Huo Lin's contact with Mans was neither too much nor too little. In short, he knew that Mans was not a helpful person.
"Thanks."
Huo Lin said something to Mans in a low voice. Even though the other party was most likely called by his mother, he still had to express his gratitude.
Mance looked at him and said nothing more.
Hardy had already agreed to Mance's proposal, but the more he looked at the fat kid, the more he felt that he would be beaten if he went to the ring. He regretted agreeing too quickly, but the facts were set and could not be changed.
"The competition is in the afternoon. Since you want to study here so much, why don't you experience it here before the competition starts?"
As Hardy spoke, he turned around and took out a few books and a pencil case from the cabinet.
He didn't give these directly to the little cub that Mans was playing with, but handed them to Huo Lin: "Here, you can give it to him when Mans puts him down."
As he spoke, he began to see the guests off.
"I still have things to do, so please don't bother me here. Your Highness, I won't see you off."
If it were outside of school, Hadi would be much more respectful to the little prince, but in school, His Majesty the Emperor said himself that teachers are the most powerful here.
Children of the royal family should not have any privileges in school, and the little prince has indeed never been treated specially because of his status since he started school.
Hardy sat back in his chair with droopy eyelids.
Seeing this, Mans stopped bothering him. Although the two were old acquaintances, they didn't have much to talk about.
Left the office.
Huo Lin finally spoke to Mans, "Mans, you can put Ningzi down now. He will feel uncomfortable if you hold him like this."
Mans lowered his eyes and looked at the kid swinging his legs in the air. He didn't think that the kid looked uncomfortable. Instead, he felt that the kid was treating this action as a game.
He let go and put the little fat boy on the ground.
Sure enough, the kid who had just been put down hugged his legs, tilted his chubby face up, and politely asked in a baby voice: "Can you hold it again?"
Huo Lin: “…”
Huo Lin grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck and stopped him from hugging Mans.
"Ningzi, come on, I'll take you to class."
As Huo Lin spoke, he looked up at Mans and said goodbye: "Mans, we are leaving first. Goodbye."
Ning Zai, who failed to cling to his brother, was led away by his brother. He looked back at Mans every few steps, saying, "Brother, Zai Zai still wants to play."
Huo Lin was also able to lift the little fat boy up, but his strength was still a little weaker than Mans'.
Seeing that the little fat boy wanted to play so much, he thought for a few seconds and suggested: "When we go back today, you can ask my father to pick you up. He is very tall and very strong."
The emperor of the empire was never a nominal position. During the wars, His Majesty personally led the army to fight against foreign enemies. Almost every generation of emperors became more and more powerful after going through the baptism of war.
"Uncle Lulu is bad, he scares the kids."
"Isn't Mans a bad guy? He just said that you are not tall enough." Although Huo Lin didn't like his father very much, when he saw that his father was about to be outdone by Mans, he still chose to give his father some points out of consideration.
The little fat boy listened to his brother's words and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, the little fat boy still felt that Uncle Lulu was the worst, but if Uncle Lulu was willing to pick him up and shake him, he could forgive Uncle Lulu for scaring him.
A big and a small boy walked hand in hand to the door of a classroom.
At the classroom door.
Jian Ning said seriously: "Brother, let's go find Uncle Lulu!"
Huo Lin: “…”
Huo Lin's eyelids twitched, and he replied without thinking: "No. Ningzi, don't find excuses to skip class, you should go to class now."
The little cub is no longer over one year old and he can understand what is said now.
Just now in Principal Hardy’s office, the principal explained everything very clearly and also took out books and stationery.
Ningzi looked at the books and stationery in his brother's hand, but he still didn't want to take them, nor did he want to go to class. He reached out and grabbed his brother's sleeve, looking at him eagerly: "Zizi wants to go home."
"Ningzi, we have already talked about the issue of schooling."
The older brother was so determined to send the kid to school that the kid finally gave in after realizing that struggling was useless. He held his books and stationery tightly, and the expression on his little face looked as if he was going to heroically save someone.
"Hello, I'm Ningzai!"
Ningzai walked in with something in his arms, and under the gaze of his brother outside the door, he bravely shouted: "I'm here for class!"
Huo Lin picked a small class in the kindergarten for Jian Ning. The children in the small class are younger, so there should be less friction when they get along with each other.
The teacher of the small class is a young female teacher with a high ponytail. She was admitted here right after graduation.
Unlike the old-fashioned-looking Principal Hardy, Teacher Lily looks much more friendly. She has a bright and sunny smile and is very popular among the children.
"Hello, I'm Lily."
Teacher Lily was very fond of the chubby-looking little cub in front of her. She bent down, asked the cub a few questions, and then led the cub to sit on an empty table and chair.
"Children, now we have a new classmate, what should everyone do?"
At the reminder of Teacher Lily and with the class monitor leading the applause, the other children also began to applaud one by one.
Huo Lin moved to the window and looked out.
He looked at his little kid sitting upright in his seat, and he looked obviously very nervous. However, this nervousness did not last long, and slowly dissipated amid the applause and welcome from the other children.
It was not enough for Huo Lin to just watch it himself, he also recorded a video. After recording the video, he sent it to Zhan Xi.
Zhan Xi called soon. In order not to disturb the children in the classroom, Huo Lin took the Xingji and found a secluded place to answer the call.
After he left, the little kid sitting in the classroom also spoke his first words to the kid next to him.
"Ningzi, you are so cute."
"Thank you, you are also very... very white!"
The kids were blowing flattery to each other, and Ningzai, who could already praise others before they could even finish their small talk, was so good at blowing flattery that he completely blew away all the other kids in the class.
He doesn't take the initiative to talk to other children, but waits for other children to come to him before he chats with them.
Time passes by little by little.
The class that Huo Lin chose seemed very suitable for the little ones who were entering kindergarten for the first time. The content of the courses taught in this class was something that the little ones had already learned.
There are many activity classes in kindergarten.
After an Imperial language class, it was time for activity class.
"Ningzai, this class is a fighting class. I'll take you to get the tools!" The enthusiastic new classmate grabbed him and was about to run towards the teacher.
Although Jian Ning had never taken a fighting class, he was familiar with the tools. He touched the protective gear happily and said in a loud voice: "My brother has this!"
"You have a brother, how old is he?"
"Is your brother in school too?"
The children were more energetic than each other. They didn't see the little prince who was seeing off his baby at the classroom door just now, so they all started talking at the same time when asking questions.
It was the first time that Jane Ning saw so many children, and it was also the first time that she was surrounded by so many children.
He shook his head and felt his head buzzing from the noise.
Jane Ning was confused by the noise and only answered a few questions: "My brother is in school. He goes to school there!"
Jian Ning's chubby hand pointed in the direction of the Imperial Military Primary School. When he pointed, the children looked at him differently.
"Your brother is awesome!"
"Hey? Brother Ningzai and the little tyrant are in the same school! Will he be bullied by the little tyrant?"
"I don't know! The little tyrant is so scary, Brother Ningzai is in danger!"
"I think Wagner is scarier! He always bullies us!"
"That's right, Wagner is bad!"
The children's topics always jumped very quickly. Before Jane Ning understood who the little tyrant they were talking about was, she heard them saying bad things about Wagner.
His head was full of question marks, and his chubby face was full of confusion.
"Wagner, who is that?"
"He's a kid from the Federation, and he has a bad temper!" Hearing Jane Ning's question, the kids who were forming a group to say bad things about Wagner immediately began to explain.
"He always fights with our kids. He also says that our Empire kids are weak and can't compare to the Alliance kids!"
After the children's explanation, Jane Ning understood who this Wagner was.
He had a stern face and said angrily, "We are not bad! The kids in our empire are the best!"
Although Jian Ning himself was a black household, he had a heart that loved the empire. The reason why he loved the empire was not because of any heavy historical factors, but because in his mind, his brother was the little prince of the empire, and his love for the country was equal to his love for his brother!
As soon as Jane Ning's patriotic declaration came out, the children immediately started shouting.
"The Empire is the best! The Empire is the best!"
At the end of the shouting, the children's faces turned red and they started shouting slogans.
Jian Ning clenched her chubby little fists and shouted in agreement: "The Empire is the best! Brother is the best!"
Their "best" voices had already attracted the attention of a bunch of people nearby.
There were other people and other teachers in the activity class. They all had smiles in their eyes when they saw the little kids shouting patriotic slogans in their baby voices.
Although Ludwig had the style of a tyrant, it is undeniable that it was because of his existence that the people of the empire could live a stable life.
As citizens of the empire, patriotism is engraved in everyone's bones.
The shouting of the little rascals finally ended when a little yellow-haired kid came over.
Actually, to be precise, it was not a little yellow-haired cub, but a cub with golden hair. This cub was more than a head taller than Jane Ning.
He was wearing a type of clothing that had never been seen in the Empire, and small leather boots, and his fairly good-looking face had a unfriendly expression.
"Change your slogan."
As soon as he arrived, he ordered the group of little kids in front of him to change their slogan. His childish voice was filled with contempt: "You kids in the Empire are so weak. You shouldn't shout this slogan."
The tone of his voice and the golden hair made Jane Ning immediately identify his identity—
Wagner.
This is Wagner from the Federation.
Jian Ning clenched his fists and stood in front of the group of children.
"The kids in the empire are not bad!"
Jian Ning said angrily: "The headmaster told me to fight with you! I will beat you until you cry!"
Although Jian Ning was taught a lot of self-defense skills by his father and uncles, his father and uncles often reminded him not to fight easily.
Daddy said, kid, you have to be a polite kid!
After Wagner heard the carrot-head in front of him say that he wanted to fight with him, he gave a sarcastic smile to the somewhat gloomy little face.
"You... still want to fight me?"
Wagner looked at the bottle hanging around his neck and said maliciously, "Little cub who hasn't been weaned yet, do you believe I will throw your bottle away?"
There was no milk powder in the bottle hanging around Jane Ning's neck. After Uncle Andre knew that he was not having success in weaning off breast milk, he gave him the bottle, but the bottle was filled with sweet water.
This is the sweet soup specially made by the uncles in the kitchen for Ningzai!
You can move the baby, but you can’t move the baby’s bottle!
Ningzai, who was threatened by the bottle, had little flames burning in his eyes.
Seeing the two cubs about to fight, Teacher Lily came over and tried to stop them. She picked up the angry cub and gently comforted him: "Ning cub, our activity class is about to start, shall we start the class?"
Under the gentle coaxing of teacher Lily, Jane Ning went to the fighting class holding her baby's bottle.
Before attending the fighting class, Jane Ning wore various protective gear.
He was put in a group with another little kid in the class. In order to prevent him from having a conflict with Wagner who had not left yet, Teacher Lily put him at the front.
"Ningzi, let's start."
As the name suggests, fighting class is about two cubs fighting each other, which is similar to fighting, but there are many more rules than fighting.
After all, fighting classes cannot be taken lightly. At the very least, both parties must ensure safety.
Jian Ning could fight, but he couldn't fight. He didn't dare to hit the kid in front of him with his chubby little fists.
The one in front of me is a little kid, a good little kid!
During the last class, Jian Ning even ate the other person's chocolate!
The fight didn't start long.
Teacher Lily felt a little helpless when she saw Ningzai being pushed to the ground by the kids and not fighting back.
well.
Little Ningzai is cute, but just like his appearance, he is too soft.
Fortunately, such a soft-hearted little cub is in their class, otherwise, if he were in another class, he would suffer.
Wagner, who had not left yet, looked at the curly-haired kid who had just said he wanted to fight with him, but was knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye. He crossed his arms and once again confirmed his speculation: none of these imperial kids could fight.
Compared with the Federation, the Empire's education is still far from enough.
Wagner watched for a while the various scenes of the curly-haired kid being pushed down, then he turned and left.
As soon as he left, Huo Lin came over.
Huo Lin saw his little kid being pushed down, but he didn't step forward.
He knew that this was a class, and according to classroom rules, he was not allowed to interrupt the class at will.
But... Ningzi's fighting skills are really too poor.
Huo Lin frowned and started recording.
When Jian Ning's group finally finished, Teacher Lily took off his protective gear, hung his bottle around his neck, and gently encouraged him: "Ning, you must work hard next time."
Ningzai was so tired from being pushed around that his forehead was covered with sweat. He held the bottle and took a big sip of the sweet water: "Teacher, I understand."
I knew it, but I didn't listen.
For Ningzi, fighting is a bad thing. He cannot beat other children.
But you can’t beat other kids, but you can beat the arrogant Wagner!
Jian Ning sat down on a small stool to rest, gulping down sweet water while watching a new group of children go on stage.
I do not know how long it has been.
Huo Lin finally received a notice from Director Hardy.
Wagner's ring time is about to begin.
He stood there and called Teacher Lily.
When Teacher Lily saw him, her expression didn't change much.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
"The match between Ningzi and Wagner is about to begin."
Huo Lin said to Teacher Lily in a calm tone: "I'm going to take him to the competition."
Teacher Lily's expression, which had remained unchanged just now, suddenly became unsightly.
"Your Highness, Ningzi is not fit to compete with Wagner."
Wagner is an extremely arrogant cub. Even the cubs in the kindergarten class cannot beat this outsider cub.
Sending Ningzai, who was in the younger class and had just arrived, over there was just like delivering food.
Teacher Lily intends to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give up taking Ningzai to the competition.
But Huo Lin shook his head and chose to take Ningzai away.
Only by defeating Wagner can Ningzi come here to study.
This affiliated kindergarten is the best kindergarten in the entire empire. Even Zhan Xi would be tempted if he could really go to school here.
Huo Lin was leading Ning Zai to the ring when Director Hardy stopped him.
Director Hardy's expression was not very good: "Your Highness, something has happened. The Federal Marshal will come to watch Wagner's game in person, and your father will also come."
"With these two people appearing, Wagner's ring match will become a very serious matter. Are you sure you still want the fat kid next to you to go on stage?"
"Sure."
Huo Lin was very confident in his cub, even though he had just lost the fighting class.
Director Hardy looked at the stubborn little prince, and a hint of disapproval appeared on his always stern face.
He lowered his head and looked at the little cub at the Crown Prince's hand.
The little kid was holding the bottle, and when he saw him staring at him, he was so scared that he gulped down a few gulps.
Hadi: “…”
Hardy left with a heavy face.
Ruined.
This little cub is about to be beaten and cry in public.
Since the federal marshal and the emperor of the empire came at the same time, the other children in the kindergarten were temporarily exempted from classes. They were allowed to watch the game, but the premise was that they had to behave well, listen to the teacher, and follow the rules.
soon.
The arena was set up, and at a higher point, the figures of the Marshal and His Majesty Ludwig appeared in front of everyone.
The children had never seen the Emperor in person, so they all looked up and tried hard to look at Him.
Huo Lin squatted in front of the kid in front of him, explained the rules to him carefully, and then handed him over to the teacher.
Ningzi knew what he was here for, so he looked determined and promised his brother earnestly, "I will definitely beat him until he cries!"
Huo Lin pinched his chubby face and nodded.
Jian Ning was going to wait to fight with Wagner, while Huo Lin was invited to the podium, where he sat next to the Emperor.
After going over, Huo Lin greeted the marshal and then sat down in his chair.
The competition on the ring will start soon.
Wagner set his own rules: as long as someone defeated him, he would remove the ring and end the game.
Director Hardy prepared several cubs, all of whom were little bullies in the garden. But when he was about to let one of the little bullies go on stage, Jane Ning grabbed his hand.
"uncle."
Seeing him looking down at her, Jian Ning quickly opened her hands and asked politely, "Can you hold the baby up?"
The stage is too high and the cub can’t climb up.
Hadi: “…”
Hardy looked at the active little cub, and perhaps on impulse, he actually put the cub on the ring.
When Ludwig saw the curly-haired kid appear on the stage, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. Then, he frowned slightly and looked at his son.
Huo Lin seemed not to notice his gaze and didn't even look at him.
Seeing this, Ludwig returned his gaze to the ring.
In the ring, when Wagner saw the little cub really coming over, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Little cub, remember what I told you? If you really dare to come over, I will throw all your milk bottles away."
Jian Ning clenched her fists and snorted, "I gave the bottle to my brother!"
Wagner:"… "
Wagner wanted to say something else, but the unweaned little cub in front of him rushed towards him like a little cannonball.
Jian Ning's classmates were also very anxious when they saw Ning Zai on the stage.
"Ningzi, come on!"
"Ningzi, hit him!"
The children shouted loudly, their faces flushed red. They stared at Ning Zai who was fighting with Wagner, and their cheers were so loud that they overwhelmed the children in the older class.
Wagner soon realized that something was wrong. This little cub's approach was a bit weird, and his style was different from those of the cubs in the empire.
Looking at the little cub who is good for nothing except being cute, he hits him, but he knows where it will hurt the most.
Wagner only has a slight advantage in his size, body shape and strength.
Although Jian Ning had been trained by his father and uncles, he had no experience in actual combat with people of the same age.
During the fight, Jane Ning accidentally hit his head and fell to the ground.
The classmates were very distressed when they saw this scene. I don't know which child suddenly brought out the slogan.
"The Empire is the best! Ningzi is the best!"
As soon as this slogan was shouted, the other children immediately echoed it: "The Empire is the best! Ningzi is the best!"
Amid the great voices, the little guy who fell on the ring also got up.
He raised his hand and touched his forehead, tears welled up in his eyes. But even with tears in his eyes, it didn't affect the fight!
Encouraged by the slogan, Ningzai rushed forward again.
On the high platform.
Although they were far away, Ludwig could still clearly see the cub's face and the way it was hitting people with tears in its eyes.
