1938 February 13th
As I was assigned my platoon the one who did looked at me with a sneer and mumbled "Women don't belong in the military hump" after looking at me one last time.
I pretend I didn't hear but I did I got used to this after volunteering for my fatherland magic officer academy I believe everyone should be able to serve their fatherland no matter the gender
, in the male-centric society of 1938, imperial Dutchland women are discriminated against but the emperor allowed women into the military with the 1935 reforms because of rising tensions with other countries
it was met with opposition at first but the emperor's words are final .as it's my noble duty to serve my fatherland as a baroness rank noble so as soon as I turned 18 I joined the magic officer academy,
I'm grateful to the emperor for giving women a chance to serve but the discrimination is high they only have female-only units, because we're told we will only get in the way of our male peers
which is sad because we all stand under one flag the imperial Dutchland flag which I'm proud to bear.
Tomorrow I get to meet my platoon as it's going to be my first time leading I'm nervous about who my future sisters in arms will be while I know their names and rank that's all I know...
Time skip 1938 February 14th
While it's valentines day there's no time to celebrate it and even if there were I got no valentine I think while heading towards the destination my platoon is at.
As I get there I see 20 women gossiping as I try to get their attention I start by saying with my soft and high-pitched voice "attention!"
While I did get a few women's attention that was it so I try harder and yell "attention!!" That got all of their attention,
I start by getting everyone's names and rank "second lieutenant, Anna Siegfried!" And a cute woman yells "here!" She's my adjacent and vice leader of my platoon huh...,
then I start yelling the other woman's names "Lance corporeal Maria..." after saying all their names I decided to do a team-building exercise "who wants to play magic ball?" And they all yell almost at the same time "me!"×20.
Magic ball is very popular in elfin society it's where you use gravity and wind magic to fly while hitting a ball with your body as we head out into a field nearby on the military base as we do it appears there's some other
platoon here full of women deciding that it'll be a good experience for my squad I ask the leading officer "would it be okay if my unit would go against your unit first lieutenant...?" And the person I asked immediately gets an understanding of
why I wanted to do so because she was in the same predicament "yes and I'm first lieutenant Theodora rose" as she says so I cutely smile while saying "and I'm first lieutenant Sylvia von Crowly so... we'll both be referee and coaches for our team right?"
And she nods "yeah" as we get the game going I assign positions to the girls "second lieutenant Anna Siegfried you'll be the captain...Lance corporal Marie you'll be goalie..."
after I was done doing that the game started and immediately the ball is hit hard by second lieutenant Anna Siegfried and just as it was about to go in the goal it was blocked by private first-class Rita.
before long both sides were getting scores we were leading by one point when the game ended, Anna was smiling while gossiping with the other girls which I found cute "and did you see what happened when I hit it at the end hehe"
I found second lieutenant Anna is very good with her magic control even though women naturally are better at control she was almost as good as me which means she's Talented too as I was thinking this
I was talking to first lieutenant rose "your team did good out there first lieutenant rose we almost had a tie" that day a healthy rivalry relationship was born between the two commanders
(3rd p.o.v)
While they were playing magic ball this didn't go unnoticed by Sylvia's male peers who were looking at this scene with sneers the leader of these men is captain Eric von shodinber
"we would be able to do a whole lot better right boys?" And a man who goes by William kemp says"ya boss woman belong in the kitchen haha"
that gets the group of men laughing as they were walking away Captain Shodinber looks back one more time with disdain and whispers "go back to your kitchens humph..."
Hm… is this a fanfic or an original story. If this is an original story, you might want to give more background for this first chapter. for this first chapter. Yes, I can tell exactly which series you took inspiration from but you should at least change your names so that fans of Tanya the evil don't get confused.
Original story! But as you can probably tell im new to writing so your advice is appreciated.
@Nihilism In that case you might want to change the names of your characters, make a prologue or something to explain what is happening, give a better description of this supposed father land, put in some world building and some character quirks. The reason why Tanya for Tanya the Evil works is because of her character itself and how she solves and interacts with the natives. While a fanfic staring a side character in Tanya the Evil might work, a recreation with a different main character might not. A world war 2 world is generally something that isn’t very interesting to young adults, who read on scribblehub. So, unless your character gets more interesting or your world itself is different from Tanya the Evil, you story may not do well. Either way, good luck writing this story. Interesting concept.
I named Tanya in respect of that Tanya but now that you mentioned it I made a rookie mistake!
@Nihilism Yes, rebranding is also important. Tanya is known to be a psychopath with mental problems, your Tanya seems like the opposite.
@EthanPeh it is because in this world theirs summoned heroes and stuff, I also try not to info dump because I hate info dumps and i try to maintain the mystery box,.but... should I make a chapter that gives details about the world? Such as how the world is 2× bigger than earth.
