At seven in the morning, everyone headed out for the training base.

Every year, Kingstowne University held training at an official military base in the suburbs. It was known for being strict and exhausting.

The bus rocked as it drove through the gate. The tall walls, serious guards, and heavy atmosphere made the freshmen go quiet without realizing it. They felt nervous but also excited.

After getting off the bus, they lined up by class and waited for the instructors.

The sun was intense, making Noelle squint.

Next to her, Eleanor wouldn’t stop talking.

“I heard our instructors this time are total badasses!

“I did some digging, and apparently, they’re high–ranking officers from the IBI!”

“IBI? You’ve got to be kidding. That’s an international organization. Why would they train university students?”

Eleanor was dead serious. “Totally real! My uncle’s with the education department. Insider info! IBI contacted Kingstowne University themselves and offered to handle part of the military drill as some kind of … friendly exchange and demo.”

The crowd went wild.

IBI–the mysterious and powerful international organization–coming to train college students? That sounded unbelievable!

Noelle heard this and was just as confused.

Who?

IBI?

While Noelle was still confused, steady, heavy footsteps came from the distance.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The sound had a strange rhythm to it, like it was hitting everyone’s chest. The noisy crowd went silent instantly

All the freshmen held their breath and looked toward the sound.

A group of people wearing special black IBI combat uniforms was marching toward the training ground.

They stood tall and looked intimidating. Even from a distance, you could tell these guys were the real deal–tough, sharp, and experienced.

The man at the front was especially tall and broad–shouldered. His shoulder insignia showed a very high rank.

A military cap shaded his sharp, sculpted features, but it did little to conceal his exceptional good looks.

His lips were pressed tight, his jawline hard. He gave off a strong “don’t come near me” vibe, mixed with the authority of someone

used to being in charge.

Just by walking at the front, he became the center of attention.

“Oh my god… He’s so hot…”

“That presence… It’s intense…”

“So this is an IBI officer?!”

Soft gasps and whispers spread through the line.

Meanwhile, when Noelle finally got a clear look at him, her expression instantly darkened.

Of course, it was Sebastian.

Behind him were Eden, Elliot, and a few other familiar faces.

Her mouth twitched.

Then she shook her head, half laughing, half helpless.

So this was what he meant by “see you the day after tomorrow.”

Eleanor got so excited she grabbed Noelle’s arm and whispered, “Ahhh! Noelle! Look at the leader! He’s so hot! That face! That

aura!”

Even Holly was staring, her heart racing and her face turning red.

She had never seen a man this outstanding, this attractive.

The IBI group walked to the very front of the formation and stopped.

Sebastian slowly looked up. His eyes were dark and intense. As he scanned the crowd, it felt like the air froze.

For a split second, his eyes met Noelle’s.

His cold stare softened right away.

His lips moved slightly, as if he were silently mouthing the name “Noey.”

Noelle made a silly face at him.

A hint of a smile flashed in Sebastian’s eyes.

Holly, who was standing right in front of Noelle, thought Sebastian was smiling at her. Her heart skipped a beat.

Was he smiling at me?

Does he … like me?
