The Mercury Alchemist

Chapter 11 - Jealousy's Day on the Field

A short chapter about Jealousy and her mishaps. Hope you enjoy!

Before Jealousy knew it, she was in-charge of her own group of soldiers as a high ranking officer. She stood in the side lines and watch and the Furher promotes her new teamates a rank higher. 'I shouldn't care about what happens to those crummy soldiers but-' Something interrupted her from her thoughts when she finally noticed the soldiers that lined up. 'Wait a minute! Why does that man have muscles but is very short!? That's not how military men should look like at all!' her thoughts scream at the sight of the first soldier. Indeed the man was short and barely had the stature of a normal person. but his build was so huge that it could rival the Strong Arm Alchemist! A second came up afterwards, he was no better than the other. 'He seems to be in good shape,' or so she thought. The minute he saluted at the Furher, the soldier turns around to show his different side to Jealousy.

The soldier turns his back to Jealousy's view only to show he's nearly as wobly as paper. 'He's too week! There's no way he can shoot a gun without collapsing! And what's with those clothes!? They look like an old uniform that can out of a thrift shop!' Jealousy was trying her best to contain her posture and not laugh, but others had already noticed her change of state. More soldiers came in one by one, all from different sizes. Jealousy was already leaning against the wall behind her, breathing heavily from so much laughter. 'I have to get out of here or else-' and her heart stopped at that very moment. Then the unexpected happened. A women of fine build comes up and salutes the Furher, ''It's an honor to be in your prescence Furher Bradley sir!" "At ease soldier," Wrath orders. He seemed pleased at how enthusiatic about the young woman. Jealousy wasn't a pleased, her squad had cosisted of two women (Jealousy and the female soldier) and the rest where men.

::Later::

"From this day foreward I will be your newly appointed commanding officer! As all of you know by now I am younger than all of you, but that doesn't mean my skills are to be questioned. Today I'll be examining your skills. If you have any questions please ask right now."

All the soldiers were sat in there seat quietly. One finally lifts his hand up and asks, "Why do we have to take orders from a girl who has to stand on a chair to look down on us?" The whole room roared with laughter. 'Damn humans... I have to put up with this?' Jealousy was about to say something when the female officer slams her fist onto the wooden table. "Shut up you low lifes! This girl is a GA (General of the Army) your talking to!" The sudden out burst caught everyone off guard, even Jealousy was at a lose of words. Jealousy got down from where she stood and walked towards the jokester that caused the commotion, the short muscle man. The two just glare at one another. In a flash, pointed rocks emerged from the ground and aim at the man, who was freaked out from the sight before him. Jealousy 'saved' the man by grabbing him by his collar and then threw him to the wall. Injured, the man looks up at Jealousy who was loaming over his weak state. All the others did was just stare at the sight in awe. "You wanna why?" Everyone tenses at the sudden change of tone.

"None of you (humans) have the right to question your superior! If anyone decides to question about my authority again all of you will end up like- What's your name?"

"Cardio...."

"End up like Cardio here. So I don't care if you have problem with all of this, but you better learn how to respect me!"

::The Next Day::

-Jealousy-

Father wanted to have a little chat with me today. "I hear you've made a name for yourself," was the first thing he said to me. I pretended that I didn't care and asked, "What do you mean old man?" "I think I heard 'General of the Arse'? Can you tell me what that means?" A vein popped out of the back of my head. 'Hate those bastard,' I thought.
