Chapter 273: Was Arranged By the Higher-Ups

After he disappeared at the gate of the training camp, the camera moved and Lugh saw the words of the Grade 1 Class Five training camp.

Lugh was very satisfied with Lucy’s mission this time.

“Was he happy when he received the gift?”

Lucy said in a flat tone, “Yes, he was so happy that he cried.”

Thinking of Xu Dahai’s tears, Lugh wanted to laugh.

“By the way, this is the letter he asked me to pass on to you.”

Lucy handed a letter to Lugh.

Lugh tore open the letter and read through it. He felt warm in his heart.

After reading the letter, he folded the letter and put it back into the envelope before putting it into his space bag.

“You should go back and rest for a while,” Lugh said. “It’s been hard on you for more than a month. I don’t have anything to do here for the time being.”

“Major, I’ll be leaving then.”

“Go.”

Lucy opened the door and left Lugh’s room. Before she left, she even closed the door.

Lugh glanced at the drawer, stood up from the bed, opened the door, and walked out.

He looked at the small square in the center. There were only about seven people just now, but now there were seventeen or eighteen people surrounding it.

These people looked at Lugh and then looked at Lucy who was walking towards the female dormitory area. Their eyes seemed to have the meaning that almost all men understood.

Lugh knew that these people would make wild guesses.

When he walked to the square, Lucy had already disappeared and turned into the female dormitory area.

This group of people became bolder.

“Lugh, what’s your relationship with Lucy?”

“Did you know each other before?”

“What are you doing in the room?”

…

Colin’s expression was awkward. He stood behind the group of people and did not speak.

“It’s not what you think.”

Lugh raised his hand and pressed it down.

The seventeen Beast Masters quieted down, wanting to hear his answer.

Lugh said in a serious tone, “Lucy, after joining our 7th Team, she’ll temporarily be my adjutant.”

“Holy shit!”

“Awesome!”

“Female adjutant?”

“Female secretary?”

…

Many of the younger members of Team 7 couldn’t help but swear.

“I know you guys might be surprised. Actually, I was also very surprised at that time.” Lugh spread his hands and said helplessly, “But that was the arrangement of the higher-ups. I had no way to refuse.”

Lugh looked as if he was the victim.

This made many members of Team 7 feel sour in their hearts.

“I think you’re taking advantage of me and acting like a good boy.”

“That’s right!”

Even Bruce, who had the best relationship with Lugh, said, “Lugh, I really want to punch you!”

“I want to punch him too!”

“Actually, I also think that Lugh deserves a punch.”

“…”

Lugh was a person who was brave enough to take responsibility.

Seeing that so many people wanted to punch him, he simply said, “If you really want to punch me, I’ll stand here and let you do it.”

“Really?”

“Are you serious?”

“We really did it!”

There were indeed a few Beast Masters from Team 7 who were eager to give it a try.

Of course, there were also a few people who knew Lugh’s strength, holding back their evil laughter.

Lugh nodded seriously. “Of course it’s true, but don’t get my clothes dirty.”

“Actually, we were just joking.”

“Yes, we were all joking.”

“How could we bear to do it?!”

…

The few members of the team who said they wanted to beat up Lugh grinned and chose to give up.

Beating up Lugh, they knew that they didn’t have the strength to do so.

When Lugh was at Gold-tier, he was able to withstand the attacks of a group of Rock Armor Rhinoceroses.

Now that he was at Platinum-tier, they, Gold-tier Beast Masters, weren’t that stupid.

That’s right, that big mouth of Bruce’s, had long told everyone about Lugh’s strength.

Since Lugh had told Bruce, he never thought that he would keep it a secret.

The news of the Emergency Response Team’s expansion also spread through the 7th Team.

Lugh also received news from Lucy. Skylight City had already issued a recruitment order.

The recruitment order had already spread to the major cities in the Southwest, mainly recruiting Gold-tier Beast Master experts among the civilian population.

Gold-tier Beast Masters in the armies of the major base cities in the Southwest could apply for it, and they would be given priority in using it.

The recruitment of Gold-tier Beast Masters in Skylight City this time wasn’t just to fill up the newly established Emergency Response Team’s 14th Team. It was also to solve the shortage of manpower in the other thirteen squads.

At this time, in the emergency response master battle, the matter of electing the 14th Team’s Vice-Captain and Captain was no longer a secret.

Currently, the Emergency Response Team had a total of 13 squads, and a Special Ops Team.

The members of the Special Ops Team were rather mysterious and rarely appeared.

Each of them was a true elite of the Southwest Region. It was said that they were all composed of Star Glory Beast Masters who had experienced hundreds of battles and possessed extraordinary talent.

Most of the time, they would act alone, or work in groups of two or three.

Occasionally, when the thirteen emergency teams went out on missions, if Captain Bania or Vice-Captain Barnard thought it was necessary, they would arrange for the members of the Special Operations Team who were free to go out on missions together with the emergency teams.

After all, it was impossible for the major base cities in the Southwest Region to have a beast calamity every day.

If that was really the case, their Emergency Response Team would have been wiped out long ago.

The day before they competed for the position of the Captain of the 14th Emergency Response Team, Elisa’s adjutant informed Lugh that Elisa was looking for him.

As soon as Lugh entered Captain Elisa’s office, he smelled the stench of blood.

He immediately became vigilant. Even his military salute was more standard than usual.

“Sit!”

“The competition is tomorrow. Are you confident?”

“Lugh, your only disadvantage is that you are too young. From your experience and experience as a leader, most of the higher-ups in the Southwest Military Department don’t think highly of you. It was General Paul and Captain Bania’s insistence that allowed you to join the reserve. You have to work hard.”

“Yes!”

Lugh nodded heavily.

The position of Vice-Captain of the emergency team didn’t mean that you were qualified to participate just because you had the ability.

In fact, he wasn’t very interested in the position of Captain of the emergency team.

What he was interested in was the spatial-type Fierce Beast egg hidden by the Southwest Military Department.

“I think so too. There’s nothing wrong with you. You’ve done very well during the few missions you’ve led, and your teammates all think highly of you. A genius like you should make an exception and be promoted, even though I feel inferior every time I think of your age,” Elisa said with a helpless smile.

Lugh smiled awkwardly as well.

“Your opponents this time are all battle-hardened experts in the army. Almost all of them are High-tier platinum Beast Masters. More than half of them are from our emergency team. They’re not easy to deal with. You have to be careful.”

“Aren’t there any Top-tier Platinum Beast Masters?”

Elisa couldn’t help but laugh. “Everyone wants their opponents to be as weak as possible. Why do you want your opponents to be as strong as possible?”

“I’m just asking.”

“The vast majority of Top-tier Platinum Beast Masters wouldn’t choose to become the Captain of an emergency team. They prefer to break through to the Star Glory tier.”

“If my strength reaches Top-tier Platinum, I might choose to give up my position and strive to quickly advance to the Star Glory-tier,” Elisa said. “Many of the Star Glory-tier Beast Masters in the Special Ops Team are former team leaders of the emergency team.”

“I understand.”

Beast Masters with ideals and ambitions would all pursue great strength.

In this world where Fierce Beasts raged, great strength was especially important.

“Actually, if you only want to become a powerful Beast Master, it’s not a wise choice to become a team leader for the Emergency Response Team,” Elisa said sincerely to Lugh.

“Although the leader of the Emergency Response Team is putting in a lot of effort, they still have a lot of things on their hands. These things might very well affect their ability to improve.”

Lugh asked curiously, “Then why does the leader have to be the leader of the team?”

“Responsibility,” Elisa said slowly. “If everyone wants to improve their own abilities, and no one stands up to shoulder this burden, then our 7th Emergency Response Team will collapse.”

Lugh’s respect for Elisa increased by another notch.

“Maybe it’s because of your background. Unlike You, you’re from a commoner’s family while I’m from a military family. I’ve always had a strong personality since I was young,” Elisa said with a smile, “My grandfather and great-grandfather were both ordinary city guards. My father awakened and became a Beast Master. He’s been in the Reclamation Unit for thirty years now, and only joined the 7th Emergency Response Team after becoming a Gold-tier Beast Master. Twenty years after he died in battle, I joined this emergency team as well. My mother always said that I was born to work hard.”
