At dawn, the sound of a heavy whistle wakes up the city's sleepy citizens like the sighs of old men.

A rumbling steam train passed through many important cities of the Josephic Empire, and finally reached the final destination of the journey, Xinlan, the imperial capital, after passing through the darkness of the dense forest outside the city.

As one of the transportation hubs of the imperial capital, although the passenger flow of Xinlan Railway Station cannot be compared with that of Truf Seaport, the passengers who can afford high train tickets are generally some local well-known high-level people, so whenever the steam train stops at the platform, there will always be a large number of richly dressed pick-up staff waiting outside the station.

As the train slowly stopped on the tracks, the doors were opened one after another, and the travelers rushed out.

Today's passengers are a bit special, most of them do not have a noble status, but their slightly childish faces are full of infinite hope for the future.

This train carried the new students of the Imperial Military Academy, and the hope for the future of the Josephs Empire.

After just fifteen days of preparation, the young people bid farewell to their hometown and embarked on a three-year journey to study, and a world full of unknown challenges awaited them.

The murmuring morning breeze blows through the treetops of Xinlan City, like spring silkworms gnawing on young leaves, announcing the beginning of a new day.

The city's busiest business district is a thriving scene, with merchants pushing open the glass doors of their shops early to welcome the first wave of customers in the morning.

Unlike most businesses, one shop on the corner has just turned off its warm-light rabbit chandelier, which makes the light in the hut look a little dim.

The "Rabbit Candy House" is a store that opened in the center of the business district only a few days ago, specializing in all kinds of sweets and plush toys, and the pink decoration style makes this small store look very cute, and the clerks in pink rabbit uniforms gather near the cash register and seem to be talking about something.

"Anyway, today is the official enrollment day for new students, and the college must be very lively, but it's a pity that I can't get to know those handsome juniors for the first time. A young woman in a pink dress is sorting the sweets, the girl is taller than the average man, and her slender legs are very eye-catching.

"I mean, Sister Freya, you have a little Snow as a follower and you are not satisfied?" a man in a rabbit suit leaned on the deerskin sofa on all sides, and a fluffy rabbit hood was worn crookedly on his head.

"You know what?" said Freya's pair of "rabbit ears" languidly tilted to one side, "Snow is a handsome man, but he's still young, and he's still a long way from my selection criteria." ”

That being said, my sister didn't mind waiting for him to grow up. Freya added.

"Well, I really don't understand the tastes of your city people..."

"If you don't understand, go to work. ”

With two braids hanging down on her chest, Freya turned around with her hands on her hips, her face was the kind of heroic beauty, just the right degree of charm and sassiness.

"Andre himself has been busy all night on the second floor, you two are fine, wearing a rabbit suit to sit here, the guests don't even move, I don't know and think it's the two mascots. ”

The bunny man slowly took off his hood, and Al's face with dark circles was revealed.

"Sister, I seriously suspect that the school gang sent us here to do voluntary labor," Al cried, "It's been a few days, and it's impossible for children to come to the candy house if they don't target children." ”

Al looked at the rabbits of various shapes on the display case and shook his head helplessly.

A few days ago, after a meeting, the decision-making level of the academy decided to set up a temporary base of the action team in this doll candy store on the corner of the business district, and the leader of the action team was Conrad, the leader of the special team of the Ministry of Armed Forces.

The other team is the security team led by the leader of the second team of the special forces, Dodor, who leads the members of the first and second teams stationed inside the Sea Boundary Prison to protect Cook's safety.

The supreme command of the two teams is in the hands of Hook, the interim principal of the Imperial Military Academy, but the two teams can also communicate with each other and support each other if necessary.

At the end of the day, crushing the Raven Order's conspiracy is the ultimate goal of their operation.

"Didn't that guy Li Shiyi tell you about the situation in the Imperial Capital Business District?" Freya's gaze fell on the other gray "rabbit" sitting cross-legged beside Al, "This area we are in is mixed, all kinds of characters may appear, if nothing else, the target will definitely hide here, and what we have to do is to keep our eyes open and find them." ”

"Then there's no need to wear this all night, right?"

"With the legendary experience of the two Imperial Arenas, if I don't wear this outfit for you, I'm afraid you will meet a few 'fanatics' every day, right?" Freya teased Al and Li Shiyi.

"My dear Chairman Li, don't you want to say something?" Al began to ask for help from the man in the gray rabbit suit next to him.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the training room of the fighting dojo to practice boxing, and I was a minute late for 100 push-ups and sit-ups. Li Shiyi's cold voice came from the hood.

"Well, senior brother, you're so kind to me..."Al's face suddenly widened.

"Poof", Freya couldn't help but laugh, the two of them were not on the same channel and the communication between them was one of the sources of joy in the candy house.

It's time to end today's camouflage work and go back to school to rest, and the atmosphere in the room is gradually relaxing.

That's when an uninvited guest appeared.

The door to the candy house was pushed open by an extremely soft palm, and a tall man in a performance dress walked in.

"Excuse me, do you have any mints that can remove breath?"

The man's voice caught the attention of the three of them, and their expressions were very different when they saw the customer.

Freya's face rippled with a shallow smile, and her cute but sexy outfit made her look extremely eye-catching, Al looked a little surprised, he consciously or unintentionally hid behind a rabbit doll to prevent being seen by men, while "gray rabbit" Li Shiyi stared at the man motionlessly, his hand unconsciously put on the Christmas cane leaning aside.

"What a coincidence, sir, that candy just arrived in the store yesterday, I wonder how many boxes Mr. needs?" Freya's "performance" is a dripping water.

"Oh, a box is fine. The man looked around at the candy store.

"Pink Bunny, help this gentleman pack a box of mints. Freya said to Al behind the container.

"Come... It's coming!" Al hurriedly put on his pink bunny hood and made his way to the mint shelf from memory.

"Sir, your little pet is so cute," Freya exclaimed at the sight of the gray rabbit on the man's shoulder, "may you let me touch it?"

When he heard the word "pet", the man's body stiffened visibly, and then his gaze slowly locked on Freya's body.

"It's not a pet!" the man's face was grim.

"I'm sorry, sir. Feeling the man's unkindness, in order not to cause trouble, Freya hurriedly apologized.

"Sir, the mints you wanted. Al came running just in time.

After taking the packed mints, the man dropped the two gold coins and turned away, ignoring the change that Freya handed back, and through the glass of the candy store, the man could be seen walking towards the densely populated area of the commercial district.

"Interesting fellow," Freya said with interest, twitching the gold coins in her hand, "don't the rich need to make change after payment?"

"His name is Kasa, the magician of the Fraor's Bar. Al tossed a mint candy into his mouth, and the cold sensation immediately spread in his mouth.

"You know him?"

"I don't know each other, I've seen the magic he performed with my brother before, it's very powerful, right, brother. Al looked in the direction of Li Shiyi.

"Hey, what about people?" Li Shiyi had long disappeared from the sofa, leaving only the rabbit suit that he had taken off.

"Don't look for it," Freya put the gold in the cash drawer with her head down, "the guy has left with the magician, and his Christmas cane with him. ”

"Here we go again... Can't you just say hello in advance?"

"Say hello?" Freya took out a long coat from under the cash register and draped it over her shoulders, "Then he won't be Li Shiyi." ”

"Quack", Al pouted, chewing on the mint hard candy.

"Al, tell Andre to inform the defense team that our action team is ready to retreat. Freya picked up a long canvas bag and fastened it diagonally over her body.

"Aren't you waiting for Mr. Conrad to come back?"

"No need, the teacher has his own arrangements. ”

"Got it. ”

The streets gradually increased with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages, but the "Rabbit Candy House" closed its doors when the smoke gradually became stronger, the pink rabbit curtains on the second floor covered the transparent doors and windows, and the wooden sign "temporarily closed" was hung on the glass of the main entrance.

The Imperial Military Academy is indeed bustling with activity today, with many fresh faces shuttling between the buildings in the teaching area, and from now on they will be the new owners of this school.

Avoiding the crowded main entrance of the college, three young men wearing hats and plain clothes entered the academy through the side entrance of the school, and after a brief exchange, the three of them walked briskly towards the teaching area of departments A, C, and D.

After a whole morning of physical and mental adjustment, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Al arrived at the training room of the fighting dojo on time.

Not surprisingly, Li Shiyi really hasn't come back yet, without Li Shiyi to guide him, Al feels a lot more relaxed when he practices boxing alone, probably because he has temporarily gotten rid of Li Shiyi's strict requirements, Al seems to be a little absent-minded.

Because later in the afternoon he was going to meet someone, someone he had agreed to meet.
