The next morning, Sean woke up as usual. He yawned and saw a big man sitting on the bed opposite him from the corner of his eye. He was so frightened that he woke up on the spot.
When he saw clearly that it was Calvin, he patted his chest with some exhaustion, "...Why are you sitting here so early in the morning? Aren't you going to do morning exercises today?"
Calvin just looked at him quietly without answering.
Sean simply sat up and said, "...It's really rare to see you skip morning training."
"From today on, I will try to look at you every moment." Calvin said suddenly.
"ha?"
"Ms. Morley told me last night."
Sean raised his eyebrows slightly, "...why does that old woman always give me trouble?"
Calvin looked at Sean: "Did you do anything last night, Sean?"
"Me? What else can I do? I've been staying in the room." Sean jumped out of bed and walked towards the coffee machine not far away. He was wearing a white vest and dark blue loose shorts, and a pair of flip-flops under his feet, which made a tapping sound with every step.
After a while, the coffee machine started to work. Sean held the table with both hands and turned back to continue chatting with Gal. His eyes glanced at the square table not far away and suddenly noticed something different, "...where is my computer?"
"I put it away."
"Where did you take it?" Sean frowned, "...Why did you take my computer?"
"Fletcher will come over in a while," Calvin looked at Sean. "She will send your computer to the base order department for inspection. They suspect that you did something bad again last night."
Sean laughed: "Then go check it out. If you can still find it this time, I will lose."
"...You went to provoke that Hesta again, didn't you?"
"Fletcher told you?"
"No, I guessed it." Calvin sighed softly, "What are you thinking about, Sean, I reminded you, stay away from her."
"Please believe that I have fully considered your opinion, brother. I have been far enough away from her during this time."
"Then why-"
Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door. Sean looked sideways, answered "Coming", and slowly opened the door.
Liz Fletcher stood outside with a cold face.
"Good morning, Miss Fletcher." Sean bowed slightly to Liz, "You don't look very happy. Did you not sleep last night?"
"Step aside."
Liz strode in, and Calvin stood up and lifted a dark gray metal box from the bed, "Sean's computer, mobile phone, and several spare hard drives for daily use are here."
Liz counted them, "When did you collect them?"
"According to Ms. Morley's request, I put these things away after Sean fell asleep last night." Gal replied, "I did not inform him in advance, so the contents of the computer, mobile phone, and hard drive were He is still in the same state as he was before going to bed last night."
"Okay." Liz took the box, "Thank you for your cooperation... If a problem is found, your support will be regarded as Sean's surrender to a certain extent——"
Sean crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the wall, "Then if there is no problem, can I sue you for invading the students' privacy?"
Liz carried the box, walked up to Sean in two steps, grabbed the upper edge of his vest with one hand, and pushed him hard against the wall, "I checked your file... I know it's you."
"Then we need evidence. Miss Fletcher is about to change jobs. It's not right to bully a junior like this."
"I will find you out." Liz narrowed her eyes slightly, "You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands."
Sean spread his hands and made a helpless movement, and then was pushed aside by Liz. He took several steps back before barely standing still.
There was a "bang" sound at the door.
Sean smiled, lowered his head and pulled his vest that was deformed by Liz.
"I don't understand, Sean." Calvin stood there, looking at his somewhat embarrassed brother, "Why are you paying so much attention to that girl?"
"I also do not understand."
Calvin's brows furrowed, "...what?"
"I'm talking about you." Sean looked at him, "and everyone in this base - I don't understand why you people completely trust these training officers in the base not long after you arrived. They are watching over you. We have our training data and even measure the way we see the world...Have you never thought that one day these things might become a weapon against us?"
"Two years, not a long time," Calvin replied, "Ms. Morley is fair most of the time."
"Then do you believe that she will sincerely do it for you and us?"
Calvin paused for a moment, "I never have such extravagant expectations for other people. But many people in the base, Valenti, Morley, Lavitt, Weir... and even Fletcher, they all have the same relationship with He People in Kara are different, and you can’t always look at new people with the same old eyes.”
Sean clicked his tongue and shook his head, "...You are too young and too naive, my brother. The more you let your guard down like this, the less I can slack off. After all, I promised my mother to take good care of you."
Calvin scratched his head in confusion.
"Whatever you say... in short, I will never let you do anything wrong again."
…
"Do you want to make an appointment with Miss Chiba this week?"
In Ms. Morley's office, Morley's young secretary looked at Hesta with some surprise.
"Yes." Hesta nodded, "If possible, I would like to make an appointment this Thursday."
"Sorry... I don't have this authority for the time being. Although Miss Chiba is your guardian, she is also a restricted contact person. We usually cannot contact her at any time -"
"Can you help me convey this request to Ms. Morley?" Hesta asked softly, "She should have a way."
The young secretary was stunned for a moment, "Oh, of course... Do you want to wait here for her to come back? Ms. Morley has a meeting in the morning, and it is probably over by now."
"No, I have classes next." After Hesta answered, she did not turn around immediately. She looked at the floor hesitantly, "...I also want to ask you a question. Is it convenient now?"
"certainly"
"Can I... apply to carry a gun on base?"
The young secretary thought he heard wrong, so Hesta repeated it again. The secretary stood up on the spot, "I don't know why you have such an idea, Miss Hesta... But no, Tan Yi City is forbidden." In the gun zone, ordinary citizens do not have the right to bear arms, and non-order-of-combat members within the base are not allowed to bear arms."
"But I once saw an old leather gun holster in Liz's room?" Hesta asked quietly.
"Miss Liz has participated in several actual battles against chelates. She does have a gun, but it is only temporary." The young secretary looked at Hesta, "I...I understand your current mood, but please don't leave. If you go to extremes, this will not only fail to fundamentally solve the problem, but will also put you in greater trouble.”
Hesta mused.
"……I see, thank you."
