“Your highness, your highness… Slow down, you should put away your companion beast first, you forgot that the Duke is now…” The servant was afraid that Qin Lang would be upset. After all, he also served under Qin Lang, and now his former master was meeting with his current master. While others were excited to see the show, he was trembling, for fear that the two masters would hate each other.
“Oh oh oh, right, right, right, I’m so rude.” Yuan Heng hurriedly stopped to put away his companion beast, and tidied up his clothes before walking towards Qin Lang nervously.
“My lord, the eldest prince is here.” Qin Jiang said blankly.
Qin Lang frowned and looked at the legendary real eldest prince who now had a look of excitement like seeing his idol in action. The dean thought that Qin Lang was really unhappy, all of them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak anymore.
When Yuan Heng was still a few steps away from Qin Lang, Qin Lang bowed his head and saluted, “Your highness.”
Qin Jiang also saluted: “Your highness.”
“Lord Duke!” Yuan Heng greeted Qin Lang excitedly, then looked at Qin Jiang behind Qin Lang in embarrassment, “Uh… I’m sorry, I…”
“This is Major General Qin, Qin Jiang, the only son of Marshal Qin. Your highness should have heard of him.” Qin Lang did not let the embarrassment continue to spread, and introduced Yuan Heng generously, “When your highness came back, Qin Jiang was still in Wuze District.”
Yuan Heng: “Major General Qin.”
Qin Jiang nodded a little coldly.
Although the students, who had stopped training a long time ago didn’t speak, their expressions were more or less sarcastic, either to Yuan Heng, who had no aristocratic demeanor, or to Qin Lang, who used to be aloof and now disabled. They were watching the ridiculous scene as the two pretend to be friendly in front of everyone when they actually don’t like each other.
Qin Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the group of students who had just returned from break, and asked coldly, “Dean, are these Red One students?”
The dean swallowed and replied: “Yes, Lord Duke, this is only the first week, they…”
Qin Lang snorted coldly and interrupted his words, and said to Qin Jiang behind him: “Qin Jiang, I remember when we went to school in Winged before, we didn’t dare to be lazy even on the first day of school.”
Qin Jiang, who had lost his smile when he saw Yuan Heng, finally smiled when he heard this: “Yes. Whoever doesn’t keep their back straight will be beaten. At that time, dozens of us, except for my lord, were all beaten up by the instructor staff.”
Yuan Heng seemed very interested: “Why? Because the Duke has a special status?”
Qin Jiang’s expression changed. He was not afraid of the new prince at all. He glanced at him to make sure there was no deliberate sarcasm on his face, and then said: “Because my lord is impeccable, the instructor naturally cannot punish him. Your highness has been here for a week, the instructor doesn’t dare to make demands on you because of your status?”
Yuan Heng was a little embarrassed and scratched his ears: “…I was glared almost to death by the instructor…”
Qin Lang scrutinized him from head to toe. Yuan Heng stood upright, like a student whose homework was being checked by the teacher, which caused the onlookers over there to laugh again.
Qin Lang frowned and looked into his nervous eyes: “Your Highness, didn’t you hear what they were laughing at?”
Yuan Heng smiled indifferently: “They are right, I really have no ability…”
Qin Lang’s brows furrowed even deeper, his every expression said that he was extremely disappointed with this eldest prince.
Yuan Heng’s self-healing attempt to make the atmosphere a bit more relaxed was completely unsuccessful. Instead, it wasn’t known what he said, he stood at a little loss in front of Qin Lang as his face turned pale.
Although there’s no fluctuation in Qin Lang’s tone, it was definitely two degrees lower than when he first greeted Yuan Heng: “Your highness, it’s time for you to go back to training.”
“…” Yuan Heng had to leave.
“Ha, he was disliked by the Duke…”
“I heard that the person he admired most in the past was the Duke, but the Duke only appreciates powerful people, but he…”
“Ask to be hated.”
Yuan Heng pursed his lips. Although the students’ discussion was not loud, he still heard it clearly. His face was extremely bad, he looked back at the large group of people who had turned and left. The figure of that person was completely blocked by the tall and straight man behind him. No matter how he looked, he could not even see a piece of his clothes.
Left in the dust. Just like when he returned to the palace, everyone, including himself, thought of these four words when comparing him to Qin Lang.
Yuan Heng’s head slumped and whispered to himself: “What should I do? I seem to be hated by the Duke…”
Listening to the laughter of those classmates, he felt it was ear-piercing for the first time. Of course, besides being embarrassed, he was a little angry.
The servant’s worries really occurred, “Your highness…”
Yuan Heng stopped and looked at those classmates, who no longer talked about him, as he approached, “I don’t want to go anymore…Let’s go back to the classroom.”
The college is divided into four departments. Red Wings, Green Wings, Blue Wings, and White Wings. Corresponding to it are those who have combat-type companion beasts, auxiliary abilities beasts, create beast armor, and those who come to learn textbook knowledge and improve their temperament and culture.
Although those departments all belong to the same academy, the color of their school uniform is different according to their department name.
The red and blue divisions generally join the army directly after graduating from the academy, and if they graduate with good grades, they can also be recommended by the instructors and directly serve as second lieutenants.
90% of the Red division will join the army, while Green, who is not very combative, can choose to go into research as well as medicine. The white division is the most and are those nobles, who do not have companion animals or who are relatively useless, and only come to the academy to get a degree, their status in the academy is also the lowest.
As for the blue division which made beast armor, it is actually the most popular, not for anything else but because it is the most profitable after graduation. Beast armor can not only improve companion beast defense power, but highly skilled beast armor master can also greatly improve the attack ability of the companion beast.
Although the environment they live in looks safe, those monsters will occasionally attack the human world on a large scale, which requires one person to have at least one set of beast armor by his side just in case. The quality of the beast armor directly determines the safety of their companion beast, so a set of top-quality beast armor will naturally yield a lot of money.
There are actually many academies in Yi country, but Winged is definitely the one with the best resources. If nothing else, the instructors who train Red division are all retired soldiers with at least a lieutenant commander. Moreover, those who want to join the army must also graduate from such academies. After all, to fight with monsters, it is not enough to just fill up the numbers. Wouldn’t that just be giving heads of people, who have no companion beasts, to the monsters?
Those soldiers who are not suitable for the battlefield for various reasons will go to such academies to continue to serve the country and maintain their glory after retiring.
Qin Lang is also one of them.
The dean gave Qin Lang the position of Red one instructor, but Qin Lang himself asked for Red six. Red has six classes, each with fifty students. The classes are not completely based on the time of their academy entry, but also on ability. The best one is the Red one, and the last one is the Red six.
The last is the most complicated one. Newly enrolled students are usually placed in this class, along with those seniors who have not improved their abilities for a long time and are stagnant and unwilling to drop out.
The dean hesitated: “My lord, is Red six…”
Qin Lang raised his eyelids: “Are you questioning my ability?”
The dean quickly shook his head, “No no no, of course not.”
The dean was obviously afraid that Qin Lang would try to force himself to act as soon as he came. However, most of the Red six students were freshmen with very weak progress. He was afraid that Qin Lang would not be able to raise a few outstanding students. In the end, he will slap him from shame and anger, throwing fire on his head.
Qin Lang was very happy to see the old dean’s expression. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, “Don’t worry, dean, I chose Red six because my wife also enrolled today. I want to teach him personally, and I also want to provide some of my own experience to those students who cannot improve.”
The dean breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Lang said it bluntly that he wanted to do that because of his wife, he was relieved. Like this, Qin Lang will pay attention to Mu Yin’s grades alone, and he is the only one responsible for Mu Yin’s grades. Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, there is no reason to push everything to the academy and let the academy take the blame.
Qin Jiang, who had been standing behind Qin Lang, drooped his eyelids and pursed his lips into a straight line. He didn’t know if he was surprised or disappointed by Qin Lang’s behavior. He didn’t seem to care about others and was even a little irresponsible or something else and was silent – for example, Qin Lang’s relationship with his wife seems to be quite good.
The dean also assigned a assiatnt instructor to Qin Lang. After all, Qin Lang did not have a companion beast, and many demonstrations couldn’t be completed by him. Moreover, sometimes the training is field training, so it is not convenient for Qin Lang to take students to complete tasks with his current situation – he himself needs protection.
After seeing the assistant instructor, Qin Lang suddenly said to the dean, “Transfer the first prince to Red six.”
The dean was a little dumbfounded, and didn’t know if he should follow Qin Lang’s words.
Qin Jiang frowned, “My lord…” As if to remind Qin Lang that even if he doesn’t like Yuan Heng, Yuan Heng is still the first prince no matter how incompetent he is. Directly change Yuan Heng change from the best Red one to Red six, no matter how incompetent he is, anyone who sees it will think it was an obvious provocation. If it is light, it is a personal provocation against Yuan Heng, and if it is serious, it is against the royal family.
Qin Lang didn’t like to repeat it a second time: “Send someone to ask his opinion, just say what I said. If he doesn’t want to, tell him to come see me.” Going straight to him, even the first prince his highness honorary title was omitted.
“This…” The dean broke into a cold sweat. Is the duke too crazy? Isn’t he afraid that his majesty will think that he deliberately makes things difficult?
Qin Lang raised his chin impatiently and said to the assistant instructor, “Go.”
The assistant instructor used to be Qin Lang’s subordinate. He was seriously injured a few months ago. It would be no problem if he recovered and then went to the battlefield. However, after the second prince took over Qin Lang’s legion, as long as they were Qin Lang’s former capable subordinates, he would use various methods to make them retire early. The same goes for the assistant instructor.
Although he was dissatisfied, Qin Lang had already left, and he didn’t want to make those useless requests anymore, so he came to Winged to fight for the position of instructor.
Now that he can work under Qin Lang again, the assistant instructor was unexpected and pleasantly surprised. He had no objection to Qin Lang’s orders. He bowed to Qin Lang and immediately went to find the first prince.
Qin Lang said to the dean whose face was full of ‘it over it over’: “Dean, then I will go to Red six to see how the students are doing.”
The dean smiled awkwardly: “Oh, okay, thank you for your hard work.” Watching Qin Lang leave the dean’s room, the dean wiped the cold sweat from his forehead vigorously.
On the way, Qin Jiang was still pushing Qin Lang, Qin Lang said, “If you still have something to do, go do it first.”
Qin Jiang: “It’s not a particularly urgent matter. I’ll send you off before leaving.”
Qin Lang nodded: “Alright, I’ll take you to meet Mu Yin by the way. Also, Qin Jiang, now I’m not a soldier nor your commander. Your mother is also my mother, you can call me brother.”
“…” Qin Jiang looked down from the top of Qin Lang’s black hair. Soon he raised his head to focus on the particularly conspicuous silver-haired youth in the corridor.
The young man was refusing a certain request from a youth who seemed to be only sixteen with a cold face. After he caught a glimpse of Qin Lang’s figure out of the corner of his eye, his originally cold face suddenly melted, revealing a faint smile. He stared at the youth, who should have been displeased from being rejected standing in front of him.
“Lang Lang.” It was a standard three tone, but the youth’s voice was clear and refreshing, it gave off a feeling of being coquettish.
Qin Lang pulled Mu Yin and his left hand wearing the same ring with a smile, “You can’t call me that again in the future.”
“Why?” Mu Yin was not happy. Qin Lang seemed to see the little fox’s ears drooping down above his head.
“Because from today, I’m your instructor and Red six, you have to call me an instructor.” He pulled Mu Yin closer and whispered, “When we get home, you can do as you like.”
The little fox blinked, his face was slightly red, his expression was simple and upright, then he whispered to Qin Lang, biting his ears: “Then…is it okay to go home to kiss you?”
Qin Lang couldn’t help laughing twice and whispered, “No, it’s only okay when there’s no one around.”
“But when we came today, there were so many people, you still kissed me.” The little fox seemed a little dissatisfied.
Although they spoke in a low voice, the Red department were all people with excellent companion beasts, their hearing was stronger than ordinary people, so almost everyone around them heard their conversations. As a result, this corridor is more or less the same as the scene of butchering dogs.
Qin Lang recalled, it was just a kiss, nothing at all, “You…”
However, when Qin Lang wanted to rub the head of his cute little fox, he caught the provocation and coldness that flashed in the little fox’s eyes, which was towards Qin Jiang behind Qin Lang.
Oh, the little fox’s senses are very keen, so he found his love rival so quickly and made a move in front of his rival.
Unconsciously, he was brought by the little fox to show a wave of love to his rival. Is his little fox also a scheming fox?
That’s right, Qin Jiang likes Qin Lang. Qin Lang can judge with certainty without letting the system help him to see his favorability. Although Qin Jiang himself is very good at hiding it, and most of what he shows is just admiration, Qin Lang is not the original owner who can only fight monsters and doesn’t know love.
