Recap
Last time I wrote in this series, I went over the main Protagonist's backstory (Gunther Crest) and he was about to be promoted from Vice Admiral to Admiral.
As he got ready to have the ceremony, his mind flashed to his family and friends who had supported him through this entire journey. This was his big moment. He originally joined the Grand Navy to support his sister in her studies as a magic historian and to avenge his parents who were brutally murdered by a pirate on their home island. After arresting so many pirates, he had achieved the highest rank possible other than fleet admiral.
He walked outside and breathed in the fresh sea air “It’s finally here” he thought.
He walked over to his favorite café, the bubbling cauldron. He ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and an espresso and waited for someone to bring it to his seat. A cute waiter walked over with his food and before she walked away, he winked at her (cringe I know, it will come up later anyway oh and also, Gunther is supposed have be the most Chad personality ever so it might be kinda strange) and she blushed and walked away. He devours his food, places his payment and his tip on the table and walks out the door. He walks over to the ceremony area where some lower ranks are being promoted and celebrating with their families. Two more ceremonies pass and it’s finally his turn. As he walks up to the podium, he is saluted by the lower ranks there and the head of ceremonies, Vance walks up to him and is about to pin his 4th star on his uniform when- BOOOOM! The sound of cannons roar. Pirates are raiding (Insert Grand Navy Base Name Here) Island! “Shit.” He says as he materializes his magic cutlass and shield in his hands and runs to fight.
