In just a few short steps, we arrived at the command center. Coincidentally, we ran into Tao Wen and Pegassi, the student council members who had arrested us a few days ago. The two of them led me through the corridor and into a conference room I had never been to before. Along the way, we passed through messy rooms where all kinds of people were constantly arguing and shouting. In the empty room, red cards on the table indicated each person's name. Among the different names, I found my seat and sat down. However, Valkina, who was sitting next to me, asked a rather strange question.
"With so many people here, don't you Chinese people find it uncomfortable?" I was puzzled. "Why?"
"Aren't you Chinese people always particular about sitting at separate tables for different things? I heard that the hierarchy is really strict. There's only one table here. Won't you feel uncomfortable?"
"Not really... Where did you hear that from?" I was baffled by this theory.
"From that thing called QQ Kan Dian in your China... It said that there was a family where their eldest grandmother was celebrating her birthday. The grandmother said that those who earned 500,000 a year would sit at one table, those who earned a million a year would sit at another table, and those who earned ten million a year would sit at yet another table. At this time, that useless son-in-law of hers jumped out and asked where those who earned a billion a year should sit, and he even had this really strange crooked-mouth expression..."
Damn, the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King! Has this man become so powerful? It's terrifying!
I cleared my throat with a couple of coughs and pretended to be serious. "This is a legend in our Chinese region. There's a man called Lord Dragon King, also known as Asura, Crazy Dragon God of War, Supreme Dragon God. His martial arts are superb. With his Taiyi Divine Needles, he can turn diabetes into AIDS. With the Dragon King's True Formula, he can punch the nursing home on South Mountain and kick the kindergarten on North Sea..."
Zhuge Yu was sitting at the back, covering her mouth and snickering. Perhaps this is the kind of humor that only Chinese people can understand. Valkina was completely lost, and I didn't know what kind of strange names the simultaneous interpreter would translate these names into.
A few minutes later, her vice-captain, who was also her elder brother Ivan, took his seat and brought new information that ended our conversation. "I saw that people from each academy have arrived."
"Really?" I looked towards the entrance. Coincidentally, Ye Fan walked in with a short, orange-haired little guy. The little guy even jumped up and waved at me. Danny Ogedenis, from the French district, was one of the members of Ye Fan's C4 cute girl group. He had a lively personality, but his short height was a drawback, so he wasn't selected for Academy A.
However, according to Ye Fan, this person was scarily cold-blooded. Only when he was in the shadows could people not see the darkness in his heart. Instead, he looked exceptionally sunny.
After everyone was present in the conference room, I counted the number of people. There were a total of 40 people. Among them, there were 16 people from Academy A and 16 from Academy C, 2 from Academy B, 2 from Academy D, and 4 from Academy E.
"Since everyone is here, then..." Elsa and Instructor Wilson walked into the conference room together. After a brief moment of thought, the female instructor continued, "Let's all introduce ourselves first. Well, let's start with you." Elsa pointed slightly with her finger.
"I... I... I..." A boy with glasses and a face full of freckles stood up. "Kyle, the drone operation squad leader from Academy D."
Before he could finish his self-introduction, the girl next to him immediately stood up, making the former look rather embarrassed. "Kim Sooyoung, the information and data analysis squad leader from Academy D."
The next trainees stood up one by one. "Aaron from the command department of Academy E." "Daniel from the flight department, Alice from Group A7 of Academy C, Yuji Asuka from Group B6..."
The self-introductions were a bit boring, and only the group leaders or team captains would introduce themselves. The adjutants didn't even bother to look up. Danny next to Ye Fan had already started playing games.
Valkina had a cold gaze, and Zhuge Yu had a calm expression. However, these two probably had already let their minds wander far away, with their pupils looking empty.
The later self-introductions became even more long-winded and boring. "Hello everyone, I'm XXX from XX district. I like singing, dancing, rapping, and playing basketball..."
However, Ivan and I were quite excited and even secretly moved to sit together.
"There are so many beautiful women in Eitlan. Damn, what a great sin."
"This is like a brothel, right? It's definitely a brothel, right?" "This is the beauty of multiculturalism, okay?"
"Look at that Chinese girl. She's so beautiful." I looked up and saw Ye Fan stand up. I immediately gave him a thump on the head. "Idiot, that's a guy."
"What? Sukabuleit."
"Academy A, Squad 861, Naoki Kurashiki."
Finally, it was Academy A's turn during the long speeches. I glanced in that direction and saw a familiar and beautiful figure. The girl's skin seemed to be crafted from the finest lanolin, with a flawless face. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slept lightly, and the corners of her crimson lips curled up slightly, looking elegant and beautiful. The rumored most beautiful girl in Academy A - Dongfang Muxue.
However, since there are many beautiful women in my own squad, I have some immunity. I wasn't really attracted to her. I took a glance and then looked away. What was curious was her captain, a British girl with eyebrows on the same level as hers. Her eyes had the hardness and the same kind of strength as ice and snow, like a princess waiting on an iceberg for ten thousand years.
I frowned, realizing that I had no impression of this girl at all. "Hedwig, Squad 000."
When it was her turn, the girl stood up and scanned the whole room. Her gaze was like that of a hawk. Although it didn't have the acerbity brought by sharpness, it still made people feel a bit uncomfortable.
Dongfang Muxue didn't say anything and just stood quietly behind Hedwig. So, she should be the adjutant of Squad 000.
There was a sense of unease in my heart. I had never heard of this squad. I had heard a little about the Academy A squads before it, whether it was Squad 549 or 861. Squad 000 gave people a sense of uneasiness like a fire breaking out in the backyard - for example, it was like the cabinet of an eggplant had moved.
To be honest, with a goddess-level girl like Dongfang Muxue in the squad, it was impossible for it to be unknown. Moreover, Squad 000 also had a Hedwig who was on a par with her. It was really strange. Furthermore, Squad 000 - the Zero Squad. Such a name should actually be quite eye-catching due to its name, but after another search in my mind, I found that I really had no impression of it at all. So, who on earth were they?
Under the table, I took out my phone and secretly sent a message to Ye Fan: "Have you heard of 000?"
