Chapter 86

Above the azure sky, two fiery red suns hang high in the sky. Tall trees with lush branches and green leaves line the school roads.

In the tiered classroom of Class A of Grade 3, a group of young and beautiful men and women glanced behind them involuntarily.

"It's too bad that Edwin is in the same group with Xia Yan for the first practical assignment."

"We had a conflict yesterday, and today we are forced to be together. Considering that the theme of this assignment is 'cooperation', um... did the teacher do it on purpose?"

"A team of five people, three civilians, with Xia Yan's contemptuous personality, their group's assignment is finished."

Xia Yan Gardner claims to be a noble family with noble blood, and has always looked down on civilians. There are 50 people in Class A, and there are eight ordinary civilians.

As a result, his team accounts for one-third.

To call it a coincidence is a stretch.

Everyone looked at each other, then quickly separated.

*

The atmosphere in the back row of the classroom was tense.

The tall A-class warrior had a tense expression, his handsome eyebrows were full of vigilance, and he carefully protected another female B-class warrior behind him.

He separated the other party from Xia Yan to prevent injuries.

Xia Yan raised his eyes lazily, noticed his defensive posture, and sneered with a little disdain.

Ludwig, who was also born a civilian and had a mental level of S, clasped his hands around his chest and leaned against the wall casually. He neither approached Xia Yan, his roommate, nor huddled with the civilians. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked like he was staying out of it.

"..."

His father is a baron, and his family is aristocratic with a little money, but he can't even touch the heels of the Duke. At this time, a certain noble teammate fell into deep thought. At

the beginning, the teammates quarreled among themselves. How can this pass?

He quietly rubbed his nose, covered his mouth and pretended to cough twice, and said with a stiff face: "Ahem! Since everyone is here, should we discuss the actual combat strategy?"

For this actual combat operation, the school spent a lot of money to get a group of live Zerg from the border area.

As military cadets, they have killed countless Zerg in the holographic network, but this is the first time in reality, which makes everyone very excited.

No one replied, Zhao Jiang could only act as a lubricant: "If there is no objection, then let's choose the captain first..."

The team captain has extra points and is always the best person in the team.

In terms of grades, Xia Yan deserves it. But his attitude and stance are really unpleasant, I'm afraid... The next second, what Zhao Jiang was worried about happened.

Edwin and the brown-haired girl behind him stretched out their hands without hesitation, pointed at Ludwig and said, "Let's choose him."

Since entering the school, Ludwig has been in the spotlight with his excellent strength and handsome appearance. Even though he is low-key and does not cause trouble, appears and disappears mysteriously and does not participate in any social activities, there are still a large number of people who admire him.

In any case, for them, it is more suitable than Xia Yan.

"This..."

Zhao Jiang glanced at Xia Yan cautiously.

The young man raised his eyelids, his golden eyes sparkled, his demeanor was cold and arrogant, his slightly upturned peach blossom eyes seemed affectionate, but in fact they could not accommodate any figure.

He casually threw out a statement: "I will be the captain."

This was not a negotiation, but a notification.

In today's society, it is difficult to be a good person, but it is easy to be a bad person. Xia Yan felt that the failure of his previous two worlds must be because he was too restrained and not hateful enough, which caused the protagonists to deviate.

This time, he wanted to be a villain from beginning to end.

A super bad person.

After the actual combat grouping, Xia Yan understood that the opportunity had come! According to the general routine, at this moment, it is his turn as the cannon fodder to appear, with his bad attitude and stupid decision, to highlight the hero's wisdom and bravery.

The first step of the cannon fodder is to snatch the hero's things.

By the way, he also completed the task of bullying Ludwig on a daily basis, killing two birds with one stone, worthy of him. Xia Yan praised himself in his heart and waited for the car to fall.

Sure enough, the next second, Edwin jumped out.

"In team cooperation, the minority should obey the majority."

Very good, very sensible.

Xia Yan had no ill will towards Edwin, but at the same time, he didn't have a good impression of him. It was problematic for the original owner to use the course to settle personal grudges, but it was indeed inappropriate for him to touch other people's musical instruments without permission.

But at this moment, he was extremely grateful to Edwin, the tool man, for taking over the conversation, so that he could continue to play his part.

Xia Yan raised his chin slightly and said arrogantly: "Three to two, you are also the majority?"

Edwin was stunned: "Where did you three people come from?"

"Heh." Xia Yan raised a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth, turned his head and looked at Ludwig who was leaning against the wall. The man had opened his eyes at this time, and his light blue eyes were the same as the blue sky outside the window, like precious sapphires, bright and clear, without a trace of haze, but seemed very cold and unkind.

Being looked at like this, Xia Yan felt a little nervous. He tried to calm down and deliberately said stupid threats: "Ludwig, I want to be the captain, you should know what to do? Don't forget your identity."

If this man had a bit of blood, he would hate him and refute his words.

Xia Yan was ready to be slapped in the face.

However...

the man looked at him steadily for more than ten seconds. When Xia Yan almost thought that there was something on his face, he suddenly closed his eyes: "It doesn't matter, take it if you want."

Xia Yan: "???"

No? Brother, hold on a little longer!

It's easy to retreat, where is your protagonist's aura?

Xia Yan's face was slightly stiff, and his eyes shifted inch by inch to Zhao Jiang, the only noble who had not spoken yet, with a hidden expectation in his golden eyes.

Quick! Refute him! Slap him in the face!

Let the protagonist attack and become the captain.

The dazzling golden eyes, because of the intense emotions of the owner, become even brighter and more eye-catching, giving that gorgeous and bold face a bit of divinity, which makes people feel afraid.

Zhao Jiang, who was wavering at first, swallowed nervously: "Xia, Xia, as the head of the class, you must be able to take on the responsibilities of the captain."

Xia Yan: "???"

Good guy! Look at you, you look so handsome, but I didn't expect you to rebel.

At this point, Edwin and Betty had to accept the new captain reluctantly. They sat in the empty seats nearby with sour faces and said nothing.

Everything is in place, waiting for the new captain to give orders.

But can Xia Yan perform? Of course not! Although the original owner was fake in terms of mental strength, his other achievements were all really strong.

He knew the insect race, the natural enemy of mankind, very thoroughly.

Xia Yan could find a bunch of countermeasures by searching in his mind, but what if he performed well and someone tried to protect him, causing the plot to collapse?

This time, he wanted to nip the error in the bud.

Under the gaze of his four teammates, the new team leader supported his chin with one hand and said casually: "I appoint Ludwig as the deputy team leader. The deputy team leader will be fully responsible for this combat plan."

Everyone: "???"

Despicable!

Xia Yan grabbed the position of team leader himself and had extra credits as a reward, but he didn't care about anything and left everything to Ludwig.

Isn't this the usual operation of old-timers in the workplace?

Take the benefits for yourself, and let others take the blame if something goes wrong.

The students in the classroom had at least B-level mental power, and they were all very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Xia Yan's voice was not loud, but everyone around heard it.

They couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

Could it be that Xia Yan got the position of the chief in this way? This is too bullying.

Xia Yan felt the implicit condemnation of the people around him, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he was very happy. He did so much just to get off the line smoothly.

He sat there with a clear conscience, looked at Ludwig, nodded to him reservedly, and motioned him to say a few words.

Edwin couldn't stand Xia Yan bullying others, and his face turned completely cold: "Master Xia, as the captain, don't you have your own opinions?"

The only female warrior in the team nodded in agreement: "Before Ludwig speaks, we want to hear your opinion, 'Captain'."

The word captain was pronounced very clearly.

Xia Yan glanced at them impatiently and said contemptuously: "It's just a small actual combat mission, what is there to discuss? Ludwig and I are responsible for the main attack, Edwin assists, Betty Froman and Zhao Jiang are the weakest, just watch and help, don't let Edwin die."

The words were simple and arrogant, and the tactics were rough and perfunctory.

Edwin suppressed his anger and growled, "Our enemy this time is the Zerg, not a game of playing house. People will die if we are not careful. If you are not capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of a captain, then don't try to take on this position."

"The Imperial Central Military Academy was established 1,536 years ago. Except for the first 100 years, in the remaining 1,400 years, have any classmates died accidentally in actual combat at the school training ground?"

Xia Yan looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Edwin was stunned, and his momentum suddenly weakened, but he still said stubbornly, "What if something unexpected happens? And... we still have to fight for credits, so we should plan well."

"Knowing how to be humble is also a talent."

Xia Yan insisted on being a bad guy and must push Ludwig up.

Edwin and Betty were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks were thick. They were very disgusted with the aristocracy's shameless behavior of calling people. Zhao Jiang cleverly shut up and pretended to be dumb to avoid the flames of war.

Not far away, Huo Ruihe heard the movement here and always looked over unconsciously.

His friend held him back: "Don't get involved in other people's team tasks." After hesitating for three seconds, he lowered his voice, "The more arrogant someone is now, the worse he will fall in the future. The person above... has begun to test him."

And with Xia Yan's current personality, it is obvious that he cannot pass the test.

Once he is clearly excluded from the heir, the first thing the new crown prince will do is to get rid of him to prevent him from using the golden pupil to promote orthodoxy.

Huo Ruihe's face was stunned, and he said hurriedly: "Gardner's last name has been given, why is it like this?"

"I have to thank you for this. After all, even the Huo family, who are the most loyal to the royal family in the empire, are not used to the new crown prince, so he will naturally have to think more about it."

"..."

Huo Ruihe smiled with a complicated expression, and couldn't help looking at the young man not far away.

He sat by the window, and a few breezes blew into the room, lifting his bangs, revealing his smooth forehead, his peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, with a bit of casualness, neutralizing his arrogant expression.

If he died... I don't think I would be happy either.

Huo Ruihe touched his chest, and he couldn't tell what he wanted to do?
