Seeing that Reynolds didn't speak, Randolph continued, "Reynolds, I know you are not from Tang Empire, not even from King's Continent. You can choose to reject this request, and I will help you and Irene explain the situation to the guild."
Reynolds was at a loss after hearing Randolph's words, "Dean, I …" After living in Chang 'an City for a long time, Reynolds had gradually gotten used to the life here. He even considered this country and this city as his hometown. He had thought of leaving this place with Irene, but looking at the current situation of this country, Reynolds couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Most importantly, Reynolds's friends, Shijun, Linka, and the others, had been recruited to the battlefield!
Reynolds was very worried about their safety.
Thinking of this, Reynolds asked, "Dean, I want to ask, is it strange for a person like me, who has no experience in leading troops, to be the leader?"
Randolph also felt that this was a bit strange. It was too childish to find a person who had no experience in group battles to be the leader of a team. Although Randolph was very confident in his disciple's strength, the battlefield was not something that could be changed by strength alone. It required a smart mind, a correct command, and a strong charisma. Reynolds was undoubtedly only suitable to be a warrior who charged into the battlefield. At most, he could be an assistant. As the one who gave orders, this burden was too heavy.
"I don't know either. Anyway, this is the decision of the higher-ups of the guild. They seem to think highly of you and want to cultivate you into an outstanding talent who can make a great contribution to the country. I heard that there will be some experienced seniors who will give you guidance. Don't worry, Reynolds. By the way, you must humbly listen and respect their opinions. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Do you understand? " He was afraid that a young man like Reynolds was like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of a tiger. It would be troublesome if he got impulsive, so he warned him repeatedly.
Reynolds was relieved when he heard that there would be help from an old fox. He really didn't have the confidence to accept this position directly.
Randolph patted him on the shoulder, "Well, go back and prepare. Then we will gather at the academy's training ground in three hours. Time is running out, so we have to hurry!"
It wasn't as simple as running out of time. It was extremely urgent. One day was too short. Three hours was far from enough. There were a lot of things to deal with. What should Irene do? Would she also be summoned by the Demonic Path Academy or the Special Duty Guild? If the two of them were separated, then it would be troublesome. Reynolds didn't want Irene to leave him, let alone participate in a war where she might not return. The people on the road were in a hurry, busier than ever. The farewells of their loved ones, the separation of their lovers, and the mutual care of their friends. Their faces were filled with anxiety. Whether it was their loved ones, friends, lovers, or themselves, it was a very depressing and painful thing to have to step onto the battlefield. Usually, before the magical beasts attacked the city, they could at least make sufficient preparations. But now, things had happened so suddenly, and the country was in a precarious situation. The candidates were not mentally prepared, and they did not know how strong the enemy they were going to face would be. If they left, it was very likely that they would be separated by life and death. War was really f * cking terrifying. Everyone was helpless under its shadow. Reynolds, who lived in the peaceful era of Earth, felt it once again.
…
He opened the door and looked around the dorm. Irene was not there. He didn't know where she went. Reynolds was burning with anxiety. Three hours was already short enough, and there were a lot of things he hadn't instructed her to do. Just as he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, the door opened. Irene walked in with a sad face.
Reynolds hurried over and asked, "Where did you go? I was so worried about you."
Irene didn't answer Reynolds's question. She looked at him with a worried face and said, "Linzi, what should I do? I just received a notice from the academy. I have to join the army immediately and go to the battlefield. You too, right? Linzi, I don't want to go to the battlefield … "
Reynolds frowned. Irene was indeed called to the battlefield.
"Linger, don't worry. If you really don't want to go to the battlefield, I can explain it to Dean Randolph. I'm just worried about the safety of my friends. "
Eirinn nodded and sighed. "Me too. A few of my friends were conscripted to the battlefield. I don't think war is a big deal on Earth, but here I am. "
Reynolds fell into deep thought. Going to the battlefield meant that they would have to be separated. But … Reynolds seemed to have thought of something. He looked up and asked, "Linger, which regiment are you in?"
Irene nodded. "Yes."
Reynolds looked up to the sky and laughed. "Hahaha, that's great!"
Irene stared at Reynolds with wide eyes. She didn't know why he was so happy to hear this sad news.
Reynolds gave her an answer. "I'm the commander of the 376th Regiment."
Irene couldn't believe it. "Linzi, really?"
Reynolds smiled. "Linger, you have to call me Commander Reynolds."
Irene saw Reynolds's expression and knew he wasn't joking. Her face lit up. "That's great!"
She put her right hand on her left shoulder and saluted. "Commander Reynolds, your subordinate Magician Irene is here to report." So there was only a fine line between heaven and hell. Irene was overjoyed. Being with Reynolds, even if they died on the battlefield together, she thought it was a happy thing. She was free of her fear and even joked.
Reynolds pretended to be serious. "Irene, I have to give you a physical examination first and then confirm if you have the qualifications to join the 376th Regiment."
After saying that, he put on a perverted look and approached Eirinn, causing Eirinn to slap him on the face.
After this incident, the two of them no longer cared about the matter that they had been extremely worried about. But why was it so coincidental that out of the thousands of teams, Eirinn had been assigned to his own team? Was it just a coincidence? Or did the Guild know that he and Irene were lovers? But now was a critical time. They couldn't have the leisure to care about personal relationships. Reynolds didn't understand. But no matter what, this was a good thing.
The two of them didn't need to pack up anything. They took their magic cards, class badges, armour and other things and left. Before closing the door, Reynolds glanced at his first residence on the continent. It was also the home in his heart. He suddenly had a strange premonition: he might never be able to return here. Reynolds didn't like this feeling, so he quickly tried to forget it.
