Halberton thanked the military student and Xiao Ran. He left with Murrue and staff. The happy student also shouted for a while to disperse and clear up at the fastest speed. They have their luggage ready to leave Archangel at any time.
The initial departure time has also been determined. After the Archangel accepts supplies, there will be a shuttle come to the Archangel to pick up the student to return to Earth. After waiting for about half an hour, a notice is sent to Xiao Ran's hands.
At the moment when he sees the notice, Xiao Ran trembled suddenly:
"Participant no. 678 obtained a special item: Earth Alliance retirement notice. Use this item to leave the existing faction without punishment and get the opportunity to change faction. This item is valid in this world only and will be recovered after leaving this world."
The words that popped out of his mind made Xiao Ran startled for a moment, then suppressed the surprise in the heart under the staff's doubts. He thanked the two staff members and then solemnly accepted them. After the personnel left, Xiao Ran directly put the notice of retirement of the Earth Alliance into the storage column.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Now that there is such thing as the Eighth Fleet of this faction, I don't need to worry about it at all." Xiao Ran walked back and forth in the room with joy, two fists waving in the air "I don't know if all the retirement's notices are such props, but what kind of recognition should be received before they can be used as props? Seeing this, it seems to determine what kind of punishment selected faction will have. Fortunately, the plot did not develop until the Archangel arrived in Orb. Otherwise, I might have to do stupid things."
"And this is not the time to use this, it is really a surprise to be able to get this thing." Xiao Ran clapped her hands and sat on the bed with joy: "I don't know what Halberton wants to talk to me. Saying that it's a bit surprising to find me."
Just when Xiao Ran was thinking about what Halberton, who is known as an admiral, was going to find himself to talk about, Miriallia came to his room. After seeing Xiao Ran, she silent herself, don't know what kind of words she would say to her teacher.
When Miriallia and Tolle came to find him, Xiao Ran knew precisely what the two wanted to say. Still, rushing the expressions of the two, he felt funny in the heart and made a confused face. He asked first: "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Tolle smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and glanced at Miriallia before saying, "Teacher, I'm afraid we can't leave with you."
Xiao Ran looked stunned: "Why?"
Tolle, Kuzzey and I decided to stay here. I heard that Archangel now wants to land directly on the Earth. We also want to wait until the Earth before deciding whether to leave." Miriallia lowered her head and hugged her body. She didn't dare to face Xiao Ran's eyes. Still, She just answered softly, "Since Flay decided to join the military, she stays on the ship, Sai also ready to accompany her. Since he didn't know what to tell the teacher, so he left the job to us."
"That means you want to accompany them?" Xiao Ran frowned, as if thinking, and after a while, he would ask: "What about Kira?"
Tolle shook his head: "We haven't told him that it would be better for him to leave here, after all, this is the Earth Alliance of Naturals."
"Either a Natural or a Coordinator, you should tell him your decision." Xiao Ran sighed and looked at them with a severe look: "Now, are you sure you don't want to leave?"
"Yes," Miriallia and Tolle looked at each other for a moment and replied firmly.
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled: "Oh, did you know, if you did not leave today, once you join the battle again, the retirement notice would be useless."
"Ah!" Miriallia covered her mouth and exclaimed, even Tolle's eyes widened: "No!"
Xiao Ran looked at them and laughed when they saw that they were really at a loss, saying, "But I can talk to Captain Murrue to talk about it, at least can push a bit of time before retirement's notice."
Teacher! You scared us to death!" Miriallia panicked for a moment. However, she froze after hearing what Xiao Ran said. She then instantly realized that Xiao Ran was teasing them both and suddenly shouted angrily while turning her head away.
"You little things, this is to let you remember that once you stay here, you can't decide whether to leave." Xiao Ran watched the two shaking their heads and stood up: "Go to Kira and talk to him. I'll go talk to Captain Murrue."
"Well... Teacher, how about you?" As Xiao Ran left the door, Miriallia asked hesitantly.
"Try to guess." Xiao Ran turned back, with a smile on his face, and walked away after speaking, leaving Tolle and Miriallia in the blank face.
When Xiao Ran reach the captain's quarter, he heard a slight argument from time to time inside the closed door. Initially, he wanted to wait outside the door, but a word that came out from the door made Xiao Ran frown. He put his ears to the door.
"No, I never agree to give Gundam to those who don't know the details. This is our military secret. Why should it be given to those who have only joined the military shortly? There's someone on the Archangel can pilot it!" This is Badgiruel's voice.
Mu's voice also passed into Xiao Ran's ears after Badgiruel's voice dropped: "But Kira may not continue to pilot the Strike Gundam. In fact, he may be packing his luggage and preparing to leave Archangel."
In the captain's quarter, General Halberton was sitting in the position initially belonged to Murrue. Murrue stood with her head down and didn't know what she was thinking. Badgiruel and Mu were arguing, watching Mu with his relaxed and unbiased face, Badgiruel felt her anger has risen up, and said aloud, "We still have Xiao Ran, he can pilot Ginn, and he also can pilot Gundam. Compared to Kira and Xiao Ran, those who have such ability before entering the army are not to be trusted!"
Murrue lifted her head after Badgiruel finished saying and said flatly, "Xiao Ran was not a soldier. When he joined the Archangel at the beginning, He has already made it clear that he will not become a soldier for Earth Alliance and pilot the Gundam. I also think it is doubtful."
Halberton looked at his struggling subordinates and felt a bit of a headache: "You don't have to argue anymore, our Earth Alliance does not have to rely on a fifteen- or sixteen-years-old child. Although I am very reluctant to let those old coots take these people in, as the pilot of the new production MS, to become familiar with the piloting technique of the body, I could not refuse such a reason. You will take those people to descend to the Earth and go to Alaska."
"Yes!"
Xiao Ran who was standing outside the door shrink his pupil a few times when he heard these things, but these few contents made his heart jumped up in despair. He didn't expect to hear it here because of the things about Tolle and Miriallia. If Xiao Ran had come earlier, maybe those in the population such as Murrue had already boarded. Xiao Ran did not know when he was on the Archangel.
'Those people? Have such a strong ability before entering the army? These things never appeared in the plot!' Xiao Ran's ears left the door, and his brows frowned tightly against the aisle: 'These people must It's not an intensive person. At least a few months before the appearance of the intensive person, it won't appear so early. There is only one possibility, the participant, the participant who joins the Earth Alliance!'
Xiao Ran's breathing was a little ragged: 'How long has the second mainline mission been promulgated, and has it received the attention and approval of the Earth Alliance's senior staff in such a short period? He was also ordered to participate in G's mission and also familiar with the piloting of the mecha. Are the senior members of the Earth Alliance preparing to customize a special mecha for these participants!? Who are these participants, and how can they have such fast speed and luck? Are they accidentally hit the mainline of the plot by mistake?'
'These participants should not be many, and they should only have a few people listening to Murrue's conversation, but these people can now encounter the main storyline shortly after the second mission was promulgated. It is by no means a simple role, maybe they already completed several side missions, or had strong abilities and awakening skills before coming to this world. As long as they are on board, whether they are in a faction with me or not, they are the biggest threat to me.'
Xiao Ran squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth: 'Never allow them to board the Archangel, Strike Gundam cannot be handed over to them. Dragging, I must drag time until the battle begins. Creuset, I already miss you at the moment.'
"Oh!" The door of the captain's quarter suddenly opened and closed again after two people walked out. Xiao Ran also relaxed his expression for a moment and smiled at Badgiruel who came out.
Badgiruel watched Xiao Ran appear strange here, frowning and asked, "You do not pack yet? Why you're here?"
"I want to see Captain Murrue. Besides, I'll believe Admiral Halberton wants to talk to me?" Xiao Ran smiled and leaning to the wall slightly. Spreading his hands, he laughed: "I couldn't bear to see you alone and decide to stay. Aren't you welcoming me?"
"Huh?" Badgiruel froze and Mu, who was behind her, stayed for a few seconds, and finally blinked at Xiao Ran.
"Haha, if you are going to stay, I'll prepare for a celebration!" Mu said this sentence and then run away quickly. He's afraid Badgiruel was arguing with him again because of the argument in the captain's quarter.
"Really?" Badgiruel didn't pay attention to Mu's departure but frowned at Xiao Ran, questioning voice clearly heard in her tone.
Xiao Ran patted his chest: "It's absolutely true."
Badgiruel glanced at Xiao Ran and turned around with a slight hum. "I hope you're truly mean what you said." Then she began to walk.
"Wait, one more thing." Xiao Ran grabbed Badgiruel, who was about to leave, and put his head close to Badgiruel's ears, and whispered, "Before I come out of the captain's quarter, don't let those people boarding the Archangel."
Badgiruel turned her head instantly, watching Xiao Ran's eyes shoot sharp eyes: "How do you know?"
"Trust me, I'll talk about it later." Xiao Ran pulled his body away a bit, but he almost faced to face with Badgiruel. Looking at the thick scepticism and alertness in Badgiruel's eyes, Xiao Ran added again: "You want Kira to continue piloting the Strike Gundam, or I will take the place of Kira. I agree with these. I'm sure Kira won't leave the ship, because Miriallia and the others decided to stay on the ship. Due to this, Kira definitely stays on the ship."
"Whether you believe me or not, those people that Kira and I met before are not trustworthy. They must be prevented from entering the ship. I'll explain to you after I've come out from the captain's quarter and you can ask me anything after that."
