Song Qi lowered his voice: "You can leave early."
Qiao Yu glared at Song Qi: "No."
Song Qi grabbed Qiao Yu's arm. Her arm was so thin that Song Qi had the illusion that she could break it with just a little force.
"Everyone's watching."
"I care about my classmate. If you have any problems, I can give you a massage."
Although Song Qi said that, Qiao Yu still pulled his hand away: "No! Besides, I came here to train myself, so don't try to give me special treatment."
Song Qi: ...
Qiao Yu's gaze was firm, while Song Qi felt somewhat helpless.
The cafeteria had prepared the food in advance, all specially prepared by a nutritionist. To be honest, the taste wasn't very good, but students were required to finish it all, so they had no choice but to eat it despite their reluctance.
For the next few days, Song Qi didn't go to see Qiao Yu. She would only occasionally glance at the training ground from afar, afraid that if she went there, she would be unable to resist carrying Qiao Yu away.
But I'm itching to go.
"You're not allowed to cause trouble at the training ground." Ye Sui could tell what Song Qi was thinking just by looking at her.
Song Qi gave Ye Sui a look and tapped the table.
It would have been better at school. Although the time we spent together was short, at least we could hug. Now...
There were surveillance cameras everywhere. She had even boasted to others about how great her base was, but no matter how much she planned, she never expected that it would ultimately protect her.
After a week of not showing up, Song Qi finally went on the eighth day.
When they arrived, they were having a mech battle.
There were only three people left before Qiao Yu arrived. She was already a little nervous, but she became even more nervous after seeing Song Qi.
Although she studies mechs, that's all she does; her operational skills aren't particularly strong.
Song Qi casually found a spot to stay, without going forward, and just watched from a distance. The people fighting noticed Song Qi's presence and became even more serious, and a battle that was about to end was inexplicably prolonged.
Everyone waited for Song Qi to say something, but Song Qi didn't say a word.
Song Qi didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to look at his wife, but he didn't dare to stare at Qiao Yu, he only dared to steal a glance.
Life is too hard; I can't even openly look at my wife as she grows up.
It's Qiao Yu's turn.
Qiao Yu's opponent was a popular figure among the students. When Song Qi heard someone shouting "One minute to settle it," she frowned and glanced at the people making the fuss.
Perhaps sensing Song Qi's chilling gaze, those people silently shut their mouths.
Qiao Yu made the first move.
Song Qi glanced at the techniques she had taught Qiao Yu. She actually knew them all, but she couldn't grasp the timing. Ultimately, it was because she lacked practical experience.
She held on for two minutes.
However, even two minutes seems like a long time to others.
When Qiao Yu came out of the mecha, he had his head down and looked particularly dejected.
“The first place winner can fight me,” Song Qi said.
Qiao Yu glanced at Song Qi. After talking with Song Qi last time, she had worked even harder. Although she said it but didn't mean it, she still wanted to beat Song Qi's friends. Not all of them, but at least one of them. But now it seemed that this was an impossible task.
She can't even beat an ordinary student.
Because the first one can fight Song Qi, the rest of the people don't need to work too hard.
Song Qi didn't use her own mecha; her mecha's performance was far superior to these training mechas, which was really unfair.
Faced with someone who wasn't Qiao Yu's student, Song Qi felt even less compassion.
It didn't feel like a battle; it felt more like a one-sided beating, with the victim having to listen to Song Qibing's icy voice while being attacked.
"Too slow."
"Find my weakness."
"Is there a flaw on my side?"
"You've lost your composure."
"Is this the level of the top student in your junior year?"
When he came out of the mech after defeating that person, he was pale and almost vomited. He had been tossed around in the air by Song Qi several times and couldn't find his way at all.
"You're already dizzy? Is this how you train to resist dizziness?" Song Qi frowned. "I was planning to take you out for real combat in the last half month, but now it seems there's no need for that."
"From now on, students will have one more sparring session every day. Ye Sui, you will spar with them for ten minutes each day and see how many students you can beat at most. After the students go back, I will summarize their shortcomings, and then Ye Sui, you will count the students who cannot beat four students in ten minutes and have those students come to me for extra training."
student:……
Ye Sui and the soldiers who followed along as bystanders: ...
After Song Qi finished speaking, he left, leaving a group of people looking at each other.
Over the next few days, the students realized how far they were from Song Qi and his group. Even the worst student could beat five people in ten minutes, while the top students could beat eight. They were so badly beaten that they became depressed. However, after summarizing their experiences, they found that they had made significant progress.
"Are you sure you don't need me to massage you?"
Qiao Yu looked at the person standing at the toilet door, somewhat speechless, and lowered his voice: "What are you doing here?"
"There are no security cameras in the toilets."
Qiao Yu: ...
"You know what? When you came out from over there and started talking to me, you acted like a complete freak."
Song Qi put her arm around Qiao Yu's waist and said, "I missed you so much. If there weren't so many surveillance cameras, I would have gone straight to your dorm."
There are four people inside!
"They won't be able to find me."
Qiao Yu raised his hand and pinched Song Qi's waist hard: "Perverted behavior."
"Tsk." Song Qi kissed Qiao Yu's lips.
"Stop messing around, I'm going back. I've been out for a long time."
Just as Song Qi was about to speak, she heard footsteps getting closer and closer, and immediately released Qiao Yu's waist.
It's a perfectly legitimate relationship, but it's being made to look like an affair.
"Yuyu? Why are you so slow?"
As the man turned the corner, he saw Song Qi washing his hands and Qiao Yu, whose face was flushed.
"marshal."
"Okay." Song Qi nodded. "Train hard."
Song Qi wiped his hands and left the bathroom, then heard the conversation between the two girls behind him.
Why is your face so red? Did the marshal scold you?
Song Qi: ...
"It's nothing, they just said a few words to me. I'm naturally thin-skinned."
"I've noticed that the Marshal really likes to look for you. She looked for you when she went to the school last time, and then she helped you when we went to the cafeteria before, and now she's talking to you again."
“Yeah.” Qiao Yu smiled. “Maybe it’s because I’m too naive.”
"You're so pitiful." The girl who spoke shook her head. "When I saw her on the personal terminal, she was my idol. Now, here, she feels like a devil."
"It's alright," Qiao Yu said with a smile. "It's okay to have high expectations. After all, once we're on the battlefield, no one will give us any leeway."
"That's true."
Song Qi stood not far away until the two people's footsteps faded into the distance before leaving.
Back in the office, she saw Ye Sui sitting on the sofa. Even though it was a lifelike person, her expression shouldn't have been so realistic, but she still saw the accusation in Ye Sui's eyes.
"what?"
"Why do you never consult with us before making decisions?"
"Haven't I always been like this?"
Ye Sui opened his mouth.
That does seem to be the case. I was pretty much used to it before, but after spending a long time in another world and coming back, I suddenly feel uncomfortable again.
"I probably won't be stationed on the frontier for long afterward. Is there any problem with cleaning up the surrounding space pirates before I leave?"
“I disagree with letting the students go over there.”
"The school and the parents have already agreed."
"The risk is too great. What if something happens to the students..."
“It’s normal for people to live and die on the battlefield. They won’t be assigned to any particularly risky positions.” Song Qi tossed a bottle of water to Ye Sui. “We just want them to see what a real battlefield is like. If they can’t handle it, they should change their major as soon as possible.”
"Having a spirit of sacrifice is one thing, but seeing the real situation is another."
Ye Sui stared at Song Qi for a while.
“That’s how I got here.” Song Qi tapped the table. “If you can’t go to the battlefield and you can’t overcome your fear, then there’s no point in continuing.”
With only twenty days left in the training, Song Qi announced the news. All the students were divided into three teams and joined different teams. The specific tasks would be arranged by the team leaders.
Their target this time was a small, newly formed interstellar pirate group. Song Qi hadn't even prepared to send anyone out on such a small scale. The overall commander was another of Song Qi's subordinates, and if he performed well in these operations, she planned to promote him.
Song Qi had never been so eager to retire.
In order to smoothly step down to the second line, she needs to bring in the right people. If nothing unexpected happens, she and Qiao Yu will still have to be apart for a while.
The task has a ten-day timeframe, which is a rather tight timeframe for the students.
Qiao Yu went along too, and this time Song Qi hardened his heart and didn't give her anything special.
He just waited for her to return at the base.
"I'm sure it's a low-risk interstellar pirate." Song Qi tapped the table.
Ye Sui nodded: "Yes, you've asked many times already. According to the information that's been sent back so far, there haven't been any problems. You can relax."
"But I have a feeling something's going to happen," Song Qi said, rubbing his temples. "What's the situation with the other space pirates?"
"Everything is normal." Ye Sui looked down at the screen.
Song Qi tapped on the table, his tapping speed increasing: "Who is Qiao Yu with?"
"Wei Shuang, they are responsible for patrols and support. Here is the group information." Ye Sui pulled up the information and sent it to Song Qi.
Song Qi stared at the string of names above: "I suddenly regret it a little."
"Um?"
"I've never been this nervous, not even when I'm piloting a mech and running around in a crowd of enemies."
Ye Sui didn't want to talk, his expression blank, he didn't want to listen anymore: "I'm leaving first."
"Mm." Song Qi nodded.
For the next few days, Song Qi never left the control room, constantly observing the students' situation, especially Qiao Yu's.
Every time I see news about Qiao Yu and his team encountering pirates, my heart skips a beat.
Song Qi felt that his heart rate wouldn't be able to come down anytime soon.
On the ninth day, when Qiao Yu and his team were returning after completing their mission, they were ambushed.
The group that ambushed them was Sirius, the second largest interstellar pirate organization in the universe. Most of its members were intelligent creatures, and they were a cunning pirate group that would shoot and then move on.
