Ch 68: A well-behaved child

This was a plan conceived on the spur of the moment, yet meticulously crafted.

From the information they had, the Dark Clan would secretly gather and launch a sudden attack just as dawn broke.

After the Undercover Agent emerged from the Underground Waterway, they would relay this information to the Dark Legion within Meng Academy’s campus.

The initial plan was to abduct the Undercover Agent, force them to reveal the locations and numbers of the Dark Legion units, and then launch a surprise attack.

“But we don’t know where the nearest Dark Legion unit is hiding,” Eric pointed out the flaw in the plan, “Where should we abduct the Undercover Agent?”

This location was far from the Shelter; if they didn’t choose the right spot, they would face great trouble if exposed.

However, according to the map, and Jian Ni and Wu La La’s observations following the Undercover Agent almost all the way into the Underground Waterway, the defenses near the Underground Waterway were relatively weak, making the risk of capture high.

Several people huddled in a small corner of Meng Academy, Jian Ni keeping watch, Wu La La monitoring the Undercover Agent’s movements on the tracker.

“Jian Ni and I will capture the Undercover Agent, Wu Ke Na Na and Wu La La will provide support. If anything goes wrong, Eric, you distract the Dark Clan. We’ll meet at the Library.”

The plan went smoothly; in this quiet night, not a single unnecessary sound was made.

However, the number of Dark Legion soldiers known from the Undercover Agent was far more than they had anticipated. Meng Academy was also well-connected. Instead of wiping out the Dark Legion, they were more likely to alert them.

They finally decided that Wu Ke Na Na, who was similar in build, would impersonate the Undercover Agent, and they would knock out several Dark Soldiers to impersonate the Dark Clan, following behind Wu Ke Na Na.

The message still got out, but the time and direction of the attack were changed.

It’s just that in this counterattack, something unexpected… well, an unexpected event occurred.

Perhaps an unexpected event in a good direction—

The Old Soldier arrived at Meng Academy for support much earlier than mentioned in the reply, and they overwhelmed the Dark Clan with their superior numbers.

The Dark Clan scattered and fled, and Meng Academy returned to its normal state.

“Wow, was this also part of your plan?” Jian Ni excitedly slapped Mi Ya Xing on the back, who dodged as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

“I’d love to say so,” the crisis was completely over, and he was in the mood to joke, “But if I could clearly know the whereabouts of the Council of Elders’ Elders, I’d probably be taken away for questioning.”

Rui Bu Si was curiously looking up and down at an Old Soldier, demonstrating various greetings from different planets and races with extremely unorthodox movements.

The Old Soldier remained motionless.

Mi Ya Xing’s gaze fell on those strange movements, while he also casually responded to Jian Ni.

The other person naturally didn’t notice the casualness: “Knowing the whereabouts of the Council of Elders means being taken away for questioning? It’s that serious?”

“Abso~lutely!”

Over there, they seemed to have finished all the greetings they could think of, but still stood in place, seemingly pondering more strange things.

“Mi Ya Xing.”

A gentle yet serious voice. Mi Ya Xing turned around: “Hi, Eric, and Wu Ke Na Na.”

“Director Pa doesn’t even know about this, yet students inexplicably do? Of course, the Council of Elders would want to know why,” Wu Ke Na Na said with disdain, “How are you so easily tricked?”

Jian Ni:?

When was he ever tricked?

Could this even be considered being tricked?

Mi Ya Xing was just interrupted by Wu Ke Na Na before he could finish speaking, alright?!

“I wasn’t tricked at all!” He complained, the other three exchanged smiles.

“Yeah, I wasn’t tricking him,” Mi Ya Xing feigned grievance.

Glancing behind him, Eric noticed Rui Bu Si acting strangely behind Jian Ni: “What is she… doing?”

“Student Rui Bu Si,” unable to understand the meaning of these movements, “Is there something wrong with the Old Soldier?”

She seemed to have been doing this for a while now, oblivious to her surroundings. He looked at Rui Bu Si, then at the Old Soldier, but saw nothing amiss.

“I’m paying my respects to him,” she performed all the known greetings from various planets, but the other party didn’t react at all, “So impolite.”

Um…

“I think he probably just didn’t understand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Old Soldier quickly returned a standard salute.

“Oh, then his eyesight is really bad.”

“Why did you suddenly decide to greet the Old Soldier?”

As they walked towards the crowd, several of the Old Soldiers behind them visibly relaxed.

“Because I’m a polite good child.”

Because she was in a good mood.

The System suddenly judged her mission to save Naiya a success~

She no longer had to run all over the campus every day for the Daily Ten Good Deeds mission~~

Eric was amused by this answer. Observing that she was quite serious and not joking, he replied, “Yes, I think the Old Soldier felt your politeness.”

“Why are you the only one who’s polite?” Jian Ni was unconvinced. Since their last fight which he hadn’t won, they would occasionally “butt heads” on certain issues, “Lan Bao, let’s…”

Almost forgot, Lan Bao and Xia Guanglei had gone off to do something and weren’t here now.

No problem!

He ran to the Old Soldier, believing his salute was far more standard than Rui Bu Si’s.

The Old Soldier: …

Jian Ni: “See? The Old Soldier didn’t understand what you were doing for a long time, but he understood my salute immediately. My movements were more standard!”

Rui Bu Si: “So what? I was much earlier!”

Seeing them about to quarrel, Eric quickly stepped in to mediate.

As Student Council President, he was familiar with such scenes and handled them skillfully.

Just as they could quarrel over something inexplicable, they reconciled very quickly.

After getting breakfast from the Infirmary and finding them, Lan Bao handed them out one by one: “Director Pa kept scolding you this morning, Big Brother guessed you didn’t have breakfast, thankfully Head Nurse Da Tiantian also specially saved some for you.”

Holding up his breakfast, Jian Ni proudly declared: “You don’t have any, but I do!”

Rui Bu Si: …

Her gaze fell on Lan Bao as if it were tangible. Although Lan Bao didn’t understand, she still apologized: “Sorry, I didn’t know you were here too.”

But, didn’t she eat breakfast this morning? Even if she knew she was here, the Infirmary wouldn’t have an extra portion.

He didn’t say it aloud.

That morning, two people almost fought over a breakfast.

It almost ended with Eric giving up his portion.

Why “almost”?

Staring at their steamed buns for a long time, comparing them, Mi Ya Xing stood next to Rui Bu Si and said meaningfully: “Jian Ni’s steamed bun is a little bigger than yours.”

Lan Bao took a closer look after hearing this: “Really!”

Jian Ni proudly raised his head, in contrast, the other was furious.

Eric: …

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere here, Director Pa Hua Luo Di felt quite complicated in his office.

Reinforcements arriving, and even early, was certainly good.

But how could it be this person?

“Director Pa, you seem to have a lot of objections to me?”

“How could that be?” He forced a professional smile, “Elder Ous, you’ve come to Meng Academy, I’m just… overjoyed, ha, haha!”

He gave a few dry laughs. That little bit of gratitude was gone, flapping its wings and flying away under such a serious expression~

Yes, there were so many Elders in the Council of Elders, why did it have to be this person?

Who could save him?

Anyone would do!

Ousgaida just looked at him, neither confirming nor denying, but clearly not believing him.

Pa Hua Luo Di: …

Such a face that seemed incapable of showing a different expression could completely sap his desire to speak.

Old classmates hadn’t seen each other for years, but their relationship during their student days wasn’t particularly good, they had already run out of things to say back then, and now they had even less to talk about.

The two sat in silence.

“Excuse me, is there anything else… you wish to instruct?”

“Humph,” Ousgaida coldly snorted, “The Meng Knights and Naiya are both here, yet they’re helpless against the current predicament. I see your Meng Knights aren’t all that.”

Pa Hua Luo Di: …

Why do I suddenly want to hit an Elder?

Who will stop him?

Anyone will do!

“Hi, Senior, long time no see!”

…

This is strange, did he go crazy from anger? Did he just hear a hallucination?
