"Anyway, I'll investigate this matter again. Highlander directly expressed his determination, stood up, and said solemnly.

"In that case, I ...... too"

"No! you still need to go to the national competition, and you don't have time to deal with other things. Before Cook could finish speaking, Hylando interrupted him sharply, his expression serious and solemn, "Do you know what is my other purpose for letting you participate in the national competition?"

A look of surprise crossed Cook's eyes, and he shook his head in confusion.

I always thought that Sister Lan let him participate in the national competition because of the teacher's entrustment, but I didn't expect that there was another layer of deep meaning in this?

"It's to prevent those old guys in the Legislature. Hylando said in a condensed voice, "It was because of the recommendation of Old Man Hal that you were able to enter the headquarters as a first-order ability, which our headquarters can recognize, but those old guys will not." ”

"They won't clearly understand the weight of Old Man Howl, sitting in a high position for so many years, what they have maintained has long changed, for their own nobility and majesty, they can go around without scruples. ”

Fenris also nodded lightly on the side, and after Hailando's words, he continued: "In such a formal background, our headquarters is the fragrant bun in their eyes, think about it, if you can accuse and reprimand at will in the first department directly under the empress, how much satisfaction can be obtained from their majesty and dignity." ”

"So, as a first-order supernatural person, will I become the biggest flaw in their eyes?" Cook also nodded slightly and groaned.

"That's right. Highlando's gaze became more solemn, "So, I hope you can do well in the national competition, and if you can represent the empire in the global competition, it will greatly disturb those old guys." ”

"So, do you understand how important the national competition is to you?" asked Fenris.

Cook nodded solemnly, the two seniors had already said it so clearly and clearly, if he couldn't understand the stakes again, he would be stupid to go too far.

"We, as members of the Empress's First Division, are doing our best to reduce the pressure on the Empress, do you understand?"

Fenris patted Cook on the shoulder and said the last sentence in a serious voice, but Cook was silent and just looked at Fenris with a clear gaze.

In this regard, Fenris also smiled slightly, not speaking.

……

Highlando's action was very fast, and the next day he left the headquarters on the spatial teleportation station and went to Hajigis City again, so far, there were only a bunch of big men left in the office of the headquarters.

Speaking of which, this weekend...... Those two are okay, right?

In the office, Cook's thoughts suddenly drifted away, and the figures of Sheryl and Elaine suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but think to himself with some concern.

These two people have no other skills, and they have the ability to find awkwardness for themselves.

It's been a long time since they've been in love with each other, but they have to be like a bitter sadomasochistic drama, should they be said to be ignorant and bumpy in youth, or are those two people bitter idiots!

"Cook, is it uncomfortable in the office, do you want to go out and have a good time?"

Just as Cook's thoughts were flying, Meisjie's big hand suddenly slapped Cook's shoulder, and he smirked and laughed.

"Go out?" Cook was slightly stunned, then sighed, looked at Maisjie and said helplessly, "Senior, how can you leave your work behind?"

"No, no, no, it's not what you think, it's part of the job. Maisjie turned away and pointed back, revealing Duke and the others behind him.

I saw them twisting their necks one by one, flipping their wrists, and making a picture of eagerness to try and gearing up, as if they couldn't wait to go out and vent thoroughly.

Cook became more and more puzzled by this, and his whole person was like a faded sculpture, motionless looking at the seniors who were gradually restless.

"Hehe, you'll know when you get there. ”

Maisjie and Duke glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, then squeezed forward with bad intentions, put Cook on both shoulders, lifted them up, and were carried out of the office door directly under Cook's bewildered and confused expression, and rushed out of the palace all the way.

"Wait, two seniors, where are you going to carry me?" Cook's hurried voice came from afar, but he was responded to by two lawless and rampant laughter, even a little perverted.

"Brother, I'll take you out today and have a good time!"

"Look at your fine skin and tender meat, you look like you lack exercise!"

……

"Well, this is, the Institute?" Cook, who was placed between the two seniors, looked at a majestic tall building in front of him, puzzled.

What did you want to do when you brought him here? Cook couldn't help but think to himself, his eyes were scanning up and down the tall building, although he had seen it from a distance a few times under the introduction of the dean, but this kind of close observation was not once, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

The high-rise building is not much different from many skyscrapers in the imperial capital, but the glass curtain windows of this high-rise building are more crystal smooth, and there are many colorful flowing halos flowing up and down from the top and bottom, bringing a sense of dazzling and mysterious aesthetics, which makes people just look at it, and there will be a sense of high-end science and technology.

Among them, the most amazing is the bottom gate of this high-rise building, which is constructed by a special flowing water ability prop, which flows rapidly from above in the form of a waterfall, and the sound of flowing water is rhythmic and soft, like a real waterfall in the forest, which makes people feel calm.

"I say, seniors, what do you want to do?" Cook swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in a weak tone towards the five seniors gathered around him.

"Don't worry, you'll know in a moment. Fenris smiled mysteriously.

Mysjie and Duke also smiled mysteriously, and took Cook directly into the water curtain gate, but there was not the slightest splash of water, not even a trace of the corner of the clothes was wet.

A shout also came: "Xiaofu, it's still a few of us, you just need to register!"

"Wait!" Xiaofu was a registrar in the hall of the research institute, she looked at the figure of Mai Sijie and the others rushing by, first holding her head in her hands in pain, and then shouting in grief as if she was complaining, "This time you guys do it lightly!"

The sound of thumping footsteps rang back and forth in Cook's ears, very chaotic and noisy, it was the trotting sound of Fenris and the others, and after turning a staircase, they were staggering straight down, and soon after, they came to a very empty underground garden.

Cook looked slightly distracted, a look of stunned amazement, and couldn't even say a word.

Because he really didn't expect that there would be a place in the world where the garden was built in the underground space and restored so perfectly.

There are warm sunshine here, as well as retro elegant pavilions, not to mention this picturesque sea of gorgeous flowers, which is simply visible everywhere.

"This is the snowflake that only happens on the ice, and why is there here?" Cook walked forward in a somewhat distracted state, and when he reached a certain point, a cold sensation came from his ankle and made him come back to his senses and lower his head.

At his left foot, a sculpting ice blue flower swaying gracefully, exuding a unique beauty.

The growing conditions of the snow flower are very harsh, without the extremely cold temperature and the snow scattered in the sky, even the buds cannot grow.

Therefore, Cook was very surprised and shocked, after all, nothing in this flower sea space can meet the growth conditions of snowflakes, and he can't help but start to doubt.

"Come, who's going to fight me first?" Duke's shouting suddenly came, and the frightened Cook's shoulders trembled slightly, and then he turned his head in confusion, with a look of cuteness.

You're going to fight here?

Cook's face became strange when he came to this astonishing fact, and he looked at the flower gardens everywhere, and was speechless in astonishment.

You're a second-order supernatural being! Aren't you afraid of making a mess of this place if you fight here? Later, the person in charge here will ask, how will you reply to people?

However, Duke didn't care about it, and when he saw that everyone around him looked at him one by one and didn't speak, the shouting fireworks couldn't help but become more and more arrogant.

"I'm going to fix this itchy guy. Manton stepped forward, pinched his wrist, and smiled confidently.

"Senior, is it okay to fight here?" Seeing that the two were about to fight, Cook hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.

"Don't worry, Cook, it's all a virtual scene, and it doesn't actually exist. Fenris had already guessed that Cook would have such a concern, so he quickly answered it.

"Virtual scene?!" Cook exclaimed in surprise, crouched down, and looked nervous and solemn towards a petal.

In a fluctuating array of square light, Cook's fingers went straight through the petals, without the slightest sense of touching them.

"But, what's the matter with that snowy flower?"

The reality he saw with his own eyes made Cook's pupils shrink suddenly, and he had to believe that this was a virtual scene, but the cold feeling from the snow flower was so real that it was difficult for him to deny the snow flower.

"Okay, leave it alone, concentrate on the show, this is a second-order ability's battle, don't you want to take a closer look?" Fenris whispered as he put his arm around Cook's shoulder.

"I'm going to see this!" Cook, who was reminded by Fenris, suddenly came back to his senses, and the doubts that had been in his heart were thrown out of the sky for a moment, and he looked at Duke and Manton excitedly.
