Only moments after the emergency alert went out, Luca found himself confronting a problem he was quickly discovering he really, really didn't like.
Being caught between his responsibilities as Battalion Commander and his responsibilities as a friend who was absolutely going to make sure his guild members were safe... sucked.
It was like being caught between a rock and a hard place, especially when there were hundreds of cadets around him looking to him for guidance.
Luca didn't fault them for doing so. In fact, a part of him was genuinely happy that they trusted him enough to wait for his orders, considering how completely unheard of something like this would've been during his past life.
Unfortunately, that only made his current predicament harder.
Faced with two equally important responsibilities, how exactly was he supposed to choose between them?
He couldn't simply drag his entire battalion along while he went looking for his friends!
