The two old generals didn’t leave the island until the next day.
Logan spent the whole night engraving more than thirty [Fatigue Aura] stones for the two old n.
At the sa ti, he gave each of them one engraved [Protection of Blood Cultivation Realm] stone, as a gift.
The gift made the two old n extrely happy, and they left Star Lake with big smiles on their faces.
As for the soldiers they brought, they got up before sunrise and started running around Star Lake, just like they were still in a military camp.
Even when they saw Logan, Jessica, Sawako, and Yelena, they politely saluted and called them "Sir"!
Natalia watched the soldiers change so much and secretly gave Logan a thumbs-up.
At this mont, Logan called Macon, Toren, and Marcel into the temple hall.
The three of them were no longer arrogant like the day before. They stood straight in front of Logan.
Seeing their respectful attitude, Logan smiled and gave them their first order: to return to being soldiers.
Although their faces showed a little sadness when they heard the decision, they still accepted it honestly.
Logan saw this and told them to gather all the soldiers. He wanted to make an announcent in front of everyone.
The soldiers quickly gathered in front of Logan. He reorganized them, and completely removed the old ideas of classes and companies from the military camp.
"Now, you are no longer soldiers from the camp. You are now investigators of the Inspection Bureau," Logan said, looking at each old soldier seriously. "You always said you wanted to avenge Bell Major. Do you even know who his enemy is? You don’t!"
At this point, Logan pulled out a long sword and stuck it in the ground. He said coldly, "Not only do you not know who Bell Major’s enemy is, you also couldn’t even protect his family and his friends! Soldiers face the battlefield. Investigators face the traps and tricks in the dark corners. If you really want to avenge Bell Major, from today on, learn how to be a real investigator."
As soon as Logan finished speaking, many of the old soldiers started crying.
They felt deep sha for not being able to protect Bell Major and his friends’ families.
Now, everyone understood that their identity was no longer that of soldiers, but of investigators who chased the truth and caught the criminals!
Logan saw the look of realization on everyone’s face and continued: "From now on, our Inspection Bureau will set up eight teams to monitor the whole Human Federation. The team leaders and deputy leaders will be chosen based on ability. No matter what military honors or ranks you had before, in the Inspection Bureau, everyone starts as an investigator."
After saying that, Logan announced the first round of the deputy leader selection plan.
For the next month, all investigators must sign up to learn the core skills of the eight teams.
Team One will monitor the noble families and the City Lords of the main cities.
Team Two will monitor the Federal Parliant’s Senate and the Judgent Court, two of the most powerful institutions.
Team Three will monitor the Military Committee and key officials in each city’s guard force.
Team Four will manage intelligence files, recruit agents, and provide research and support for operations.
Team Five will study rune arrays, alchemy, dicine, and supply weapons and equipnt.
Team Six will arrest criminals and also protect important people.
Team Seven will manage prisons, interrogate serious criminals, and carry out punishnts.
Team Eight will carry out special missions assigned by the head of the Inspection Bureau.
As the old soldiers saw the standards for each team, they all looked shocked.
"We only know how to fight. We never learned to track people. Isn’t this a bit too hard?"
"I stamr when I talk. How can I gather intelligence? I don’t have that ability."
"Also, our familiars were all made for battlefield contracts. Now that we’re detectives, these familiars don’t fit anymore."
...
Logan heard the complaints and the people trying to back out, so he clapped his hands and stopped the noise.
Then, Rebecca arrived in front of everyone, escorted by Sophia and Lucia.
Seeing Bell Major’s family again, all the soldiers’ complaints and grumbling disappeared instantly.
Logan quietly made up his mind and then publicly showed everyone a list of supplies.
It included all kinds of skills, familiars, and potions, clearly priced in points. Everything was taken by Logan through Barzini and others.
He promised all the old soldiers a 5,000-point loan, interest-free and no installnts. It would be taken from their future wages at 5% per month.
When they heard the news, the old soldiers all got excited.
They saw that even a B-level 5-star familiar only cost 500 points.
That ant they could completely replace all their familiars.
Even better, they could spend 1,500 points to get advanced familiar tar training thods.
These thods were usually worth billions of Federation Credits on the market, but Logan was selling them to these soldiers like they were just vegetables.
Now, even Macon, Toren, and Marcel were all moved to tears, wiping their noses and eyes.
"My God, I thought I’d never have enough money to make a fifth familiar contract. Is this a dream?"
"Ugh, Director! You’re like a father to us! I’ll repay your kindness with the rest of my life!"
"Besides General Bell, I now respect soone else the most — that’s our director!"
...
As everyone cheered, Logan quietly walked over to Rebecca.
These days, he hadn’t had ti to talk to her properly.
Now that he had the chance, he wanted to protect her and give her the safety she needed — the kind her brother couldn’t.
"You’re also part of the Inspection Bureau now." he said.
Rebecca looked surprised, but then her eyes dimd. "But I’m just a high school student. I’m afraid I can’t do it well..."
Logan smiled and shook his head. "No one is good at everything from the start. You don’t know how yet, but you can learn. I need you to help — to avenge your brother."
When Logan ntioned Bell, Rebecca clenched her fists and nodded seriously.
Then, Logan led her to Sophia and Lucia and asked with a smile, "Can I ask you two a favor? Let Rebecca have a little special treatnt. She deserves to be trained at the Genius Training Camp."
Sophia rolled her eyes. "Logan, you really are a rule-breaker. You never go to the training camp yourself, but now you want to send Rebecca in?"
Logan rubbed his nose awkwardly. "Okay, how about this — I’ll start going every day. And Rebecca can sit in on the classes with . That should be fine, right?"
When Logan said he was going to attend class, Lucia stood up imdiately and refused, "No way! If you go, what’s left for the other students? You’re way too strong. Your presence would just hurt their fragile self-esteem."
Logan heard that and just shrugged, giving Sophia a helpless look: "Can’t help it. My strength just doesn’t allow to take the class. I’ll just send Rebecca to represent instead."
Sophia, hearing Logan’s shaless words, slapped her forehead and suggested: "It’s not allowed by the rules, but we really respect Bell Major. Lucia and I don’t mind taking Rebecca as our student. You don’t have a problem with that, right?"
Logan of course happily agreed. He picked up both Sophia and Lucia, and the three of them spun around in the air three tis before landing.
But while Rebecca’s problem was solved, Logan still had his own to deal with.
Sophia crossed her arms, watching with a smug look, and nudged Lucia.
Lucia looked at Logan and smiled, "Logan, you can skip the next part of the Genius Training Camp."
"Uh...?" Logan was shocked. His familiar space was full of supplies waiting to be exchanged for treasures at the Genius Training Camp.
Sophia saw his expression and reminded him: "Any treasures inside the Genius Training Camp that you want to use yourself can be picked anyti."
"Is that really true?" Logan didn’t believe in free gifts, and imdiately beca suspicious.
Lucia saw that, and laughed as she wrapped her arm around Logan’s neck, "According to the rules of the Genius Training Camp, the top student each ti can choose one Saint-level expert as their teacher. Logan, are you choosing or Sophia?"
Hearing that, Logan was a bit surprised. "Are you two trying to bribe and want to take as your student?"
Sophia laughed and nodded, "To be honest, it’s Lucia who wants you to call her ’teacher’. She has a unique little habit!"
Logan was stunned for a mont.
He just realized, did Sophia and Lucia both have the ability to beco Saint-level familiar tars?
That would an they had already reached the Legend-stage 5 stars strength years ago?
As Logan was still thinking, Lucia’s voice ca again, urging him, "Well? Have you decided? If you pick , Sophia can teach you too."
Her words were clear and tempting, and Logan felt sothing was off.
Just as he was about to agree without thinking, Natalia’s voice suddenly ca from behind him: "Sorry, Logan already promised to be my student."
