"But to be honest, I really didn't expect Altair to be so short of coal............ I can't see it at all on the street. ”

Anjie was walking through the streets of Altair City, looking around for the Nelgin department store with a small note in her hand.

"Can't see it? It's probably because the city officials here are doing a good job, look over there."

"Huh?"

Looking in the direction of the system, he could see the city officials in uniform talking to some citizens with a smile on their faces, and he was a little surprised when he saw An Jie in military uniform. Then he nodded kindly to her.

An Jie returned the favor.

"Competent government officials...... This creature is a rarity. ”

An Jie complained.

"Don't be deceived by the guys in Beijun City who only eat and don't work, how can a group that can dominate a country be waste."

The system hits the nail on the head.

"But you, who made that kind of agreement with someone else, what are you going to do?"

An Jie shrugged.

"Cold salad!"

The system is confused.

『……………… Huh?'

"Don't be so nervous, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. It's just a matter of clearing out the Earth Demon Beasts within a week, and you can always find a way. ”

『………………』

The small department is speechless.

A little girl standing on the side of the road tugged at her mother's sleeve, pointed at An Jie with an innocent look and asked:

"Mommy, Mommy! Why is that little sister talking to herself alone? ”

Her mother covered her mouth all at once.

"Good boy, don't mind such things! Come, let's go home. ”

Anjie: ".................."

『…… Do not be discouraged, they do not know about my existence, and do not be like them.'"

"No, in fact, what hurt me more was the sentence 'little sister'"

An Jie was frustrated and bent forward, feeling that she had nothing to love.

"I can't help it......... Who called me only 1.3 meters...... Not much taller than a bigger doll...... Heh, heh............"

Fragile and sad about her height for a while, An Jie still stood up strongly.

She had to stand up.

Because the Nairkin department store has arrived.

"Ahhh Hurry up and go back to catch up with the afternoon magic class! ”

An Jie patted her cheek and rushed into the department store in one go!

An hour later............

She walked out with a large bag of things and a dejected face.

"Old ...... I want to blow up this shop. ”

"Calm down, it's not the first time you've been treated like a child. For the sake of the snacks in hand, let them go.'"

Anjie is a child, yes, her body and age are a standard child. But she herself will never admit it! She thought that this military uniform would add some serious points to her.

But I didn't expect to be said to be cute by the staff at the department store.

Comes with a number of snacks.

It was the most poignant snack she'd ever had.

"I really want to blow up this shop!!"

…………

In the afternoon, the magic non-commissioned officer taught the team.

Captain's office.

"This is the equipment recovery document signed with the mining company under the Merchants Guild of Altai City, this is the transfer document entrusted to the Imperial Workers' Association to help transport the equipment, and in the five tempered glass barrels over there are the whale oil you want."

As she spoke, An Jie took out a box larger than the palm of her hand from her back.

“…… The latest mint cigar from Nergin. ”

Captain Simon reached out and took it.

"Where's the wine?"

An Jie narrowed her eyes, and there was a look of malice in her eyes.

"Article 27 of the Military Code stipulates that no alcohol shall be consumed during work. So I donated all the sake I bought to the workers who were still working hard in the winter............ Everyone is full of praise for your generosity, Captain~"

She got her wish and admired a series of wonderful changes in the captain's expression, from stunned to distressed to broken down to loveless.

"Sgt. Scarlett, you ............"

The corners of Simon's eyes jumped to look at An Jie, who seemed to be a little happy because he successfully pitted him.

“…… You're doing it perfectly! ”

Obvious misalignment......

An Jie smiled even happier!

"But ............"

Captain Simon's words changed sharply, and he said with a little playfulness:

"I hope that after Operation Whack-a-Mole begins, you will be able to keep your promise as if you were strictly abiding by the military code!"

An Jie's smile froze on her face.

Her expression went from anger to remorse to annoyance, and then to glaring at the captain!

(Sure enough, you did it on purpose!) ）

Captain Simon remained silent, just looked at An Jie with a smile.

(What if it's intentional?) You have the ability to bite me? ）

An Jie showed a pair of small tiger teeth.

(Bite and you will bite you!) Do you really think I wouldn't dare?! ）

Simon pulled out a large cigar.

(Your teeth.................. Is it hard enough? ）

An Jie suddenly remembered what she had seen when she was about to pass out at the end of the exercise, the captain who was covered in steel.

“………………”

An Jie naturally couldn't do such a disgraceful thing as biting, so she "snapped" and saluted!

"Yes! The subordinate will definitely live up to the glory of the imperial soldiers! ”

"Excellent! Let's go down. ”

Watching Angeliso turn away, the military boots wrapped around a pair of slender soles deliberately seemed to stomp the floor "thump".

Simon's expression was smug, as if he had won a game.

But his heart was actually dripping blood.

(It's a pity, my wine............ ）

Wizard Non-commissioned Officer Training Team, classroom on the second floor.

"Sergeant Angel Scarlett is here to report!"

(It's dangerous!) Almost late! ）

The instructor of the magic guidance class nodded when he saw An Jie, who was reporting at the press point, stretched out his finger and pointed to a deliberately reserved seat in the front row, and said with a pleasant face:

"Take a seat, sergeant, and I'll be waiting for you."

"Yes!"

(It's amazing that the instructor is so kind!) ）

As An Jie sat down, the magic class officially began. It's not the first time that An Jie has taken a magic guide class, she also took a class yesterday, mainly talking about the history of magic guidance.

The general content is the history of the evolution of the ancient magic wand to the modern magic guide gun. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution, the magic guide gradually abandoned the form of a staff that could only be used as a mallet except for casting spells, and changed to a "multi-functional all-in-one magic guide lance staff" that could shoot bullets without magic and use magic to play with beams

Abbreviated as the Magic Gun.

And today I finally want to talk about the technique that Anjie attaches the most importance to!

History or something aside, the technique is a good thing that can directly increase her combat effectiveness! She couldn't let it go.

Taking out the compass, curve ruler and other geometric tools prepared earlier, An Jie cast an expectant look at the instructor on the podium.

And the instructor did not disappoint her, and quickly scribbled a line of large characters on the blackboard behind him.

"Enchantment", "Optical", "Enhanced"

"As we all know, these three schools are the mainstream magic applications of the Empire. Enchantments are used to create magic guides, optics are used to launch attacks, and enhancements are used to protect themselves. ”

The instructor took the whip and tapped the blackboard.

That is, 'attack', 'defense', and 'support', and it is said that those magicians play with very slippery long ears have more complex and elaborate magic application techniques. But for the Empire, what matters is not how many tricks there are, but whether they are resistant to the groove or not! So it's enough for us to have these three! ”

"Now I'm going to tell you about the strengthening techniques, turn the first page of the textbook, and remember the techniques inside. I'll give you five minutes. ”

After speaking, he stood aside and hugged his hands without making a sound.

An Jie took advantage of these five minutes to keep the techniques recorded on the first page firmly in her heart, and the military library of the teaching team did not provide borrowing of magic magic spells, and the only techniques she could access were the textbooks handed out during the class in front of her.

But despite her efforts, the end result was still miserable.

Angel Scarlett has no aptitude for math.

This is not at the same level as the novice enhancement technique she learned at the beginning! Looking at the icons on the textbook, you can know that this is also a strengthening technique, but the dense runes constitute a rune line with nine curves and eighteen bends, and there are twelve node runes in the rune line, and there are four elements in the ring symbolizing the text, and there is a circle of rune lines in the middle, wrapping a line of sesame-sized core formulas............

(I don't understand!) ）

An Jie grabbed the table with her head and declared her heart.

She was deeply aware that the magic guide was not something to be played by scumbags.

It's just that she's a scumbag............

(Old!) Am I not gifted in this area? ）

『………… I think you should show perseverance now, where is the energy to stay up for five days and devour books desperately?'

(It's not a question of perseverance or not!) I can't gnaw on the hard bone of the magic guide just by working hard! It's all knowledge I don't know, and a door turns me away! ）

"Then you can only blame your lack of intelligence."

(You get out!) ）

An Jie was heartbroken, it was like she was excited to make a long-awaited masterpiece, only to find out when she played - the computer configuration was not enough.

The game experience is poor!

"Alright, five minutes is up! Everybody follow me to the playground! ”

The instructor glanced at the mechanical watch above the blackboard in the classroom and gave the order to go out.

An Jie sighed in her heart.

What are you going out for? 100% field test! This was different from when she messed into the drills, where she used the magic guide gun engraved with the light academic style to attack, as long as she had no brainless input of magic, but now she had to do the calculations herself, with her little math ability at most high school level..................

(Huh?) Calculus? ）

An Jie suddenly thought of something.

All the students who were conducting the magic guidance class followed the instructor to the playground, where a heavily armed ensign was already waiting for them with a malicious face.

The instructor also changed his pleasant face to An Jieshi, and said to his students with a malicious face:

"Now is the time to put your talents to the test."

The students shuddered, they were basically corporals, how had they ever seen such a battle? That second lieutenant is really armed to the teeth, hey! The one in your hand is the Grimm cannon, right? It's the Grimm cannon!

By the way, An Jie also mixed in with this group of first-year students on the grounds of completing the foundation. Became the only sergeant in a group of corporals.

So............

"Don't want mother-in-law! What does it look like! ”

The instructor yelled at these hesitant students dissatisfied, and then called them by name!

"Sergeant Angel Scarlett, as the leader of this group of waste, start with you!"

An Jie burst into tears: (I knew it!) ）

But the instructor spoke, and she had to come out of the ranks.

"Yes!"

The instructor nodded, and gestured to the second lieutenant behind him, armed to the teeth.

"From now on, I want you to spread the 'shield' you just learned to defend against the ensign's attack. Rest assured, it's all training bombs. ”

Xu is self-pleasing to the eyes, and the instructor's tone towards her is not so serious. As soon as she heard that they were all training bullets, An Jie also breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, it was also ~ how can there be live ammunition during training............

Only then he added:

"As long as you don't get hit by the vital point, you won't die............ Probably. ”

(Bastard!) Will you die?!! ）
