Volume 1 Gamma Empire Chapter 6 Talent (3)
The moment he put down his pen, Karl seemed to lose all his strength in his body, and the soldiers on the side pushed him away from the area.
The surrounding group of onlookers would point fingers, sympathize, or ridicule everyone who failed the Battle Spirit qualification test. After all, there is a slight regret.
After all, in this small town of Rum, if there are a few more warriors, it will be of great help to the local residents in the future.
Only those who are also testing today, but failing, leave no room for Carl's slanderous sarcasm at this moment.
"Hmph, I knew that guy in the orphanage would definitely not have the qualifications of a war spirit!"
"Of course, don't look at that guy's joy on weekdays, now you don't have to honestly go to the army with us to report!"
"But didn't they just go in together with three people, why did they come out like this?"
"It's really fake, I heard the people before say that it seems that only people with the qualifications of war spirits will stay in that room, and the others have been driven out."
"It seems like this, but I think this one named Carl doesn't look as smart as those two children, but the children who came out of the orphanage really have the qualifications of a warrior?"
There are always some people in the world who don't want others to be able to do things that they can't do.
If you do it, he will sour you, and if you can't, he will laugh at you. As everyone knows, while he is laughing at you, he is actually just laughing at his own incompetence.
The whispers of these people were like a blade constantly stabbing Carl's heart, but fortunately, just when Carl was very uncomfortable, Silas, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally came to Carl's side.
"Kid, let's go, it's okay!" Silas kindly patted Carl on the shoulder, took Carl's hand and walked out of the crowd.
Carl followed Silas in a trance, passing through the crowd again, and more nonsense continued to reach his ears.
However, Silas's big calloused hands brought great comfort to Carl at this time, and was held tightly in Silas's hands, and Carl's feelings for Silas were particularly touched.
On weekdays, when they were in the orphanage, except for the old headmaster, it was Silas who was the best for Carl. This father-like man always came to make up for the fatherly love that Carl lacked.
It was a long time before Carl and Silas left the bustling area of Rumtown Square and returned to the quieter streets.
Carl looked at the tall, but slightly clumsy back of Silas in front of him, sighed lightly, and suddenly said, "Silas, I'll go back first." ”
Silas stopped, looked back at Carl, and asked, "Are you sure it's okay?" ”
Carl snorted, glanced back at the still lively square, and replied helplessly: "Arthur and Sophia will come out later, and you still need to take them back." Don't worry, I grew up in this town of Rum, don't you know the way back to the orphanage? ”
Silas sighed secretly, glanced at Carl with a complicated expression, and finally let go of Carl's hand that had been clenching.
Carl stared at Silas as he slowly walked away, his fists clenched, and after a moment he turned around and continued towards the orphanage.
In a short time he was back on the streets of the orphanage, and to his surprise, the children in the orphanage were now standing on the street, looking at the street where Carl had come.
As soon as they saw Carl's figure, a group of children immediately flocked enthusiastically.
"What about you?" Carl looked at the group of children around him in surprise, and asked with some doubts, according to the usual habit, this group of children went to the "garbage mountain" to play at this time.
"Big Brother Carl, Big Brother Carl! Have you succeeded, can you become a warrior? A younger child asked Carl.
Looking at Carl's puzzled expression, Joel beside him quietly explained, "The dean has explained to us that the three of you are going to test the qualifications of the Battle Spirit Warrior today. ”
Carl then understood, then smiled bitterly, and said to the group of younger brothers and sisters around him: "I failed, I can only honestly serve in the army, Arthur and Sophia have succeeded, everyone will congratulate them later!" ”
Everyone was disappointed to hear that Karl had failed the test, but when they heard that Arthur and Sophia had succeeded, they all cheered.
In this orphanage, although the children are from different families and different backgrounds, as long as they come to this orphanage, the affection between everyone has long surpassed the feelings of ordinary families.
At this moment, everyone is really happy for Arthur and Sophia, and there are also some attentive children who feel the unwillingness and loss in Carl's tone, and keep comforting Carl.
"Brother Carl, don't worry, if I go to serve in the army in the future, I will definitely go to your subordinates to be a junior brother!"
"Yes, big brother, no matter where we are, we will follow you firmly!"
Listening to these words, Karl's heart was touched for a while, and he tilted his head slightly in discomfort, unwilling to let the tears in his eyes flow out.
"What nonsense! You guys, you're going to be warriors in the future! ”
Carl pretended to be angry, then rubbed a few little heads, and commanded: "Okay, you all continue to wait for Arthur and Sophia here, big brother, I have to go back to the room to rest now!" ”
A group of little ones nodded obediently and got out of the way, Carl walked into the courtyard quickly, suddenly felt a gaze, looked up, and saw that it was the old dean, who was in the office, looking at himself through the window.
Karl smiled bitterly, shook his head, and returned to his room with a slightly lonely figure, but he didn't notice that the dean behind the window had a satisfied and natural expression on his face.
As soon as he walked into the room, Carl let out a hysterical roar, and then lay on the bed very depressed, and after thinking for a while, he slowly fell asleep.
After sleeping for I don't know how long, Carl was suddenly woken up by a commotion outside the window, quickly came to the window, and looked down, sure enough, it was Arthur and Sophia who came back together!
Successfully tested the qualifications of the war spirit, Arthur and Sophia's future life track is destined to be different, but the children in the orphanage are too close to each other, and the noise downstairs at this moment is all blessings and joy.
Carl stood by the window, his fists clenched, and stared at Arthur and Sophia downstairs from a distance, with an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
