The Medallion

"I'm glad you understand. The Commander in Chief told me that you would be transferred to the Supreme Headquarters when you get promoted to a Frontline Commander. Behave yourself. Don't act like a punk. Your actions will reflect on the reputation of the northeast military camp," Marin said seriously.

"Do I act like a punk? A handsome punk, though, right?!" Rocky said jokingly.

Sue, who stood close by, couldn't help but chuckle so she tightly covered her mouth with her hands.

Marin rolled her eyes at Rocky and hummed as if she was so bored. Then she turned away.

"Sue, please take care of Uriah," Rocky said as he went after Marin.

Rocky soon arrived at the training field of the headquarters with Marin. Thousands of people lined up in the seats as they eagerly awaited the start of the ceremony.

A flag with "Crimson" and a glorious dragon embroidered in the middle was erected on stage. Lance sat in the middle of the stage. The Commanders and the officers of the Crimson Dragon Group stood on both sides of Lance.

The six Deputy Commanders, including Dunn, who were qualified for the second round were also present.

Strangely, Isis was nowhere to be found.

Rocky and Marin's arrival created a ripple effect on the people who were present. Heads turned towards their direction and everyone's eyes watched their every move. Whispered conversations went on as they walked.

Rocky brilliantly turned the battle from a disadvantaged position to finally defeat Dunn whose power was at least a grade higher than his during the last round of the competition yesterday. People still talked about his victory a day after and likely even in the days to come. They admired him for his unflinching courage and unswerving determination. But only Rocky and Dunn knew the entire truth. It appeared that Dunn hadn't told anyone that Rocky actually reached the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage. If he told anyone, it would create a stir in the headquarters.
