Chapter 220: Cold War 3
Everyone in the hall raised their heads and looked expectantly at the litatory floating high above, but one of the elven boys with short dark blue hair and gray-blue eyes was a little different, compared to the others, he seemed to be very nervous, and even involuntarily gnawed his fingers and shook his legs.
Soon, the podium above finally changed, and I saw several male elves in blue and white uniforms standing on the podium with serious faces, and their appearance instantly made the entire hall instantly silent.
In everyone's anticipation, the elf on the podium finally spoke: "Ahem, welcome to the announcement of the results of this year's Trainee Police Examination, and now I will start to announce the results."
After that, the big screen next to the podium changed, and a table full of names suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and the results were marked after each name.
Only those who have passed all the projects can pass this assessment, but even if they pass, it does not mean that they will be admitted, because the number of internship places is limited, so only the top few grades in the ranking will be given priority for admission.
Of course, there are excellent and qualified on a list, and naturally there are unqualified, and Ziegfried, who has always been a little nervous, began to look for his name on the list of results the moment it was announced, and as expected, he found his name again at the bottom of the list.
Siegfried – Unqualified
「!!」
The three big red characters were like a bolt from the blue to Qi Gefei, and he instantly fell face down like a deflated ball.
But soon the scene shifted from the hall to Siegfried's home, his room to be exact, and then he was planted on his bed.
"Bang—"
Just as Siegfried fell into a very depressed state, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, but before Siegfried could respond, a beautiful woman had already pushed open the door and walked in.
She seemed to be in a good mood, and when she saw Siegfried, she smiled and said, "Oh, good son, you're back, how are the results of this assessment, have you passed?"
That's right, this beautiful woman is Siegfried's mother, and she is also the wife of the current director of the Space-Time Authority, Benise
Hearing this, Siegfried, who was already deeply hit by the unqualified results, suddenly became even more depressed, his face was buried deep in the quilt, and even his answer turned into an unclear murmur.
"Uh-huh~"
As a mother, even if she can't understand Siegfried's state, she can know that the result is not good, and she can't help but feel a little pity for this, and subconsciously said, "Oops, it looks like this hasn't happened again~"
But her unintentional words were like a knife stabbed into his heart for Siegfried, making him even more sad
And Benice saw that her son's mood was getting worse, so she immediately changed the topic and hurriedly comforted, "Ahaha, oops, it's just an exam, don't take it too seriously, if you haven't passed, you haven't passed, won't there be a next time if you can't do it this time, my son must be okay if he's so good..."
At this time, Siegfried suddenly said, "12 times—"
The tone was so flat that it was as if she had given up struggling, and because of this, Benice didn't hear clearly, so she subconsciously asked a question.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Siegfried raised his face buried in the quilt and said to his mother with a desire to cry without tears, "This is the twelfth time, and I have already taken the exam twelve times in a row!" And I haven't passed it once!!"
Hearing this, Benise was surprised, "Oh my God, has it been twelve times!?"
And her exclamation immediately made Siegfried, who was on the verge of collapse, completely collapse, and the tears jumped out as if he didn't want money, and even said while crying
"I, am I finished, as the son of the director of the Time and Space Management Bureau, not to mention the failure of the trainee police officer assessment, and the last place to return, the people who took the exam with me are now laughing at me for being the tail of the crane, and I am a waste! Woo~"
seashell
Ness had never seen such a battle, and immediately leaned over and hugged Siegfried and comforted him, "Oh, how can my precious son be a waste! What kind of crane tail, those are all nonsense from people who are jealous of you, ah, okay, okay, let's not cry, don't cry!"
As she spoke, Bernice took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears for Siegfried, and when the tears were gone, he put them on his nose to wake him up.
"Alright, alright, stop crying, you're a boy, what do you cry like all the time?"
"I'm sorry, Mom, I don't want to, but I can't help but feel like crying, I feel like my future is just a dark one, Mom, what the hell should I do?"
"Oh, this, that—" Siegfried's question was too difficult for Bernice to do, and she really didn't know what to do.
"Are you going to give up?"
Just when Bennice was embarrassed, an unfamiliar voice suddenly attracted the attention of the mother and son, at this time, a tall and handsome male elf stood at the door of Siegfried's room and looked at the mother and son, and this man also had short dark blue hair, and was similar to Siegfried in appearance.
"Oops, Lance!?" Seeing the appearance of the person who came, Bennice looked a little surprised
"Why did you come back at this time, don't you usually work in the bureau at this time?"
That's right, it's Bennie's husband, Siegfried's father, and the current director of the Temporal Authority, Lance
As the name suggests, the Time and Space Administration is a special department dedicated to the control of time and space, since the rapid development of the elven technology, soon the greatest invention in the universe time machine came out, the magic of this machine is that it can take people to travel at any time and place, and its appearance instantly changed the pattern of the entire universe, and made the elves one of the six most powerful races.
Although its function is very powerful, but it also brings a lot of hidden dangers, it can allow people to travel to any time and place, which means that anyone can change history through the time machine, once the time machine is mastered by the outlaws, the aftermath is endless, not only will time and space be disordered, but even the order that has been established in the universe will collapse.
The Time and Space Administration is a special department established to prevent the above situations from happening, and all time machines are under its jurisdiction, and any behavior that wants to travel through time and space must also be reported, and it can only be carried out if it is passed, otherwise it will be an illegal act and will be pursued by the Time and Space Administration at that time.
Therefore, this department is also a law enforcement department specifically aimed at space-time criminals, and because the time machine was invented by elves, it was also managed by elves in the early days of its establishment, and most of the internal members were all elves, and it was not until later that other races were gradually introduced.
As the current director of the Time and Space Administration, Lance is very good and outstanding in terms of ability, appearance, and temperament, but he often feels a headache about his son's situation.
I saw him stride into the room with a straight face, and explained in a flat tone, "Today is the day of the results, I came back specially for the internship assessment, Ah Fei, I think we need to talk about this matter."
As soon as he mentioned the internship assessment, Siegfried's mood instantly became sluggish again, and he didn't even dare to look his father in the eyes, and lowered his head
"I didn't do it again this time, I'm sorry to disgrace you......
'It's over, this time my father must be angry with me, woo, I'm going to be scolded!
But what Siegfried didn't expect was that his father didn't scold him as he imagined, but sighed and said, "Ha~ As for whether you embarrass me, put it aside in advance, I didn't come to you to scold you, you better answer the question I just asked first, do you want to give up?" Give up what you've been trying to pursue."
"I..."
"Do you know, Ah Fei, although you are my son, I never asked you to inherit your father's business, but you still choose to become a time and space patrol officer, remember what the reason is?"
Siegfried hesitated and said, "I... When I was a child, I wanted to be a Time Patrol because I admired my father, but then I was because...
」
At this time, a childhood memory suddenly appeared in Siegfried's mind, it was someone talking to him, but the image was quickly fleeting
"It's because ...... Later, I only worked hard for this because I wanted to become a Time Patrolman, I, I don't want to give up, but with my ability, can I really do it?"
Twelve failed exams had left Siegfried in deep self-doubt.
But at this time, Lance said, "Let's not talk about your assessment results, let's talk about your assessment performance, although because of the kinship between you and me, I have avoided the exams you participated in, but in fact, I have seen the video of each of your assessments in private, to be honest, in my opinion, your ability is enough, and the reason why you fail in the assessment again and again is because you have a fatal weakness, I believe you know in your own heart that if you don't overcome it, then no matter how many times you take the assessment in the future, there will be no results."
"Hey, Lance!"
Hearing her husband's words so direct, Benice couldn't help but remind her, but Lance raised her hand to Benice to show that she was measured.
After listening to Lance's words, Siegfried on the side saw him look up with some confusion and asked, "Father means that he wants me to solve my own problems first, and then think about the internship assessment?"
Lance nodded in affirmation, "Yes, but if you rely only on your own efforts, I think it will be a little difficult, so I heard that your sister is now helping your uncle in a small place called Earth, I will send you to her to exercise for a while, I believe that if it is her, she will definitely be able to help you."
"Hey!! Sister, sister!?" Hearing this, Siegfried was even more surprised.
But Benice was a little surprised, "Ah! Do you mean Xiao Ai's child, I haven't seen her for a while, indeed, if we Ah Fei can stay by her side, we will definitely learn a lot, this is a good proposal~ Lance!"
"That's right," Lance turned to Siegfried and instructed, "I'll contact your uncle and tell him about it later, I should be able to send you to Earth the day after tomorrow at the latest, so you can pack your bags and get ready later."
Siegfried was surprised, "Hey, it's so fast, but I'm..."
Then Bennice suddenly interrupted, "Hey! Lance, are you going to contact Yu Yusi later, why don't you let me come, it just so happens that I haven't been in touch with him for a while, and our sister and brother just take this opportunity to catch up."
As she spoke, Benice got up and approached Lance, and then, naturally, stopped his arm and started talking.
"Didn't you just get in touch last month?"
"Oops, that's different~ I just used SMS to contact last time, and people want to communicate face-to-face......
In this way, the couple chatted to themselves, and while talking, they walked out of Siegfried's room together, and closed the door of the room.
And Siegfei, who had been unable to interject, could only look at the back of his parents leaving, and said a little speechlessly, "Hey, I haven't agreed yet, don't you all ask my opinion?!"
Faced with his parents who talked to themselves to help him make decisions, Siegfried was helpless, but unfortunately the person had already left, and it was too late for him to say that he didn't agree now.
"Hey, forget it, maybe this is really a good opportunity for me to change, but my sister and I don't seem to have seen each other for a long time, I wonder how she's doing now?" As he spoke, Siegfried couldn't help but look up in a daze.
