Under Theo's cold gaze, Lennox broke down and lowered his head.
"I'm sorry."
Tears gathered in his eyes against his will.
He thought he might be rejected, but he didn't expect the rejection to be this bad and severe when he actually faced it.
Elle had assured him it would be fine.
Could Elle have misjudged this time?
'No, Elle never says anything wrong.'
The Elle he knew always made the right decisions.
Thanks to him, he himself, who was miserable, was able to become a valuable person.
Elle had clearly stated that Theo would understand why the purpose mentioned in the note was needed, and he had even prepared the documents and delivered them by hand.
Lennox gathered his courage, extended the documents prepared by El, and asked again:
“Mr.
Military Doctor, please, take a look at this for once!
I beg you!”
Lennox lowered his head forcefully and violently, as if he was about to break through the ground.
Bang!
His forehead hit Theo's desk hard, and Theo flinched lightly.
'What happened to this boy today?'
Theo was actually admiring this boy in front of him, Lennox Claude, who was keeping his head down.
At first, when Keisha brought him in saying that he was nominated by Erhan, Theo was not impressed.
He was going to fire him immediately if he neglected his work even a little.
But after making it work for a few days, his mind changed.
Theo had no choice but to acknowledge Lennox's competence.
Although his combat ability as a soldier was rather mediocre, his ability as a quartermaster was extremely amazing.
He handled the receipt of rations and kept records with the utmost precision and strictness, and had keen insight in selecting cheap, high-quality supplies.
He was even covering the budget deficit with his own money!
When asked why he did this, Lennox replied with a bright smile:
“If the unit members can train well with this, the unit will become stronger as well.”
Theo was astonished to hear this answer.
He firmly believed that abundant material and medical support affected the combat power of the unit.
Of course, people like Keisha, who fights for a hundred men and does not abide by circumstances, did not understand this.
Because they believed that a truly strong soldier would become stronger, no matter how much he was put in a miserable quagmire.
But most ordinary soldiers were not like Keisha, and therefore, their skills would develop and grow stronger when they were in a good environment with abundant supplies and support.
And this thin-looking young gentleman, Lennox, was well aware of this fact.
Whenever Theo gave Lennox a job and saw him do it well, he felt a strange sense of pride from a certain moment.
Is this the feeling that Kesha has for Erhan?
But it was a little strange that the meek Lennox should commit such transgression and demand with such insistence.
'There must be some reason.'
Keisha suddenly announced training, leaving him completely preoccupied with preparations.
In this situation, when Lennox suddenly barged in and asked him to provide the materials for outdoor training, Theo lost his calm and exploded angrily.
Theo sighed softly, calmed himself down, then opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“Claude, raise your head.”
Lennox quickly raised his head.
Theo noticed that his white forehead was a little swollen and red.
Theo sighed and added:
“Let me take a look at it first.
To see what it is for.”
“Here he is!”
Lennox quickly handed over the documents.
The purchase order note was fully prepared.
Theo quickly browsed the contents of the purchase items listed above.
[Item Name: Slime / Classification: Medical Materials]
[Unit required: 200 objects]
His eyes narrowed after he saw the content.
Slime is one of the lower monsters that used to appear in abundance even in neighboring villages.
Although they were soft, jelly-like monsters, they were not particularly aggressive, making them easy for even commoners to hunt.
But why is this classified as a medicinal substance?
He also didn't understand why 200 of them were needed.
Anyway, if they went to the Qin Mountains, which was the outdoor training area, Nether Beasts of this type would be abundant there.
He read the content below and was confused.
[Purpose of purchase: To be used as body protection bandages during outdoor training march.
Please agree to purchase the item listed above for the purpose described.]
His pupils widened.
The most arduous part of outdoor training is the walk to the training ground.
This is because the shoulders that carry military equipment and the feet inside the hard military boots develop ulcers, which leads to an increase in the number of casualties.
As a military doctor, he knew this fact better than anyone else.
But since these injuries were not serious enough to be fatal, he could not waste healing potions imbued with precious magical power on the members of the unit.
Therefore, Theo, despite his extreme discomfort, had no choice but to prescribe ointments to individual members of the unit.
Even now, he was annoyed at having to prepare large amounts of ointments for tomorrow's outdoor training.
But what if slime was applied as additional bandages on the shoulders and feet?
The soft slime was the perfect shock-absorbing material.
With the shock relief of military gear and the shock of harsh military boots, blisters can be prevented.
It was a truly groundbreaking idea.
'But, who came up with this idea?'
This is an idea that could only occur to anyone who has gone through military life, especially the harsh outdoor marches.
It was unbelievable that Lennox, a young nobleman from a merchant family who had just begun his military career, would think of such an idea.
Furthermore, the content of this Application Note was limited to the essential essential points without any superfluous details.
It looked like it was written by a seasoned administrator.
Lennox asked:
“Claude, who prepared this document?”
Lennox replied, confused by the unexpected question.
“It was prepared by El… No, it was Deputy Commander Erhan!”
Is it that again?
Although he didn't like it for some strange reason, he couldn't deny the coolness of the idea itself.
Moreover, the benefit was much greater at the unit level.
It is much better for soldiers to receive training with perfectly healthy bodies, rather than to arrive at the training ground with sore bodies and receive training in pain.
This is because the efficiency and results of training will be much better than training under pain.
“Okay.
I will provide it and distribute it to all members of the unit before leaving for outdoor training tomorrow.”
"Thank you very much!"
Lennox saluted in a loud voice.
“Then I ask permission to leave now!
Rest!”
As Lennox was about to leave the clinic, Theo called out to him.
“Claude, one moment please.”
“What's wrong?”
“Take this.”
Theo took something out of the drawer and gently threw it towards Lennox.
Lennox unexpectedly raised his hand, picked up the object, and then examined it.
It was an ointment.
"Put it on quickly.
Before it swells."
Theo pointed to his forehead, and Lennox looked at him in astonishment before smiling clearly and greeting him.
“Our military doctor, thank you very much indeed!”
When Theo saw that innocent and obvious smile directed at him, he felt a little confused.
“It's over, so you can leave if you're done with your stuff.”
"present!"
Theo kept watching Lennox's back as he quietly left the clinic, then closed the clinic door.
•
"Wow, it's so soft!
I feel like I'm walking on clouds!"
It's four in the morning.
Lennox expressed his admiration while wearing his slime-lined army boots.
Illya also felt comfortable feeling the soft sensation under her feet.
'Fortunately, Theo brought slimes.'
Her request note seemed to be well received.
Before they left for training, Theo prepared exactly 200 slimes and distributed them to everyone in the unit.
When placed on each shoulder and each foot, the number was just right.
“Come on, everyone go out to the training ground!”
Illya issued an order to the unit members who finished their preparations.
The unit walked out to the training ground, rubbing their eyes and yawning, their military gear slung over their shoulders, which were fitted with slime bandages.
After they left, while she was checking to see if anything was missing, Lennox approached her.
"Lennox, why haven't you come out yet?
What are you doing here?"
Then Lennox handed her a small bag.
“Because of this.
Take it quickly.”
When she opened the bag, she found a pair of small black crystal balls inside.
“It arrived last night, but I was too busy to give it to you.”
How quickly the work was done!
Elia replied with a smile.
“Thank you, I will deliver this to Axion.”
After she finished the final examination, Illya went out to the training ground.
The training ground was still as dark as night.
Unlike the rest of the unit who were napping, Axion was standing there on the other side, holding his military gear in perfect position.
“I will go with you.”
Yusar approached her without her noticing, so she and he went together to Axion and handed him the bag containing the black crystal balls.
“Here is what you asked for.”
Axion's blue eyes sparkled sharply in the darkness.
He examined the contents of the bag and then greeted her.
"Thank you."
“What about the cost?”
When Yusar interrupted him with a quick question, Axion answered coldly.
“Wait a minute.”
Axion lowered the military gear he was carrying on his shoulder.
After unpacking the backpack, he took something out of it and handed it to Yusar.
“Isn’t that enough of a price?
If not, tell me.”
Yusar's eyes hardened when he saw the item Axion handed him.
His lips, which were constantly smiling, lowered.
“Axion, are you really serious about paying this as a price?
Have you lost your mind?”
