I was bored so I made a secret organization

After following her guide for a while, Naomi noticed once again that the Military Base was big and complex.

They had turned a few times in an intersection, all seemingly random and without any pattern. If she had tried to try to find her father alone, she might have been lost for a few hours.

‘Good thing I managed to threa- ask someone to guide me.’ Naomi thought as she walked beside Eric.

Eric was somehow nervous. He kept looking at Naomi and the road alternatively, and Naomi noticed that.

“What’s wrong?” She asked.

“Ah, I-it’s nothing.” Eric immediately waved his hands.

“There is no way it is nothing. You kept stealing a glance at me a few times. What is it?”

“Um, well… It’s just… I never thought that I would be able to meet you, Lieutenant-General.” He smiled wryly. “You have been like some sort of Idol for us in the military since Major Tetsuma bragged about you a few times. And also, we were finally able to see your real power when you stopped those Nukes! So you have a lot of fans in this base!”

“Hmm?” Naomi looked at Eric confusedly. She had a lot of fans in the Military base?

Then she tried to look around. They had passed the barrack area and were now entering some office building area. Fewer soldiers were standing in front of the buildings compared to when they were in the barrack area, but… All of them were looking at Naomi while smiling, and some of them saluted her.

Her appearance had already changed from when she was in a press conference, but it seemed like they recognized her, unlike the soldier who guarded the entrance.

But that was strange. Too many people recognized her. So, she had some suspicion.

“Private. Let me ask you something.” Naomi asked Eric with a cold tone.

Hearing it, Eric’s body tensed as he slowly turned to Naomi. “Y-Yes?!”

“Is there something that the people in this base shared together? Like… a group chat, for example.”

As Naomi asked that, Eric’s body jolted a little, and his smile froze. He even stopped on his track while trying to look away from Naomi, seemingly guilty of something.

“You have one, right?” Naomi pressured as she grinned.

Then, that explained why many people in the base recognized her. It just needed one person to post her picture to the group chat among the Military men to spread her identity.

While they recognized her now, thanks to the picture shared in their group chat; she felt strange getting her picture taken without permission.

But, as long as the picture was not spread anywhere else, Naomi actually didn’t really mind it. She just wanted to enjoy some freedom that she got from her new appearance a bit longer.

“Don’t worry about it. I am not mad, just… Don’t spread it anywhere. If I found out that one of my pictures got leaked alongside my identity…”

Naomi clenched her fist as she raised it in front of Eric’s face. “You know what I will do, Private.”

“Y-Yes! I will tell them clearly, Lieutenant-General!”

“Good.” Naomi nodded with a sweet smile. “Now then, let’s visit Major Tetsuma. Do you know what he usually does in the Military Base?” She asked.

“Major Tetsuma is in charge of training the Espers. I believe he’s in the training ground for now.”

“Hmm… training, huh?” Naomi’s lips curled into an excited grin. “I guess I can join it.”

***

In the First Military Base's main training ground that was located in the center of the base, Tetsuma was crossing his arms as he looked at twenty trainee Espers, 16 men and 4 women, sparring against each other one against one.

The training ground was built outside to avoid some damage caused by the spar. It allowed the Espers to utilize their ability freely without fearing they would cause some damage to the building.

For that reason, the nearest building to the training ground was a fitting room built 100 meters from the edge of the training ground.

When he was watching the trainee, his holo phone suddenly rang with a unique sound that he set for the Military Group Chat. It was a group chat where the Military Men joined all together, and messages were only allowed to be sent if there was an emergency or some important information.

Knowing that the message was usually important, Tetsuma took out his holo phone and opened the group chat.

When he read what was sent in the group chat, he was surprised to the point his calm and serious expression got softened into a soft smile as well as a surprise.

Unexpectedly, the message sent to the group chat was two images and a sentence sent by the entrance guard. One image was a Bugatti car that was familiar to him, and the other was a girl who drove the car being stopped by the entrance guard. Under the two pictures, a message that said ‘Lieutenant-General Akasa Naomi come to visit’ was written.

‘Why is Naomi here?’ Tetsuma thought. ‘Did she miss me?’

No matter what, his daughter had come to visit. Whether she had some plan for visiting the military base or she just visited the base to see him, he was happy that she stopped by the base.

He looked at the trainees who sparred while throwing their abilities around. One trainee threw a fireball toward her opponent, while the other blocked the said fireball by screaming at it, dispersing it into thin air.

The other trainees also used their unique abilities as Esper to try to take their sparring opponent down.

Tetsuma felt like they were doing great, but it was still not enough. They would only be cannon fodders at that level if they were sent to a War against the Esper Association. The Public Defender from the Esper Association was trained strictly; they were strong.

But, the problem was that the trainees in front of him were considered strong for their young age of 20. They were proud of their power.

Pride was one thing that one should throw away on a battlefield. They were useless. And, to break their pride, Tetsuma had already planned something.

‘Let’s have Naomi tame them.’
