Chapter 758: Chapter 531 Ding Chuan’s Magnanimity
“Instructor Lindberg left in such a hurry, is there something going on?”
As he was leaving and encountered several colleagues, the man with the crew cut simply nodded and hurried away.
Of course, he had something important to deal with.
Bach, clad in half a suit of war armor, moved very fast, and it was unusual to see such a large, organized armed group operating openly within the academy.
This caused a lot of surprise among the students. What was happening?
On the way to Area D5, the further inside he went, the more people he found. Hearing the sound of footsteps from exoskeleton armor behind him, the people in front turned back in surprise and then stepped aside.
And then, seeing the uniforms of those from the academy, they were even more stunned.
“Is this our academy’s force?”
“Am I seeing things? They’re all in exoskeleton armor, and the weapons seem to be the OW76 model pulse rifles. Haven’t these personal weapons been officially deployed in the military yet?”
Hearing this, the cadets recalled the military troops that had just arrived earlier, and an inexplicable expression appeared on their faces.
Is the academy really gearing up for a clash with the military?
So, more students started following Bach’s team.
Finally, at the edge of his vision, he saw a group of soldiers dressed in dark blue military uniforms. The exquisite uniforms were clearly from the military’s special forces. At this moment, the team had already cleared a large space, and a dense crowd surrounded them, unable to see clearly what was happening inside.
However, Bach could be certain of one thing—that he had finally reached his destination.
Mu Fan, I haven’t even seen you yet, and you’ve already caused such a big mess!
A first-year freshman, publicly committing murder.
No one could predict the impact that this news would have once it came out.
As he drew closer, he indeed saw some people with press cards desperately trying to rush over here.
Damn…
The Dingchuan Guard Team, led by Bach, picked up the pace a bit more.
This group, all wearing exoskeleton armor, moved at full speed, their imposing manner astonishing, finally attracting the attention of those soldiers.
“Lieutenant Colonel, there are people coming from behind.”
A Major got close to the commander of the team and said quietly.
Now that they had arrived, all gun barrels were pointed at Mu Fan and others, but they had not yet made a move to arrest anyone.
Because the student named Mu Fan had an all too special identity!
“Army Reserve special recruit, personal military file quietly upgraded from B to A+ one week ago. This is simply unbelievable. An A+ rating means that this student’s file can only be handled by the highest headquarters of Blue Capital Star.”
The Lieutenant Colonel stroked his stubble, looking at the young man standing quietly ahead with his eyes slightly closed, feeling that the situation was becoming more complicated.
Thinking back to the Sky Communication he had just received, which even mentioned that a great noble wanted to get involved…
The rumbling sound came from behind. The Lieutenant Colonel turned to look.
The imposing exoskeleton armored force of Dingchuan Academy had already approached, and once again the surrounding crowd dispersed. Now the street was completely occupied by two fully armed forces.
Without his command, the soldiers beside him had already raised their guns. The Lieutenant Colonel squinted his eyes at the middle-aged man across from him in the seventh-generation Rock Scorpion battle armor.
He must be the person in charge on the other side. The Dingchuan Academy had a quick response.
“The military is handling this; who are you?”
“I am Bach, a senior instructor of the first-year Mecha Department at Dingchuan Academy.”
Ignoring the group of armed officers, the middle-aged man at the front walked up and addressed the leading Lieutenant Colonel.
What surprised those around him was that, seeing this attitude, the Lieutenant Colonel did not seem to find anything amiss but instead returned a polite military salute.
“Instructor Bach, good day. I am Gu Jiang, commander of the second squadron of Blue Radiance Special Combat Team. Ten minutes ago, we received a report from the police that a Federation Reserve officer had publicly committed murder here. I’ve come to take care of the situation and am now preparing to take the individual away. Please do not interfere.”
“”
Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jiang looked at Instructor Bach opposite him, appearing very polite.
Because he clearly knew the importance of official instructors at Dingchuan Academy, let alone senior instructors. They were, at a minimum, to be treated with the respect due to a Colonel or above.
The higher the position in the army, the more one knew of the astonishing power possessed by the enormous entity that was Dingchuan Academy.
To have a place among the five major A-level academies, Dingchuan was definitely not as harmless as it appeared on the surface.
Take the simplest example: as one of the top five A-level military academies, Dingchuan Academy had the privilege of forming its own troops.
On Blue Capital Star, while the number of mecha units owned by Dingchuan Academy was definitely far less than that of the military, in terms of quality such as level and firepower, the number of high-end mechas was absolutely much higher than that of the military.
To put it bluntly, Dingchuan Academy was the true high-end combat force on Blue Capital Star and a mega force to be included in the capital’s defensive circle!
When Bing Su saw the peaceful conversation between the two parties, her eyes lit up, and she whispered, “Someone from the academy has arrived.”
Then she looked at Mu Fan and Lu Qingxue and asked in a low voice, “Sister Xue, Mu Fan won’t have any trouble, right?”
Lu Qingxue nodded and signaled Bing Su to quietly wait.
As the most senior student present, she understood Dingchuan’s style better than anyone!
Once Dingchuan stepped in, the matter was bound to be resolved.
Sure enough, after hearing Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jiang’s words, Bach didn’t react otherwise but simply said indifferently, “This is our student at Dingchuan. The person in question is an Army Reserve special recruit; within the jurisdiction of Dingchuan, the academy has decided to initiate an internal review process. So, you cannot take him away.”
Hearing these unceremonious words, the Lieutenant Colonel had yet to react, but the group of officers behind him were both shocked and angry.
The other party was speaking with such a tough tone!
The Major who had been speaking with Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jiang stepped forward. He was a newly promoted officer from another lesser planet and held a very high sense of honor for his job.
At this moment, seeing that he as an officer of the Blue Radiance Special Forces, with a hundred-man unit deployed, was still unable to take a murderer away, he was immediately furious.
“Who gave you the confidence to speak like this? We are representing the military now. I suggest you think carefully before you speak,” he said, his pride as a Federal Major making him equally blunt.
“Confidence? Are the words ‘Dingchuan Academy’ not enough!?” Bach showed no good expression towards the Major, and said coldly with narrowed eyes.
The biggest confidence he had coming here and facing this group of soldiers was the colossal Dingchuan Academy!
Upon hearing Bach’s words, even some students who hadn’t yet understood the whole situation suddenly felt their blood boil.
And then that strong sense of belonging and pride instantly filled their chests.
Dingchuan was their home, and at this moment, Bach’s words finally made them realize how strong and warm this home was!
Even Mu Fan, who had been sitting with his eyes half-closed, opened his eyes and looked in Bach’s direction.
“Major Buzi, fall back in line!” Gu Jiang barked, his chest heaving wildly, eyes fixed on Bach, and he said word by word, “Right now, that student inside, he’s a murderer! Is your Dingchuan Academy sure you want to shield a military-born… murderer!?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of reporters who had rushed over lit up, and a flurry of flashbulbs went off.
The silent Mu Fan, the domineering Bach, the enraged Major Buzi, and the vocally intense Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jiang—all of their vivid images were captured in the camera lenses.
“Jumping to conclusions without clarification, since when did the military act so carelessly?” Bach retorted coolly.
“Then I demand that we initiate a summary procedure. If he poses a severe threat to public safety, then the military shall have special jurisdiction!”
“I refuse. Dingchuan Academy can handle its own matters,” Bach rejected flatly.
“I agree.” Just then, a commanding voice came from afar, and everyone turned to look, just in time to see Lindberg walking over with a group of people dressed in combat uniforms.
The old-fashioned tailcoat, the meticulous hairstyle, the stern face.
He was looking at Bach and saying, “Dingchuan Academy will protect every outstanding Dingchuan student, not allowing them to suffer the slightest grievance. But it will also not shield any student that tarnishes the name of the academy.”
“Therefore, I, as a senior instructor of Dingchuan Academy, also agree to initiate a summary procedure. Instructor Bach, remember, the generosity of Dingchuan is not about blindly defending its own; you must remember the glory of the academy!”
And this scene was precisely captured by dozens of cameras and hundreds of pairs of eyes present.
All eyes were centered on the quietly standing young man in the middle of the field.
The murderer, Mu Fan.
