#298 - Chapter 298 This is war!
"You little bastard, how dare you slander me!"
Finally, Han Xuan exploded.
Originally, he just wanted to make this assessment more "interesting", but he really didn't expect that his actions would be judged as a malicious schemer by a snot-nosed brat.
This was something he never expected.
"How could I possibly set traps and conspiracies in such a sacred assessment?"
"This is an insult to me!"
But Wu Wei, standing in front of everyone, retorted.
"Why not?"
"Because this is a war!"
Suddenly, Han Xuan was stunned.
Because he didn't expect Wu Wei to give such an answer.
"You said before that we new lords who want to join the War College need to experience a war initiated by the War College students."
"No matter how gloriously you package this assessment, it is still a war."
"Since it is a war, then there should be conspiracies!"
"War is not a child's play!"
"But a cruel, life-and-death struggle."
"In war, all means will be reasonable."
"So, why would such a war not have any conspiracies?"
"As the principal of the War College, you should know this better than I do!"
"War, huh..."
Suddenly, Han Xuan felt the anger in his heart disappear.
Because the little madman in front of him unintentionally gave him a perfect answer!
He was absolutely right.
This is a war!
And the essence of war is a terrible slaughter where all means can be used.
As the principal of the War College, Han Xuan and his students deal with several wars of various kinds every day.
But over a long period of time, for some reason.
They seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally beautifying war, ignoring the cruelty it brings.
In fact, Han Xuan also knew something.
That is, many of his students have begun to look at the wars they encounter with a morbid mindset!
They began to strip away the cruelty of war, turning it into some kind of heroic epic!
This morbid thinking is not only present in the students of the War College.
Major alliances, major guilds, and even within major families.
Even the entire empire, the entire human empire, has fallen into this morbid thinking and cannot extricate itself.
Thinking of this, Han Xuan completely calmed down.
He first took a deep breath, and then said to Wu Wei.
"Boy, you're right."
"This is indeed a war, a war between you new students and the old students."
"But I can assure you."
"In this war, I am definitely a bystander and will not do anything!"
"I can even guarantee you one thing."
"That is, in this assessment, you will not be interfered with in any way, it will be pure!"
"Moreover, as long as you can really survive for twenty days, my promise will be fulfilled unconditionally!"
"You swear?"
"I swear in the glory of the Empire and the Imperial Family!"
"Good!"
"Then I won't be polite."
"I'll go sign up later."
Wu Wei smiled.
For some reason, looking at him, he seemed to be sure of victory.
He couldn't wait to redeem the promise of Han Xuan, the principal of the War College.
"Humph."
"Whatever."
"By the way..."
"The ball is over."
"All the newcomers who want to participate in the War College assessment, go to the tutors to sign up."
Han Xuan snorted coldly, ignored everyone present, and left the venue.
And in the process of leaving, the cane in his hand knocked on the ground very loudly.
This seemed like he was still angry.
But several tutors who were extremely familiar with the principal's character knew that this was actually a sign that he was in a good mood.
——————————
With the departure of the principal.
The somewhat oppressive atmosphere of the ball venue was relieved.
Of course, not completely relieved.
After all, in the eyes of many students, it was Wu Wei's previous nonsense that caused this originally simple ball to become tortuous at the end.
So, even if the principal had already left, there were still many people who cast strange glances at Wu Wei.
"Wu Wei, let's go sign up."
At this time, Su Yingxue smiled.
Unlike before, this time she stood firmly by Wu Wei's side.
"Let us win this damn assessment and receive that extra year's worth of credits!"
"Yeah."
Wu Wei was stunned for a moment.
Not understanding why Su Yingxue's change was so great.
But he still nodded silently, and then smiled.
"Don't worry, I have a feeling!"
"This war may be very interesting!"
