What do they all have in common?
They're all war heroes of the Empire.
They're the legendary soldiers spanning three generations of the Reinhardt family.
And—
"Yo, Richi. Can't you seriously hook me up with just one spot?"
"You got early-onset dementia or something? I told you five minutes ago. No."
"Ah, come on! It's you, of all people! The second son of the Reinhardt family! Richi Reinhardt!"
They're all my family—my grandfather, father, and older brother.
"Fuck off. I'm not even in the military—just some academy student. What spot am I supposed to make for you? Please, just get lost."
If I really wanted to be a soldier, I would've enlisted straight into the army instead of coming to the academy.
It was bad enough getting possessed on my discharge day, but now they want me to go back to eating military rations?
Even Satan would apologize and say, "Yeah, that's a bit much."
"You're really not gonna join the military? You, of all people? From the Reinhardt family? The Empire's war hero dynasty!"
"No."
"Liar. Word on the street is you'll graduate the academy and get commissioned as an officer right away. They say you'll become a war hero just like the Supreme Commander or your brother!"
This fucking bullshit.
"Who the hell said that?"
"Eek."
I grabbed the bastard by the collar and shook him like a maniac. Who told you that? Spill it right now!
"Who?! Who the fuck said it?!"
"Everyone at the academy's saying it! What am I supposed to do about thaaat?!"
"I'm not doing it! I'm not! No war hero bullshit!"
I'm not! Hell, I can't! How the fuck am I supposed to pull that off?! You goddamn assholes!!
