Chapter 168 Farewell
Chapter 168 Farewell
"I really don't know what you're thinking. With your talent, there's no need for you to participate in the battle. As long as you're given time, you'll surpass us and become the pillar of the army."
"But you just had to go. You even said that you could only find opportunities in danger and grow faster."
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm so angry!"
Yan Wuyue, who was standing in the dean's office, didn't dare to say a word. She just accepted the old man's reprimand.
"What, you're not saying anything now? You know how to bypass me and talk to the dean of the empire's research institute for half an hour, but now you're not saying anything to me?"
Looking at the furious old man, Yan Wuyue rolled her eyes and could only choose to say in a coquettish tone, "Dean, don't be angry. Slow down first."
"Slow, slow my ass. You're almost driving me to my grave!" The dean clutched his chest and roared.
"Dean, we humans might not lose. I'm going to participate in the battle so that I can have a better resume in the future. This way, I can also bring glory to the academy." Yan Wuyue hurried forward and patted the dean's back.
Zhou Mingrui, who was beside her, was amazed when he saw this. He could not help but ridicule when he saw the dean's expression ease up. If he were in her shoes, he would probably not only be scolded but might even be given a violent beating without being able to retaliate.
"Forget it. I can't control you anymore. The orders from above have come down. You can go and register in the next few days."
The dean sighed. "Remember to take good care of yourself. Don't always rush to the front."
After finally coaxing the dean, Yan Wuyue heaved a sigh of relief when she came out of the office.
"You just watch from the side. I'll be the one taking care of it anyway!" Yan Wuyue looked at Zhou Mingrui and snorted.
"I'm just a summoned spirit. I can't just interrupt and talk nonsense." Zhou Mingrui shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright, let's go. We'll go to the army enlistment office to register." Yan Wuyue didn't want to waste any more time talking to this guy, so she walked outside.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the registration office in the city.
"You two want to join the army?" The soldier at the registration desk asked in surprise when he saw Yan Wuyue's young face.
"It's me, Sir. He's my summoned spirit." Yan Wuyue explained to the officer.
"Oh, a rare humanoid summoned spirit." The officer was surprised.
It was very rare for a summoned spirit to have the appearance of a human, a certain level of intelligence, and the ability to speak.
"Thank you. I was just lucky." Yan Wuyue said lightly.
"Fill in the form and pass it over." The officer didn't waste any more time. He handed Yan Wuyue a form and continued to interview the next person.
After filling in the form, the officer took it and looked at it in surprise. "You're only seventeen this year, and you're already a Gold grader. That's rare!"
After scanning a few lines, the officer suddenly exclaimed, "Huh, you're also a reserve student of the empire's research institute?"
"That's right." Yan Wuyue nodded. "What's wrong?"
The officer immediately smiled and said, "I'm from the empire's research institute, so I'll be your future senior."
"Then I'll call you senior brother first." Yan Wuyue immediately shouted.
"Hahaha, alright, you've passed the verification."
The officer then handed a watch and medal to Yan Wuyue and continued, "Keep it. All military electronic messages will be transmitted to you through this watch. The medal is your identification."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Yan Wuyue continued to say sweetly.
"Although this is a super beast tide, you don't have to be afraid. I don't think people like you will be sent to the front lines. Don't worry." The officer smiled in satisfaction.
"I understand, Senior Brother." Yan Wuyue wore the watch on her wrist and kept the medal in her pocket.
"Alright, you can leave now. The military order will come soon. Just act according to the order."
After collecting Yan Wuyue's form, the officer continued, "You have my contact information in your watch. If you encounter any problems, just contact me. Although I may not be able to solve everything, I can still help you with most things."
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" In any case, Yan Wuyue first expressed her gratitude.
Then the officer looked down at the form and said, "Next."
At this time, Yan Wuyue had tactfully left the registration area and came to the entrance.
"Is it settled?" Zhou Mingrui asked as he watched Yan Wuyue walk back.
"Mhm, I'm now considered a member of the army." Yan Wuyue raised her wrist and showed off her watch.
"When do we leave?" Zhou Mingrui asked.
"He said to wait for the notice. Let's go back to the academy first." Yan Wuyue replied.
Only two hours after they returned to the dormitory, Yan Wuyue's watch began to vibrate.
"I actually became a sergeant directly. I started as a private in my last life," Yan Wuyue said with a sigh.
"Not for the sake of the monk, but for the sake of the Buddha. You're a preparatory student of the research institute, after all. There's no way you can start from an ordinary soldier." Zhou Mingrui pursed his lips.
Yan Wuyue, who was too lazy to care about this, continued, "The order has been issued. We are to gather at B-23-11 port in 30 minutes."
"Then pack your luggage and go to your house to say goodbye to your family." Zhou Mingrui said.
"Alright," Yan Wuyue said after a moment of silence.
Ten minutes later, Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui appeared in the Yan family's residence.
Zhou Mingrui didn't approach Yan Wuyue, giving her some time and space to spend with her parents.
After a few words, the two began to quarrel. Yan Wuyue's father, Yan Bin, even slapped her directly in the face, but Yan Wuyue did not resist or get angry.
Soon, the scene calmed down, but before he could say anything more, Yan Wuyue's father, Yan Bin, suddenly began to cry.
A moment later, Yan Wuyue and her mother hugged each other, and then Yan Wuyue took the initiative to withdraw her hands and leave.
Seeing Yan Wuyue walking toward the door, Zhou Mingrui turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
Yan Bin suddenly shouted at Zhou Mingrui.
"You called me?" Zhou Mingrui turned to Yan Bin and asked.
"Yeah."
Yan Bin nodded. He walked up to Zhou Mingrui and said, "I know that you may be a summoned spirit, but you have an independent soul. So, as a father, I'm here to request you to take good care of my daughter."
"I must!"
Zhou Mingrui nodded his head vigorously. "Don't worry. I will. It's what I should do."
Yan Bin's face revealed a gratified smile. He reached out and patted Zhou Mingrui's shoulder before turning to leave.
Looking at Yan Wuyue's parents crying on the sofa, Zhou Mingrui didn't know what to say. He could only turn around and walk toward the door.
