Steel steam and flame

Not seeing Hai and Ieta, Cassia and Ye Jielin went to get food and found an empty seat to sit down.

"When we arrive at the imperial station tomorrow, we will be given a day's rest. Then we will decide which snow vehicle to ride through the assessment area according to their corresponding code names." Ye Jielin looked at the food on the plate and carefully said the voice.

"Is it a measure to prevent a team of examiners from forming quickly?" Cassia responded. The Imperial Council thought of this. Among the big family forces, all the people participating in the assessment this time were plural. If they were in the same car from the starting stage, compared with other unknown people, of course those from their own family would be more Be safer. Under special circumstances, it is almost a default thing to speak unanimously to the outside world. This is also the idea that the family power has instilled in their own people since childhood. If this happens, the Knight Squire Assessment will most likely turn into its own competition among the major forces in a few days.

"This is indeed the case. After all, most surgeons are concentrated in nobles and big forces. Even if some small families can participate in the assessment, there are probably only a few people. In order to ensure that everyone has a chance to obtain a quota, use this method Distribution in this way can indeed better achieve the purpose of the Imperial Council. What they need is individual strength and ability, and group combat is temporarily put aside during the assessment." Ye Jielin explained, "It is almost impossible for us to be divided into one car , so we need to determine a suitable time and accurate location. The only reference objects in the assessment range are those mountain peaks, but other people must have the same idea as us, and the surrounding mountains will become a chaotic battlefield. Between everyone Without trusting each other, and without a tacit understanding that both parties can wait quietly for their teammates to join together, corpses frozen into ice are what most people like to see."

"I think it would be better to meet up in a week to avoid the peak period when most people go there."

"Just tell me the time and place." Cassia said, "What about Haike and Ietta? I don't know what's going on with the agreement between you and them. I mentioned this matter a few months ago. I'll do it myself. Look, I still think it would be better not to form a team. They are all unstable factors. Under the premise that we will not be able to compete for a spot without a perfect opportunity, ensuring our own safety until the end of the assessment is our first consideration."

"It counts as a cooperation, but it doesn't count. If we can meet each other in the assessment, forming a team may be a good decision, but if we can't meet..." Ye Jielin stopped here and looked at Cassia , "This is probably the situation. It was proposed by Hai. He is not very interested in cooperation and has changed his mind in the past few months.

"The other is an old question. After the assessment, where do you plan to go?" Ye Jielin put down the tableware and looked at Cassia and asked, "After the assessment, you can no longer stay in the military school. I have asked you many times, but There has never been a clear answer.”

With a wry smile on her face, Cassia had already forgotten about this matter. After thinking about it, Cassia's expression became sincere: "The empire and the military finally chose to go there. The coming war is inevitable. No matter where we go after the assessment, we will be involved in it in a few years. I think it's early Spending some time at the military headquarters will help you."

"Okay, I..." Ye Jielin breathed a sigh of relief, but stopped mid-sentence.

Seeing Ye Jielin's eyes moving behind her, Cassia turned her head. Four people were walking straight through the passage between the dining tables, heading towards her. Ignoring the gazes that suddenly gathered around them, the four of them pulled the empty chairs next to them and sat down directly, looking at Cassia.

"Mr. 233233, right?" the man said, "You can call me Temple. Temple Leonard."

"Yeah." Cassia put down the tableware, nodded, and responded weakly. The Leonard family, one of the twenty-three great families, is mainly engaged in precision manufacturing and instruments, and accounts for a very large proportion of various medical devices in the empire. Ye Jielin will be familiar with the Leonard family. When the Webley Arms Company manufactures high-quality aerial bombs and blue-silver bullets, the core components of the machines that need to be used include the Leonard family. The shadow is there.

"I think you know why I'm here, right?" Temple said, placing his hands on the table, clasping his fingers together, then releasing them and knocking on the table. "From the very beginning, he lost the assessment. The qualification is indeed based on my own lack of strength and has nothing to do with you, Mr. 233233. I later chose to come to you when I was about to arrive at the station, probably just to vent my emotions, and I would never do anything excessive to you. I know him very well, and I can absolutely guarantee this. Therefore, he is currently in the treatment room with his right shoulder and clavicle cut off by a sword. It is unlikely that his right foot will be able to move normally without a month or two of recovery. On the body, seven ribs were broken, several of them became fragments, and the spine was cracked. This is the most serious. With the Leonard family's treatment level, although it can be repaired, there is no guarantee whether it will stay. The sequelae. The situation is much more serious than I expected when I received the news. You see..."

Temple paused, as if to confirm whether Cassia was listening to him carefully. In front of him, Cassia kept her head lowered, staring at the plate with less than half of the food left, as if she was deciding what to eat first.

"To summarize, Mr. No. 233233, did you forget to control the intensity of your attack?"

Seeing that Cassia didn't answer, Temple laughed and turned his eyes to Ye Jielin.

From Temple's words, Ye Jielin already knew what happened. There was a smile on her face. After the theoretical assessment, she felt that Cassia seemed a little different from before. In which aspect, she couldn't tell at all. This came from comparison and her increasingly accurate intuition as a woman.

She didn't know how long ago, but probably not long after the first assessment after entering the military school, she felt that Cassia was missing something important. One of them is not knowing how to "use" the people around you. The other one was discovered by Ye Jielin when she looked at Cassia from her own perspective. But it was not specific at the time. By the time Ye Jielin determined what the other missing thing was, it was already her second school year.

In Ye Jielin's eyes, she would never let herself stand in a passive position. Because that would mean that there would definitely be varying degrees of harm and loss, and it was inevitable. Passivity represents this, along with attributes that must be dealt with. Because when trouble comes to you, no matter whether it is completely solved or not, it will waste your time and energy and disrupt your plans for the future. Therefore, Ye Jielin likes to take the initiative, and it is not a bad idea to call it reasonable prevention. When it is certain that something or someone will pose a threat to herself in the near future and is inevitable, she will directly identify it as an enemy. Everyone knows what happens next as to what the enemy should do.

Gabrieli often reminded her to become quieter, as this way of doing things would bring herself more trouble sooner or later. Ye Jielin always remembered that as time went by, she found that she was indeed changing in the direction Gabriel hoped. But this does not mean that Ye Jielin has fundamentally changed. Her state has only raised the level of identifying threats and enemies.

Ye Jielin believes that this is what Cassia lacks, which is called initiative. Threats and troubles should be prevented and completely nipped in the bud. This is just like wear and tear on a machine. Maintenance is just a temporary solution. No matter how fast the repair is and how perfect the result is, there will always be losses.
