"Instructor, is there anything else?" Xiu looked at Gerard quietly.

"Xiu, can you understand my intentions in doing this?" Gerald looked deeply at the child in front of him.

"I don't know." Xiu replied very simply.

"No, you know, or maybe you don't know everything." Gerard said, "There's a potential in you, it's a precious thing." Compared with all the other students in the same class, you are more thoughtful and dare to work hard...... It stands to reason that your upbringing should make you cowardly. I don't know if you're good or bad like this......"

"Sir, please don't comment on my home." Xiu suddenly interrupted Gerald's words, "What the hell is my home...... I don't want people to judge. ”

Gerald smiled faintly, "But I'm talking too much." I just want to say that you must not forget what I have done and said today. Those words may be scolding you, or making things difficult for you, or they may be directed at you, I don't want you to forget, and I want you to remember these words firmly. These will help you later on. ”

"......" Xiu looked at Gerald in silence.

"What, don't you believe it? Still think it's incredible? Gerald looked at the clear purple in those stubborn eyes.

"Don't overthink it, I'm telling you right now that I'm doing it for your good. I'm scolding you for making things difficult for you, but at the same time I'm also training you. ”

Xiu remained silent and did not speak. But the look in his eyes told Gerald that he was listening.

"You weren't bad that day, on the contrary, you were wonderful. It was more than I expected. Abandoning the decisiveness of carrying heavy loads and moving forward lightly, he crossed the speed of the original hundreds of miles of mountain roads in two hours, and took more than 20 people to cross the cliff with the courage...... None of these students can do it...... No, not even the generals in the realm of ordinary people can do this! But why am I scolding you, you know? ”

Xiu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Because you're too extreme!" Gerald sighed, "You directly put all your things together in order to complete the task, originally this assessment, I didn't plan to let you pass the test at all, but I wanted you to feel the gap between yourself and the regular knights." Instead, you let me see your solo show. When I scolded you, did you feel very aggrieved and unconvinced, and felt that you had done nothing wrong? I'm telling you, you're not wrong in terms of tasks, but you're very wrong in terms of my training plan! ”

"You saw the performance of those bunnies just now? Now these people think that they are omnipotent and dare to disobey the orders of the chief! I'm telling you, in the Knights of Destiny, such a situation is absolutely not allowed! If this happens, you can be executed directly, do you know? Do you think that a large number of people can force the commander to comply? If you really want to punish them, I don't need to do anything, Lirum, who is in charge of the map, can knock you all down! My words are more for those rookies who don't know the height of the sky! ”

"Xiu, you're the captain now, their captain. You have to look like a captain yourself! You must know that the consciousness and consciousness of the captain and the team members are completely two levels! You have to realize that from now on, you have to lead your team to become strong, not you alone! ”

Gerald said many, many words, and every word and sentence may not be as righteous as a church priest, or as meaningful as a classroom teacher, but it is simple and beautiful.

"Why do you say so much to me, it's not necessary at all." Xiu finally spoke.

"Because I'm not going to be afraid to express my thoughts like somebody." Gerald said something inexplicably, but it made Xiu's little face sink.

"Sometimes I really hate you." Xiu said this, and the last person he wanted to mention was his father.

"There are a lot of people who hate me, and there will be more and more in the future. How many do you think you can count? Gerald said indifferently.

"Any more words?" Xiu said a little coldly.

"Don't let me live up to the strength I have given you. Your squad will be your most valuable asset in the future. Although it will be a little difficult for you to actually get them, it won't be too much of a problem for you...... Oh yes. ”

"Why give them to me, you know I don't have that kind of power..."

"No, you have. You've led them to great results. The point is... It's not that I gave it to you, it's that they chose you. At least, they didn't and didn't ostracize you, did they. ”

"They are not strength, they are companions." Xiu said.

"No matter what you think, they're a force. You'll need them later..."

"It's a companion, not a power!" Xiu interrupted Gerald, who was still about to say something, and said firmly and calmly.

Gerald just looked at him. Shuya looked straight into Gerald's eyes.

They just looked at each other for a long, long time.

"Okay, it's a companion, okay." Gerald didn't seem to want to dwell on such a small question anymore: "You're going to need their help later." Cherish your companions well. Okay, that's all I'm going to say...", he suddenly remembered something else, "Oh, yes. I'm not giving you these for free, I'm going to charge for them. ”

"What can I give you? Now I have nothing. My strength is pitiful to you, and my life is worthless to you. ”

"Yes, remember your words well, and you won't regret it in the future. Because there are always things you don't realize about, but can be used by others, including your life. Gerald waved his hand, "You're ready to go." ”

Xiu silently turned around, pushed open the creaking wooden door, and closed it softly as he left.

Before the door closed completely, Gerald's words whispered again: "Sooner than I want." At that time, I will give you the strength you want, and at the same time, it will also be the beginning of your return to me. ”

Xiu left silently.

He returned to the training ground.

Halfway through their workouts, their peers are relaxing their muscles for the last few sessions.

When Xiu returned here, everyone couldn't help but stop their movements.

"It's okay, don't bother with me." Xiu smiled and said to his companions, "Don't be overtaken by me." As he spoke, he picked up the overweight weight jacket that the instructor had used and draped it over his body.

That strength made his entire legs soften, and the heavy iron tightly strangled his shoulders.

"How can that not worry us." Luna clutches her arms, but some of them look at Xiu who is clearly very wrong.

"Luna, I'm worried about Xiu too, but..."Andrew said with a sad face, "can you not hold my hand, it hurts!" ”
