ALTHOUGH Reas had already expected it to some extent, hearing the confirmation that he was right was still a bit shocking. When he saw the guy earlier, he had already guessed his identity to some degree because of his features – platinum blond hair and green eyes. After Reas’ mother told them about her and his father’s past, one of the things that stuck to him was the prominent features that belonged to the Lancaster family. He probably remembered it well because subconsciously, he was already considering the Lancasters as his enemy. So, when he saw someone with such features, he wouldn’t be careless and put down his guard. And lo and behold, one really appeared here in the military academy. “Lancasters? Aren’t they a family of nobles known for being a bunch of assholes?” he said, not really mixing his words. Ash stopped when he heard that and then burst out laughing. “Man, you really don’t pull your punches.” As if he heard what they were talking about, Cyrus Lancaster suddenly turned to their direction. Staring at Reas in particular. “Oohh… he might have heard us,” said Ash, but his voice showed that he’s not really afraid if the other did indeed hear them. “Let him hear,” Reas said indifferently. Because he really didn’t care if the other heard him or not. If he did hear, that only meant that his physique level was on par with his. Considering the distance from where he was standing to where the other was sitting. Ash laughed again. “I can feel that the both of us will really get along well.” Reas refused to respond to that and just walked to where the food was. When he saw the selection of food, a crease immediately appeared on his forehead. The food all looked bland an unappetizing. The food here obviously gave more importance to nutritional value rather than taste and appearance. Just by looking at the food here, he already missed his brother’s cooked meals. Which was not only nutritious but delicious as well. He sighed and just put food on his tray. He looked around. There were many empty seats, so he simply chose some place where he couldn’t see that Cyrus Lancaster. He didn’t want to be judgmental and condemn him from the crime of his relative, but Reas really couldn’t just get pass what that, he couldn’t even say that monster’s name, that bastard had done. This Cyrus Lancaster might be different. But honestly, he couldn’t care less whether he was or wasn’t. He put down the tray on the table and sat down. A second after, Ash sat on the opposite seat. “Hey, roomie, do you have a grudge against all nobles or just corrupt nobles in particular?” Ash asked. He was genuinely curious. With how Reas reacted to the general and then to Cyrus Lancaster, it’s really not weird for anyone to come up with that conclusion. “Of course not. I’m not some social justice warrior.” He just couldn’t stand them, both the prince and the Lancasters – Reas added in his thoughts. “And don’t call me ‘roomie’.” He picked up a spoonful of one of the dishes on his tray and ate it. A frown quickly appeared on his face once he did. It’s not that the food tasted bad, it simply didn’t have any taste. Which was worse than being bland. He sighed. And just ate everything without a word. He just now realized how much he was spoiled by his brother and his parents. He should probably get used to this now. After all, once he became a soldier, his diet would surely be mainly composed of nutrient solution anyway. “Man, how can you eat so fast?” Ash commented after seeing that Reas had already finished his breakfast while he hadn’t even eaten half of his. “Are you that hungry?” Then, as if he realized something, he suddenly looked at Reas with pity in his eyes. He even put his hand on his mouth as if he was about to cry. “No way, are you from a poor planet? Is this the first time you have a meal like this?” Reas felt the corner of his eye twitched. “You know, one of these days, I will really end up punching you on the face.” Ash put both his hands up, finally stopping his poor acting. “Hey, no need to be so violent. I’m just teasing. But seriously, which planet are you from?” “Delryria, it’s an agriculture planet at Palioxis Galaxy,” Reas answered. “An agriculture planet, the land must be pretty rich,” Ash commented while finishing his meal. “Aren’t you going to ask me where I’m from?” “I’m pretty sure you’ll say it even if I didn’t ask.” Ash grinned at that. “Well, you’re right about that. I’m from Alluna.” Reas was a bit surprised hearing that. “Isn’t that the planet belonging to that person?” Ash laughed inwardly. This guy must really dislike the general seeing as he couldn’t even say the other’s name properly. He wondered then how Reas would react during the weeklong training. It would definitely be interesting anyway. “Yes. The family of the soldiers under Fenris Squad all live there. Of course, it’s not a requirement. It’s more like a perk of being a member of Fenris Squad,” he answered. “No matter what other people say about the general, Alluna is a great place to live. I grew up there and I can attest to that.” Reas was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Well, at least he’s doing one thing right. I’ll give him props to that.” Ash stopped and then laughed. “Man, I can’t wait to see your interaction with the prince. It would surely be a riot.” “Just finish up your meal so we could go to the training facility,” Reas only said. “Are you asking me to go together? Does that mean you’re finally warming up to me?” Ash said acting all touched. Instead of answering, Reas just stood up, carried his tray, and walked to the direction of the area where dirty dishes should be deposit. Ash looked at the other’s back and laughed. What short temper. No wonder he had a feeling they would get along well. He quickly finished his meal and followed the other.
