"That's right."
Hearing what Rean said, Claire's face became more nostalgic.
The first time she met him and the old Class VII was two years ago, during the first special internship.
At that time, Rean was not as tall as he is now, and his shoulders were not as broad as he is now. He was still a young bird in every aspect.
"So I'm very happy and at ease." Li En's lips curved in a warm arc, "Similar internships, similar positions, but the difference is-"
"——I'm not the last one to arrive this time." Claire understood. "Indeed, this plan includes confirming the safety of the exercise site, and will be provided with logistical support by our Railway Gendarmerie. I will be with you as a liaison. Go to the scene. But you said one less thing."
"What is it?"
"Your position changed from student to instructor, from fledgling to protector."
"Major is reminding me to learn from Instructor Sarah, not to be overprotective, and to give them more opportunities to express themselves freely?"
"I didn't say that. If I have to say, being overprotective is not a good thing, but being too relaxed like Miss Sarah is not a good thing either."
"The requirements are so high."
"Because it's you, not classmate Li En, but instructor Li En."
Claire emphasized the emphasis on the word "instructor".
Li En knew what she meant and looked helpless.
Not only did Claire not try to persuade him, but she continued: "Come on, Instructor Rean."
"Major, please spare me, at least don't use this way of addressing me." Rean raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Haha." Claire couldn't help but laugh, and for the first time there was a brilliant taste on her face.
Li En saw this, and the stone hanging in his heart gently dropped.
The performance just now cannot be regarded as a performance, but there is also an element of deliberate guidance, just to make Claire happy.
After Caster's reminder, Rean has realized Claire's thoughts. Although she could only pretend not to know anything before she expressed something, how could Rean really pretend to know nothing.
The most irresistible thing to Rean is sincere treatment. Rean may not be able to fully accept Claire's sincerity, but he will never trample on it.
Not to mention that Claire herself had done nothing wrong. She had always done her best and helped him covertly and covertly.
Therefore, after noticing her complicated mood and the pressure she was under, Li En thought about what to do, at least not to put pressure on her.
So far, the effect is pretty good. After making Claire laugh, the relationship between the two became less formal and more casual. This state can only be found when they work together during the civil war.
No matter what the future holds, Rean hopes that Claire will be well, and presumably this is Osborne's idea as well.
When the atmosphere between the two was just right, a loud voice intervened.
"Ah, what are you two whispering about?"
Without looking at the person, Rean knew who it was. The voice was so familiar that he heard it many times every day - one of his students, Yuna Crawford.
"As I reminisce about the past, I will tell you about my first internship and subsequent internships." Rean did not hide anything. There was nothing shameful between him and Claire.
"Haha, I haven't seen Yuna for two months." Claire smiled at Yuna, not only because her mood improved, but also because of the kindness that can only be seen between acquaintances.
"At that time, I was really taken care of by instructor Claire." Yuna's attitude towards Claire was better than that of Rean. "At that time, she also saved me——"
"At that time?" Li En asked knowingly.
"No, it's nothing." Yuna turned her head awkwardly, "This is a girl's privacy, no prying is allowed."
"It was when I went to the Military Police School to be an instructor, and that's when I met Yuna." Claire explained in a low voice, "More details belong to Yuna's privacy, you can ask her."
Rean nodded on the surface, but said in his heart: No need to ask, I already know, including the fact that she didn't have enough credits to graduate, so you sent her to Thorz to get credits.
Yes, Yuna’s original intention to come to Thors was to take mixed credits, but she quickly integrated into the group, was positive, and studied hard. In essence, she has always been a good child, otherwise she would not have been favored by Claire - I think To impress Claire, seriousness is an indispensable factor.
"I haven't seen you, Lieutenant Orlando, for three months. Thank you very much for your willingness to assist the second branch."
After saying hello to Yuna, Claire turned her attention to Randy who came with Yuna. Among the few girls who worked hard with Randy was Yuna. Her strength in a single round was not much inferior to that of the boys.
"Actually, it's semi-forced." Randy scratched his head, "Don't worry, I'll finish the job I've been given, if you don't be so cruel."
"Well, I'll keep it in mind."
Claire is not so casual about Randy. After all, the positions of both parties are always hostile. She also contributed to suppressing the Crossbell opposition headed by the Special Agent Support Section.
"You are here, Major Leavitt."
Another person came over, it was Michael Irwin. Also accompanying him was Tova, the last member of the instructor team.
"Major Irwin, you have worked really hard for your work." Claire returned to her initial restraint when facing Rean, "I haven't seen Tova for a long time."
"Ah haha, it's been half a year since the NGO incident." Towa still smiled first when meeting everyone, and she was very friendly.
Compared with the always cold-faced Michael next to him, even greetings have to be interrupted day by day.
"Let's put aside the greetings for now. It's almost time. Where are the branch principal and the doctor? I don't think her special machine is loaded in the car."
"Because - there is no need!"
Say Alleria, and Alleria is here, along with consultant Dr. Schmidt.
"Long time no see, Your Excellency Alleria, Dr. Schmidt." Claire stood at attention and saluted.
"Humph, you're a girl from TMP." Schmidt was as unkind as ever.
"Long time no see, Miss Ice Maiden." Alleria said without losing her dignity, "Thank you for coming to deliver the car in person and accompanying them to the scene."
"I can't take it seriously." Claire will not show any slights to these two talents who are at the top of the empire in their respective fields.
"No, it's not too much. Principal, when you say that the machine does not need to be transported, you mean..." Mihail had a vague premonition in his heart.
The next second, the premonition came true, and Alleria said bluntly:
"Because it's not needed. Neither the doctor nor I will be attending this exercise."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed except for Li En.
Michael and Claire frowned, while Randy, Yuna and Tova looked confused.
Especially Tova and Michael.
"I wrote the plan based on the premise that the principals of the branches would work together."
"Please, please wait a moment. This is different from what was promised. We also included you when calculating the combat power on site."
Alleria was unmoved: "That's why I did this. As the saying goes, lions will deliberately push children down the valley. If I go with you, you won't be able to truly grow. And I have already informed the Intelligence Bureau first." .”
Dr. Schmidt was even more indifferent: "How will the local exercises help my research? I will leave all the application and recording work to the disciples, and I will do my best to assist everyone."
"Well." Knowing that the two of them had made up their minds, Mihail's face turned extremely ugly and he complained in a rare voice, "It sucks."
