“By the way, in situations like this, the academy allows us to request military backup. But it would take at least two days for the troops to get here.” Thora looked at Tobias expressionlessly. “From what I know, very few teams have ever asked for military support during past missions. Tobias, do you want to be the first?”
The crowd fell silent. The jab was way too obvious.
What exactly had Tobias done to offend Thora so badly that she kept calling him out like this?
Even Roxen could not stop a faint smile from forming. Over the past year, he had gotten a good grasp of Thora’s personality. She held grudges and had a sharp tongue. Once someone offended her, she would call them out directly no matter the occasion. Even if the topic had nothing to do with them, she could still leave them speechless.
It looked like Tobias had truly crossed a line this time.
Tobias stared at Thora, his voice icy. “Thora, what are you trying to say?”
“Nothing.” Thora replied calmly. “If you didn’t understand, I can have someone repeat it for you later.”
Then she turned to Roxen and Ryan, her tone serious and firm. “I called everyone here because I want our teams to fight together. Within two days, we finish the mission and wipe out the enemy.”
Every word she said was steady and forceful, shaking everyone present.
There was no doubt this was the most efficient and beneficial option. Everyone there was smart enough to see that. No one intended to refuse.
Roxen and Ryan nodded immediately. The only uncertainty lay with Tobias.
Proud and competitive, Tobias already had conflicts with both Thora and Roxen. His decision was the final variable.
“If we’re joining forces, then who takes command?” Tobias looked up and raised the key question.
It was clear that his words already acknowledged the proposal to combine forces.
At a time like this, instead of watching Thora and the others complete the mission together, he might as well participate and get a clearer picture of their strateg
But these teams had always operated independently. If they were to coordinate, one person had to serve as temporary overall commander. They were all capable leaders, but their styles differed greatly. To unify operations, they could not each act on their own.
So who would take that role became the core issue they faced.
However, in front of Thora, who ranked first in the Command Institute, who could really compete for t position?
Roxen did not care at all. He trusted Thora and also trusted his own command abilities.
As for Ryan, he had long since accepted Thora as his leader.
Tobias fixed his gaze on her and said coldly, “So our temporary commander is you?”

Thora looked at him. “Are you from the Command Institute?”
Tobias paused, then replied in a low voice, “…No.”
“Then are your grades better than mine? Or do you think you’re more capable than I am?” she asked.
Tobias fell silent. He could not say a word.
Thora gave him a cool glance, her tone edged with mockery. “Then if it’s not me, who would it be? You?”
The moment those words left her mouth, not only Tobs but everyone present froze.
A single thought passed silently through their minds. Por Tobias.
Tobias’s face turned dark, but he could not refute her. He was not from the Command Institute, and his grades were nowhere near hers. If she did not serve as commander, how could it possibly be him? Even though he knew that was the truth, he still felt a surge of anger building inside him.
How many times had she humiliated him today? Just because he had secretly monitored Luke?
With his own guilty conscience, Tobias did not want to press the issue further. For now, both sides let the matter drop.
