Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 1201 - Bab 1210

The candidates listened in silence. They understood that Adrian was explaining to them what honor, mission, and responsibility were. His words were filled with endless hopes for the candidates, and they knew he wanted them to become as fearless as Daniel.He wanted them to become heroes—soldiers who accomplish their missions. Adrian looked toward the sea of candidates. He saw their blood boil after listening to his speech. They were moved, excited, and ready to leap into action. "One of you will become the new legate and lead Wyvern Peak. I don't care who this person is. All I want is for them to remember our motto regardless if they’re a man or woman, rich or poor. The moment you become the legate, you're no longer yourself anymore, but a soldier, a superior, a leader, and a strategist. Whatever happens in the future, I want you to lead your team fearlessly and with all your might against our enemies."Upon receiving the War Legate Medal, it will be the highest honor of your lif

Adrian's reply brought relief to the women present.At that moment, everyone was sure that the upcoming selection would be the most unique throughout history.***After two hours of Adrian answering questions, the rally ended. The candidates filed out of the hall and headed back to their hotels to pack up. They were going back to their respective academies to wait for the six locations to open. When Adrian returned to his office, Raquel walked in. "How was it? Do you think there's any difference with this year's candidates compared to your batch?"He once participated in the selection and came out on top with the best results, even creating new records in the process. Thus, he already had an idea about what this year's candidates were going to be like."You go first."Raquel had never participated in the selection, but she still had the right to voice her opinion since she was a battle warrior of Wyvern Peak. "I think the women are a little too hostile. They even overshadow t

These words came out of a nineteen-year-old girl. Adrian vowed to treat the young woman before him in a different light from now on. Nineteen was the peak of one's youth, yet Sage chose not to date and get into a relationship like others. Instead, she pushed herself to her limits in pursuit of her dreams. Everything she said was from the depths of her heart. She refused to live her life as an ordinary woman. She wanted to be better.Adrian fell silent, startled by Sage's words. He felt as though she had just taught him a lesson. She did not seem like a nineteen-year-old no matter how one looked at her. She was far more mature than that."Will you regret your decision in the future?" Adrian asked. Sage shook her head but then nodded. Finally, she said, "Nobody can predict what happens in the future. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, but one thing I’ll surely regret is missing this opportunity.”She could not predict what would happen to her after the selection but she was sure what woul

“In the future, I hope you won’t forget the words you’ve said today. I wish you all the success in the world.” Adrian smiled at Sage. She hastily nodded. “Thank you, sir. May I leave if there’s nothing else?”“Go ahead! Work hard!” Adrian waved. Sage left the office. As soon as she left, Raquel walked in. Leaning against the door frame, she asked, “How did it go? How was the discussion? What do you think of the girl? Anything you’re dissatisfied with?”Adrian pondered for a while before answering, “She’s too confident.”“Isn’t that a good thing?” asked Raquel. Adrian did not refute her but instead said, “It’s a good thing to be confident, but it depends on the circumstances. There are times when we can’t just be blindly confident. We need to find out if she understands this principle. But she did pretty well in the overall assessment. After all, no one’s perfect.”Raquel giggled so hard that she almost bent over in laughter. “I bet you’re recalling how you were when you fir

After the rally, Adrian realized that this year’s candidates were much stronger than he had been, and he was deeply gratified over this. He took comfort in this rather than worry the candidates would be problematic. His concern was not the candidates’ standards, but the innermost thoughts that they kept hidden. Adrian recalled the saying of new talents emerging in their own way with the passage of time. The saying “The student has surpassed the master” was highly appropriate in this situation. Many of these candidates surpassed the attitude he had when he was a candidate himself.***As night fell, the lights of Songton shone brightly, exuding splendor and magnificence. Adrian arrived at Lake Solunar and stood on the bridge of the lake, watching the passersby, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart. He felt like a lonely hero from ancient times that was about to go into hiding.He had stepped back, and anything that happened in Novemton from now on would no longer be associate
