235. Chapter 235: Young People, Must Be Full of Spirit!

Two weeks passed in a flash.

The three stages of team cooperation training were all completed.

The first stage, interstellar warship driving and combat command and operation, everyone passed;

The second stage, team member division and grouping, inter-group tactical drills, and full-team joint training, everyone passed;

The third stage, actual combat exercises based on Lin Ke's personal experience and some classic cases, everyone passed.

After all, the time was a bit short, relying on the tacit understanding that had always existed, the grinding of the ten-person team went quite smoothly.

To say how strong the tactical execution ability and actual combat power were, that was impossible.

Seek truth from facts, cannot deceive oneself.

But to say there was no competitiveness, that was also impossible.

A weak soldier makes a weak soldier, a weak general makes a weak army.

Similarly, Lin Ke, this team leader, is capable, so the combat power that the team members can exert is naturally higher.

This morning, just when Lin Ke was considering whether to formulate a fourth stage of training to strengthen the weak points of the team, the portable smart brain received two notifications in succession.

The first was a summons notification, asking him to go to the Dean's office in the Administrative Building of the Advanced Academy at 14:00 sharp today to meet the Dean.

★★￠o

The second was a conscription notification, Sandra Diomand once again issued a conscription to Lin Ke.

As Lanny said, this conscription was not only aimed at Lin Ke himself but also gave a quota for a ten-person team.

Lin Ke had expected this long ago and was not surprised.

He didn't rush to respond to the conscription, preparing to wait until after meeting the Dean before making a decision.

To be safe, Lin Ke tentatively sent a message to Lanny Taylor, making an appointment for a suitable time to have a video communication.

As a result, Lanny immediately sent a communication request.

Lin Ke agreed to the request and connected the communication.

"What's up?"

Lanny's voice, mixed with slightly noisy background sound, was transmitted out.

"Are you back in the native land?"

Lin Ke didn't rush to talk about serious business and asked curiously.

"No, at the Academy headquarters, accompanying Sandra shopping, she is trying on clothes."

Lanny replied casually.

"Hmm..."

Lin Ke pondered for a while and decided to switch off this topic, saying, "I have to meet the Dean in the afternoon, I don't know what things to talk about yet, to avoid conflict, I didn't rush to respond to Wizard Sandra's conscription."

"This matter."

Lanny turned her head to look in another direction before saying, "There is no difference. The Dean of the native Academy is Sandra's third uncle."

"Okay."

Lin Ke was speechless.

"She's about to come out, hanging up first, I'll notify you if there's anything."

Lanny hurriedly hung up the communication.

Putting down the portable smart brain, Lin Ke turned his chair, looked at the lawn outside the window, and was speechless for a long time.

"What's wrong? Dazing here?"

Mo Li walked into the study, wrapped her hands around Lin Ke from behind, pressed her head against his neck, and asked softly, "Encountered any annoying things, or are you dissatisfied with the results of the team cooperation training?"

"Neither."

Lin Ke grabbed a fair, tender little hand, rubbed it between his palms, and said, "Just feeling that everything in the world is like a big net, people are like a little bird, the bird is in the net, not free."

"Is that so? For things that cannot be resisted for the time being, don't worry too much, leave it for later. There will always be a day when you become strong, break free from the shackles of this net, and be free and easy. We are free to do whatever anyway."

Although she didn't know what matter caused Lin Ke to have such emotions, Mo Li still comforted him in her own way.

Whether it's a boy or a man, it's impossible to be as strong as the surface all the time.

There will always be times of fragility, or being hit, or low will.

Comfort, soothing, and understanding are much stronger than hating that he doesn't strive, complaining about this and that, and comparing east and west.

Lin Ke's mood indeed eased a lot, patted Mo Li's hand, and said: "You go notify them, have everyone do a handover of the work on hand, it won't be long before we have to go to the competition. In addition, gather at the station in the evening, there are some things to talk about."

"Understand, I'll go right now."

Mo Li straightened up, flicked the back of Lin Ke's head, and turned to walk out of the study.

Ever since Lin Ke responded positively to her, Mo Li had truly become more and more letting herself go in front of Lin Ke.

Vaguely having a trend of becoming a little Silk.

It can only be said that Mo Li chose Wizard Selinn as a role model and had already learned five points of form and six points of spirit.

Who knows when she will have a whim and want to eat Lin Ke.

After lunch and a short rest, Lin Ke chose to go to the Dean's office a little earlier.

Mo Li strongly requested to accompany him.

15 minutes before the scheduled 14:00, Lin Ke had already arrived near the administration.

Mo Li stopped not far downstairs, watching Lin Ke walk into the administration building.

As if seeing off a young soldier about to go to the battlefield to strengthen his momentum.

It is no exaggeration to say that this meeting can indeed be counted as a war.

A war without smoke.

The Dean's office occupied the entire top floor of the administration building, and the door was tightly closed.

There was a bench in the corridor, and Lin Ke sat down to wait quietly.

Waiting until 13:59, Lin Ke got up and knocked on the door lightly.

"Enter."

A deep and magnetic male baritone came from the office.

Lin Ke pushed the door open, walked into the office, faced the gaze of the Dean who had the appearance and dress of a middle-aged man, and walked steadily to the desk.

It seemed that he hadn't been affected much by that oppressive gaze.

"Lin Ke Grande, reporting to you."

After standing still, Lin Ke introduced himself in a calm and steady voice.

"Hmm, sit."

The Dean pointed to the chair beside Lin Ke.

"Thank you, Dean."

Lin Ke sat down immediately, not sitting fully, but also not making the fawning appearance of only sitting on the edge of the chair.

Neither humble nor pushy, with courtesy and rhythm.

"Do you know why you were called here?"

The Dean's magnetic voice opened, asking casually.

The big boss can be casual, but Lin Ke dare not be casual.

This question is also not easy to answer.

Answering knowing, or not knowing, are both not quite appropriate.

Knowing?

Who told you in advance?

Not knowing?

Even unable to guess the superior's intentions, what use are you?

So Lin Ke replied: "Everything obeys the Dean's command."

Avoiding the heavy and taking the light, the universal formula.

"Heh..."

The Dean laughed lightly, "Slippery."

Raising his hand and pointing at Lin Ke, the Dean said:

"Looking at you like this, you must understand some things about the competition, but don't understand much, have no bottom in your heart, and dare not answer rashly.

Let me tell you this, the Academy is preparing to send four teams composed of Level 1 Wizards promoted within four years to participate in a competition between several Wizard organizations in the Michelle District a week later.

You are one of the team leaders already decided.

Your team is formed by yourself.

The Academy's requirement for you is to keep five and enter three in the team competition, and look at one while sitting at three in the individual competition, do you have confidence?"

The team competition is hard to say, but for the individual competition, Lin Ke is full of confidence.

However, Lin Ke dare not make a military order casually.

If the words are too full and not achieved, it is easy to create backlash.

Commonly known as don't just set a flag.

He asked tentatively: "Can I know which Wizard organizations will send teams?"

"Of course."

The Dean laughed, "This bit of information can still be told to you in advance. A total of 5, our Rivose Academy, Shadow City, Metal and Flame Trading Company, Mesopotamia University, White Tower Alliance."

These 5 Wizard organizations are all powerful Wizard organizations in the Michelle District second only to the Michelle Great Sage Tower.

Each sends 4 teams, a total of 20 teams.

Keeping five and entering three in the team competition has a certain difficulty, but it is not completely impossible. Lin Ke estimated his own strength and the strength of his direct members, feeling that there was still a certain grasp to complete this goal.

Compared to some teams that might be composed entirely of senior Level 1 Wizards,

The disadvantage of "Do Whatever Is Free" is only that the time for all members to become Level 1 Wizards is a bit short.

Talent, resources, equipment, Wizardry, training, tactical execution, none of them will be bad.

Thinking about it, Lin Ke replied cautiously: "Dare not guarantee, can only guarantee, must go all out to strive for a good ranking."

"You..."

The Dean pointed at Lin Ke again, "Just slippery. I still know your strength. For you, is it hard to look at one while sitting at three in the individual competition? Not hard at all! Forget it, still don't give you too much pressure, do your best, don't hide your clumsiness."

"Thank you, Dean, for understanding."

Lin Ke immediately thanked him, and then stated his position, "Must go all out, strive for the upper reaches, and win glory for the Academy."

"Hmm."

The Dean responded and brought up another matter, "Sandra will serve as the leader of the Academy this time, leading the Academy's four teams to participate in the competition. Because she has a private gambling agreement, she needs to compare with someone from the Metal and Flame Trading Company, the results of the teams under their respective names. So she conscripted you and your team. I think you can consider responding to the conscription."

"Yes, after I go back, I will respond immediately."

Lin Ke agreed immediately.

Sure enough, as Lanny said, responding early and responding late made no difference.

This matter had already been decided before he received the conscription notification.

"Last time she conscripted you, there were some twists and turns in the middle, causing her mind not to be on legion management and the mission, so she ignored many things. Later, it was your report sent to her that reminded her."

The Dean started another new topic at this time, "She entrusted me to pass some items to you, as a subsidy for conscripting you last time, and as a reward for your excellent performance."

Saying this, the Dean pulled open a drawer of the desk, took out three scrolls from it, and placed them in front of Lin Ke: "She learned that you have always been looking for 'Battle Armor' type 1-ring Wizardry, so she prepared these for you. This is what you deserve, rest assured and take it, don't push it away."

"Yes, thank you, Dean, thank you, Wizard Sandra."

Lin Ke didn't act coy at all, and in front of the Dean, put the three Wizardry model scrolls into the "Small World."

The Dean sensed a different spatial fluctuation, sensed it intently, and suddenly laughed out loud, saying a somewhat inexplicable sentence: "Waters probably wants to hate Rosenthal to death."

Lin Ke didn't understand very clearly for a while, but intuitively felt that the two people mentioned in the words were related to his "Small World."

He used the "Small World" in front of the Dean, which itself had the meaning of testing.

The Dean couldn't have failed to see it, but still made such an emotion, which was to point out Lin Ke.

So, thoughts flashed rapidly in Lin Ke's mind, and he made a relatively reasonable guess:

Waters is ten to nine the high-level existence who gave him the "Seed" in the form of an extra reward for the first-year Grand Comparison;

Rosenthal is very likely the high-level existence who gave Lin Ke help in the Apprentice Cultivation Secret Realm for unknown reasons, allowing him to truly possess the ownership of the "Seed."

After guessing these, there was no joy in Lin Ke's heart.

But vague worry.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Only hope that the struggle between these two high-level existences will not affect him.

A grain of dust in the era, falling on an individual, is a mountain.

A spark overflowing from the struggle of big bosses, falling on a low-level Wizard, can definitely burn them until not even ashes are left.

"Don't be afraid, as long as your stance is firm, you will definitely be fine."

The Dean saw Lin Ke's worry, spoke to comfort him, and also pointedly.

"Yes."

Lin Ke could only reply like this.

Whether he understood the point or not, there was no difference.

Honestly be a quail that only knows how to nod.

"Alright, let's stop here, go back and prepare well. Before departure, the detailed rules of the competition will be sent to your hands."

The Dean waved his hand, signaling Lin Ke to go.

Lin Ke got up, bowed, and exited the office.

It wasn't until he walked out of the Advanced Academy Administrative Building that Lin Ke let out a long breath of turbid air, relaxing his tense heartstrings and the "Brain Seal Technique" that had been running at full power.

The pressure the Dean gave Lin Ke was much higher than that behemoth hidden behind the Level 5 Mother Nest.

Lin Ke hadn't experienced the feeling of his back being covered in cold sweat for a long time.

"How was it?"

Mo Li greeted him from afar and asked with concern.

"It's okay, normal mission, normal execution."

Lin Ke didn't hide it from Mo Li, saying, "It's just that I still have to respond to Wizard Sandra's conscription, representing her, and having a competition in results with another team."

"No impact on serious business, right?"

"Shouldn't be."

After Mo Li finished asking what she wanted to know, looking at the cold sweat on Lin Ke's forehead, she said with concern: "Let's go back to the villa and take a rest."

"Hmm."

Lin Ke nodded and agreed.

Mo Li drove the "Phantom Coupe," carrying Lin Ke back to the lakeside villa.

Entering the villa, Mo Li was busy, handing Lin Ke a towel, and ordering the butler Hamid to make tea,

Until she was sure that Lin Ke was no longer sweating coldly and had completely calmed down, Mo Li stopped her movements.

Lin Ke saw all this in his eyes, considering that Mo Li's precipitation was almost enough, he decided to use the usage count of the Official Wizard-level Cultivation Secret Realm that he had been holding in his hand for Mo Li after the competition ended.

In this way, the time Mo Li stays at the Level 1 Wizard stage will not be too long.

After a significant improvement, it will not lead to an unstable foundation.

Lin Ke temporarily pressed this decision in his heart and didn't notify Mo Li.

Let it be a surprise then.

Evening.

Lin Ke gathered the Benevolent Brother Group and the Social Anxiety Group as promised at the station of "Do Whatever Is Free" in the Advanced Academy.

"Team competition, keep five and strive for three!"

Lin Ke paced around the nine team members, walking and talking.

"This is the Dean's requirement for us."

"I didn't agree to it."

"Instead, I said I would go all out to strive for it."

"Why?"

"You tell me."

Starting from Mo Li, Lin Ke made eye contact with the five brothers and three fake social anxiety members one by one.

A moment later, Lynn stepped out, his tone slightly unnatural, saying: "Because our strength is not enough, so the big boss's confidence is insufficient."

"Is there anyone else who holds the same idea as Lynn?"

Signaling Lynn to return to the team, Lin Ke asked.

No one responded for a long time.

Shaking his head, Lin Ke said: "No matter what you want to say, just say it! Could it be that our 'Do Whatever Is Free' doesn't even have this bit of freedom?"

"Report! I think the big boss has other considerations, I can't guess the big boss's mind for a while, so I dare not talk nonsense."

Buck stood out in response and said so.

"You all think the same as Buck?"

"Yes, big boss."

Lin Ke stopped pacing, stood steadily, and raised his right index finger:

"The reason I didn't agree to the Dean is very simple.

Keep five and strive for three?

No, I Lin Ke Grande, we 'Do Whatever Is Free' only have this bit of ambition?

Screw the keep five and strive for three!

If we want to strive, we must strive for a first place back.

Whoever dares to stop us, we will kill whoever!

Do you have confidence?"

Everyone was made blood-boiling by Lin Ke's short words, and they all roared loudly: "Yes!"

"What confidence do you have?"

Lin Ke opened his right hand, placed it by his ear, and made a listening gesture.

"Take first place!"

"Wrong!"

Lin Ke's expression was serious, correcting solemnly,

"It's to flip everyone!" ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
