In the third military division headquarters, general Altan Ved Ishaan was walking down the corridor, headed to his office from a meeting.

  “Sergeant major, what do you think?”

  “I think, getting involved is unwise. In my opinion, the government shouldn’t be choosing sides in a war between sage-led organizations” the sergeant major answered.

  “Even Academies?”

  “Especially Academies, their association should take care of their squabbles.”

  The general didn’t answer when they reached the front of the his office and his secretary spoke up.

  “Director Amari called”

  “Thank you miss Batbayar, i will call her back. The vice chancellor of The University of Aniu-lang is on a plane headed here, I want you to personally pick him up. I understand your view but it is better things are done close enough that we can act to minimize damages, if need be.” The sergeant major nodded, saluted and turned to leave.

  “Ah, I almost forgot his name is Nobunaga.”

  ………………….

  ‘A sage was angry with him?’ he didn't expect that to happen when he left the general’s side this morning.

  Sergeant major Soham Sid sat behind the wheel, his hands tapping them anxiously, he stole glances at the back sit. The car had been relatively silent since they left the airport, after that display at the airport, the sage had continued to ignore his existence. Sid wasn’t sure what the other man was doing, since they had entered the car the man’s eyes had stayed shut. ‘the sage was angry with him’ just the thought was unbearable.

  “Nobunaga” the sage spoke “my time is up.” He finished and vanished.

  “You are Nobunaga?” Sid asked aloud

  Nobunaga nodded, then he smiled.

  “What? Surprised?”

  No! no, no…. A little” Nobunaga chuckled “you are the vice chancellor, then who is he?” Sergeant major Sid gestured to where the sage had been sitting

  “Professor Yoshiaki? What about him?”

  “Nothing….. we have reached.” Soham Sid said as he drove into the 3rd division headquarters and eased into a parking space.

  Soham Sid came out from his car and waited for Nobunaga. They walked together with Sid leading the way till they reached the general’s office.

  “Let’s go in” Sid said after a knock.

  The inside of general Altan’s office was sparkling, behind his desk had pictures of the current Generals in uniform, 9 pictures in total, Nobunaga had seen some, all this men were legends. Above them was the picture of the nation’s coat of arms, the golden red dragon of the east. On his desk were more personal photos, a younger General Altan with a woman and a child.

  “Sit” the man at the desk said.
