The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782: Parade Crisis Management

To be fair, it wasn’t like they didn’t prepare anything for the parade.

They actually did.

They did their due diligence, studied past Annual Expo parades, and even consulted with former members of the famous Golden Phoenix Guild.

So they prepared their nine-person march.

The soundtrack for that.

And the flags they would have to wave really, really well.

They knew they had to compensate. After watching last year’s parade, it was obvious they wouldn’t be able to pull off the elaborate formations and synchronized waves the other guilds managed with solely their members. There were only nine of them, after all, while the rest had enough people to perform entire stunt routines.

Still, they were confident about speed and enthusiasm. They just had to work on synchronization and endurance because Ollie and Theo weren’t surviving past the halfway mark, while Princess Kira and Ada were spinning a little too fast, that they would sometimes lift off the ground

That was definitely unacceptable.

So even in the middle of their booth preparations, D-29 scheduled the mandatory practice for flagging because Butler Gary and Duke Leander had both been adamant that one basis for might was the guild members’ ability to spin, toss, and wave.

So they all attended practice.

Then again, how could they not, when Luca had once again overheard the soldiers talking about the importance of this year’s parade?

It was a chance at redemption and an opportunity to remind everyone that House Kyros still existed.

Luca felt responsible for representing his people. While he didn’t care so much about his image, it was another thing to drag the other members of their House, so he really wanted to do a great job.

Moreover, as his first interschool event, the young cadet could not possibly treat things lightly!

And it was the sentiment they had all taken to heart until the very last minute before the start of the parade.

But then they saw the first segment and everything imploded.

The moment several jets descended with a dramatic swoop, Sid knew they were fucked.

Sure, there had been a moment of denial. Maybe the Imperial military and the guards were not performing flagging because they obviously weren’t students.

But deep inside, the guardian mecha knew.

And sure enough, the dwarves zoomed in with their engines revving, and everything just came apart.

D-29 wailed like its internals were on fire, while Ollie kept wilting by the second.

Apparently, they needed an overhaul, and they needed it fast.

It was then that the little system practically rebooted and came back possessed.

When D-29 finished gathering everyone in the dungeon-linked space, the insane dictator decided that if it said jump, everyone would just jump.

Yes. They would not even ask "how high" because, apparently, there was no time for that, especially as more and more things became apparent to the system that had started crashing out.

D-29 was not having a good day.

From the very first steps of the enemy delegations, the little system had felt something inside it crack. The cadence. The rhythm. The unified stomping that made the air vibrate. It was already irritated.

Then came the aerial tricks. The expensive vehicles. The glittering trails of light that spelled money. The custom-made parade uniforms that practically screamed budget. The embroidered crests that twinkled in the sun with smug self-importance.

A marching band appeared.

D-29 twitched.

Daytime fireworks went off.

D-29 glitched.

Smoke cannons blasted dramatic plumes across the sky.

D-29 rebooted twice.

Confetti rained down like the universe had decided to sprinkle salt directly into its circuits.

D-29 practically convulsed.

Then the worst happened.

Someone on the enemy side released spiritual energy for visual effect.

That was the moment the little system understood: they were going to lose.

Lose.

Lose in public.

Lose in front of every living being with eyes.

Absolutely not.
