The flames slowly contracted, revealing the cool-faced figure of the instructor in a colonel's uniform, Xie Yufei. She stood at attention and saluted the elder, saying loudly,
"Affiliated with Yan Huang War Zone Number Five, the First Division of the First Expeditionary Army, Deputy Battalion Commander of the Furious Flame Battalion, Colonel Xie Yufei, I have the honor to meet our forebear!"
The elder stared at her intently for a long moment before a smile suddenly spread across his face, growing wider and wider until he burst into hearty laughter.
A few seconds later, the smile disappeared and his expression became solemn again. He returned a salute that was slightly different and said in a grave voice,
"Earth United Nations Skyhawk Vanguard, Major General Keri!"
