《The French Conflict》Chapter 3: The Fresh Start

Advertisement

I feel myself waking up and make mental preparations.

I feel my eyes open and the first thing I see is a hospital room, kind of like the one in my ... vision?

Now when I think about it, what was that? Was it just a dream, or was it some kind of vision, I have no clue.

I'll have to figure it later. Should've asked her when I had the chance.

I try to look around the room and notice that I have a hard time moving around.

I quickly pinch my arm just in case. I turn my head right and notice one thing straight away, there's someone sleeping right by my arm.

I think it's the tall girl from before, now when I see her up close I can see the details of her. Blue hair to her shoulders, She has a school uniform. I didn't know there were such schools at the beginning of the 19th century. But this is alternate history, after all.

I guess anythings possible.

She turns around and I can see her face, she has a pretty cute face if I'm going to be honest here. She looks like she's around 17, only a year older than me.

But she is in the military, I thought it was only people who are 18 and up who get to be in the military.

I'm conflicted about if I should wake her up or just let it be.

Right when I thought that 4 other people entered the room. It was the rest of the squadron from before.

"Oh, you're awake!" One of the men said, all of them looked around the same age as the girl sleeping.

"Yeah. By the way, who are you guys?" I asked since I was curious, Why would they care so much about me. I'm just another soldier, right? I really hope I'm not some high ranked guy like the Austrian General.

"Oh, how rude of us. Let me introduce myself. My name is Maxime, nice to meet you. Come on you too." He said and turned to the other man, Maxime kind of looked like the typical popular and extraverted person.

Half long blond hair, a pretty face that all the ladies love. Well, I'm not one to judge by appearance so as long as he's a cool dude, it's fine.

"Oh, y-yeah. Hi, my name is Antoine. N-Nice to meet you." The man next to Maxime said shyly. Antoine looked like the "nerd" who wasn't that popular but still had his moments in the class, kind of a studios guy.

He had short black hair and was a little shorter than average. Are all of these people just easily inserted into a "type", what a weird world.

"I guess it's my turn next, teehee. My name is Camille, Nice to meetcha." The woman next to Antoine said. This was definitely a popular girl, Long blonde hair with pink highlights, a really good looking face, green eyes.

This girl had to be madly popular with the boys.

In that sense, I guess Camille and Maxime were alike.

"Hello, my name is Juliette. Nice to meet you." The last woman said to me. Juliette spoke in a very monotone voice and looked very tired, It kind of makes me concerned about her health. She had short silver hair and was average height.

"HEY! You introduce yourself too, sleepyhead!" Camille half-yelled and slapped the blue-haired girl in the head

"Ouch, what is happening?" She said and raised her head, she looked up and saw me and just stared for a good amount of time.

"eh, ah. Hi, my name is Charlotte, Nice to meet you!" She said and stood up. I said

"I guess it's only fair to introduce myself now. My name is" I have an issue here, should I make a pseudonym or should I use my real name?

To be safe, I guess I'll make a pseudonym.

"Hikari, My name's Hikari. I'm 16 years old, Nice to meet all of you. I'm guessing you guys carried me back while I was unconscious. So thank you very much, I mean it. Is there anything I can do to repay my debt?"

It was only natural for me to give them something in return for pretty much saving my life.

"No no no, it's fine. You don't have to do anything" Maxime responded

"Are you sure?" I counter-responded

"It's fine, really" Antoine said

"More importantly, You're only 16!? With your height, I would've thought you'd be the same age as us" Camille said with a surprised face.

"Yeah, a lot of people say I look a year older than what I am" I said while smiling.

"Oh, It's about time for the speech now. Can you walk, Hikari?" Juliette asked me

"Yes, I think I can" I said and tried to stand up, I succeeded and started walking.

"By the way, where are we right now?" While I asked that the others also started moving towards the door.

"We're at the national military high school in Paris" Charlotte answered.

That's interesting so we're at a high school. Does that mean that I'll also have to go here? Will I even continue to be in the military, I mean I'm only 16 years old.

Antoine opened the door and walked out and the others followed.

"MAXIME!!!!" Is the first thing I hear. What did I expect?

"Camille's there too!!!" a lot of people were screaming. Their popularity pissed me off a bit. we continued walking and I heard something that made me think

"Oh, it's the whole Squad 95!" More people were screaming. Squad 95? Who's that, is that what they called this squad. There were a lot of people standing here, Was "squad 95" this popular? After the hype had died down a little I started to hear some whispers

"Who's that kid with the Orange hair?" "Is he a new member?" "there's no way he's a member, he looks weak"

How rude. Well, there was some truth to it, I am pretty weak and have been for the majority of my life.

My hair wasn't even just Orange, I had Orange hair with Red highlights mostly around the front. My hair also covered my right eye.

Either way, it's time to go to the speech.

Hope I'll get to see Napoleon
