Chapter Seventy-Two
Imperial College does not restrict students from living on campus, and due to the limited number of places in the college's dormitory, it is not uncommon for students like Mugan to leave their homes early in the morning. Due to the small number of students in the cooking department, most of the students were able to live in the dormitory provided by the college, and only Mugan and another freshman, Doug, lived outside.
When Mugan arrived at the meeting point, he happened to run into Doug, who was coming with him on his front and back feet.
"Good morning, Doug⊙ ⊙" memorized the names of all the freshmen in the department on the first day, and Mugan naturally remembered Doug's name as well.
"......" lifted his glasses, and Doug did not say anything.
"I'm Mughan." The other party's coldness did not affect Mugen in the slightest, and Mugen took the initiative to introduce his name again.
"Good morning, Mr. Mugan." This time, Doug finally greeted him.
Doug looked around: the runway in the campus plaza was already neatly filled with spaceships - black military-standard spaceships, which should be the flying vehicles they were about to fly in a moment. Next to each spacecraft stood a soldier in a black military uniform, with a grim face that contrasted sharply with the scattered students around him.
The chairmen of each department are loudly instructing the freshmen to form up the formation, but these newly appointed chairmen do not seem to be very competent for this job, the students with large bags and small bags of luggage are standing at the assembly place blankly, there are a lot of students who don't know where to go, and there are many more students who haven't come - as teenagers who have just left home, their self-control is honestly quite lacking, today's assembly time is much earlier than the usual class time, and many people haven't gotten up yet.
Frowning at the freshmen who were looking for them in the crowd with their luggage, Doug frowned without a trace, and with his small travel bag, he stood next to Mughan.
"Thank you for the message." Doug was referring to the text message he had received on his brain last night from Mugan, which was a list of things he had to prepare for military training, as well as the time and place to meet for the next day.
The list is very concise and detailed, and even plans the amount of things you need to bring and where to put them. Douge, who is not interested in military training and usually does not deliberately study, simply prepares and fills all the items according to Mugan's list, there are many things on the list that he didn't expect at all, everything is packed in, and the small space in the military training backpack issued by the academy is just right.
Placing the backpack on the ground, Doug noticed that there was an equally full backpack at Muggan's feet.
"You're welcome." Smiling at him, Mugan put a number sticker on Doug's backpack: "Your luggage is number two. ”
Turning his head sideways, Doug nodded, and took the simple sticker of 2 written on the white paper.
"Won't you go in and tell them out?" They waited together for a while, and the last person to speak was Doug.
The time for the assembly was approaching, and seeing that most of the students had not yet arrived, Doug noticed that the newly appointed committee chairmen had left the assembly place to go to the dormitory to arrest people in person, while Mugan was still immersed in studying the military training manual in his hand, and seemed to be in no hurry at all.
"Oh, I messaged Dobby in the morning, and Dobby said he would definitely come with all the students." Hearing Doug talking to himself, Mughan looked up.
"What if that ...... Did Dobby's classmates oversleep too? Seeing his almost naïve confidence, Doug raised an eyebrow.
"No, Dobby has to get up with his younger siblings every morning with the cow and get up very punctually." Giving Doug a smile of concern, Mugan continued to study the military training instructions.
Doug: "......"
Two minutes before the meeting time approached, someone greeted Mugan from a distance!
"Good morning Muggan!" There was still a long way to go, and Dobby's loud voice was already coming over him...... That's right! It's on the body! There are several students on my back, and when I look closely, who is not a student from the Department of Cooking?
In front of all the freshmen, Dobby walked over with several students on his back, and if you look closely, the students on his back are still asleep, and some of them are even holding pillows in their arms, and the discerning person can tell at a glance that these students are being picked up directly from the bed. Behind Dobby was followed by a neat group of machine qì people, each of whom carried a backpack in his hand, which seemed to be their master's military training items.
"Report to the chairman! Assembled! With a wink, Dobby reported to Mugan decently~\(≧▽≦)/~.
"Dobby, you've worked hard." Showing a mouthful of small white teeth, Mugan thanked Dobby from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not hard, they're much lighter than my cattle! When my cows don't want to go outside to graze on a snowy day, I carry them directly over like this! No matter how many times, Dobby, who would always blush when he was thanked, hurriedly added.
Doug, who was on the side, then helped his glasses again.
The students of the music department and the art department came almost to the front and back of the school, and compared to the lethargic cooking department, where many people were still wearing pajamas, the music and art students were much more formal! One by one, they were neatly dressed and followed behind the chairman of their department, full of energy, looking like they could go out at any time, and they looked more decent than the students of the mecha department and the battleship command department!
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, Doug always felt that these students' faces were a little blue.
Maintaining a position a little distance from the chairman in front of them, but not too far away, they looked trembling.
"Good morning Muggan! We're all on our side. The man who spoke was Godot, a curly-haired boy with a little freckles on his face who looked like a good old man, but he was the chairman of the art department.
"We're all here, really, I stood here for a long time and didn't come any of them, so I ran to the bedroom and yelled before I came out." Kerry, the chairman of the first-year music department of Imperial College, complained slightly, and then Doug noticed that the students behind him were even more pale, and many of them even began to tremble.
"Good morning! Everyone was on time! Mugan didn't see anything, and took out a simple homemade label from his pocket, and he pasted one on each backpack, and then sent the corresponding number to the owner of the backpack.
Well, no matter what method was used, no matter what happened, in short, the moment the assembly bell rang, the students' activities were terminated, and the assembly place became quiet in an instant.
"The assembly time is over, and the freshmen who have not yet arrived at the assembly place do not need to participate in this year's military training." The voice of the supervisor of this military training was evenly transmitted to every corner of the assembly place through the loudspeaker. The voice sounded very kind, but the content of the words made people's hearts stir.
The freshmen who were still rushing to the meeting place on the way also heard his words, and when they heard this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they sped up their speed, and even ran wildly at the end, but even so, they were still stopped outside the meeting place, and no matter how they argued, the gate was never opened again.
"Students who arrive late will have zero grades in military training subjects, and you will need to work harder than others in the next few years to complete the credits required for graduation." The supervisor's words were even more ruthless, on the spot, the students who were stopped outside the assembly place were even more dumbfounded, and the students who arrived on time were calm, and the freshmen who were forcibly carried by the little thunder dragon Dobby did not complain, and even a girl kissed Dobby happily immediately.
"Next, please ask the chairman to organize the students of the department to start loading luggage, and the students who have finished the shipment first will go to the military training site first. Due to the small number of students in the Department of Fine Arts, the Department of Music, and the Department of Cuisine, military training will be conducted together this time, and the chairmen of the three departments will also be asked to discuss and solve any problems in the military training. The supervisor also specifically mentioned several departments with a particularly small number of people, such as the Department of Fine Arts, and there were students next to Mugan on the spot:
"I know that our school has a music department, but is there an art department? Cuisine? What's that? ”
"It's just teaching people how to cook, but is there really anyone in the cooking department?"
"Yes! We are from the culinary department. Hearing their question, Mugan said loudly on the spot, looking directly at the two men who had just spoken, and the two men lowered their heads and shrank into the center of the line.
"Alright, let's go put our luggage." Mugan smiled again, picked up his luggage on the ground, and led the way in the direction of the ship.
"Oh......" The other students behind Mugan just woke up from a dream and hurriedly followed behind Mugan.
Completely different from the situation of the students of other departments, the luggage of the cooking students is very simple, only one military backpack issued by the academy, and Alpha has another large bag, which contains all kinds of small gifts that Mugan received along the way, such as the delicious snacks that Tony's boss said he would use to bribe the instructor.
Since he had known for a long time that he would be training with the art department and the music department, Mugen also sent the list to Kerry and Godot, and they should have immediately passed the list to the students in their own department, just look at the same streamlined backpacks of the students of these two departments.
Sorted by number, the backpacks of the students of the Cuisine, Music, and Art Departments entered the ship's transport compartment one by one along the conveyor tracks, and in just ten minutes, they completed the loading and transportation of luggage.
"Let's get on board next!" Clapping his hands, Mugan announced the good news.
"Oh yes~" What does it mean to be the first to board the ship? This means that they can be the first to set off, the first to arrive at the military training location, and then the first to choose a place to stay!
All the beds are optional, and you can take a good rest without arranging military training on the first day, which sounds very cheap, okay?
So, under the watchful eye of the students of the mecha department and the battleship command department, the freshmen of the cooking department, the music department and the art department happily went to board the ship first~\(≧▽≦)/~
"Next, how many pieces of luggage?" Looking at the freshmen of the cooking department who were running away with a blank expression, the soldier in the black military uniform turned his head and said indifferently to the next student who was running his luggage.
"Three, three pieces of ......" was shocked by his coldness, and the freshmen from the mecha department handed over their luggage one by one with some nervousness.
In addition to the standard backpack issued by the academy, he also prepared two larger backpacks himself. Now all these backpacks need to be shipped, and there are many students like him, so the speed of shipment is greatly reduced.
Taking over a heavy backpack, the officer in black didn't say anything, but silently threw the luggage rudely onto the conveyor track: "Next." ”
Following the Department of Cuisine, the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Music, the chairman of the Battleship Command Department, Brad, also led the freshmen of the department to complete the step of baggage check-in, as a well-known department of the Imperial Comprehensive Academy, the number of students in the Battleship Command Department is not very large, and the number of students from the more than 300 freshmen Battleship Command Department and the three departments that have landed before are combined, just enough to take a spaceship. When Brad took the freshmen on the ship, he was depressed to find that the first-class cabin had indeed been occupied by the three departments that had entered before.
It's not fair! It's obviously a spaceship to transport students, so what are you doing with a first-class cabin? Isn't this a clear display of unbalance?
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
Quietly looking around, learning from his previous experience, he arranged the students to sit in suitable areas, and then he found a place to rest.
It has to be said that there is probably a considerable causal relationship between personality and occupation. Like Brad, the freshmen in the battleship command line are quiet and orderly, which is one of the reasons why they are able to complete the baggage check-in step first.
However, there is probably a considerable causal relationship between personality and occupation: the students of the three departments stationed in the first class cabin are really excessive, divided, lively, and splashed!
After closing his eyes and recuperating for a long time, the more upset he became, Brad glanced hatefully in the direction of the first class:
Those guys have been chatting since he came in, and now they are not only chatting, but they are actually starting to eat, east, west, and !
"This is a dim sum made by Boss Tony, it is very delicious, he said that many people line up to buy it every day! When he heard that I was coming for military training, he specially took a lot of money and asked me to eat with everyone. Mugan took the big bag full of food from Alpha and began to share the food with the children
"And the pudding of the owner of Cook's house, it was very tasty and he also gave me a lot of ......"
"In addition to making good clothes, Aunt Meilan is actually very good at making jerky."
Like a treasure chest, Mugan took the same food out of the humble bag, and after all the food was placed on the big table in the middle, the students' eyes widened!
"Oh yes! How to look! It looks delicious! ”
"Then try them all, there is still a considerable distance from the destination, please enjoy the food together in the next time." Responding coldly and politely to the students' words, Alpha was satisfied with the students' reaction: if he continued like this, these students would definitely like Mugan and would not bully him.
Thinking of this, a green glow flashed from the ghostly screen, and Alpha wasted no time in bringing out a box from the side: "This is a bun made by our family, please taste it." ”
"Hooray!! Then you're welcome! ”
I had long been aroused by the smell of these foods, and Alpha's invitation was like a signal, and the teenagers scrambled to reach out to the food on the table—
There was a sweet smell from the tip of his nose, and Brad, who had already eaten breakfast on time, felt that he was suddenly hungry, and he had food in his pocket, but for some reason, he did not intend to use this precious food.
"Stupid...... Food is the most precious thing in military training, and if you eat it up so early, you will receive it during military training. He looked mockingly at the first-class cabin and closed his eyes again for a while.
With the same thoughts as him, so, when they were eating and drinking in the cooking department, the art department, and the music department, the battleship command department next door to them was like an ascetic, sitting quietly without eating or drinking, and it was so hungry that they reached their destination.
And then—
"Only the uniform backpacks issued by the academy are allowed to enter the barracks, and no other luggage is allowed! No food is allowed in your luggage! Human food on the machine qì people is not allowed! ”
Just as the freshmen of the battleship command department were lining up with large bags and small bags to enter the military training site, the guards at the door said that "three prohibitions" were clear, and the freshmen were stupid all of a sudden.
It's a pity that the army is not allowed to "resist" the place where zài, the freshmen watched as the luggage other than the unified backpack was cruelly detained, the only luggage that was left with food was also detained, and finally at the security check, those cruel soldiers did not even let go of their clothes, but all the food in the clothes was taken out!
endured all the way, just to keep more food for military training, and now they really didn't expect this result!
At this time, the appearance of new students from the cuisine, art, and music departments passing by them happily after eating and drinking is particularly dazzling.
"Instructor, ask questions!" Raising a hand in the direction of Mugan, Brian asked the instructor according to the rules here: "May I ask the instructor, those people also brought food on the ship, why didn't they have their luggage impounded?" ”
Glancing at him indifferently, the black-clothed officer who had been in charge of supervising these newborns since the spaceship answered his question lightly: "First, all the food they brought on the road has been eaten, and the food in their stomachs will not be checked; Second, all of them brought only one piece of luggage, which fully met the requirements of the military training instructions, and there were no items that needed to be seized. ”
"Read it carefully, you should also read the small print, you are the >brains of the army, if you can't remember to read >, then what can you expect from your limbs?" In the end, the officer left only this one sentence for Brad.
Brad froze.
At the same time, Mugan and his party had already entered the barracks.
"All the dormitories are in the same condition, if you have to say which dorm building is the best, I will build yì you choose B-3. The water pipes there are shared with the instructor's dormitory, and there is always hot water, although it is the farthest from the meeting place, but the chance of being called to work in the middle of the night is the smallest, after all, the instructor also has to consider the night development of you teenagers. ”
Bringing Mugan and his party to the dormitory building, the black-clad officer who had just answered Brad's question unexpectedly spoke.
"Thank you! Instructor Kod! Muggan thanked him loudly.
"I just want to thank you, my mom loves Tony's boss's dim sum, and I'm always sorry that I can't give her her favorite food as a gift." A stiff smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Instructor Kod took off his military hat and saluted, and then strode away.
Seeing Instructor Kod leave, it was not until his tall figure was no longer visible that Mughan turned around.
As soon as the instructor left, all the freshmen dispersed, and everyone went to "grab the territory", not to be left behind, Sigma also went with their luggage, thinking it was very funny, and said to the uncle, and Mugen also joined them with a smile.
Only Alpha stood still.
Holding the box in his hand in a daze, he couldn't figure it out.
Why...... All the food on the ship has been eaten, and only their buns are left intact?
Why...... All food was forbidden to enter the barracks, but only their buns were judged to be not food and were allowed to enter?
Alpha was deeply confused.
(So...... Has the uncle's buns been identified as inedible by the machine? 囧)
