Riley did not answer Ben's words and instead looked at the senior who was also his friend through the glass of the protective helmet he was wearing.

Ben sighed softly, “Riley, did you hear me or not?”

Riley replied stammeringly, “Yes, Senior Ben. But-”

“There is no but. Just focus on your victory and I ... will also focus on defeating you,” Ben cut in quickly.

Riley was dumbfounded but when he saw Ben nodding steadily towards him he finally calmed down.

He was sure Ben would fight just like him. And when he saw the way Ben looked at him, he knew that Ben would not give up easily.

In fact, he was very relieved by Ben's attitude and immediately got ready according to Mary Kesley's instructions.

On the other hand, apparently it was not only them who had prepared themselves, but also the other two selected soldiers had also prepared like them along with James and Josh.

Meanwhile, Diego and Alen, who were sitting together with Shin, were very tense.

    Of all the people who wanted a rematch, there was suddenly someone who did not share the same opinion. That person was also a first-class soldier who immediately said, “Don't be stupid! Ben has tried hard. You didn't see how he fought, did you?”When someone wanted to argue, the soldier said again, “Just admit that the kid is tough. Besides, remember, General Reece chose him, there's no way a war general like him would choose a stupid soldier who only relies on his status.”The soldier's words apparently succeeded in making them come to their senses and they were inevitably forced to accept defeat.“I can't believe this. Those two youngsters beat us. What's wrong with us exactly?” a class one soldier muttered who had been a soldier in that class for four years.He shook his head, “This is so embarrassing! New soldiers are beating us experienced ones.”A friend of his responded, “What should I do if I meet my cousin who is still a class one soldier? Oh! I wouldn't dare look at his fac

    Riley was instantly petrified where he stood, while Alen stared with a worried expression at Riley.“That's fun. I want to go to James' house after going to Riley's,” Diego said.Shin nodded his head, “Good idea. Let's take a short vacation after the long war.”James smiled happily, “It would be nice to go somewhere refreshing.”“Uh, we won't be able to do that. We only have three days, it won't be enough,” Ben said.James sighed softly, “Yeah but at least we can see Riley's house. How about it, Riley? You ... don't mind right?”Riley couldn't just stay silent and it was impossible for him to refuse because he didn't want to make James uncomfortable. So, the young man replied, “Of course. You can all go to my house after James' house.”Alen widened his eyes, but did not dare to make any comment. While James exclaimed happily, “Great! Alright, we'd better get dinner and ... prepare all our things for tomorrow.”Ben suddenly said, “You guys have dinner first, Shin and I have to take ca

    “Yes, we're going straight home,” Riley replied.The man in the neat black suit immediately nodded in understanding, “Yes, Young Master.”After saying that, the man spoke to someone using a device and in just a few seconds, five people suddenly approached. Ben glared in surprise, but didn't have time to say anything because the people who had just arrived had already taken over the task of carrying his backpack. “Come on, let's go to the car!” Riley said with a bright smile.Ben could only stare and follow Riley and Alen who were strangely not surprised at all by the whole thing.In fact, it could be said that Alen was so calm that Ben thought maybe Alen already knew that Riley was the son of a rich businessman.Not stopping there, Ben was even more shocked when he saw a luxury car that turned out to be Riley's family car.The young man forgot to close his mouth when he was in the car so Alen had to whisper, “Senior, you ... seem to have forgotten to close your mouth.”Ben quickly c

    At the same time, William turned to the two people who were still standing not far from the door. The man, who was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, suddenly said, “Vincent said you brought two of your friends. Why don't you introduce us, son?”“Right, I'd like to meet your friends too, dear,” Cassandra said.Riley nodded in understanding and immediately walked over to his two friends with his parents following behind him.Ben was able to close his mouth but was still unable to blink because he was still too surprised.“Mom, Dad, this is Alen, my dorm mate. We're in the same class. And ....”Riley held Ben's arm with a bright expression, “This is Ben, one of the seniors from class one who helped me a lot.”The young man smiled at his parents as if he was really happy to bring his two friends back to their home.Alen immediately put on his brightest smile and greeted, “Good evening, General Mackenzie and ... Mrs. Mackenzie. I'm Alen Smith, Riley's dorm mate.”William smiled back, “G

    “I don't know, Senior Ben. But I always hoped that he would never find out,” Alen replied as he then let out a long sigh.Ben massaged his temples due to a sudden dizziness. After he learned Riley's secret, he felt a bit burdened. It was because he also had to hide all of that from James and he thought it was very unfair to James.However, he also understood the situation and his condition so he was even more confused. He didn't want to side with anyone. Both Riley and James were close friends. How could he help one of them?Seeing Ben's silence, Alen immediately believed that the senior was depressed. He said, “We don't know what might happen in the future, Senior. But what we do know is that we're all friends now. You wouldn't want our friendship to fall apart, would you?”Ben nodded and sighed heavily before responding, “You're right, Alen. I guess I'll have to join you in keeping this a secret.”Alen smiled wryly. He did not want to put James in an unfair position, but he could

    James sighed softly, “How can I say that before, when I even opened my mouth, you were already pelting me with your weapons from the kitchen?”Dorothy raised her left eyebrow and gave her son a stern look, “It was your own fault, James.”However, soon Dorothy walked up to Diego and Shin with a bright expression and also with a warm smile, “Oh, I'm sorry, Dear. You two weren't hit by my throw earlier, were you?”Shin and Diego were quite surprised. The middle-aged woman standing in front of them was very different from the woman who had thrown those horrible things at them.She was even smiling warmly and kindly at them, in contrast to the way she looked fiercely at her own son.“Of course they weren't hit, your son is used to deflecting your attacks, Mom,” James replied in a casual tone.Dorothy shook her head as if dismissing her son's words.She then said in a soft tone, “Don't listen to James' babble!”James immediately pouted.“Oh, you must be so tired! Come on, let's go inside. I

    “Mom, what are you doing?” James complained as he gave his mother a sullen look.Dorothy chuckled, still ignoring her son's words she said to Diego, “You must be very patient to be able to listen to my son's sometimes painful words.”Diego was stunned. He had never expected James' mother to be so open and honest. Shin, who was holding back his laughter, finally responded, “Auntie, you've described James' character very well.”“Of course, young man. I'm his mother, I know how my son is,” Dorothy replied while glancing at James who still looked annoyed.“Mom, just so you know. I now have many friends and they-”“Immune to your sharp tongue?” Dorothy cut off her son's words.Diego couldn't help but laugh and he ended up chuckling along with Shin.James chewed his food quickly then replied, “Trust me, Mom. In fact, I have one close friend who almost sacrificed his life for me.”The young man looked proud to show off to his mother, while Dorothy raised her left eyebrow and asked quickly,

    If it had been someone else, he would have refused to answer. However, it was his own mother who asked, so there was no way he could refuse to answer.“Not much. He ... just said father isn't as bad as people think. After all, dad is a general of many who has also sacrificed a lot for the Ans De Lou Kingdom,” James explained.Hearing her son's explanation, a faint smile appeared on Dorothy's lips. She then responded, “He hasn't changed, still as wise as ever.”Diego was dumbfounded, while Shin frowned in astonishment at James' mother's words.James snorted and gave his mother a disapproving look, “Mom, come on!”Dorothy waved a hand, “Hey, don't stare at your mom like that. After all, what you said is true.”Suddenly, Dorothy got up from her chair, “Never mind, time has passed. By the way, why haven't you finished eating your food yet?”Shin hurriedly resumed his chewing, while Diego plucked a piece of cake. James sighed softly, not wanting to eat anymore.“When you're done eating, t

    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.

    Ben suddenly bowed his head.James immediately closed his eyes, completely unable to believe the painful reality that had slapped him.Meanwhile, Shin looked at his friend with a look of disappointment.He touched Ben's shoulder and asked, “You knew about this big secret and you ... did nothing? 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. They'll-”“Damn it!” James cursed because he couldn't stand it anymore.The young man said, “Don't act like you know about me and can guess what I might do or happen. You think you can
