Chapter 156.

Son Jeong-Tae, Kang Ho-Jung, Park Yeon-Sung. Squads 4, 5, and 6, respectively.

When addressed, the foreigners moved to locate their respective groups. The only person left was a plain-looking woman.

Ah

Realizing her name was not called until the very end, she looked around with an anxious look in her eyes. When they met Seon-Hyeoks gaze, she immediately looked down.

The other foreigners looked somewhat more enthusiastic after being given the objective of a 2nd class advancement. However, she was different.

Her drooping shoulders showed no hint of a fighting spirit, and her eyes were like those of a dead fish.

Seon-Hyeok empathized with her current appearance. This was exactly what he had looked like in the past, when he was first deployed to the cavalry and given a role unrelated to his class.

Min-Young had been standing absentmindedly without any expectations, and she looked at the foreigners divided into groups of 10.

The foreigners with battle experience were all in squad 1, and the remainder had been divided into 5 additional groups.

There was no squad 7.

Ah

Feeling dj vu, Min-Young looked discouraged as her head drooped.

I will personally manage your training.

She did not respond.

She viewed herself as inferior at best, or possibly even a failure at worst. For her, his decision likely felt like a form of quarantine.

However, Seon-Hyeok did not bother explaining his decision.

The frustration and despair accumulated over the years would not b
