The Flame of All Things Chapter 19 – Their Respective Stories

The scorching heat of August has finally passed, and there is a rare shade on the western mountain. But for those students who have a long way to go, it's just a little less sweat. This did not make them more comfortable, but made the instructor feel that the weather could be cooler and more ruthless.

At night, on the mountain path, the students walked in several teams in the forest, which belonged to their right to rest, and the scenery of the West Mountain seemed to be good, and even the time to stand in the mountains and blow the wind became precious under the training of the devil. Gu Xiaobei was among that group of people, he felt that the current life was very good, there was no need to be in a daze, the sun was setting at the end of training every day, and he had to wash up and exercise in the morning as soon as he opened his eyes. All at once, a day passed, a month passed.

His thin body began to become stronger, but through the mirror, he was actually a little stronger, maybe the next time he went back to see his grandmother during the summer vacation, grandma would not recognize him, right?

It's been two months of training, and the crybaby Xia Linyu finally stopped crying, her naughty and mischievous personality has converged a lot, and when the instructor first came, she still wanted to tease the instructor, but as soon as she raised her hand, the cowhide whip made a long mark on the ground, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Squad leader Chen Mingming shaved a hedgehog head and put it at the front, like a small commander who took the lead in the charge. The people behind him were all his "little soldiers", and as soon as he gave an order, the soldiers behind shouted and rushed forward.

Of course, these are all jokes, which everyone uses to adjust the atmosphere. There is always something to entertain yourself in a boring life, and it is difficult to survive these days without spiritual sustenance. Especially the children who grew up in these modern metropolises need to rely on their own perseverance to persevere in such a place that is far away from the world. The instructor said that during the crusade, in order to track down a ghost, one student once buried himself in the sand for two days, surviving on water and compressed bread.

The days of no communication and no tomorrow are hell compared to the present.

Many people's hearts were shaken, they felt that the combat department was too offended, and they had to go to the front line to die if they had a good life. In their hearts, they had secretly made the decision not to go to the combat department. This is actually quite normal, even if the blood of the Wu clan has made you bear a fate that is different from others. But dying with the beast doesn't mean the whole of life.

Of course, there are also those who don't think so. For example, Gu Xiaobei, when others hadn't simulated this situation, he was really thinking about the scene where he was buried in the sand. Wouldn't it be itchy? He was a little curious.

Although the night adventure in the mountains and forests is a recreational activity, it has a goal after all, and everyone can only return after finding a camp in the jungle.

Chen Mingming brushed away the cobwebs on the road and walked towards the small hill step by step. Pica followed, but he was very interested in the night's activities in the woods. The moonlight fell from a very high place, and the slope of the hill blocked a lot of things.

Ji Jie dropped his weight bag and couldn't help but rush forward.

Gu Xiaobei walked last.

"Ahhh

The guy who was obviously tired and panting just now would actually let out such a feeling. Gu Xiaobei looked at the sluggish appearance of everyone on the top and stepped on it.

It turned out that there was a lake under the hill, and the hill where everyone was a high platform. Is there a lake in the West Mountain?

The bright moonlight reflected down, the unsullied mirror silver below, the hazy mist on the lake, and the Tyndall effect in the air was obvious. The top-down hierarchy is like a holy light from heaven, and the mist is like a staircase, arranged to the top, as if leading to heaven. There is a small island in the middle of the huge circular mirror, where the water and the sky meet across the mountains and forests. Up and down are bright stars.

"It's like a poem, isn't it?" said Picca, as the crowd was immersed in it.

"Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail on the silver plate. Chen Mingming rarely felt that the ancient poems he learned in primary school could come in handy. "Do you also know our ancient Chinese poetry?"

"Of course, I saw it when I was learning Chinese, and in fact I really wanted to see if the places described in those ancient poems were really so good. Bika said

Only then did Gu Xiaobei realize that Bika was actually a foreigner, but after getting along during this time, because there was no language communication barrier, he felt that everyone was the same.

"Actually...... I've wanted to ask for a long time, why did you all come here?" It is rare for the squad leader to ask such a meaningful topic, and more often than not, he is just a hot-blooded young man.

"My words are a family mission. I hope to go back one day. Pica was very direct in his answer, and his answer was very straightforward. In fact, everyone has already guessed that when he first entered the academy, his ability was extremely outstanding.

"I'm not afraid of everyone laughing when I say it, I'm just trying to be an agent. Because I've seen the academy on a mission before, and it just so happens that I'm also a witch, that's why I'm here. Chen Mingming's own answer turned out to be like this. In fact, he didn't finish his words, the reason why the squad leader became the hardest working one was because he had a blood feud with the fierce beast. It's just that at this moment, he doesn't want to say it and spoil the rare atmosphere.

Gu Xiaobei felt that he was the kind of Wushan descendant who was burdened with the great cause of eliminating the evil in Professor Shepherd's words.

"I don't have anywhere to go, so I'll come here, there's nothing bad here, as long as I live. Ji Jie's answer was simple and clear. In fact, he looks heartless all day long, and everyone thinks that he must have some story, but no one knows.

Everyone's eyes brushed towards Gu Xiaobei

"Actually, I'm very similar to Ji Jie, and I didn't come here because I had nowhere to go. My family doesn't care much about me, I'm freer. ”

It's nice that everyone stopped talking and felt the tranquility of the mountains. During this time, many people have left, and some people have died, and the heart that can hold on is more or less depressed. Only in the mountains and forests can they relax their nerves a little.

In fact, everyone has their own story, but no matter what the reason, they are here, and no matter what the situation will become in the future. These three months are unforgettable three months in their lives, they have no enemies, no right or wrong to judge, no need to choose. All they have to do is run to the set point before sunset every day, satisfy the instructor at the martial arts training class, and show up on time for the wooden table in the dining hall.

Gu Xiaobei felt that the three years of high school were not as fulfilling as the three months here. No wonder people always say that comradeship is the most memorable, because of common hardships.

When we returned to church in the evening, everyone was dressed in gray cloth for training, as if they had stepped back a century. The girls are not pretentious, they wear it generously, it is cool and convenient, and it looks quite cute. No one knows how they managed to train in the scorching heat and still have a white lotus complexion.

The instructor stood on the stage and announced the assessment at the end of the training camp

The training camp in Gusuri's freshman period is only three months, which is to activate the awakened magic power in the students' bodies, and has the purpose of improving physical fitness and individual combat effectiveness. But not everyone ends up going back to the battlefield to fight the beasts.

There are many courses for career orientation. For example: Combat Section, R&D Section, Personnel Section, etc. The corresponding names correspond to most of the associated occupations.

The special service combatants are the Operations Section.

It's a bit like choosing a major in college, but a lot of people don't have much to do with their major after graduation, unlike Gusuri, what you choose is basically what you do later. And according to your witchcraft ability tendency, the academy will give you some appropriate advice, after all, talents must be used in the corresponding place to maximize the benefit.

"Hey, Xiaobei, what department are you going to go to after the training camp is over. Ji Jie asked

"Do you need to ask? It must be the Operations Section. Gu Xiaobei replied softly.

The instructor slapped his board on the table, and everyone fell silent again.

"The test is divided into three aspects: physical fitness, intelligence, and fighting skills. A comprehensive scoring system will be adopted based on your usual grades, the instructor's subjective impression of you, and the final assessment results. Of course, your magic will not be involved in this. ”

"By the way, I'll explain the matter of subject selection again, except for the combat department, which has certain requirements for the results of the training camp, as long as the fitness of the magic power is not too bad, there is no problem. ”

"There's nothing else to do, everyone adjusts by themselves, and you can meet in the dormitory when the time is up. ”

After the instructor gave the order to stride away, there was a commotion inside, and the most interesting thing was about the choice of subjects.

"I'll say it first, I'm going to the Operations Section, how handsome is it to be a majestic agent, isn't it?" someone stood up and said loudly.

"I'm going to the R&D department, and I've heard that the people in there don't have to be as bad as the scientists outside. ”

"Come on, the people here are studying beasts, not rocket aliens. ”

"That's better than the combat department, maybe I'll die at some point. ”

suddenly

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

The man who spoke seemed to realize this

"How...... Am I wrong? The mortality rate in the combat department has always been very high. ”

"You're right, everyone has their own ambitions. Chen Mingming stood up.

"It's just that I've worked hard to get to this day, just to go to the combat department, and if I lose this opportunity here because I'm afraid of death, I won't forgive myself. The head of the class was expressionless, and his tone was firm, not like he was hot-blooded. On the contrary, there is a sense of tragedy.

Everyone was motionless, their afterglow was skimmed, Gu Xiaobei sat on the side, feeling that this scene was like a mural, and each character had his own psychological activities.

"I appreciate your enlightenment, but it is your ability to kill the enemy. Lei Xiangtang rarely spoke.

"Do you want to have a fight?" said the class leader was a little strange today.

Bika patted Gu Xiaobei's shoulder and said secretly: Why did these two people quarrel?
