The General Who Hates Me 54 Slip Away

"Find out who's the last General that voted." Keira sent a message to John and in a second her phone rang.

Her smile almost reach her ears when she heard the news that it was Zach's vote that let her be admitted to the Academy.

It only meant one thing for her… She's still not a stalker in his eyes.

"We are definitely destined for each other!" She whispered as she couldn't hide her excitement. She even stomped on her feet like she was running but not moving at all because of the b.u.t.terflies that were rumbling in her stomach.

She did not care at all if someone might have seen her at that moment. She also wanted to scream out of joy but controlled herself of course.

Then the time came when they heard the loudspeaker as all of them were instructed to report at the Main Hall.

Keira was already walking when she felt a hand on her shoulder so she stopped.

It was Vel who seemed to be very timid and barely looked at her with her head slightly down.

Keira smiled and asked, "Yes Vel, do you need anything?"

Vel looked at her and let out a half smile before she said, "I want to say sorry for being insensitive toward you. I thought you are like others so I judged you like the same but I was wrong. Sorry, Keira. Also, thank you."

Keira winked at her and said, "Nah, it's nothing, Vel. We are good. Let bygones be bygones. So let's hurry… You know, I'm so excited to reach there that I even want to run to the Main Hall."

Vel slightly felt bashful when the smiling Keira grabbed her wrist as she energetically went back to walking to the Main Hall.

At the oath-taking ceremony and reception rites, Field Marshal Chan was present and gave an encouraging and welcoming speech to the newly admitted members of the ZMA Cla.s.s.

"I heard my daughter caused a commotion, but then the Generals who voted Yes for her, I will deal with them after… because as a FATHER, I really don't want my daughter to experience hards.h.i.+ps but of course, she is determined. As I've always said, treatment inside the Military Academy should be always fair… So treat each and everyone as comrades because we are all here for the same goal regardless of the differences." Field Marshall Chan said and a round of applause was heard, so he paused.

Then he continued, "What is important is our unity for that same goal. There's still a lot of training ahead, and I do hope all of you will learn a lot and grow at the same time while you are inside our Military Academy. The best training program in the world is absolutely worthless without the will to execute it properly, consistently, and with intensity. This four to five months training will transform you from being "boys" into "gentlemen" and "girls" into "ladies". It will instill in you the military doctrines, the Army tactics, and procedures that will mold you into reliable and responsive members of an Infantry squad, committed to accomplis.h.i.+ng the unit's missions," Field Marshal Chan announced.

"Your new journey just began. Finish the training and prove your worth to be part of our country's Army that upholds the virtues of the Armed forces of the Z Country and perform with pride and honor in serving the people and securing our land."

"Again, I congratulate and welcome you all!" Field Marshal Chan finished his speech before he handed the stage back to Lieutenant Long.

Hoorah!!!

Hoorah!!!

All the newly admitted members shouted in answer.

"Thank you so much for the warm welcome of our honorable Field Marshal Chan who I'm sure will scold the Generals who voted Yes for his only daughter. But don't worry because one of those Generals will receive a reward from that daughter herself," Lieutenant Long teased, which made the Main Hall fill with laughter.

Meanwhile, Zach blushed so hard due to embarra.s.sment because he knew it was him that Lieutenant Long was referring to while Jeru, who was seated next to Zach, darkened because of deep annoyance.

Lana shook her head as she looked at Keira's wicked aura...

"She will absolutely do something hilarious soon," May murmured, knowing well how her friend's mind worked.

"I agree with you. That's exactly her burning look that is about to burst out anytime soon. She'll definitely explode…" said Lana.

"Poor man, this night surely won't end without Keira accomplis.h.i.+ng doing something wicked." May finalized

"Hmmmp… You both, stop it. I have a different plan you know. I'll make sure that I'll keep every moves low for now." Keira who was just in between the two women exclaimed.

But half of it was true of course. Some of her ways might be wicked but what could she do? She really liked him and she did not want to let the opportunity before her eyes slip away like that when she knew that she had a great chance of achieving it.

She looked at Zach but quickly looked away since she noticed that Jeru kept on staring at her.

'The heck… Why do I feel like we are in a circle?' She mused when she suddenly felt alarmed at the thought that what Jeru was doing somehow was similar to what she was doing to Zach.
