“This is exciting!” Xylan said, commenting on the announcement with a happy smile.

“This is so exciting!” Xylan repeated as he turned to his older sister who was glaring at him.

Xylan's smile disappeared instantly.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Xyan asked, somewhat confused.

Rowena gritted her teeth and held her younger brother's arm, asking Xylan to come closer to her with her fingers.

Xylan questioningly obeyed his sister by slightly lowering his head and then putting his right ear to hear Rowena speak.

“Are you crazy?” Rowena said in such a loud tone that Xylan had to move his ear away from Rowena.

Xylan suddenly covered his ears and looked at his older sister, “Why did you do that?”

“Because you seem to have gone crazy like General Reece who chose Riley to compete with James Gardner. Oh, my gosh! Seriously!”

The young girl bit her teeth in annoyance, “What were they thinking exactly? Why can't just one of them be the candidate? Why does it have to be both of them?”

    Riley gritted his teeth, “You want to throw away a great opportunity like this? You've lost your mind, huh?”James shrugged, “It won't be fun if there's no opponent equal to me.”“You're ....”“We don't have much time, decide quickly!” James urged. Riley exhaled harshly, looking so very annoyed at his friend's obvious stubbornness. Riley understood James' character very well. The young man was not one to lick his own wounds. He was sure James would actually do what he said.Alen himself was not worried about the matter because he was very sure that James would definitely get what he wanted and it was clear that James' wishes were the same as his. So, he just had to wait without interfering.He saw Riley's gaze start to give up. The next few seconds he moved to move forward to James' side, then whispered in annoyance, “I swear I'll kick your leg until it breaks later.”James just smiled happily, “That's if you can do it.”Riley rolled his eyes lazily, annoyed to death at his friend.

    Instead of answering Shin's question, Riley suddenly threw an annoyed look at James who pretended not to look at her.Instead, Alen Smith took his friend's place and said, “There's something he's been thinking about but ... it's no big deal. Now he's officially a candidate for war general.”Ben nodded in agreement, “Wow! I still can't believe it. You two will compete to be my leader.”“Your leader, senior?” James said with a frown on his forehead.“General War is the supreme leader of all troops, he can only be commanded by the king. Of course he's my leader,” Ben explained.The explanation made James' ears turn red. This was seen by Alen who quickly commented, “Don't be too sure that you are the chosen one. Remember! Your opponent is tough. Riley and ... Josh Cleve.”James snorted in exasperation, looking offended, “No need to remind me. My memory is still very good.”Shin laughed crisply and when he saw that there were not too many people still in the area, he immediately said, “He

    Diego let out a long breath, looking as depressed as his friends who were facing the same situation as him.However, the young man replied by trying to remain calm, “The problem of difficult tests will not be an obstacle for us, Riley. It's our second chance so no matter how difficult the test is it won't make us lose our spirits.”James, who had been listening carefully and observing Diego's changing expression, soon realized that there was something far worse than just a difficult selection.“So what's the problem?” James finally asked.Diego again let out a long sigh that made his three friends even more curious. “The main problem is that if we fail, we won't be able to take part in the recruitment next year,” Diego explained with a suddenly grim look on his face.“What?” James glared in shock.“Who made such a rule?” Alen asked with widened eyes as well.While Shin said, “That's impossible. Any prospective soldier who fails will still get a chance to apply with the usual requirem

    Reiner gave a salute to Andrew, which Andrew returned with a nod.“Speak up, Reiner!” Andrew ordered.Reiner said, “This actually has nothing to do with the re-selection process, General.”“Then, what is it about?”Reiner raised his head slowly, “What about your health, General?”Andrew looked surprised at the question, but the man then smiled faintly.“I'm fine.”Reiner shook his head, “You don't look well, General Reece.”He looked at Andrew Reece who actually did look rather pale. In fact, even the look in his eyes was rather dull, unlike usual.Reiner was of the opinion that the war general's injuries were indeed quite serious. Otherwise, it was highly unlikely that Andrew would rush to resign from his position.Andrew suddenly chuckled softly and spoke, “You are very observant.”Reiner bit his lip, but he was at a loss as to how to respond to Andrew's words.Andrew immediately continued, “I am indeed in bad shape and this afternoon I will undergo surgery as scheduled by the palac

    James hurriedly replied, “Calm down! There will be an explanation for everything.”Riley tried to be patient and wait. He was very worried but he could do nothing. And sure enough, just as James had said, they got the answer from a young lady who was one of the palace staff and had a good relationship with Riley, Mary Kesley.“General Reece is still recovering from surgery so he will not be able to attend the inauguration ceremony.”People began to wonder at the delivery of this information. Some of them even began to conjecture about the outcome of the operation. A class three soldier who had not been promoted and happened to be standing at the same level as Riley commented, “Did the medical operation not go well?”“I don't know. If the operation had been successful, we would have seen General Reece here, right?” another friend of his said.“I think General Reece is in really bad condition. He's ... not someone who would give up his responsibilities like this unless there was somet

    “How would I know about that?” Riley replied while shaking his head, surprised by James' question which he thought was not important to discuss.James clucked his tongue, “Are you okay with us not living in the same room anymore?”“I'm actually very grateful,” Riley replied casually.James raised an eyebrow and gave Riley a suspicious look.Riley grinned, “At least I won't hear your inconsequential babble like this.”The young man who was the only new soldier in the second year snorted in annoyance and punched Riley's arm although he didn't really mean it.“I'm going to be so bored,” James said listlessly.Riley turned his head and sighed, “Hey, we just live in different buildings, not different kingdoms. We're still in the same castle.”The handsome young man immediately turned to Riley, his eyes showing an expectant look. “That's right, so ... why don't we-”“Stop talking about something that hasn't changed! After all, you can play at my dorm building and I can play at your dorm bu

    “Absolutely shameless,” Alex retorted with his emotions still evident.James put all his strength into getting away from Riley, but he couldn't do it. Riley was apparently much stronger than him.Looking at James who couldn't escape, Alex grinned widely, “You idiot! You can't even fight him.”James wasn't actually provoked by Alex's words, but he just didn't want to hear Alex babble anymore so he again tried to untangle himself from Riley.Riley bit his lip and yelled in annoyance, “Get out of here, Alex!”“Why should I?” Alex retorted, looking stubborn.“Alen!” Riley said, staring as if asking Alen for help.Alen of course understood the meaning of that look and immediately dragged one of the second-class soldiers with his considerable strength.“Let go of me!” Alex shouted.“Lowly soldier! How dare you do this to me!” Alex screeched angrily.Alen didn't care and kept dragging Alex until the man was pushed out of the room.After completing the task, Alen quickly closed the door to th

    Alen sighed in frustration that he had to get involved in the fight.However, Riley didn't seem to mind that at all and instead hastily replied, “Everything James Gardner said is true, senior.”“Not only did James attack Senior Alex Hopskin, but he also attacked James,” Riley explained.The seniors and staff looked at Riley as if they were investigating. One of the staff immediately recognized Riley and said, “You ... aren't you also a war general candidate?”His friend whispered softly, “He's not just a candidate for war general. He's the king's future son-in-law.”The staff nodded and looked relaxed. However, one of the seniors clucked his tongue.He gave Riley a disapproving look, “That doesn't affect us in any way. If what you said was indeed a lie, then we have the right to teach you a lesson.”Riley wasn't upset at all and simply replied, “I'm telling the truth, senior.”Alex, who felt his position was being threatened, quickly said, “What the hell? They're both friends of Gardn

    James instantly stopped what he was doing but still didn't look at Diego.Diego, who saw James' sudden stop, slapped his own mouth as if realizing that he had misspoken.“Uh, what did I say? You ... of course still think of him as your best friend. Otherwise, how could you always make him special weapons?” Diego said guiltily.James sighed softly, “He would have gotten away without my interference.”“I'm not sure, James. If I was sure, I wouldn't have come here and asked you to come back. In fact, Princess Rowena and Prince Xylan ....”James frowned and finally turned to Diego, “What's wrong with them?”“Princess Rowena specifically came to me when I had just arrived at the palace. She asked me to find out where you were, James. Prince Xylan also came to me, like Princess Rowena,” Diego explained.James wondered even more, “Why would they ask you that?”Die

    "General, we're surrounded."A soldier with a bullet wound in his leg dragged himself to walk towards the place where the war general of Ans De Lou Kingdom was preparing his weapons.The soldier who was staggering as he walked was no longer wearing his head armour or any other body armour. That made the war general glare angrily at him, "What have you done? Where is your armour?"The soldier of the first class could only grimace in pain and replied, "It's unusable, too many bullet wounds."Riley Mackenzie widened his eyes and instantly removed the goggles protecting his eyes.The young man crouched down and looked at Benedict Arkitson's injuries, which were extremely severe. Not only had his leg been shot, but his left abdomen was also severely injured. In addition, Riley saw countless other wounds. "Stay here! The medical staff will help you soon," Riley ordered firmly.Ben shook his head, "How can I leave you alone against the main army? There are too many of them.""Reiner will

    People were eager to approach Riley, to help him. However, when they saw James Gardner moving toward Riley, they stayed where they were.James quickly caught Riley's staggering body as if he couldn't bear the weight of his own body.James sighed softly, “What are you doing?”“Preventing you from leaving,” Riley replied weakly.James exhaled roughly and picked up Riley who was still so weak.“You don't have to waste your time and energy,” James said.“Why? You don't have to go, James. You-”“It's my decision,” James cut in quickly.Riley shook his head, staring at the young man who was only one year older than him. “You're not guilty. I'm an asshole for wanting to keep you as my best friend.”“It's nice of you to admit that,” James replied with a faint smile.“If anyone should leave here, it's me, not you,” Riley said.James frowned, “Don't be crazy! You're the general of war in this kingdom. You can't-”“I lied to everyone from the start, not just to you,” Riley cut James off.Riley's

    Rowena nodded weakly, while the four soldiers who were also inside the infirmary immediately looked at each other. Riley himself took some time to process the information.However, Reiner immediately asked, "Your Highness, then ... where is the deputy general of war right now?"Rowena turned her head quickly, "I don't know. I ... only heard the news from the palace maid, just now. Perhaps ... he has already returned to the dormitory or-"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Reiner cut off Rowena's speech quickly due to being too panicked.After that Reiner immediately paid his respects to the king's daughter and quickly left the area together with Diego.Ben also said, "Riley, I'll be there first. Later I ... will be here again."Alen nodded, "Don't worry! We'll let you know when we know what's going on."Riley could only stare at his friends' departure with a look full of confusion.Rowena was the only one left in the room and was accompanied by several staff, soldiers and servants.Row

    At first Riley was eager to force James to answer him, but he stopped doing so when he finally understood that James might need some time alone.He sighed softly, “I'll talk to him later.”Meanwhile, outside Riley's room, all the people who were good friends of the two young people who were having complicated problems were staring at James with questioning eyes.While Alen and Ben were silent because they didn't dare to ask, Diego casually asked, “Did you ... talk to Riley?”James nodded.“Then ... how?” Reiner asked in an anxious tone.James did not answer Reiner's question and only said, “I'm going back to the dorm first.”Shin, who heard that, bit his lip and replied, “I'll accompany you.”James did not refuse and let Shin come with him, while Diego and Reiner remained there.After James and Shin were no longer there, Alen decided to go inside with Ben.Not long after, Diego and Reiner also entered Riley's hospital room area.“He already knew about it,” Ben said when he first looke

    James laughed disappointedly when he saw Riley's silence.Riley suddenly stared at him wordlessly.“Why, did you ... did you never even have the intention of telling me about it?” James said in a sharp tone.Riley opened his mouth but not a single word came out of it.James was getting annoyed at him, “Uh, I see. I see now.”James nodded and stepped back, making Riley surprised.“James, it's not like what you're thinking,” Riley finally managed to reply to James.James shook his head.“Do you really know what I'm thinking, Riley?” James said in a sarcastic tone.The young man could no longer hide his immense disappointment, “You don't know, Riley. But ... I can tell what you're thinking.”“James, I ... know I've wronged you. But, please understand, my position is very difficult. I don't want you to ... hate me, James. I don't have-”“It must have been a lot of fun for you, huh?” James cut off Riley's words quickly.Riley who was originally leaning back immediately leaned her body, fac

    Shin and Reiner glanced at each other, as if they were both confused about whether or not to leave the area as James had requested.However, the reason they hesitated was certainly not because they were both worried that James would hurt Riley. Instead, both of them were more worried about James.Unfortunately, James, who did not get an answer from his two friends, turned his head with a furrowed brow, “Why? Don't you two trust me?”“You guys ... think I would do anything ... to hurt Riley? Is it like that?” James added with a sad look on his face.Shin quickly turned to James, “Of course not. I am sure you wouldn't do anything that bad.”“Don't get me wrong, James! We're ... just very worried about you,” Reiner said quietly.James was startled and when he looked at his two friends in turn, he instantly knew that they were not lying at all.The young man closed his eyes and instantly realized his mistake, “I'm sorry, senior.

What have you done?”Ben was silent.Shin took a deep breath and watched the expressions of all the soldiers who were his best friends. The man sighed softly, “Aren't we ... all friends? How could you ... and you hide this important thing?”Ben raised his head, “Then, what do you expect me to do?”“What did you say?” Shin retorted fiercely.“You think it's easy? Hiding a secret of this magnitude? You think ... what happens if I tell you and the others? Especially James. He ... would definitely fight with Riley.
