Part 1: The Freshman, Chapter 17, Law-Roy Cruz

Lux's exit seemed to be carried with all the enthusiasm, and the originally noisy venue suddenly became a lot quieter, and even I felt that the figure of the girl disappearing from the stage was so fascinating.

"I don't think you know her full name." Jill looked at me and smiled.

"Her name is ......"

"Lux Klein, I guess you can guess something from the name."

"Klein? She's Speaker Klein's ......"

"That's right, Lux Klein is the only beloved daughter of Schiel Klein, and she is also the future daughter-in-law of Patrick Sarah." Jill calmly uttered this answer that surprised me.

"That's an amazing identity." I smiled wryly.

"So, that young lady is an unattainable big man for us." Jill took a sip of a glass of wine, "By the way, Leonard, are you free now?" ”

"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"

"I'd like to introduce you to a friend." Jill smiled and beckoned behind me.

I looked back and saw a tall, blonde man walking towards us with graceful steps. The most striking thing about this man is that he wears a metal mask that covers most of his face, but this does not hide the elegance that exudes from his bones. I'm sure he must have been born into a noble family with a long history. I noticed that he was dressed in a white officer's attire, which seemed to be at least a level above me (the protagonist was wearing the red Zaft elite at this time).

When the blonde man walked up to us, Jill enthusiastically introduced us to each other.

"Leonard, this is Captain Rau Lu Cruz, a very powerful young Zhuang officer."

"Law, this is ......"

"Jill, don't bother you," Law's voice was as cold as ice as his own, and I even wondered if there would be a coffin face under his mask, so he wore a mask for fear of scaring people.

"Leonard and I have known each other for a long time." Law's words surprised me, such a special person, I believe that once I have met, I am afraid that it is impossible to forget it for the rest of my life, but I am sure that I do not remember him as a person.

Seeing that Jill and I looked puzzled, Law then explained our doubts: "The Blood Angel - Leonard von Findrad, I have heard your name more than once in the past few days. ”

Jill showed a look of sudden realization: "It turns out that you are the hero of the Battle of Junius 7, no wonder I heard your name so familiar just now." ”

Jill and Law's language and demeanor are very natural, but they always give me the slightest feeling that something is wrong. Was my encounter with Jill really just a coincidence?

As soon as we found a place to sit down, Law asked me a question: "As a survivor of the Battle of Junius 7, Leonard, do you hate natural people?" ”

Although I found this question a little inexplicable, I answered him seriously: "There is definitely hatred for the United Earth Government." But I'm not so radical about raising this hatred to the level of a race. ”

"Is that so?" Law smiled meaningfully, and then said to me, "I know a little about your experience, you were played with and tortured as an experiment by a mad scientist of PLANT when you were a child, and if it weren't for the army's fast enough, you might have died a long time ago." But the rest of the day was not easy, because of the death of both parents and sent to an orphanage, and at the age of ten he was forcibly conscripted into the army, until the Battle of Junius 7. Is it because of these experiences that you don't have enough identification with the PLANT government? ”

"I'm sorry, I still don't quite understand what you mean, I wonder if you can explain it clearly?" Law's words made me feel like I was in a fog, and I wondered if it was because I had been away from PLANT for so long, so I didn't even have the necessary social adaptability.

"If one day you really understand, we will probably already be very close comrades-in-arms. Oh, sorry, I'm sorry. Law gracefully apologized, then got up and left.

"What a strange man." I shook my head.

C.E.702/18

This was my first meeting with Lou Lou Lou Cruz.

Shortly after Law's departure, it was time for the memorial service to end. Jill and I had a casual chat, then left each other's contact information and went our separate ways.

****************************************************

In the days that followed, I asked the Speaker for a day off to visit the orphanage in February. It may be that it is not the right time for me to go back, and all my childhood friends are gone. Amy, who has become a dean, told me that Schunaide and Cap had left the orphanage six months ago, and now one is a computer engineer and the other is working in a trading company. Liao Gel was the first to leave, and he is now in the government department, and is said to be the secretary of a prestigious parliamentarian. Lilith, who I miss the most, was adopted by a kind couple a year after I left and now seems to live in April City. The sisters Luna and Meiling came a few times later, and heard that Luna had been admitted to the Non-commissioned Officer Academy last year, focusing on MS piloting and tactical command; Because Meiling was not old enough, she had to enter the communication department that recruited young students.

In this way, almost everyone I have a relationship with has found their own path in life, only I am still waiting for the verdict of fate in a daze.

In the next few days, it may be that Chairman Sarah "understands" my hard work, so I have not received any assignments, so I have to stay bored in the officers' quarters, except for the necessary training every day, it is simply a petty bourgeois life that is extremely corrupt. Fortunately, there was also a brother who came to disturb me from time to time, and the cold man like a statue of Lou Lou Cruz came to me to say something inexplicable since he had met me at the memorial service. In fact, after the memorial service, I specifically asked Speaker Klein about this guy, and according to the Speaker, he belonged to the backbone of Chairman Sarah's faction, so I once thought that Chairman Sarah had not given up on his intention to woo me, so he sent him to approach me. But soon I found out that he didn't mean that at all, but kept telling me about the evil deeds of natural people and adjusters, trying to instill in me the idea that the world was evil.

Frankly speaking, this guy Lao really has a set of demagogic methods, and those things that sound rebellious come out of his mouth seem to make sense, if I were just this miserable child in this life, maybe I was really moved by him. From his words, I can tell that Rau Rue Cruz is a man who hates the world from the bottom of his heart, and he is not just targeting people and organizations that oppose him like Lambs or Patrick Salar, but he is crazy about hating everything in this world, whether it is a natural person or an adjuster, the earth or the plant, which is the target of his destruction. The most terrifying thing is that even he himself is one of the objects he wants to destroy.

A madman who wants to destroy the world is not terrible, but if this madman is not only extremely talented, but also calm and organized, it is a very terrible thing.
