Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Half of the ten days Zhou Huabao mentioned had passed. In the past five days, the students in the 15th Army camp had been doing trivial chores. They were either cooking every day, patrolling and guarding the camp gate, or helping the soldiers with laundry and equipment maintenance. In short, all the hard and tiring work was assigned to them, which made the students indignant. They all blamed Huang Lewei for their misdeeds.

Even the students who had fought alongside Huang Lewei turned against him, believing that they would not have followed him if he hadn't taken the lead. Only a dozen or so people stood on Huang Lewei's side and spoke up for him; these were all students who had come from the Demon Land Academy together.

It was precisely because someone was protecting him that the students became even more unhappy. Some of them would come over and kick over the wooden basin while Huang Lewei was washing clothes, then curse angrily before leaving. Others would pretend to accidentally knock over Huang Lewei's bowl while eating, just to deliberately annoy him, because there were rules in the army that you could only eat your fixed portion of food, and there was no more.

Even so, Huang Lewei said nothing, simply picking up his soiled clothes to wash again or quietly walking aside to avoid conflict. These actions were observed by the military adjutants who patrolled daily, and they reported the situation truthfully to Zhou Huabao.

After hearing this, Zhou Huabao simply said indifferently, "Let them be. Since he has become a brave man, he should be responsible for his actions."

In fact, Zhou Huabao did not want to step forward, but he simply could not. If he did step forward and defended Huang Lewei, he could only use Huang Lewei's performance on the battlefield as a reason. Wouldn't doing so be acknowledging the performance of these students? The students would definitely ask to go to the battlefield. If something went wrong, he would not be able to explain it to His Majesty and the commander-in-chief.

Moreover, it was precisely because of protecting these students that the number of casualties had increased. If he were to stand up for Huang Lewei again, the soldiers below would definitely not stand up for him. In the past few days, there have already been cases of soldiers and students fighting. Fortunately, the adjutant stopped them in time, preventing them from escalating. Now Zhou Huabao is in a dilemma, but with a formidable enemy at hand, the best solution, whether dealing with superiors or subordinates, is to let these child soldiers suffer enough before letting them leave. As for the rest, he doesn't want to care anymore.

But even though he didn't want to get involved, trouble still came knocking.

On the eighth day, several students had just returned from their shift at the camp gate when they saw Huang Lewei washing clothes. They went up to him and kicked over the wooden basin, spilling all the dirty water onto Huang Lewei. He was not in a hurry; he calmly picked up the basin and got up to refill it with water.

But those people didn't give up. One of them said to his companion in a mocking tone, "Hey, why do you guys think Huang Lewei loves to show off so much?"

"He wants to prove that he is different from us."

"So what if a third-tier piece of trash won the academy's martial arts competition? He's still just a third-tier piece of trash."

"Shh! They're demons, dual-elemental, and even at third rank they're stronger than us."

"So what if they're demons? A third-tier demon is just a third-tier demon, nothing but trash."

"Exactly, I think it's unclear whether he's an Imperial Demon or a Demon Kingdom Demon."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"You didn't know? I heard the army's been hunting down spies these past few days. Maybe he's one of those traitors sent by the Demon Kingdom, hahaha..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Huang Lewei threw a punch. Caught off guard, the man was struck squarely in the face and fell backward. A painful scream followed. His companion looked over and saw that the man's face was burned. The source of his pain was Huang Lewei's fire element.

Seeing that Huang Lewei was using elemental power to attack his companions, the group was furious and immediately used their elemental power as well, swarming around Huang Lewei and attacking him.

Despite being surrounded and beaten by multiple people, Huang Lewei refused to give in. Like a stubborn ox, he focused his attack on one person, ignoring the attacks from the others. Soon, the commotion attracted a crowd of soldiers. Seeing that it was a fight between several students, the soldiers not only did not intervene, but instead formed a circle and cheered, and even started betting.

The commotion quickly reached the ears of the adjutants, who rushed over. Carrying riding whips, they pushed through the wall of soldiers and arrived at the group of students who were beating each other. One adjutant kicked each of the students, who were grappling together, away. Then, one of the adjutants lashed the ground with his riding whip and shouted, "What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen anything like this before? Get back to your training!"

After being reprimanded, the soldiers who had been watching the commotion scattered like birds and beasts. The adjutant turned back to the separated students, pointed at them with his riding whip, and roared, "Fighting in the army, see how the general punishes you! Take them all away!"

The men were quickly dragged into the main tent and brought before Zhou Huabao. After listening to the adjutant's explanation, Zhou Huabao laughed heartily. After he had finished laughing, he asked slowly, "Why did you fight?"

Fearing punishment, several students quickly complained, "We had just finished our mission and were just passing by Huang Lewei when he suddenly attacked our companion and used elemental power. We were indignant, so we fought back."

"Oh? Huang Lewei, is that so? Why did you hit someone?" Zhou Huabao asked Huang Lewei again.

Huang Lewei remained silent, prompting his adjutant to say, "The general is asking you a question, why aren't you answering!"

After a long pause, Huang Lewei seemed to have come to a decision and finally said, "You should send me to the front lines instead."

These words surprised everyone present. Zhou Huabao asked, "Why? Are you so eager to go and die?"

"It's not about going to your death, it's about killing the enemy." Huang Lewei looked up at Zhou Huabao, and the ferocity in his eyes made Zhou Huabao tremble. He could feel the killing intent and hatred in Huang Lewei's eyes.

"Kill the enemy? With your abilities? Who can you kill? You can't even beat these kids around you, and you want to go into battle to kill the enemy?" Zhou Huabao said contemptuously.

Unexpectedly, Huang Lewei scoffed, "These few scoundrels and good-for-nothings aren't even worthy of fighting me."

Upon hearing this, the students were filled with resentment, but Zhou Huabao and his two lieutenants burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you're saying they're not worthy to fight you? Then why did you fight them?"

Huang Lewei remained silent for a short while before speaking: "I came here to fight on the battlefield, not to do menial tasks like washing clothes and cooking every day. If you refuse to let me fight, then I will join another military camp tomorrow, or go by myself."

"Insolence!!!" Zhou Huabao roared, "How dare you, a mere brat, discuss military affairs! And you want to join another army? You are a citizen of the empire, this is the empire's army camp, which army camp do you want to join? The Slivia Empire or the Delin Kingdom!?"

Clearly, Huang Lewei's words deeply provoked Zhou Huabao. In his mind, although the Slivia Empire and the Kingdom of Delin were now his allies, once the war ended, these two countries would become the empire's enemies again. In his view, Huang Lewei's words meant that he had thoughts of betraying his country and surrendering to the enemy, which was why he was so furious.

But Huang Lewei still insisted on his own way and said, "Then let me go on stage."

"Take him away and lock him in the prisoner-of-war cell. Send him back to Luowen County in two days!" Zhou Huabao was furious and ordered his adjutant to carry out his orders immediately.

As Huang Lewei was being led away, he remained calm and composed, following his adjutant. Several students couldn't help but chuckle, but Zhou Huabao noticed and, not one to tolerate it, roared, "What are you laughing at?! Get out of here and guard the camp until this time tomorrow!"
