When Thirteen arrived at the barracks, he was welcomed with the sight of all soldiers lined up to welcome him.
Erica, who was seated beside him, looked at this grand welcome with a faint smile on her face.
Although she knew that the soldiers were there to welcome Zion, and not her, she still felt proud because the teenage boy's achievements were also her achievements.
At least, that was what she believed.
When Thirteen disembarked from the Humvee, he gave everyone a salute.
"At ease," Thirteen ordered before heading straight towards the barracks without looking back.
Truth be told, he was still very exhausted from the Final Trial and simply wished to rest for a day or two to fully recover.
However, he knew that he had responsibilities, so he decided to endure until he was done talking to the Field Marshal, and the Grand Marshal.
