...it's not the first time he's done something like this.

At dusk, in the spacious tactical classroom, Jiang Jianming looked at the boy standing opposite the simulator.

"Hey."

The boy with simple clothes and fierce eyes shouted.

"I know that Teacher Luo Hai called you here because he wanted you to teach me a lesson, right?"

Kevin snorted coldly, the brown crystals on his wrists were shiny and flowing, crackling and quickly growing a crystal bone that was as long as an arm, and the end was attached to the virtual screen.

"Let me tell you first, it's useless. Even if I lose, I won't give up my persistence."

——Keos Military Academy is named after the great emperor. Although it is a military academy, its six departments cover most of the disciplines. It is the undisputed highest institution in the human empire.

There are many geniuses, but it actually means that there are many thorns who do not obey discipline and have high self-esteem.

So the shrewd teachers have an unwritten custom: grab some more powerful students, even old students who have graduated, and rub those little bastards sitting on the ground for a few times to wake up their minds.

"Before you fight, you lose."

Jiang Jianming lightly rolled up his cuffs, stretched out his hands, and spread his fingers, "It's ominous."

Ten slender, white fingers pressed silently on the virtual screen glowing with blue light.

Kevin was taken aback for a moment, and his face suddenly turned pale: "You, you are disabled...!"

Jiang Jianming: "It's okay, you use your crystal bone."

I heard that when Major General Xie of Yin Beidou was studying in the military academy, he was often caught by the teachers at that time to do this job.

The same goes for him, since he entered school, he has been a ruthless rubbing machine that Luo Hai often catches and uses.

"Left and right focus and get ready."

Teacher Luo Hai shouted.

Soon, the electronic sound from the simulator resounded:

"Random map this time: b-03, the students on both sides are in place, and the three-dimensional battlefield projection will be displayed after five seconds, and the simulated confrontation will start after thirty seconds. The countdown is thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-seven..."

It's just... Jiang Jianming's eyes once again looked at the immature boy like a wolf cub in front of him, and said silently in his heart: accommodation fee.

——When he used Teacher Luo as a friction machine, he always used coins.

In an instant, the blue light quickly spread in midair, forming a two-dimensional map.

The random map this time is dominated by plains, with sparse vegetation, and there is no room for tricks.

The rules of the simulated confrontation battle are actually very simple.

The blue light simulates the geographical environment of the battlefield; the red dots symbolize alien creatures; the black and white light blocks respectively symbolize the strength of the opposing sides.

The goal of the battle is simpler: defend your own camp, clear the alien creatures along the way and capture the opponent's camp.The system will give the final score based on the students' comprehensive performance.

In other words, students need to fight against the obstacles set by the machine as well as against the living opponents at the same time.

There were rustling noises outside the classroom.

"Hey, Brother Kevin is playing a simulated battle with someone!"

"Who is the other party..."

Jiang Jianming glanced out of the corner of his eye, and through the window on the door, he vaguely saw the sneaky figures of several teenagers and girls.

They are all students... Judging by their clothes, ordinary students?

That should be what Teacher Luo Hai said, the children who went on strike with the boy in front of him.

Outside the classroom, several teenagers and girls who heard the news were commotioning.

"Hey, look at his wrist."

"Disabled human beings!? Unexpectedly, they are not affected by Brother Kevin's crystal bones..."

"Did he take a tranquilizer in advance?"

"Is he an aristocrat? It doesn't feel like..."

"It's all here," Luo Hai suddenly called out, "Come in and have a look."

The little kids outside the door shut up all of a sudden, and after a while, they slid in with their heads bowed like frost-beaten eggplants.

In the classroom, Jiang Jianming's heart skipped a beat.

He realized that since he returned to the empire, he had vaguely noticed that the "atmosphere was different", and what was the difference.

The weeping cripples bowing down to the Bishop of Crystal Cult, the nobles who provoked in the street, the civilians who went on strike...

It's those hidden contradictions.Behind the brilliance of prosperity and peace, the contradictions within this huge empire suddenly intensified, like a wild beast that got rid of the iron chain, showing its sharp fangs.

Why?Jiang Jianming couldn't help frowning, he wasn't like this before he set off, why did he suddenly...

"Hey, you're not from a noble family, are you?"

On the opposite side, Kevin stared at the simulated map and began to move his troops, "We just want to fight for an equality, why are you here to stop me?"

He is Baizi, and this boy's style after getting on the plane is not as impulsive as his attitude.On the contrary, facing the mysterious young man brought by Teacher Luo Hai, he showed extreme caution.

On the contrary, Jiang Jianming manipulated Heizi and rushed out in a straight line along the terrain.

The vanguard is in the front, and the large army is following closely, driving out alien creatures along the way... It is a very solid but common offensive style of play.

"……equality."

Jiang Jianming looked at the young man in front of him peacefully, "Is the name Kevin right? How much do you spend on tuition at Keos Military Academy every year?"

A girl who just walked into the classroom suddenly yelled: "Brother Kevin is the best in our class, and he can receive scholarships and subsidies from the Empire every year! He doesn't have to pay tuition fees."

"Yes!" A chubby man also shouted, "Just... just because he refused to bow his head and offended the Brandon family, the group of nobles tried their best to isolate him and bully him. Obviously, none of the group of guys achieved any results.Better than Kevin."

What a coincidence, why is it Brandon again...

Jiang Jianming smiled secretly, and nodded calmly on his face: "It turns out that it is like this, the scholarship of Keos Military Academy is not easy to get, you are an excellent student."

During the conversation, on the simulated projected battlefield, black and white pieces on both sides collided.

Kevin's eyes flashed, and he was secretly happy: The other party has been tricked!

Heizi fought all the way from the red dot that symbolizes alien creatures, his strength has been somewhat damaged, and he is waiting for work at ease, now as long as...

The young man manipulated it rapidly with the crystal bone, the two wings of Baizi deformed, and the array turned into a curved "u", enclosing Heizi like dumplings.

It turned out to be smoother than expected.

The corners of Kevin's mouth couldn't help but twitch: Very good, in this way, the enemy will be a turtle in an urn.The next step is a protracted battle, as long as we can nibble away the opponent's strength little by little...

"As far as I know, Brandon's family donates millions of dollars to the construction of the military academy every year."

Suddenly, a clear and slightly deep voice floated from the opposite side.

The black-haired young man lowered his eyebrows, and when he spoke, there was no wave in his eyes staring at the simulated projection.

His white fingers traced a graceful trajectory on the virtual screen, moving his troops calmly.

"what!?"

Kevin's face changed drastically, and he looked at the projection in front of him in disbelief, "What, what, how did this happen!?"

The expected encirclement circle did not form, and the white pieces didn't even have time to completely enclose the black pieces, the bottom of the "u" broke with a bang.

The sunspots on the battlefield are like a sharp knife, or a spear, or even like a rampaging bull, directly breaking through the formation of Baizi, the original semi-arc is completely cut in two!

"And you, not only can't pay the tuition, but the military academy has to lose money to help you finish your studies."

Jiang Jianming raised his eyes unhurriedly, "Is this equal to the military academy?"

The red light of the setting sun outside the window and the cold blue light of the simulator in front of him are intertwining and swaying in the depths of those dark pupils.

There was a little sigh in his tone, as if a little melancholy, or it could be called pity.

Kevin was stunned, and the boys and girls watching the battle were also stunned.I don't know if it was because of the sudden change in the battle situation, or because of the words in the mouth of the black-haired young man in front of him.

Jiang Jianming knocked on the edge of the machine, trying to bring the boy back to his senses: "Your formation is too loose, and you don't have enough experience, so don't rashly disperse your forces."

The girl who first spoke for Kevin raised her eyebrows anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense! Isn't Kaios the Royal Academy? Isn't the purpose of cultivating talents for the empire!? What makes money and loses money is not for businessThe little merchant—”

Jiang Jianming shook his head helplessly, and glanced at Teacher Luo Hai.

These kids...

Where is the problem of making money and losing money.

Because of the status of Keos Military Academy, sometimes it has to be restrained by more intangible things and has to make a certain degree of compromise.

Just say that the current tactical simulation machine is equipped with the most advanced computing system and intelligent brain, and one machine costs nearly a million coins.

If you don't make money, how can you subsidize these ordinary children who can't afford the tuition to go to school?

In the same way, if some compromises are not made, once the military academy itself collapses, how can we protect this group of innocent children who talk about "down with the evil nobles" and "we won't come to class unless we expel those dudes"?

But such a complicated thing, for a while, can't figure it out with this group of children.

So Jiang Jianming could only sigh: "Yes, what you said...that's true."

In the next second, he raised his eyebrows indifferently and asked, "But based on what you are doing now, are you considered talents?"

"..."

The boys and girls fell silent with their faces ashen.

Even though the heating in the big classroom was fully turned on, it seemed that there was a cold current pouring down from the top of everyone's head.They looked at each other with timid eyes.

Are they... considered talents?Is there any value on them worth more than a million coins?

Only then did Jiang Jianming glance at the battle situation again.Kevin's head was covered with cold sweat, and he was gnashing his teeth trying to bring the two dispersed forces closer together.

Jiang Jianming flicked the screen casually, and the sunspots left and right for a moment, like a dragon swaying its tail, smashing the two scurrying whites one by one: "It's all like this, is it useful to gather troops?"

"See your enemy clearly and make the right judgment."

"Face me, you should run."

Kevin raised his face abruptly, the corners of his eyes twitched, his face was red, it was unknown whether it was from shame or anger.

Jiang Jianming: "I can't even beat the ones that Teacher Luo caught casually. You are still far behind."

Kevin's teeth were shaking, he closed his sore eyes unwillingly, and with difficulty... began to manipulate the remnant soldiers, throwing away his armor and fleeing in embarrassment.

There was a red dot in front of his eyes.

The red dots symbolizing alien creatures were lying in front of the scattered Baizi.

Jiang Jianming's face sank: "Where are you going? Didn't you just keep on the defensive, the alien creatures in that area haven't been cleared yet, have you lost your head?"

"what……"

Kevin's face paled instantly.

Heizi greeted him leisurely, split into four groups halfway, and accurately ate the scattered Baizi.

——Total annihilation.

"..."

Kevin stood there in a daze, his back bent, and he dragged an unbearable shadow on the ground.

However, as the sun sank completely, the surrounding darkness also submerged the shadow.

Several partners walked over silently, surrounded their "Brother Kevin" in the middle, and stared at Jiang Jianming defensively.

They are like stubborn and dusty stones, looking a little pitiful.

"Do you still want to fight?"

Jiang Jianming moved his wrist, winning or losing would not leave a trace on his face, "If you are not reconciled, put away the crystal bone and replace it with manual control, I can play a few more rounds with you."

"Before that..." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Luo Hai who had been standing with arms folded, watching silently.

This time, there were vivid traces between Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes, Jiang Jianming said softly: "Teacher Luo, can you buy me coffee?"
