The shining Shoko Toyokawa

"She seems to have only participated in formal training for more than a month, but she achieved first place in the graduation assessment."

Gravey took a sip of coffee and praised: "It's a good seedling."

Gravey was probably only in his twenties, but he looked as laid-back as a 75-year-old retiree. He wore a tailor-made black driving suit that looked like casual wear.

His hair is a bit greasy, and he only shaved half of his beard, which is enough to drive someone with obsessive compulsive disorder crazy.

"If her file hadn't been there all along, I would have suspected that she was an enhanced person. If such a talent were sent for further enhancement, she would definitely become a super ace."

"Don't look at me with such a scary look."

Seeing Isabella's fierce expression, Gravey immediately raised his hands and gave a "hometown military salute".

"You know, I hate troublesome things the most. For example, now we have to snipe Wu Ci and take back Jialuo Luo. I think we should just let them go.

Those old idiots in Singapore are dead, and the world will continue to turn tomorrow."

"Is this the benefit of having a general father?"

Major Isabella was smiling, and those who had not heard her words would never have thought that she was being sarcastic.

With long platinum hair and a face that perfectly portrays the word "gentleness", she possesses a magical power that makes it seem as if even if she curses someone in the street, most people's first reaction would be that some lady is singing a poem.

Facing the ridicule from his old classmates, Gravey shrugged nonchalantly.

“The most important thing for people living in this world is to be happy. Only those who are open-minded can live long.

People who like responsibility and honor usually die early in this world.

For example, the little girl from Gray's family, who was a good girl, chose to go against the big guys.

That would be fine, but he even went to District 11 to investigate the so-called truth, and in the end his ashes were buried in someone else's grave."

Chapter 89: A world where fate plays tricks on people

"Shut up!"

For the first time, the smile disappeared from Major Isabella's face.

She knew Gravey was provoking her.

If this is a competition of exposing each other's scars, there is no doubt that Gravey is the winner.

But Major Isabella no longer cared about this matter.

"This hard-won situation was achieved at the cost of countless lives like her! Are you really going to stand by and watch?!"

"Just to show your rebellion to your general father?!"

"Maybe, who knows?"

Facing the anger of his 'old classmate', Gravey still looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"After all, men are still young until they die."

"And it's not surprising that a teenager who hates his father would do anything, right?"

Major Isabella was speechless.

Unlike the ignorant second and first lieutenants, she knew that up the saltwater "river" not far away, her own soldiers were fighting desperately.

But they are here eating breakfast leisurely, which is unbelievable.

Major Isabella joined Caius with a beautiful vision.

But here, it seems that reality, like everywhere else, always disappoints people...

"Since you all want to watch the fire from the other side, I will go alone!"

Her patience has reached its limit. She knows that she can't change anything by herself and will only lose her life in vain.

But if she sits back and does nothing now, she might as well just quit the federal army and go back to being her own lady!

"The commander of the upstream troops seems to have stayed in the pleasant Mediterranean climate for too long.

Comfort not only wears away people's fighting spirit, but also makes people who were once sharp become dull."

Gravi calmly placed his hands on Major Isabella's shoulders, preventing her from getting up.

"He hasn't been given new equipment for a long time. He's completely oblivious to such obvious signals, and continues to collaborate with various factions."

"The big guys have wanted to replace him for a long time, and now is a golden opportunity."

"Even so, why do you still stay here so obediently?"

Major Isabella's voice was filled with confusion. "Isn't going against the higher-ups your forte?!"

“Have you ever seen lions at a safari park?”

Isabella didn't know why he suddenly said that.

Fortunately, Gravi did not let her doubt for too long.

"When I was 17, I went to the San Diego Zoo in California,"

"Because it's wide enough, the fence disappears soon after the tour bus enters the park,"

"Lions roar to the sky, antelopes and giraffes stroll and play here, making you feel as if you have really traveled to the African savannah."

"But perhaps it's because of psychological factors, I always feel that the lions there are very different from those in the documentaries."

"The tour guides constantly advised tourists not to touch the lions, emphasizing that they were just as dangerous as wild lions and that entering the park meant entering their world."

"But as the sightseeing bus moved forward, the electric fences and electric grids at the other end of the park told me, and them, that this is still a human world..."

"Can you understand how I feel, old classmate?"

"No matter how fierce and ferocious the lions behind the fences are, or how loud they roar, they are still captives."

"Perhaps they all tried to climb over the fence, but in the end... they were all scared of the electricity..."

Isabella didn't know what to say for a moment.

She certainly understood what Gravi meant. The lion seemed to be the king of the zoo.

But what 'it' can do is actually quite limited...

"Everyone, this is an emergency! The defenders ahead have been attacked by thornless terrorists. Send them out to support us immediately! Everyone, move quickly!"

The 'lion in the zoo' certainly cannot command anyone,

The one who loudly gave the order was another officer with a crew cut who was walking quickly.

He, like Gravey, was also a lieutenant colonel.

The main body is black, with red on the shoulders and stand-up collar - sharp blocks of color, accompanied by a military uniform with gold embellishments.

Wearing it on him, he looks majestic and with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, he looks very oppressive.

"What are you guys doing?! You're in battle readiness mode, yet you're still so relaxed?!"

"Are you guys worthy of being called Caius' elite?!"

The drivers who were still eating breakfast were all stood up immediately after being swept by the lieutenant colonel's eagle-like gaze. They put their legs together and stood straight.

As an outsider who would not stay here for long, Major Isabella did not stand up when she saw Gravi did not stand up.

That crew chief with a crew cut must be well aware of the situation on the front lines and here.

But he only showed up now, so... the troops in front must have collapsed.

The reason why he did this must be the intention of the bigwigs...

It was difficult for Major Isabella to feel any respect for such a superior.

"Then, Lieutenant Colonel Gravey, we will set off first."

In order to prevent himself from becoming the buzz-cut lieutenant colonel who was used to kill Kun as a warning to others and to establish his own prestige in front of Gravi and everyone else,

Major Isabella, stand up and go,

Now, she was the only one who could give her 'old classmate' a little bit of 'face', so she couldn't and didn't want to be respectful to this crew chief like everyone else.

If the crew chief wanted to stop her, she would have a reason, such as: the war situation is urgent and we must start preparing immediately.

But Major Isabella was obviously worrying too much.

The captain with a crew cut just glanced at her and didn't say much.

He and Gravi probably didn't want to have any conflict, and what they said just now was just to establish their position as "leaders".

If Gravy is the star lion in the zoo,

Then he probably plays a role like an administrator.

Hina and many others noticed the subtle atmosphere between the three 'commanders'.

For a moment, she was at a loss.

There is no doubt that following Major Isabella who is leaving now is an unsociable act.

But Hina is always her soldier,

The girl didn't have the courage to leave like the white-blonde major, but while the crew-haired lieutenant colonel's attention was all on Gravi,

I still have the courage to slip away quietly like a squirrel.

"Major Isabella, wait for me,"

It wasn't until they left the terminal that Hina caught up with the major who was walking in front of her.

Hearing her voice, Isabella turned around in surprise, and a smile appeared on her originally calm face.

Apparently, she was lost in thought and didn't notice that Hina had caught up with her.

The two of them tacitly didn't mention what happened just now.

If Hina asks the major why he has to leave early, it means that he is complaining about his superiors and getting himself involved.

If the major said that she shouldn't have followed him out, it would be tantamount to denying the girl's courage.

So, they said nothing, but it seemed like they said everything.

It was not until they arrived beside their car that Major Isabella spoke again.

"That girl's name is Renna, right?"

"Huh?" The major suddenly talked about this matter, something he had never asked about himself. Hina was very surprised.

"…right,"

After hesitating for a while, she finally chose to confess to the major.

"Her name is Jing Qinrencai, and we used to be friends..."

"I'm sorry I never told the Major about this."

"You did a great job, there's nothing to apologize for."

Major Isabella patted the girl's head and praised her, "Helping a friend hide a secret is the most basic responsibility of a friend."

Hina looked at her superior with some fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had not said anything like; but as a soldier of Caius, you should not hide it.

Seeing her so nervous, Major Isabella couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"I'm neither a military police nor an inspector, so why would I care so much?"

"After all, in this world, friends always seem to end up on opposite sides without realizing it..."

The white-blond major looked up at the sky, as if trying to break free from gravity through the dense atmosphere and gaze at someone in space.

"Just like Xia and Chihaya and the others."

Hearing the familiar name from the major, Hina was stunned for a moment.

Her 'former friends' always chattered in her ears about the deeds of various super aces, as if they were born to be legends.

Hina always listens in one ear and out the other. Although those people seem very powerful, what does it have to do with an ordinary person like her?

But the story of 'Xia' and 'Chihaya' was a bit of an accident.

Firstly, their stories are so widely circulated that only a few people know about them.

The second is that Renna really likes them,

Apart from some fate, destiny, and some crazy fans' comments, Hina doesn't agree with them.

Hina thought...it was a sad yet beautiful story...
