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

    Alex's friends, who had come to defend their friend, turned to Alex, watching his response.Apparently, instead of looking confident, Alex looked hesitant. That expression clearly showed that in that case Alex had lied.One of Alex's friends clucked his tongue and said quietly to Alex, “Damn you, Alex! If you made a mistake, why drag us along?”Alex immediately turned to his friend and replied with a sardonic look, “What do you mean? Didn't you say you wanted to teach that Gardner a lesson?”“Then why are you blaming me now?” Alex added in a tone of voice so low that it could only be heard by his three friends.One of Alex's other friends spoke up, “Alex, did you really attack him?”Alex was taken aback, shocked that his friend seemed to have decided to turn on him.“If you did attack him, then you're just as guilty as he is,” the other friend continued.Alen and James looked at each other, seemingly confused by the actions of Alex's friends.However, Riley was not surprised at all.

    Alen and Diego were happy to see their enthusiasm. The two young men immediately embraced Riley and James.“Calm down guys! It doesn't matter if no one supports you two, there are still us,” Alen said sincerely.Diego also added, “James, Riley. You've got us to be the noisy audience.”Riley smiled happily, while James immediately grumbled, “What the hell are you doing? The palace staff can kick you out of the selection arena if you're loud.”Yet again, Diego took no offense to James' sometimes annoying words.The young man knew how James talked and knew that he wasn't as bad as people thought. He also considered James to be one of his best friends, just like Riley and Alen.After talking incoherently, the four young men set off towards the selection arena building where it turned out that there were already thousands of soldiers present inside the building.Alen stared in amazement at the uncountable number of soldiers as if all the soldiers of Ans De Lou Kingdom had come to witness t

    “Of course he's coming. He couldn't have let the selection go by without him, right? What's more, there's you who ... has been personally selected to come along,” James replied lightly.The young man was honestly happy to see the arrival of the current Ans De Lou Kingdom's war general, but he didn't want to show it too much in front of Riley.Riley glanced at James. Riley's smile instantly expanded at the sight of Andrew, even from a long distance. “He looks healthy, doesn't look like he's had major surgery,” Riley said.James snorted softly, “Oh my goodness, Riley! He's been missing for a few days, I guess he used that time to recuperate.”“It would seem so,” Riley replied, agreeing with James' words.James immediately stopped talking when Mary Kelsey, as usual, started to speak. Oh, somehow he felt he had memorized Mary's voice and strangely he always shut up automatically.The event started after Keannu Wellington gave the signal and Mary began to explain some of the main rules

    A roar of applause erupted inside the training ground that could hold thousands of spectators. The shouts of “Josh Cleve” were so loud that they made James Gardner frown.The young man even wanted to cover his ears altogether because they were starting to hurt. However, before he could raise his ears, the person whose name had been called out by Mary Kesley spoke into his ear in a rather loud voice, “Forgive my supporters! They just want to give me support.”James forced himself to smile and replied silently, “No problem.”Josh flashed a big smile at James and also at Riley who then said, “Good luck, senior. You'll make it.”“Thank you,” Josh replied and then waved at his supporters.This immediately excited the supporters of the senior class one soldier. Shortly afterwards Josh made his way to the arena where he would fire at the twenty targets. James didn't stop staring at the senior, while Riley was more interested in reading the rules on the monitor.Before they heard Josh fir

    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.
