Chapter 25: Two Firsts
"That's right."
Hearing Lane say this, Claire's face also felt a little more nostalgic.
She and him, the old Class VII, first met two years ago, also in the first special internship.
At that time, Li En was not as tall as he is now, and his shoulders were not as broad as they are now, and he was a young chick in all aspects.
"So I'm happy and relieved." The corners of Riene's mouth curled up in a warm arc, "Similar internships, similar positions, the difference is-"
"βI wasn't the last to arrive this time." "Indeed, this time, the plan includes confirming the safety of the exercise site, and our railway gendarmerie will provide logistical support, and I will go to the scene with you as a liaison. But there's one more thing you don't say. β
"What is it?"
"Your position has changed from a student to an instructor, from a fledgling to a protector."
"Is the Major reminding me to learn from Instructor Sarah, not to overprotect, and to give them more opportunities to play freely?"
"I didn't say that. I have to say that it's not good to be overprotective, but it's not good to be too relaxed like Miss Sarah. β
"That's a lot of demand."
"Because you're not a classmate of Lane, you're Instructor Lane."
The word instructor, Claire specifically bites the accent.
Li En knew what she meant, and his expression was helpless.
Instead of persuading, Claire continued, "Come on, Instructor Lane. β
"Major, spare me, at least don't use this way." Lane raised his hand in surrender.
"Huh." Claire couldn't help but laugh, and for the first time her face had a brilliant taste.
Li En saw it in his eyes, and a certain stone hanging in his heart was gently put down.
The performance just now can't be regarded as a performance, but there is also an element of deliberate guidance, in order to make Claire happy.
After Caster's suggestion, Rien realized Claire's intentions. Although she could only pretend not to know before she could express something, how could Lane really act like she didn't know anything.
The most irresistible thing for Li En is to treat him sincerely, and Clea's sincerity Li En may not be able to accept it all, but he will never trample on it.
Not to mention that Claire herself has done nothing wrong, she has always been dedicated to her responsibilities and helped him openly and secretly.
Therefore, after perceiving her complicated emotions and the pressure she bears, Li En thought about what to do, at least not to put pressure on her side.
At present, the effect is still good. After making Claire laugh, there is less restraint and more casualness between the two, which can only be found when they work together during the civil war.
Whatever the future holds, Lane wants Claire to be well, and that's what Osborne thinks.
When the atmosphere on the two of them was right, a loud voice interjected.
"Ah, what are you two whispering!"
He didn't need to look at the person to know who it was, and the voice was so familiar that he had to listen to it many times a day - one of his students, Yuna Crawford.
"I'm nostalgic for the past, and I'll tell you about my first internship and when I do it later." Rien didn't hide it, and there was nothing unpleasant between him and Claire.
"Hehe, I haven't seen Yuna for two months." Claire smiled at Yuna, not only because of her improved mood, but also because of the kindness that only acquaintances have.
"At that time, I was really taken care of by Instructor Claire." Yuna's attitude towards Claire was better than that of Rien, "Saved me at that timeβ"
"At that time?" Dawn asked knowingly.
"No, it's nothing." Yuna turned her head awkwardly, "This is the girl's privacy, no spying." β
"It was when I went to the military police academy to be an instructor, and Yuna and I met at that time." Claire explained in a whisper, "It's more about Yuna's privacy, you can ask her." β
Li En nodded on the surface, but said in his heart: No need to ask, I already know, including the fact that she can't finish her studies because she doesn't have enough credits, so you send her to Tolz to mix the credits.
That's right, Yuna's original intention of coming to Tolz was to mix credits, but she quickly integrated into the group, was positive, studied hard, and in essence she was always a good child, otherwise she would not have been favored by Claire - if you want to impress Claire, seriousness is an indispensable element.
"I haven't seen Lieutenant Orlando in three months. Thank you so much for your willingness to assist with the second branch. β
After greeting Yuna, Claire turns her gaze back to Randy, who came with Yuna. Yuna is one of the few girls who work with Randy as a coolie, and she really doesn't lose much to the boys in a single round of strength.
"Actually, it's kind of semi-forced." Randy scratched his head, "Don't worry, I'll do the job I've got in hand, if you don't do it that hard." β
"Well, I'll take it to heart."
Claire is not so casual with Randy, after all, the positions of the two sides have always been hostile. suppressed the opposition of Cross Bell, led by the Special Support Section, and she also contributed less.
"Here you are, Major Levitt."
Someone else came over, it was Michael Erwin. He was also accompanied by the last member of the instructor group, Tova.
"Major Erwin, you've worked so hard." Claire regained her initial restraint when she faced Rien, "I haven't seen Tova in a long time. β
"Ahaha, it's been half a year since the NGO incident." Tova still laughs first when she meets people, and her affinity is full.
Compared with Michael who is always cold-faced by his side, day by day, even the greetings have to be interrupted.
"Let's put the greeting to the back first, the time is almost up, what about the principal and the doctor? I don't think she's got her special machine in the car. β
"Becauseβthere's no need for that!"
Speaking of Aurelia, Aurelia arrived, with Dr. Schmidt, the advisor.
"Long time no see, Lord Aurelia, Dr. Schmidt." Claire stood up and saluted.
"Hmph, TMP's girl." Schmidt, as always, was impersonal.
"Long time no see, Miss Ice Maiden." Aurelia was not decent, "Thank you for coming to deliver the car in person and accompanying them to the scene." β
"Don't dare to be." For these two talents who stand at the top of the empire in their respective fields, Claire will not be slack.
"No, not too much, principal, you say that the body does not need to be transported......" Michael had a faint premonition in his heart.
In the next second, the foresense was confirmed, and Aurelia said bluntly:
"Because you don't need it. Neither Dr. nor I will be present at this drill. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed except for Li En.
Michael and Claire are frowning, and Randy, Yuna, and Tova are confused.
Especially Tova and Michael.
"I wrote the proposal under the premise that the principals were working together."
"Please, please wait a minute, this is different from what we said, we also counted you when calculating the combat power on the scene."
Aurelia was unmoved: "That's why I did this, as the saying goes, lions deliberately push children down the valley, if I go with you, you can't really grow, and I've already informed the Intelligence Bureau first." β
Dr. Schmidt was even more indifferent: "How do local exercises help my research? All the application and recording work will be handed over to the disciples to make up for later, and we will do our best to assist everyone. β
"Hmm." Knowing that the two of them had made up their minds, Michael's face was extremely ugly, and he complained in a rare whisper, "It's terrible." β
