Chapter 321 Beginning a New Military Career

Erich awoke early the next morning. Just like in his previous life, he had neglected to show up to his "first day at the Naval Academy", and instead spent it at Yumi's hotel room. Of course, he was not so foolish enough as to post any record of their little dalliance on the grid.

As for Yumi, she treated Erich differently this time around. She did not simply kick him out in the morning without even saying farewell. Instead, she clung tightly to him as he prepared himself for the day that was ahead of him. Making sure to spend every moment she could in physical intimacy.

The Oni Matriarch had even gone out of her way to make Erich breakfast, which he enjoyed quite a bit... She looked at him with a far more curious gaze than she had done during their first encounter in her past life, before finally broaching the question on her mind.

"That stuff about you being a virgin... That was bullshit, right?"

Erich took a bite from the Oni style breakfast that Yumi had prepared from him and smirked before shaking his head. While assuring the woman that he had not lied to her.

"Technically, it was true... Last night was my first time... But it's a bit complicated. I wouldn't know where to begin to explain my skills at pleasing the opposite sex..."

Yumi simply smiled and nodded her head, not believing a word that Erich had said as she dug into her own breakfast, but not before making a snyde remark.

"Sure... Whatever you say..."

The two of them ate in awkward silence before Yumi finally broached the subject.

"So, are you on leave? Or did I keep you from your duties?"

Erich did not respond for some time, leaving the beautiful alien woman to pout, until finally he finished his meal and stood up abruptly. He began to head to the door, where he turned around just before leaving with a handsome grin on his face. nOve.lb-In

"I had a great time last night, your Majesty... But I'm afraid you have kept me from my responsibilities long enough... I'm sure that we will meet again soon enough, and I look froward too our little reunion when we do..."

After saying this, Erich pulled his coat off the rack and placed it over his shoulders before leaving the woman behind. Where she sighed heavily, before resting her dainty chin in the palm of her hand.

"Such a tease..."

Make no mistake, there is no record of this, and instead I have fabricated a background for you that makes it seem like you were a part of our failed project known by the code name Epsilon. To put it simply, Project Epsilon was a directive of Military Intelligence to raise young boys from childhood with the purpose of becoming WRAITHs. It was shut down earlier this year due to certain circumstances...

The point is, this backstory allows you to have the proper certifications and rank to begin your military career without wasting so much time and resources. The Supreme Leader has a gift for you...

Your father made it abundantly clear that a very specific AI should be assigned to you. And she is still a decade or two away from being wiped. I do not know the exact circumstances about why this is necessary. But your request has been granted. If you would please project my holographic projection so that Captain Henzler can receive my commands?"

Erich immediately did as requested and projected the Director's hologram to his subordinate. The woman quickly saluted the man, which he returned before giving her his orders.

"At ease Captain... I trust you have the requested item on hand?"

Katherine nodded her head and immediately held out a helmet that was designed for a set of MK II Power Armor where she handed it over to Erich. Once Erich had received the gift, the Director of Military Intelligence gave further orders to the female intelligence officer.

"That will be all for now Captain, allow me some privacy as I speak with the Lieutenant here..."

Once Katherine had left the room, and sealed the door behind her, the Director of Military Intelligence spoke with Erich once more.

"I hope this particular AI is as helpful in your goals as you believe she will be. Now for your orders... The first thing you must do after we are done here is undergo enhancements both to your NeuroLink, and your body... Because of your unique circumstances, your have been authorized to receive the highest level of enhancements. Far beyond the tier you had in your past life.

After you have been enhanced in accordance with the proper standards, you will report to the Citadel for your new assignment. The Supreme Leader's personal bodyguard is in need of a new member, and you have been selected for this duty. Do you understand your orders?"

It had been a long time since Erich had saluted anyone, but it was second nature to him, and thus he snapped to attention and saluted the Director of Military Intelligence while speaking in affirmation of his orders.

"Yes, Sir!"

The Director merely smiled and nodded his head before dismissing Erich.

"Good... With that said, you are dismissed.... I wish you all the luck in the universe in your endeavors Lieutenant... The entire existence of our great race rests in your hands..."

After saying this, the man hung up, leaving Erich alone with a set of Mk II Power Armor that contained Tia, or her primitive form in this life.
