Link's adventure

Chapter five: Training Begins

    I rushed to the training grounds. As soon as Neville saw he ran to me and told me I was late.

    "You're late soldier!" Neville shouted.

    "I'm sorry sir," I apologized.

    "Whatever," he said. "I'll let you go today but the next time your late no breakfast for you, got that?"

    I nodded.

    "Alright," he continued then as I about to go in formation of the other new soldiers, the chief put his hand on my chest and said, "Troops! ATTENTION!" As expected, they followed. "This here is our newest troop, Link! Now I don't want you to make fun of him because he is smaller than you. I want you treat him how you treat each other, got that?"

    "Sir, yes sir!" Replied the troops.

    "Okay Link, go to the fourth platoon. That will be your new 'family'" he said with a chuckle.

    I nodded and ran to the fourth platoon.

    They welcomed me and said.

    "Welcome, Link!" One said as they waved.

    "Umm, Hi?" I said shyly. "My name is Link, what is yo-"

    "ATTENTION!!" Neville interrupted. "We will have our breakfast shortly. I will call you back when it's ready. For now you are all dismissed!"

    "Sir, yes, sir!

    Right after we were dismissed my new platoon approached me.

    "What were you saying?" Said the soldier who I was talking to earlier.

    "Oh I'm sorry. I was asking what your name was." I said.

    "Frank's the name," he said as he shook my hand. "Pleased to meet ya!" He gestured to other five people in the platoon.

    He introduced me to a curly haired man. "This is Edward but he goes by Ed. He is nineteen years old. So am I," he said with a chuckle.

    " 'ello mate!" Said Ed.

    "Uhh, hi. Nice too meet you," I said as patted me at the back.

    "This is Gary," Frank said as he pointed over to an eighteen year old guy with brown hair.

    "Yo Link. How's it goin?" He said sleepily. (We were all seated on a long bench. Maybe I forgot to mention that)

    "This right here is Kirito," Said Frank. He pointed to a black haired, friendly looking teen. "He is our medic. Every platoon has one,"

    "Hi there, Link!" Said Kirito.

    "Hi," I said. Out of my curiosity I asked, "How old are you?"

    "Eighteen," answered Kirito.

    "This is Bruce," Frank said pointing to a bald guy.

    As me and Bruce exchanged our greetings, I noticed his expression looked a bit...sad.

    "What's wrong?' I asked.

    "Its nothing," He answered.

    I assumed everything was alright. I took once last glance at him as Frank introduced me to the last person.

    "Link," said Frank. "I want to introduce you to our leader, Cedric."

    He pointed to a silver haired guy whose arms were crossed and eyes were closed.
