The next few days were peaceful. The mech that attacked Catherine and Feron was never seen again, and Pheron's tampering with the records was not hidden. Since he did not cause any actual damage, he was only kept in confinement for the duration of his stay, but his personal computer and body were also under strict surveillance.

"Task? What's that? In the dedicated classroom of the Abyss Knights, the members of the team looked at Nagisa, the captain who was giving them an explanation.

"Ahh Nagisa nodded, "That's literal." You don't think that the operation of this huge college can be maintained smoothly with our little tuition, do you? Nagisa stepped aside from the lectern as the screen on the wall behind him began to flicker, and lines of information appeared on the screen.

"The Dark Templar Academy has always accepted various commissions, which is somewhat similar to the mercenary organizations in the market." With Nagisa's introduction, the information on the screen is constantly changing, and it is generally an introduction to the task process.

"Hey, are we going to do this kind of thing?" Xingchen said, clearly reluctant in his tone.

"Of course, it's not mandatory." Nagisa made a downward gesture to signal not to interject, "Maybe you don't care, but there are quite a few people in the academy who rely on the remuneration for these tasks to pay for tuition and make ends meet. ”

"So what?" Catherine asked boredly.

"I know you want to hear the main points - first, the remuneration for these tasks is **** distribution, and the academy takes six; Second, these tasks are a plus for the final final evaluation; Third......" Nagisa narrowed his eyes and slowed down his speech, obviously the third point was the most important, "these missions will not directly intervene between the three powers. ”

"Won't intervene directly...... Catherine thought as she raised her arms to support her chin, "it always feels like a play on words." ”

"Actually, it's nothing." Nagisa waved his hand, as if to dispel Catherine's doubts, "To put it simply, we will not help any country to attack or defend against others, but our actions may have an impact on the situation. ”

"The butterfly effect?" Shirley understood Nagisa's meaning, and the Academy's actions would not be involved in the war, but it was likely to be the trigger for the war.

"To be honest, it is only a matter of time before the balance of the three major powers will be upset, and the impact of our actions can be said to be minimal." Nagisa glanced at the expressions on the faces of the three of them, "But I won't force you, it's up to you whether you accept the task or not, although this is a good opportunity to train you." ”

After Nagisa finished speaking, he walked towards the door without hesitation. As he was about to step out of the classroom, he stood with his back to Catherine and the three: "You can come to me whenever you want to accept a task - of course, all of you agree." With the sound of the mechanical door opening and closing, Nagisa left the Abyss Squad's classroom, leaving only the three of them thinking separately.

"So you mean?" Xingchen was lying in his dorm room, as if talking to the air, but from his vantage point, the green light of the private communication channel was flashing on the virtual screen.

"Ah, accept the task." The stars heard Wren's usual cold voice.

"But our plan ......" Xingchen frowned, clearly not understanding Wren's intentions.

"First, not accepting the task is easy to arouse suspicion; Two, the execution of the task will not only not hinder our plans, but may also help; As for the third ......" Wren sighed softly, "Although your strength is very strong, you are the only one among us Seraphs who has no actual combat experience. Believe me, many times, experience is more useful than ability. ”

"Well, well, since it's your judgment, I have nothing to say." Xingchen shrugged his shoulders, but suddenly asked in a cautious tone, "Did the guy who stopped you last time investigate?" ”

"Not yet. There is no file for that body in the academy's database, and of course, I don't have access to the core information. "Wren appears to have launched an investigation, but it is clear that little progress has been made.

"He's definitely going to be an obstacle to our plans." Xingchen bit the nail of his thumb and groaned, it was indeed a headache to be able to stop Wren's body.

"But this is also within my expectations, I wouldn't believe it if there weren't two masters in such a big academy." Wren accentuated his tone, "But, it took me a lot of thought to investigate here, how could I give up so easily." ”

"Okay, I'll just wait for news - it looks like I'm going to have to fight that body when the time comes." Xingchen seemed to have a hint of anticipation and excitement in his tone.

"So be it." With that, the communication was cut off from Wren's side.

Xingchen silently closed the virtual screen and opened the balcony window, the night breeze swaying his blue bangs.

"I didn't expect Tsubasa to have that identity." Pressed the bangs that were shaking in front of his eyes, but the pupils under the bangs revealed a chill, "Is it to kill?" Or do you want to be taken hostage? ”

"Sister Yi, have you decided?" Shirley was lying on the bed with a pillow in her arms, while Catherine was sitting in front of her personal computer checking something.

"To be honest, I'm not short of money, and I'm not very interested in graduation evaluations." Catherine said as she propped up her left hand to support her cheek, her right hand still operating on the screen, "But these tasks do have a workout effect, and some of them are even quite difficult. So, what do you think, Shirley? Catherine turned her chair towards the girl with short orange hair.

"Well...... In fact, I think it's rare to have such a good dormitory, and I don't want to sacrifice my precious rest time. Shirley obviously had something to say, and her shaking feet stopped, "But our Abyss Squad is the number one ace team, and if we don't accept the mission, we always feel like we will be looked down upon by others."

"So......" Catherine was about to say something when a red light flashed on the screen of her personal computer, "a communication request?" Come from...... Pheren? Catherine frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the Pheren gourd.

But thinking that Feron couldn't play any tricks across the screen, Catherine answered the communication request, and the moment the red light turned into a green light, Pheren's face appeared on the screen.

"Long time no see, Faerun." Catherine said in an indifferent tone a polite word that was not a greeting.

"It's just two days of confinement." Pheren didn't care about Catherine's attitude.

"So, what's the matter?" Catherine asked straight to the point.

"I've heard that your team is having a meeting about the Academy's mission." Pheren also didn't mean to go around in circles.

"It's very well-informed, what do you want to say?"

"After all, you are the first team among the freshmen, and there are many people who care about your first mission." Feren said, a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, "However, after the last attack, I think it's better for you to obediently hide in the academy and accept protection." ”

"What did you say?!" In the face of Faeron's provocation, Catherine said angrily in a low voice. Even after the last time they fought side by side, their relationship does not seem to show any signs of easing.

"Anyway, I'm going to start accepting the mission tomorrow." Pheren didn't seem to take Catherine's anger lightly, "I don't want to be slaughtered like a fish anymore." ”

"You're going to accept a mission?"

"yes, by the way, I'm on an S-class mission." Pheren's words seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke Catherine. Catherine had just checked the profile and knew that this was the second highest level of mission after the EX class, "Good night, then. After speaking, Fei Lun directly reached out and cut off the communication.

The dormitory was quiet again, and only the cacophony of communication cuts reminded Catherine of the tense exchange that had just begun.

"Treat me like a useless vase, bastard......" Catherine clenched her fists on the table.

"Sister Wing......" Shirley wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

"What a joke! How could I possibly lose to that kind of stupidity? Catherine scrambled to her feet, put on her uniform and walked out.

"Sister Yi, where are you going?" Shirley looked at Catherine who was about to go out, "It's so late......"

"Go check my body." Catherine opened the door to the dormitory and said word by word, "Also, Abyss Knight Squad, we will accept the mission tomorrow!" The door to the dormitory closed as Catherine's words fell, and Shirley was stunned for a few seconds when she heard Catherine's words, then shook her little head and sighed.

"Who is the captain of our team......
