with you! Come on! You don't have to hold back! Give me your best!"
"Sure. Let's fight."
With that, Giry got a good beating from Klaus in front of all the girls on the first day of the training, being repeatedly pummeled to the ground again and again, and again.
Finally, Giry arrived before Luna with bruises all over his face while he wept. "Klaus hit me! He hit me! Look at what he had done to me!"
However, Luna didn't take pity on him.
"You got what you deserved! Klaus and Marie are from the same family, so you should've known how strong he is just by seeing how strong Marie is!"
Klaus wouldn't have survived if he were weak.
With that, Giry left tearfully with Ryan's support.
In spite of his spectacular defeat, Giry still refused to admit it, so he continued to compete with Klaus in every other way he could find, only to realize that he seemed to fall short in all regards when it came to Klaus.
