Manipulate the ability to draw a sword, and in an instant, it creates a sword shadow in the void. A huge rock, cut open like tofu.

"Pretty flowing water! Looks like you've got quite a grasp of the ability, Commander! The adjutant looked at the cut boulder and offered Ishtar towels and water.

I wiped my sweat with a towel and drank my saliva.

"The 10,000-hour rule has now passed five years, which means at least 43,800 hours," Ishtar said. Even if I spend a third of my time sleeping and a third of my time doing other things. I've been cultivating for more than 10,000 hours. ”

The 10,000-hour rule refers to the fact that anyone who makes unremitting efforts will become an expert in a certain aspect from an ordinary person after more than 10,000 hours. To put it bluntly, this is the direct embodiment of practice makes perfect!

"I see!" The adjutant nodded.

Looking at his commander, a student-like boy who was less than twenty-two back then has now grown into a man. Two years of life in Tesha Kawa, more than a year of battlefield experience, and another five years in Cintari. He's twenty-eight too!

Thinking of such an age, many people have become parents, and maybe children can play soy sauce. As the commander of the base, if you don't have any offspring, it's also a big problem, right? Thinking of this, the adjutant said: "Commander, have you ever thought about having a child with Anna?" ”

When he heard the adjutant's words, Isha was stunned: "Do you mean to say, let me marry her?" ”

"Why not? You and Miss Anna have known each other since we were in school. Now that we've been together for a few years, what's the reason not to go? ”

Proposed?

Thinking back to his life with Anna, bit by bit.

Although Anna is not the most beautiful one in the cheerleading group, it is love at first sight when he sees her, every move, every smile, will be deeply imprinted in his mind.

I remember a time when in a team battle match in mecha fighting, when almost all of his teammates lost, even Ista lost confidence in victory. It was Anna's shouting cheer that rekindled his fighting spirit and won the game with a perfect one-five match.

Although later due to family changes, Ishtar embarked on the road of no return. Originally, I thought that when he thought that it would never be possible to meet again, it was fate that made them meet again.

At that meeting, Anna pounced on him sadly, telling that she had seen the destruction of Keha with her own eyes. At that moment, too many familiar people passed away. Watching Anna's tears deeply irritate Ishtar's heart at that time.

The five years on the planet Sintari are not in vain, it is the so-called long-term love. In five years, this is already a "marathon love".

"Do you have any concerns?"

"Worried?" After thinking about it, Isha said, "Maybe you're afraid of refusal, right?" ”

"Refuse?" Apparently the adjutant did not approve of this, and said: "How can you think so? Miss Anna gives you her precious first time, which proves that he has feelings for you. ”

Ishtar glanced at the lieutenant and said, "You're not human, and sometimes, you don't understand. ”

Why? Don't you love Miss Anna? ”

"No, it's not a question of love or not." Esta hesitated, but said it anyway: "You may not understand, I have too many things to hide, Anna. The things about the base, the things about Sylvie, Eva. And Mina, I'm scared, what should I do if she finds out? ”

A philosopher once said that when you tell a lie in order to hide the truth, you are covering it up with a hundred lies. Until everything is irretrievable and cannot be covered up, it will turn into an outrageous deception.

This is the case with Ista now, it's not that he doesn't want to marry Anna, if he can, he would have confessed to her already in college.

But now? How should he explain to her, tell her: I am the boss of the son of Keha? The murderer who raped a young girl out of hatred and killed her entire family? Just to make a woman happy, casually make a big promise? Or was it the goal of deceiving the brothers of the 33rd Army and leading them to mutiny? Or do you want to explain to her that she was able to be with him on the planet Cintari, and it was deliberately arranged by the lieutenant?

"A lie needs a hundred lies to cover up, and a hundred lies, how many lies do you need to hide?" It's a bit of a philosophical problem here, and there is no ending to it.

The adjutant just shook his head at this and said regretfully: "Murphy's Law: If you are worried about something happening, then it is more likely to happen." According to Murphy's Law, there is also a core: nothing is as simple as it seems. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Commander, you should know the path you are going to take in the future. And the Federation's killers won't give up, they will definitely do everything they can to kill you! I'm sure you should understand. They will stop at nothing, and Miss Mina is an example of this! ”

About Mina, Ista and the adjutant have spoken.

The lieutenant sends ghost agents to investigate, and discovers that Mina has been secretly taken away by the federal government for a while since Ista defected, especially after showing superpowers. After a period of time, he disappeared, and after he returned, he became what he is now.

So the adjutant probably came to the conclusion of a possibility: "Mina, maybe she has been controlled by the Federation or brainwashed, and it is possible that something has been done to her." Mina is definitely not the same person she used to be! ”

After receiving this report, Ishtar was heartbroken, and he couldn't say no to Mina, and the two of them made a good memory together during their time at Tesha Kawa.

"I don't want you to have any regrets, Commander!" The adjutant encouraged him: "Anna is a good girl, she is also very smart, I believe she will understand your troubles." And she's a girl, are you going to keep her waiting? ”

Esta understood what the adjutant meant, and smashed his mouth, and wanted to say something. However, he held back, and finally nodded affirmatively to the adjutant.
