Whether it's a treat or a cocktail party, they are all sideshows and cannot be compared with the serious business.
The hands of the clock turned three o'clock, and the combat briefing officially began - as it should be, because instructor Michael is an obsessive-compulsive disorder who takes his work very seriously and is extremely sensitive to time. Normally, he will remind him if there is a second difference.
But this time it was uncharacteristic. A minute had passed, and he was still motionless. The branch principal Alleria beside him also closed her eyes slightly, as if she was concentrating with her eyes closed, which made Tova and Randy very strange.
"that--"
"It's already past the time. Why don't you start the briefing?"
"Haha, don't worry." Alleria opened her eyes, "'Special Training Course', even I don't know the details, except for the chief instructor over there and the contact person who will come over later."
"I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting." Mihail apologized on his behalf.
The identity of the contact person who can make him adopt this attitude is already obvious. It is either the "Railway Gendarmerie" to which Mihail belongs or the "Intelligence Bureau" which is closely related to the "Railway Gendarmerie".
Of course, Rean already knew who was coming, so he didn't say anything. He just looked at the door quietly, waiting for a familiar voice to sound.
"Sorry, have you waited for a long time?"
Tova and Randy immediately turned their heads. Not only was Rean familiar with this voice, they were also familiar with it.
The next moment, the door was pushed open and a man and a woman walked in.
The man is in his twenties, with short red hair and a lazy smile. Although he is wearing a red and black dress that can be worn in the palace at any time, there is not much nobility, but a different kind of laziness and freedom.
The woman looks to be about the same age as Altina, with blue hair, wearing a sweatshirt that is easy to move around, and a hat of the same style on her head, with two silly hairs sticking out from the brim, making it even more cute.
When he saw this girl, Rean finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and called out the girl's name: "Miriam!"
"Long time no see, Rean." The girl smiled and bumped her head.
It's not a wrong description, it's really a collision.
Other girls use gentle blows to express intimacy, but this girl's force is not heavy, starting with a "rocket headbutt" force.
If Li En hadn't been practicing martial arts since childhood and had an excellent fighting skills, he really wouldn't have been able to stop her from hitting him.
Rean and other classmates from the old Class VII talked to her about this, but she just didn't listen.
But now Rean won't talk about her anymore, because seeing Miriam alive and kicking like this is more important than anything else.
Miriam, whose full name is Miriam Orion, looks like she is related to Altina.
Like Altina, she is also an Orion series cyborg, with a number one before Altina, so she always considers herself to be her older sister. Affiliated to the Intelligence Bureau, codenamed 'White Rabbit', he is also a member of the old Class VII. He is one of Rean's important companions and the biggest pain before his rebirth.
In Osborne's plan, Altina was originally to be used as a sacrifice to forge the "Sword of the End", but at the last moment, Miriam pushed Altina away and became a sacrifice herself. He sacrificed his life in front of Rean and all his companions.
Rean was already in a bad state at the time, and after seeing this scene, he went completely crazy and turned into a sane evil spirit who could only run wild. He was not rescued until dozens of days later by the concerted efforts of his companions.
It's just that Li En came back, but the life he lost didn't come back. Although her consciousness was still attached to the "Sword of the End" and she accompanied Rean and his companions to fight together, in the end, she still failed to change back to her original form and could only leave Sem with Rean as the sword. Leah fell into eternal sleep.
She was the one who was ridiculed by the mysterious being as "the wife who kills others."
Feeling the pain between his chest and abdomen due to the impact, Li En determined whether the girl in front of him was a living being or a naughty child full of energy and giving people headaches.
He obviously has a character that can't stop for a moment, but in the end he was imprisoned by that "Sword of the End". Rean's nose couldn't help but feel sore when he thought about it.
"Rean, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are a little red. Did you not sleep?" Miriam noticed something was wrong and raised her head to look into Rean's eyes.
"Yes." Rean nodded and followed her words, "I chatted with Elliot too late last night. I also went to the Imperial Capital in the morning, so I was a little sleep deprived."
Miriam slapped her head in annoyance: "You went to the Imperial Capital in the morning? I told you earlier. If I had known earlier, I would have come with you without waiting for Lector. I have another mission next week, and I don't know what the next meeting will be. when."
"We will definitely see you again soon, definitely, I think we will definitely see you again within two months."
Rean naturally stretched out his hand to help Miriam straighten the hat that had been tilted due to the "rocket headbutt", and at the same time quietly tested.
"Two months is too long," Miriam complained.
This answer also allowed Rean to confirm the fact that Miriam did not come back with him, because the next time the two met would be two months later.
But that’s okay, not having that painful memory is actually a good thing for Miriam.
I won't let you die this time, Miriam. Even if I die, I won't let you become like that.
Miriam didn't know what Rean was thinking. She was still immersed in the joy of meeting her old classmates and chattering.
"I almost forgot to congratulate you on your graduation, Rean. Speaking of which, have you grown a lot taller?"
"Haha, it's only about five miles away. Miriam hasn't changed at all. It's great to see you so energetic."
A year and a half ago, Rean's height was 173cm, and now he is 178cm, which is normal for men during their growth period.
And according to the standards of men in the empire, Rean is almost average, definitely not high. The other two male ***, Michael and Randy, are both taller than Rean.
As for Miriam, she is an artificial human. She cannot meet human standards. It cannot be said that she does not grow at all, but her growth rate is much slower than that of humans.
Maybe it was because the two of them had been reminiscing about old times for a long time, but Randy started whistling again.
After the two of them looked over, they put their heads in their hands and showed a look that was half meaningful and half nostalgic, as if they were remembering big things that happened in the past.
Tova from behind smiled and waved: "Ahaha. Miriam, long time no see."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The red-haired young man who came with Miriam couldn't stand it anymore, "Long time no see, Shu Huaze, although I didn't expect to see you here. Really, it went so smoothly. We found a compromise."
"I don't understand what the major is talking about at all." Li En pretended to be stupid, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
PS: Thanks to Alliance Leader Stigma Kevin for the reward. Because I didn’t sign the contract at the time, I rewarded another book. Now I have signed the contract, so I can reward here. However, the update frequency will not change. After all, the trajectory is It's a really niche subject. If I can sign a contract, the editor will see that I am a modern light novel, original two-dimensional, and the first signed author in the earliest fandom area. Give me some face.
