Chapter 153 Common Enemy



After leaving the fighting gym, Zhang Fan disappeared for two days. No one knew where he went, and there was no information about him when the school gate's entry and exit records were checked.

In other words, he is still somewhere within the academy, but neither noble students nor commoner students can find him.

These two days happened to be the weekend, so Zhang Fan's temporary disappearance did not cause too much of a stir in the academy. However, the ripples caused by this competition only began to spread within the academy in the last two days.

According to the wager of the contest, Alice, who lost the contest, had to work as Zhang Fan's maid, cleaning for a day in Class 1, Grade 3 of the F Training Camp.

However, Alice ultimately did not come to clean. She was a princess of the Charles family, and it was impossible for her to lower herself to do things that only lowly servants would do.

It would be easy to send a servant to clean Class 3-1, but that doesn't comply with the rules of the contest. Alice has to clean herself to complete the bet. If she doesn't, she'll remain Zhang Fan's servant.

This drove Alice crazy.

The gates of Crescent Villa were tightly shut, and the students had not seen Alice for a long time. However, some people had vaguely seen Alice's figure inside the villa through the curtains when they passed by the lake outside the villa.

The academy did not interfere much with this competition because everything was in accordance with the competition rules set by the academy. It was a fair, just, and open competition conducted on the principle of mutual consent.

This is indisputable.

Strictly speaking, no noblemen were injured in this match. Even Barkley, who had only fainted in the previous match, suffered only minor injuries. Alice was thrown off the ring and landed on top of the noblemen, which startled her, but she herself was not injured.

The most seriously injured in this competition were Nie Yun, the captain of the Crescent Moon Guard, who was a civilian student, and his team members, as well as Zhang Fan, who was the second party in the competition.

Since the Crescent Moon Guard itself didn't say anything, others had even less reason to hold Zhang Fan accountable. Moreover, the Crescent Moon Guard had already disbanded after this battle.

The absence of physical injuries does not mean that the aristocratic youth was unharmed psychologically; in some ways, this psychological trauma far surpasses the severity of physical harm. However, psychological damage is immeasurable, and this cannot be used as a reason to blame Zhang Fan.

The impact of this competition on the noble children in the academy was evident in the situation after classes resumed on Monday.

Within the academy, the noble students could no longer boss around the commoner students as they used to. When the two sides met on the road, the commoner students no longer kept their heads down and walked around them from a distance, but instead walked straight over with their heads held high. This imposing manner often forced some noble students to give way and slink away to the side.

Many aristocratic students did not attend school. Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that many aristocratic transfer students had already begun submitting transfer applications to the academy.

Also submitting transfer applications were the Crescent Guard and the commoner students of the AB Training Camp, but they were not applying to leave the academy; rather, they were applying to leave their classes and the noble transfer students within those classes.

There were simply too many commoner students applying to transfer classes. In the end, to avoid too much impact, the academy came up with a compromise: all the aristocratic transfer students from each class were removed and reorganized into an independent G training camp, which solved the problem of transferring classes.

Moreover, since the noble students and commoner students are now at odds, it is indeed necessary to separate the two groups.

The tenth floor of the administration building of the Royal Military Command Academy of the Duchy of Ryan has a terrace overlooking the entire academy.

At this moment, the instigator of the entire fight is lying in the bathtub on the terrace, with a fruit platter and snacks on the small coffee table next to him.

Zhang Fan basked in the warm midday sun while admiring the scenery within the college.

"How long are you going to stay here with me, you bastard?"

Dean Irwin of the Ryan Military Academy stared at Zhang Fan, who was soaking in the open-air hot spring outside his office, with a look of utter exasperation on his face.

The bathtub Zhang Fan was sitting in was moved from his dean's lounge. An electrical wire ran from under the bathtub to a socket in the dean's office, and the water in the bathtub came from the adjacent musical fountain.

This really feels like soaking in a hot spring.

"I offended the most powerful family in the academy to help you, and I could be assassinated at any moment." Zhang Fan looked at Erwin with a carefree smile. "Can't I just hide here with you for a couple of days?"

"I sent you to shatter the academy's old system, and it's only been a few days? You've already created such a huge mess!" Erwin said angrily.

"I can't help it, I'm in a bit of a rush." ​​Zhang Fan laughed, sucking a grape from the coffee table into his mouth. "Isn't the result the same? I've already gotten rid of a bunch of parasites for you."

"Hmph, you did a good job on that, otherwise I wouldn't have cleaned up your mess." Erwin was still annoyed. "Next time you're going to do something, can you at least ask me first?"

"Hehe, I often do things on a whim, without thinking. I don't even know what I'm going to do next, so how can I give you a heads-up?" Zhang Fan leaned against the bathtub, enjoying the rooftop sunshine. "But you, why did you choose me?"

“You are the most suitable.” Erwin sat on the bench in the rooftop garden next to Zhang Fan. “I have seen your file. ‘Outsider,’ unattached, no one can use the people around you to threaten you.”

"That's only one point. The second is your performance in Milan. Old Zhu's letter of recommendation to me contains a detailed report about you. I have to say that 'Shadowfang' got a great deal. Based on what you did in Milan, I think the Ryan Military Command should award you the rank of 'Major General'."

“Hahaha.” Zhang Fan laughed. “I have absolutely no interest in serving in the military in Ryan.”

"So you are the most suitable, you have the ability, but you are not greedy for these things."

"What about what I want?" Zhang Fan asked Erwin.

“This is all I have right now.” Erwin placed a file folder on the coffee table next to the bathtub. “You know, even with my clearance, it takes time to investigate some things. You’ll have to wait.”

Zhang Fan pulled out the documents from the bag and glanced at them:

Baron Charles, Star Core, No Man's Land...

This is indeed what he wants.

"Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do with all this stuff?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

“I have no interest.” Erwin shook his head, his gaze sweeping coldly over the entire academy. “I’m only interested in how to drive these parasites out of my place!”

In recent years, the Senate has not only extended its reach into the military, but has now begun to interfere in major military academies across Ryan, planting its own spies among students and teachers.

Irwin dedicated most of his life to Lane Military Academy. In his heart, the academy was his private domain, inaccessible to anyone, not even the powerful Marquis Charles, nor even the Grand Duke of Lane…

“Then we have a common enemy.” Zhang Fan exhaled a puff of mist into the sunlight. “But…”

“But what?” Erwin asked.

"But can't you plug it back in? The water's too cold!"

"If I catch a cold, there will be no one to help you with your chores."
