Chapter 45
The tragedy on the Upper Forest
Sheilor’s figure disappeared in the corner, then the been staring at him several West Forest military school petty officers held their eyes back, although the expression on the face didn’t have any change, but perhaps they had breathed out a sigh of relief in the heart. They had already known by this time, Miss seemed to be dependent on that youngster very much, they, as the soldiers of the West Forest, of course wouldn’t go to foment the fire initiatively, and it looked like that called Sheilor youngster was not a holding the grudge role, but didn’t know why, they still had some nervousness in the heart, and some ire.
The petty officer Wham had a rub on his that still in dull pain forehead, lowered his head and scolded a few words or something, they this group of people were knocked down five people by Sheilor, it’s the most embarrassing scene in the journey. Jason heaved a sigh, put his hands behind his back by the window, said to those several school mates, “there is nothing to complain about, no fighting match for is no fighting match for, it’s also meaningless to put the grudge in the heart.”
“That’s right, after all we are the professional soldiers, not the people devoted to study in the grapple.” That female petty officer eased everyone quietly, the words were also right, although the present military academy still valued the exercise of the army grapple skills very much, but the thing that really could judge the merits of a soldier’s quality, was still the considerations of the comprehensive quality, like the operating skills of all kinds of vehicles or even the aircrafts, the handling of all kind of system weapons, about the individual force, so what could it do even if it’s strong to the extreme?
“Don’t forget, he is just a retired batman.” Jason turned his body around slightly, looked at these took him as leader schoolmates, couldn’t help to heave a sigh, shook his head and said, “not just only you, including myself, as long as the student coming out from the West Forest, the eyes are always on the top of the head, wouldn’t particularly have high regard for anyone, even the three military academies of the Upper Forest, but who could think of this, we these many people, were knocked down by a just retired from the army batman unexpectedly…”
“It’s really a tragedy.” Jason had his corners of mouth warped up, said with the downright self-mockery.
The corner of the corridor was quiet again, that female petty officer had the helplessness in her heart, kicked the wall with her army boots subconsciously. Suddenly Wham put down his rubbing temple hand, said with the stuffy voice, “that boy looks very honest, but he put his hand on us very wickedly, I don’t believe that he would really treat Miss well.”
“Don’t look for the excuses.” Jason gave him a stare, “you want to revenge is that you want to revenge.”
“I just want to get the face back.” Wham said angrily, “I just don’t believe, I actually even can’t fight match for a little guy! No way, we will be going to arrive the Upper Forest tomorrow, I will go to find him tonight, rest your heart, this time it is just a pure competition.”
“Don’t be nonsense.” Jason had his face cold a bit and reprimanded, “last time we fight in the room, that’s because it’s the acquiescence of the captain, now what do you want to contest for in this kind of situation? Don’t make any trouble in the ship, anything happened and got your credits deducted, I would ignore you.”
“Then this thing would be over just like this? My head was hit a lump out, you were hit full face blood, Harlem he was still in the bandage… I don‘t want to be doing nothing like this.”
“Doing nothing is better than doing something wrong.” Jason’s voice was very hoarse, he had a touch on his throat subconsciously, thought of that day the arm hit on his throat like a steel bar, he had some chills in his heart, “train yourself well, don’t go to ask for an insult, one day you have the confidence, then go to find him again. Rest assured, I think you still will have a lot of chances to meet him in the future.”
Wham asked, “I heard that the boy is an Upper Forest people, the Ministry of National Defense arranged him to be the hitch hiker, where I could find him in the future?’
“But I don’t think like this, the military region now needs the talents, like him this kind of not eye-catching but having the strength character, the military region will not likely let go.”

Jason’s judgment was right. Although the fat captain had said to the secretary, Sheilor was not that kind of genius character that he was curious for, but the grapple ability Sheilor showed, especially those everywhere mecha debris, still let the captain sent him the invitation.
In a private occasion, the secretary brought out three documents to show Sheilor, one was the exempted enrollment office-copy of the West Forest military school, one was the second recruit office-copy not through the channel of the Ministry of National Defense, and the last one was the employment document of some company of the Capital Planet Circle.
Sheilor turned the three documents over once with some doubts, then he knew what the captain meant. No matter the West Forest or the second recruit, for a just retired from the army batman, were absolutely the big pie dropped down from the sky. And the treatment of that Capital Planet Circle company was also very good, that company’s main product was aircraft power manufacturing, it could provide Sheilor the very good room and board condition and salary.
“Think about it.” The secretary was somewhat gladly to look at Sheilor, same as Miss, he could also tell the honesty from this young’s bone, he hoped that he could join in his this side very much, although now his strength was pretty average, the talent of the machine maintenance was also needed to be confirmed, but a potential stone, always was easy to let people pay more attentions to.
Sheilor read it carefully once, had a sigh regretfully in his heart, if it were changed to the previous him, no matter which condition he would very glad to accept, because he could leave the East Forest, and engaged in his favorite things. At the beginning he attended the petty officer exam of the Ministry of National Defense, not exactly for this reason? But the present him had to reject it, because he… Was a fugitive, a needed to out trick the whole Federation fugitive, he didn’t want to associate with the government too much.
Uncle boss had said it once, the most dangerous place was also the safest place, this words could be trusted only three times. Sheilor didn’t want to use these three opportunities easily, and for the West Forest, or the Fourth Military Region… Sheilor still had the very strong contradictory emotion, the death of his boss couldn’t do without the connection of the Fourth Military Region, although it’s surely the order of the Federation, the Fourth Military Region was only the executor, but Sheilor still couldn’t get along with these people together, if not for the reason of Little Watermelon, perhaps he wouldn’t want to talk to these people at all.
“Sorry, I don’t have the plan to return to the army, and the Ministry of National Defense seemed to have already arranged the accepting unit for me.” Sheilor shook his head with apology, he could tell, this secretary in front of him was really considering for him.
The secretary shook his head with some regrets, but he wouldn’t be too disappointed as well, after all, he had already tried his best, and also tried to return the favor to the other party for Miss, just only for some unknown reasons, the other party didn’t want to accept it.

The long quiet space journey was over, the heavy roar sounded up in the huge Antique Bell commerce spaceship, the strong power was helping the huge aircraft to adjust the attitude and the direction. The already packed his baggage, carried the backpack on the back Sheilor, was looking at that light blue planet outside of the porthole, and his eyes were full of excitement.
That planet was very beautiful, the light blue sea, the light hazel land, the white clouds floating on it. Outside of the porthole, two small blue streamline spaceships were leaving the
Antique Bell hull, flight toward that white cloud, it’s really a fascinating picture.
This was the Capital Planet Circle, and also was called the administration primary plant of the Upper Forest Region, the center of the whole federal civilization, the white President Office, the gray senate house of the Management Committee, and the legendary Charter Bureau, these could control the whole Federation authority symbols, were all on this beautiful planet.
Sheilor followed the prompt of the electronic voice, tried hard to hold the excitement, in the help of the working staff, went into the pod. Since he rejected the secretary’s suggestion yesterday, then he didn’t see any West Forest people, not even saw Little Watermelon, although there were some regrets, but he knew it clearly, with his that identity of most wanted fugitive of the Federation, he could only keep the distance away from the obviously noble birth Little Watermelon.

The air-ground connection airship launched out the alloy wings in the height of eight thousand meters, became a bird in the blue sky and the white clouds, kept the absolute smooth and steady, flight toward the land surface of the planet. The airship flew lower and lower, finally swept over the edge of the white clouds, and plunged into the thick and essence-like clouds.
The somewhat afraid of flight Sheilor, had already watched enough the scenes and those flame like ion current outside of the porthole, he closed his eyes tightly, waited the landing that moment. The waiting seemed a bit long, it’s long enough to make him almost fall into sleep, just felt a slight shock, then he opened his eyes, had a breath of relief with the other passengers at his side at the same time, looked at the straight runway outside of the porthole and the not far away black and white electronic control tower, he laughed up.
Walked out of the hatch door, a share of cold wind blew on his face, Sheilor looked at the ground in front and the distant buildings, had the expression a stiff, nearly couldn’t move his legs… These white soft and cold things, could it be the legendary snow?
He walked down the gangway ladder in the urge of the passengers behind him, but walked more and more stiff, it looked like that he was like exercising in the mine. The weather of the Upper Forest was too cold, he was frozen to want to stomp his legs, but didn’t want to cause the attention of the people on the airport. Actually it’s impossible for him to not cause people’s attention, in this area, all the people were wearing the slightly thick thermal wears, wearing the hats and gloves, only him was still wearing the early autumn unlined dress, had a broken backpack on his back, and looked incomparably poor.
Sheilor blew the breath on his slightly red hands, his whole people had been frozen silly. When he left the East Forest, the East Forest was also the winter, but the four seasons of the East Forest didn’t have too many differences, didn’t have the snowfall for thousands of years, how could he think of, the winter of the Capital Planet Circle… Was this cold!
A snowflake fell down, fell on his face, made him to have a shiver, he thought in his mind that he came to the Capital, would it be a big mistake he made? This was the first time Sheilor saw the snow in life, he didn’t feel the pure and noble of it, just felt the frigidity of it, this was all because he didn’t prepare for it well enough, and it was really a tragedy.
