Chapter Ninety-Three: Taunt
End of course.
The small hall is usually a place for theoretical classes, and when there are no classes, many students will also use it as a temporary officer's club to spend time or socialize.
For most of the serving naval officers from the major fleets, they can get mixed into the position of officers, and they are also sent to the Naval Academy for further study as the outstanding personnel of the year, and no one is a fool.
In addition to people like Evan who have their own clear goals, networking is their most important task. Therefore, for some people, communication may be more important than the so-called short training itself.
Today, of course, is no exception.
Although the course has ended, eighty or ninety percent of the students are still gathered here.
Or they are playing card games together, or they are doing tactical exercises on the sand table, and some people are just chatting. Fortunately, the place is large enough to fully satisfy the toss of these energetic officers.
In the rather spacious auditorium, there were more than a dozen circles, more than a dozen people, and as few as a few people. What's interesting is that each circle has a boundary with others, although it is not obvious, but it does exist.
As the old saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The short course of less than 100 students has already formed more than a dozen groups in less than two weeks after the school started.
Origin, service fleet, strength, swordsmanship genre, personality hobbies... Everyone has a different label on them. It is also because of these labels that everyone becomes a member of a group, either actively or passively.
Outliers who are alien to the group? There is no such thing here.
Even Evan is no exception, although his main goal is to study in the legendary Shadow Library. But I don't want to be too maverick and be ostracized, and if I don't enjoy it, it will lead to more trouble.
All in small groups.
Neither the First Fleet nor the Third Fleet had too appealing figures, so the Second Fleet faction, represented by Lieutenant Commander Kelsen Augustine, was headed in various circles.
Although there is no military rank in the academy, this guy is undoubtedly the highest-ranking person of all.
Not only that, but he himself is a veritable "second generation of the Navy", and his grandfather is the deputy commander of the Second Fleet. It is said that since childhood, he has been practicing swordsmanship under the master of swordsmanship, although he did not take the route of an orthodox military cadet, but the background is there, attracting many people to get closer.
In total, this faction brought together more than twenty people, making it the largest of all groups.
And Aven's roommate Krell is barely one of the most well-connected in the circle from the First Fleet, and their Dawson family has a general, so it is natural that they have become the center of another small circle.
Because of his relationship, Evan also belongs to this circle by default.
And it has been more than ten days since the start of school, and Ai Wen is no longer unknown in this group of proud soldiers, at least once every three days of small tests, Ai Wen is among the top three in every course, whether it is actual combat or theory.
No matter which world it is, Xueba belongs to another dimension of creatures compared to ordinary people.
Generally, no one wants to provoke him casually, not to mention that Ai Wen has made a small limelight today, and he can be regarded as one of the people of the year in this issue.
These two circles are currently among the top two small groups, and they have been competing and friction in all aspects since the beginning of the school year. It's just that this is a military school after all, and as long as there are no accidents, appropriate competition is what the school is happy to see.
The Kelsenpies were sitting around playing a game of cards.
"Hahaha, I've won again, give money to money. ”
"Hey, Derek had a lot of luck today. ”
"Meaningless, I have a treat to the 'Platinum Oak' for a drink in the evening, and everyone has a share. ”
"Good, atmospheric!"
The loud cheers of a group of people had affected others, but they didn't care in the slightest, and even more brazenly.
“......”
"By the way, have you heard of the legend of the 'Shadow Library'?" Derek, who was temporarily in the center of attention, glanced vaguely at the location of the Krelists, as if inadvertently suddenly throwing out a topic.
Who in this circle didn't know that Derek was Kelsen's number one dogleg, and they couldn't figure out what he meant by saying this suddenly, but it didn't stop them from opening their mouths to cheer for Derek.
"Shadow Library?
"yes, is this an academy secret?"
"It's not like the academy weirdos, there's something unclean in the academy, right?"
"Hahaha, coward, how can there be something unclean in the strongest naval academy in the kingdom!"
A group of people were talking about it, and Derek saw that the atmosphere was almost bright, and said to everyone mysteriously: "The Shadow Library is an amazing place, it only circulates among the most elite people in the academy, today I tell you, don't talk nonsense to others!"
But he said that it was kept secret, but the voice was so loud that most people in the small hall could hear it, but because of his mysterious appearance, he suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
They listened intently.
"It is rumored that this 'shadow library' contains at least tens of thousands of books of occult knowledge. There are not only extraordinary swordsmanship and potions of various schools, but also alchemy that can turn stones into gold, inauguration texts of various transcendent paths, and even terrifying witchcraft.
If you can qualify for the Shadow Library, even an ordinary person can ascend to the sky in one step and have the opportunity to become a powerful transcendent. Not to mention that extraordinary knights like us will definitely gain more!"
There was a demagogy in Derek's words, and the audience around him was fascinated, who wouldn't want to go to such a good place?
Seeing that the small hall suddenly fell silent because of his words, Derek was slightly proud, stared at the eyes of the audience, and continued:
"Yes, there's no one who doesn't want to go into the Shadow Library and have a look. In order to confirm this rumor, I asked every professor in the academy to find out who in the academy has obtained this honorable qualification.
And guess what I heard?"
Facing everyone's curious and even expectant eyes, Derek suddenly laughed: "Not a single one! Neither professors nor students who have been in the academy for more than three years can say who has obtained this qualification. ”
Shh
In an instant, the audience let out a boo, and they had been waiting for a long time in vain, and it turned out that the so-called shadow library did not exist at all!
"Are you amusing us?"
"That is, if there is really such a good place, why doesn't the school directly disclose it, but also secretly, isn't it good to use the extraordinary knowledge inside to enhance the strength of the students?"
"I almost believed this kind of college weirdness that deceived children. ”
In the midst of the audience's condemnation.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just heard an interesting rumor when I asked the professors, and I wanted to compare it with the brilliant elite like you.
Except for the strange campus talk that no one will believe in children, there is a friend among us who is convinced, and he has not been approved by the school for five consecutive years, but he is not tired of it!"
Derek repeatedly told the audience around him to forgive, but his eyes rolled and he turned to the side where Krell and Evan were, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh, no, it's the innocent boy Krel, ahahaha..."
