Two weeks have passed.

All three phases of teamwork training are completed.

In the first stage, the starship piloting and combat command and operation were fully passed;

In the second stage, the team members are divided into groups, and the tactical drills between groups are practiced with all the players, and all of them pass;

In the third stage, based on Link's personal experience and some classic cases, all members passed.

After all, the time was shorter, and relying on the tacit understanding that had always existed, the run-in of the ten-person team was quite smooth.

It is impossible to say how strong the tactical execution ability and actual combat power are.

Seek truth from facts, and do not deceive yourself.

But to say that it is not competitive, that is also impossible.

A soldier bears a nest of bears.

In the same way, Link, the leader of the team, is powerful, and the combat power that the team members can exert is naturally higher.

This morning, just as Link was considering whether to formulate a fourth phase of training to strengthen the weak points of the team, he received two notices in succession.

The first is a summons notice to ask him to go to the dean's office in the administration building of the senior college at 14 o'clock this afternoon to meet the dean.

The second is the call call-up, Sandora. Diomande once again called out Link.

As Lanny said, this call-up was not only for Link himself, but also for a ten-man squad.

Link had expected it, and it wasn't a surprise.

He was not in a hurry to respond to the call, and was prepared to wait until he met with the dean before making a decision.

To be on the safe side, Link tentatively gives Lanny. Taylor sent a message asking her to have a video chat at a suitable time.

As a result, Lannie immediately sent a communication request.

Link agrees to the request and connects the communication.

"What's the matter?"

Lannie's voice came out with a slightly noisy background.

"You're back home?"

Link didn't rush to get down to business, and asked curiously.

"No, at the academy headquarters, shopping with Sandora, she's trying on clothes."

Lannie replied casually.

"Hmm......"

Link pondered for a while, then decided to switch the topic and said, "I'm going to meet the dean in the afternoon, and I don't know what to talk about for the time being, so I didn't rush to respond to the call of Wizard Sandora to avoid conflict." ”

"It's a thing."

Lanny turned her head to look in other directions before she said, "There is no difference. The dean of the native academy is Sandora's third uncle. ”

"Okay."

Link was speechless.

"She's coming out, hang up first, I'll let you know if there's something."

Lannie hurriedly hung up the communication.

Putting down his portable brain, Link turned his chair and looked out the window at the lawn, speechless for a long time.

"What's wrong? In this daze? ”

Jasmine walked into the study, grabbed Link from behind her with both hands, put her head on her neck, and asked softly, "What's upset, or are you not satisfied with the results of the teamwork training?" ”

"Neither."

Link grabbed a small white hand, rubbed it between his palms, and said, "I just feel that everything in the world is like a big net, and people are like a small bird, and the bird is in the net, and it cannot be free." ”

"Really? If you can't resist for the time being, don't worry too much about it, and save it for later. There will always be a day when you will become stronger, break free from the shackles of this net, and be free. We're free to do whatever we want. ”

Although I don't know what happened to Link to feel such a feeling, Jasmine still relieved in her own way.

Whether it's a boy or a man, it's impossible to be as strong as it appears to be.

There will always be times when you are vulnerable, or when you are hit, and your will is depressed.

Comfort, comfort, and understanding are much better than hating them, hating this and that, and being more than the west.

Link's mood was indeed much soothed, patted Jasmine's hand, and said, "You go and inform them, and do all the work at hand, or it won't be long before you have to go to the competition." In addition, we will gather at the station in the evening and talk about some things. ”

"Understood, I'll go."

Jasmine straightened up, flicked the back of Link's head, and turned to walk out of the study.

Since Link responded to her positively, Jasmine has really let herself go more and more in front of Link.

There is a faint tendency to become a little Siji.

It can only be said that Jasmine chose to follow the example of Wizard Cherine, and has learned a five-point resemblance and a six-point god-likeness.

Maybe when a whim strikes, I'm going to eat Link.

After lunch and a short rest, Link chose to go to the dean's office a little earlier.

Jasmine strongly requested to be accompanied.

Fifteen minutes before the scheduled 14 o'clock, Link was already in the administrative vicinity.

Jasmine stopped a short distance downstairs and watched Link walk into the administration building.

It's like sending off the young soldiers who are about to go to war.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this meeting can indeed be regarded as a war.

A war without gunpowder.

The dean's office occupies an entire floor on the top floor of the administration building, and the door is closed.

There was a bench in the hallway, and Link sat down and waited.

At 13:59, Link got up and knocked softly on the door.

"Enter."

A deep, magnetic baritone voice came from the office.

Link pushed open the door and walked into the office, meeting the eyes of the dean who was a middle-aged man's appearance and outfit, and walked steadily to the desk.

It didn't seem to be much affected by the oppressive gaze.

"Link. Grande, report to you. ”

After settling down, Link introduced himself in a calm and calm voice.

"Well, sit."

The Dean gestured to the chair beside Link.

"Thank you, Dean."

Link sat down immediately, not quite seated, but also not flattering as if his ass was only on the edge of the chair.

Not humble or arrogant, polite and courteous.

"Do you know what you are calling for?"

The dean's magnetic voice spoke, and he asked casually.

The big guy can be arbitrary, but Link doesn't dare to be arbitrary.

That's not a good question to answer.

The answer is not appropriate, whether you know or don't know.

Know?

Who told you in advance?

I don't know?

I can't even figure out what I want, so what's the use of you?

So Link replied, "Everything is under the command of the dean." ”

Avoid the heavy and light, the universal formula.

"Heh......"

The dean chuckled, "Slippery head." ”

Raising his hand and pointing at Link, the dean said:

"Looking at you like this, you must know something about the game, but you don't know much, you don't know much about it, you don't dare to answer rashly.

Let me tell you this, the academy is going to send four teams of first-level wizards who have been promoted within four years to participate in a competition between several wizarding organizations in the Michelle District in a week's time.

You are one of the captains who has been decided.

Your team is formed by yourself.

The college's requirements for you are that you can guarantee five into three in the team competition and sit in three in the individual competition, do you have any confidence? ”

It's hard to say in the team competition, but in the individual competition, Link is full of confidence.

However, Link didn't dare to make a military order at will.

If the words are too full, they are not achieved, and it is easy to rebel.

It is commonly known as not to set up flags casually.

He asked tentatively, "Can I know which wizarding organizations will send teams?" ”

"Of course."

The dean smiled, "I can still tell you this information in advance." There are 5 in total, we are Revosus Academy, Shadow City, Metal & Flame Trading Company, Mesobrada University, and White Tower Alliance. ”

These 5 wizarding organizations are all powerful wizarding organizations in the Michel District, second only to the Tower of the Great Sage of Michelle.

Each family sends 4 teams, for a total of 20.

There is a certain degree of difficulty in the team competition, but it is not completely impossible.

Link estimated his own strength and the strength of his descendants, and felt that he was still certain that he could accomplish this goal.

Compared to some teams that may be made up entirely of senior first-level wizards,

The disadvantage of "doing anything freely" is only that all members have a shorter time to become first-level wizards.

Talent, resources, equipment, witchcraft, training, tactical execution, will not be bad.

After thinking about it, Link replied cautiously: "I don't dare to pack tickets, I can only guarantee that I will do my best to strive for a good ranking." ”

"You......"

The dean nodded at Link again, "It's a slippery head." I still know your strength. Is it difficult for you to sit on the individual competition? It's not hard at all! Forget it, it still doesn't put too much pressure on you, you do your best, just don't hide it. ”

"Thank you, Dean, for your understanding."

Link immediately thanked him, and then said, "I will definitely go all out, strive for the top, and win glory for the college." ”

"Hmm."

The dean replied and said something else, "Sandora will be the leader of the academy this time, leading the four teams of the academy to participate in the competition. Because she has a personal bet, she needs to compare the results of their respective teams with someone from the Metal and Flame Trading Company. So she enlisted you and your team. In my opinion, you can consider responding to the call-up. ”

"Yes, I'll respond as soon as I get back."

Link immediately agreed.

Sure enough, as Lanny said, there is no difference between responding earlier and responding later.

This matter had been decided before he received the call-up notice.

"The last time she recruited you, there were some twists and turns along the way, which caused her to lose her mind on the management and tasks of the legion, so that she neglected many things. Later, it was the report you sent her that reminded her. ”

At this time, the dean started a new sentence, "She asked me to hand over some items to you as a subsidy for the last time you were recruited, and as a reward for your excellent performance. ”

As he spoke, the dean opened the drawer of the desk on the first floor, took out three scrolls from it, and placed them in front of Link: "She understands that you have been looking for 'Warframe' type 1-ring witchcraft, so she has prepared these for you. You deserve it, don't take it and don't shirk it. ”

"Yes, thank you Dean, thank you Wizard Shandora."

Without twisting, Link put the three witchcraft model scrolls into the "small world" in front of the dean.

The dean sensed a different spatial fluctuation, and for a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud, and said something a little inexplicable: "Waters is probably going to hate Rosenthal to death." ”

Link didn't understand much for a while, but the two people mentioned in his intuition were related to his "small world".

His use of "small world" in front of the dean is itself tempting.

It was impossible for the dean not to see it, but he still let out such an emotion, which was to mention Link.

Therefore, the thought in Link's heart flashed quickly, and he made a more reasonable guess:

Nine times out of ten, Waters gave the "seed" to his high-level existence in the form of an additional reward for the first grade and two districts;

It is very likely that Rosenthal is a high-level existence in the apprentice-level cultivation secret realm, for unknown reasons, to help Link, so that he can truly have the ownership of the "seed".

After guessing this, Link had no joy in his heart.

It's a vague concern.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

I only hope that the struggle between these two high-level beings will not affect him.

A grain of ash of the times, falling on the head of an individual, is a mountain.

A spark spilled out by the struggle of the bigwigs fell on the low-level wizards, and it could definitely burn it to the point that there were no ashes left.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you stand firm, you'll be fine."

The dean saw Link's concern, and spoke out in relief, but also meaningfully.

"Yes."

Link could only reply like this.

It makes no difference whether you hear it or not.

Let's be honest and be a quail that only nods.

"Alright, that's it, and prepare well when you get back. Before you go, you will be sent detailed rules for the event. ”

The dean waved his hand and motioned for Link to leave.

Link got up, bowed, and exited the office.

It wasn't until he walked out of the administration building of the Senior College that Link let out a long breath of turbidity, loosening the taut heartstrings and the "Occlumency Technique" that had been running at full strength.

The pressure on Link from the Dean was much higher than the behemoth who was hiding behind the Level 5 brood.

It's been a long time since Link has experienced the feeling of being in a cold sweat.

"How's it going?"

Jasmine greeted her from afar and asked with concern.

"It's okay, normal task, normal execution."

Link didn't hide from Jasmine, saying, "It's just that I still have to respond to Wizard Sandora's call to represent her and compete with another team for results." ”

"It doesn't make a difference to business, does it?"

"Probably not."

After asking what she wanted to know, Jasmine looked at the cold sweat on Link's forehead, and said with concern, "Let's go back to the villa and rest." ”

"Hmm."

Link nodded in agreement.

Jasmine drives the "Phantom Coupe" and takes Link back to the lake house.

Entering the villa, Jasmine was busy, handed a towel to Link, and instructed the housekeeper Hamid to make tea,

It wasn't until she was sure that Link was no longer in a cold sweat and that she had completely calmed down that Jasmine stopped.

Link saw all of this, and considering that Jasmine's precipitation was almost sufficient, he decided to use the number of times the official wizard-level cultivation secret realm that had been held in his hands would be used by Jasmine after the end of the game.

In this way, Jasmine will not stay in the first-level wizard stage for too long.

After a significant improvement, it will not lead to unstable foundations.

Link kept this decision to himself for the time being, without telling Jasmine.

Let's be a surprise then.

Evening.

Link was stationed at the "Freedom to Do Anything" Senior Academy, and convened the Brothers and Social Terrorism Group as promised.

"Team competition, protect five and fight for three!"

Link paced around the nine team members, talking as he went.

"That's what the dean asked of us."

"I didn't promise it."

"It's about trying your best to fight for it."

"Why?"

"You tell me."

Starting with Jasmine, Link looked at each other one by one with five benevolent brothers and three fake social fears.

After a while, Lynn came out and said in a slightly unnatural tone: "Because we are not strong enough, the big guy is not confident enough." ”

"Is anyone else thinking the same way as Lynn?"

Motioning for Lynn to return to the team, Link asked.

No one responded for a long time.

Shaking his head, Link said, "Whatever you want to say, just say it!" Don't we have the freedom to do anything? ”

"Report! I think the big guy has other considerations, and he can't guess the big guy's mind for a while, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Buck stepped forward and said.

"You think the same as Buck?"

"Yes, big guy."

Link stopped pacing, stood firmly, and raised his right index finger:

"The reason why I didn't accept the dean is simple.

Fight for three?

No, I'm Link. Grande, that's all we want to do freely?

Fuck the five fight for three!

If we want to fight, we have to fight for a first return.

Whoever dares to stop us, we will kill him!

Is there confidence? ”

Everyone was enthusiastic by Link's brief words, and shouted loudly in unison, "Yes! ”

"What faith is there?"

Link opened his right hand and put it to his ear in a listening gesture.

"Take the first!"

"Wrong!"

Link looked serious and corrected seriously,

"It's the car that overturned everyone!"
