After Osborne left, the students also left the briefing one after another, leaving only the instructor team and Chief Regnitz and Major Claire to have a small meeting.
This is natural, because the situation this time is more complicated than any in the past.
No matter how much trouble Sasarant, Crossbell, and Lamar make, they are just associations and hunters. They are underground figures who cannot be seen in the light. They are only as powerful as they are strong. They are always far behind the Empire in terms of size.
This time the opponent is the Kalvard Republic, an old enemy that has been fighting with Erebonia for many years, and is also the only opponent in the continent of Semulia that can compete with the empire.
The two sides have been back and forth countless times, and they are very aware of how difficult the other side is.
Although they were just a group of secret agents, considering that the imperial government was fully preparing for the Midsummer Festival and was seriously short of manpower, even Claire, a veteran in countering enemy agents, did not dare to take it lightly.
Arranging drills and public security activities, letting students patrol, and assisting in gathering intelligence are just superficial words. What the government really wants to use are the real elites of Thorz, a group of experts at the master level and above.
Rean, Tova, and Nethar knew this clearly and did not hesitate. Not only did they promise to do a good job, but they also promised to help contact other combat forces in the base.
No matter how they feel about the government or the big shots above, the instructors are always loyal to the empire. No matter how violent the situation is in the country, it is an internal problem. Do Kalvard's agents want to cause trouble? Not to mention the doors, there are no windows!
The atmosphere inside the briefing room was harmonious, but outside the briefing room it was not so harmonious.
The competition between Class I and Class VII has been an open secret since the beginning of the semester.
"Kurt, you worked hard on the midterm exam."
Others said it was no problem, but Cedric, who was the first in this school year, said it was hard not to go - you work hard, but unfortunately you are still not as good as I think.
Not to mention that Ada, who ranked second in the academic year, said immediately: "I didn't expect that the average scores of Class VII and Class I would be the same."
Yes, same.
That's why I couldn't rise above Class VII.
Considering that Cedric has basically suffered under Rean's "hands" since he entered school, this tie is already very encouraging.
Moreover, several people selected for the public security activities in the main school are the elites of Class I. Just counting these few people, their grades are indeed much higher than those of Class VII. No wonder Cedric is so crazy.
"It's just that the difference between them is reflected in the average score."
"Now let's honestly appreciate their efforts."
"It's embarrassing and embarrassing to continue to be unclear. Should we use the results of this exercise to decide the outcome? For example, which side can catch more Republic agents?"
Even the most incompetent Altina and the most skillful Miao Jie are a little angry.
Altina: Are you sure you want to compete with us to catch agents?
Miao Jie: If I had known earlier, I would have killed you all if I had not deliberately controlled the points.
When it comes to academic ability, Miao Jie is the number one student in Thors, comparable to Emma's former academic god. It's just because of her status that she keeps a low profile, otherwise no matter how hard Class I works, it will be useless.
The gap in talent is really disappointing.
Of course, Cedric's request was impossible to agree to.
First of all, catching agents is not the main task.
Secondly, there are too many uncertain factors. After all, agents are not targets and are evenly distributed throughout the imperial capital.
Thirdly, and the most important thing. After all, they are all elite agents of the Republic, not to mention masters of covert maneuvers. There are more than 100 of them, and there are only a dozen students. Who is arresting whom?
Don’t be caught by the time, the crown prince is kidnapped, where will the empire’s face be?
However, all the members of Class I were very enthusiastic at the moment, and Class VII's calmness was regarded as cowardice by them. They even said that Class VII was "a bunch of rabble", and Yuna finally resisted the urge to go up and hit them.
It was at this time that Li En and others ended the meeting and walked out.
The students in Class I immediately shut up when they saw this. Cedric had the privilege to ignore the instructor, but the other students could not. They casually dropped a few words and left first.
They completely forgot that their instructor was still standing next to Li En, covering his face and not even looking.
On the contrary, Rean smiled and patted the shoulders of Kurt and Yuna who were standing at the front: "Well done."
Kurt exhaled and said nothing.
Yuna looked confused: "I...didn't do anything?"
"Just don't do anything. Problems will arise only if you accept the other party's provocation." Li En said with a smile. With his ability to perceive, he knew exactly what was happening outside.
"Who would fall for that low-level provoking method?" Yaxiu let out a disdainful snort.
"Eh? Is that so? I just think that such a big thing should be reported to the instructor." Yuna was stunned and subconsciously looked at Altina behind her, "What do you think of Yael?"
"As of the time I entered Thorz, I have arrested a total of 32 agents, including 17 agents of the Republic. No problem."
Altina spoke seriously, but it made the others break out in a cold sweat.
Are you serious?
Li En said hurriedly: "You should focus on the main task of the exercise first. I will handle the agent matter as appropriate."
A string of ellipses appeared above the students' heads.
"Instructor, won't you be with us this time?" Yuna's pronunciation of the word "you" was particularly strong.
"There's nothing we can do about it." Ya Xiu winked.
Miao Jie seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "What makes the instructor so popular recently? There are a group of enthusiastic fans wherever you go, especially female fans. Be careful of being eaten."
"Ah, that's why the instructor has to change clothes." Altina suddenly realized. Although the little cotton-padded jacket sometimes hurts her heart, most of the time she is still very considerate.
That's right, Rean changed his clothes, to be precise, he changed his look.
Just relying on the cover of glasses is no longer enough to suppress the presence of the sword master. In desperation, Rean can only change his favorite white windbreaker into a black outfit. In addition, the thunder and wind are completely cut off, leaving him without a sword.
, the probability of being recognized plummets, as long as you are not with the students.
After all, Thorz's school uniform is still very eye-catching. With this natural signature, no matter how you disguise it, it will be useless unless you use the cognitive distortion of Xiao Huan or the Witch.
Rean didn't want to rely too much on this ability. He also had something to deal with, so he took advantage of the situation and said:
"There is no need to worry. Even if I am not with you, I will not be too far away from you. I plan to go to the railway gendarmerie headquarters, intelligence bureau, security department, and relevant personnel of Kalejas with Major Claire and senior sister first.
Arrive at the scene for information integration and exchange. After that... I plan to visit the home."
Yuna from Crossbell, Miao Jie from Lamar, and Ash who was born in Hamel and transferred to Rackwell.
Except for the "Kuro no Kobo" which cannot be visited for the time being, there is only one person left who has not made a home visit.
"Kurt, you've been out for so long, it's time for you to go home."
Family is family after all, don't wait until you lose it and then regret it.
