Edus Academy, underground training ground.

Valker took his personal terminal and listened quietly to the voice coming from there, telling him about Grede.

"He disappeared at the entrance of Lane 142 in the water rat area last night and never came out again, and now it is also empty, and there is no body and no trace."

After that, there is other relevant information and speculation.

……

"Got it, thanks." Valker hung up his personal terminal and looked silently at the mirror in the training room.

Compared to the other students in the school, Valker's body can be described as unusually strong, with well-defined muscles, thick phalanges, and a faint majesty on his body, which many students who grew up on the ivory tower campus do not have.

Such a character,No wonder even if he comes from a humble background,,It's also a lot of attention in Edes Academy.,He even received the love of some wealthy ladies.。

However, Valc did not indulge in these loves, he knew that everything was still unstable, but others were optimistic about his future, and if his performance in the future could not meet the requirements of those big shots, then everything now could be taken back.

He's not a naïve kid anymore, and he doesn't have that kind of fantasy dreams.

"Grad......" he silently read the familiar and increasingly unfamiliar name.

After sitting quietly in the lounge for half an hour, he stood up, walked into the shower room next to him, rinsed off and changed into a neat uniform, and walked out of the underground training ground.

After leaving, he went directly to the teacher's office, which he was familiar with on weekdays, and found the teacher in charge of him.

After listening to Valker's appeal, the teacher shook his head: "Valker, although Edus Academy has a great reputation, it is not omnipotent, or rather, you don't have enough strength to ask for these now." ”

"It's one thing to help you and help you, but it's another thing to help your friends, we can't help every friend of the students, and it's already a lot of kindness to be able to support the students."

"I don't want to judge your friends, but judging from just a teacher and senior, such a person will only keep dragging you down, and sooner or later you will step into greater danger because of him."

"I know you're going to be sad to say that, but it's a fact, the school is not a charity, and it's impossible to meet your ideas and needs endlessly."

"Well, so be it...... I'm going to have the people in the information department keep an eye on your friend's whereabouts with limited authority, and if there's still no news, there's nothing I can do. Finally, out of the attraction and investment in the future sunrise star, the teacher agreed to help.

"Thank you very much, teacher." Valker folded his legs and bowed solemnly.

"You don't have to thank me, but you have to find a way to prevent this from happening again." The teacher reminded Valk meaningfully.

"I see, teacher." Valc then retired.

He knew the kind reminder under the teacher's voice.,Although he's not good at words.,But he's not a stupid person.,Otherwise, he wouldn't have been recruited by Edes Academy.。

It's just that...... It's hard to get him to abandon Grad completely.

On a snowy night many years ago, if they hadn't helped each other, they might have frozen to death in the wild, and that memory, as well as these scars on his body, reminded him all the time.

Although geniuses are not born apart, geniuses born in barren predicament often have to endure greater tests, some of which come from discordant families, some from ignorant parents, some from childhood trauma, some from the pull of people close to them in the past, and some of the ill intentions of those around them.

It is not that the poor are inherently bad, but it is extremely difficult to restrain oneself at the risk of not being able to survive in a situation of scarcity and scarcity.

Many people will teach children to be generous and let go of toys and snacks in their hands, but for children, if they let go of toys, they may never see this beloved thing again, and let go of delicious snacks in their hands, and they may not know when they will eat next time.

Toys and snacks in the eyes of adults, they will estimate according to their own income, which is just a drop in the bucket for them, and they can buy them at any time, so they will not feel distressed.

However, for the child, he has no income, this may be his only treasure, is the treasure that he finally obtained, if he shares it, there is a high probability that he will never see it again, so he will be reluctant.

It's easy to teach your child to share, if you give him a room full of the same toys, it's naturally easy for him to share one with his friends, and if he gives him endless snacks every day, he probably doesn't care about sharing a bag out.

It will be easier to learn to be kind in the case of affluence, but it will become difficult in the case of poverty.

Valker's childhood was not a happy one, he almost came on the verge of death, and Grede's friend, although he was very unbearable and not decent in the eyes of others, understood him for him, and many times for people on the edge of the bottom struggle, there was not much room to be a good person, and even if such a friend would drag him down, and even affect himself in the end, he couldn't just sit back and watch each other, die outside like a wild dog, while he sat in a warm and comfortable house and enjoyed praise.

————

The wait was always so long and torturous, and by the time Valker received the news again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"It is said that he was caught by an underground mercenary, who is very famous in the underworld."

"The arrest of him this time was an order from a hidden large company, and the 'Three Pointers Workshop' also said that it would send someone to deal with it, and if we insist on interfering, we will face great resistance." The meaning of the other party,Valker also understands,That is, it is impossible for the school to be deeply involved in the patent war between the two companies for him。

"I see, can you tell me the approximate address and direction?" Valk asked again.

Although the other party repeatedly denied and refused, but at Valker's insistence, he still said the address.

"No. 5 North Leaf Street, this is the news from the 'Three Pointers Workshop', and they are also tracking down Grad's whereabouts."

"Okay, thank you." After hanging up, Valker rummaged through the room and found the protective gear he used for his usual battles and began to put it on.

Although it is a protective gear for practice, but because of the wealth of Edest Academy, its protective power is not inferior to ordinary exoskeleton armor, and after wearing it, Valker only shows a pair of dark eyes on the outside, and the whole body is covered by dark gray steel armor.

After checking it in the mirror, Valker found a wide trench coat to cover the close-fitting armor, and as for the head, he pulled on the wide hood of the trench coat to cover it.

When he was ready, he picked up the handle of his emergency lightsaber again, stuck it behind his waist, and left the residence.

Soon,A hovercar sped up from the school park.,Rush to the southwest of the Sara tree module.。
