Chapter 302: Geneva Conventions.

"Two more? It's been quite the week down here, hasn't it? You seem to bring another one every single night. Lock them up and put them in a cell. We will make sure that they don't get any food all night." One of the muscular mask-wearing men said with a sadistic tone. He seemed to find pleasure in locking people up.

​​

"Yeah, you would be surprised how many of them have started to be disrespectful towards me lately. I guess it's newfound confidence since there are tensions of war." The bloody sergeant said with a smile as he looked at both Haru and Private Orin.

"It's not funny now you're in the dungeons, is it?" He asked and then pushed Haru's shoulder.

'What the fuck? I didn't sign up to the army to be put in a dungeon. I'm not dealing with this shit. I'm going to talk to Major Samson. I bet he will be understanding.' Haru thought to himself as The bloody sergeant failed to move him even an inch after shoving him.

"Still being defiant, huh? Let's see what a night in the dungeons does to you." The bloody sergeant said before pulling out two sets of handcuffs and then approaching Haru.

"Okay, now hold out your hands." He demanded as he opened up the handcuffs.

Both Haru and Orin looked at each other and didn't move.

"If you want to cuff anyone, then cuff yourself, you old freak. I'm not into your weird fetishes. I'm going back to my room. What about you, Orin? Are you going to stick around for this guy's weird kinks?" Haru finally had enough and sighed before turning his head to Orin after remembering that he had a collar restricting his magic power.

"Don't talk to me like we're friends. But I agree, I'm tired of this." Orin muttered once again. He lifted his head slightly to look at Haru and then lowered it.

"You still want to be defiant!? Hold out your hands right now! That's an order from a superior officer!" The bloody sergeant shouted out as the other two men looked at each other, not knowing what to do since it was the first time they had seen anyone refuse to be imprisoned.

The bloody sergeant held out his hand and began to activate a spell to restrain both Haru and Orin, but Haru sucked out the Qi from his attack as soon as he did.

"Huh?!" The bloody sergeant asked as his spell refused to activate. He thought that he was going crazy, but he quickly remembered that the room they were in restricted the use of magic to stop prisoners from running away. He then looked to the two men for help.

"Restrain both of them for me. Don't let them leave!" He yelled out as Haru took a few steps towards the entrance.

"Yes, sir!" They shouted out in unison before running to apprehend Haru and Orin.

'Idiots.' Haru thought to himself while using his spiritual sense to make sure that they couldn't sneak upon him. He felt as their feet hammered against the floor as they tried to catch up.

But as one of them reached out towards him, Haru quickly turned and punched him in the stomach. The man's eyes opened wide as all of the air escaped his lungs before his body left the ground and was sent hurling through the room and struck the wall behind him.

A loud bang shook the room as dust circled the room as The sergeant and other guard stopped what they were doing and took a step back as they looked at Haru with shocked expressions.

"I don't care about your rank. I was trying to be respectful, but you picked a fight with me for no reason at all. If you read my file, you would find your actions today were very foolish." Haru said with a sigh as he looked at the sergeant.

"You think I'm foolish? Explain how. What's so good about your file?" The sergeant asked for an explanation. To him, he was just doing his job and punishing insubordinate soldiers. He didn't understand how it was foolish at all.

"Do you know what my name is?" Haru asked with a smug look on his face, knowing what was about to happen.

"Yes, It's Haru Kitagawa, right? Major Samson informed me of you being assigned to my unit." The sergeant said with a look of confusion. He didn't understand exactly what was happening. But he did know that the punch Haru gave to the guard was powerful, but that was to be expected of a body enhancing mage.

Upon hearing what the sergeant said, the guard flinched with a gasp before taking a step back. He seemed to have realised something that the sergeant didn't and began to feel nervous.

"Ha, it looks like your friend is a little smarter than you are." Haru laughed slightly upon seeing the reaction. Orin, on the other hand, had the same reaction as the sergeant. He was confused and had no clue at all as to what was going on.

"Teik, What is it? Do you know something that I don't?" The sergeant enquired about what the guard had noticed, but the guard seemed too shaken to respond.

"If you are having trouble, Then try saying my surname but slower." Haru laughed before turning away and taking another step towards the stairs.

"Kitagawa…" The sergeant repeated as Haru continued to walk back up the stairs along with Orin, now that the sergeant knew he couldn't push them around as simply as he thought he could. But just as they reached the surface, they both turned back after hearing a scream come from within the dungeon.

"Fuck! WHAT DID I DO!?" The sergeant screamed loudly as he, too, recognised Haru's name and began to repent immediately.

Orin wasn't one to ask questions, but even he repeated Haru's name over and over in his head, trying to come up with an explanation as to why the guard reacted how he did with just the mention of his name. But he came up empty. He couldn't conclude why they became so scared.

But since he wasn't the talkative type, he remained silent and didn't ask. He was good at doing that, and that was what he stuck to.

Haru and Orin walked back to the main building in the pouring rain. But they had different destinations. Orin wanted to go back to his bed and sleep, but he had decided to speak with Major Samson about what had happened as for Haru.

There was no way that he was going to stand by and do nothing about it. They had admitted they were starving soldiers as a punishment. That was inhumane and went against the Geneva conventions. If anyone found out, then the Major would get into a lot of trouble for allowing it to happen at his base, whether he knew about it or not.

'I can try to suppress it. But I can't deny the fact that I wanted to kill all three of them for how they were acting just now. But that would turn the army against me. I guess I should just bring it to their attention the right way.' Haru thought as he felt the urge to murder the sergeant and the two guards when they tried to restrain him. He didn't do anything worth imprisonment, yet they still wanted to starve him.

He sighed before knocking on the door to Major Samson's office after seeing there was still a light flickering within.

"Come in," Major Samson shouted out.

Haru opened the door and walked in to find that he was still sitting behind his desk and working on a laptop. He looked a little busy given the fact that he had yet to look up from his desk to see Haru standing there, but as he did, there was a surprised look on his face.

"Private Kitagawa? I didn't expect you would come and see me. What can I do for you?" He asked with a look of worry. It wasn't every day that a Private would go to the Major's office for something.

Upon being greeted by Major Samson, Haru sighed and took a seat at the desk, dropping the respectfulness he had shown earlier. He was in no mood to put on an act and wanted to see the sergeant punished for his actions.

Major Samson hesitated to ask what had happened as he looked at Haru since he sensed that something was off. To him, it seemed like he was no longer looking at a young man but, in fact, an old war veteran who had killed hundreds of people before.

He had the vague sense that something had happened and Haru had killed someone and felt afraid to ask what had happened just in case it was true, but his duties as a soldier didn't let him sit silently. He pushed himself to ask, and as Haru explained everything, he took a deep breath and sat back in his seat.

"I will deal with it." Major Samson said with a sigh before standing up from his chair. He looked at Haru and nodded his head with acknowledgement before holding out his arm and opening up a spatial rift and vanishing within it.
