On the return train, the people of Class VII, who were speechless all the way, looked at Ike who was sleeping from time to time in whispers.

"What now? My stomach was full of questions and I couldn't even sleep well. Macchias yawned and whispered to Rian.

"I guess everyone is the same." Ike replied with a wry smile.

"Since you want to ask, why don't you ask yourself." Jusis replied coldly.

"Stupid, stupid, if you ask now, you will definitely be scolded." Marchias glanced at Ike, who was sleeping soundly with his hat covered, and replied in a low voice, "By the way, isn't Faye very familiar with Instructor Ike?" If it's a Philippines. ”

"I don't want it." Fei simply refused, "It sounds like it feels so troublesome." ”

"Uhhh

"Besides, he didn't sleep at all when Ike said, he heard everything you said." Fei said expressionlessly, but there seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

"Huh?" Stunned, he watched as Ike took off his hat and pointed at him speechless for a moment.

"You shouldn't say it." Ike was a little helpless: "Doesn't it look fun?" ”

"Because Ike you're too badly interested." Fei replied unceremoniously, "Besides, I think the expression of Macchias is more interesting now." ”

"I feel the same way." Jusis rarely chimed in.

"Don't play tricks on Macchias anymore." Rien looked at Macchias, who was blushing but speechless, and smiled bitterly, "But, as Macchias said, we have a stomach of questions now, and I would like to ask you to explain." ”

"Well, depending on the level of the question, I will choose to answer or not to answer, "Don't ask too childish questions, or I'll get angry." ”

"Yes." Li En sat up straight one after another, sorted out his thoughts for a while with a serious expression, and then spoke, "Instructor Ike, you have known the current situation from the beginning, right?" Let's see why this situation is happening? ”

"Yes, the status quo of the Empire. Not to mention us, even those who have lived in the empire for a while, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to find this situation. As for why you should come and see it, the reason is very simple. Ike pointed to Rien, "As students at the Military Academy, most of you have to choose between the aristocracy and the reformers after graduation. The so-called adults, when they can't solve the problem themselves, often push the problem to others. ”

"Sounds like Ike did it." Faye interjected.

"That's the status quo." Ike shrugged: "Adults tend to be more direct and violent in their approach to solving problems. The only solution they can think of now is that you have seen it. But you are different, you are not affiliated with any side now, if it were you, from the perspective of a bystander, maybe there will be a new solution, which is why the Military Academy let you come for an internship. I told you too, you are the pawns of the pathfinder, and there are many 'essences' of this empire that need your help. "Ek paused" By the way, the St. Teyak that Group B went to is also one of the strongholds of the 'Four Famous Gates', and judging from the information obtained from Sarana, it seems that there are many problems. But with the concerted efforts of the four of them, it seems that they have finally survived. Compared to you, it seems that they are better this time. Ike said with some distress, "No way, although Sarah's victory is a little unpleasant, but this time let's make them happy." But next time, you won't fail again. ”

"We get it." Li En and the others glanced at each other and replied.

"So, what's the problem?" Ike looked around and asked.

"It's about the fortress of Orox." Fei, who was speechless, suddenly rushed to speak, and her tone was a little solemn, "To be honest, the situation there is quite bad." ”

"That's true." Ike replied, "I also slipped in and took a look, and the number of chariots and other ordnance was too much to be honest, even to arm the Lords in the entire Dukeland. Moreover, there are many heavy weapons among them, which are said to be used to prevent thieves and training, and I am afraid that they themselves do not believe it. The same is probably true of the other strongholds of the 'Four Great Families'. And not only the Confederate army, but also the regular army is expanding its army, needless to say that it is also reformist... Centered on the two dozen mecha divisions mastered by the iron-blooded prime minister. ”

"Two, twenty?!"

"That's right." Looking at the shocked crowd, Ike slowly spoke, "Erebonia is the most powerful country on the continent. Even so, more than two dozen mecha divisions are a force that is enough to change the trend of the country, to put it more simply, if there is no aristocratic faction, with the army in hand now, Iron Blood can easily let the emperor step down and sit in the emperor's seat himself. ”

"It can't be!" Macchias stood up suddenly, his flushed face bruised, "Lord Osborne is not such a person at all. ”

"Sit down Macchias." Ike said coldly, "Is it such a person, you can't explain it as a student, the fact in front of people is that he does control this trembling force." I think that if the aristocracy and the reformers start a war, the aristocracy will seize on this fact and attack the iron will. When a person's strength can easily change everything, it is probably the time when he is attacked by a group. Ike stretched, but these problems are not something you can solve now, these are adult problems, and you can't solve them without solving them. What you need now is to look well, to think well, and to be with you partners. As for how to do it, when you go through more things, maybe you will have a different view than you do now, and you will choose a different approach than you do now. So follow your pace step by step, you are still students, there are infinite futures and possibilities, don't be afraid, don't be ambitious, this is the way for class VII. ”

“。。。 But now we ... Li En and the others glanced at each other, "To be honest, I don't know what to do." ”

"It's very simple, get back to school and get a good night's sleep, get ready for the next lesson, and from time to time I'll call someone to practice alone, if that's not enough... Ike thought for a moment, and smiled darkly, "You might as well think about it - midterm test... How is it? ”
