"Isn't Senpai going to participate in the first battle after a month?"
That sentence changed the atmosphere in the training ground. "Bang!"
As if symbolizing his mood at this time, the red-black magic bullet heavily hit a target in a way that was more powerful than any of the previous shots, causing it to fly into the wall and directly shatter into pieces.
"Huh …"
Reynolds breathed a sigh of relief, as if he didn't want to continue shooting, he retracted his fingertips that had been releasing magic power.
However, Reynolds still didn't look back and looked at Townsend.
There was no other reason.
If Townsend saw his current expression, Reynolds was not confident that he could hide his true thoughts.
Although Reynolds said that, he didn't hide his inner thoughts at all and spoke out his answer.
"… To be honest, I don't know."
That was Reynolds's truest thought.
At that moment, Reynolds's mind was filled with Roman's words.
"Chaldea is no longer the cruel facility you imagined, so, at least here, I hope you can let your guard down."
Roman really hoped so, right?
However, Reynolds still couldn't trust Chaldea.
That was not only because of his disgust with the magician, but also because of Reynolds's past.
In view of that, Reynolds really didn't want to cooperate with Chaldea's action.
But …
"If the battle fails, there will be no future for mankind."
Townsend hugged Fou, looked at Reynolds's back, and whispered.
"Senpai, do you think it's okay?"
That question was the key point that confused Reynolds.
Was it okay?
How could it be okay?
Regardless of whether he could save the human race or not, Reynolds couldn't just watch Townsend and Roman die without doing anything.
Not to mention, Reynolds didn't want to die.
Not because of fear.
As early as 14 years ago, Reynolds had already accurately recognized death. He had also long since given up on the fear that arose from it.
However, Reynolds didn't want to let the life that survived because of a miracle wither so easily.
If Singularity F was not repaired, not only Townsend and Roman, but even Reynolds himself would not be spared.
On the one hand, Reynolds didn't want to cooperate with Chaldea's action due to his inner resistance.
On the one hand, for the sake of Townsend, Roman, and himself, Reynolds couldn't just watch the foundation of humanity fail.
The two feelings made Reynolds not know what choice to make.
What should he do?
At this time, Reynolds couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
At that moment, Reynolds stopped thinking about his own question and turned to ask Townsend.
"What about Townsend?" Reynolds asked. "Do you want to participate in the first battle?"
Townsend was a little startled as he didn't expect Reynolds to suddenly ask him this question.
However, after a while, Townsend replied.
"If possible, I don't want to give up the opportunity to fight for the first time."
This was Townsend's answer.
Reynolds only had one thought about this.
"That's really your style."
This was the only thought Reynolds could make.
Lin Li had been with Townsend for about two years at the very most.
Reynolds believed that he knew Townsend's character quite well.
Renault turned around and looked at Townsend.
Her pink shoulder-length hair hung down very smoothly, as if every strand of her hair could be seen clearly. Every line was distinct.
One side of her bangs just covered one eye, and she wore a pair of flat-rimmed glasses on her face.
She was wearing a white uniform with a short skirt. Her seemingly healthy thighs were wrapped in pantyhose, and she wore long boots.
As for her figure, it was slim and graceful. Considering her age, she was undoubtedly too well-developed.
Such a young girl would often have a pitiful expression on her face that was full of seriousness and illusory.
At first glance, this was an indifferent girl with an inconceivable atmosphere.
In fact, Townsend was not cold, but she was not good at expressing her feelings.
Like Reynolds, she had little experience in life, but she had a lot of knowledge.
Usually, Townsend was a quiet person, and when she talked to others, she adopted a straightforward attitude and a habit of speaking, as if she was controlling herself. She would only speak when necessary, giving others a feeling that she was hard to approach.
In fact, Townsend was a curious and proactive person. She would greet others, talk to others, and ask for their opinions. She was serious and hardworking, and was curious about the outside world. She was just a kind and pure girl who wanted to explore the wider world.
As for an ordinary girl, it was natural that she would not like to fight.
Therefore, Reynolds knew Townsend did not join the battle because she liked it.
Quite the contrary, Townsend was afraid of fighting.
It was just that she was forced to fight, so she wanted to work hard to overcome the difficulties.
The same went for this first battle.
Townsend only had one choice when faced with a battle that she was forced to fight.
She would work hard to overcome the difficulties.
This was something that only Reynolds knew about.
Because of that, Reynolds had to ask.
"Townsend, do you think this is okay?"
Reynolds couldn't help but ask.
The pure and kind girl before his eyes had the same past as Reynolds. Both of them were unbearable to look back on.
Townsend's fate was even crueler than Reynolds'.
At least, Reynolds had been saved.
But Townsend hadn't.
This made Reynolds have to ask that question.
"Don't you hate Chaldea?"
Such a question made Townsend slightly widened her eyes.
Then, Townsend showed a smile.
Very shallow, very light, but very beautiful smile.
"Yes, I don't hate Chaldea."
Townsend replied with a smile.
"Because it allowed me to meet my predecessor."
The gratitude and warmth in her heartfelt words touched Reynolds's heart.
Reynolds couldn't not understand the meaning of this sentence.
This reminded Reynolds of the scene when he first met Townsend.
Townsend seemed to recall the things at that time, and the expression on her face became more and more gentle.
Seeing such an expression, Reynolds knew.
He didn't have a second choice.
"I'm really defeated by you."
Reynolds also showed a smile.
The distress in his heart had disappeared.
Compared to the resistance to Chaldea and the magician, Reynolds didn't want to see the girl's smile disappear.
This was Reynolds's truest thought now.
Compared with this, the resistance in his heart was no longer important.
