Mysterious journey

This is an independent meeting of the mecha combat department of the college. It is an organization that specializes in managing the affairs of the combat department, one of the more than ten branches of Black Pan Academy. It is basically a grassroots meeting, but it has the power of life and death to decide on funds.

"Nono Siwa? After testing the mecha, it was found that the mecha malfunction did not cause the accident, and there was no problem with the site identification. We should not be held responsible." A middle-aged woman wearing glasses nodded in agreement.

"I don't think it's appropriate." Teacher Ham frowned and said. "According to the regulations of the General Hospital, the college departments should bear the basic medical expenses for injuries sustained during the course. This is the basic insurance for students who pay so much tuition every year."

"But now our department is short of funds. Look at the nerve repair surgery written in this document." The instructor frowned and picked up a piece of white paper and glanced at it. "The cost of this surgery is not small. If paid in full, it may affect the payment of performance bonuses this year."

"The instructor is right."

"The liability claim is not on our side anyway. It really shouldn't be our fault."

"I agree with the instructor's proposal."

Everyone present here is the faculty and instructors of the department, and they are the most basic teachers in the college. When they heard that their own interests were involved, they immediately spoke one after another.

Teacher Hamm looked a little ugly.

"Isn't this right? It's a blatant violation of the regulations of the General Hospital."

"Regulations are dead, but people are alive. Without funding regulations, they are just a piece of waste paper. It's not that we don't do anything, it's just that we don't have the ability." The deputy instructor shrugged helplessly.

"That's right, Teacher Ham, you can't affect the lives of everyone here just because of a student in your class, right?" Someone said dissatisfied.

Harm glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the instructor Dylan.

"He was hurt during the course assessment. Could it be that the college actually planned to turn a blind eye and just let him fend for himself? Wouldn't this chill all the students in school?" He said loudly.

Instructor Chief Dylan frowned slightly.

"Ham, you have to remember, we are the Black Disk Academy, Han Xin? What is Han Xin? There are people who want to get in with their heads sharpened. If Han Xin people get out by themselves, it will be over. Survival of the fittest, natural selection, This is the highest motto of the main school.”

"I don't agree with your statement!" Ham's voice became louder. "Since we signed the enrollment contract, we have to bear some responsibility for the students! Even basic personal safety cannot be guaranteed. If the students of the academy know about it, the consequences will be disastrous!" He tried to continue to persuade the instructor.

"Okay, needless to say, this time the funding has been decided." The instructor Dylan raised his hand and exchanged glances with several conference representative teachers nearby.

"Instructor!" Ham stood up suddenly.

"Needless to say." Dylan glanced at him lightly, "The following is the second item. There is an instruction from above. Recently, criminals wanted by the federation may pass by our black disk. When everyone returns, please inform the students to be careful when going out. , go to less troublesome places. Regarding the establishment of a branch on the East Campus, the last plan can be put forward."

Ham was furious. He scanned the whole room and found that several teachers who were familiar with him on weekdays avoided his sight. Suddenly my heart trembled.

"good very good!"

With anger in his heart, he turned around and left.

"We can't delay the operation fee." The doctor frowned and said to the instructor Ham, "It's already been two weeks. If we delay it any longer, it will be too late even if the operation is performed. Hasn't your funding arrived yet?"

Harm looked gloomy and nodded.

"If this continues, the situation will probably get worse. If the child's nerves cannot be repaired in time, he may even have problems walking in the future." The doctor became impatient. "At first, we agreed to prepare for the surgery for the sake of your Black Bank Academy, but now it has been so long and the payment has not been received. The time for our pre-ordered drugs is also coming. What do you want us to do?"

Ham was silent. He had been teaching for so many years, and the most promising students in the class were Fe Bailie, who was ranked first, and Nono Siwa, who was ranked third. Now, an outstanding student who might become a real mecha master in the future might have to pay for surgery at any time. And if he was delayed for a lifetime, even he would feel very uncomfortable. This kind of encounter reminded him vaguely of his own experience. At that time, no one gave him support, and he had to rely on himself to survive. But in the end, his life was saved, but his original consciousness was severely damaged. It dropped by more than half, and in the end he had no choice but to retire and come to the college to become an ordinary teacher.

"Trust me." He took a deep breath and suddenly made up his mind. "The money will come out soon. I'll go and urge it. It should be in place tomorrow!"

"Are you sure?" The doctor didn't believe it.

"OK! Get ready for the operation!" Ham lit a cigarette and took a long drag.

It’s not the first time anyway, so what the hell! Wouldn't it be better to smoke less and save some money?

He felt at ease.

"Okay, I'll trust you again." The doctor, who was also acquainted with him, nodded, "Then I'll go and notify the operating room first. By the way, smoking is prohibited here!"

"good."

Harm nodded. He put out his cigarette butt on the trash can next to him.

*************

Garen was lying in the ward, still unable to speak. He could only make uh-huh sounds and blink his eyes, but he could do nothing else.

The damage to this body was too deep to be repaired in a short time.

Beside him, his younger brother was carefully peeling a white pear.

Garen couldn't move, so he could only wait for the soul seed to repair his body naturally. Looking at the younger brother named Allen, his face now lost a lot of its original timidity, but had a little more confidence.

"Brother, you need to get well soon. You are hospitalized every day and the hospitalization expenses are very high. The family's income has been sluggish recently." The younger brother muttered in a low voice, like a housekeeper.

This guy is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he looks like he is stunted. He is only twelve or thirteen years old. His black hair hangs down all day long, covering most of his face. He also likes to lower his head and wears large-framed glasses. , his appearance could not be clearly seen at all, and his skin looked sickly pale.

He comes across as timid and not like a man at all!

For this reason, he was often beaten and scolded by Nonosiwa, who disliked him for embarrassing him. But this younger brother never resists.

Unexpectedly, the younger brother who was often bullied in the past is actually the one who takes care of him the most now. Even his other sister is far less caring than him.

"What's his name?" Garen thought. "Aaron? Keren? Or something else?"

He didn't absorb many soul fragments from Nonosiwa, so many things are unclear now.

Just take something out of it every time the family comes over and the younger siblings are chatting.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." The younger brother stood up and whispered.

With a hiss, the door opened slightly, and the teacher Ham walked in.

"We will prepare for the operation tomorrow, Nono, be prepared." He looked at Nono on the bed in a deep voice.

Garen blinked to show that he understood.

"The college's medical expenses have been reimbursed successfully. There will still be a period of recovery after the operation. Recuperate in the hospital and don't think about anything else. With your progress, there is no need to worry about many things." Ham tried his best to keep his mind calm. His tone became softer, although he was indeed not very comforting.

"Thank you, Uncle Ham." The younger brother beside him quickly bowed to express his gratitude. He just spoke a little louder, but his face and neck were all red.

"Your name is Beren, good boy." Ham patted his brother on the shoulder and nodded, "Okay, I have to go back to the academy first, so take good care of your brother."

"I know." Beren's voice was knotted.

"It's not okay if a man is too shy!" Ham was amused by Beren.

After Ham left, Beren closed the door and immediately let out an uncontrollable cheer.

"The cost of the surgery has finally come down!" He returned to the hospital bed, "Thanks to Uncle Ham!"

Garen blinked in agreement.

"Brother, you will feel better soon." Beren said seriously. But when he saw Garen's eyes moving to stare at him, he suddenly shrank his head in fear, apparently recalling Nonosiwa's bad temper in the past.

After receiving this good news, Garen also breathed a sigh of relief.

He can indeed heal this body, but the consumption of soul seeds is too great, the gain is not worth the loss, and it takes a long time. Now with the help of surgery, he should be able to restore health and control the body as quickly as possible.

However, he also saw something from Teacher Ham's eyes just now. There seemed to be something hidden about the medical expenses.

In the afternoon, my parents rushed back and paid the hospitalization fee with tired faces. They rested in the hospital bed for a while and told their younger brother Belen to take good care of his brother. After learning that the surgery fee was reimbursed, the whole family was extremely happy and breathed a sigh of relief.

The younger sister, on the other hand, seemed to be afraid of Nono and didn't come much. Her parents said she likes to run out recently and doesn't know what she is doing. They have been busy working overtime recently and don't have time to care about her. As long as she comes home on time to eat and sleep every day.

Everything is going in the right direction.

************************

At night, the cold moonlight shrouded the entire Heipan City in a silver veil.

A night market street somewhere in Heipan City

Maglev cars kept passing by on the street, their lights flickering. Occasionally, you can see drunken men staggering around on the sidewalks on both sides, humming random songs.

Between the black street buildings, a dozen black shadows can be vaguely seen fleetingly, jumping between the black buildings very quickly.

Every time these black shadows fall, they will not leave any sound on the roof or building walls. They are just like spiders, gently falling and clinging to them, then gently falling off, jumping in another direction.

They were flying across the sky, and no one noticed any trace of them from the pedestrians and vehicles below.

"Watch out for distractions!"

There was a voice in the ears of one of the jumping black figures.

"Mind yourself!"

It used the device on its hand to stick to the wall with one hand and looked around. After being ironed, he jumped suddenly and hit the glass window of the building opposite.

Wow! !

A piercing alarm sounded suddenly, and red lights flashed across the entire floor.

The black shadow rolled a few times to avoid the laser's red line scan, dodged a few times as lightly and silently as a civet cat, and came to a safe. He reached out and popped out a thin needle, stabbing it directly into the safe.
