      You wake up every morning from the same night terrors, before all the other recruits. Getting dressed into black camo cargo pants with black combat boots and a sleeveless turtle neck compression shirt with neck gaiter. Before leaving your room to go to the mess hall you pull your somewhat long hair into a top knot leaving some hair down and wrap new bandages around your hands and up your arm, stopping before it gets to your elbows. You grunt in aggravation, feeling like today will suck as usual and finally leave your room. You yawn, pulling your mask away a bit before repositioning it.  As you were walking down the hall you heard the loud patter of multiple footsteps, causing you to turn around quickly only to be tackled to the ground by one of the military pups in training. He licked your face, making your mask all slobbery, you groan and chuckle, getting up and patting the pup on the head, he accompanied you to the mess hall. You sighed as you go into the room, feeling on edge like you're being watched. You continue going to the vending machine to get a snack, after grabbing it you turn around to see a large muscular man about three times your size standing right behind you holding the pup, looking down at you as he towers over you, causing you to jump back and put your back against the vending machine. "Ah- em, I'm sorry for startling you kleine maus. Your hund ran up to me and I didn't see anyone but you so I came to hand you him." You let out a breath and nodded, as you grabbed the pup from him, he flinched when you hand slid across his. You looked him up and down, "E-em what are you doing?" He asked, nervously scratching his neck. "Spar?"  You asked while pointing outside. 

    He was shocked by the request, "Y-you want to spar with me? But-" You grabbed his hand and dragged him along outside. Letting go you walked a bit further and got in a fighting stance, the large man sighed and taunted you with his hand as he got into position. You ran at him, he went to grab you but before he could you slid between his legs and swept them with your leg, making him fall, you grabbed his arm and jumped on top of his torso pinning him down while your knees were on his arms, you did a little celebration dance. He pushed up from the ground with his elbows, making you fall to the ground and quickly sat on your legs and restrained your arms behind your back with one hand. He leaned down, "You celebrated too soon maus, revenge is mine." He whispered to you, shivers were sent down your spine, he definitely killed people with ease. At that point multiple people had been watching the spar, they all clapped, one of the recruits walked up to you and put his arm over your shoulder, "Ai, sad loss for you Macabre, I thought you lived up to your name? No?" He said in a taunting manner. You scoffed and elbowed him in the gut causing him to fall to his knees, "And I thought you lived up to yours, but you always lose to me, 'Champion'." You said in aggravation, not used to losing, you huffed and walked away from the large man and the annoying recruit, the pup following happily behind you. 

   The large man looked at Champion who was just now getting up, "Is he mad at me or you.?" He asked the recruit, staring down at him, "Ai don't worry about it man, Macabre is always super serious but that was the first loss he's had in like, a year. He probably was actually excited to see your strength but he's not the best at expressing anything but anger or seriousness, but anyways what's your name?" He said, placing his arm over his stomach in a pinch of pain. "My name is Colonel König of KorTac." He said, making Champion nervous. "Ah- Sorry for treating you so casually sir.." He said with a nervous chuckle. König nodded and walked off to find the so called 'Macabre'. 

 ~Your POV~ 

   I stomped into the large lounge room and pouted on the couch, looking around to make sure nobody was that close to me. The pup jumped up into my lap, I sighed, "I can't believe I lost, like who does he think he is, it should be illegal to be that large, don't you agree, Tank."  Tank barked and did a small growl in an agreeing manner, his folded ears flopping around as his head moved. He bit at my mask and tugged it. "Ah ah, no Tank, you know better."  He whined and huffed and bit my hand softly. König entered the room, I quickly readjusted my mask back over my nose. Many of the recruits went silent when they saw him and stared at him, he looked around before noticing me and walked towards me, sitting next to me on the couch. "Hello again, Macabre, right? You fight very well, I bet you're very talented." He said, before I could do anything, a pair of hands reached onto my shoulders. "Oh he is very talented, Colonel, he never lost in a spar the whole time he was here, amazing at sniping, hand-to-hand combat, quite the savior in missions, the boy's like a god although he lacks the invincibility, the boy's got a shit ton of scars and bullet wounds almost everywhere, shows how many missions he's been on ay?" The captain explained, to the Colonel. I sat there embarrassed, it was like a parent bragging about how good their kid is to someone high in power. 

   König laughed and took the captain to the side to talk to her privately. I sighed and had just processed that the captain said Colonel, I treated the Colonel like just another recruit. I palmed my face, I may be full and proud of myself but I still respect rankings.
