Seeing the back of the blue-haired girl leaving, Nagisa was silent for a long time before he began to pack his things. His movements, however, were as mechanical and stiff as his eyes.

Catherine, who was in a coma many years ago, knew nothing about it, so she wouldn't understand the worry and fear in her heart. It was a secret buried deep in his soul, so well preserved that no one knew about it but himself and Saber.

He still vividly remembers the fallen leaves flying in the sky that day, as lifeless as the sunset in late autumn. The fallen leaves reflect the sunlight and weave into a dazzling golden yellow. And in his eyes, it was a suffocating red. As red as blood, poignant and gorgeous, and incomparably beautiful, but with a dead air thicker than fallen leaves, it swept over the world, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

So he had no choice but to draw his sword and keep slashing, in a vain attempt to tear a gap in the boundless blood. Someone was exclaiming, he couldn't hear it. Someone was crying, and he couldn't see it. Someone fell, died, and the soft, warm corpse tripped over him, in exchange for more desperate and harder killing, as if there was no tomorrow.

He wished it was a nightmare, because as long as it was a dream, whether good or bad, he would eventually wake up.

But no. That's memory, it's reality. It's the maggots of the tarsal bones that linger with him. Every time I think about it, it's like a serious illness, but when I face others, I have to force myself to heal.

His mind was simple: he didn't want to involve any innocent people until he found a proper solution. But now, Catherine laid some things in front of him bluntly, so that he suddenly knew that there were some things that he could not allow him to deal with after slowly solving the problem. What's more, the current war is imminent, if he really lets it go, who knows if he will regret it for the rest of his life if he has no time to tell the truth?

After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and decided to concentrate on dealing with the battle situation in front of him first, if the battle situation was stable, or, if there was a real chance, he would definitely show her his heart and not let himself go to the battlefield with regrets.

Having made up his mind, he put aside the distractions in his heart for the time being, and stepped up the speed of packing. After packing his things, he made a backup of the upgrade design drawings of many of the high-tech components that he had independently designed in the academy for nearly three years, just in case.

"Well, carry an electronic copy with you, and then keep a paper copy in the secret compartment of the cow high cockpit. Keep another backup in the body system of the cow height. If any backup is likely to be exposed, just destroy that one directly. After all this, Nagisa walked to the side of the bed and lay down on the bed, his hands folded under his head.

"It's finally time for war, and the tyrant Alcius is really speechless. If Catherine knew the reason for his war in the Middle Kingdoms, she would probably be so angry that she vomited blood. Thinking of this, Nagisa couldn't help but smile, "I wonder if the few dark chess pieces I planted in the empire can play a role?" Especially the one who just returned there, his task is more troublesome - well, well, don't think about it so much, it's almost time to assemble, put everything in the storage box, and get ready to go. ”

"Dididi-" At this moment, Nagisa's communicator rang. Nagisa took out the communicator and looked at it, it was a text message, and the sender column reads "Shouhe".

"This guy, Zhun Bao can't say anything good." Nagisa complained half-truthfully, clicking on the details, "Ha, sure enough-I really want to fight with you, I hope it's not on the battlefield." Live well, don't die. - Of all the people I know, only Shoutsuru can say such things. ”

He thought about it, and still replied to Shouhe: "You too." Good bye. ”

Holding back the sourness in his nose, Nagisa walked out of the dormitory and locked the door. Then he was surprised to find that the entire corridor was a busy scene. Both boys and girls are hurrying back and forth, retrieving their belongings from everywhere and getting ready to pack.

Whether you are disgusted with war or yearn for it, anyone who has entered the Dark Sanctuary Academy knows that it is inevitable that they will take this path—or, more accurately, every pilot, should have this awareness. The wheel of history mercilessly crushes the past into powder, whether it is a great man or a mortal, one day will die, will turn into a wisp of dust between heaven and earth, and the only way to survive is to leave a name in history.

Everyone who is in the torrent of the times cannot swim against the current. But it is also the many people who cannot swim against the current, forming a torrent of infinite power, roaring and washing everything, tearing everything apart, so that those in it have no choice. Either you will be crushed or you will dance.

As Shouhe said, it is impossible to reverse the trend of a country on its own. But who knows if they will be the most critical part of turning the tide of things?

"It seems that everyone is worried, and they are all going back to their respective countries as soon as possible - but also, they are already at war, and it would be the best result if they didn't fight here."

"Nagisa, this way!"

Tsubasa and Faeron were sitting on the benches on the edge of the dormitory, but they were sitting at opposite ends, far away from each other, each silently thinking about their own affairs, ignoring each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward. Therefore, Tsubasa saw Nagisa come out and hurriedly greeted him loudly.

Nagisa nodded, then walked over to the two with his luggage and sat between them.

"How? Ready to go? ”

Catherine glanced at Faren reluctantly: "Well, he and I are both freshmen, and we have just been here for less than a year, and we don't have much to get back." ”

"So your mechs are all tuned? I didn't have much time to rebuild my body on the way back this time. ”

"Well, Tongsheng returned my holy shield to me a week ago."

"Don't worry, my freedom just happened to have Tongsheng do a full check two days ago, and it's no problem at all. It's that your body is more seriously damaged, and this is a major repair, so it won't leave any hidden dangers, right? ”

"You're going to worry about me?" Nagisa glanced at him in surprise, "Hehe, it's so rare." ”

"I'm not worried about you......" Catherine gave him a blank look, "I'm afraid someone will be sad." ”

"Okay, don't worry, after Niu Gao's overhaul, I personally spent three days resetting all the parameters of Niu Gao from the system to all links, and tested all the weapons one by one."

"Three days ......" Tsubasa and Feron both gasped, obviously shocked by the amount of effort Nagisa had put into his body. Because the time spent on the maintenance of their own mechs is only twelve hours at most. Not to mention the average student who doesn't have a dedicated body.

"You don't have to be so surprised, do you?" Nagisa explained, "Mainly because my commissioning is so important that I'm so serious about it - it's to prepare for a big upgrade when we return home, so that we can start upgrading as soon as we get back to the Middle Kingdom, which can save a lot of time, which is very important in the war phase." The college is very well prepared in all aspects, and our ability in this area is still unmatched in our country. ”

"Okay, okay, when it comes to the body, you're energetic, it's like Tongsheng possessing the body." Catherine quickly interrupted him, "More than that, I want to know, when are we leaving?" ”

"Let's go to the cafeteria first, it's almost time for dinner." Nagisa half-jokingly, "It's going to take days on the road, and I won't have such a good meal after I set off." After eating, let's buy more compressed food and water and keep it for the road. ”

"Alas, I seem to have foreseen the hardships of the days that followed......"

The three of them walked into the college cafeteria together, and the person in charge of the cafeteria saw them and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Yo, Nagisa." Are you going back? It's a bit reluctant. ”

"yes, I don't know when we'll see you again." Nagisa smiled slightly, "However, if I have the chance, I will definitely come back." ”

"Ah, that's a deal. Let's go eat first. ”

Nagisa, Tsubasa and Feron each ordered their favorite meal and found an empty seat to sit down and feast. After eating without saying a word, they took photos in front of several characteristic and representative buildings of the academy, and then carried their luggage through the vast courtyard, pushed open the heavy door, and walked out of the dark academy.
