Valica rushed all the way to the training grounds, and Shuis was indeed there. Since Elaro had given a command, he definitely wouldn’t slack off. Although it was already evening and about time to rest, the platoon members were still exchanging kicks in pairs. A trace of exhaustion could be seen on their faces, but the power behind their kicks had not decreased in the slightest.

Shuis was the most serious of them all. He was sweating all over, his shirt long since soaked.

Valica slowed down, knowing that Shuis had already noticed him but was purposely ignoring him. This wasn’t anything strange. The relationship between them had been bad ever since that day they had both held Elaro’s hands when they were young—indescribably bad!

With firm steps, he walked toward Shuis. Finally, Valica stood right in front of him, no more than a step away. No matter how much Shuis wanted to ignore him, he could not ignore something that was blocking his entire line of sight.

Shuis stopped pretending he didn’t see him. He looked straight at Valica and asked bluntly, “What do you want?”

Valica didn’t know what he wanted either, but the anger burning within his chest helped him disregard his own uncharacteristic actions. He opened his mouth to press for answers, “Why can’t you return home? You’ve never said that you ‘can’t’ return home, or that you don’t want to go home.”

Even so, why am I so angry? Even Valica, at this very moment, did not understand himself. It was just that even Judge had known about this, yet he had known nothing!

Moreover, he had always thought that Shuis just didn’t want to go home, maybe because he didn’t get along with his family, or possibly because they’d gotten into a large argument. Even though he had suspected that the actual story might not be so simple, he had never thought to investigate further… He simply hated that Shuis obviously had family, yet still fought over Big Bro Elaro with him, who had nothing at all!

A flash of suspicion seized Shuis, but he quickly adopted his usual attitude and coldly said, “It’s none of your business!”

Right after he spoke, Valica abruptly grabbed Shuis’s collar. Although it was normal for them not to get along, Shuis never thought Valica would abruptly lose control like that, especially when they had just angered Elaro. Normally Valica was the one who would keep his cool for a while.

Shuis was rather puzzled, so he did not grow angry over Valica grabbing his collar. He even raised his hand to stop his angry platoon members from stepping forward.

On the opposite end of the training ground, Rhonelin and Dili had seen everything. They knew that Shuis and Valica had just angered Elaro, so it was unlikely they would get into another argument right away. Thus, they hadn’t immediately rushed over. However, once they saw that the situation was getting out of hand, they hurried over.

“Valica, stop that!” Dili shouted sternly. Valica was grabbing Shuis’s collar, but the latter did not retaliate, much to Dili’s surprise. Usually, Shuis tended to be the one who struck first. He wasn’t good with words, so anytime Valica harassed him vocally, he would always retaliate physically.

“This has nothing to do with you two!” Valica growled fiercely at them. He normally never treated them so rudely, but right now… he couldn’t care less!

Rhonelin spoke calmly, “Of course it involves us. Captain is not here right now. As his vice-captains, we are naturally obligated to prevent you two from fighting.”
