The Blade of Dawn in the middle of the night has a different view.

The moonlight is floating and sinking, and the path is deep. The night blurs the outline of things, turning a qiē into a picture scroll like a curtain of water and smoke. Secluded stone path, Alan and Adele walked in the direction of the student apartment. Alan was ahead, and Adele was a little behind. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Alan said at the venue that he would leave first, and Adele returned to the academy with him. can get out of the car from the two, and Allen's words are at the end, which makes Adele very uncomfortable. It was the first time she felt inferior between the two of them, and the key was Allen.

Growing up in the Mosen family since she was a child, Adele has long been accustomed to the deceit of the aristocracy. It's normal to use each other, and if the other party wasn't Allen, Adele would never feel the way she does now. However, Alan is from the surface, and he also lives with snow wolves, and his concept of the wolf clan is deeply ingrained.

For exploitation and betrayal, it is something that Allen cannot accept, this is his bottom line and principle. Adele's use of him as a shield made him very uncomfortable, and also made Adele feel a sense of guilt for the first time.

Seeing that the apartment was about to arrive, Adele finally couldn't help but shout: "Alan, you wait." ”

Alan stopped and turned to look at her. Adele sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this. It's just that I know that if I sue you Leon will propose to me tonight, you won't want to go with me, will you? ”

"I don't know. But I'm sure that if you tell the truth, I'll seriously consider it. Alan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you chose to hide it, you can't even try to trust me." Adele, I don't know what you think of friends. But if it were me, I would believe him, if I agreed that he was my friend. ”

Alan spread his hands again and said, "Of course, I don't have many friends. ”

"And do you think I'm your friend?" Adele asked.

"You know the answer yourself, don't you?"

Adele smiled gloomily: "Alan, you may not understand, it is not a good thing to be born in a famous family. I'm not moaning without illness, yes, in terms of material things, my family keeps me fed and clothed. But since I was sensible, I didn't dare to trust people, including my own parents. It was really tiring, so I wanted to head to the Outlands battlefield. Even in the face of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, it is better than constantly calculating others every day, or being calculated. ”

"I don't know if I'll believe it or not, but I'll try...... Try to trust you. Of course, if you are to take advantage of it one day, you should ...... Let's settle down. After Adele said this, she seemed to regain her usual romantic appearance. She waved her hand, turned away, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Alan took a breath and muttered, "Friend, friend......"

Turning around and walking towards the apartment, he had decided to forget about tonight's unhappiness. Alan can accommodate the next world, but how can he not even tolerate an Adele.

The days that followed were back on track, and Allen's time was filled with exploring knowledge and various trainings. As he entered the beginner course, he added several subjects to his curriculum, including cryptography. God knows if the subject of ciphers will be used on the battlefield of the Outlands, but Alan has learned it correctly and has quickly memorized several common ciphers, including the Morse cipher.

Adele appeared from time to time, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, never mentioning the unpleasant events of that night, as if it had never happened. But Alan carefully noticed that there were subtle changes in Adele. For example, every time she was in college, she no longer always wore men's clothes, and occasionally wore one or two girls' jewelry to make her neutral beauty more pleasing to the eye.

But in terms of temperament, it is still full of wildness, and there is no change in this aspect. Alan can probably understand that Adele always wears men's clothes, firstly, because of the kind of competitiveness that does not want to lose to men, and secondly, it is also a kind of subconscious self-protection, which makes her different from other noble ladies, and also makes her charming.

On this day, Adele went to the academy and went straight home after having lunch with Alan. After Allen rests, he goes to the library alone, but he bumps into Vera, a girl with a very different style. I remember that I hadn't talked to Vera since I met him. Vera seems to love black alone, and no matter what time it is, she only leaves the impression of this inky color.

Today is no exception, black dress and black boots, like a ghost, without the slightest sense of zài.

"Vera." Alan called lightly, ready to be turned on deaf ears.

But this time Vera reacted, and she nodded slightly to meet her. I saw her pull out a painting from the picture folder and stuff it into Alan's hand, and Eren unfolded it, and inside was a picture of a man with one face and an endless enemy. The man had only one side face, and from the contours of his face, it was somewhat similar to himself.

"This is what I see, about your future......" Vera's distinctive voice rang out.

Alan nodded and smiled, "It's beautifully drawn, I'll take it." ”

"Aren't you worried?" Vera looked up, confused.

"Worried about what?" Alan flicked his finger on the drawing paper: "You also said that the future is multifaceted, and the future you see may not necessarily happen." Furthermore, even if the future in the painting happens, so what? You see, at least I'm not dead. As long as you don't die, it's possible! ”

Perhaps it was Alan's strong faith that infected the girl, and there was a glimmer or two of light in Vera's leaden eyes. She said: "I heard my grandfather say that you will set up your own hunting group in the future? ”

"Of course, I'll go on expeditions to the Outlands and explore worlds beyond the world." Alan nodded.

"I'm pretty good at cosmic geography, and if you need a pilot then, you might want to consider me." Vera looked up and said, "If I have the chance, I would like to go to the Outlands where my parents died in battle......"

Without waiting for Alan to answer, Vera's bento burrowed into the library first, blending into the shadows of the library. Alan thought to himself that Vera's wish might be the medicine to untie the knot. He couldn't think of a reason to refuse this request, not to mention that for foreign expeditions, pilots were indeed a necessary role.

Of course, to be cautious, Alan still planned to ask Hughton's opinion before making a decision. What's more, there is still a long time before he establishes the hunting group, and he doesn't have to be busy answering.

Taking a deep breath, Alan also burrowed headlong into the library.

Soon, the January deadline set by Windsor Bello is approaching. At the end of the fourth week, Dean Andrew summoned four people, including Allen, into his office.

The dean's office is surprisingly simple, with an area of twenty or thirty square meters, two bookshelves, a few desks and chairs, and a set of sofas. The only thing that can be called decoration in the office is a row of bonsai on the windowsill, and this only greenery keeps the office from looking too monotonous.

The four of them sat precariously on the sofa, and Dean Andrew was still reviewing the text. Everyone saw that he also used an old-fashioned quill pen to lightly dip it in ink, leaving a string of beautiful words on the text. In this era when e-office has become popular, not to mention the retro pen such as quill pen, even paper media jiàn has become quite rare.

After the review work was temporarily over, Dean Andrew stood up, and when he saw the young man's eyes falling on his quill, he smiled slightly and said: "People always love nostalgia when they get old, but nostalgia is not a bad thing." It reminds us that today is from yesterday, and tomorrow is the creation of the present. ”

The dean's words were thought-provoking, and Alan listened to them in his ears and remembered them in his heart.

"I've called you here today, it's Marshal Windsor Belo who has news coming over." Dean Andrew sat down opposite the teenagers and said, "The marshal asked me to inform you that the topic of the second round of assessment is actual combat. On Monday morning, you must assemble at the Academy. She will send a car to take you to the military port, and then take a special airship to the surface. ”

"The location of the assessment is a small town occupied by predators in District 7 of the surface, and your topic is to lead an army for each person to see who can conquer this town faster and more efficiently and clear out the predators." Dean Andrew smiled.

"Actual combat?"

"Predators?"

The teenagers had different expressions, Webb was excited, and Pitz was a little timid. As for Allen, Andrew was on the march when he saw him. In Allen's eyes, it was hatred that was rushing and roaring like magma!

"Predators. Good, good......" Alan repeated the words softly.

During his studies at Dawnblade, Alan also collected information about the Predators. The college's library itself is a vast repository of information, and as long as it is not a federal secret, you can find almost any information you need in the library. The Predators are certainly not a federal secret, so Alan has easy access to this information.

According to the information he has found, predators can be considered a "dangerous species" that separates from the human group. Of course, their origins are also very sad. After the Battle of Daybreak, terrible radiation remains on the surface. During the first hundred years, a large number of people who could not enter Babylon far from the surface of the earth died in the strong radiation remaining on the surface.

However, a small number of people survived tenaciously, but they were affected by the radiation, and their bodies had a large amount of mutations. The most obvious deviant is the necrosis of the nerve endings, so that they no longer feel pain. The density of the bones increases, which makes them very strong and not easily killed.

In those barren times, the living conditions were a thousand times worse than the current surface of the earth. Faced with the harsh reality of food shortages, these people began to kill and devour their fellow citizens. Perhaps, the origin of the predators was created by the reality of helplessness. However, now that the situation on the surface is gradually improving and the Federation is committed to rebuilding order, they continue the habit of plundering and cannibalism, and even make cannibalism a tradition of this clan!
