Just like the first internship, I didn’t go to rest and recharge immediately after getting in the car. Instead, I concentrated on meeting in the briefing room.
Unlike last time, the atmosphere this time was a bit solemn.
The main reason was that Mihail made trouble as soon as he came up and asked Randy to go out as little as possible during this exercise, let alone contact those old acquaintances.
Of course, this is not Michael's arbitrary decision, but an informal request from the government, which is to say a hint and an unspoken rule.
Tova immediately expressed her objection.
Before Rean came back, his reaction was even more violent than Tova's, and he slapped the table, but now he understands it more or less.
Because this is indeed a safe approach, from the perspective of the imperial government.
Randy, the Special Agent Support Section behind him, and a series of related people are all reactionaries and destabilizing elements who openly and secretly resist the empire and seek the independence of Crossbell.
If this group of people hadn't had such high prestige in Crossbell, and killing them rashly or disappearing would easily cause trouble, the imperial government would never have kept them until now.
Getting Randy to work as an instructor in Thorz also involves various considerations, such as house arrest, surveillance, and hostage coercion. Under such a background, it is strange to let you wander around the base camp, especially this time there is a VIP inspection of the highest standard. The delegation came to inspect.
Randy obviously knew this very well and acted very relaxed all the time, and in turn comforted others.
As a result, Mihaier felt a little embarrassed, and vaguely hinted that he would try to find a way on the last day to see if he could get permission to go out, or maybe be sent out to relax in the name of a mission.
This can be regarded as a characteristic of Mihail's character. He likes to say ugly things first and abide by the rules, but he will try his best to consider others within the scope of the rules - but this method sounds more difficult to accept.
Rean also gradually understood his character after spending a long time together. He no longer raised strong objections at the beginning, but waited for him to finish what he said and thought about it carefully before giving a reaction.
For example, this time, instead of pounding the table, he helped the two of them come up with ideas: We should act together, drag the students along, and have a group activity or something in the name of the school. It should be fine.
When he mentioned this, Randy suddenly became energetic:
Let’s organize a trip to Mithulam Amusement Park. If time and budget are insufficient, I recommend Almorica Village. Unfortunately, I have to bring students, otherwise I have better places to go.
When Li En saw Randy's expression, he had a smirk on his face and twinkling eyes. He looked very similar to someone. Based on Randy's usual style, he probably guessed where he wanted to go. A basin of cold water was poured on his head:
“It’s better to avoid places like Happy Street that are not suitable for minors.”
Randy: "How do you know?"
A sentence of self-exposure instantly made Tova and Mihail's expressions turn cold.
These two are serious people and have a natural repulsion towards such romantic places.
"I think we should be more cautious."
"Instructor Randy is better off staying in the camp."
Randy: "..."
Why can't I control my bad mouth?
But how could Rean react so quickly? Is it possible - hum!
Just say whatever you want, and Randy will immediately cause trouble.
Unfortunately, it was of no use. The reason why Rean ran to Happy Street was because Lecter, the docking person at the time, liked to run to Happy Street. Rean had no choice but to follow him for the mission.
Altina can testify that Rean was still troubled by her problems at that time. It's not appropriate for you to bring her to that kind of place, but she has objections if you don't bring her.
In view of Rean's good reputation, Tova and Mihail believed it without much thought. The attempt to divert trouble to the east failed, and Randy's image in the eyes of the two people temporarily plummeted. He fell to the bottom and was no longer a pervert or a scumbag. Not much.
The topic also turned back to business from this aspect - tomorrow's task arrangements.
There's really not much to say in this regard.
As is the old rule, Class VIII's Tactical Section and Class IX's Chief Accounting Section are centered around the camp and conduct actual combat drills with mecha soldiers, while Class VII's Special Agent Section conducts regional patrols and local contributions, which are the miscellaneous tasks that everyone is accustomed to.
Tova and Randy are going to assign tasks after the meeting, and will start the formal drill when they get up tomorrow morning.
Rean had no formal arrangements. Instead, he would convene a meeting with students after arriving at the destination and then start the exercise mission.
Considering that it was too early to take a break, Rean patrolled the car as usual, chatting with the students.
He talked to Altina about his past time as a temporary military attache in Crossbell, and also talked about the current Governor of Crossbell, Rufus Albarea.
After hearing what Kurt said about Crossbell and his past with Cedric, he expressed great envy of the unbreakable bond between his brother Mulla and the first prince Oribat.
It is worth mentioning that both of them expressed a certain degree of concern about Yuna's current situation, but they didn't know how to solve it.
On the contrary, Yuna herself looked very energetic, and even volunteered to tell Rean that she would lead the way.
However, no matter whether it was before or after she came back, Li En could tell that she was just forcing a smile, and that she had been suppressing some emotions in her heart.
But before this emotion breaks out, it doesn't make much sense to say anything or do anything. She must let it burst out before there is room for explanation. Just like Cedric couldn't help but ran over to Rean, and was analyzed by Rean. One by one, he broke through his blindness.
Rean could only wait, even though he knew the process would cause Yuna pain.
You can only get rid of the inner depression by yourself. Everything external is just an aid. If you can't figure it out, it's useless even if you yell in his ear.
If you talk enough, it will be useful. Rean has been a sword master for a long time. All the truths have been explained by the sword master before he was ten years old.
Of course, Rean would not just watch and do nothing. He told Altina and Kurt to spend more time with Yuna, and there were other preparations for the follow-up.
Not only students from Class VII, but also students from other classes will chat with each other when they meet. For example, when Ash stopped him from talking about Happy Street, it is not without reason that he and Randy have a good relationship. The two are very similar in many aspects. .
By the time Rean completed his circle, Randy had finished his work and returned to the room.
While wiping the coffee stains on his mouth, he shook his head: "Although the coffee made by Santi is not bad, I still like wine. It would be really uncomfortable if I don't drink some before going to bed."
"Take it." Without saying a word, Rean took out a bottle of unlabeled red liquid from his backpack.
"No, why do you carry this with you?" Randy was stunned.
Li En didn't answer, but just said: "Cheer up after drinking. One bottle shouldn't affect your condition tomorrow."
"Of course not! Although I can't compare with the branch principal, I am also quite good at drinking."
Randy took the wine bottle confidently, sucked in and out his fighting spirit, and sucked out the cork. With a skillful technique, he blew on the bottle happily.
"Good wine, the type I like... Also, thank you for your trouble, Rean."
Despite his usual slovenly and careless appearance, Randy is actually very thoughtful. No matter how well you behave in front of others, how can you not feel uncomfortable when you suffer such unfair treatment?
I went to the restaurant to drink coffee with the intention of relaxing my mood.
Li En also knew this, so he specially prepared wine.
"It's just a small matter. If you don't mind, tell me about the Support Section. Although I have read the files, they are incomparable to your experience."
"Well, that's really enough for three days and three nights." With the wine, Randy's interest was much higher.
"Then let's talk slowly. If we can't finish it this time, we'll continue talking next time we have a drink."
"Okay, let's start from the day the Support Section was established. In the beginning, we weren't taken seriously at all - really, I won't lie to you.
The police department looks down upon us and treats us as the most fringe department. When faced with the same case, they told us to get out. When they were short of people, they said they wanted support, but they actually asked us to do odd jobs.
The citizens also regard us as inferior imitators of the Guerrilla Association and are unwilling to give us commissions..."
PS: At the beginning, the support department is indeed the most grassroots. There is no way to do it. Li and Ai both have strong backgrounds.
