9. Chapter IX

[Chapter 9: You're Coming] The first threshold

The sun shone through the window - came in, Ye Zhao had a rare lazy sleep today.

He glanced at the clock on the opposite wall, the hour hand pointing to exactly ten o'clock. He allowed himself to empty himself for a moment before getting up and getting dressed and washing.

Today is the day of registration for Gavin Military Academy.

I chatted too late with Ludwig last night, and the other party will return to the Far Star Front in a short time, and every minute and second of being together now makes the two cherish it very much-so this also directly leads to Ye Zhao's bed-lying behavior today.

He rubbed his eyes, which were still a little sore from staying up late, and realized that no one came to wake him up today for some unknown reason.

This would be okay if it were in normal times, but today is such an important day to go to the school to register...... It doesn't make sense.

With this doubt, he walked to the living room on the second floor.

Ye Mingxun, who was sitting on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him coming: "I thought you regretted it again." ”

"Repent of what?" Ye Zhao sat down across from him, a little puzzled.

Naturally, I'm afraid that you won't want to go to school if you regret it...... Ye Mingxun didn't say it. He ordered Casséa to hand a letter to Ye Zhao and said, "This is the letter I wrote by myself last night, and I will send it to Mr. Hibbert in the Academic Affairs Office after you arrive, and ask him to take care of you more in the future." "Even if you don't necessarily pass the entrance test, don't get hurt during that time.

Ye Zhao couldn't cry or laugh: "Father ......"

But if you think about it, Ye Mingxun is always like this. always wants to do his best to protect everyone and the Ye family, which is also his father's most unique gentleness. Although Ye Mingxun did overprotect himself, he was really a great father.

Ye Zhao took the letter from Kaseya's hand, and then solemnly put it away.

The things that need to be brought to school have been packed up by the servants and sent to the flying machine, and Ye Zhao should go to the academy to report after lunch at home.

He looked around, "Why didn't you see Edmund?" ”

"Edmund has already gone to the academy first, and by the time you go, the dormitory should be all in order?" Caseya hurriedly replied.

Ye Zhao didn't even look at the housekeeper, he looked at Ye Mingxun: "Father? Why Edmund? ”

"Edmund is the same age as you, so let him go so he can take care of you." Ye Mingxun was right.

In fact, he was selfish, after all, everyone knew the cruelty of the entrance trial of Gavin Military Academy, if Edmund was allowed to protect Ye Zhao at a critical moment...... This young man who grew up in the Ye family since he was a child is strong Ye Mingxun naturally knows how strong he is, although he is an ordinary person, he cannot be ignored at all.

Ye Zhao naturally knew what kind of calculation his father had, so he sighed helplessly, and acquiesced to this arrangement.

What's more, Edmund's inconsistency boy probably wished he had left here sooner......

Thinking like this, Ye Zhao suddenly began to sympathize with himself in the future.

***

More than 200 years since the establishment of the Gavin Military Academy, it has welcomed countless outstanding imperial morning stars. From the "God of War" Ludwig to the "Wall of the Empire" Ye Yang, these names destined to go down in history appear in the history of the academy. It is a veritable first-class institution, and even the Imperial College of Boero, which has always been extremely prestigious, cannot be compared to it in some way.

However, even under so many halos, this year's candidates did not seem to be so discolored.

Under the warm gaze, Ye Zhao seemed very calm. He looked directly at the school leaders who were talking eloquently on the stage, and he looked engrossed in his gaze without squinting.

On his left hand sat Edmund, who was arranged by Ye Mingxun, and on his right hand was actually Sefir!

The famous "Strongest Ability without Ability" and the first guide recognized by Emperor Xing, there is a well-known waste wood in the middle, this scene is very strange no matter how you look at it.

More and more people turned their eyes to this side, but Ye Zhao still didn't react at all.

Sefir had a cold face, and those hot or sharp gazes made him feel very uncomfortable. And even if he was as dull as he could feel, those people's attitude towards Ye Zhao was very strange, as if there was some contempt in the inquiry.

He couldn't help but push Ye Zhao's arm.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhao turned his head.

"I don't like the people around me." Seffir said it bluntly.

He was like this, since he felt the malice of those people towards Ye Zhao, he naturally completely lost his favor towards them.

Because he is Ye Zhao's friend.

"You can have me," and then pointed at Edmund, "and this iceberg face is also one." They don't like us, and we don't have to like them. ”

Ye Zhao was a little surprised. In fact, if you don't count yourself, the freshmen around you should still have a good impression of Edmund and Sefir. Especially the sentinels, in their eyes, Sixir should be a blooming rose, attracting them all the time.

However, Safir says "we", "they".

The faction division is clear.

Edmund, who had been silent on the side, glanced at Ye Zhao lightly at this time: "Tsk." ”

Ye Zhao: "...... Don't speak. ”

He looked at the stern Sefer, and the desire to pinch the other party's face in his heart became stronger and stronger...... And so he did. The moment his fingers pinched the white skin, Ye Zhao felt that his long-standing wish had been fulfilled.

Retracting his hand under Saifer's bewildered gaze, Ye Zhao silently sighed in his heart: Paralysis is so cute.

He looked into Saifir's eyes sincerely: "It's a friendly interaction between friends. ”

Sefir immediately realized: I see! So the courtesy was exchanged, and he also reached out to pinch Ye Zhao, and gave his "only friend" a shy smile.

The people around who were watching this side were instantly blinded, and the amount of information was a little large for a while.

【First Guide and First Waste Wood Guide】

【??? 】

Edmund: "...... Tut. ”

Although the threshold of the Gayun Military Academy made it difficult for a large number of people to retreat, the number of new students who finally signed up today was still a terrifying number. The school's auditorium was obviously overwhelmed, so everyone was placed on an empty training ground.

Under the scorching sun overhead, listening to the school leaders talking at length on the stage, soon some people could not hold on.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd not far away, apparently another freshman had fainted under the scorching heat. The school medical office quickly sent someone to carry the guide who looked thin and tender on a stretcher, and when they passed by Ye Zhao and them, Ye Zhao even clearly heard the other party snort in pain.

Sefir's brow furrowed, and he was about to go elsewhere.

"What are you going to do?" Ye Zhao stopped him.

"A lot of people have fainted, and if the school doesn't change places, more and more people will not be able to persevere."

"Are you going to inform the school of the situation in the audience?"

Shalfir nodded as a matter of course.

Ye Zhao rubbed his forehead, and the long scorching sun exposure also made him a little dizzy: "Saifeier, why do you think the school wants us to listen to this report at noon?" ”

Seffir was stunned.

"The trial has begun, ...... Sixfield"

Ye Zhao took out a piece of sugar from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, slightly relieving some of his hypoglycemia. Although his original foundation is also very weak, Sheng has been insisting on a certain intensity of training recently, coupled with the recovery of mental power, his current physique is far better than before. His gaze fell on a guide in front of the three of them on the right, whose figure was already shaky at the moment, and at a glance he knew that he couldn't hold on for long.

"'Survival of the fittest', this is the motto that Gavin Military School has adhered to for two hundred years. From the moment we stepped into the door of the school, the college's trial of us had begun, and this report was only the first threshold, and if you persisted, you would have crossed this threshold to the second door; And if you can't even get past the first level......" he raised his hand to the rickety guide, who finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell, "you'll be expelled from this experiment just like they did." ”

There was another commotion around, and stretchers came and went. As if frightened, Seffir was speechless for a long time.

Ye Zhao thought that such a fact must be too cruel for Saifeier, after all, the other party was like a pure and immaculate little white flower, and this kind of worldview of the elimination system was still too depressing. Ye Zhao had experienced too much darkness, so he had already acquiesced to this setting in his heart, but Saifer was different. As soon as he wanted to appease the other party, he heard the other party say in a deep voice: "I also think it's better for the weak chicken to quit early." ”

Ye Zhao: The "......" script doesn't seem to be like this.

The prepared comforting words were swallowed raw, and Ye Zhao clearly saw that the light in Edmund's eyes on the side instantly lit up.

This is really, a confidant in the sea.

Suddenly, Ye Zhao felt that he was the one who was most like a white flower.

The tirade on the stage was finally over, the school was in the middle of the scorching heat, and at this moment it was the most poisonous time of the day, and after this speech, some of the strong sentinels were also a little unbearable, and everyone was sick.

Edmund took out three tubes of nutrient solution from the marching backpack he was carrying, and the three of them drank it before they could regain some vitality.

White coats could be seen everywhere on the training ground, and four hours of speaking had cost two hundred new students less admission—and that was only a modest beginning.

"All freshmen are invited to go to the No. 1 Simulated Mecha Training Hall, and all freshmen are invited to go to the No. 1 Simulated Mecha Training Hall......"

There was almost no time to recuperate, and the cold mechanical female voice was transmitted to every corner of the training ground of the University. Ye Zhao and the two companions glanced at each other, and walked in the direction indicated in the notice without saying anything.

In a tall building not far away, the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window walked back to his seat.

"You're here—"
