Demon's Self-cultivation

The little devil who loves to make trouble looks forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that the current peaceful life will make waves, but to his disappointment, during the next three days of vacation, Mandel went to After a trip to the Red Star Bar, there were no more changes.

On the day when he sent his host back to school, Qiao Qiao was extremely depressed, drooping his head and feeling unhappy.

Mandel raised his hand and patted his head jokingly: "So, you can't bear me?"

"...Hmm." Qiao Qiao nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.

The access control of the affiliated high school is very strict, otherwise the people who had previously connected with Mandel would not have passed on the news when he left school on vacation.Now that the host has returned to the school, doesn't that mean that the "revenge plan" will be temporarily put on hold again?

——Finally saw the dawn of hope, felt happy for a while, and was beaten back to its original shape in an instant, how could the little devil be willing? !

"Why are you so coquettish this time? I never saw you acting like a baby when I returned to school." Mandel resisted the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise, and complained affectionately.

Little Beast blinked his eyes, and decided to stimulate his host: "I... I don't know, I just feel a little uneasy..."

Mandel froze for a moment, his dark gray eyes sank slightly, and the smile on his face was a little stiff: "Uneasy?"

"I feel that Brother Mandel has something on his mind." Qiaoqiao looked up at Mandel with anxious eyes, "It's something on my mind that I don't know about."

Mandel didn't answer, just reached out and rubbed his head again.

Seeing Mandel's silence, Jojo's eyes that were filled with anticipation and desire to be appeased suddenly dimmed. He lowered his eyes and became quiet.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit gloomy and depressing. After a long time, Mandel sighed softly.He originally wanted to hide from Qiao Qiao, and he thought he did a good job of hiding it, but he never thought that this little thing would be so sensitive.

"How did you see that?" Mandel hooked Jojo's chin, forcing him to look directly at himself.

"I... don't know, it's just a feeling." Qiao Qiao shook his head, "After all, I've been looking at Brother Mandel..."

"Yeah, you've always cared about me so much. How could you not feel my emotional changes?" Mandel laughed lowly, sounding self-deprecating and touched.

"I'll tell you later, but not now. Because... I haven't decided what to do." Mandel turned his hand and pulled him into his arms, "I'll tell you when I think it over, okay? ?”

"Okay~" Qiao Qiao nodded, and replied softly, without further entanglement, "No matter what my brother wants to do, you must tell me, we have agreed." Baby Fat's fair and tender face, with a serious and firm tone, "We agreed, Jojo will help with what my brother wants to do, so brother can't leave me alone!"

Unexpectedly, the little guy in his arms was not only keenly aware of his abnormality, but even guessed the reason for the abnormality.Mandel really didn't know whether to be happy because the other party cared about him so much, or to have a headache because the other party was so hard to fool.

Deep down in his heart, Mandel really didn't want to involve Jojo in his own hatred, but he couldn't bear to reject this little thing who wholeheartedly wanted to help him.

"...Well." In the end, he could only answer in such an ambiguous way, neither affirming nor denying.

Nested in Mandel's arms and coquettishly for a while, and repeatedly showed him his importance to him, feeling that the heat was almost ready, Little Demon waved off his host reluctantly, and watched him step into the school gate of the affiliated high school.

Jojo sat back in the back seat and put on his seat belt until he couldn't see Mandel.

"Where do you want to go next?" the smart taxi driving system asked through the speaker, and lowered the map screen at the same time.

Qiao Qiao pondered for a moment, resolutely gave up the idea of ​​returning to her school, and raised her hand to point to the Central Library of the Alliance.

A quarter of an hour later, Qiao Qiao stepped into the Central Library of the Alliance, swiped his student ID card for the junior class, and booked a quiet and private independent borrowing room.

I have to say that the treatment of the junior class of the scientific research institute is really good. The students in the junior class can use all the academic-related public facilities of the central star for free and have priority—such as this independent borrowing room. Ordinary alliance citizens need to pay a fee to reserve it. The high price is far less cost-effective than the free public borrowing room, but for the students in the junior class, they only need to swipe their student ID card.

Entering the personal borrowing room, Qiaoqiao put the schoolbag on the table and took out his homemade "laptop".

First checked the location of his own host, and found that he was still obediently (?) staying in the school, Qiao Qiao minimized the map window, and clicked on another document.

This document was slowly sorted out by Jojo after he came to Central Star and had sufficient conditions, and the contents of the document are news reports that may be related to Mandel.

There are hundreds of human regimes in the universe. In addition to the Union Federation formed by the independence of hundreds of colonial stars, even under the Chinese Alliance, the American Empire, and the European Empire with a unified leadership government, there are many A self-governing star that has obtained independent autonomy for various reasons.

With so many regimes, there are naturally endless political struggles. Every year, countless people are killed in the struggle for power. Those who are lucky are driven out of the power center in despair, and those who are unlucky have their homes destroyed.

There are too many tragedies brewed by these rights, and they are not always seen in the newspapers. Unless it is about to have a certain impact on the Huaxia Alliance, the public will never pay any attention to it.

However, they did not leave any traces.The foreign reporters of the Huaxia Alliance will pass the news to the alliance, and quietly record it into the archives of the country of the Huaxia Alliance for future contingencies.

These news are not classified. After all, they cannot be published in the newspapers, but because the people of the Huaxia Alliance are indifferent to them.And once someone wants to search for it, they will not be subject to any restrictions—after all, many students from the Department of History and Political Science will use these current affairs materials to enrich their papers.

During the three years since he came to Central Star, Qiao Qiao checked these reports intermittently in the Central Library, and screened them based on his guesses made some time ago.

The first screening condition is time: when Mandel took the mental power test at the age of ten, his relatives had not encountered any accidents, and he came to the orphanage in his early ten years, so the date of the event should be seven, eight years ago.

The second screening condition is family: Mandel must be from the upper class, and he is ready to start a war for revenge, which means that his former family must be at the top of the pyramid of the ruling class, It will affect the change of the power of the whole country.

The third screening condition is appearance: Mandel is Caucasian with silver hair and gray eyes, so people of yellow race and black race can be excluded, and some Caucasian families with darker hair can be properly excluded...

With such deletions and deletions, there are only a dozen or so eligible reports left in Qiaoqiao's final records, and among them, three families are the ones he is most concerned about.

The first family is the master of meritorious service.Their family has held military power for generations, and the people have a high reputation. They have been feared by the real rulers of the country for a long time, and finally planned to exterminate the family-this kind of thing has long existed, and it is not uncommon.

The second family is just the opposite.They were originally the rulers of the country, but they were overthrown by the plots of their own subjects.Of course, the rebels would not allow the blood of the former royal family to continue to exist, and they had to kill the grass and roots.

As for the third family, it is more subtle.It is about to compete with another family for the position of president of the country, but it never thought that it would be attacked by star robbers during a certain trip, and the ship would be destroyed. Do not believe.

There is a saying in human beings that "history is written by the victors". After reading so many reports and delving into the "stories" behind many reports, the little devil has to take it seriously, and secretly admires the ability of human beings to whitewash the peace.

——It is obviously such a bloody process, but it is such an understatement when it is written; no matter how severe the political turmoil is, the people can quickly calm down under the comfort of the new leader and continue their life without waves.

Such a powerful yet indifferent adaptability, really even the heart demon is quite amazed.

——So, which family did Mandel come from?Qiaoqiao didn't know his surname, so naturally he couldn't judge, so he could only close the updated document in dismay.

Next, in Jojo's long-awaited, Mandel stayed in the area of ​​the affiliated high school very peacefully, as if he was really just a high school student who was trying hard to prepare for the graduation examination.

Every time he closed the surveillance map in disappointment, Qiao Qiao would feel a deep heartache, and even wanted to go to the "mysterious" Red Star Bar to see the situation in person.

——However, thinking that after three years of training, he had finally grown to a D-level, but his physical fitness was still far below the standard of a normal person, Xiao Xiaomo restrained his untimely impulse quite self-aware .

After more than three months of tossing and turning, scratching her heart and lungs, Qiao Qiao finally made it to the graduation test time of the affiliated high school.

Before the graduation test, the students had another day off, allowing them to make final adjustments and sprints on their own—although cramming is not very useful, but at least... it can also have some psychological comfort?

On the day of the holiday, Xu Zhengjie asked for leave from the military department and drove Qiao Qiao to pick up Mandel by himself.Wearing training clothes, Mandel got into the suspension car with his own luggage. While giving Qiao Qiao a smile, he thanked Xu Zhengjie in a low voice.

"Don't be so polite. Tomorrow is a very important day. It's only natural for me to pick you up." Xu Zhengjie replied with a smile, looking at the tall, tall and heroic Mandel with admiration, "Go home today and take a good rest and adjust. You have made a default decision to enter a higher school, but you can't slack off in tomorrow's assessment."

"I know." Mandel nodded solemnly.

"I believe you will not let us down." Xu Zhengjie smiled slightly, and his tone was rather proud—although there is no legal relationship, Mandel has received a lot from Xu Zhengjie in the past three years in Central Star. Taking care of him, Xu Zhengjie almost regarded him as half his son psychologically.Now, "son" has grown up so well, and his reputation has spread to the military headquarters at a young age. He is naturally honored, and he walks like wind under the envious eyes of his colleagues.

"By the way, have you decided on the department for further study?" Xu Zhengjie raised his eyebrows with a little curiosity.

"I have chosen." Mandel's answer this time was very straightforward, "I am going to choose the combat command system."

"Not bad!" Xu Zhengjie's eyes lit up, quite happy.He also graduated from this department, and now he is "inheriting his father's career", of course he is very satisfied, "The combat command department is very suitable for you. You are calm-headed, calm when changing, and cautious but not afraid of your hands. Commander." After a pause, he felt a little regretful, "It's just a pity that your 2S physical fitness..."

Commanders don't have high requirements for physical fitness. After all, although they are on the front line, they seldom go to battle to kill the enemy in person, while the Mecha Combat Department pays great attention to physical fitness.Different from ordinary fighters, mecha fighters are the sharpest knives that can tear apart the enemy's defenses and turn the tide of battle. If you want to enter this department, the lowest threshold is physical fitness level S, and after training, you can truly become a mecha fighter. Finally, their physical fitness levels are generally around 2S.

"If I have time, I would like to choose to attend the Mecha Combat Department." Mandel said calmly.

"That's good." Xu Zhengjie has seen Mandel's excellence in his eyes for these years, and he has great confidence in his learning ability and self-control ability, "but pay attention to rest, work and rest, and don't wear yourself out."

"I will pay attention." Mandel nodded slightly, "Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Listening to Mandel and Xu Zhengjie discussing the arrangements after entering the Central Military Academy, Xiao Xiaomo leaned on Mandel with a gloomy face—isn’t he about to start revenge?Why does my own host still concentrate on studying hard and making progress every day? !Don't you feel like putting the cart before the horse? ? ! !

In short, no matter how crazy the little devil was in his heart, Mandel still passed the graduation examination smoothly, and as expected, he achieved a brilliant result far exceeding No.2, hanging high at the top of the list.

In order to celebrate Mandel's graduation with excellent grades, Xu Zhengjie specially proposed to take him and Jojo out for a while during the summer vacation after graduation, but when he heard this proposal, Mandel flatly refused.

"Why?" Xu Zhengjie, who was holding a travel brochure, was very surprised.

"Because..." Mandel pursed his lips and subconsciously glanced at Jojo.His eyes were somewhat apologetic, but he didn't hesitate, "Because my relatives in my hometown found me and wanted to take me back to have a look."

Xiaomo, who was browsing the travel brochure with his head down and lacking in interest, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then——his eyes brightened.
