System vs Rebirth

After a long training, Noel finally returned to the training ground with the rest of the trainees.

It seemed they had an important announcement. Even Shale straightened his back and wore formal clothes as if he was receiving someone with a high rank.

To everyone's surprise, a middle-aged man walked to the platform. The man had fierce and sharp gaze that could send chills down one's spine with just a single look. His muscular body was even excluding an aura that made them feel they were just a hopeless prey.

Noel recognized him because he was the most important person in this fort, the commander, Oscar.

Unlike the pity or gentle expression he showed in the past, Oscar didn't seem to want to give any differential treatment to the trainees.

After taking a glance at all the trainees, Oscar opened his mouth, speaking with his deep, gallant voice. "I am the commander of this fort, Oscar. I congratulate you for finishing the test with flying colors. Although it's unfortunate that people died in the last outbreak, it's impressive that you didn't fall into the same pit in the last test.

"With this, I've recognized you to have graduated from the trainees introduction class. Now, you shall become the Junior Soldier of my Demon Banner Army.

"If you want to become a full-fledged soldier, you have an objective that you'll need to complete within one year. Shale will give you the full explanation later.

"What I want to say here is that… The number of our soldiers might not be high, but…" Oscar paused as he took a deep breath before shouting with all his pride. "…our soldiers are elites! They have the strength of a hundred if not thousands of men! Why?

"Because we'll pour our resources on each of you and give you the best training we can provide.
