Outside the door of the office of the Dean of the Guide Medical College, there was a sudden knock on the door. Jiao Shuo put down the documents in her hand and looked up, saying, “Please, come in.”

The one who entered was Mohr, the student she liked the most and also her closed-door disciple. Mohr’s background was very pitiful. He lost his parents when he was 16 and awakened as a guide. He came to the capital star alone and registered with the Guide Association. After spending a year completing his studies at the Sanctuary, he followed by enrolling in the Guide Medical College of the Federal Military Academy.

His mental energy talent was rated A+, which was not as high as the S-rank guides. However, he was diligent and hardworking during his time at school, dedicating almost all his energy to studying. Therefore, every time there was an exam, he scored full marks in all subjects, not inferior to the S-rank guides of the same period.

As students of his grade needed to choose mentors, Mohr chose Jiao Shuo, his most respected teacher, when filling out his preferences. Originally, he didn’t have much hope, but unexpectedly, Jiao Shuo happened to appreciate his hardworking character and accepted him as a closed-door disciple, personally guiding him for two years.

Now, he was about to graduate.

Seeing her favorite student, Jiao Shuo rarely showed a smile on her face, pointing to the sofa in front and saying, “Please, have a seat. Have you considered your future plans after graduation?”

Mohr pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously, “Teacher, I want to go to the front line.”

Jiao Shuo furrowed her brows slightly. “The front line is very dangerous and prone to accidents. I hope you could stay at the school and become an assistant at the Guide Medical College. You are the most outstanding student I have taught in these years, and I believe you can also become an excellent teacher.”

Mohr was gentle in nature and had a particularly good temper. In fact, Jiao Shuo had been guiding him as a successor, so she wanted to try to retain him.

Mohr looked at Dean Jiao and said, “Teacher, I know you are considering my welfare. But I am a soldier, and I hope to use the knowledge I have learned to help more sentinels. I have no parents and no attachments, so I’m not afraid of sacrifice. Please, let me go.”

Jiao Shuo fell silent for a moment before saying, “Since you have made up your mind, I will support you as your teacher. How about this, the guide accompanying the eagle Special Forces will retire next month. I will recommend you to take over his position. Go back and prepare. Report to the Eagle Legion team next week.”

Mohr’s eyes lit up, nodding immediately. “Okay, thank you, teacher.”

Mohr had heard of the Eagle Special Forces. It was the elite force of the Eagle Legion, and all the sentinels in the team were talents above A-rank. The captain seemed to be the nephew of General Lu, an S-rank sentinel, but he couldn’t remember the specifics.

With his talent, treating A-rank sentinels shouldn’t be a problem. Although he lacked combat experience, the previous guide still had a month before retiring, so he could intern with the team first.

After returning to the dormitory, Mohr quickly packed his luggage and completed the graduation procedures at school. He was one of the top students in this year’s graduating class, winning scholarships every year. Therefore, General Lu Tingyu was very satisfied after reviewing his information. He immediately agreed to Jiao Shuo’s recommendation and informed his nephew, Lu Cheng’an, about it.

On Monday morning, following Dean Jiao’s instructions, Mohr came to the office of the Eagle Legion in the capital star to complete the entry procedures.

After arriving at the Personnel Department’s office, he immediately saw the sentinel standing there. The sentinel was dressed in black and gold military uniform, tall and handsome. The moment their eyes met, Mohr’s heart skipped a beat. The sentinel’s face lit up with a brilliant smile as he walked up to Mohr and extended his hand, saying, “You must be Mohr?”

Mohr was introverted and shy, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the other’s smiling gaze. His ears turned red as he quickly lowered his head and nervously shook the sentinel’s hand, saying, “H-hello, are you the head of the Personnel Department? I’m Mohr, here to report.”

The sentinel chuckled, “I’m not from the Personnel Department. I’m your captain.”

Mohr was taken aback, looking up at the other person in surprise. “C-captain?”

The sentinel nodded and withdrew his hand, saying frankly, “Let’s get acquainted. My name is Lu Cheng’an. I’ve read your information, and since I’m free today, I came here to greet you personally.”

Only then did Mohr notice the star on the shoulder of the sentinel’s military uniform – the rank of a Federation Major General. So young, yet promoted to Major General; he must indeed be Lu General’s nephew, Lu Cheng’an, the captain of the eagle Special Forces.

Mohr was both surprised and honored, standing up straight and giving Lu Cheng’an a standard military salute. “General Lu!”

Seeing him turning pale, Lu Cheng’an couldn’t help but wonder, “Do I look scary?”

Mohr blurted out, “N-no.”

Lu Cheng’an joked, “Then why do you look like you’re facing a formidable enemy?”

Mohr stuttered, “I-I’m just… a bit nervous.”

Lu Cheng’an glanced at the spirit body next to Mohr. It was a white deer, wrapped in a soft white light, looking cute and pure. However, at this moment, the little deer was influenced by its owner’s emotions, nervously hiding behind its owner, only showing half of its head.

Lu Cheng’an found it quite amusing and couldn’t help but take another look at the little deer. As a result of his gaze, the half of the deer’s head also retracted completely, hiding away completely.

The previous guide of the eagle Special Forces had a straightforward personality and had already bonded well with the team’s sentinels. Unexpectedly, the successor recommended by Dean Jiao turned out to be so shy and timid, even blushing when speaking.

Lu Cheng’an cleared his throat, speaking as gently as possible, “You don’t need to be nervous. I’m actually quite easy to get along with. Since you’re the guide accompanying our Eagle Special Forces, we’re comrades from now on.” He turned around, picked up a form from the desk, and said, “Let’s get the paperwork done first. Fill in the information.”

Mohr walked up to the desk, lowered his head, and quickly filled out the form.

At this moment, a female officer from the Personnel Department walked into the office and handed a bag to Lu Cheng’an. Lu Cheng’an took the bag and handed it to Mohr, smiling, “This is a military uniform tailored to your size. Welcome to join the eagle Special Forces.”

Mohr respectfully accepted the bag with both hands, “Thank you, General.”

Lu Cheng’an handed over the completed form to the Personnel Department for approval, then he took Mohr and left the office building.

Mohr originally intended to return to school, but Lu Cheng’an directly let him into his hovercar, saying, “Let me take you to the new dormitory. Over at the White Tower, I’ve already arranged accommodation for you. You can move in whenever you have the time.”

Unexpectedly, the captain valued this newcomer so much that he arranged everything for him.

Mohr felt very touched, but he wasn’t good at expressing himself and was slow to warm up to people. On the way to the White Tower, Mohr obediently sat in the passenger seat with his head down, not saying a word. His spirit body, the little deer, seemed to sense that the sentinel beside him posed no threat, so it peeked out from behind its owner.

With one person and one deer sitting quietly like statues, Lu Cheng’an glanced at them and felt that this guide was unexpectedly quiet. Lu Cheng’an coughed lightly, actively seeking a topic, “Um, let me give you an overview of our Eagle Special Forces. Currently, besides me, there are 105 sentinels in the team: 100 A-rank and 5 A+. I’ve read your information; as an A+ mental energy healer, you’ll be under the guidance of our team’s guide, Zou Lin. He’ll retire next month, so by the time he leaves, you should have learned enough from him.”

Mohr nodded, “Okay.”

Lu Cheng’an asked, “The furniture in the dormitory at the White Tower is uniform. When on missions, the space on the starship is limited, but there are single rest rooms for everyone. Do you have any other needs you want to mention to me?”

Mohr replied, “No, none.”

Lu Cheng’an said, “…” Talking to this guy was quite exhausting; it was easy to kill the conversation. Lu Cheng’an didn’t say much more and drove to the White Tower, leading Mohr to the dormitory door before leaving.

As he turned around, Mohr suddenly spoke up, “Um… General Lu, thank you for today.”

Lu Cheng’an turned back, meeting a pair of bright eyes. Those eyes were filled with sincerity and gratitude, but his ears turned slightly red, seeming embarrassed.

“It was troublesome. you didn’t need to take the time to pick me up,” Mohr said earnestly.

“…No trouble,” Lu Cheng’an said warmly, patting his shoulder. “In the future, when you see me, you don’t need to call me General Lu or use formal language like ‘you.’ Just call me Lu-daji or Lu-ge; I’m only a few years older than you, there’s no need for such formalities.”

“O-Okay.”

“Get some rest. The entire team will gather at the landing pad on the starship at 8 a.m. tomorrow,” Lu Cheng’an smiled and then turned to leave.

Mohr watched his tall figure leave, feeling his heart beat a little faster for some reason.

After closing the dormitory door, Mohr took a deep breath, calming his racing heart, and said in his mental world, “I didn’t expect General Lu to be like this, without any airs, but very friendly and easygoing.”

The little deer murmured softly, “He does seem different, and his eyes were very friendly when he looked at me earlier.”

Mohr thought that Lu Cheng’an, as an outstanding S-rank sentinel and the nephew of General Lu, the commanding officer of the Eagle Legion, would be arrogant and difficult to get along with. But after meeting Lu Cheng’an today, he found that Lu Cheng’an was very smiley, outgoing, and didn’t look down on him at all. He was also very warm-hearted.

Thinking about how Lu Cheng’an personally drove to pick him up to the White Tower, Mohr couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart and smiled, “He really is a very good person. With a captain like him in the future, I feel at ease.”

The little deer worriedly said, “But he’s an S-rank sentinel, Master, can you perform mental guidance on him?”

Mohr thought for a moment and said, “With my mental energy, it’ll be difficult to thoroughly treat an S-rank sentinel. But if he’s willing to trust me and let down his guard, daily mental guidance shouldn’t be a problem.”

After Mohr quickly packed his luggage in the dormitory, he turned and went to sleep. He had a strange dream; someone seemed to be smiling at him, and he tried hard to approach that person. Finally, he saw the face clearly – strong features, handsome features, a brilliant and dazzling smile. It turned out to be Lu Cheng’an, whom he had just met today.

Mohr was startled awake, his cheeks flushed. Strange, why would he dream of General Lu? Mohr felt embarrassed and confused. He had never had any romantic experiences and didn’t believe in love at first sight. However, from the day he first met Lu Cheng’an at 16, he had a particularly good impression of him.

Perhaps it was because the captain personally came to pick him up and took good care of him, which is why he dreamed of him? Mohr didn’t dwell on it, turning to wash his face with cold water before heading to the starship for assembly.
