There are always those idiots. The ones who confess to their peers and then run off to join the military when rejected.

Honestly, it just doesn't make sense. It's not like they were in a relationship and got dumped, so why take it so seriously?

And to top it off, enlisting right after starting the academy because of a rejection? What a complete idiot.

'But that idiot is me! Fuck!'

[Sorry, Karl. You're a nice guy and all, but I just don't see you that way.]

In the past, he managed to confess and got rejected within a month of starting the academy. And it happened in front of everyone, too.

What kind of confidence did he have back then? Did someone spike his lunch with drugs or something?

[I'm really sorry. I hope I didn't make things awkward for you.]

Then there was the male ego again; he simply said, "Okay!" and walked away.

And then? He immediately applied for a leave of absence. Just a month after starting the academy. Crazy bastard.

But the next part is even more legendary. He suddenly applied for military service without telling his family.

It's funny enough when a noble voluntarily enlists, not even as an officer but as a regular soldier.

Even up to this point, it was already a ridiculous mess, but what happened next was truly incredible.

His enlistment into the military was accepted with a 'Oh, look at that!' at the Empire's Ministry of Council.

-A noble who volunteered as a private? This has to have some juicy story behind it, right?!

A noble scion setting an example by enlisting as a soldier!

This is the class of the Empire! Huh?! Do you see it, you bunch of maggots?!

...Admittedly, it was a topic that could turn heads in the news department.

Anyway, that's how I went from being a high-ranking noble to a lowly soldier.

Naturally, from the first day I moved into the unit, I was met with glares and suspicion.

"Ah, fuck. We were happy when we heard a new recruit was coming, but they sent a noble?"

"Hey. Is this possibly an officer transferred in disguise?"

"Seriously, a shitty recruit had to join us at the end of our military service."

And before even getting to know the names of my seniors, war broke out and I was immediately deployed to the battlefield. And there I was, rolling in the mud like a dog, enduring three years of hell.

I really wanted to strangle that past me if I could. Ah, why do I keep using the term 'past me'?

After getting hit by a magical bombardment and flying away, I hit my head on a rock, and that's when memories of my past life came flooding back.

The me from my past life was just a guy living on Earth, and this world is the setting of the books I used to read back then.

'But of all things, it just had to be a shitty web novel, not even a classic or sci-fi.'
