It was an ordinary morning.

Bighorn was left in Olivia's dormitory, and everyone went outside to train.

More than a dozen students led by the three of Hollande stood on the left side, some of the students were scattered in the middle, and then, all the remaining students stood on the right side, among the many students, Olivia looked inconspicuous, but if you looked closely, all the students on the right side were distributed around him.

The pattern of the fourth class is already clear.

Today's training is an underwater search and rescue exercise. Before the official start of the course, the teaching assistant will explain the task to all students as usual.

"The underwater search and rescue exercise will last for three days, and the exercise will use all the knowledge that everyone has learned in the three months since entering the school. Everyone has enough oxygen in their suits for two and a half days to increase the sense of urgency, and if something goes wrong, you can use the code you have learned in the last month to send a distress signal, and any passing students will help you. After finishing the precepts he had memorized, Sumaig leaned slightly to the side. He didn't dare look up at his left, where Olivia's gaze was sharp and pinprick-like to make him fidget.

He decided to end the lecture quickly.

"Let's take a look at your watch, the remaining time of the mission will be indicated in a moment, and before that, you will be assigned a role in the mission."

"Two-thirds of the people present will be searchers and rescuers, and the remaining third will be trapped people. Students who play the role of trapped people should go to the designated place to hide and wait for the rescue of their companions. ”

That's all for the instructor's introductory lesson plan sent by the academy, but—

Sumeg raised his head, and when he saw the three students in front of him who were divided into three, he gritted his teeth and added:

"This exercise is to test everyone's mastery of the knowledge you have learned before, and secondly, it is to cultivate the trust between your peers, please cherish this training opportunity, in the next seven years, the instructor may be adjusted according to everyone's curriculum, but the students will not change, we will live together for seven years, I hope that the trust between the students will gradually deepen, and eventually become comrades who can be entrusted to the back on the battlefield——"

This passage was addressed to Hollande and Olivia, and Sumaig always had one last trace of luck in his heart. With one last bit of anticipation, his gaze fell on the faces of the two:

Hollande didn't look at him at all, Olivia was looking at him, but—

As if he had looked at Sumege lightly, Olivia turned his head to listen to the person next to him.

His mouth opened and opened, and Sumege finally lowered his head and stepped off the podium.

The search and rescue mission began.

"I'm the one who suffers." Paul glanced at his watch, looked up and said to Hollande.

"That's nice, you can go and get some sleep." Hollande raised an eyebrow.

"Don't get me out too soon, I'm going to sleep." Waving at Hollande and Gaia, Paul dressed up and went over to play the role of the "trapped" student. There, he met Olivia somewhat unexpectedly.

"Yo~ Isn't this Princess Olivia who recently became the leader of a group of herbivorous dragons! You and your knights are trapped! Paul greeted with a smile.

Abil's death seems to have been an accident, he didn't associate the incident with Olivia, the little pet was made like that by them, and he didn't see Olivia jump out and fight them, and Paul didn't take Olivia seriously.

Even if Olivia has recruited so many followers, it is a harmless little thing in the eyes of Hollande and Paul: absolute strength is a qiē, no matter what Olivia does now, it doesn't matter, as long as Hollande defeats him in one fell swoop in the end, all his previous efforts will be wasted, and his current territory will be automatically sent to Hollande by the existing followers, that picture ...... It's really touching just thinking about it!

"I know what you did to Bighorn that day." Ignoring his statement, Olivia just said lightly to him.

"Huh?" Paul was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Olivia on the side: "Is it a horn thing?" Or is it a matter of the pool? You're too slow! It's been a few days since you remembered...... What, you want revenge? ”

By this time, Olivia had already put on his equipment under Todd's service, and the protective shield covered his face tightly, and Paul could no longer see his expression.

The bell rings at this time to announce that the "trapped people" are in position, and all the "trapped people" are immediately carried into deep water by a submarine. When the submarine sinks to a certain distance, all the "trapped people" are discharged, and the submarine leaves immediately, and the "trapped people" need to find a specified location to complete the hiding in the next 20 minutes, and then wait for the search and rescue of their companions.

The geographical environment of Hengtianxing, where the Emperor * Affairs Academy is located, is very treacherous, and the climate is also very harsh, and the founder of the Emperor * Affairs Academy is precisely because of the environment here to set up the academy here.

Paul and Olivia, where they are now, belong to the sea area north of the Emperor's Academy, this sea area is a good training place, and they have completed various pressure training in this sea since the beginning of the school year. So even when they heard that there would be a deep-sea search and rescue this time, not too many people were nervous: they would wear protective clothing for a morning jog at the bottom of the sea every day, and these students did not panic about the sea.

But when they really came to this sea area about 600 meters deep, most of them were still panicked.

It's so dark!

And it's too stressful!

But a mission is a mission, as long as you hide in the designated place, you will definitely be rescued in the end, right? Thinking of this, the freshmen began to explore the hiding place to which they had been assigned.

Paul is no exception, but unlike other people's timidity, his courage is generally good, he just wants to simply find a good place and rest, maliciously kicked a few new students next to him who had not adjusted the pressure of protective clothing, and after admiring their stunned struggles for a while, he took the lead in swimming forward.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that his ankle could not move.

Looking back in surprise, with the help of the light of the lamp he wore overhead, he saw at a glance that there were two people behind him holding his feet together!

What------------------------------------------------

In shock, he kicked twice and tried to kick the two men away, but when he realized that he was about to struggle, two more people joined in and grabbed his thighs as well!

The strength of those men was surprisingly great, and Paul found himself accused! After an angry struggle, his brain calmed down: the class was strong enough to control his students......

There are only thunder dragons, and the thunder dragons in the class are all from Olivia's side now-

"Olivia"!

The moment this name came to his mind, Paul suddenly felt a chill on his back, he was finally a little scared, his eyes under the shield widened instantly, he struggled with more strength than before, and saw that the person who grabbed his thigh was about to be kicked away by him, and at this time, several more people came out, not only grabbed his leg again, but even grabbed his hand this time.

This time, Paul was completely immobile.

Olivia appeared to him at this time, and his stature, which was a circle smaller than the others, made Paul immediately recognize him in the crowd without hesitation. Condescendingly, he looked down at Paul from above, and the light on Olivia's forehead hit Paul in the face through the shield. Olivia could easily see Paul's frightened eyes under the shield, but Paul, blinded by the lights, couldn't see anything clearly.

Until Olivia left a little.

In front of all the freshmen who played the "trapped", Olivia made a gesture, and then, Todd and the others, who were in charge of imprisoning Paul, pushed the immobile Paul to swim forward, and a freshman followed behind them, and the light on his forehead clearly illuminated the every move of his companion in front of him.

They pushed Paul, who couldn't resist, into a sunken ship's rescue pod, and then sealed the hatch securely. The new students in charge of lighting the light turned the light on the hatch, and the image of Paul, who was locked up, banging on the hatch was faithfully displayed in front of all the new students.

It was at this time that Olivia "spoke".

The academy did not have a communication channel for them, so Olivia "spoke" using the signal cipher of the academy professor.

Using the illuminator in her hand, Olivia typed out what she wanted to say one by one:

We, we, in, bully, bear, he.

You, you, all, see, to, I, we, will, he, close, in, where, in, in.

Think, want, save, he, just, go, save.

We, we, no, will, block, block.

These words are "spoken" to the freshmen who belong to the Hollande camp and the neutral camp among the "trapped people" in the same batch. After saying this, the freshmen who had just escorted Paul swam back, and surrounded by them, Olivia and the group swam off into the distance.

As a result, only the freshmen who originally belonged to the Hollande camp and the newcomers who were neutral were left.

Olivia's signal just now was in their eyes, and it was also in the eyes of Paul, who was locked up, and he slammed the hatch in anger, and Paul surprised his accomplices and let him out.

He's going out! He's going out and tearing Olivia to shreds who dares to tease him! He won't let go of this group of good-watching guys outside! He'll settle accounts with them one by one!

With a fierce glint in his eyes behind the shield, Paul looked viciously at the students who stood still for a long time.

Come here! You're coming! He roared silently.

However,

The unexpected happened:

One of the students wandered away.

After the first student wandered away, the second person also left, and then the third and fourth ......

Eventually, all the freshmen left. Not only did the freshmen from the neutral camp leave, but even the freshmen who originally belonged to their side outside walked away without hesitation!

Paul's eyes widened.

The outside world was dark again, and only a small part of the world illuminated by the lamp on Paul's forehead was bright.

Myself...... Abandoned?!

Abandoned in a place other than a pre-arranged search and rescue site?

That's-

Thinking of what he might face in the future, Paul struggled violently and slammed into the hatch. But no matter how much he struggled, the hatch just didn't move! On the contrary, because his struggles were so violent, the oxygen content in his protective suit was rapidly decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!

Cold sweat appeared on Paul's back, and he didn't dare to move!

It was then that he saw someone swimming towards him in the distance.

As if he had seen a life-saving straw and poked the light through, Paul was surprised to open the glass window of the hatch as he tried to distinguish who it was and recognized it as a freshman from his side.

He didn't remember the name of the person who came, but he knew that the prototype of the other party was a giant beast dragon, with great strength, and if it echoed his own inside and out, he would definitely be able to help him open the hatch - Paul's eyes showed an ecstatic light.

In Paul's anticipation, the man finally came closer. His face was leaning against the hatch, and Paul finally saw the other man's face.

An expressionless face.

Through the hatch, Paul saw the full expression of the other man's shield, and he saw the man's mouth open.

Paul subconsciously read the shape of the man's mouth:

"Go, die!"

A stunned expression froze on Paul's face, and then he felt the lifeboat in which he was in shake violently, and with a slight lightness, his world began to turn.

The rescue pod he was in was pushed down by the freshman.

From a position where it was possible to be saved, he was pushed into the deeper and darker depths of the sea.
