Chapter 40: Please Call Her "White and Black"
The war horses selected to be sent to the Gaston Military Academy were all tall and athletic. As far as Weiss visually observed, they were more than 1.8 meters tall at the shoulders, covered from head to leg with thick and lush hair, and had strong limbs. If you compare it to the types of horses on earth, it can be said that it is as tall as the Shire horse and as athletic as the Arabian horse. Those already burly students, riding such a behemoth, even if they just stand quietly in front of them, can also make people feel a powerful deterrent, if they run at high speed, their impact can be imagined!
From the time the lead instructor gave the order, most of the trainees had chosen their new mounts within half an hour. Although there are no rules or regulations governing them to form a fixed pairing, it is generally not changed according to the practice of military schools. Therefore, some people pay attention to the edge of their eyes, some people have a confident vision, and some people are at peace with what they encounter, these categories are very refreshing, and some people are hesitant and forward-looking, and they are still entangled and hesitant at this time.
Weiss, who has always been decisive, still moves quickly after climbing over the fence of the stable. According to the tips for selecting war horses taught by the fat vice president's special training crash course, he quickly selected a horse from the war horses that had not been picked away, and began the cultivation of the relationship between the man and the horse with gentle caressing and contact.
"Hey, dragon, why did you pick this one?"
The baby-faced little brother came to his side with a beautiful red steed, and stared at the horse that Weiss had chosen with a strange look.
"Questions?" Weiss asked, puzzled.
"Of course there is a problem!" The little brother said, "Haven't you heard of the horse master? ”
Those who have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should have an impression of the "Lu" who "rides and hinders the master", and Weiss is no exception. Hearing what the local tyrant master said, he couldn't help but look at the war horse beside him curiously. The neck is not long or short, the back is not wide or narrow, the limbs are not thick or thin, according to the evaluation criteria said by the fat vice president, this should be a strong but not stupid, fast and long-lasting good horse, and then look at its bright eyes, mouth and nose are straight, it should be empathetic, why is it a hindrance?
Seeing Weiss's dazed face, the baby-faced little brother said without scruples: "Look at this horse, if the whole body is white and there is no variegation, it is the top grade of the war horse, but it is white with black, especially the four hooves have black hair, since the history is available, none of the generals who ride this kind of horse are lucky." Before you have time, go pick another one! Otherwise, I'll come forward to help you get a good one? ”
For others, most of them will re-choose a horse with the mentality of "I'd rather believe it or not", and Weiss did hesitate a little, but this hesitation was fleeting. He looked at the war horse beside him, and the "white and black" also lowered his head in time and gently touched his face with his mouth.
"Thanks for the reminder! It's just that a small person like me may never have the opportunity to be a general in this life, so why worry about the troubles that generals will encounter early? Weissdau.
"This is not just a problem that only generals will encounter......" The baby-faced little brother wanted to continue, but when he saw Weiss caressing the cheek of the war horse with a calm expression, he sighed: "I used to think that I was a very different guy, until I met you!" ”
"Huh?" Weiss turned his head, "You're saying my personality is more offbeat than yours?" But I don't think my personality is even a tenth of yours! ”
"Hey, you just didn't choose my way of being so presumptuous!" The baby-faced little brother said as he turned his head to look at his jujube red horse. In this ring, it is small and thin, just like the difference between a red Audi A3 and A4 and A6, and it is suitable for female drivers who are also slender and slender. Its coat color is very pure, and it has a soft and pure sheen in the sun, so ...... It's a good match for this melancholy guy!
So, Weiss said, "You have chosen a good horse." ”
"It seems that you still know the goods!" The little brother grinned, revealing a very smug look.
Weiss shook his head and said, "I just think it should be flexible and docile, huh...... It's also smart. ”
The baby-faced little brother raised his right hand and snapped his fingers: "You're right, 'Huo Girl' does belong to the kind of war horse with high IQ and high EQ, it won't be long before you can see how different she is!" ”
This time, Weiss was actually choked by his own saliva: "Ahem...... You call her ...... 'Fire Girl'? ”
"yes!" The little brother touched the cheek of the jujube red horse with an unusually soft expression, "I think this is a fitting name!" What about you? Have you come up with a name for her? ”
Weiss thought about it and decided to solve the problem in a lazy way.
"Or call her white and black!"
"White and black? What do you mean? "The little brother is curious.
"Well, her fur is white and black, so it's called white and black." Weiss explained.
"Cut!" The baby-faced guy gave him a very disdainful look.
Weiss had a sudden inspiration and said aloud: "Day or night, light or dark, we will forge ahead and never flinch!" ”
The little brother was immediately impressed: "Ha, I'll just say it!" How could you cunning creature give your mount a ridiculous idiot name? ”
"Idiot name?" Weiss turned his head to look at his new partner, and suddenly felt that his decision had been a little hasty. If you think about it carefully, maybe you can give her a more stylish and desirable name?
Fortunately, his new partner didn't know what "white and black" meant, and she didn't care if her nickname was good or bad, she held her head high and snorted happily, as if to celebrate that she had finally been claimed.
After selecting their horses, the cadets need to go to the stables on their own, receive the reins and saddles, and equip their horses, and then ride to the mouth of the back mountain stream designated by the team leader instructor, thus ending the exhausting second-year pre-examination - those who pass will officially become second-year students at the Bathton Military Academy, and those who fail will need to face the subjects that make them fail again in the next time, and if they still fail to pass, they will be waiting for a miserable withdrawal notice......
Following the local tyrant who was determined to remove the "fake pigskin" and reveal the "real tiger face", Weiss successfully put the "white and black" with a saddle, and then tried to cooperate with the new partner for the first time. In the process, the differences in the personalities of the two horses began to show. The local tyrant's "Fire Girl" has a hot name, but her personality is docile like a very well-educated little jasper, and she quickly adapted to the new master's instructions. Weiss is miserable, although his "white and black" is also a mare, but he has the same stubborn temper as him, Weiss climbed on the horse's back once, she unceremoniously threw him down once, and after a few rounds, Weiss was already miserable.
The baby-faced little brother rode steadily on the horse, looked at Weiss condescendingly, and smiled evilly: "Hey, dragon, I think you really picked a good horse!" ”
Weiss crossed his hands on his waist, raised his head, and replied unconvinced: "Horse, definitely a good horse, but it takes a little more time to get used to my not very good rider." ”
The little brother rode his horse and whipped up, ran around happily, and then returned to the same place, looked at Weiss, who was once again thrown off by his mount, and said leisurely: "This is the first time I have seen someone suddenly regress greatly in riding without injury, illness or retirement. Hey, Dragon, you've improved in almost all your subjects, why can't you ride a horse? ”
"What do you mean it's not going to work?" Weiss glared, "I think you should be at full speed to the finish line now, and you should still have time to get an honor!" ”
The guy actually said seriously: "I don't want to be discredited as a discarding brother!" Besides, what could be more interesting than watching you get abused by a horse here? ”
At this moment, Weiss couldn't wait to grab a handful of mud and smash it on his seemingly harmless baby face, so that he could taste the taste of abuse.
"That's it!" The creature waved the whip in his hand, "I know, this is a way for you to communicate and increase understanding, I still don't mix blindly here!" Since you don't mind, then I'll go first! ”
"Let's go, so much nonsense!" Weiss muttered indignantly. When the goods were far away, he took a deep breath, pulled the saddle and turned over, the movement was quite sloppy, and the "white and black" was also very cooperative and did not move, but as soon as he sat on the saddle with his buttocks, this guy seemed to deliberately test his riding skills, spreading his hooves and tossing hard, and the bull riding competition I saw on TV before was nothing more than that......
As the minutes ticked by, the number of people and horses in the pods became less and less, and finally only Weiss and his new partner remained. The unfortunate man didn't know how many times he had fallen off his horse, and his bones were about to fall apart, but his mount was still full of energy, ready to do another "knight dance".
"Cadet Long Clumber Haysen, what are you doing?"
Leng Buding heard a woman's voice, and Weiss thought he was having auditory hallucinations. When he looked up, he saw the rich daughter of the director of the Grumman Group, the goddess of the Barston Military Academy, and the frosty Octavier, riding on a maroon horse, looking at him condescendingly like a local tyrant.
"I'm ......," Weiss spread his hands, not knowing what to say.
"Why did you pick this horse?" The goddess asked again.
"I'm ......," Weiss turned to look at the horse that had embarrassed him, still not knowing how to answer.
Surprisingly, instead of mocking him mercilessly, as she did on the top floor of the Grumman Mansion, the goddess said in a normal tone, "It seems that you don't know where this horse came from. She was sent to the military academy two years ago, and for two years in a row she was not selected by the cadets, and if this is still the case this year, according to the custom, she will be sent to the military horse station. With the curse she carried, it was likely to be used as a horse in the future. ”
Weiss didn't answer, but yelled at his "white and black": "Hey, did you hear that? If I hadn't chosen you, you'd have been carrying goods all day instead of running around outside! Are you still doing this to me? ”
"White and Black" probably didn't expect this funny guy to be mad, and when he yelled at him like this, he actually took a few steps back in a row, and then stood there timidly, neither retreating nor entering.
Weiss was furious: "One last time, if you give up on me, then I will give up on you too." I still have a chance to retake the exam, how about you? Are you going to be a horse and carry goods for the rest of your life? ”
"White and Black" took a step back, then took another step forward, bowing his head, as if to express his submission to Weiss in gesture language.
Could it be ...... Not only are horses on this planet bigger, but they also have a slightly higher IQ than their counterparts on Earth?
"Don't fool me!" Weiss muttered quietly before getting on the horse again.
"White and Black" kept his head down motionlessly.
Weiss took a deep breath, grabbed the saddle with both hands, stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and endured the pain from all over his body, jumped up, and sat firmly on the horse's back.
"White and Black" jerked her head up, and just when Weiss thought she was about to throw herself off again, she let out a long hiss and lowered her head again.
Finally it worked!
Without waiting for Wei Si to breathe a sigh of relief, the goddess stationed on the side of the horse spoke: "Trainee Long Clumber Haisen, if you don't hurry up and rush to the mouth of Houshan Creek, I'm afraid you will become the only one among the students of the Nearly Three Realms who can't pass the horse riding assessment at one time." In that case, your name may be passed down in the Captain of Baseton......"
Riding steadily on horseback, Weiss was able to look at the goddess Baston, and he said in a straight voice: "Many years later, when the cadets of the Baston Military Academy mention my name, it must be full of reverence, because I will be the pride of the Baston Military Academy!" ”
After that, Weiss followed the riding essentials he learned in the crash course of the fat vice president's special training, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, leaned forward, waved his whip, and galloped in the direction of the setting sun under the private of the goddess Bathon. If it weren't for the fact that this cargo fell halfway down the horse and fell a lot, how perfect would the end of the second-grade general examination been......
