System vs Rebirth

The next day.

The three captains gathered in the meeting tent. Noel was fortunately invited as well. His insight was extremely useful after all.

Septa had a grim expression the whole time. It seemed that there was a huge problem coming their way.

He looked at them for a while to the point Clara couldn't help but ask with an annoyed face. "What's wrong, Septa? You surely don't gather us like this for no reason, right? Looking at your equipment, it seems you're about to leave. Is that all?"

"No…" Septa shook his head helplessly. "I have received a reply from the Headquarters to immediately investigate the Plant Lord. But there is something more…"

"It seems that the Headquarters is sending a troubling reinforcement to replace me…" Septa sighed.

"Huh? Isn't the reinforcement supposed to be the mad wolf Urza? Although he is a rough bunch, he is not that troublesome to deal with." Clara frowned, feeling something bad.

"No. The reinforcement this time is… that woman."

"!!!" Clara and Shale were dumbfounded when they heard about the replacement.

"Seriously?" Shale gasped and looked away. "Is this true? What should I do this time? I haven't done anything wrong, right?"

Noel was startled by Shale's reaction. Shale's strength was among the top in the Demon Banner Army. There was nothing he should be afraid of other than the commander. But he didn't understand why he had such a reaction from this mysterious woman.

Clara let out a sigh. "This is truly annoying. To think that the situation is like this… it seems that the one who suggested it is not the commander… but that woman."
