Noah stared at his phone screen, re-reading the message for the tenth time as his friends looked on with expectant faces.
"The Supreme General?" Sophie whispered, her eyes wide. "Not just someone from the Ark, but the Supreme General himself?"
"What does it say?" Kelvin asked, practically bouncing with curiosity.
Noah looked up, his mind racing to connect the dots. "The Supreme General is the leader of the EDF stationed on the Ark. While you all got messages from the Ark's administration, I got a personal summons from the Supreme General himself."
Lucas's eyebrow arched slightly—the closest he ever came to showing surprise. "That's... unprecedented."
"It must be because of your reawakening," Sophie reasoned. "An SSS-ranked talent with void manipulation abilities? That's exactly the kind of asset they'd want personal control over."
Noah nodded slowly. "The message says I'm to report to the Eastern Launch Facility in 48 hours. No explanation beyond that."
