75 Chapter 075 - Friendship in Disguise

"Modern Military Equipment and Its Applications" is a public elective course that has been offered by Olbi National University since its establishment.

Judging from the course selection in previous years, students from military academies mainly chose this course

In terms of the ratio of male and female students, there are more boys than girls - after all, boys always have a natural passion for weapons and mechas.

After the deadline for elective courses this semester, the data collected by the academic affairs system is not much different from the data at this time in previous years.

However, when Axes and the others walked into the lecture hall, they felt very clearly - is this classroom too crowded today?!

Such classrooms with public electives can generally accommodate nearly 500 people.

But even the most popular classes in the whole school can only guarantee a 70 to 80 percent attendance rate.

So when Axes saw that the entire lecture hall was already densely packed and almost full, he naturally showed a surprised expression.

When he was alone, he used to sneak in through the back door and find a place in the back, so that it would not be easy to attract the attention of others.

But today he made a special appointment with Dominica, and could only wait at the back door and not enter first, but he was already a little anxious, afraid that the more he went to the back, the more he would not have a connecting position.

Fortunately, Dominica is also a very punctual girl, and she made an appointment to meet for a little bit, a little bit, and stood in front of Ax.

When she walked into the classroom, Dominica was also a little surprisedβ€”she didn't expect the elective to be so popular, and everyone was so enthusiastic that it seemed very lively.

The two of them were about to find a place when Dominica's terminal suddenly lit up, and she clicked to see that it was Lilith.

In fact, since the end of the simulated combat in military training, Dominica's quiet life has become a bit noisy - something she didn't expect at all.

Because she comes from the distant Fifth Star Zone, she is a "foreigner" person for local students.

If Prince Ax is different from her classmates because of special recruitment, then she can't fit in with others quickly because of her family background and personality.

The targeting and prejudice of her classmates is nothing for Dominica to think about and feel sorry for.

Her goal is very clear - if she can't keep up with the sentinels in terms of physical fitness, then at least intellectually and strategically, she must make herself a qualified staff officer who can deal with front-line crises.

When simulating actual combat, she is dedicated to her duties, being a good captain, and of course, she must do her best to guide and help her teammates at any critical time.

So walking on Lilith's back wasn't a special thing for Dominica.

If it was His Highness Ax who was in trouble at the time, and the situation was so urgent, Dominica wouldn't mind carrying the boy on his back, but it would have taken a little more effort.

So when Lilith thanked her afterwards, she nodded and accepted, but when the other party said that she wanted to give a gift or invite her to dinner, Dominica did not hesitate to refuse.

Note that it's a direct rejection, not a "polite rejection."

Dominica can imagine how direct her tone is, and how much she doesn't give the other person a face.

However, she seems to have underestimated the little girl's persistence this time.

From that day on, whenever there was a class, Lilith pulled her small team and had to sit next to Dominica, even during meals.

Although Dominica is not used to getting along with many people, she is not too self-conscious, and it can be seen from the fact that she did not refuse Prince Ax's "accosting", if the other party takes the initiative, she will not completely lose face.

But there is a word called "inch by inch".

When Dominica thought that Lilith was just trying to show her closeness to her former "comrades" during class and dinner, the other party had already asked for Dominica's private messenger number and began to message her from time to time.

Truth be told, sometimes the content of that message ...... It really made Dominica a little confused.

"Look, I'm wearing a limited edition lipstick from the Fox Bright series today, do you think it looks good? I also have a brand new one, would you like to give it to you! Or do you not like the Bright Collection, do you like the Velvet Collection? ”

"Miss Lucy is wearing a dress that is so short today, and the boys are laughing when she bends over...... Oh yes, I feel like you rarely wear skirts, Fox's department store in Olbi has a new spring product, and it has been on the market for a long time, and we haven't made it to military training! ”

"There is a romantic literary film released on Tuesday, starring xxx, xxx you must know, the new national male god, a few of us made an appointment to watch it together, will you go with us?"

"Recently, on the way to the restaurant, many clubs are recruiting, do you want to join the flower club or dance club?"

……

There are several messages like this every day, and even if you sit in the same classroom, the other party can find an opportunity to send one, which makes Dominica feel puzzled and at the same time, she is still a little overwhelmed in her heart.

It was as if now, she had received another text message from Lilith.

"Grace and I are in the eleventh row in the middle, we have reserved a place for you and His Highness Axes, come here! I've seen both of you! ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ax followed Dominica directly to a row of seats in the middle of the classroom, only to find that several of the students in their class who had taken this public elective were sitting together.

Lilith and Grace, the girls who used to be together, plus the other two girls who were in the same group last time, Peter and Roque, were also there, looking up at them in unison.

"You're so slow, there's no place for you any later, okay?"

Lilith gave them a place between the boys and girls, and naturally Dominica sat next to Lilith, while Ax sat close to Peter.

As if she felt that Lilith's tone was a little unkind, Grace opened her mouth to explain: "There are too many people today, and the position is not easy to occupy, and there are many people who want to sit in ...... just now."

Akers immediately nodded to show that he understood very much, but he still asked with some confusion: "When you chose the course, didn't you think it was so difficult to choose this course?" "Why is it so lively now?

Generally speaking, when the school opens up the course selection system, it is usually difficult to choose the very popular public elective courses.

Almost as soon as the system is turned on...... Click in...... Okay, there's no spot.

And this popular elective will have several distinguishing features:

First, the content is extremely interesting, or very practical;

Second, the pass rate of the course is high, and the score given by the teacher is also high;

Third, the teacher is handsome or beautiful;

According to the previous situation, "modern military equipment and its application" does not comply with any of them.

First of all, this is a more professional course, so generally only military academies and enthusiasts will choose, girls or quieter boys may not be very interested;

Second, because the teacher who taught this course was a very rigorous and demanding old professor, the pass rate in the past was no more than 80 percent, which is too low for a public elective course that "can graduate after completing credits"!

The most important thing is that because he is an old professor, he may also be a personable scholar when he is young, but when he is sixty years old, it is difficult to make a young boy and girl with a vote of "appearance first" have a mentality.

So when Akers finished taking all his courses, he looked back at the number of people who chose this course, and found that there were obviously 400 places for "modern military equipment and its applications", and less than 200 students chose it.

Because of this, the time agreed between Axes and Dominica was not very advanced.

- In his opinion, with such a large classroom, it should be a casual place to sit at that time!

Therefore, this crowded scene can be said to have completely shocked His Royal Highness the Little Prince - it feels like there are more than 400 people!!

"Didn't I tell you? Because of the change of teacher, many people regret not taking this course! Lilith looked over with a hint of pride and explained to Ax: "It has long been said on the school forum that if you don't choose it, you have to come to listen to the class. ”

Ax didn't expect Lieutenant General Clyde to be so popular with students!

"He was born in a military family, his father is a senior general in the army, his military rank is not low, and he is young and promising, the key is to be single, he must be popular!" The ball snorted in Ax's consciousness.

The reason why the military department wanted to send Lieutenant General Clyde to "teach" at the school was to establish a high image of the army among the students.

With the same military rank and family background, although Hayne is no worse than Clyde, his married status is definitely not as attractive to young people as a single nobleman.

At this point, even General Chen Jingxing has no advantage over Lieutenant General Clyde - after all, this federal marshal is also engaged! The betrothal is still the prince of the neighboring country, and it is estimated that there are not many variables......

"Isn't there a lot of rivals in Dominica?" Akers felt that for the time being, there was no future for completing this task.

Qiuqiu comforted Ax: "Even if Clyde doesn't come to school, he still has a lot of suitors, and now he just adds a few hundred more." ”

"......" Akers.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When Lieutenant General Clyde walked into the classroom, it caused quite a stir in the classroom.

It's the same as everyone imagined, and it's the same as shown in the photo - tall, handsome, and extraordinary...... I am also the youngest lieutenant general in the federal army!

Such a Lieutenant General Clyde is probably no worse than a Prince Charming in the hearts of the students of the Federation.

Especially when the other party is still wearing a military uniform...... The uniform temptation can be said to exude his personal charm to the extreme!

- Look at the close-fitting uniform with the waist, and the long straight legs and riding boots...... It's just a big killer?!

Although there were many students below, as a second-seat sentinel with super five senses, Clyde easily found Prince Ax sitting in the middle in a space without visual impairment.

He also soon discovered that the students in the row next to His Royal Highness Akers were all guidesβ€”the cold-looking girl sitting next to Prince Ax, and even a second seat.

Lieutenant General Clyde was certain that he had never met the second guide, who was either born into an ordinary family or did not live in Sist.

- You know, all the young second-hand guides who lived in Syst and came from a distinguished family had met him at banquets and events......

Of course, he didn't ignore the identities of these guidesβ€”several of them had parents or grandparents who were prominent figures active in federal politics and the military.

Based on the small movements of their communication, Lieutenant General Clyde could already determine that these students should be classmates of His Highness Ax.

After a brief pause, Lieutenant General Clyde turned on the classroom system, transferred the data from his terminal, and prepared to start the lecture.

In fact, the courseware of this course was finally decided by a special team formed by the military department, which discussed and reported on it.

Compared to the previous professor's course, it may be updated - because the army itself has the latest equipment and weapons.

What needs to be kept secret can't be announced, but what can be shown to students...... That's right, it's a show!

Why do countries set up special national defense courses at the student level, on the one hand, it is to demonstrate national strength and build confidence for the people; On the one hand, it is also to attract highly educated talents to join the army.

Look, aren't these pieces of equipment amazing?! Aren't these weapons cool?! Isn't the mecha very awesome?! Isn't the warship very domineering?!

So what are you waiting for?! Come and join the army and fight the sea of stars together!!

Choosing a handsome officer to be a living signboard will give students the illusion that "all soldiers are so handsome" or "you can become so handsome after joining the army".

Of course, it turns out that after joining the army, most people will really become handsome or beautiful.

On the one hand, it is because high-intensity, continuous physical training will keep their bodies in optimal condition;

On the other hand, because living in the army for a period of time will make people develop a kind of spirit that is resolute, strong, upright and upward, and looks naturally more temperamental and different.

As for tanning and roughening the skin, it is actually not a big deal in a modern society with highly developed technology.

"Good afternoon, I'm Clyde Hall, from the First Legion of the Federation, and this semester I will teach you, Modernization of Military Equipment and Its Applications, this course."

Clyde's opening remarks were very brief, and then he immediately began to cut into the lesson, neither continuing to introduce himself nor saying anything superfluous, which can be said to fully demonstrate the neat and clean style of the soldiers.

Dominica, who was a little dissatisfied with the change of teacher, raised her eyebrows lightly - well, at least she wasn't a megalomaniac who was good at boasting or liked to talk nonsense, which was a blessing in misfortune......

Axes listened to the lecture and took notes among the students who had to applaud and cheer from time to time, while keeping an eye on Dominica's reaction......

- This elective course is really "wonderful"!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Lieutenant General Clyde spoke very well!" After class, having dinner with Dominica, Akes sighed as he walked, turned his head to look at Dominica: "And I'm really handsome!" ”

- Of course, it's still a little worse than their general!

Dominica, who was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans today, felt that Prince Ax wanted to discuss with him, and it was not good to remain silent, so he said lightly: "Well, it's not bad." ”

I don't know if this "good" is a lecture or a look, Akes was about to continue to ask questions, when he suddenly found a familiar person on the side of the road.

"Lieutenant General Clyde?!" Ax exclaimed quietly.

"Your Highness Akers, good afternoon." The other party greeted politely.

……

When he and Ax met at Olbi's amusement park before, Clyde knew that the little prince had chosen this elective.

Although it was in public, out of politeness, he decided to say hello to His Royal Highness the Prince after class before leaving.

Axes didn't expect Lieutenant General Clyde to be so polite, and hurriedly greeted the other party.

"Good chance, Ax!" Seeing that the little prince hadn't realized what a rare opportunity this was, Qiuqiu hurriedly reminded him.

- The hero and heroine are here, is there anything more fateful than this?! When will you not act at this time?!!!

When Akers said this, he immediately realized that the opportunity could not be missed.

He immediately sent out a sincere invitation: "It's noon now, do you want to go back to the military headquarters after lunch?" The restaurant on campus is very good, please allow me to recommend it to you. ”

Lieutenant General Clyde was a little surprised, because the "recommendation" that the other party said was actually an invitation, and it meant to invite him to dinner.

Although he was a little confused, he did not refuse, he nodded, but insisted: "Please let me invite you this time." ”

The last time we had dinner at the amusement park, it was Chen Jing who paid the bill, and Clyde felt that it was the right time to invite Prince Ax back.

When Dominica heard the conversation between Prince Ax and Lieutenant General Clyde, she prepared to say goodbye to them and go to the dining room alone.

After all, the other party was a high-ranking general in the army, and he was also the teacher of one of their public elective courses, and Dominica didn't know Clyde at all, so she naturally felt that she wouldn't go with them.

Who knew that Prince Ax suddenly said to Lieutenant General Clyde: "This is my classmate, Dominica, and we are about to go to the restaurant together!" ”

Then they were very enthusiastic about each other.

Lieutenant General Clyde gentlemanly invited Dominica, who was with His Royal Highness the Prince, to lunch.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The heroine sits on the right and the hero sits on the left, having lunch together and talking in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere......

- What a beautiful scene!

- If you don't have a light bulb next to you!!

Axes sat across from Lieutenant General Clyde, poking the steak in the bowl with a fork on his face, but a little helpless in his heart.

He only knew that Lilith's father was the director of the Olbigt District Construction Department, but he didn't know that Lilith's cousin was married to Lieutenant General Clyde's own uncle.

However, Lilith and Lieutenant General Clyde don't have much to do with each other, they can only know each other. So when referring to Lieutenant General Clyde, Lilith didn't take the initiative to talk about this relationship.

After all, no girl wants everyone to know that her seniority is higher than that of a teacher! How old does that sound!!

- If you look at it strictly by seniority, Lieutenant General Clyde is going to call Lilith his cousin!

When Lilith ran over to find Dominica, she happened to see them eating together, and out of politeness, Lieutenant General Clyde had no choice but to extend an invitation to Lilith.

Of course, the other friends who came with Lilith saw this posture and decisively decided not to participate in their circle, and "left" Lilith to eat elsewhere.

As a result, this table has changed from a combination of "a pair of heroes and heroines + light bulbs" to a combination of "a pair of heroes and heroines + light bulb No. 1 + light bulb No. 2".

The hero and heroine themselves don't feel disturbed - in fact, they are the ones at this table who are least familiar with each other.

Lilith thinks that Lieutenant General Clyde is bothering her and Dominica - as for the little prince, he is barely a regular member of the regular team that usually eats with Dominica, so it can be ignored for the time being.

(Ax: _(:3∠)_ is negligible...... οΌ‰

Just when Axes felt a little hopeless, the topic suddenly became very cute.

The reason for this is that Lilith mentions the content of the elective class - the question about piloting a mech.

"Why are military mechs now mainly based on male data as a reference value?" The little girl has a lot of self-esteem and a clear feminist idea: "It's so unfair!" ”

Lieutenant General Clyde said euphemistically: "Because the proportion of men among the mecha fighters serving in the army is still relatively large, and the reference value is only for the basic parameters of the mecha, and the regular mecha will have a secondary design for the driver." ”

In fact, it is not "relatively large", but "overwhelming".

But Clyde's own sister will become a mecha warrior in the future, and he himself admires guides and other female soldiers who are stationed on the front line like Mrs. Lin, so he didn't say it absolutely.

"If all the girls were as good as Dominica, then there wouldn't be only stinky men in the army!" Lilith makes no secret of her adoration of Dominica.

She glanced at Lieutenant General Clyde, and then said categorically: "Dominica is no worse than any soldier if she is in the army!" 166 Reading Network
