Goode didn't know how he got back into his temporary quarter.

When I arrived at the door, it was almost dusk, and people who had been busy all day were returning to their residences one after another, and the smoke and shouting of cooking were wafting everywhere, and the aftertaste of porridge and sweat were mixed together, highlighting the busyness of this place. Although there is endless work to be done every day, everyone's expressions are full of vitality, and it does not look like a settlement of outsiders at all.

And what gives them vitality is hope - if they are busy for one day, they can fill their stomachs for several days, and if they are busy for ten days and half a month, they can add two eggs or a slice of meat steak to the bowl, so people naturally have the expectation that if they are busy for a year and a half, what will become of themselves? With this hope, everyone's voice is much louder, and although the temporary settlement is dirty and noisy, it is not as gloomy and gloomy as that of the slums.

Everything here is in color.

Except for Goode.

The more he looked at his neighbor's smiles, the more dizzy he felt, and a voice in his heart kept echoing—"Look what you've done, idiot, you've ruined everything you've earned so hard!"

That's right, if he didn't shout out that voice and accept the punishment honestly, he would still be a member of the Sky Knight Academy. Even if you don't become a driver, it's a good job, at least it's much better than continuing to be a homeless person.

Obviously, he answered without hesitation at that time, but when Her Royal Highness the princess really agreed, that courage receded like a tide, and all that was replaced by a weak heart and fear.

If he fails, he really has nothing.

Goode pushed open the door and stepped inside, a little distracted.

A crisp voice rang out, "Goode, you're back, look what I've done!"

Rachel happily ran to him, pushed him to the table and pressed him, then uncovered the porcelain basin that covered the plate, "Dangdangdang - egg pancakes, how's that?"

The eggs and wheat cakes on the plate are divided into two layers, and they are more like fried eggs on top of the wheat cakes than egg pancakes. However, it was not a failure, the egg whites were thinly spread, surrounded by a circle of charred curls, and the orange core was slightly raised, still maintaining the smoothness of the unset. Sandwiched between the two, the butter that melts completely out of the gap and drips into the plate with an enticing aroma.

Apparently Rachel put a lot of effort into this dinner.

Goode was stunned, "You bought eggs?" Although the price of Neverwinter is not high, it is still not a common dish for them.

"Well," Rachel handed him the fork, "I went to the convenience market with Uncle Buggy today." Don't worry, I still have the savings I brought out, and you rarely have a day off, so it's okay to eat once in a while. Besides, if you become an official Sky Knight, your savings will rise back quickly, but I know it!" she patted her chest.

Goode stiffly took the fork and said...... That's right. ”

"Don't say anything, let's try my craft first. Rachel said expectantly.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly forked the soft egg into his mouth, and in an instant, the egg core gushed out, blending with the mellow flavor of butter, instantly filling his entire mouth.

And this delicacy also hit the deepest part of his heart.

Fleeing all the way from the wolf's heart to the west of the Grey Castle, the two of them can be said to have suffered enough, and they can't even think of food like this. But after arriving in Neverwinter, things miraculously improved, not only did his residence stabilize, but he also had a worry-free life, and even Rachel might be able to eat one of the "egg pancakes" he ate every day, instead of sitting and watching him eat - as long as he stayed at the academy.

It's true that he desperately wants to take to the skies, but is it really worth it to block everything up?

I used to have nothing to lose, but now it's different.

I said that I would take care of her.

In that case, why did he make such a choice because of his own selfish thoughts?

Even promised Finkin to take a peek at the plane, because he only thought about himself.

It's disgusting that such a selfish person is now eating the food made by the other party's heart, isn't it!

"How's that, it should ...... It's been a long time since I've done anything like this, and I don't know if my craft has regressed. Rachel pointed at each other and said, "Hey, if it's okay, you can say something...... Wait, why are you crying? Am I doing this badly?"

"No......" Goode was in tears as he stuffed something into his mouth, "It's delicious, you've made it so delicious, I'm just ...... I just couldn't help ......"

Rachel was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked over to him, reached out and pressed his head and asked softly, "Did something happen?"

"I'm sorry...... There's a chance I won't be able to stay in the academy any longer......"

In fits and starts, Goode said what he had done.

"I see," Rachel said after a long silence until he had subsided, "I just want to ask you one question. You...... Do you like flying?"

"I-" Goode opened his mouth, and under the stares of the other man, he realized that he could not say anything against his will, and nodded after a long time.

"That's fine. Rachel laughed, "Growing up, this is the first time you've had something you want to do, right? Whether it's in the heart of a wolf or on the way to escape, you have done a lot for me, and these should have nothing to do with you, how can you be a selfish guy who can do this?"

"But I ......"

"The worst outcome is to start from scratch, right?" she said, tilting her head, "and I'm literate, even if I don't do it...... You can find a lot of work in those things. So whether you succeed or not, just do your best. ”

"That's ...... Is it really possible?"

"It's too late to regret it anyway, it's better to cut off other thoughts and focus on it. Of course, it's better to think twice about this kind of thing next time, and don't get hot-headed anymore. ”

Goode looked at her for a moment, "I think sometimes, you know a lot more than I do. ”

"Age is not equal to knowledge, you have to make me my sister. Rachel muttered, then smiled, "If you're expelled from the academy, just call me sister." ”

......

The next day, the Air Knight Flight Field.

Sixteen reserve members lined up at the end of the runway – and as the first batch of qualified candidates, they will also be the first to take a test flight.

Four brand-new planes slowly slid out of the hangar and stopped in front of everyone.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked at the four beautiful cars with great interest, and their ears were filled with excitement.

Finkin and Hinds had a sad face.

Goode closed his eyes.

Feeling the cool morning breeze blowing in his face, he tried to grasp the feeling in his mind—the day after day of training, the instructor's teaching, and the moment he grasped the grip of the real machine, several images kept turning and gradually indistinguishing from each other.

When Tilly appeared in front of the group, everyone fell to one knee, and Finjin gave Goode a hand.

"Meet Her Highness the Princess!"

"Get up," Tilly swept over the crowd with a blank expression, "It's the first time you've seen these planes, but they're far from unfamiliar. Whether it is the illustration of the textbook or the principle learning, they are all formulated based on the Unicorn, and they are the optimized version of the Unicorn, which is more stable in terms of performance. As long as you follow the steps of the training, you can basically complete the simplest flight. But considering that this is your first time in the sky, I will fly near the driver's seat as an instructor, reminding you step by step what to do and scoring you according to your performance - of course, being able to keep me from saying nothing is undoubtedly the best performance. ”

She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I can't rule out that such a simple operation can also cause people to make mistakes, make mistakes, and even lead to falling, so I specially brought in Miss Nanawa - she is now in the airfield, and as long as she doesn't die immediately, the loser can survive." It's just that it also means that your score will be greatly reduced. If you can't improve in the future, you will be eliminated from the team, so I hope you will do your best and do your best. Also, if there is a serious mistake that causes the plane to be damaged, the score will be directly zeroed, after all, the academy doesn't have that many planes for you to waste, understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" said sixteen in unison.

"So let's get started, first test pilot, Goode. Tilly said in a deep voice.

Goode took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and climbed into the cockpit with the wings. 8)
