System vs Rebirth

"Commander." Shale was finally released from the commander's ability. He kept glancing at the entrance where the kids had left.

They had taken the second option, so they had to get stronger as quickly as possible to avenge Noel.

Meanwhile, Shale didn't understand why the commander did this and demanded an explanation.

The commander shook his head. "That's the only way for them to get stronger. Noel hasn't died."

"But…" Shale suddenly fell silent. The news about Noel's death had reached his ears, so it confused him to hear those words from the commander. It seemed that there was another conspiracy in this matter, which was something he didn't want to get involved in.

"I know your concern, but this is for the best. The kids have a lot of motivation, but that's not enough.

"There are only some ways for those kids to survive in this harsh world. I'm sure you know it too, Shale."

Shale looked down, understanding those words. He couldn't help but recount his past.

If there was only one kid, their survival chance would be higher. But there were a lot of kids in that group. If they wanted to survive as a group, they had to get stronger fast so that they wouldn't be taken advantage of by others and end up getting killed in a plot. They might even get enslaved.

So, the commander fueled them with hatred so that they could get stronger as quickly as possible.

But what he didn't understand was the fact that the commander forbade them from entering the barrack. After all, it was the best place to train.

"It seems that you don't understand why I give them the second option." The commander made a small smile as if understanding his confusion. "There are three reasons for it. First of all, they don't belong here.

"The moment the new apprentice knights come, there is bound to be a conflict of interest between them. No matter how talented the kids are, I am still the commander of the Demon Banner Army.
