"That’s so thrilling!" Morris was beyond excited and took the opportunity to ask a lot about Elbert.
For example, how the fights are punished, and whether everyone has to wear a combat suit to the cafeteria, etc.
"Not only wear combat suits, but there are even those who wear mechs directly." Lin Fu gestured behind her, "and you can’t be without weapons, otherwise it affects performance. As for the fighting you mentioned, what’s so strange about it? It would be really weird if there weren’t any fights. We’ve not even been at school for half a day, and there have already been two large-scale brawls, one organized by the professional teachers, and one between freshmen and the older students."
Lin Fu’s words attracted everyone nearby to prick up their ears and listen in; some of the more outgoing and cheerful ones simply came over and joined in, boldly listening and eagerly asking questions.
"Aren’t you afraid this will affect your graduation? Doesn’t this seem too unprofessional?"
"Right, won’t it lower your military qualities?"
Lin Fu snorted derisively, "You can tell you’re all freshers, too naive."
This was already the second time in the space of half an hour they had been called naive; naturally, they were not willing to accept that label, the creme de la creme, so they persistently pressed Lin Fu for answers, even squeezing Qin Mo and Su Ye out of the way.
Morris had already transformed into Lin Fu’s number one fanboy, assuming the role of a bodyguard and standing by her side.
Lin Fu stopped eating and sat cross-legged on top of the table, "Do you know the two types of soldiers the Commander most wants to acquire? One is an Artillery Master and the other is the King of Land Combat. Once you Commanders graduate and join the fleet, you’ll see how in demand our Elbert Land Soldiers are."
"Sister Fu, have a drink." New sycophant Morris timely handed over a drink with a straw poking out.
Those surrounding Lin Fu didn’t think much of it, but the students watching from a distance nearly dropped their jaws at Morris’s action.
Was this the defiant, hot-tempered Morris who wouldn’t give Qin Mo face when he lost his temper?
Had he taken the wrong medicine?
Could it be Lin Fu knew the long-lost "Soul-Charming Technique" of Ancient Earth?
Only the Elbert folks were unfazed, especially the members of Mervin Team, who wore an air of pride.
"Thanks!" Lin Fu took a sip of her drink before continuing, "If I were you, I’d take the opportunity during the Newcomer Competition to get on good terms with us. Once you graduate and join the fleet, you could have a King of Land Combat from Elbert at your side."
"Are you the King of Land Combat?" someone challenged.
"I’m not, but the King of Land Combat will definitely come from Elbert, don’t believe me, look it up."
Some actually did look it up, but many others were in awe.
"No need to check, she’s telling the truth. Land Combat is Elbert’s ace specialty, much like our military command; we say we’re second to none, and no one dares to claim first."
Someone enlightened them, "Elbert’s Land Soldiers are not strongest during their time at the Military Academy, but rather after they graduate and serve in the military. According to secret reports issued by the Military Department over the years, Elbert graduates are not only flexible-minded but also have stronger resilience, as well as the courage and tenacity to withstand severe environments and extreme conditions. That’s why in the military, Elbert’s Land Soldiers are the most sought after."
"Calling them the King of Road Transfer is no exaggeration; this year’s freshman Mervin, though only in the first year, has already earned the title of King of Land Combat."
"How did she manage that?" Qin Mo murmured.
