"Senior brother, Professor Russell said to let me come to you to learn some practical martial arts skills, but why did you only let me practice punching moves?" sweat slid down Al's cheeks and onto the ground.

There was a skylight open at the top of the dojo, and a ray of sunlight fell just on Al's face.

"What I'm teaching you now is just to control explosiveness" The warm spring breeze ran into the room, and even Li Shiyi's voice was a little lazy, "I can't even practice the most basic things, how do you want me to teach you next." ”

"But I'm already practicing well. Al glanced at the fight dolls that had been beaten deep and shallow.

"If brute force alone can be called martial arts, aren't those strong men born to be martial arts masters?" Li Shiyi asked rhetorically, "Fighting puppets won't fight back, but your enemies will." ”

"I'd like to have a real fight, but I don't have a chance. Al muttered a little dissatisfied.

Li Shiyi didn't pay attention to Al's complaints, and he was extremely stern at the moment, who had always been unsmiling.

"If you don't mind, I can be your sparring partner for a while, Al" A blue-haired teenager walked in at the door of the training room, wrapped around him in a tight leather top, but the boy was wearing a loose martial arts uniform.

Al turned his head to the side, and a familiar face came into view.

"Andre?" Al was a little surprised, "what are you doing here?"

"The research center of the Ministry of Armed Forces is temporarily blocked, and I have nothing to do, so I came to you. Andrei had a little tiredness on his face, and it seemed that he had been running around for the Armed Forces Department for a while now.

"Senior Li Shiyi is good. Andre noticed Li Shiyi, who was reading under the window, and immediately greeted him politely.

The black hair swayed slightly, Li Shiyi nodded at Andre in response, and then returned to the sea of books.

"Senior brother, he's always been like this, you don't have to worry too much," Al explained, "Is Minister Anglo okay?"

"The minister is no different from before, except that his alcoholism is worse than before, and now most of the affairs of the armed forces are transferred to the various departments under him," Andre noticed the black veil wrapped around Al's arm to pay tribute to the deceased.

"It's hard for anyone to accept," a drop of sweat slipped from the corner of Al's eye.

"I'm here because Vice Chancellor Douglas asked me to give you a word before he left. ”

As he spoke, Andrei pulled out a new pair of red tactical glasses from his pocket, and he lightly touched the lenses twice, and a light curtain poured out of the mirror and spread it on the wall.

"What kind of high-tech is this?" Al's mouth opened in surprise, "Andrey, you're not going to be an alien, are you?"

"Al, Senior Li Eleven," Andre said, "these are the words that Principal Douglas left for you. ”

Li Shiyi, who had not been silent for a long time, closed the ancient book for the first time and looked at the mottled figure on the wall.

Douglas's image appears on the walls, and the layout of the surrounding facilities suggests that it is a conference room in the administration building.

The flames flickered, and Douglas, who was standing in front of the window, lit the tobacco in his pipe, and a puff of white smoke rose.

"Al, Li Shiyi, the following is the last exercise of the principal's rights before I leave office," Douglas's eyes were hidden in the night, and he held the "Imperial Secret Letter" in his hand that had been opened.

"A huge net has been unfolded that envelops the whole of Xinlan, unfortunately the hunter and the prey may be in the net, and there are some things that I need to investigate personally, so I need to leave the academy for a while. ”

"Remember, don't degenerate into demonic minions in my absence, and I don't want to see the corpse of any of you when I return. ”

The moment Douglas put on his trench coat, the lights dimmed, leaving only the lone pipe in the room, the tobacco of the spark pointing out the window to the rising sun.

The light and shadow on the wall flickered twice, then vanished.

"Andre, is this what Vice Chancellor Douglas left us?" Al was confused, "Maybe I'm stupid, I don't understand it a little." ”

"Hooke's acting headmaster has been closer to the Crusaders since he took office, and Vice Chancellor Douglas may have noticed something earlier, so something bad may happen during Hooke's temporary tenure as president of the college, and I think that Vice Chancellor Douglas must have something more important to do, so he has to leave for a while, so he has put some of his responsibilities on our shoulders. ”

Andre looked preoccupied, "Al, just protect yourself anyway." ”

"Well, you too," Al said, "actually, I think this explosion is quite unusual..."

Al was about to ramble some of his inferences to Andre when a black figure hurried by, and the eastern dragon behind him seemed to be reborn in the light.

"Hey, senior brother, where are you going?" asked Al as he turned to Li Shiyi's back.

"Go out for a walk, that's the end of today's training. Li Shiyi didn't look back.

"Oh," Al scratched his head in confusion, "how strange is the person I met today. ”

After Li Shiyi left, only Al and Andre were left in the training room of the fighting dojo.

"Come, sit down, Andrey. Al beckoned André to sit down, then took a glass of ice water from the table next to him and poured it down.

"Here, drink some, it's very refreshing. Al handed André another glass.

"Al, no kidding, I don't need this. With that, Andre tapped his chest with a dull thud of metal.

"Oh, I forgot you're a mecha body, I'm sorry," Al wiped his sweat with a towel, "Actually, I've always wondered how your body came to be like this." ”

"Al, I'd love to tell you too, but there are some things that are really hard to explain, so I'll tell you when I have time, okay?"

"Oh, it's fine, don't say it if you're embarrassed," Al smiled brightly, "I'm a person who didn't finish elementary school, and I can't understand what you said." ”

Andrei thought for a moment and pulled back his leather coat, the delicate and numerous parts were constantly moving in Andrei's chest, and there was a blue crystalline core on his chest, and the lines that glowed blue covered the entire chest.

"Sometimes, the progress of science and technology is not necessarily a good thing for human beings, and I am like this, born with the blessing of science and technology, and will be dependent on technology for life. ”

Andrei's pupils flickered with a strange light, and he looked a little blankly at the flock of birds flying freely outside the window, and then stopped his gaze on the sea of clouds that were constantly changing shapes.

"Alright, let's not talk about that," Al bumped Andre on the shoulder, "just make it your secret, everyone has their own secrets, don't they?"

"Well, you're right, Al. Andrei also smiled with relief.

The chatter outside the training room gradually increased, and it seemed that the B-department students who had come to train were slowly gathering.

"By the way, Andre, you are well-informed, have you ever heard of the meaning of 'Yin and Yang Balance'?" said Al coldly.

"What is it?" said Andrei, with a big question mark on his face, "I don't think I've heard of it." ”

"I don't know, I heard that guy Li Shiyi muttered a few words, just a little curious," Al waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it." ”

"I almost forgot, Andre, is it true that you just said you wanted to be my sparring partner?" Al smirked evilly, pinching the "steel bone" armor hidden under his fighting uniform, the powerful lines of which were exciting.

"Forget it, it's not good to hurt you. "Andre is up to the question.

"Roar, don't talk too early, right?"

The two separated in an instant, each looking at each other with ill intentions.

A few minutes later, there was a loud noise in the training room, which also attracted the attention of all the students in the fighting dojo.

Then Director Sava angrily pushed open the door of the training room, and a choking smoke wafted out, and Sava immediately crawled with black lines on his face.

"Al, what are you doing?!"

"I'm sorry!!"

The coastal downtown area of Xinlan City, which is brightly lit at night, is different from the downtown area, and the people who come here to consume are generally some grassroots officials or even most of them are low-level citizens, without too many constraints of etiquette, many office workers with excessive work pressure like to come here to spend boring nights.

Outside the fence of an open-air music bar, two or three young men in prison guard uniforms chatted without saying a word, while their eyes swept over the women who came and went on the street, especially scantily clad girls, who would make provocative and vulgar remarks.

"Damn, I did it in vain again, I knew that Lao Tzu was not so active, and I didn't get the benefits and let the boss scold him. One of the pockmarks unabashedly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"You kid is not satisfied, how about breaking into the nuns' rooms without the instructions of the leader, it's exciting, isn't it?!" The other one-eyed dragon had a lewd smile on his face, which made people feel a little disgusting.

"Stimulate a fart! Lao Tzu was beaten as soon as he entered!" "Mazi touched the bulging bag on his head, "Lao Tzu has been a prison guard for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been beaten by outsiders except for the leader!"

"Hahaha. A skinny monkey-like prison guard next to him forced a smile.

"You're laughing at a fart!" Mazi slapped the skinny monkey in the face, "As far as you are the most cowardly, what kind of oil and water can you get by following behind that group of soldiers? Damn, you settle the bill this time." ”

When the thin monkey heard the word "checkout", his face immediately wrinkled like a bun.

While the three of them were talking about some vulgar topics, a handsome-looking man in a suit walked over, he was tall, but his face looked exactly like he was about twenty years old.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you," said the young man, whose leather shoes stopped abruptly, and he held a glass of champagne in his hand, "I seem to have heard about the 'monastery' from your mouths, and I wonder if you are talking about the 'Rhine abbey'. ”

The young man drank the champagne down, a subtle coldness on his face.
