Steel steam and flame

They both sighed at the same time. The instructors approached them individually a few days ago to inform them that they had become candidates for the "Spinbird" training ground, and the prerequisite "passing all assessments" was not difficult for them at all.

But the excitement and joy coexisted for only a few hours. When the two reported the news to their respective tribes, the answers they received directly extinguished all emotions. It was indeed something to be happy about, but it was only for the few days when I didn't go to the Thorny Bird Training Ground. After understanding the information about this training ground in more detail and putting themselves into it, the two of them no longer had an optimistic attitude.

"It's really strange. I used to be eager to go to a better training ground. Soon this hope will become a reality, but at first I was afraid and full of worries about the future." Chelsea said other things, "Tribe It is said that we have picked up an opportunity, but we would rather not take this opportunity. But without this opportunity, I can't think of a way to go to a training ground like the 'Spinbird'. If I continue to stay at this training ground, In a year or two, you and I will have to work in a certain region due to time constraints. From now on, even if it is fixed, it will be even harder for us to have so-called opportunities waiting for us."

"That's a matter of course. The only way to go up from this training ground is to go to a training ground with a smaller numerical code. In the past, the only training grounds that could be directly promoted to the 'Spinbird' were the top twenty training grounds with numerical codes. , does not include us. Although it is something we have always expected, we still know our own level." Opposite Chelsea, Nortonk sighed, "The family has said that it will recruit various team members, and the first candidate organization is the Thorn Birds. 'Including more than 20 training grounds. What they and we are actually worried about are the recruitment that will come at any time later."

The two of them looked away from Sisia at this time. Chelsea smiled dryly: "I don't know what she thinks. There is nothing that can be called a family or tribe behind her. She can only rely on herself."

"In the brief battle with the instructor just now, it can be seen that she has very strong strength. Is it the result of going to the Nature Association? If so, after going to the Thorn Birds, she will be much better off than us."

"At least on the combat platform, I can't beat her in that state." Nortonk looked at Sisia again, "After the evaluation, let's go over together and ask. We didn't have any interactions before, but after that we went out to the same training ground. ”

The street lights at the training ground came on on time at 5:30 p.m., illuminating every area. Xicia walked out of the cafeteria, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the food in her stomach that was about to burst through her throat.

Sisia walked to the library in the training ground while talking to the second personality in her head.

"Why not form an alliance, we can not only gain some benefits, but also take care of each other."

"In the future, it will only be you taking care of them, rather than them helping you. As for the benefits,... viewed rationally, there are still too few. They will become a burden very quickly, and they will still be of no use. You have to be clear about one thing. The intensity of competition at a training ground like the Thorn Birds is not comparable to that of this training ground. The so-called competition here is, in the final analysis, just a comparison between an individual's efforts and what a tribal family can do. It’s just additional resources provided.”

"But like the Thornbill Training Ground, the competition will immediately involve the strength of the respective tribes and families. Information will become important to you there. Which members can be friends with, which ones are best not to be easily provoked, etc. At that time, the so-called The competition is not the current evaluation results, but to see who can survive after the various outing missions. Can you understand my explanation? The instructors said these words, and I remember them very clearly." Cassia said as always A lot of things were left to the instructors or the contents of books.

"And I think the most important point is that after passing, the enemies will not be limited to the enemies you know. Things like killing teammates on the same team during missions still happen from time to time. If there are some special ones in the training ground When it comes to quotas or special resource supplies, the best opportunity to deal with competitors is during an outing mission."

Sisia's face was full of disbelief and confusion. She thought for a while and asked her own question: "We are members of the same team, so this kind of thing shouldn't happen, right? The tribe and the training ground will definitely prohibit this kind of thing. After all, everyone It's the players, not the enemy. And the training ground is used to develop people, and that creates an inherent drain."

"This amount of consumption is not worth mentioning in terms of the promotion effect of competition. The simplest example is the unknown woman not long ago. If she was given reasonable logistics supplies and time, she slaughtered and robbed the training ground alone. All members are not difficult for her. Compared to the average, training centers like Thorn Birds value quality more, I think so."

"However, the two of them have brought you and me a surprise." Cassia knew that it was too early to say this to Xixia, so she changed the topic at this moment, "Maybe it was the management's decision after the firearms assessment. Decision. But even so, the training in the next few days will continue without any changes. The reason why the two of them came to you to talk about the alliance is because they know that their level will be at the bottom after going to the Thorn Birds. "

"And the world of the Strangers that I mentioned not long ago, using the Thorn Bird as a starting point, would also be a good choice for you."

During the conversation, Xicia had gone to the library. This time, I came to borrow theoretical information about weather and various environmental terrains. After the information on human body structure and firearms, Cassia asked Sicia to learn another aspect. It would take several days, and Cassia calculated that she would be able to finish studying before the mock battle. After that, it’s language learning.

The language of the empire, the language of the Far Sea Commonwealth, as well as the language of dragons, as well as the languages ​​​​of some second-type creatures that Cassia only knew in the Flame Alliance, etc.

Cassia has always had a sense of urgency, and he wanted to transfer his emotions completely to Sisia. However, due to some reasons, he was unable to do this. He could only have a little influence, and with the help of his second personality, he constantly emphasized the importance of this knowledge, almost forcing Sicia to learn these contents.

Cassia also thought that there would be no need for such trouble, because his spirit is in Xixia's body. He knows that he can just tell Xixia at any time. But he didn't know how long he could maintain this situation. The situation in the spiritual world was indeed maintained in a short period of time, at least it did not continue to collapse on a large scale. However, the situation has been deteriorating all the time, and Sisia's mental power and the scarce perfect evolution substances in her body cannot help at all.

If she really faces spiritual death, and there is a turning point later, and she escapes from her body, Cassia hopes that Sisia can have a certain ability to protect herself.

Furthermore, in Cassia's eyes, Sisia's weakness is like dust, which can be lifted up by a slight wind and wait for a long time before falling to the ground. He also needs Xicia to survive well in the future.

"After you have gained a certain level of strength, it's time to try to contact Delya and the others in the small country, and establish connections with the empire." Cassia said to herself in the spiritual world, "How many things have changed in the world in two years? Already?"
