“I don’t blarown, I’hted you took take the tactical victory” Lan Qing’s voice was soft It was still hard, and cold, but lacked any malice As ever, he appeared entirely indifferent despite his words of elation

Lan Jue chuckled “So, should we call an end?”

His deter, the soldiers couldn’t coed deterths of the NEU pilots was simply too much There were two ninth ranked adepts on their side – Lan Jue and Mika Xiuxiu, Tan Lingyun and Tang Xiao were eighth ranked, as well as the Accountant who’d hid through most of it Several more were seventh They were more than an equal to any soldier

“If any of your students are interested in joining the Iron Ar announced “They’ve earned every promise and co through everyone’s cockpit, the students of the NEU erupted in a triumphant roar! They’d done it! They’d defeated the Iron Ares were her numbers, with mid-level Adepts of their own To take on and wrestle victory fro

Just as Lan Jue had promised them, this was an experience they would remember until the end of their days

On top of this, they knew their victory meant they could enter the Iron Arot to leave with a mecha to use for a whole year! They were the Bloodlust Warsuits, symbols of the brave departed This was their prize They weren’t just sturdy suits, for when you got in to one you were imbued with the spirit of Blood and Iron!

The field was cleared, and the students gathered back at base to celebrate So elated were they in their victory, that they teot their fear of their Demon Drillmaster and hoisted him in to the air

Lan Jue didn’t stop them, or admonish them for their actions He let them have their moment – it was the release of two months of pressure

There was no alcohol anywhere on An Lun, so when the students were done with Lan Jue and sought further ways to expel their energy, they took to the training field They ran about wildly, shouting and recounting the battle They were as wild as the planet they’d coes juradually went from Lan Jue’s eyes He was pleased to find his own hard work paying off Not only had he given theiven them confidence If they could take on the Iron Army and come out victorious, who else stood a chance?

“Thank you” The soft voice came from behind

At once, Lan Jue adopted his ice-cold persona He turned his head, and spied Tan Lingyun standing nearby The Savage Goddess had snuck up behind hi hied them for the better Me, too I’ve learned quite a lot these last two months, and improved more than I have in the last several years If possible, I would like to continue training If you accept, I’d like to stop being an assistant, and be a student”

“The training isn’t over,” Lan Jue answered

“Huh?” She looked at hi would be twoonly the basics to taking out the Iron Army, that was how far they’d cli? What do youisn’t finished?”

Lan Jue answered with a nod “Who said training finished once we left here? If you recall, I said this portion of our training was finished We’ve still got the third round of exercises Like I said at the beginning, this training yun blinked at him “What else could there be to learn?”

“You’ll knoe get there,” Lan Jue said dis important you ”

Tan Lingyun looked at him for aout

“Are you married?”

Surprised did not describe Lan Jue The possibility of this happening was the farthest thing froyun said “Just a casual question”

“It’s a question I refuse to answer,” Lan Jue replied “This has nothing to do with the training”

He gave her no space to reply He turned his back on her, and left the field
