and then Shulmanu would attempt to punch Nabamu out of rage, but Nabamu quickly dodged and looked scared
Nabamu: "Relax! its just a game!"
after hearing that, Shulmanu got even more angrier and tried to hit him again
Shulmanu: "easy for a cheater like you to say! you will pay for this!"
in the bed in the corner, Sitrum would be reading his book and than hear them arguing, after seeing them arguing, he tried no laugh, meanwhile they were still fighting, he couldnt hold it in and laughed a little, Shulmanu still angry looked at sitrum while he was reading book and angrily said
Shulmanu: "What are you laughing at!"
after saying that, he looked back at Nabamu, trying to attack him again, but Nabamu each time barely dodged
Nabamu: "Alright im sorry! ill stop!"
right before Shulmanu would charge a strong punch, it would be inches away from Nabamu's face before a commander opened the door and told them
Commander Kuduru: "Stop all this commotion, its lunch break, get ready, training is an hour after it"
he said before walking away, leaving the door open for them
Shulmanu: "You are a lucky its lunch break, or i would have literally killed you Nabamu"
after they all walked from the hallway to lunch, Shulmanu now a little calmed down, but Nabamu still scared what was gonna happen after lunch break was over, all 3 of them arrived to the kantine and found a place to sit, after they saw what they got served, they looked very dissapointed
Shulmanu: "First Nabamu cheats in chess, and now they give us the worst lunch i have ever seen?!"
he said before angrily hitting the table they were eating on
Nabamu: "Better than nothing i guess.."
he said, taking small bites of his food each time, trying to stop himself from puking all the food out, but than another soldier approached them, he asked them
Rimush: "Can i eat here? my dorm mates are the most people guys you will beat, they only talk about becoming farmers and boring farmer shit"
Shulmanu: "Sure, anything is better than this damn cheater!"
Shulmanu said, still a little angry because of the lunch and chess matches that happened
Nabamu: "Soo.. what's your name??"
Rimush: "My name is Rimush"
Nabamu: "oh, so like the akkadian emperor?"
Rimush smiled and excitedly answered
Rimush: "Exactly! one day i will have power stronger than he ever had!"
he said pridefully, his tone of voice showing he had a lot of belief that he would make it in the future
Shulmanu: "You sure are confident"
Shulmanu said eating the food they got given
Rimush: "that isn't a bad thing in my opinion"
he said, his tone still confident, and than he glanced Sitrum and looked confused
Rimush: "Why does he have a helmet on? is he socially awkward or something?"
Nabamu: "Don't know, he has had this helmet on since we met him, he wont speak either, we don't know what's wrong with him"
Shulmanu with a hint of annoyance would defend Sitrum, saying
Shulmanu: "Don't try bullying him over it either, or you will have to go through me"
after that, there would be a silence, right before Shulmanu was about to say something, it became time for training
Shulmanu: "What the hell?.. a hour passed already?"
Rimush: "I guess, lets go now, i think we are supposed to show how strong, fast and smart we are"
Shulmanu and Nabamu smiled at the same time and said
Shulmanu and Nabamu: "This is gonna be easy!"
all 4 of them walked to the room to get their strength, speed and IQ tested, Rimush got forced to do it with his own dorm mates.
Commander Sillamu: "Rimush, go to your own dorm mates"
Rimush: "Unfair! my dorm mates are boring as hell and cant stop talking about "Becoming farmers in the future" "
Commander Sillamu: "And that is not my problem either, your dorm mates are your dorm mates, even if they have the brain for a 10 year old!"
Rimush: "Ugh fine, see ya guys"
Rimush said before walking to his dorm mates annoyed
Each dorm would be assigned a commander to test their physical and mental ability, they began with the physical test, where Shulmanu did amazing, beating the best test in history because of his godly strength
Commander Marudu: "Impressive Shulmanu... very impressive actually, i think you might have gotten a world record or something.. "
Shulmanu: "Thanks a lot sir!
Commander Marudu: "You are up next Nabamu
Nabamu would get the basic results of a soldier his age
Commander Marudu: "Well done, now you're turn, Sitrum"
Sitrum would do badly for a man of their age, Marudu who didn't want to be rude to Sitrum said
Marudu: "Good enough Sitrum, you will improve a lot i see"
after the physical test, it would be time for the IQ test, Nabamu looked excited for it, Nabamu completed the test before every other soldier, handing it confidently in, the next out of the 3 of them would be Sitrum who handed his test in, and than Shulmanu
when it became time to see what they got, Nabamu did great, having one of the best ever, Sitrum had above average results and Shulmanu didbadly
Shulmanu: "What the fuck is this bullshit! this is rigged! I know it is!"
Nabamu: "Don't complain like a baby, you didn't see Sitrum complaining when he did bad on his physical result did you?"
after the test, they all went back to their dorms and had all the time in the world to do what they wanted until the next day where the real training would come, for the rest of the day, they played the royal game of UR or read books with Sitrum
after it turned night, everyone got ready to go to sleep, the next day, Shulmanu woke up and saw both his dorm mates not on their beds, he thought he was late for training quickly got out of his dorm, but then heard screaming, like someone was being killed, he went to check it out and saw Sitrum without his mask, but he wasn't a man or woman, it was a Rabisu eating another Babylonian soldier, when Sitrum saw Shulmanu it charged towards it but when it was inches from his face
Shulmanu woke up and realized it was just a nightmare, when he looked at the clock it was 5 am, 1 hours before they should've actually woken up, Shulmanu couldn't stop thinking of the nightmare he had about sitrum, he tried ignoring it and tried going back to sleeping but couldn't, he couldn't stop himself and he quietly walked towards Sitrums bed and slowly took of his mask, when he fully took it off he was shocked to see that...
