Chapter 1601 - 1073: Stationed Area
Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai gathered all the students together.
"Alright, I think after spending a night, you’ve all calmed down, right? Do you now understand what to do?"
"Yes! Teacher!"
Seeing the energetic responses from the students, Tachibana Hinata sighed silently beside them. Actually, it was only when she returned to her room and lay down on her bed to rest last night that she finally understood Duanmu Huai’s intentions. No matter how you put it, for those kids, suddenly being thrust into an unfamiliar, unknown world, and forcibly being given the title of ’Hero’ to go fight on the battlefield...
It must be incredibly confusing for them, making it impossible to think clearly. If they were to act according to the other party’s arrangements in such a situation, they would fall into a trap.
Yet, Duanmu Huai insisted on putting the students first. No matter how pitiful the other side acted, he remained unmoved. If it were Tachibana Hinata, she might have been swayed by the Old Pope and reluctantly agreed to his request, forcing the terrified and exhausted students to appear in front of the world’s people, thus being dragged along by them...
But Duanmu Huai protected the students, allowing them to calmly consider their current situation in a safe environment—whether they accepted it or not, at least they could think about their circumstances without interference.
Thinking of this, Tachibana Hinata seemed to understand why these students respected Duanmu Huai.
"Remember, the other side will act very enthusiastically towards you, but don’t let that get to your heads. Treat them like overly enthusiastic shop assistants in a clothing store; you know how to handle such people, right?"
