Memories began to resurface.At the age of 18, Reinhart was poisoned on a mission with his best friend Leo. They were surrounded by multiple enemies ranging from A to B ranked Sentinels. It was an elaborate plan to end his life. In order for Reinhart to survive, Leo sacrificed himself."Just make sure you show those jerks from the main branch that a man from the side branch can also be great." Those were Leo's last words to Reinhart.He blamed himself for Leo's death and felt that he had betrayed his friend's trust and loyalty. He became more reckless and selfless, putting his life on the line for every mission. Eventually, he was promoted to Grade 1 A Ranked Sentinel and appointed as the lieutenant of Squad One.When he was 23 years old, he faced his greatest challenge, which was also his final battle. An awakened demon monarch, who had amassed a vast army of evil creatures and curses, launched attacks on different galaxies, intending to destroy them and create a new world order. A

Reinhart watched, his eyes wide open."So now I'm getting schooled by you..." He laughed softly, as he shifted his gaze back to the sky."Levi Starfall... I wonder what could have caused such pain hiding behind the eyes of a child...""I wonder too," a gentle voice came from behind Reinhart.He turned his head slowly to see Lian standing behind him with a smile that brightly contrasted the chaos happening around them."So that's the kid Zenon brought in..." She muttered, gesturing towards Levi with her palm wide open.She raised her other hand towards the direction of Layla and the rest who were kneeling in agony. "Sorry, but I can't be gentle right now," she said in an exhausted tone. She waved her hands to the direction of the other students, flinging Layla and Riley into the barrier the students were enclosed in, and Levi back into the purple barrier where his friends were.Seeing Levi crashing down, Kyle placed his hands out, catching him and setting him down."Okay please, that

Emilia approached Layla, her demeanor less violent than it was, before seeing Levi. Upon setting her eyes on Emilia, Layla got down on one knee, "Captain Emilia. Please accept my apology for the current situation. This is a result of—""What's the situation?" Emilia asked, interrupting Layla, and ignoring everything she had been saying."Four sentinels, including myself, went into battle," Layla began to report. "Two are confirmed dead, and one, in a life threatening situation," she explained further.As Layla gave her report, Emilia scouted the area with her eyes, watching students as some of them were being carried into ambulances, and some were still trying to gather their minds and recover from the trauma of what they just experienced. "Some students sustained injuries in the course of this battle, but none of them are life threatening," Layla added."As for the enemies, their leader was killed in battle, but we've currently subdued the other five who played a major role in the

Levi's head was unable to form a single coherent thought. Her words stabbed deep into his mind like a knife ripping a hole that took him back to the island. 'Second target.' The words he heard Kai whisper when he ran past him echoed in his head. But back then, he hadn’t understood. And now, with Emilia’s words hammering into his skull, it all began to make sense.Was he the real target all along?Did Kai call him the second just because Reinhart happened to stand in the way, because revenge came first?His hands trembled slightly. The puzzle pieces were falling into place, and the weight of what it meant pressed down on him like a skyscraper on the earth.Levi’s eyes widened slightly. His lips parted letting out words that came in mutteers, “So… those—those people…” “Yes,” Emilia snapped with a low firm tone...“Those people!” She stepped forward, eyes blazing with fury. “They all lost their lives because of you!”“Reinhart is currently in the situation he is because of you!” she sho
