Robert, the dean, simply packed up the documents at hand, then stood up from his seat and walked towards the sofa.
"I came to you because I wanted to talk about this competition." Branch Director Robert said as he sat down.
He looked at Charlotte with dark brown eyes: "The friendly competition between the North and South Military Academies. I see that you submitted an application to participate. You should know the general situation, right?"
Regarding his question, Charlotte had already predicted it, and said without changing her expression: "I know a little bit."
Director Robert nodded and continued: "You should be an alternate for this competition."
He seemed to be announcing something that had been decided long ago and would not be changed. His firm tone seemed to leave no room for negotiation.
At this point, Charlotte's expression was a little unexpected.
However, she still didn't say much.
Since the branch dean specially called her here, he would not just tell her one result.
Anyone can convey the results, right? There is no need for the dean to declare it personally.
Now that everyone has come to the office, he must have something else to say.
Seeing Charlotte looking at him without saying a word, Dean Robert looked at her twice.
This kid has been very measured since he came in.
Although she didn't say much, the way she looked at him wasn't just a casual look, but like an eagle catching its prey, it was full of scrutiny.
Now, when I suddenly heard him say that he wanted her to be a substitute, under normal circumstances, I would have to ask a few questions.
However, she didn't ask a question.
It's not that I'm not curious, but I'm sure he will explain and explain.
Calm, composed, keen in observation, and strong in analytical skills... In just this moment, Robert made a preliminary judgment about Charlotte.
He has always judged people very accurately and has a very sophisticated eye.
Thinking of his true intention, Robert felt more and more that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement, and she was completely competent.
"You were not included in this year's mecha branch's candidate list at the beginning, and I never considered you." Branch Dean Robert said again, "However, Dean Poolwell and Professor Adolf have seen your simulation Training, they added you to the list of candidates.”
Charlotte didn't know what he was talking about, but she didn't feel overjoyed because of it.
Because Charlotte knew that based on her strength, she should indeed be put on the candidate list.
This time, Charlotte finally spoke: "So, the branch dean is not satisfied with my performance? Can I get a chance to prove myself?"
In Charlotte's view, if both Dean Poolwell and Professor Adolf were very optimistic about her, then under such circumstances, it would be a very unreasonable decision for Branch Dean Robert to still arrange for her to be an alternate.
She thought maybe it was because she had never shown her strength in front of him.
But no matter what, this decision shouldn't be made so hastily. At least she should be given a chance to show off.
After all, Branch Dean Robert is a veteran. He has already figured out Charlotte's thoughts.
"You should have inquired about my employment style and know that I never select fourth-year players to participate in competitions. What's more, you are only in your second year at Gworth, and you are not within the scope of my consideration." He said with certainty.
Robert continued: "You are not stupid. From the beginning, you did not intend for me to take the initiative to select you. Instead, you planned to use a roundabout way to win the competition opportunity given by the college level."
As for other details, there is no need to go into details.
After all, in the view of Branch Dean Robert, the intention had been gradually clear from the time Charlotte submitted her application for the competition.
After being the branch dean for so many years, Robert is very familiar with the routine procedures of various competitions.
And as far as he knew, the child Charlotte was regarded by all the teachers in the Mecha Branch as a model top student who was diligent and studious.
In addition, her nominal master, Gusta, was not afraid to go against him as the branch dean.
In this way, at the discussion meeting among the contestants, everyone will inevitably have conflicting opinions regarding the child Charlotte.
According to the competition process, he needs to submit the situation to the superiors of the college, and then wait for the superiors to arrange a day for the competition.
The dean pointed out his intention so pointedly, but Xia Luo didn't feel any embarrassment. This was not a shameful plan.
But then, she heard the straightforward words from Robert's branch director: "Don't go to such trouble. I have personally seen your training and fully understand your strength, so I will be a substitute this time."
This time, Charlotte was even more confused.
As the branch dean, it is not unusual for Robert to have the authority to view relevant surveillance videos in the training facility.
What really puzzled her was that he insisted on such a backup arrangement even though he was fully aware of her strength.
Why? Why does she have to be a substitute?
Charlotte didn't think that someone who could become a branch dean would be so stubborn and ignorant of flexibility.
She has already proven her strength to him, why would he make such an arrangement?
Charlotte didn't remember that she had offended the branch dean, and he had no reason to be against her, a little-known student.
Charlotte looked directly at Robert. This time, she asked her doubts.
"I don't understand." She said simply.
Robert looked at her seriously, with no smile on his face. Instead, he asked Charlotte: "What? Are you not happy to have you as an alternate? Do you think you deserve to be the first and should be a representative in the competition?"
Since he has said it so straightforwardly, of course Charlotte will not hide it.
She'll do it when it's time to do it, and she won't just be self-effacing.
"I do deserve to be number one, and the dean should be very clear about this." Charlotte looked back without dodge, "Those who are capable work hard, I think this is the normal approach. "
She did not directly comment on Branch Dean Robert's arrangements, but the attitude in her words fully explained her point of view.
Branch Dean Robert has been the head of the Mecha Branch for so many years, and he has always spoken with great authority.
However, Charlotte dared to look him face to face, and her eyes did not flinch at all.
In the contest between the two of them, she didn't lose at all.
It is not easy for a young child to not lose even half a point in terms of momentum.
Branch Dean Robert did not feel that Charlotte was arrogant or rude, nor was he the type of character that had to be dominated by him.
Based on the conversation between the two of them so far and her various behaviors, Branch Dean Robert can probably guess Charlotte's character, and therefore can also understand her actions and words.
