Quick Wear: But I just want to be a little transparent
Chapter 170 Baby Robot 13
Two new things were added to Songxun's monotonous life.
Listen to the parrot talk and water the flowers.
It's just that this parrot is a bit chattering.
"What a rubbish school. They don't even give us a break."
"Beecher is a waste, and he's still complaining."
"Why is Thor staring at me? Is there something wrong with you catching me climbing the wall?"
All of Hurt's affairs were shaken off by it.
In order to let the flowers get some sunlight, Song Xun moved the potted plant to the window. He occasionally observed its condition and discovered another abnormality.
There are fewer people on the streets.
And this situation continued to happen. In less than a month, this long street in a bustling downtown area suddenly became deserted and empty.
Then came the news of the defeat at the border and the retreat to the rear.
You must know that the border soldiers are the last line of defense of the empire. If the border cannot be defended, the Pound people will inevitably swarm towards Tubusi. Their claws as sharp as sickles will tear humans in half and madly occupy the entire city.
The royal family intended to suppress the spread of this news, but in the end the situation on the border was so critical that it could not be suppressed no matter what.
The scarcity of combat power is the most urgent issue at the moment.
The Pound people generally have low intelligence, and their attacks are all controlled by the Lord Emperor. Apart from their physical combat advantages, their most critical advantage lies in their fertility.
Faced with an endless stream of enemies, the last line of defense on the border is already in jeopardy.
At the same time, the empire began to urgently deploy troops, and all military academies, regardless of whether they graduated normally or not, volunteered to join.
The Strategic Academy, as a top priority, naturally also participated in it. Even the freshmen who had been enrolled for less than a year responded to the call and prepared to go to the front line to fight a desperate battle for their country.
At this juncture, Hutt was urgently summoned to the palace.
Song Xun's idea of going together was rejected by Hurt, but he could probably guess why Isabel summoned Hurt.
It was just the same excuse. As the only bloodline of Edmund's family, he was reluctant to put Hutt in danger and stopped him from going to the border.
To be honest, he still didn't understand why Isabel was so afraid of Hurt. Even at this moment, she still held on to Hurt.
Song Xun later learned from the bracelet what Hurt had agreed to do, and Hutt's name was crossed out from the expedition list.
If it were in the past, Hurt's move would inevitably provoke a lot of criticism, but now everyone is in danger and no longer has the energy or time to condemn others.
Apart from Hutt, how many noble children have used their privileges to avoid the border and the huge and heavily guarded underground shelter in the inner city? The real target group will only be them.
The only way for ordinary people is to wait in despair for the judgment of fate.
Due to special circumstances, the graduation examination of the Strategic College was carried out in advance, and the freshmen also participated.
Selecting top talents for the empire has always been the top priority every year. According to tradition, Isabel will also come to watch the game and award the honorary rank to the final winner.
The college was open on this day and students and parents were allowed to enter.
Song Xun came early in the morning and got a great viewing spot at the front.
All students will take part in this graduation examination, which will be held in the back mountain of the academy. Due to time constraints, a free-for-all competition will be adopted, and the person remaining at the end will be the final winner.
The students' every move will be monitored and displayed on the large screen in the front.
To be honest, this assessment is not friendly to freshmen. They have been enrolled for less than a year and are not even proficient in operating mechas, but they have to take the test together with seniors. It is really because of the pressing situation that they have to do so hastily.
Isabel sat in the highest seat surrounded by the crowd and raised her hand to signal for the start.
The large screen in the center also started to be put into use.
Numerous mechas shuttled through the mountains and forests. They were controlled by students whose faces could not be seen, looking for targets to eliminate.
The gap is still visible. The freshmen are not yet very smooth in controlling the mecha, and there is a sense of obstruction when dodging and attacking.
It's easy to be eliminated.
Song Xun suddenly heard a cry of surprise. Someone stood up from his seat, staring at the big screen in disbelief, too shocked to speak.
It is the Cloud Bow. Its appearance is truly outstanding. The person controlling it is very powerful and has brought the Cloud Bow's attack power to the extreme. Every movement is smooth and fast, so coordinated that it seems as if the mecha itself has a life and does not seem to be controlled by humans.
What a strong mental strength is needed to achieve this.
You must know that the mental strength must reach S level to be able to use the cloud bow.
No one was unfamiliar with Yun Gong, and they all believed that after Marshal Sari's death, Yun Gong would be forever covered in dust.
"That's a new student." Someone murmured.
Everyone stared at the screen. The cloud bow was caught in a fierce battle and its speed was so fast that it almost left an afterimage, but the yellow logo representing the freshman year could still be vaguely seen.
"This... Why haven't I heard of an S-rank freshman before?"
Isabel, who was sitting on the high seat, was also staring at the screen. She turned to the college host and asked, "Who is this student?"
The host looked embarrassed: "Maybe we have to wait until the game is over before we can watch it. I haven't received any advance news."
He himself found it ridiculous.
This shouldn't be the case. How could there be no news about a freshman whose mental power has reached S level and who can control the cloud bow?
Isabel frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy.
The freshman who controlled the cloud bow was unstoppable. No one could gain the upper hand against him, and the number of people eliminated gradually increased.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Yun Gong.
The result was no doubt, Yun Gong was the final winner.
On the big screen, the mecha representing the highest level of the empire knelt on one knee, the door in front of its chest slowly opened, and the young man jumped down from the chest of the mecha like an agile cheetah.
Looking back towards the big screen, his deep blue eyes were filled with a fierce fighting spirit that had not yet subsided, and his edge was clearly revealed.
Everyone was stunned.
"Is this Hurt? How could it be him…"
Someone's words spoke out everyone's thoughts. The idea that Hurt was stubborn and incapable of taking on big responsibilities had long been deeply rooted in their hearts. Even if they had guessed everyone, they would not have thought that the person who controlled the cloud bow and won the game would be Hurt.
The crisp sound of the porcelain cup falling to the ground made everyone look back.
Isabel on the podium had a stiff and ugly expression on her face. She stared at the screen in front of her so hard that her eyeballs seemed to bulge out.
This didn't quite fit her expression.
Shouldn't the person who is most happy about Heart winning the competition be Her Majesty the Queen, who has always loved Heart very much?
Isabel suddenly came to her senses and noticed the strange looks from the people below. She forced a smile, but it looked very unnatural.
Amidst the confusion, Thor stood up.
Explain to everyone: "The first place in this graduation assessment is the freshman classmate Hutt. He has a very keen sense of mental power and is the only one who can control the cloud bow. After advance testing, Hutt's mental power is at the 2S level."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exclaimed.
You should know that the peak period for the growth of mental power is eighteen years old, and Hurt has just turned sixteen. His mental power is still in the growth stage, but he has been detected to have a mental power of 2S at this time. What about the future?
A hundred years ago, the Pound people invaded the empire and finally drove the enemy back into the desert. This famous general was General Mond, who is still recorded in history books. His deeds have been passed down for a long time and are highly praised.
The mental power of General Mond is the highest level ever recorded, level 3S.
The empire has not seen a person of this level for many years, and now, there is the accident of Hutt.
In the turbulent empire, his appearance brought a glimmer of hope to everyone.
The crowd began to talk.
"As expected of a child of the Edmund family, how could he be such an ordinary person?"
"At such a young age, he is able to fully control the Cloud Bow and take the lead among all the seniors. He is really outstanding."
Song Xun listened to the exclamations from all sides. It was as if these people had forgotten their previous dissatisfaction and disparagement of Hutt overnight, and the wind direction suddenly changed.
His attention was more focused on Isabel, and he did not miss the way she raised her hand slightly towards the person next to her.
Soon, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
"No matter how outstanding his abilities are, he is still afraid of death. Some people actually compare him to General Mond."
The discussion stopped, and everyone realized that Hurt had been removed from the military list early in the morning, and might be waiting to enter the underground shelter, and would need someone to protect him in the end.
Having the ability but no ambition, it makes me sad that I don't strive for it.
It was at this time that Hurt stepped onto the podium. The young man in combat uniform had a firm look in his eyes. He had gradually acquired the resolute and resolute temperament of a warrior, and faced everyone resolutely.
The sound is transmitted to every corner of the auditorium through the radio equipment.
"I believe everyone is familiar with me. I was born in a military family, and I spend more time with my family than with them."
Instead of the usual victory speech of thanking the academy for its cultivation, everyone turned their eyes to the young man on the stage.
"When I was little, I asked my father if he could stay with me. I still remember clearly what he said at that time."
"Our empire is made up of countless families, big and small. Every child longs for the company of his family. But when the empire is in crisis, there are always people who stand up to serve the country and support it."
"Since we were born here, the rise and fall of the empire is closely related to everyone. When the empire survives or dies, we all rise and fall together. How can I feel at ease and shrink behind others when the empire survives or dies?"
Hutt looked at Isabel, who was sitting in the middle seat, with an apologetic look on his face.
"I know that His Majesty is worried about my safety, so he doesn't allow me to go to the front line. Hutt may disappoint His Majesty's kindness."
"I think my parents will support me in doing this. People in the Edmund family will never be cowards. So, I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order."
Hurt was really good at stirring up emotions, and his words made the people in the audience cry.
At the same time, it was revealed that Isabel prevented him from joining the army.
As the only new force with 2S-level mental power who can control the cloud bow and take the lead in the academy competition, he is given a lot of hope.
If Isabel continued to stop him, she would be unreasonable.
She is the monarch of the empire and should be the one who cares most about the empire. There is no reason for her to refuse.
Song Xun saw that Isabel's hands on the armchair were so tight that veins popped out, which showed that she was very angry about what Hurt had done.
Under the gazes of many people, I could only hold my nose and admit it: "Since you have such an ambition, I will naturally support you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hutt said with a smile.
Isabel's chest was filled with anger. She never expected that she would be tricked by a young boy. She felt upset when she saw him.
Rubbing his forehead, he said to the attendant beside him: "I am a little tired, help me to rest."
The Queen left early, so the final investiture ceremony was naturally postponed to the afternoon.
Song Xun saw Hutt leap from the stage and walk straight towards him, but was surrounded by a crowd halfway.
The years of indifference and contempt faded away, and they became enthusiastic and admiring.
At this moment, Song Xun seemed to see the spirited young man in the original plot in Hurt, who was surrounded at the center.
Hutt squeezed out of the crowd, reached out to grab him and walked away from the crowd.
Song Xun looked back at the crowd looking over here and asked, "Where are you going?"
"It's too noisy here, let's go to the dormitory." Hutt kept walking. He didn't want to be delayed by irrelevant people when he had the chance to meet Song Xun. He just wanted to find a space for them to meet alone.
Don't disturb anyone.
The dormitories at the Strategic Academy were allocated to four people in each room, but after Song Xun entered Hutt's dormitory, he discovered that except for one bed, there were no signs that anyone had ever lived in the other rooms.
Hutt closed the door with his backhand and hung on Songxun the next second.
It's only been two months since we last met, but he's already taller than Song Xun and his body has become much stronger.
In the past, Song Xun only thought that he was acting like a spoiled brat, but now he had a different feeling, as if overnight, he realized that Hutt had grown up.
Surrounded by an aura that was more powerful than his own, Song Xun felt inexplicably restrained and pushed Hurt away: "Stand still and don't come close to me."
Hutt held his hand with his backhand and moved closer, his breath touching Song Xun's ears.
"We finally met, and you chased me away."
Hutt's deliberately softened voice made Song Zhao feel familiar again. He relaxed a little and asked, "When do we leave for the border?"
Hutt leaned his head on Songxun's shoulder in an uncomfortable position and couldn't help rubbing his neck. He couldn't suppress his desire to be close to him all the time.
Sometimes this desire for closeness becomes stronger and becomes less easily satisfied, and you want more and more intimate outlets.
He whispered, "We will be leaving in two days. You haven't seen what the border looks like yet. It's very windy and sandy there. It's not as cold as Tubusi. There are continuous sand dunes, and there is a beautiful lake at the garrison."
It is not difficult to hear the yearning in Hutt's tone. Compared with the prosperous inner city, the environment on the border is harsh, but it is also free.
Therefore, even a dangerous place with war has become a place of longing.
He naturally included Song Xun in the future and the future. After so many years of being together, Song Xun had already become a part of his body.
