Chapter 114: On the Eve of Departure
It was late at night. The hottest days of summer have passed, and the summer nights are now much cooler than before. The sound of the conductive cooler still resounded in the newly laid pipes, but it did not affect the last time the students of Class VII tossed and turned before going to bed at this moment.
In the middle of the week, Instructor Sarah's declaration is still well remembered by them. Unlike previous internships, after this internship, whether it is Group A or Group B, the final purpose of the final assembly is not to return to school, but to go to the Iron Fortress on the eastern border of the Empire, located at the Garelian Fortress on the border between the Empire and Crossbell.
The newly built, with the largest tank and tank warehouse, the largest air force warehouse, the steep and difficult to defend terrain, and the most elite 4th and 5th mecha divisions in the entire Imperial regular army are stationed, and most importantly, there is also the most powerful weapon that can be produced in the world, the train cannon that claims to be able to destroy the population of half a million in two hours.
The instructor's meaning is very simple: going to the fortress for internship is something that has been arranged before. As a student of a military academy, even if most people will not actually engage in military-related work in the future, it is also part of this education to experience the oppressive feeling of the steel torrent at the forefront of the empire and the scorching air that can boil at any time. So after the internship with Regram and Julai, both groups had to travel through a network of railroads that ran through the entire empire to the most reassuring and powerful fortress on the empire's borders.
"Whew...... Let's go out and blow the wind. Laura, who had planned to simply take a shower after swinging her sword and then go to bed to rest early, couldn't sleep for some reason. So I pushed open the door, intending to go to the balcony on the top floor to breathe a little air. Although it is still in the late stages, due to the cooling brought by the recent rains, Torista at night is not much hotter than in spring and autumn, on the contrary, there is a little coolness compared to the heat of the day.
"Huh? Is there already someone? When she got to the balcony, Laura noticed that someone was already there. It turned out to be the squad leader Emma didn't know why, Emma's expression seemed to be a little stiff after seeing Laura, and although Laura didn't see it too clearly, there seemed to be a dark shadow flashing from the windowsill just now.
"Ah, it's Laura." Although her expression was a little flustered, Emma, who quickly adjusted very naturally, turned on the actor mode at this time, maybe someone who is sharp enough can't be fooled, but it's enough for the straight Laura, "I saw something strange on the street corner just now...... Laura, your voice startled me. ”
"That's right...... I'm sorry. Sure enough, Laura was easily deceived and honestly apologized.
"It doesn't matter. Hehe, is Laura a little excited because she is going back to her hometown? ”
"It's probably a more complicated emotion than excitement. It's nice to be home, but I've already decided not to go back until I have a breakthrough in martial arts, and the internship location happens to be like this, which makes people a little confused. ”
"Ah, I know that this is written in it, and warriors have this or that pride." Emma clapped her hands and said, "But I don't really understand......"
"Well, I'm just a little disappointed. My father seems to have been busy all this time, and it is likely that he was not at home when we went. Laura smiled, "And Faye is looking forward to the food there, too." ”
"Speaking of which, are Laura and Haliga's hometown very close?" Emma recalled, "That's why Xiaofei is very familiar with you? ”
"Well, although there is also this reason in it...... But it's more complicated. Laura smiled, "I'll tell you about it." ”
"Good. Then, I won't bother you...... Just as I was about to go back to my room to rest. Emma nodded, and slowly retreated to the room on her own. It wasn't until she reached the door of the room that she took a breath a little, and the heart that had almost mentioned her throat was put back to the stupid Selenu.
She was talking to her own demon just now, and to be precise, she was unilaterally trying to persuade Serenu not to accompany her. However, Serenu insisted that the awakening of the rider according to the plan would also lead to the loosening of the blockade of the entire mechanism, and there would be a high probability that there would be some anomalies in the ancient city of Regram, and as a member of the witch clan, she could not let it go. Emma repeatedly promised that she would be able to solve the problem, but Serenu still disagreed, much to her distress.
Not to mention Ryne, who seemed to be aware of it, and Heliga, who seemed to know everything, but said nothing, it was almost impossible to hide it from Miss Sharon's eyes. Although she may not know that she usually has little contact, once Serenu gets on the train, it is impossible not to be discovered by the strange maid. At that time, if your own side is questioned, it will be even more difficult to explain clearly.
"No problem......" uttered such a lament one last time, and Emma returned to the room with some chagrin.
Serenu...... Where has this guy gone now?
"King Bomb!" Haley threw out the last two cards in his hand with weight, "Marchias, you've lost again." ”
"Damn ......" Marchias scratched his ears and cheeks, he had never lost in chess, and was hung up and beaten by Hailiga in a game of poker. Of course, Heliga was actually cheating, and he always knew what Macchias' cards looked like in various ways before drawing, by judging the details of his reactions
"Macchias, chess and poker have different ideas." Ryan, Chloe, and Elliot watched from the sidelines, and Chloe was still coming up with a bad idea, "...... to be specific"
"Hmph, it's very lively." Jussi's voice came from upstairs, and Jussi, who was dressed in pajamas, rarely ran to the common area on the first floor at this time.
"Are you here to taunt me?" Macchias was in a hurry and viciously vented at Jusis.
"Boring...... I'm not interested in mocking bereavement dogs. That being said, but Jusses's words themselves were already a mockery, "nothing...... Just to take a look, and by the way, to remind you guys not to play too late. Then, Jusis waved his hand and walked away.
He ...... Seems to have something to say? Although Jusses disguised himself naturally, both Heliga and Rian saw this, and Jusses seemed to have something to say to someone alone, but because almost all the boys were here, he held back.
"......" Lane and Haliga, respectively, showed confused expressions. But what they think in their hearts is very different.
