Volume I, Chapter Twenty-Eight: Freshman Training Camp

September 2, 1696, the second day of the opening of the Imperial War College.

At six o'clock in the morning, Mick and four other classmates stood on the campus of the Senior Operations Command Department on time. The entire school field is actually a giant magic array, which can simulate a variety of enemies and help students become familiar with the cruel battlefield as soon as possible.

Of course, the cost of using such a magic array is naturally extremely high, and the cost of each use can range from hundreds of gold coins to tens of thousands of gold coins, and only the War College built with the power of the entire empire would be so extravagant.

It was the first time for Mick and the others to enter such a large-scale magic array training, and everyone's faces were full of anticipation, but their good mood only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

Because, there was a little old man with an extremely obscene face standing opposite several people, shaking his head incessantly.

This little old man is the legendary instructor, he is less than 1.7 meters tall, he is so skinny that it looks like a gust of wind can blow him down.

Mick and the others didn't say anything, but they were worried about their future, and they didn't know if they would be blown away by a gust of wind after three years of training under the whip of this instructor.

In particular, the white bear Baier, who was born as a combat hero, has been influenced by the concept of respecting the strong of the imperial army for a long time, and he is especially unaccustomed to looking down on the indiscriminate guys, and the thick disdain has been clearly written on his face.

"I said, why did this year's freshmen drop another notch? Look at you are as weak as a group of rookies, even if you work hard for four years, you are only stronger rookies. ”

The little old man sat on the ground with a straw in his mouth, and complained very indifferently. He looked at a few people as if he were looking at a pile of dirty, smelly garbage.

"Sir, there is a saying in our legion, there are only generals who can't support the wall in the mud, and there are no soldiers who can't be brought out. White Bear Baier couldn't help but interject.

"Oh?" the little old man was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You seem to be very unconvinced?"

"Yes!"

"Louder!"

"Yes, sir, I'll have to show my hands when I'm leading the troops to convince those little cubs!" yelled Bair.

The little old man laughed sheepishly: "So you want my old man to show his hands?"

"Yes, sir!"

The old man patted the white bear's strong arm, he wanted to pat the white bear on the shoulder, but the guy was too tall for the old man to touch his arm.

"You're very strong, your strength has reached level four, so you think you're very powerful?"

"I don't dare to say that it is powerful, sir, but I am here for further study, and I don't want to waste time with the weak. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Okay, how about we punch each other and see who can't get up first?"

Baier frowned and said, "Sir, I don't think it's possible to take my punch with your current physical condition, I don't want to make trouble." ”

The old man sneered and said, "Then you can still stand up after taking my punch, even if I lose." ”

Bayer's face changed: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" replied the old man calmly.

Beyer, however, felt that he had been slighted like never before. He was famous for his natural divine power, even the masters in the legion didn't dare to say that they would knock him down with a punch, and the old man in front of him actually spoke wildly, which made him very uncomfortable.

However, being recommended by the Flower Language Legion to the Advanced Operational Command Department for further study, Bayer is naturally not a guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He understood that since the old man dared to put forward such a condition, he naturally relied on it.

Before the old man threw his punch, he let out all his fighting energy and was ready to go all out.

The old man watched quietly as Bayer prepared, and there was no change in his furrowed face. When the white bear Baier nodded and signaled that the preparations were complete, the old man walked slowly and methodically to Baier, used all his strength, and punched Baier.

The old man's punch was not fancy, nor did it carry any fighting spirit, the speed was so-so, and it didn't seem to be too powerful.

Baier sneered, his hands covered his chest, and the milky white fighting spirit easily blocked the old man's fist, which was so powerful that it couldn't even send ripples out of the fighting energy.

"That's the end of it?"

There were no explosions, no vindictive collisions, not even any hot scenes? They originally thought that since the little old man could make such a proposal, he must be a hidden master, and he would definitely be domineering under one punch, so that the white bear Baier would lose convincingly, and he would bow his head from then on.

Unexpectedly, the old man's punch was easily blocked by Bayer.

Mick was also dumbfounded, but he was surprised not only by the result, but also by the process. Under the eye of insight, every little action of the old man could not escape his eyes.

The old man's punch was indeed substandard, but White Bear Baier also felt uncomfortable at the moment.

"You are cheating......" Sure enough, Bayer, who seemed to be unusual, suddenly gritted his teeth and howled angrily, and fell to the ground.

Daniel and the others exclaimed in surprise and looked at each other.

Only Mick saw clearly, although the old man's punch was indeed weak, not to mention Byer, even Mick himself could easily block it, but the moment his fist touched Byer, the ring on his fist suddenly cast a third-level magic pain technique, silently making Bayer land.

Now Bayer, let alone stand up, can open his mouth and say the words "you cheat", which is enough to prove his strength.

"Soldiers don't get tired of deceit, kid...... You're a student of the Advanced Operational Command Department, not the Infantry Operations Department, so you have to use your brains before making any decisions. ”

The old man pointed to his head and grinned.

It wasn't until this moment that Mick suddenly reacted, and the old man had thought about the current drama from the beginning, he seemed to be pressed by Bayer step by step, but in fact, he had fully studied the personalities of Bayer, and predicted in advance the different reactions of several people when they saw him, and then took advantage of the situation, and used words to draw Bayer step by step closer to the trap he had set, and he came out of this big foreign appearance.

"Children, in this world, the greatest power often comes not from the flesh, but from your intelligence, and as a commander, a battle hero like Bair is not qualified. ”

The old man took the opportunity to start teaching a few students.

In addition to Mick, Daniel, Bruno, and Elizabeth also gradually understood, showing a thoughtful look, and Mick was shocked when he saw this.

Knowing that none of them have the sharp cheat of the Eye of Insight, and being able to understand what is going on so quickly shows that their minds are indeed very terrifying.

Mick couldn't help but pay more attention to the few classmates around him, and at the same time, a certain idea in his heart became more and more determined.

"Okay, this is your first lesson in school, in the future you will face all kinds of scheming and conspiracy, I will make you cry, enjoy it! Now start the five-kilometer cross-country, if anyone falls last, stay and have breakfast with me!"

The old man said, and smiled at Elizabeth, "You have to work hard, little girl, although I love to have breakfast with beautiful women, I have to warn you that my mad dog Anderson's breakfast is not so delicious." ”

Elizabeth snorted expressionlessly, flicked her long hair back, and was the first to rush onto the runway. Seeing this, Daniel and Bruno followed, neither of them wanting to try Instructor Anderson's insidious breakfast.

Mick naturally didn't want to be a guinea pig, but just as he was about to run, Instructor Anderson suddenly approached him and whispered, "Boy, you were the first to react today, well done." ”

Mick was just about to be humble, when he suddenly heard Instructor Anderson say, "But I don't like guys who are too smart, so you can run an extra kilometer, and if you finish last, stay and have breakfast with me!"

Mick was stunned and immediately rushed onto the runway.
