Chapter Seventy-One: The General's Sword

The girl in a crisp ponytail looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five degree angle with her hands empty, enjoying a moment of tranquility. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The silence was disturbed by the sound of a cane hitting the ground, and then the voice of Instructor Chandler came from behind him.

"Shan Yun, we're going to start the formal class soon, haven't you thought about it yet?"

"It's not that I didn't think about it, it's that I didn't think about it at all." Shan Yun didn't reply, "Training physical fitness is barely acceptable, but why learn to use these weapons?" We are the Awakened, and our superpowers are our most powerful weapons. ā€

Shan Yun's attitude did not anger the kind old man, and Instructor Chandler only said that everything made sense, and without much explanation, he turned and walked to a corner of the equipment depot, and returned without a cane, carrying a sophisticated device in both hands.

"It's a solo flying device, and I think it's a good fit for you." Instructor Chandler put the flying device in front of Shan Yun, "I remember that your superpower is to produce an explosion from yourself, which is not small, but it is very weak, because it is difficult for you to get close to the enemy on the battlefield and have the opportunity to self-detonate, even if you successfully cut into the position, you will immediately fall into a siege." With this one-soldier flying device, you'll be able to easily cut through enemy forces and quickly get out of the battlefield after wreathing...... Judging from your previous abilities, since the explosion you generated did not destroy your clothes, it should not destroy this flying device. ā€

"Oh?" Shan Yun finally became interested, and looked up and down at the solo flying device in front of him, his eyes shining.

"The device is still in the experimental stage, but the first test flight was a success, and the pilot relied on the device to fly to an altitude of more than 8,000 meters and successfully intercept a United airliner." Instructor Chandler continued, "At present, there is still room for improvement in maneuverability, the only flaw is the lack of endurance, I believe that as long as you wait a little longer, better works will be developed, and until then, you can use this experimental prototype first." ā€

The more Shan Yun listened, the more satisfied he became, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he shouted with a smile: "Thank you, instructor!" ā€

"You're welcome." Instructor Chandler smiled back and turned to leave, walking over to the last cadet.

Yang Dong heard the footsteps of Instructor Chandler, but he didn't look back, still lowered his head, thoughtfully, and when Instructor Chandler walked to Yang Dong's side, Yang Dong rushed in front of him and asked, "We are not only preparing for war, but also preparing for the infiltration mission, right, instructor?" ā€

Instructor Chandler stopped, stood beside Yang Dong, shoulder to shoulder, stared at Yang Dong's side face, and did not speak.

"As an Awakened One, there is really no need to learn the use of ordinary weapons. The reason why we are learning to use these weapons is not only to improve our combat effectiveness, but also to give us a camouflage that gives us the ability to blend in with the soldiers of the army, well, like the UN peacekeeping forces, for infiltration missions, right? Our enemies will be mutants, or other monsters, or...... The Awakened of other factions, is that so? ā€

"You're such a smart kid." Instructor Chandler sighed, "Let me see your options? ā€

Yang Dong turned his wrist, he was holding a rectangular wooden gift box in his hand, and there was a delicate and gorgeous revolver in the gift box, the model was an old antique, but it could be seen from the beautiful ivory handle that this revolver was worth a lot of money.

"Oh?" Instructor Chandler raised his eyebrows, his surprised expression for the first time, "Do you know the story of this gun?" ā€

"Yes, I've heard of it." Yang Dong nodded and replied, "This is a gift from the soldiers raised funds to the general after the end of the Civil War in the American Federation, and there are six gold-plated bullets in the chamber, symbolizing the end of the country's six-year gunpowder smoke and chaos." ā€

"That's right, this gun has a special meaning. However, it is very powerful, so why would you choose a weapon that is not very lethal? Facing Yang Dong, Instructor Chandler, who always gave answers, was uncharacteristically and began to ask questions with interest.

"Because it's the general's gun." Yang Dong raised his head and raised his chin proudly, "My ability is not suitable for going to the front line and going to the battlefield, but as long as I can make good use of my ability, I can strategize, within the chaotic battle, and win thousands of miles away." I should be the ruler of war, the ruler who gives orders, not a soldier who obeys orders. So I don't think I'm wrong with my choice. Instructor, do you know why the generals and emperors of ancient China were equipped with swords? ā€

"I want to hear about it."

"I think so. The sword was the earliest stabbing weapon that appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, and was quickly eliminated by the army in the subsequent wars, because its lethality and use were far inferior to knives, spears, spears, axes, ? Yue, halberd, but the sword has become the favorite of the emperor general, not only because it has a history of origin, but also because it has a unique meaning, double-edged sword, can hurt the enemy, can hurt yourself, maybe there are other reasons, so that the sword from the weapon to the most sought after wearer, the reason why the emperor and the general chose it as a weapon is also very simple, because the emperor does not need to go into battle to kill the enemy, when the emperor needs to pull out his weapon to fight in person, he has completely lost the war, so the emperor does not need a powerful weapon. In the same way, I don't need a powerful weapon, because my mind and ability are my strongest weapons, and when I need to fight with the help of foreign objects on the battlefield, I have already lost that battle. ā€

Yang Dong said such arrogant words in a calm and indifferent tone, which made Instructor Chandler shake his head and laugh.

"Child, when you can only make one chess piece, the only thing you should think about is how to make yourself more useful, because valuable chess pieces will not be easily given up. Otherwise, you will never be able to jump off the board and go from a piece to a player of your imagination. As for what you just said, it's not something you should think about, and don't think about it again. Listen to me and put down the gun in your hand. ā€

After listening to Instructor Chandler's teachings, Yang Dong recalled his mother who was lonely and miserable in Shangjing, recalled his life of forbearance for more than ten years in front of him, recalled his vision for the future and the promise he made to himself in countless nights, and did not put down the revolver in his hand according to Instructor Chandler's words, but lifted it up, holding the handle of the ivory tightly, the heat of the palm of his hand was in stark contrast to the cold ivory.

The big screen in the teaching and research office of the Super Energy Academy is broadcasting the conversation between Yang Dong and Chandler in real time, with President Wu sitting in the first seat, and the rest of the instructors and instructors standing on both sides with different expressions.

"Heh, crazy enough." Counselor Li smiled.

"It seems that the lesson given in the morning was not enough." The senior instructor had a cold face and a murderous awe.

"Targeted psychoeducation should be carried out and guided." An instructor suggested.

In the midst of the discussion, President Wu made a decision.

"Schedule the next test in the evening and see how they perform."
