Chapter 43: The Hunter (3)
Yeyin's hand holding the cigarette shook slightly, and she just asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?"
"I just met Geng Yan, and it's obvious that he's not in the right state. And you also have cigarettes, although you usually smoke, but I have been with you for a year, and I can see something somewhat. Yang Haohui said, "I smelled a strong smell of smoke from before I entered the door, which proves that you have smoked a lot before I came, and you only smoke so fiercely when you are irritable or nervous." In addition, there is the matter of the auction, you and the principal should be looking for some products for Geng Yan to suppress the fire spirit, it seems that this time it has also failed. ”
Yeyin was silent for a while, then shook her head with a smile: "You're just not good at this, it's not cute at all." ”
"I will complete the 'reconciliation' in this half a year, you can rest assured. Yang Haohui didn't say anything more, enough of the clichés on this topic. At this time, a promise is stronger than anything else.
"Believe in you, teacher, don't be pressured, and never forget that we will have your back. Yeyin smiled and dusted off the ashes from her cigarette butts, "Change the subject, do you know what I asked you to do?"
"Shadow Wu has made a move?" Yang Haohui began by assuming the worst-case scenario.
"No, it's not. Nightshade shook her head.
"Geng Yan's situation is worse than expected, and it's about to explode?"
“...... Can you hope for something better?"
"It's not going to be a tuition increase, is it? When I entered the school, you said it was free, and there was a contract. Yang Haohui thought that he was about to be in the second grade, and it was time to pay the money for the new enrollment period.
"I said you...... Are you too nervous?" Yeyin stretched out a finger to Yang Haohui's forehead, "I wanted to criticize you a long time ago, why do you think things are always so pessimistic at a young age?"
"I'm sorry teacher, it's not that I'm pessimistic...... Yang Haohui scratched his head and said very sincerely, "Do you recall that we had a good time when we talked alone?"
This question really hit the nail on the head, and Yeyin thought about it for a moment, and then choked.
"It's annoying, don't look at me like a broom star. Yeyin coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, "Anyway, what the teacher wants to say this time is a great thing." Do you remember what the teacher said before the competition?"
"Hmm...... The opponent is very weak, you have to perform well to increase your exposure, and, there are ......" Yang Haohui thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Is the guard qualification certificate!"
"I'll take care of the delivery when the others come back, so I'll give you your one first. Nightshade handed over an iron-black card the size of an ID card.
The cards seem to be similar to the meta value cards, both of which are tungsten copper essence. But to be smoother, it feels like a cool, inky jade. On the left half of the card, the logo of the Guards' Union is engraved with a carving knife, and on the right side is a portrait of yourself and some basic information such as similar names and ages.
"I thought it was the type of piece of wood with stickers on top of it, but I didn't expect it to be carved. Yang Haohui played with the qualification certificate in his hand, "It's okay to say anything else, why is the photo still engraved? Isn't it easier to post one?"
"You don't understand this, the guard qualification certificate is made to facilitate identification. Nighttone paused, "For some special circumstances after the battle. ”
Although Yeyin said it was very incomprehensible, Yang Haohui understood it. As a high-risk profession that does not exist in the Tianyuan Realm, the duty of the guard is to go into battle to defend the family and the country. Casualties are inevitable in battle, and if you are unfortunately killed in the line of duty, it is difficult to ensure the integrity of the body. It's like a nameplate engraved with a name on every American GI in the movie, if the body is destroyed to the point where it is difficult to identify them, they all need to rely on this small plaque to recognize their ancestors. The same is true for the use of this method for the production of qualifications.
Yang Haohui smiled bitterly, feeling that the brand in his hand was a little heavy.
"As I said in the first lesson, the guards represent more than just the glamour of the heroic image. Don't lose it, you also saw the complexity of the production process, and it is very troublesome to redo it. Yeyin could see that Yang Haohui understood the meaning of the words, "Anyway, it's still happier, your efforts have paid off."
"Don't worry, I have no regrets about the path I chose. Yang Haohui put away the qualification certificate closely.
"It's good to have this awareness. Nightshade nodded, and handed over a bright yellow object, "Other than that, it's another little surprise." ”
If the qualifications are not unexpected, night
It's really surprising what Yin handed over now. Yang Haohui looked at the item lying in Yeyin's palm in a daze, it was actually a badge of a professional guard.
"Congratulations, Yang Haohui. Yeyin smiled and pinned the brooch to Yang Haohui's chest, "You...... No, it should be our ghost class, which has been recognized by the trade union, and all members have become professional guards. ”
Becoming a professional guard has always been the goal of the first phase of Yang Haohui's "homecoming" plan, and he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. He looked at the shiny badge on his chest and was stunned: "This means...... I'm a yellow-level guard now, and after I get the guard qualification certificate, don't I have to go to the trade union for the assessment? How can I ...... And isn't the initial level red? I just started and skipped a grade?"
"Don't be too happy, everyone else is green. Yeyin pursed her lips, "Although there are many purposes of the exchange competition, we have never forgotten the most essential point that pushes each of you into the professional circle. Don't be too surprised, your excellent performance has conquered the audience, the union has recognized your strength, and that's it. The review approval was drafted by the Dream Soul and the Sakkende Academy, and then stamped by Mr. Kawayama himself. The exchange competition is not only to protect you, your future is more important than anything else, and the Academy will do everything possible to create conditions for you to become famous. ”
"Teacher......" Yang Haohui really realized for the first time the good intentions of Yeyin and Qianji behind that simple exchange competition. He wanted to say something, but his throat felt clogged.
"Don't thank you, you have helped the teacher a lot. Yeyin touched Yang Haohui's head, "Then the youngest light elemental master in our history, Yang Haohui, has something you want to say?"
"I'm very happy to get a guaranteed gold of 3 gold coins every month in the future. Yang Haohui said.
"Little money fans. Yeyin was amused and flicked his forehead, "The benefits of a professional guard are not only the salary, but also the convenience in life and tasks, and you will slowly realize it." It should be noted that the attribute reported to you is still thunder, so don't show it in the battle in the future. ”
Yang Haohui looked at the lightning bolt inlaid in the center of the badge on his chest, and nodded understandingly.
"Finally, there's the issue of internships, and it's the more important thing I've called you to talk about. Nightshade twisted the nearly extinguished cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"Internship?" Yang Haohui was stunned.
"Although it is a little abrupt and aggressive, in view of your growth rate, in fact, you have already learned the professional courses of the Academy Palace, and it is time to accumulate actual combat experience. Yeyin said, "After the exchange competition, many professional guards sent invitations to the school palace, and launched a professional invitation to you who have just entered the second year!
"Your situation is special, so I helped you refuse. But the law enforcement team inside the school palace took a fancy to you and submitted an application letter to the old bald donkey. You must know that the law enforcement team of our Academy Palace is not to mention Megatron, and its combat power and prestige are far superior to some of the first-class guard offices. The selection of people has always been notoriously strict, and most graduates don't look down on it!" Yeyin became happier the more she spoke, and it was a bit of a fluttering eyebrow. For teachers, there is nothing more enjoyable than the competition of their own students.
But Yang Haohui's happiness after getting the badge gradually disappeared with her words, and his face turned a little pale.
"Teacher, the internship and the practical class should be completely different. Yang Haohui's voice trembled a little, "Since it is an invitation from the outside world, since it is from the outside world...... The internship location should be at the invited office, too. Does this mean...... The ghost class is about to ...... Disbanded?"
After a pause in the night, she looked at Yang Haohui's dull eyes and slowly fell silent. The atmosphere fell to a freezing point for a while, and the bedroom could hear pins dropping.
After a long time, Yeyin smiled: "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. ”
This was not the answer Yang Haohui wanted to hear, he lowered his head woodenly, and subconsciously clasped his empty beating heart that seemed to be missing somewhere.
But he can't say anything, isn't it too normal to go their separate ways for the sake of the future after graduation? The sooner you enter the professional circle, the best choice for everyone, and many students don't have a chance to break their heads. No one is going to be with another person all the time, and he should be happy that his friend has this opportunity...... He knew all this, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly.
I feel like I've been a little lonely for a long time.
It was also a long time, Yang Haohui took two deep breaths, with a somewhat muddy nasal voice.
"Great, teachers, they will all be happy. He laughs.
"Indeed, I wish I could see in the newspaper the day you shine in the circle of guards. Yeyin looked at the hazy sunlight by the window, and the corners of her lips rose slightly, "Then even if I die at the hands of my sister in the future, I can be regarded as blind." ”
"And me, I promised you that you would defeat Yefan. Yang Haohui poked his chest with his thumb and smiled, "Your ending must be to die peacefully with the principal's children and grandchildren, I promise." ”
"Yang Haohui......" Yeyin looked at Yang Haohui, who suddenly became cheerful, but her brows were slightly raised, "If you mind...... I can ...... those application letters."
"Don't, don't, it's a good thing! Besides, it's not that you won't see each other again, it's just a normal job search." Yang Haohui hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, but looking at Yeyin's eyes, his expression slowly calmed down, and finally just lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I just want you to tell me, how long is it until the ghost class internship?"
"Hurry up early, not late, in the second half of the semester, after next year's holidays. ”
"And after that?"
"It depends on my wishes, but I don't think I will go back to school. Nightshade said.
"In other words, is there still half a year?" Yang Haohui said softly, "The recruitment of the law enforcement team, don't agree to it yet, please let me think about it."
Nightshade nodded.
"Don't waste the last half a year. Yeyin was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, "Because of the internship, you have almost no classes in your second year, so relax." ”
"Relax?"
"The biggest campus event in the Dream Soul Academy Palace only happens once every three years, so you can catch up. Yeyin pulled out a poster from her chest, "Let's wait for school to start, just ask Xin Ting to understand." ”
Three days later, everyone returned to school as scheduled, and everyone tacitly brought Yang Haohui a special product from home as a late birthday gift.
Yeyin held a small class meeting, and everyone got their guard qualifications and badges representing their careers. Han Shihao bowed ninety degrees to thank Yeyin for his nurturing grace, Feng Haogeng had been suffering from falling behind Geng Yan and couldn't wait to show off the green-level badge on his chest to him, Mo Meng and Ye Ruohua held hands with each other and cheered, and even Lan Borou, who had always been restrained, almost jumped up happily.
Then Yeyin talked about the internship, and everyone was quiet again. She said that if you don't want to, you can postpone all internships. But after a long silence, no one agreed.
That's what everyone just says.
Sooner or later, it's good.
That night, all the members of the ghost class gathered in the Food Banquet Palace and ordered a copper hot pot that was the same as before. Han Shihao took out the familiar ore wine, and Ye Ruohua took out the honey fruit cake that she wanted to keep secretly for herself to eat.
After three rounds of drinking, Han Shihao asked everyone about their future plans.
There was a young man with a lip ring who had already thought about the location of the internship, which must be the office of the guard Kawayama, whom he admired the most.
A green-haired and lively girl said that she could go anywhere, but she hoped that she would have the opportunity to travel around Tianyuan in the future, see the vast world she had never seen, and pursue the freedom she had always longed for.
One of the blue-haired girls said something unexpected, and she was more looking forward to going to some logistical rescue team than the main combat office. Because her goal was never to hurt anyone, but to save lives.
There was a young man who didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he was not good at drinking, and he poured himself two glasses of mineral wine that day, but he was unexpectedly not drunk.
A beautiful girl who fell in love with the former did not speak, and a little reluctance and confusion flashed in her eyes.
Some people laugh as they talk, and some people cry as they talk.
Although it has only been a year, they have shared hardships and lived and died together.
Everybody has grown up.
It's not sad, it's not happy, it's a little complicated.
Joys and sorrows are all remembrance.
In the end, Han Shihao raised his wine glass and said as the squad leader: "Ghost class, assemble." ”
No one answered, just clinked glasses in unison.
