Chapter 62: The End of the Rice Worm
From the day the Knight X project was announced, the atmosphere of the entire God of War Academy's mecha department was different from before. Although it seems that the students are still attending classes and training as usual, the competition and competition in private have never stopped. Not only civilian students like Qiao Yu, but even aristocratic students don't dare to slack off now, they have all been notified by their families that they must join the student training program launched by the imperial government, after all, these noble bigwigs have their own channels to get news. His Majesty the Emperor personally convened a meeting to set the tone, how dare the people below not be dedicated, and how could they not invest huge resources.
Moreover, the propaganda machine of the empire is also running at full strength, and it is obviously impossible to cover up a big defeat, but how to talk about it, that is, it can be paid attention to ways and means. For example, in ancient times, there was such an allusion as repeated defeats and repeated defeats, and now propaganda agencies naturally play this hand to perfection. As long as you focus on how heroic the First Fleet and the First Brigade of the Star Knights were, and how ferocious and cunning the enemy was, you can downplay this defeat. In particular, by shaping the 1st Brigade of the Star Knights into a team of heroes, and shifting the attention of the people to the heroic units that have been established, the people will naturally ignore the fact that the Empire has actually suffered a fiasco.
Since the empire, from His Majesty the Emperor Lin Tiantian down to the common people, all attach importance to the reconstruction work of the First Brigade, then the relevant government departments and the God of War Academy will definitely invest a lot of energy and resources in this plan as long as they are not fools, so as not to be criticized.
Therefore, in the God of War Academy, although after the third-year students returned to school, they were concentrated in the first brigade military base near the academy to participate in the selection, but the first- and second-year students still made the entire mecha department very lively. The trainees who don't need the simulation cabin for the time being, and they don't want to be idle, and the training venues of various clubs and schools are full of mecha students sweating like rain. If you can't practice mecha, you can train your body! That's what many students think. After a period of time, this enthusiasm for training not only did not fade, but with the arrival of exchange students from other schools, it went to a higher level. Principal Aaron was very satisfied with the momentum generated by this healthy competition, and he certainly believed that the students of his own school would not lose out to the exchange students of other institutions. If in the future, the Knight X plan begins to officially select people, and the students of the God of War Academy are squeezed out of a large number of places by exchange students from other schools, I am afraid that Principal Aaron will be angry with his beard.
But it is said that since the announcement of the Knight X plan, everyone has been engaged in training and self-improvement, and Qiao Yu is naturally no exception. In fact, it turned out that Qiao Yu had already worked quite hard, even among the civilian students, there were almost no people like him who devoted almost all of his spare time to study and training. Qiao Yu's original day arrangement, in addition to classes, also had to work, the rest of the time, was to go to the fighting club or the archery club to participate in club training activities, if the club did not arrange, he might go to the simulation cabin training room to practice for himself. Lin Fan, as his roommate, the man known as the rice worm of the Hetland family, was driven by this terrible energy, and he was unconsciously diligent. Even after a period of time, Lin Fan realized that something was wrong, it was so easy for him to leave the family and live the free life he longed for, why did he unconsciously go to training?
So after Lin Fan realized his mistake, he immediately began to have a short communication with Qiao Yu, "Qiao, do you know? You have deeply hurt your closest comrades-in-arms, your friendliest roommates, your best friends. ”
Qiao Yu, who had just returned from a part-time job at Xia's Gourmet Restaurant, looked surprised, "What? Lin Fan? You say I hurt you? ”
"Yes, Joe." Lin Fan put on a rather serious expression, "Come to think of it, your behavior all the time has caused me considerable trouble. ”
Qiao Yu carefully recalled his various behaviors with Lin Fan since the beginning of school, but it was obvious that he had not found that one of his behaviors would have any serious impact on this roommate.
"Well, Lin Fan, you better say it directly, I really can't think of anything about me affecting you. If you say yes, I'll correct it. ”
"Good attitude, man, think about it, my son Hetland left the family so easily and lived a free life, but just because you, your roommate, exercised every day, and my busy feet didn't touch the ground, and I didn't want to be idle all the time, so I couldn't help but get busy!" Lin Fan complained.
Qiao Yu's face was black, he thought that something really affected this friend who had a good relationship, so he was quite serious and ready to listen to Lin Fan's suggestion, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing.
Qiao Yu raised his middle finger without hesitation, "Go and go, I've just gotten off work, I'm tired." Don't make a fuss. So saying, he went back to his room without looking back.
"Eh, Joe, Joe! Don't go! ”
However, on the second day of this conversation, Principal Aaron gave a speech to the mecha students of the whole school about the Knight X project, so Lin Fan had to give up the life of the rice worm. As for why, of course, it was the old man of his family who communicated and gave a death order, he must join this Knight X plan, saying that this plan is a fast track to the official Star Knight, if Lin Fan can't successfully join this plan, don't go home.
In fact, to be honest, if Lin Fan was asked not to go home, he was afraid that he would happily accept it. But of course, this kind of thing can't be known to the old man of his family, and since the old man has opened his mouth, if Lin Fan really didn't join this Knight X plan because of laziness, then the old man of his family will naturally have all kinds of ways to concoct his lazy son.
Therefore, after receiving that communication, Lin Fan really couldn't continue to be lazy, he had to be like Qiao Yu, reluctantly participating in various training activities, and often went to the training ground to exercise. And because Qiao Yu and Lin Fan's clubs are not exactly the same, and Qiao Yu still has part-time work to do, so although the two are roommates, in addition to classes, the time to meet is getting less and less, Qiao Yu is also glad that he finally doesn't have to hear Lin Fan's complaints all the time, but he doesn't know that Lin Fan has long forgotten to complain about that thing now, but has also devoted himself to the preparatory activities for joining the Knight X plan.
However, such busy and uneventful days did not last long, because the training base is said to have preliminary results for the selection of reserve knights, and the next step is to select the participants of the Knight X program for junior students and exchange students.
