Unusual world 55 No Choice

In building 13 room 146 is the office of Captain Tusk Pascal Rank 1 warrior and currently ground zero for a heated argument. The people walking in the halls often slowed down or stopped completely to listen in on what was happening inside.

"I refuse there is no way I'm doing that" furiously shouting at his higher ranking officer without any care for rank was Derek Foster Rank 2 archer and first lieutenant directly under captain Tusk.

He was dressed not in his military issued armor instead he had on a black and white military outfit with gold trim. Derek was furious after hearing what he was instructed to do by captain Tusk he knew the decision he made would potentially have major consequences, but what Captain Tusk told him to do was no better than a demotion.

"You must reconsider" Derek shouted with great force as he slammed his hand down on Captain Tusk's desk almost splitting it in half. Wood splinters flew out in every direction a few landed on Tusk's tan face as he looked at him with a stern expression completely unmoved by Derek's aggressive refusal.

"The decision is final you can refuse as much as you want, but it won't change the fact your in charge of training everyone you are assigned in your reserve unit. You will bring them to the peak of their potential, you will make them all reach the standards expected of the Delmar city guards, and you will comply or you can resign". Captain Tusk stood up and shouted those words so loud not a single person in earshot missed a syllable.

Captain Tusk pascal and first lieutenant Derek Foster had a stare down for a full minute before Derek turned around and stormed out the door which he slammed hard enough to break Tusk's wall.

With Derek gone captain Tusk slumped into his chair drained of all his energy. It wasn't long before he had a glass of alcohol in hand as he checked to see how fast he could finish off a glass.

While Tusk drunk his sorrows away a beautiful beast woman with cat ears and long black hair walked in wearing similar clothes to captain Tusk's and Derek's except her clothes had more medals of honor and another that Displayed her rank. She was Andrea Briggs Rank 2 archer and lieutenant cornel in the Delmar city guards.

She walked in with her hips swaying as if she was trying to seduce a person it took only a few steps before she was in front of Tusk who was still drinking in his chair.

"looks like that went well don't you agree"

Captain Tusk put down his drink and spoke politely to his superior officer "may I ask why did you make me do it rivalry or not you are a lieutenant cornel he would have had to listen to you".

"This problem he is causing is not that simple it would be if he just accepted a higher position befitting him as a rank 2 archer, but he is stubborn. We are a military, not a clan so the amount of favoritism we can show towards a person has to be minimal. Letting Derek stay under you as a first lieutenant so that he could work side by side with his friends is already as much favoritism as we are allowed to show.

But, as you know people don't like to see a lowly rank 1 bossing around a superior rank 2 it messes with the social construct our society has put in place. Derek is a very skilled soldier who skyrocketed in power than at the young age of 90 he reached rank 2.

He has a bright future and is very likely to reach rank 3 possible rank 4 if he is nurtured correctly many people want to see that. His refusal to not advanced further is respected because he has the strength of a rank 2, but since what he wants is causing so many problems I have to coerce him to change his decision since directly asking him isn't working I'm left with indirectly".

Captain Tusk knew what everything was all about he just wanted another way "So we are just going to keep sending him bad jobs to do until he either quits or caves in and accepts the promotion".

Andrea nodded giving Tusk all the confirmation he needed to know. Finished with what she had to say she left Tusk's office giving Captain Tusk the opportunity to finish the bottle of alcohol on his broken desk.
