"nothing special?"
Before the young instructor could continue, the middle-aged man who was standing alone in a small corner suddenly spoke in a deep voice. His voice was deep and hoarse, and he snorted coldly, pointed at him and said, "Come on, show these blind guys my detailed data on the schedule!"
The young instructor quickly responded: "Yes, Adjutant Wang!"
The speaker's name is Wang Jian.
One of the deputy commanders of the Silver Dragon Headquarters, he is the person whose voice in Silver Dragon is second only to the commander-in-chief, the third prince Mu Ziyu. Although he has been drinking and indulging himself in recent years, when he is really needed to do something, he can always complete it perfectly and unexpectedly.
Moreover, he had led his troops to repel a tribe that tried to invade the empire in the early days, and subdued them so that the empire could study and cultivate them for trial use. Several years ago, he also saved the third prince Mu Ziyu from the hands of the devil tribe, and lost his right leg permanently for this, so even if he was a jerk on weekdays, Mu Ziyu didn't have the heart to remove him from his official position.
Others also respected him.
When I heard him speak, I didn't dare to be negligent and immediately corrected my attitude.
They were actually quite puzzled inside.
Wang Jian, who is in such a high position, would not lower himself to supervise the assessment of new students. They were not sure whether Mu Ziyu's patience with him had finally reached its limit and he began to send him such low-level tasks as a warning.
Several people have different thoughts.
Until his eyes fell on the light board handed to him by the young instructor, his eyes suddenly widened like bells, and then he began to frown in suspicion.
Wang Jian said a lot today: "Such a perfect score control behavior proves that he has a very good perception, control and calculation of the surrounding things! The last time a student showed such talent was a student like Lu Cheng."
"And then? It proves that he is indeed capable of accurately locking onto the source crystals of invasive species in actual combat! Such a talent, once trained well, can become an excellent leader on the battlefield! Isn't this special enough and in line with the Third Prince's expectations?!"
Wang Jian became more and more excited as he spoke, and even his neck turned red.
Everyone was stunned by his yelling. While they felt that it made sense, they were also a little confused.
—How could Adjutant Wang, who is such a Buddhist and carefree person, be so excited and concerned about the affairs of the eldest son of the Xu family
They are all from the Silver Dragon Camp, do they know each other
Wang Jian didn't care what they thought, he just said what he wanted to say: "If you are not satisfied with this, go find other good seedlings and don't waste their time! Let's see who else can surprise us so much in just one month!"
There was an inexplicable hint of pride in his tone.
However, after a group of people looked down at Xu Qingran's data, they felt that they could understand Wang Jian's rare excitement. Those who were picked out of the academy were all good seedlings in the entire empire, but to be able to stand out among a bunch of seedlings, one must have certain abilities.
What's more, Xu Qingran is also a student from the Silver Dragon Camp. After graduation, he might be assigned to work for the Silver Dragon. As the deputy commander of the Silver Dragon, it is normal for Wang Jian to feel proud!
At the trial site.
After Xu Qingran came down, he didn't even look back to check the detailed data recorded by the college system. After confirming the total time, he planned to leave. He turned around and glanced around, but suddenly found that Feng Wei, who always liked to follow him and yell, was not there.
Later we learned that Feng Wei was attacked and injured the night before and could not even take part in the assessment.
When Xu Qingran arrived at the clinic and saw his condition, he was very surprised.
"Young Master, are you here to see me?!" Feng Wei, who was originally depressed, became energetic instantly when he saw him appear. "I am so touched. This proves that you really treat me as a friend!"
The problem Feng Wei encountered was similar to his, both were attacked by the mental suppression spray. However, it was more serious than his, with bruises all over his arms and face, purple patches here and there, and he looked very miserable.
One of his eyes was swollen and bandaged, instantly turning him into a one-eyed wolf.
Xu Qingran said, "I heard that you couldn't even do the assessment, so I wanted to see how miserable you are."
Feng Wei grinned and started talking again: "I heard that the young master also encountered the same thing as me last night?"
"Then that bad guy is obviously coming for us two outstanding students!"
"Fortunately, young master, you were not affected and were able to take the test."
"How abominable! Do you think he is a student from our class? He resorts to dirty tricks when he can't beat him!"
"It's hard to say." Xu Qingran said suddenly.
He doesn't know about other people, he is only speaking from his own experience.
If it was an AS-level classmate in the same class, he would not be unaware of his surroundings even if he was relaxed. To be able to conceal the aura to the point where he could hardly sense it through mental power, one would need to have a higher level of mental pool than his current body, and at least a double S.
Feng Wei yelled and wailed: "Alas, who knew that in a top university like Grandis, there would be such a petty-minded student."
"There's nothing I can do. The instructor said that in my situation I can only wait until the end of the year to take the make-up exam."
"Just make up the exam, it's easy anyway."
Then he asked, "By the way, young master, how were your test results today?"
"I'm not here, so you should be the one with the best grades in your class, right?"
Xu Qingran stared at him for a few seconds, then curled his lips and said, "No, I just barely met the passing standard."
Feng Wei's expression was even more disappointed than his own: "Alas, it's all because of that damn sneak attacker!"
At this moment, a military doctor happened to come over and interrupted their conversation.
The other party said to Feng Wei in a pleasant tone, "Mr. Feng, when I was checking you just now, I found that your soul showed signs of fluctuation. It is estimated that it will enter the final stage within 1-2 months."
"During this period, you may need to come to the infirmary at least once a week. If your condition is too bad, we will consider using a mental suppressant spray on you."
"Ah? Come on, I'm already traumatized by this thing..."
Xu Qingran left quietly.
The assessment of the first project was successfully completed.
Xu Qingran achieved the target in an unusual way, which was also recognized from a unique perspective. After a student from the previous class learned about his "carefully" planned test results, he sneered and said that he could do it too. As a result, after playing for a week, he could not accurately control the score in any level.
As a result, the voices mocking Xu Qingran gradually disappeared.
The days in the military academy were more boring than I had imagined.
There was only one day of rest between the end of each learning project and the beginning of a new course. During this period, Xu Qingran was almost disconnected from the outside world and devoted himself to training and improving himself, enjoying it very much.
There was just a small incident in the middle.
Not long after Feng Wei resumed training with his class, the school found the person who had framed them. In fact, in addition to them, several other classmates were also attacked. The college enrolls many new students, and such problems always occur every year. No matter how much defense they take, they can always find various loopholes to attack their classmates.
However, when Xu Qingran learned the identity of the person who did it, he was surprised.
First, the other person was actually the classmate who lived on the same dormitory floor as him and who had previously gently reminded him to be cautious in making friends with Feng Wei.
Second, the little classmate's mental pool is only A-level, which doesn't match what he felt when he fought that day. Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party used special banned drugs.
He questioned the instructor, but the instructor said that the student himself admitted it.
On the day when the young student packed his bags and was expelled from the college, he knocked on his dormitory door on purpose.
As soon as Xu Qingran opened the door, he saw his eyes, which were as red as a rabbit's. He bent down and apologized to him solemnly: "I'm sorry, classmate Xu, I betrayed your trust. I shouldn't have hit you just because I envied and was jealous of you."
As the little classmate spoke, tears began to well up in his eyes again, and he looked as pitiful as possible.
Xu Qingran's expression was still as cold as usual, and his heart seemed to be made of stone, without a trace of sympathy.
After a few seconds of silence, he talked about another thing: "The spray can only be obtained in the infirmary, and our luggage has been strictly screened before entering the school, and it is even more impossible for contraband to be released."
"So I'm curious, how did you manage to steal the stuff from the infirmary with so many locked doors?"
The little classmate was trembling all over, I don’t know if he was afraid or something.
After a long time, he still did not answer Xu Qingran's question. He just shed tears and gritted his teeth and said again: "I'm sorry."
Xu Qingran suddenly curled the corners of his mouth and laughed with an ambiguous meaning.
His tone was cold and indifferent: "Are you sure that the person you should apologize to is me?"
The young student was stunned when he heard this, and when he looked up again, the door of Dormitory 6038 had been slammed shut.
There seemed to be a hint of disappointment mixed in with the huge noise.
He stood outside the door motionless for a few minutes before finally wiping his tears and leaving dejectedly.
In the college, there are often people who fall behind and leave school.
Some of them were unable to keep up due to various reasons such as physical fitness and could not bear the high-pressure training, and some of them seriously violated discipline. There were too many people in the school, so most of the time, no one would notice their sad exit.
A few months passed by unknowingly.
Just as the military doctor said, Feng Wei, whose mind was jumping, also welcomed the finalization of his soul after more than two months. However, his soul was finally fixed at the N type (Normal Type) that most people have.
The common type is possessed by more than 90% of the population.
They have unlimited development possibilities in any field, and the only difference between them is the level of their spiritual pool. As long as they can reach 3S, they can still become the top in each field.
He didn't become the expected E-type, and his spirit pool was capped at 3S. Xu Qingran didn't know what Feng Wei was thinking, and he didn't try to comfort him. Anyway, from the surface, he didn't seem to be too dissatisfied, he just felt regretful.
Feng Wei found joy in the midst of hardship: "It doesn't matter. At least this way we won't be tired of each other in the future."
"When you become an E-type, you must protect me well!"
Xu Qingran smiled but said nothing.
Over the past few months, he rotated and studied a number of projects.
They all started from the basics, including learning combat skills, close combat techniques, etc. These were the basics for others, but for Xu Qingran, it was simply a pursuit of excellence. After the project evaluation, all of them were crushing results.
Putting aside mental strength, even 3S Feng Wei might not be able to defeat him on a basic level.
The instructors who were told to keep a special eye on him gradually became satisfied. After receiving the report, the third prince Mu Ziyu was very happy and decided to give him a special "reward".
"… What?"
In the office, Xu Qingran sat face to face with the dean. His calm expression became slightly stunned after he heard what he said.
Immediately, he frowned: "I don't understand, what does your plan to give me benefits have to do with letting Lu Cheng be my mentor to guide me?"
Are you sure it's a reward, not a punishment
The dean smiled and said, "That's right. Aren't you going to start the project course on the use of mental weapons and guns soon? This is the foundation that you need to master as a qualified sergeant, and it is a skill that an excellent officer needs to improve to the maximum extent."
"Major General Lu Cheng is the most promising person in our Silver Dragon Battalion in recent years. He is an expert in the use of mental weapons. Your performance during this period meets the standards of a specially invited student, so he was arranged to give you special training. How can this not be considered a benefit?"
The sincere smile on the dean's face made Xu Qingran extremely suspicious whether these high-ranking military officers had never heard of the gossip between him and Lu Cheng.
Also, after just a few months of no contact with the outside world, I found out that Lu Cheng got promoted
It seems that he is doing quite well.
After thinking about it, Xu Qingran asked again: "I remember that the students in the military academy did not divide into camps during their studies."
"Although I come from the Silver Dragon Camp, my welfare mentor must be from the Silver Dragon Camp?"
The dean didn't know how to answer for a moment.
That was true, but the academy rules were set by the royal family, and the third prince certainly would not make wedding clothes for his mortal enemy. Lu Cheng was arranged in the hope that he could use this trustworthy general to win over Xu Qingran and ensure that he would choose the Silver Dragon Camp after graduation.
As the person who sent the special invitation letter to Xu Qingran, Mu Ziyu did have the power to make a mandatory decision, but what he wanted was absolute obedience. He didn't want to use that privilege unless it was necessary.
The dean hesitated for a moment and said, "It really has nothing to do with faction."
"I'll tell you the truth. This is all arranged by the Third Prince. As the highest commander of the Silver Dragon Camp, he will of course only select the mentors he arranges for you from his own camp. In other words, the Gold Wing Camp has no intention of arranging any benefits for you, and I have no other choice."
The tone was somewhat like advising him not to be ungrateful.
After listening to this, Xu Qingran laughed.
He immediately stood up: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he left the dean's office.
When Xu Qingran came out of the college office building, the sun outside had already half sunk into the horizon.
It is winter now.
Although it didn't snow much on the continent of the Blue Star Academy headquarters, the temperature was still very low. The classmates I met on the road were all wearing down jackets and holding thermos cups filled with hot water.
It was already dark when I returned to the dormitory.
There was a small iron box lying on the desk.
These two days are the days when you can receive your cell phone and communicator for contacting the outside world at the end of the month. Today is the last day, and in the dormitory and the corridor, there are students talking to their families or hanging out with their partners.
At this time of every month, Xu Qingran received some things, but he rarely opened them.
Occasionally, when he took it out to charge, he would just surf the Internet. He was not outside, Xingya Forum and the Internet were quite quiet, and the hot searches had nothing to do with the people and things he was familiar with.
He took a look, took out the communicator, and left the dormitory again.
Xu Qingran came to the empty cafeteria, filled a cup of hot water to dispel the coldness on his body, and dialed someone's number.
Unlike previous times, this time the communication was connected after a long time.
It was very quiet on the other side, with only some tiny noises. It should be a relatively peaceful and safe space.
Xu Qingran drank water and did not break the silence first.
Until the person on the other side said, "Hmm?"
The ending tone is long and sounds seductively lazy, just like someone just woke up from sleep.
But at this time, he should not have gone to bed yet.
"Shen Tingyu." Xu Qingran finally spoke, his tone was gentle, "Long time no see."
The person on the other side chuckled: "It's been quite a long time."
Then he said, "I don't think you called me because you missed me, right?"
Xu Qingran raised the corner of his mouth silently.
"It's something." He replied, "What do you think of me?"
The other side paused for a few seconds.
After taking a deep breath, he asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Qingran raised his eyebrows: "As a candidate for joining the military."
"Apart from the mental pool level, it's excellent in all aspects." The person on the other end of the communicator answered truthfully, "including mental power, which is still a little lacking."
The feeling of hot water going down my throat is very comfortable.
Xu Qingran squinted his eyes like a lazy cat: "What if I promise to raise my spirit pool to level 3S?"
Shen Tingyu added: "That's a perfect seedling."
Xu Qingran nodded in satisfaction: "So General Shen, are you willing to condescend and take some time to guide this young man of mine?"
The other party was silent for a while, and did not delve into the reason for his request. He just asked calmly: "What benefits can I get?"
Xu Qingran lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said confidently, "Well, I'll give you a golden ticket to avoid death."
"When I am more capable than you in the future and I am so angry that I want to kill you, I will consider this favor and not kill you."
Shen Tingyu laughed angrily.
Scold him: "Xu Qingran, you are quite shameless."
Xu Qingran accepted this evaluation and explained: "I heard from the dean today that the Third Prince of the Empire will arrange for Lu Cheng to come here to take charge of several subsequent learning projects for me. Although I don't know what the people in the Silver Dragon Camp think, I also want to try the people and environment of the Golden Wing."
Maybe he'll decide to change jobs.
After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, I don't necessarily need to bother you. If your subordinates, such as Xie Nanjun, are free, that's fine too. Just consider it a favor. If you need my help in the future, I can even agree to murder or arson."
Mainly, I don't want to give the dean too much face.
There was no response from the other side for a long while.
Just when he was wondering if he had really pissed someone off, he suddenly heard a muffled groan and bursts of suppressed gasps.
Xu Qingran: “?”
Suddenly, strange and unhealthy images flashed through my mind.
He was silent for a moment, and only found his voice after a long time: "... Am I disturbing you from doing some harmony exercise?"
Perhaps considering that this person was still a target that he could not avoid, there was a hint of anger in his tone when he asked.
In the Shen family's study, Shen Tingyu closed his eyes for a long time before he opened them again.
He smiled helplessly: "No, I just got sick."
Thanks to Ming Hai's attack, his already problematic mental state became even worse. During this period, he was forced to perform excessive tasks by a high-ranking commander-in-chief. When he just finished taking a shower and wanted to get the inhibitor, he accidentally passed out.
If Xu Qingran hadn't sent him a communication request, he might have stayed on the floor for a while longer.
Perhaps after a short rest, Shen Tingyu's severe pain in his body was slightly relieved.
He stood up and walked to the metal cabinet where the medicines were placed, took out the last inhibitor inside, and while injecting it into the body skillfully, he replied to Xu Qingran: "I see, I just need to go there too."
He had been postponing his request to teach at Grandis Military Academy for several months, and it was time to pass.
and-
Shen Tingyu glanced at the email page on the computer screen on the desk.
The eldest prince Mu Ziyue found out about Xu Qingran from somewhere, and seemed to have secretly sent people to follow up on his situation in the military academy. He also sent a new order, asking him to contact Xu Qingran, and it would be best if he could snatch him away from Mu Ziyu.
However, the thought of Xu Qingran owing him a favor made him a little tempted.
So he didn't plan to tell him about this.
"Is there no cure for the problem with your mental pool?" Shen Tingyu heard Xu Qingran's hesitant question just after he injected the inhibitor.
"Not in the medical field yet." Shen Tingyu said, smiling, "But there may be in the metaphysical field."
Xu Qingran: “?”
He had just thrown his empty water cup into the cafeteria's automatic washing machine and was immediately confused when he heard this answer.
—Can this kind of interstellar future background world be related to metaphysics
Then I heard Shen Tingyu add: "It is said that if I find a compatible high-level D-type partner, he can cure my illness."
Xu Qingran pushed open the door and started back towards the dormitory, thinking, so that's how it is.
He learned a little more about these D and E types during his studies at the academy.
It is said that the signs of a D-type person before becoming a type D are that they become gentle and soft, have no temper, and emit some kind of divine aura. Anyway, he tried to apply it to himself, and considering that he had beaten several people to the point where they were almost unable to take care of themselves not long ago, he naturally removed himself from the possibility of becoming a D-type.
Therefore, I send the most sincere blessing to Shen Tingyu: "As a thank you, I wish General Shen to find the right D-type soon."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tingyu replied, "What a vicious curse."
Even Type E people who are sober refuse to find a partner, let alone the restrictive Type D.
He lowered his eyes and smiled without any emotion, and said firmly: "Even if I die of illness, I can't be bound to a D-type for the rest of my life."
Xu Qingran was not surprised.
This is in line with Shen Tingyu's personality.
As soon as midnight arrived, the dormitory machine manager came up on time and took away the small iron box.
The next day, Xu Qingran and his classmates started a new course. Because there were situations where a wider learning area was needed in case of accidental injuries, this course required taking a plane to another continent on the same planet.
Most areas there have retained a very natural and original environment, and are surrounded by very high iron walls, as if there are some dangerous creatures inside that need to be prevented from escaping to the base where humans gather.
Feng Wei, who knew more, told him: "This place is called Linglong City. What you see now is only a part of this continent. There is actually a large underground base underneath."
"Inside, they specialize in studying and breeding some alien species that invaded the empire in history. Some species reproduce quickly, most of them in the form of splitting, which is very suitable for students to use as objects for actual combat training."
Xu Qingran followed a professional instructor and began to get in touch with guns used to fight alien species.
Then he found that this thing was harder to control than he expected. Because he had no experience using it for the first time, every time he fired a shot, the impact on his mental pool was particularly strong, and his vision was spinning.
It wasn't just him, every student in the same class group found it difficult to adapt.
In addition to being of noble birth, those who have had the opportunity to come into contact with relevant instruments since childhood are relatively stable.
On the other side, Lu Cheng arrived at the academy base three days later.
But he didn't expect that there was another person who came here on the same day as him, whom he didn't really want to meet.
In the office, the dean looked at the two big Buddhas sitting opposite the desk. One had an extremely gloomy face, while the other still had a polite smile on his face. The powerful aura made him feel a little breathless.
He knew the various grievances between the two parties, but he could only pretend to be ignorant and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come back to the academy and provide additional practical teaching to the students."
Lu Cheng didn't say anything.
Shen Tingyu spoke in a gentle voice: "You are too polite, Dean, but before I give you any instructions, I have a request from our commander-in-chief."
"He later watched the video of the entrance examination and was impressed by the ability of one student. He hoped to add him to my teaching group."
After hearing this, Lu Cheng tightened his fists slightly.
I have an inexplicable ominous feeling.
The dean nodded: "Can I ask first, which student it is?"
Shen Tingyu smiled and replied: "It's a student named Xu Qingran."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Cheng, who was sitting next to him, stood up with a dark face and asked him angrily: "Shen Tingyu, did you do this on purpose?!"
Shen Tingyu chuckled and replied calmly, "Yes."
