Chapter 264
"Really?"
"Group leaders who are frequently grouped together should quickly conduct a check within their groups to find out, hurry up!"
"Since we're going to discuss this anyway, everyone who received the notice about the Class Monitor Internship Assignment Notice should fill out the information they received; we might need it later."
A few minutes later, after the group leaders compiled and compared the internship work of the previous holiday, they found that at first glance, the places where the members of each group went were far apart and the work they did was different. But when they looked closely together, they found that the work done by all the members of the group during the previous holiday was clearly different links in a process.
"I can understand it as the Class Monitor grouping us into one group from the very beginning to cultivate teamwork within our respective groups, so that we could work together more efficiently in the future?"
"Logically speaking, the 'Crown Princes' in our class, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should all be arranged by their families to gradually walk the path of inheriting the 'family business.' The fact that the Class Monitor n't arrange any internships for them this holiday means he wants them to go back to their 'own territory,' right? If I'm right, then you can try to find out where the Class Monitor assigned us for our internships this time, and then work in groups. Isn't it easy to see that although the places are different, we're doing almost the same things? Furthermore, let's be a little bolder: what our class groups did during the holiday seems to have countless connections with various parts of the Federation System."
"Holy crap, it's really true! We... we're going to take over the future of the alliance..."
"Ahem! Shut up already. It's not even dark yet, and you're already having wishful thinking? You guys are really dreaming, acting like we're guaranteed to get in. Even if it's just wishful thinking, you're being a bit too forward."
"... I've thought about it carefully, and that won't do. I can't bring myself to hurt myself."
"Alright, stop laughing. Anyway, after our analysis, I'm inclined to think we're right. The Class Monitor wants our class's Heirs to go back to their respective families, consolidate their positions, and demonstrate their abilities."
"Got it. In layman's terms, it's about winning over the enemy and ending the conflict. Now it's our turn."
"To put it bluntly, now that we've dealt with the enemy, it's time to deal with our own. The Class Monitor definitely wants to see us treat everyone equally and without favoritism, so everyone, we must stand up straight and not be soft-hearted just because they're on our side."
"Oh, I see. I was scared half to death. I thought I'd been abandoned by the Class Monitor. Now I really am... No, no, no, let's cast a vote. Those who think we guessed right, vote for '1'."
"Alright! Who's the Deputy Class Monitor for today? Hurry up!"
In less than a minute, seeing the 100% '1' vote result seemed to give most of the students in Class 6, who were worried about not receiving Qin Su's holiday arrangements, a boost of confidence, and they dared to relax and leave the school one after another.
--
Around the same time, every planet that had any grudges with the students of Fourth Military Academy Class of 26 Class 6 or their families, with the holiday approaching, recalled the fear of being dominated by Class 6 during the last holiday, a fear so intense that even their enemies would feel sorry for them; fearing that Class 6 would make a comeback, they all issued orders within their own authority that they must not accept any students from Class 6 under any circumstances.
Suddenly, the pressure fell on those who had risen to power through Qin Su's intervention.
On one side is the talent scout they dare not offend, and on the other side is their superior. They are torn between the fear of Qin Su Susai entering and the inability to refuse him, and the desire to get rid of their superior.
Before he could even come to a conclusion, he discovered that he had not received any orders from Qin Su even after the Fourth Military Academy announced the official holiday dates.
Qin Su had previously forced them to become more and more closely connected in private, secretly contacting each other to "check their accounts." They were shocked to discover that Qin Su had never contacted any of them.
After a very short silence in the multi-person connection, people started speaking again one after another.
"So, we've been abandoned by Qin Su?"
"Looking at it on the bright side, how can we not say that Qin Su anticipated our superiors' moves and got rid of them to avoid putting us in a difficult position?"
"Whatever, this kind of good fortune is finally being enjoyed by their own people. To put it bluntly, we were already living in constant fear while in the 'enemy camp,' having to get together with a group of people every now and then to strongly condemn Qin Su. When socializing, we didn't even dare to get drunk, always keeping an eye on ourselves and carrying Antidote. If we felt a little dizzy, we would secretly prick ourselves with an injection, afraid of giving ourselves away. It's really great that they didn't come; it greatly reduced my psychological burden."
"Haha, everyone's points are valid."
During the connection, everyone exchanged comforting words, pretending to be nonchalant about Qin Su's 'abandonment', and guarded against each other. No one mentioned the whereabouts of Class 6).
After the connection ended, they all sent people to find out where the students of Class 6) had gone, wanting to know the truth and see who had taken their place in Qin Su's place.
After the spectacular internship event during the first holiday of Class 6), Class 6) easily became the focus of attention for countless people during the second holiday. No one in Class 6) deliberately hid it, and soon the whereabouts of most of the students in Class 6) were found out.
It was discovered that most of the students in Class 6 had their holiday internship locations practically their own territory, leading everyone to suspect that Qin Su was planning to 'make Class 6 ruthless and take care of even the students in their own territory'.
On different planets and in different places, the relatives and friends of the students in Class 6) who were originally gloating and waiting to see the 'enemy camp' have suddenly discovered after the start of the Fourth Military Academy holiday that, according to the pattern of the last holiday internship, the children who should have appeared in the territory of one of their rivals have appeared in front of them. Looking at their own children excitedly preparing to roll up their sleeves and do something big, their vision goes black again and again.
They were making a scene outside, so why are they causing trouble at home?!
--
Ninth Military District.
Halton was swamped with work when he glanced at the communication notification on his Optical Brain. Without giving it a second glance, he answered the call, "What is it?"
"Lieutenant Colonel, two guests are looking for you, they are..."
Before the person on the other end could finish speaking, Halton immediately interrupted, "Send them away, say we didn't..."
Hearing Halton's impatient voice, the person on the other end quickly said, "It's He Muzhi!"
Halton's voice trailed off, and only then did the other person resume their normal speaking pace, reporting, "And his friend Samuel."
Halton: "...?"
Halton couldn't help but think of the recent rumors, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
No, what are you doing here?
"Lieutenant Colonel, are you listening?" The Secretary, receiving no response from Halton, raised her voice again, asking, "Should we let them in?"
According to the Military District's regulations, not even a fly from outside can be allowed in without the permission of the Military District's superiors or authorization from above.
He Muzhi came alone. Although many people in the Ninth Military District knew He Family He Muzhi and the He family's influence in the Ninth Military District, He Muzhi had neither the authority nor prior notice to anyone within the Military District. They could only follow the rules and keep him out.
He Muzhi has always been good-tempered, and this wasn't the first time he had been stopped. The soldiers responsible for stopping He Muzhi had virtually no psychological burden.
"Let them in." Despite knowing the visitors were hostile, Halton had no choice but to nod in agreement.
He Muzhi could contact anyone in the entire Ninth Military District, but they specifically asked him to grant them authority, which made him uneasy.
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel."
Before the communication ended completely, Halton heard two familiar "thank you"s from the other end.
Halton: "..."
They were quite polite.
But when Halton thought about the purpose of their visit, and the fact that there were two of them, he found himself unable to feel happy at all.
Others were forced to accept only one person from Class 6, so why did two come to him at once? Halton scratched his hair, which had been falling out a lot lately, and put the Hair Loss Prevention Medicine in the drawer in a conspicuous place.
He didn't want to be prematurely bald by the time Samuel left He Muzhi; he'd better eat it every day.
Knock knock--
After a while, hearing a knock on the door, Halton resignedly got up and opened the office door.
The moment He Muzhi saw Halton, he noticed a hideous scar near Halton's left eye. Concealing the surprise in his eyes, he greeted him in a normal yet slightly ingratiating tone, "Teacher, long time no see."
"Teacher, it's been a long time. This is a gift from A-Mu and me to you." Samuel stood beside He Muzhi, raised his hand and handed the box to Halton, smiling as he called him teacher. Lailisi and Lin Yin both had places they wanted to go, and he also had places he wanted to go, but he had no connections or resources, so he could only come back with He Muzhi.
He Muzhi carried the gifts all the way, only taking over when they knocked on the door. They had discussed it beforehand, and in order not to be ruthlessly kicked out by Halton, he would carry them to 'show weakness'. Halton softened and let them in, and they immediately refused to leave until they achieved their goal.
As soon as he opened the door, two boys not much younger than him called him "teacher." Halton immediately got goosebumps. He glanced at He Muzhi, then at Samuel next to He Muzhi. Instead of taking the gift, he became extremely wary, speaking rudely and blocking their way, "If you have something to say, say it. Of course, if you don't, that's even better. Now, immediately turn around and step to the left."
Fearing that he would be pushed out immediately and even spit on by the teacher if he spoke, He Muzhi brazenly peered inside. "Teacher, Samuel's arm is getting tired from holding it up, won't you let us in first?"
He didn't want it to be like this, but his whole family coldly rejected his application to 'join the family' and told him that only Halton didn't know about it. After thinking it over, he had no other choice. The only person who could break through the defenses against him in his family was Halton.
"Heh." Halton sneered, ruthlessly exposing the two who were clearly putting on an act and trying to fool him. "Seriously? Twenty-three seconds ago, the Electronic Eye footage outside the office showed Samuel just taking it from your hand. Do you think I'm blind or not?"
