Tolista is a small city with less than 100,000 people. Within the empire, there are hundreds of small cities with tens of thousands of people.
Although Sparrow is small and well-equipped, it is a must-stop station on the continental transcontinental railway. Since Tolista was opened to the railway thirty years ago, it has taken advantage of the power of the guided train to increasingly expand the scale of the city. It originally connected 10,000 people
The small town with no people around it turned into a suburban city that is now regarded as one of the centers of the imperial capital.
There are also many gourmet restaurants in the emerging shopping street. The restaurant the group went to is the time-honored oriental restaurant "Tianhui" that has been open here for five years. They actually just sell barbecue, but Altina heard that
After Ling mentioned it, she always wanted to try it.
The lobby was already bustling with people when everyone walked in. Fortunately, Altina used Guidance Communications to place an order in advance for a private room early in the morning.
On the grounds that minors are not allowed to drink, Altina only ordered white grape juice and ball soda as drinks. Then there were thirty-two portions of the Eastern Continent’s specialty barbecue, one roast suckling pig, and one roasted whole cow.
It is seasoned with refreshing dishes such as salads. As for why she ordered it? Because it was a store she recommended, everyone assumed that she knew the place thoroughly.
When asked how to pay the bill, Altina mentioned Reinhardt's name.
"Don't worry. The instructor said that this meal will be charged to his account. The bill will be sent directly to him at that time."
In this way, everyone will have no psychological burden.
The food in this restaurant is very fast, and all the dishes are served within three minutes, because they are all ready-made popular dishes. Everyone relaxed quickly while eating and drinking.
"Speaking of which, although I already know everyone's names, I just know their names. Since the instructor said we need to 'run in', how about reintroducing ourselves? Let me go first, I am Emma Milstine.
17 years old. I was born in an ordinary family on the Tyrrhenian Plateau on the southwest border of the empire. My parents passed away relatively early, and I was raised by my grandmother. I am quite confident in my studies. What do you think of your studies?
You can come to me for difficult courses. However, I am a complete layman in martial arts. I heard that martial arts accounts for a large proportion of his compulsory courses at the Thorz Military Academy. I hope everyone can help me."
After Emma stood up and said to sit down, the second person to stand up was Machias.
"Emma still received the first place in the entrance examination with a full scholarship. But I will not lose in the academic competition. I am Machias Regnitz. I am 17 years old. I was born in the imperial capital Heimdall. Before
I was a little impulsive in the auditorium, and I hope everyone won't take it to heart. You may have heard from the instructor that my father is the governor of the imperial capital, but my father is my father, and I am who I am. His achievements and
I have nothing to do with it, so I am just an ordinary civilian."
"There is no need to emphasize that you are a civilian. None of us will mind."
Before Machias could sit down, Eusis stood up and said to him.
"You are right. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Machias finished speaking to Jussis, and then Jussis introduced himself.
"I am Jussis Elbarea, the younger brother of Rufus Elbarea. I am 17 years old. Other than that, there is nothing special to care about. I am just an ordinary military student like everyone else."
Patrick looked at Jussis's reaction and wondered when he and Machias had established a good relationship. Because his attention was focused on Emma and Rosinu, he didn't notice that they were lagging behind before.
Conversations with large troops.
"I am Patrick T. Haynes. I am 17 years old. I am the third son of the Marquis Haynes family, one of the four most famous families in the imperial aristocracy. I am quite proud of the family I was born into. Of course, I do not mean to show off here. I
It means that I will prove in the future that I, Patrick, am a man who will live up to the name of the Haines House."
His completely different style from Jussis's promoted himself. In fact, Patrick was a little uncomfortable with Jussis's choice of keeping a low profile. However, there must always be a leader on the aristocracy's side. Since Jussis didn't mean this, of course he would
Don't give in.
After Patrick's introduction, it was Rocinu's turn in a clockwise order.
"I'm Rosinu Scotti. I'm 16 years old. I was born in an ordinary farmer's family in Kruchen Prefecture. I can be regarded as a descendant of the Duke of Albarea's family. My family is the same as Emma's classmate. There is nothing special about my family. I hope
I can get along well with everyone in the future.”
Although the self-introduction was simple, the atmosphere when the beauty said it was very different. The boys' eyes were all focused on her, and it wasn't until Phyllis on her left coughed that everyone moved away in embarrassment.
sight.
"I am Phyllis, the second daughter of Count Florald. I am 17 years old. My brother Vincent is also a second-year student at the Thors Military Academy. My favorite things are Mira and lacrosse. In addition, I also play tennis.
Well played.”
After Phyllis finished her introduction, Josté next to her began to introduce herself.
"I am Jost Capua, the lord of Rivers, a suburban city on the west side of the imperial capital. I am 17 years old. I used to study at Astraea Girls' School in the imperial capital, but it was too boring there, so I rarely
When I had the opportunity, I made some connections and came here. Although I have inherited the title of Baroness of Capua, the territory is basically handed over to the deputy mayor, and I do not actually participate in the management. Besides, the territory is still managed by the deputy mayor.
This is Thorz who has no identity, so everyone should just treat me as an ordinary classmate."
"Eh!?" Most of the students in Class 7 were surprised by her identity. Including Patrick, Laura, and Rean, only Jussis, Phyllis, Miriam, and Arti
Insiders like Na, as well as foreigners such as Gaius, Fei, and Shelly, did not have any reaction to her identity.
"Josette, are you actually the lord of a city!? You didn't even tell me just now." Alyssa, who was sitting next to her, immediately asked.
"Actually, our Capua family also lost the territory of Rivers for a time. We finally got it back, but it is still subject to many restrictions. There are very complicated reasons for this. I can't finish them in one day. I will have the opportunity in the future.
Let’s tell Alyssa again.”
"It's a deal."
Others said it was impossible not to be curious, but under the looks of Jusis and Phyllis, everyone suppressed their curiosity.
"Alyssa Lane. 17 years old. I was born into a wealthy businessman in Nordia. I know a little bit about the empire's traditional equestrian skills and archery skills. In addition, I also know a little bit about the design of guided machinery and handicrafts. Apply for the exam.
Thors didn’t want to join the army, he just felt that being here might give me a completely different future, so let’s move forward together.”
After the girl finished speaking energetically, Rean and Phyllis clapped at the same time, which surprised Alyssa herself.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, because I think you spoke my mind." Phyllis replied.
Li En laughed sarcastically and did not answer.
Then there's Elliot.
"My name is Elliot Craig. I am 16 years old. My mother is the late performer Liana Craig. My sister Fiona is also a graduate of the Imperial College of Music. Originally, I also planned to play with
She also went to a music conservatory."
"It sounds like a very complicated reason," said Gaius, who was sitting next to Eliot.
"It was my father who was a soldier who forced me to apply for Thorsz. Originally, I thought I would definitely die, but now that I am with everyone, I feel that I can do it again."
"It's better to make your own decisions about your own affairs. Of course, I'm just suggesting." After speaking to his companions, Gaius then began to introduce himself, "Gaius Worzel, 18 years old. From the Nord Plateau.
As you can see, I am an international student. Because I have a letter of recommendation from General Sykes, I entered the school without taking the exam. The wind in the empire is different from that on the grassland, and it is also a new experience for me. I hope to be able to share my experience with you all.
Friendly."
After Gaius introduced him, it was Rean.
"I am Rean Schwartz, 17 years old. I was born in Yumir, a hot spring town on the northern border of the empire. Although I am barely considered a noble, I am actually just an adopted son. Well, in addition, I have a younger sister in the imperial capital.
School, speaking of which, classmate Josté, have you ever heard of Elysee’s name?”
"We are classmates who will get along day and night for the next two years, so just call me by my first name. Your sister Alice is very famous there. She is the vice-president of the student union in the middle school. The idol among the students, Gao
The flower of the mountain is different from a rude and non-aristocratic girl like me."
"Ah, that's it."
This was the first time for Li En to hear comments about his sister from others. When he heard Elysee's kind words, he unconsciously smiled.
"Well, in addition, I have been practicing martial arts with my master for seven years, and I am currently the "first pass" of the Eight Leaves One Sword Style. The Eight Leaves One Sword Style is a comprehensive school of oriental swordsmanship, so it has many styles with the knight swords here in the empire.
Difference. If it’s a point-and-click discussion, I won’t refuse.”
So far... Li En still chose his words very carefully. Because of the "power" hidden in his body, he never dared to go all out to liberate himself when he was not with Master Yun. He
He has vaguely felt that this has had a considerable impact on his progress, but he has not yet found a way to overcome it, so now he can only crawl forward cautiously.
"Laura S. Alcide, 17 years old. My family background is a viscount. I was born in Regram. Alcide's swordsmanship is "Zhongzhuan". Originally, my father also wanted me to go to Astraea.
I’m from a women’s college, but I heard that there are no martial arts courses there, so I thought it must not be suitable for me. I didn’t expect to meet such good instructors and good classmates here. Let’s move forward together on the road to seeking the truth.”
After Laura introduced herself, it was Shelly.
"Shelly Orlando. Age? She'll be 16 in a few days. Family background? Ah, she should be considered a very wealthy 'commoner'. The chain club "Noël Brown" is owned by my family, but in the trust
Lista doesn’t seem to have any chain stores. If I have a chance to go to the Imperial Capital, I can take everyone there.”
Regarding Shelly's introduction, Laura felt something was wrong, but she didn't raise any questions. Since the other party didn't want to talk, she had no reason to ask.
"Fei Clausel. 15 years old. Ordinary family. Commoner. I am the "first generation" of Hamel style, and instructor Reinhardt is my uncle."
Since she didn't ask Shelly, Laura naturally didn't ask Fei either. She could feel a similarity between the two of them, but she couldn't be sure what it was.
In the end, the only ones who haven't introduced themselves yet are the two sisters who appear to be the youngest.
"I am Miriam, Miriam O'Lane. My physical age is about 15 years old? Well, let's just think of it like that. My identity is the beautiful girl of mystery! Clang, clang, clang!"
Although the childish face did not look like she was fifteen years old, and her words were also a bit nonsensical, which made people wonder if she was really introducing herself seriously. The result was another blow on the back of the head, and then both hands
He held his head and looked at his sister with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry that my careless sister has caused trouble to everyone. I am Altina O'Lane, 14 years old. We were born in the Mirshanti area of Lamar State. So far, we have all been affiliated with
Imperial Military Intelligence Agency, I am the special agent second lieutenant "Black Rabbit". She is the special agent captain "White Rabbit". More details are related to the mission, so please allow us to keep it confidential. But like everyone else, we come to Thorz to enjoy life.
...Ahem, correction, those who come to Thors to learn knowledge. Please don’t mind us. After all, this is Thors’ Class 7 regardless of status. Just treat us as ordinary classmates.”
Altina quickly finished the information about herself and Miriam at a reading speed.
"Ah, Ya-chan, how could you say that!"
"Rather than hiding it, it's better to confess directly, otherwise your future actions will inevitably reveal your flaws. This way, you can gain the trust of your classmates faster."
After bending down to everyone, Altina sat down with Miriam, then took the skewers in front of her and started to enjoy them in small bites.
"I always feel like I heard something that cannot be ignored." Jussis frowned slightly. He heard rumors about the Intelligence Bureau. The Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau was actually under the command of Prime Minister Osborne. And Osborne was related to the nobles.
The leader of the opposing reformist faction... Although Osborne himself also holds the title of earl. In short, it is difficult for him not to think too much about their identities.
"Such a young kid is actually a member of the Intelligence Bureau..." Machias had a completely different reaction. The thoughts that flashed through his mind were no less than those of Jussis, but he noticed that other people really didn't think so.
The identity of the Orion sisters was at heart. He and Jussis looked at each other and decided not to delve into it for the time being.
"Altina, are you really fourteen years old?" No matter how Alyssa looked at her, she looked like she was only about twelve years old. No, in fact, when Alyssa was twelve years old, she was older than Altina.
It's much higher.
"Please think of me as fourteen years old. Besides, I can still grow taller. Really!"
When it comes to the topic of height, her tone is not as cold as at the beginning.
"Ya-chan can grow taller, so of course I can grow taller too. Hmm." This was Miriam who came over to join in the fun.
Everyone ate and drank, each talking about his or her own business. Not only were they chatting about their ideals and ambitions, but they were also having fun together very quickly.
Even though Altina didn't order any alcoholic drinks, the boys and girls were still a little bit intoxicated.
There are guessing games, mind games, chess, and the card game "Blade".
Fortunately, everyone remembered that instructor Reinhardt said that he would go to morning training at 7 o'clock the next morning, so it was not too late.
Back to the dormitory with Gaius Elliot arm in arm, Rean did not expect that on the first day he came to Thors, he would experience an experience that he had never tasted in his life before.
