Sinar County

It did not take long for cadets to reach the southwest position.

Lurin was at the lead and immediately noticed the nearly one hundred soldiers resting around a broken building. All of them looked exhausted and had all sorts of wounds on their bodies, making it clear just how hard the last few days had been for them.

The soldiers also detected Lurin, Beelze, Levi, and the other cadets. Most of them showed curiosity in their eyes, but some did not react so friendly seeing a group of young cadets coming their way. 

Lurin noticed that, but not even for a second did he show a flash of hesitation or weakness. He might not have Cain's imposing aura that pushed everybody into compliance, but he had trained his entire life for a moment like this.

Once Lurin was one hundred meters away from the broken building where the soldiers rested, he raised his hand, stopping everybody. All the cadets, including Beelze and Levi, followed his command.
