Chapter 17 Noise and Relief
Are you awake? The operation was successful and you are now a girl... ヽ(^^*)ノ
Well, the above is noise from other channels, please ignore it.
Calvin, who was separated from the spiritual world, woke up to the oaths and spiritual resonance of his predecessors, and the afterglow of these wills still remained in his newly opened eyes. That kind of determination to face death without changing his face even when the mountain collapses in front of him makes his eyes look calm and fascinating.
Under the metal base, Aidan spent a lot of time to finish the previous thousand years of words in one go. Even the representative of the Inquisition in Terra was pulled over by him urgently, just to wipe the ass of Calvin. I originally wanted to wait for this kid to wake up and give him some color to taste.
But the moment he saw this look, he smiled with some relief. Some things don't need to be explained or even communicated. A look is actually enough.
Without another word of nonsense, Aidan turned around and walked out. He turned his back to Calvin, who had just woken up, and waved his hands:
"If you're not dead, get up quickly, pack your bags, and go home."
Calvin, who had just regained consciousness, heard these words and grabbed the device interface connected to his body and jumped down. He caught up with Aidan in a few steps.
"You didn't ask me about the result?" Calvin was a little curious.
"The results are written on your face, why do you still need to ask?" Aidan said angrily.
What he didn't say was that before Calvin woke up, under the supervision of representatives of the Inquisition, everyone from Custodes to Sisters of Silence had turned him inside out several times.
The last page of the latest document, which claims an accidental alarm triggering and a new equipment experiment, contains information about Calvin that is as detailed as the origin of his underwear. But unfortunately, those who have the authority to view it probably have less than one hand on the entire Terra.
"Ah, that's right. And veteran, you just said that you feel so numb when you go home. Where is our home? Is the food good? What's the standard?"
"…………roll!"
The two of them walked out one after another like this, and the latter continued to say seemingly casually:
"Look at you, it's not okay to treat recruits so roughly. When I was a soldier in my previous life, my instructor always tried to persuade me. The recruits' hearts are very fragile. You have to give them time to change..."
The former froze after hearing this: "You still have a previous life? Then how can you pretend to be naive with me..." The latter's shoulders, which were slightly stiff after finishing speaking, completely relaxed at this time.
"You can't calculate like that. I don't have the final say in my biological age in this life. Besides, I probably won't live as long as you in my two lifetimes combined..."
The figures of the two strong men just left the hall, getting further and further away.
Sora left behind these devices and a few unconscious servitors, and he doesn’t know how many years the next person who comes here will have to wait...
Outside Terra's atmosphere, the Thunderhawk assault boat that responded to Aidan's call jumped off the deck of the cruiser striker on standby in orbit and flew straight to Terra's palace area.
On the tarmac of the palace area, unlike when they arrived, there were only two people, Aidan and Calvin, who were carrying their luggage.
The two didn't wait long. Thunder Eagle, who had obtained access permission, arrived at the apron in less than 10 minutes.
The two walked into the open hatch at the rear of the Thunderhawk, found their seats, and sat down facing each other. Calvin asked Aidan while looking at the rapidly receding horizon in the observation hole:
"Veteran, how many years have you served? What is your rank? What should I call you? Sir?"
After sitting down, Aidan checked the fastening equipment and emergency escape devices as usual before answering:
"First, you are not even a recruit now, you are just a student and a selected person; second, there are two difficulties waiting for you ahead, one is the transformation surgery, and the other is the recruit trial."
Aidan stared at the young man in front of him. He responded with fervent hope to Calvin. He knew that as long as this young man with a special background and talent could pass the test, he would definitely be one of the most promising people in the Gray Knights since the army was founded.
But the more this happened, the more necessary it was for him to make Calvin understand the difficulty of the test he was about to face.
Aidan never wanted such a beautiful eagle to die before its first flight due to carelessness or lack of preparation.
"Every man is the emperor's coin and we must cherish him"
After thinking for a while, Aidan said solemnly:
"Don't underestimate the test you are about to face. The mortality rate of transformation surgery is never low. Anyone who is not strong-willed enough to survive, or the unfortunate person who has enough willpower but whose body cannot match the genetic modification, will die during the operation. There is a proverb in ancient Terra: In the sky during a storm, the only eagle that can truly soar is the one that is most in awe of the sky. I hope I won’t see your name on the death list. Do you understand? ?”
"And after this is over, you will have to face a more difficult test of willpower. What awaits you is a more cruel selection. Only if you can pass these two levels, can I see you at the recruit welcome ceremony. When the time comes, You are the one who is qualified to call me mentor."
When Calvin heard this, he also put away his original loose behavior. He sat upright, looked directly at Aidan with a serious face, and solemnly told Aidan with an unprecedented oath and the first time he took the name of the emperor:
"Your throne, I swear, you will be able to see me at the welcome ceremony!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Calvin's whole body relaxed again...
"It's really..." Aidan looked at the energetic young man in front of him and shook his head helplessly, giving up the idea of admonishing him.
He could also see that unlike those real recruits, Calvin's relaxation was a unique state of veterans before a battle.
That's good, being tight is never a long-term thing. Adrenaline should be reserved for the real battle to be the most efficient method.
Moreover, there was not much time left for the young man in front of him to relax.
Once Calvin can pass the test and truly join this army, he will never have the opportunity to relax his vigilance and enjoy leisure time like a mortal.
As a veteran who has served for nearly a thousand years, Aidan clearly knows that in that legendary army, being vigilant around the clock, and even sleeping is a state where the left and right brains take turns to rest, which is the basic requirement for every soldier.
Let the young man in front of him relax as much as possible. This will be his last happy time in the mortal stage, if he does not die in the trial.
While the two were talking, Thunderhawk quickly and quietly flew into the hangar of the cruiser strike ship.
After the hangar gate was closed, the cruiser did not stay too long. After briefly sending a signal to the sector node to apply for passage, the engine of the Gray Knight strike cruiser began to work.
Taking the two people to their next goal-Titan.
On November 1, Terra time, the starry sky finally returned to calm after a whole day of chaos.
The old rule is, start first and change later.
