[Mr. Xia Ming:

When you get this letter, we realize that we have met old friends a few times.

Please, make your choice, according to your intuition.

We extend a cordial invitation to you and look forward to welcoming you at any time.

——Student Union and Storm Joint Recruitment Department.

]

Hunting knife on a knife holder, strange girl with a strange name. Remembering his agreement, you know what to do.

He tore open the second letter, and it was two cards, one blue and one dark gray.

The blue card reads:

The Students' Union, founded in 790 AD, was adjusted according to the political reform of the royal palace.

By 825, there had been 9 presidents.

At present, it has developed into the largest organization of the college, and is as famous as the Storm Society.

Current President: Qishan Lei Pu.

Historical Honors: Successfully performed 5 A-class, 8 B-class, and 130 C-class missions, and killed a total of 389 monsters, including participating in the 799 Extramural Invasion and killing the monster boss.

Dark Grey Cards:

The Storm Society, the full name of the Heart of the Storm. The date of creation is unknown, but it was founded by Grand Commander Bandar Kay, a Knight of Order under the Throne of the Round Table (1).

In 739, the academy was founded, and the Heart of the Storm retired and was renamed the Storm Society.

Current President: Luca Kristier.

Historical honors (790 start): 50 A, 18 B, 76 C, 207 total number of hunts.

In 799, he used brute force to contain the monster army, causing the leader to be killed.

Behind the cards are their badges, among which the sword is crossed, exactly the same as on the unknown hunting knife, is the badge of the student council;

The wings of the spear throwing are the same pattern on the armband of the girl I saw yesterday, and they belong to the Storm Society.

Sure enough, they've all met.

I saw that on the back of both cards was written: If you have made a choice, please register at the registration office with this certificate.

When Xia Ming went out, he happened to meet Fei Lin, it turned out that Fei Lin and he lived not far away, and they could be reached by walking a few steps outside.

When they explained their purpose to each other, Fei Lin was surprised and said, "How can you have two invitation cards, and it is already good to receive one." ”

Ferrin also has a card, gray-black. For knowing the inside story of some of the storm meetings that are known for their violence, Xia Ming thought that the invitation was really not sent to the wrong person.

"Really?" Xia Ming said suspiciously.

He didn't know anything about these, and those open and conspicuous corners of the corridor naturally became the department's recruitment publicity. However, it may be a difference in priority, and it is not crowded.

"The difference between our rules and the ordinary," Ferrin said. However, I've heard that some people don't need rules at all, they've been hunters since the moment they stepped here, and they haven't even trained. ”

Fei Lin's tone was a little unwilling, as if to say, why didn't I have me among those people, and wasted his time for three months.

"Why do you have two cards, though?" Ferrin asked. "Do they also have any special rules open for you? ”

"What special rules can there be?" said Xia Ming.

"For example, you can choose two at the same time. ”

"To be honest, I don't even want to choose one. If I choose one of them, will the other call my brother to beat me?"

Fei Lin shook his head speechlessly, he wondered if he would be cheeky enough to ask for one, but apparently he couldn't do it;

The procedure is as simple as written, just register. But in the office, Xia Ming saw the uncle who was in charge of the warehouse again. The uncle received him very warmly and asked him to sign a few words and it was approved.

Fortunately, the process is simple, Xia Ming usually only cares about his own affairs, it is too troublesome, even if pie falls from the sky, if he still has to queue, it has nothing to do with him.

He walked out in a daze, and as he passed by a circular building, there was a sudden loud commotion from inside. Xia Ming thought that something had exploded, and when he looked inside, he saw Fei Lin standing on the stage and throwing out the two interviewers. Xia Ming was dumbfounded, the name of the storm was specially created for Fei Lin.

Who said that if you become a hunter, you don't need to study? Who said that if you become a hunter, you can fight every day? Those who made up their minds early may now have their hearts twisted into threads.

Since they left the training army, they have studied more courses, five classes a day, a full day, and even in the evenings, they have been given boring pharmacological knowledge in the herbalist - these were originally second-year courses, and many people have begun to envy those who stay in the freshman area.

Because of the time, Xia Ming and Zhang Monkey and others rarely meet, and occasionally they meet on the road just to say hello, and when they turn their heads, they don't know where they are going.

Sometimes, Xia Ming thought that he was still in the public school in Snow Stone. There is less training, less nagging from instructors, and it's really unaccustomed. But they are actually learning theoretical knowledge?

This is not what he used to understand.

The academy is not an academy, they only learn a certain ability, not all aspects of knowledge, which only the academy does.

Xia Ming was a little skeptical that if they continued like this, they would still be able to pick up hunting knives and fight when they encountered enemies.

Finally, on the weekend, Xia Ming was ready to go to the ancient forest alone, the hunting knife of the source matter would not rust, but his bones were about to rust.

Hunters are free to move around the campus, and are no longer subject to the same constraints as training soldiers. But he didn't recognize the way, the strange ancient forest, its actual area was larger than it looked, like a palm-sized atlas, when you opened it, in fact, you will find that it has folded parts on three sides.

He had to go to the library, and in addition to looking for the map, there was one more thing that bothered him.

The last time he borrowed it was just a condensed version of the territory map, the location of the military academy was located in the northern part of the territory world, its general outline resembled a crescent moon, the ancient forest was not completely surrounded by it, and it was also surrounded by a large forest outside. All there is to know about the academy is just that much about two fingernails combined.

When he arrives at the library, Mina happens to be there, and it can't be so coincidental unless she stays here all day.

As he expected, when Xia Ming asked her for help, she quickly helped him find the relevant area.

But she said: "The maps are pretty much the same, just the publishers are different." I think this kind of detailed map is classified and is protected, and it is easy not to put it in such a public place. ”

Listening to her distressed tone, it seemed that she was also looking for an opportunity to get out.

"But, have you noticed that the ancient forest is a bit weird?" she said.

"Did you notice that, too?" said Xia Ming, it was indeed a little strange there, but it was not something he could understand.

"Van der Mon's 'Anecdotes'" Mina tossed a book to him, "In 729, Storm Leader Pena discovered a second relic in the Ancient Forest. No one knows what the relics are, how they were made, and where they came from.

Some believe that it is forged from high-purity source matter, but it is said to have the power to easily destroy a large town, which cannot be done by source matter, which can only mimic it at best.

The first relic was the 'Sword of Order' in the hands of the royal palace, and the earliest records of it date back to the time of the King of the Round Table, after which the Knights of Order were named. The military academy was founded in 739, and in order to unearth the secrets of the academy, it was established. ”

Xia Ming heard it, it turned out that she was not worried about not being able to go out, but worried about these secrets, and she couldn't wait to investigate it immediately.

Xia Ming said: "No matter what, we just need to know that it is used to protect the territorial world. ”

Mina said in horror, "I know, but, I'm afraid they don't know how to use it." So..."

Xia Ming exclaimed: "So... Investigation Force.. They're testing its abilities!"

Mina said: ".. Hopefully they're not.."

She remembered the flying puppets, which showed that they were in danger.

Xia Ming couldn't help but be a little worried, if it was really as they thought, once they were discovered by the people in the palace, all the people here would be cleared. It doesn't matter if they don't protect the world, because they have seriously threatened the rule of the royal palace.

Moreover, if even Mina can find records of such books in the library, it means that it is not a very secret thing, and it is likely that the palace has noticed them. The hunters didn't want to cover it up, so whether they had it or not, they were waiting for the right time, and when the Survey Corps deciphered the holy relic, it would probably be the day when one of them would be destroyed.

Although Xia Ming did not participate in the oath of the World Wall, when the time comes, will his hunting knife be pointed at his own kind, will his kind point their weapons at him?

They all realized that it was not a matter of being prepared for danger in times of peace, but that something was actually happening. For example, this batch of newcomers has learned the skills of hunters in advance and promoted to become hunters.

"Anyway, don't tell anyone what you've found. I think the principal has a solution. Xia Ming was on the chair.

"I'm not going to tell anyone about it. Mina assured.

"Regarding pharmacology, do you know where it is on the bookshelf?" Xia Ming finally asked.

Mina said, "Pharmacology is locked up on the second floor, and can only be obtained under the guidance of a mentor."

Xia Ming nodded silently.
