San Romia Military Academy Residence, Room C017.

Irene took out a brand-new black military uniform from the closet and handed it to the man behind him. The expressionless Lieutenant Colonel Knox took the military uniform from his wife and asked in a low voice while changing, "How about the morning training camp?" how?"

Irene smiled and said: "The overall quality of this year's conductor department students is much better than in previous years. There are two students who are particularly outstanding. They got full marks in the entrance examination, and one of them is Beta."

Knox paused slightly with his buttoning fingers, and looked up at Irene, "Full marks? What's your name?"

Irene replied: "Cesar, and Lin Yuan."

"Oh, the principal greeted me. Caesar is the fourth prince. Those questions should be easy for him. It's normal to get full marks in the exam, but Lin Yuan..." Knox paused thoughtfully , "You said he was a Beta?"

Irene nodded: "The information says Beta, the results of the blood pheromone test and his breath are all Beta."

Knox frowned slightly.

Seeing his frown, Irene couldn't help but ask, "Did you... think of the general?"

Knox was silent.

Irene said softly: "When the general entered school that year, he also got full marks, and he was also a beta. It was only after many years that everyone found out that he was injected with inhibitors..."

"Inhibitors have been completely banned a long time ago." Knox interrupted her in a low voice, "Most people can't buy inhibitors even if they have money, and now all students entering the school have to undergo serum tests and inject inhibitors. It is impossible to sneak into the military academy, what happened back then will never happen again."

Thinking of that person, Knox's eyes suddenly flashed with pain.

Back then, if I had been able to firmly stop Rosen from entering the cell, would the ending be different?The general would not secretly drive a mech to escape the Cepheus galaxy because he was unwilling to be under house arrest to have children by Rosen's side, only to be buried in that interstellar ruin with no bones left.

If Rosen had been stopped at that time, the general would have tortured himself to the point of collapse in a dark cell?Or use a strong will to survive the estrus period and be locked up in a military prison for a lifetime?

Either way, it was too cruel for that person.

All Knox knew was that, as an adjutant, he hadn't completed the last order from the general.

—he betrayed the general's trust.

After the Night Legion was forcibly disbanded, Rosen invited Knox to serve in the Legion of Glory, but Knox resolutely refused.He came to this military academy with his wife, Irene, and became an ordinary instructor, no longer asking about any military affairs.

These years of life have been so peaceful that Knox almost forgot the excitement and excitement he felt when he followed General Ling Yu to the front line and charged to kill the enemy.

Knox took a deep breath and continued to button the last button on the collar of his military uniform.

Irene was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Probably because I'm overthinking it, I always feel that Lin Yuan looks a bit like him."

——The same fair skin, black hair, clear eyes, and eyes full of firmness and confidence.

The difference is that Lin Yuan always has a smile on his face, and his optimistic and cheerful appearance is full of youthful vitality, while Ling Yu back then liked to be silent, always walking alone, and didn't like to get close to others.

Although the personalities are too far apart, Irene always feels that she can see the shadow of the general in Lin Yuan.Probably because of the Asian race, they all have obvious features of the yellow race, and their black and clear eyes are like the purest obsidian in the sun.

Seeing Knox turn around and prepare to leave, Irene came back to her senses and quickly followed his footsteps.

In room A13 of the student dormitory.

Caesar took out the washed military uniform to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan thanked him and turned to change clothes.After carefully changing his military uniform, he found Caesar standing at the door waiting for him when he went out.

Caesar glanced at Lin Yuan and said, "Let's go, we're going to be late."

"..." Actually, you can go first.

Lin Yuan really hoped that Caesar would go first by himself, but Caesar actually waited for his roommate to leave with loyalty.

Different from Carl's gentleness and kindness, Lin Yuan always felt uncomfortable when facing Caesar. He didn't like to walk side by side with him, didn't like to meet his eyes, anyway, he just didn't like to be alone with him.

Caesar gave off a strange sense of oppression.

Every time I meet his eyes, I feel like my heart is being pinched.

Maybe it's because Caesar, as a pure-blooded Alpha, has a strong and domineering Alpha aura?

The two went out side by side, and happened to meet Carl who came out of the A12 dormitory next door, and that tall guy with red hair and red eyes...by the way, his name is Beck...Classmate Bei Ke.

Lin Yuan thought of the name of this weak guy, and couldn't help but smiled at him. Beike immediately blushed in embarrassment... Lin Yuan thought to himself, this guy originally had dark skin, but when he blushed, he really looked like It's chocolate.

Shell, who was imagined as a big piece of chocolate, followed Lin Yuan with his head drooping, and suddenly regretted: Lin Yuan has such a good temper, it seems a bit stupid to be unconvinced and seek trouble with him?How to remedy it?

The four of them walked to the central guild hall together, and there were already many college students lined up in neat military uniforms.

The 50 students from the Conducting Department quickly arrived, and according to Irene's instructions, they were arranged in four rows in order from short to tall, with girls in the first two rows and boys in the last two rows.Lin Yuan was the shortest of the boys, standing at the far left of the line, and on the far left of the front row was a Beta girl who was a dozen centimeters shorter than him.

The girl looked back at him, smiled and said, "Lin Yuan, hello, my name is Bosha."

"...Hello." Almost all the students in the class knew his name, which was obviously the result of loud provocation when the students gathered this morning.The girl smiled very friendly, with two small dimples on her cheeks, Lin Yuan also smiled at her, and they knew each other.

The open-air venue, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, was divided into many small areas. The freshmen of each class stood neatly in a square formation, and the "stand at attention" and "look to the right" resounded throughout the audience.

Soon after two o'clock, the scene suddenly fell silent.At this moment, in the air above the open-air venue, a row of black mechs suddenly flew neatly towards the rostrum, like a large group of eagles flying high!

The mecha lineup stopped steadily above the rostrum, and then the hatch of the cockpit was opened at the same time, and a group of officers in pure black military uniforms landed on the ground one after another in a very handsome appearance.

"..." The students were all dumbfounded.

"salute!"

A loud voice came from the stage, and the students who came back to their senses immediately stood upright and saluted a standard military salute to the rostrum.The neat blue military uniforms merged into a deep blue ocean, and the scene of tens of thousands of students saluting at the same time looked very spectacular, like a huge wave suddenly rising on the sea.

The man standing in the middle of the officer queue with three gold stars on his shoulder returned a military salute to everyone, and said loudly, "Good afternoon, everyone. I am your principal, Belfast."

Lieutenant General Belfast, who was nearly [-] years old, still looked very strong, standing upright in military uniform, with an aura of calmness and prestige.

"First of all, on behalf of all the instructors in the school, I welcome you to the St. Romia Military Academy. As the best military academy in the empire, all the students who can be admitted here are very smart and outstanding students. I think you hate it too I'm a long-winded old man here, so I'll make a long story short—"

"Saint Romia Military Academy will provide you with the best learning environment. Therefore, I also hope that you can make good use of all the resources here, study hard, and give yourself a satisfactory answer in three years! Don't let Your family, your friends, your instructors are disappointed!"

"The swearing-in ceremony will start now, please follow me to read the oath of joining the army!"

Belfast raised his right hand cautiously, turned around, raised his head, facing the flag of the Lacey Empire and the military flag of the Imperial Army on the rostrum, solemnly, earnestly, and clearly read every word: " Starting today, I will be a soldier of the Lacey Empire. I hereby solemnly swear—"

The principal's deep and deep voice echoed throughout the venue through the amplification of the loudspeaker. All the students imitated him and raised their right hands, looked up at the national flag and military flag, and recited the sacred oath——

"Starting today, I will serve as a soldier of the Lacey Empire. I solemnly swear here—"

"Absolutely obey the orders of the military department!"

"Strictly abide by the discipline of the military department!"

"Not afraid of sacrifice!"

"Fight bravely!"

"..."

The clear and loud voices of tens of thousands of teenagers resounded through the sky. The best military academy in the Lacey Empire, the 598th freshmen of the San Romia Military Academy, finally officially started their career as soldiers from this moment.

※※※※※

After the swearing-in ceremony, each class returned to their own training area.

The diameter of the large playground of the San Romia Military Academy is more than ten kilometers. The huge playground is divided into many areas for each class to train. The 50 people in the first class of the command department are assigned to the most central position. Looking around, different The small phalanxes formed by the class have already started training in the simplest postures such as running and saluting.

Irene walked up to everyone with a serious officer, and introduced: "Students, this is Lieutenant Colonel Knox, and he will be in charge of the military training for the next month."

Knox nodded expressionlessly and said, "Who is the monitor?"

Everyone: "..."

Irene coughed in embarrassment: "Cough, I forgot to choose a monitor this morning. Let's choose a monitor now!"

Everyone: "..."

Instructor Irene, who looked heroic, ruthless, and unceremoniously slashing students with a knife, would be so... When confused, everyone looked at their homeroom teacher quite speechlessly.

Knox was also very helpless for Irene's occasional confusion, but he didn't show it on his face. He still looked back at the students in front of him blankly, and asked in a low voice, "Anyone recommend themselves?"

Fifty people were silent.

"No one volunteers to be the squad leader?" Knox's cold gaze slowly swept across the queue of 50 people, "I'll give you ten seconds, if you still can't choose a squad leader, then you run around the playground for ten seconds. Come back and think about it slowly!"

"10, 9..."

"Instructor!" Finally a brave guy raised his hand.

Knox turned his head to look at him. It was a tall boy with red hair and dark red eyes. When he met Knox's gaze, the boy blushed a little embarrassedly. His dark skin looked a little weird when he blushed.

Knox asked, "What's your name?"

The boy said loudly: "Report to the instructor, my name is Baker!"

Knox nodded, "Student Baker, do you want to recommend yourself as the monitor?"

Baker immediately shook his head and said bravely: "Instructor, can I recommend someone else to be the monitor? I have a very suitable candidate in my mind!"

Knox said, "Who do you want to recommend?"

Beike glanced at the thin, black-haired, dark-eyed boy standing in the leftmost corner of the last row, and said loudly, "Report to the instructor! I recommend Lin Yuan!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

He was shot while lying down!

Knox's sharp gaze immediately swept over, Lin Yuan almost wanted to cover his face with his hands.

God!Why does the command department have such a single-celled animal?He came here early in the morning to provoke him and said, "Are you Lin Yuan who got the perfect score in the exam?" Let the whole class know me, but now I push myself to the top of the limelight!

Lin Yuan really wanted to ask: Classmate Bei Ke, me, follow, you, to, bottom, many, big, and hatred? !

Knox glanced at Lin Yuan, then turned to Baker and said, "Why do you recommend Lin Yuan?"

Baker raised his head and proudly said: "Report to the instructor! First of all, Lin Yuan's entrance score is full. As a Beta, his grades are better than many Alphas, which is enough to prove his ability!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

Alphas: "..."

"Secondly, when standing in the military posture this morning, Lin Yuan persisted for more than two hours, even longer than many Alphas! This proves that he not only has a high IQ, but also has excellent physical fitness!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

Alphas: "..."

Baker finally made a conclusion: "So I think that Lin Yuan is qualified for the position of monitor! It is most suitable for him to be our monitor! The report is over!"

Beike, how did I offend you...

This hatred was pulled too steadily, pulling all Alpha's hatred over!

Feeling the hateful, disgusting, contemptuous, and unconvinced gazes projected by the surrounding Alphas, Lin Yuan really wanted to shrink himself into a hairball like Harpy and bury him underground.

Knox nodded to Baker, then turned around and said, "Lin Yuan, get out!"

Being called by the instructor, Lin Yuan had no choice but to trot to the front of the queue with a serious face, and stood right in front of Knox, with his hands on the brim of his hat, saluted a standard military salute, and said a word decisively and cleanly in a crisp voice: " arrive!"

Knox was taken aback suddenly.

In an instant, he even had an illusion, as if time went backwards, back to 28 years ago.

Twenty-eight years ago, during the training camp of the first class of the 28th military command department, the Beta boy named Ling Yu also caught everyone's attention the moment he came out.

The Asian boy with black hair and black eyes has a standard standing posture, a standard military salute, and a clear and pleasant voice that has just passed the voice change period. Although he is thin, his body is not inferior to any tall Alpha.

No wonder Irene said that she saw the shadow of the general from this child...

At this moment, even Lieutenant Colonel Knox, who had been an adjutant by Ling Yu's side for many years, almost had an illusion.

Knox was silent for a moment before he said, "Lin Yuan, how about you being the monitor?"

Lin Yuan saluted immediately: "Yes! Instructor!"

Knox looked at him deeply and asked, "Don't you need to think about it?"

Lin Yuan raised his head and said seriously and firmly: "As a soldier, I only know how to obey the orders of my superiors! Classmate Baker recommended me, and the instructor asked me to be the squad leader. I will do my best and never let everyone down!"

Knox looked at the teenager in front of him silently.

Yes, as a soldier, the first reaction to receiving an order from a superior should be to obey, absolutely obey.

Absolute obedience to orders is also a very important part of the military oath.

Especially on the battlefield, you should not question or hesitate about the orders given to you by superior officers. Perhaps that second of hesitation is enough for the enemy to blow you and your comrades into pieces.

... Lin Yuan did this, even though he didn't want to be the squad leader.

The young man in front of him had a pair of black and clear eyes. At this moment, there was no hesitation or unwillingness in those eyes, and what was left was full of confidence and determination.

——Students of the command department should have such a straightforward and unscrupulous style of work!

Knox suddenly remembered: If General Ling Yu hadn’t secretly escaped from Rosen’s apartment because of his stubborn personality and was buried in that interstellar ruin, then his and Rosen’s children should be like Lin Yuan , is the best time.
