An Inevitable Experiment

"Really?" At those words, Edward looked at Valyr with excitement, explaining to the latter he and Wells were on a short vacation from the frontlines. "Does that mean you'll be accompanying us when we head back to the frontlines, then?"

Hearing the question, a slight hint of confusion appeared on the young man's face as he looked at Wells in the hopes for clarification.

Fortunately, his friend seemed more than eager to give him a greater understanding of the current situation, causing Valyr to click his tongue the moment Wells was done explaining.

"Damn. You're telling you two have been working hard for months already, yet you've only gotten a week of rest in exchange?"

"It could be worse." Wells bitterly chuckled in response to Valyr's question. "If not for the fact that Edward here became the captain of a 100-man group, we would probably still be stuck in the frontlines."
