o’clock, Academy Center at Specialty Pavilion Academy.
The assembly horn echoed throughout the academy, and all trainees at Specialty Pavilion Academy knew that the first class was about to go on a mission. As they worried for them, they watched them gather at the meeting point.
Gu Tiancheng, wearing trainee attire, bore a badge on his shoulder signifying his rank. Standing at the forefront of the trainees, he spoke: "Trainees of Longxing Country! You’ve really worked hard!"
The very first sentence captured everyone’s attention. They all looked at Gu Tiancheng, listening intently to Gu Wangjue’s speech!
"Within the borders of Longxing Country, there’s been an emergency with rampant weapons dealing, and these weapons dealers are wreaking havoc, severely disrupting the lives of Longxing Country’s people and threatening their safety! Our mission this time is to eliminate these bandits and restore peace and tranquility to Longxing Country. Do you have confidence?"
The resounding voices echoed across the entire assembly area. Everyone was full of spirit, brimming with confidence. To eradicate these scourges and safeguard the country, while maintaining the stability of the people’s lives, was their responsibility and mission.
Gu Tiancheng nodded in satisfaction, scanning through all the trainees on the battlefield. They are the hope of the young generation, and even more so, the future of Longxing Country. He did not look closely, just skimmed over briefly, perfectly overlooking the figure at the very back of Specialty Pavilion Academy...
A light blue Medical Center hat was pressed down to the lowest point, and a mask covered the entire face, almost reaching the eyes. From the front, apart from a pair of sparkling black eyes, nothing else could be seen.
No need to think, this masked person was little Gu Tong. She cautiously looked around, entirely in a sneaky posture, afraid of being discovered.
Suddenly, a puzzled Royal Doctor standing beside her lowered his voice and said, "Hey buddy, what are you doing? Is it really necessary to cover up so tightly?"
"Cough, cough..." Gu Tong was taken aback and began to cough. She wasn’t just mildly disguised; she was completely unrecognizable, even in terms of gender...
She glanced at the Royal Doctor next to her. He wore a blue Medical Center uniform with no disguise at all.
She twitched her mouth. This outfit isn’t uniform at all...
"Didn’t you come to work yesterday? Didn’t you hear Old Xue’s speech? It’s dangerous for us Royal Doctors on the battlefield, and we must not show our faces. That’s a big taboo..."
"There’s such a thing..." It was also this person’s first time on the battlefield, so he wasn’t prepared and didn’t know any such cover-up was needed.
Gu Tong activated her bluffing mode, adjusted her hat, and said, "Of course, Old Xue mentioned it; that’s why I’ve been vigilant. That’s why I’ve got a special mask to cover my face. You know, when on a mission outside, only when you’re safe can you more effectively strike the enemy, right, buddy?"
The person realized it belatedly but started feeling a bit anxious and said, "I didn’t see Old Xue yesterday, so I didn’t hear. We even have another Royal Doctor here. I noticed just now he wasn’t covering his face either, so he probably doesn’t know too."
"You guys are just too careless." Fortunately, classmate Gu Tong had foresight. She took out two specially made extended masks and handed them over, saying, "Here’s one for you, and another for him. Luckily, I prepared a couple extra, or else what would you have done?"
The person was deeply moved, took the mask, and thanked her, "You really thought things through. Thank you so much..."
Gu Tong waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "We’re all comrades, here to help each other. Put on the mask quickly; we’re setting off in a bit. Old Xue is at the front. If you’re caught not following the rules, he’ll definitely be upset."
"Alright, alright..."
The person, scared and hurrying, put on the mask, eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for the other Royal Doctor comrade, thinking about quickly delivering the mask to him to avoid angering Old Xue.
