This is an independent meeting of the mecha actual combat department of the college, and it is an organization that specializes in managing the affairs of the actual combat department, one of the more than ten branches of the Black Pan Academy. It is basically a grassroots meeting, but it has the power of life and death to decide the money.
"Nonoxiwa? After testing the mecha, it is true that the accident was not caused by a malfunction of the mecha, and there is no problem with the site identification. We should not be held responsible." A middle-aged woman wearing glasses nodded in agreement.
"I don't think it's appropriate." The teacher Hamm frowned. "According to the regulations of the General Academy, the colleges and departments should bear the basic medical expenses for the trauma suffered during the course. This is the basic insurance that students should pay for so much tuition every year."
"But now our department is short of funds, look at the nerve repair surgery written in this material." The instructor frowned and picked up a white paper of information and glanced at it. "The cost of this operation is not small. If paid in full, it may affect the distribution of performance bonuses this year."
"The instructor is right."
"The liability claim is not on our side anyway. It really shouldn't be our compensation."
"I agree with the chief instructor's proposal."
All the people present here are teachers and instructors of the departments, and they are the most basic teachers of the college. When they heard that their own interests were involved, they immediately spoke up.
Teacher Ham looked a little ugly.
"Isn't that right? It's a flagrant violation of the General Court's regulations."
"Regulations are dead, but people are alive. Without funding regulations, it's just a piece of waste paper. It's not that we don't do anything, but we really don't have the ability." The deputy instructor shrugged helplessly.
"That's right, Teacher Ham, you can't affect the lives of everyone present just because of one student in your class?" Someone said dissatisfied.
Harm scanned the surroundings, and his eyes finally fell on the face of the instructor chief Dylan.
"He was injured in the course assessment. Is it true that the academy is going to let him fend for himself like this without paying attention? This will chill the hearts of all the students in the school?" he said loudly.
Instructor Dylan frowned slightly.
"Ham, you have to remember that we are a black disk college, Chilling? What's so chilling? Some people want to get in with their heads sharpened, and the chilling people will get out by themselves. Survival of the fittest, natural selection, This is the highest school motto of the General Academy."
"I don't agree with your statement!" Hamm said loudly. "Since the enrollment contract was signed at the beginning, we have to take part of the responsibility for the students! Even the basic personal safety cannot be guaranteed. If the students of the academy know about it, the consequences will be disastrous!" He tried to continue to persuade the instructor.
"Okay, needless to say, that's the allocation for this time." Dylan, the chief instructor, raised his hand and exchanged glances with several conference representatives beside him.
"Master!" Hamm stood up abruptly.
"Needless to say." Dylan glanced at him lightly, "The following is the second item. There is an order from above. Recently, a criminal wanted by the Federation may pass by our black market. After everyone returns, tell the students to be careful when going out. , and avoid going to some troublesome places, regarding the establishment of a branch campus in the East Campus, the last plan can be brought forward.”
Feeling angry, Ham scanned the audience and found that several teachers who were familiar with him on weekdays avoided his sight. Immediately my heart trembled.
"good very good!"
With a fire in his heart, he turned and left.

hospital corridor
"The operation fee can't be delayed." The doctor frowned and said to the teacher Ham, "It's been two weeks. If you delay it, it will be too late for the operation. Haven't your funds arrived yet?"
Hamm grimaced and nodded.
"If this continues, the situation will probably get worse and worse. The child's nerves cannot be repaired in time, and he may even have problems walking in the future." The doctor became impatient. "In the beginning we agreed to prepare for the surgical measures for the sake of your black disk college, but now the payment has not been received for so long, and the time for our pre-ordered medicines is coming, what do you want us to do?"
Hamm was silent. He has been teaching for so many years, and the most promising ones in the class are the first place Faberie and the third place Nonosiva. Now an outstanding student who may become a real mech master in the future may be due to surgery fees at any time. And delaying for a lifetime, even he felt very uncomfortable. This kind of encounter made him vaguely recall the experience he had encountered before. At that time, no one supported him, and he relied on him to survive alone. However, the result was that his life was saved, but his original consciousness was severely injured. It dropped by more than half, and in the end he could only retire and come to the college as an ordinary teacher.
"Trust me." He took a deep breath and suddenly made up his mind. "The money will come down soon, I will go to urge it, and it should be in place tomorrow!"
"Are you sure?" The doctor was a little disbelieving.
"Sure! Get ready for surgery!" Hamm lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
Anyway, it's not the first time, who cares! Isn't it just to smoke less cigarettes and save some money
He simply calmed down.
"Okay, I'll trust you again." The doctor and him are also acquaintances, and nodded, "Then I'll go and inform the operating room first. By the way, smoking is prohibited here!"
"good."
Ham nodded. He slammed the cigarette butt out on the trash can next to him.
*************
Garen was lying in the ward, still unable to speak, he could only make uh-uh sounds, and it was okay to blink his eyes, but he couldn't do anything else.
The damage to this body is too deep, and there is no way to repair it in a short time.
Beside him, his younger brother was carefully peeling a white pear.
Garen couldn't move, so he could only wait for the soul seed to recover naturally. Looking at this younger brother named A Lun, his face had lost a lot of the original timidity, but a little more confidence.
"Brother, you need to get better soon. You are hospitalized every day, and the hospital expenses are very expensive. The family's income is not good recently." The younger brother muttered in a low voice, like a little housekeeper.
This guy is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he looks like he is stunted. He is only twelve or thirteen years old. His black hair hangs down to cover most of his face, and he likes to lower his head and wear big-rimmed glasses. , I can't see his face clearly at all, his skin is kind of sickly pale.
It gives people the feeling of shrinking and shrinking, not like a man at all!
For this, he was often beaten and scolded by Nuonuoxiwa, who disliked him and lost his face. But the younger brother never resisted.
Unexpectedly, this younger brother who was often bullied in the past is now the one who takes care of him the most, even the other younger sister is far behind him.
"What's his name?" Garen thought to himself. "Aaron? Keren? Or something else?"
He didn't absorb many soul fragments from Nonosiva, so many things are not very clear now.
There is only something to be gained from it every time the family comes over and there are siblings gossiping.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The younger brother stood up and whispered.
With a hiss, the door opened slightly, and the teacher Ham walked in.
"The operation is going to be done tomorrow, Nuonuo, get ready." He looked at Nuonuo on the hospital bed in a deep voice.
Garen blinked to show that he understood.
"The college's medical expenses have been reimbursed successfully. After the operation, there is still a period of recuperation. You should recuperate in the hospital and don't think about anything else. With your progress, there are many things that you don't need to worry about." Hamm tried his best to let himself His tone became softer, although he was indeed not very comforting.
"Thank you, Uncle Ham." The younger brother at the side hurriedly bowed to express his thanks, but he just spoke a little louder, and his face and neck were flushed.
"Your name is Belen, good boy." Hamm patted his younger brother on the shoulder and nodded, "Okay, I have to go back to the academy first, so take good care of your brother."
"I know." Beren's voice was knotted.
"It's okay for a man to be too shy!" Hamm was amused by Belen.
After Hamm left, Beren closed the door and let out an uncontrollable cheer.
"The operation fee has finally come down!" He returned to the hospital bed, "Thanks to Uncle Hamm!"
Garen blinked and agreed.
"Brother, you will recover soon." Beren said seriously. But when he saw Garen's gaze moving over to stare at him, he shrank his head in fear, obviously recalling Nonoxiwa's bad temper before.
After receiving the good news, Garen also breathed a sigh of relief.
He can indeed heal this body, but the consumption of the soul-seed is too great, the gain outweighs the loss, and it takes a long time. Now that he has surgical assistance, he should be able to restore health as quickly as possible and control the body.
But he also saw something in Teacher Ham's eyes just now, there seemed to be something hidden about the medical expenses.
In the afternoon, my parents rushed back, paid the hospitalization fee with a tired face, rested in the hospital bed for a while, and told my younger brother Beren to take good care of him. After knowing that the operation fee was reimbursed, the whole family was very happy and breathed a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, the younger sister seemed to be afraid of Nuonuo, so she didn't come here much. I heard from her parents that she likes to run outside recently, and she doesn't know what she is doing. They have been busy working overtime recently and have no time to care about her, as long as she goes home on time to eat and sleep every day.
Everything is going in a good direction.
***********************
The cold moonlight at night shrouded the entire Heipan City in a silver veil.
A certain night market street in Heipan City
A magnetic levitation car kept gliding across the street, its headlights flickering. On the sidewalks on both sides, you can occasionally see drunken men swaying and scurrying around, humming a mess of ditties.
Between the black street buildings, a dozen or so black figures can be vaguely seen flashing away, jumping between the black buildings at a very fast speed.
Every time these black shadows fall, they will not leave a sound on the roof or the building walls, but just like a spider, gently falling and attaching, then falling off lightly, and jumping in another direction.
They leaped and shuttled in the sky, and no one saw them in the pedestrians and vehicles below.
"Attention to distraction!"
One of the jumping shadows heard a voice.
"Mind yourself!"
It used the device in its hand to attach to the wall with one hand, and looked around. After burning, he leaped and slammed directly into the glass window of the opposite building.
Crash! !
The piercing siren sounded suddenly, and the red light flashed all over the floor.
The black shadow rolled a few times to avoid the laser red line scanning, dodged lightly and silently like a civet cat, and came to a safe. He stretched out his hand and popped out a thin needle, stabbing directly towards the safe.
