Looking at Howlen in front of him, Nair was a little helpless, and the intricate words poured to the tip of his tongue, but he still couldn't say it according to his thoughts, and finally just turned into a sentence "Is it seriously hurt", after asking, Nair looked at Holden's face seriously, and finally couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Squadron Leader...... What the hell is going on?"

Nair's heart was full of worry, since there had been casualties, it meant that things might be far more serious than imagined, even if Hodden was now sitting in front of him unharmed, the fear and fear still swelled up, firmly clamping his heart.

But Nair understood the relationship between Squadron Leader Issa and Horden, not only colleagues, but also friends, and he could understand Horden's heavy mood now, so he still suppressed the uneasiness and panic in his heart, and looked at Horden quietly, and the concern in his eyes gently fell on Horden's shoulder.

Although Nair didn't say anything, the intricacies of wanting to speak and stopping had already expressed too many emotions, all of which Hodden could understand.

"I wasn't there. ”

"By the time I arrived at the scene, the squadron leader had already died, and I tried to follow the trail to chase the murderer, but the torrential rain affected the judgment and tracking of clues, and I still couldn't get on it after all, but ended up in a mess. Leader...... It was an accident that none of us expected. ”

Despite the ambiguity, Holden is not lying, all he tells is the truth, and the small part of the facts that Nair can know, it is estimated that the information jointly announced by the Third Jurisdiction Security Team and the Eighth District Security Team is probably the same content.

Nair, however, was still able to capture the thrill behind the understatement," ...... ......"He had many, many words to say, but he didn't know how to sort out an idea accurately, so he called out and stopped again."

"Nair, I know what I'm doing. Hodden smiled at Nair.

No more explanations, but a look and a smile are enough.

Nair let out a long breath, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'm going to the market after work tomorrow." ”

"Can anything?" Hoden's eyes lit up immediately.

Looking at Horden's eager appearance, Nair was directly amused, "Yes, anything can be done." The premise is that we still need to pay our rent for the week in advance. ”

"No problem, no problem. Holden waved his hand and said happily, "The deliciousness of food is not directly related to the price, and the common people can always dig out the different ways of cooking the ingredients, don't underestimate people's wisdom." Do you know......" As he spoke, Hoden's saliva began to secrete again, and he began to share with Nair the food that could be enjoyed at the entrance of the market, and the appearance of foaming at the mouth was almost forgotten:

They were still sitting at the table, and the dinner was not over yet.

......

For the next week, Holden was in a state of recuperation-

It is not a recuperation on a hospital bed, but it is forbidden to use psionic energy to slowly restore a state of recuperation.

Although Hoden did not suffer serious injuries, the use of psionic energy frequently challenged the limits of mental power, and he had to recuperate and rest before he could fully recover. In this process, Olsen played an important role, and the genius doctor lived up to his reputation, not only eliminating Hoden's hidden danger of internal injuries, but also making Hoden a blessing in disguise.

However, during the recuperation period, Holden still did not rest.

Normally, Hoden still went to the college as usual, and during this time, he introduced his first midterm exam back on college campus.

On the one hand, Hodden began to study the Tree of Dawn seriously, and Howden's frequent inquiries to professors can be seen in psionic courses such as mental power, induction, and control.

On the other hand, Hodden also established some personal relationships with Professor Accra Seneca of Potions Science, not only to discuss potions, but later Hoden found out that Professor Seneca also had a lot of research on psionic circles, and he believed that it was not for nothing that Mattigan Stinson had both potions and circles at the time, which also made Professor Seneca and Hoden have a lot of common views -

Not a topic, just an opinion.

Because there was basically no dialogue between Professor Seneca and Holden, their communication came more from reading books, Professor Seneca introduced some reading lists to Hearnen, some of which could be found in the library, and some of which were from the professor's private collection, and after Hodden finished reading, he wrote a report on the relevant papers, and then Professor Seneca read them.

This pattern of getting along is also what Ray Peters calls the "nerd communication method", but judging from his midterm exam scores, Hodden's Potions score is the highest among the first-year freshmen at Syrkpace Academy.

Although the grades of the Potions class are not concerned, and the students generally have a "as long as they don't fail the course" mentality, and have little interest in the course itself, it can still be regarded as a small windfall.

Outside of school classrooms, in the midst of a busy schedule of midterm exams, Hodden attended Issa's funeral.

The Eighth Precinct Security Team bid farewell to the first female squadron leader in Iwabuchi's history with the most solemn and formal ceremony, and the funeral was attended by the officers of the Third Precinct, as well as His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Count Gustav, who presented Issa with the official memorial and decoration of the Empire.

In addition, Hodden also found Albert's son Ames, a ten-year-old child who had been orphaned by both parents in just a few months.

Originally, according to the official procedure, Ames would be sent to an orphanage, where he spent his childhood until he reached adulthood, but somewhat unexpectedly, before entering the orphanage, Ames was adopted by a couple -

It turned out to be Oliver's parents.

Oliver had found his parents with the help of Hodden and Isa, and the middle-aged couple had finally found their child, for which they were always grateful, and now, Issa and Alber had both died in the same accident, and they had decided to adopt Ames after learning that Ames had been orphaned.

Not only to thank Isa, but also to not want Ames to be like Oliver was to end up on the streets.

They chose to convey their warmth and kindness in their own way, and they hope to continue to pass it on.

During this time, the whole abyss was calm, and there seemed to be no waves, not even the killer who had sniped Holden on the street in the first place did not appear again, as if nothing had happened, but Holden knew that this was the calm before the storm, not a signal of safety, on the contrary, it was a signal of danger.

And for Holden, there are really a lot of things that need to be done now, one of which is to quickly improve his strength-

Perhaps, this is the only thing Holden learned from the tragedy in the Third Jurisdiction.
