“That’s just my gut feeling.” Flying Wolf looked at Falcon smilingly. “Nonetheless, his attack has improved exponentially.”
Falcon’s muscular body shook, and the scar on his face twitched as he growled, “What gut feeling? Are you making fun of me again?!”
“I’m not making fun of you,” Flying Wolf stopped smiling and continued with a slightly more serious tone, “You saw how Moss looked when he was in the Magical Beast horde just now.”
“Take the Evil Rhinoceros, for example. Previously, Moss couldn’t kill or force it to retreat even three meters away. However, he just used his shield to send it flying five meters away; and he did it with so much ease!
“Based on that, I could guess that his strength has increased by at least 50%,” Flying Wolf lightly nudged Falcon with his shoulder as he spoke. Then he pointed toward Moss with his chin and continued, “Look at the 4-star Sacred Frost Sword he used in battle. He must’ve obtained it in Buried City.
“When Moss used his 2-star Frost Knight Holy Sword in the elite training camp, he had already displayed its ice element to a very high level. Moss was like a winged tiger with his new 4-star Sacred Frost Sword. That’s why I think his attack has increased by at least 50% compared to before.”
Indeed, Moss’s new 4-star Sacred Frost Sword had more than two times the power compared to his previous 2-star Frost Knight Holy Sword. More importantly, the higher the number of stars on a weapon’s grade, the better it could fuse with its user’s spiritual power.
Moss displayed his sword in tandem with his spiritual power in the battle that had just ended. That was why he could unleash so much power.
Still, that was only a 4-star weapon. Flying Wolf and Falcon would have been shocked if they saw Moss using his 5-star Red Flame Holy Sword.
Falcon patted Flying Wolf’s shoulder and laughed, “Hahaha, now you’re the one who’s more observant than an actual Falcon. I’m starting to think that our codenames have reversed!”
Then he changed the topic. His eyes were shining, and his rugged face revealed an unconcealable excitement. “Accompany me, Brother. I want to talk to Moss. I must recruit him!”
“Don’t get too excited, Falcon. That kid still has to attend college. You must wait four more years to recruit him, so what’s the rush?” Flying Wolf said disdainfully.
“You don’t understand. We must do these things as soon as possible!” Falcon pulled Flying Wolf’s arm and walked toward Moss. “Stop spewing nonsense, and let’s go!”
Falcon and Flying Wolf slowed down their steps when they saw Moss looking at the Magical Beast territory before him in a daze.
“Hello, Commander Falcon and Instructor Flying Wolf.” Moss sensed the duo approaching and turned around smilingly.
“You don’t have to be so formal, Moss. You can call me Falcon. We’re brothers from now on,” Falcon replied smilingly and took the initiative to ask, “What do you think about the atmosphere at the front lines? Does your blood boil every time you come here?”
Moss nodded heavily. “Yes, my blood boils every time I stand on this magnificent Great Wall, and I feel a sense of pride and achievement every time I fight back against the Magical Beasts.”
Falcon victoriously smiled when he heard Moss’s words. His eyes were full of anticipation as he said excitedly, “Moss, are you interested in joining the front lines and doing something to protect humankind?”
Moss was stunned when he heard that. ‘Falcon is such a straightforward person. He got straight to the point with just a few sentences.’
Still, Moss was a prospective college student. Even if he wanted to join Falcon, he would have to wait four more years.
Mundus also tried recruiting him, so it seemed that no matter where Moss was, talent was a scarce resource. Nonetheless, it was too early to talk about joining anything. After all, he had not even registered for college yet.
Thus, Moss smiled at Falcon and said sincerely, “I’m only a prospective student now, and I’m still a minor. Even if I wanted to join you, I can’t.”
This place was the same as Moss’s past life, as there was a rule that only those who had reached eighteen years of age could join the army. Moss was not even seventeen yet.
Moss looked at Flying Wolf and Falcon with eager eyes, cupped his hands, and said, “If you need me on the front lines, you can call me any time. I’m duty-bound since protecting humans and fighting against Magical Beasts is every professional’s job.”
Falcon waved to an officer behind him and said, “Starway, create a file for Moss now. Record his every achievement on the front lines.”
Then he patted the bearded Starway’s shoulder and said lowly, “We must keep this a secret from the outside world. If anyone asks, tell them Moss is only here to experience the front lines.”
“Yes, sir!” Starway saluted the trio and flew toward the command center.
‘That sounded like Falcon is going to bind me to this place now,’ Moss muttered inwardly but maintained his smile.
Seeing that Starway had gotten far enough away, Falcon nodded with satisfaction. “How’s that, Moss? The army is pretty effective, huh?” He patted Moss’s shoulder and continued solemnly, “Don’t worry, Moss.
“Even though you can’t become a real soldier yet, please rest assured that the army will never forget what you’ve done. Moreover, the army and the country will never mistreat you.”
Moss nodded, looked at his watch, and said, “I have to go home now, Falcon. I’ll start college in a few days, and I’ve been away for two months. I still need to go home and prepare, after all. Oh, do you have any good suggestions concerning which clubs to join when I’m in college, Falcon?”
Falcon heard Moss’s question and immediately turned on his “club expert mode,” saying, “Hahaha, you’re asking the right person! I’ve researched this, and you should choose the combat club. That’s the most famous and one of the oldest clubs at Kyoto Institute. I guarantee you’ll have unexpected gains there.”
However, Falcon was only half an expert in club research. Although he was a front-line officer, he was thirsty for talent and had a close connection with the top 120 clubs in the country.
Although Falcon was an officer on the front line, he was thirsty for talent and had a close connection with the top 120 clubs in the country. That’s why he could answer Moss’s question without thinking.
“Thank you, Falcon!” Moss said sincerely.
“There’s no need to be so polite. Let’s go, so you can return home and prepare for college. I’ll send a car to drive you two back,” Falcon hugged Flying Wolf as he spoke. Then the trio excitedly walked toward the military jeep.
He whispered to Flying Wolf on the way, “You didn’t say a word and only watched the show. You have nothing better to do, don’t you?”
“Since you’ve said everything, it’s unnecessary for me to repeat what you said,” Flying Wolf retorted unhappily, “Hey, you always know what to say to rope people in..”
…
The day of the report arrived quickly, and under Moss’s repeated insistence, he boarded the train to Kyoto Institute alone. He bore the expectations of the teachers, the director, and his family.
Moss did not want his parents to work hard for such a simple thing as registering for college. He looked at the scenery outside the train window and thought about his upcoming college life. Moss was full of endless expectations.
