Chapter 16 (2) The Colonel

  "What's going on?" In the academy, a teacher from the academy was sitting in the surveillance hall with hundreds of virtual projections.

   When the beast appeared, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

   "How could such an alien beast appear in the forest for training? Where did it come from? Let the students escape out as soon as possible!" The fighting teacher responsible for leading Nicola's team looked extremely shooked, and the air was filled with the smell of nervousness.

   "I can't, the system is damaged. Even the rescue plane cannot enter the dense forest." The technician was sweating profusely while repairing the damaged system.

   The system has been maliciously damaged, which is obviously someone causing trouble. But who would attack a group of students who have not yet graduated and are undergoing wilderness survival training?

   "When will it be repaired?" student's lifes were at stake, the fighting teacher stood up anxiously.

   "It will take at least half an hour." The technician looked pale and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

   "It's too late. They can't handle this level of alien beasts." The fighting teacher looked at the scene on the virtual screen, and his originally flustered expression suddenly calmed down, as if he was recalling some long-lost past events.

   He reached out and grabbed the collar around his neck. The collar was made of special material. Although it seemed to fit well, it would not affect his breathing at all. But at this moment, the teacher's face turned purple as if he was about to be strangled to death by it.

   "Mr. Applek, are you okay?" Someone noticed something strange about the fighting teacher.

  Applek shook his head. He struggled to breathe, grabbed the teacher's hand and said, "Hurry up and notify the principal. We must rescue the children."

   The principal came quickly. After all, this was a matter of human life. The most important thing was that this human life included two heirs of the four major families.

  The fat and short principal is a nobleman with no psychic strength. He wears an elegant medieval velvet red tuxedo, underneath a pair of the most popular embroidered trousers in the empire, and a bow tie around his neck. His huge belly is held up by a girdle, and his fat body is swaying.

   He appeared with a sweaty head and cursed, "What's going on? How on earth are you guys doing?"

   "Principal, the most important thing now is to save those kids." Teacher Applek walked up to the principal.

   The principal glanced at him impatiently, walked past Applek and walked to the projection. When he saw the ferocious beast inside, he stopped in his tracks and didn't even dare to get close to the virtual screen.

   The principal is a pampered imperial aristocrat. He has never seen real alien beasts, most of which he has seen in movies.

   But even the screen scared him.

   The principal wiped his sweat, his voice trembling slightly, and asked the teacher next to him, "How many students are left in there?"

   The teacher quickly lowered his head to check the list, "There are four kids left, all of whom are the best students in our college."

   Four top students, the best in this grade, must not fall into his hands.

   The principal looked at the even crazier beast, his face gradually turning ugly.

   "Principal, someone is looking for you." A teacher rushed in from the door, his face turned pale and frightened.

   The current principal had no time to talk to anyone, so he just waved his hand and said, "I don't have time now."

   The teacher looked embarrassed, walked in, and whispered into the principal's ear: "He is the heir of the Jacobs family."

   The principal looked shocked and quickly followed the teacher out.

   Jacobs family, one of the four major families in the empire.

   The heir to the Jacobs family is a psychic with SSS level. After graduating from the Royal Academy the year before, he directly entered the military and became a colonel within two years.

   The man who was supposed to be on the battlefield suddenly appeared in the Royal Academy. Something big must have happened.

   In front of the colorful glazed window in the conference room stood a tall and straight man. The man was wearing a white military uniform and a military cap. His blue hair was light and extended from the white military cap.

   He heard the sound and turned to look at the principal.

   This is a handsome man. He was born with a smiling face, his blue hair hidden under his military cap was curly blue, and his eyes were blue. The originally cold eyes were matched with such a gentle face, and even the cold blue became warmer.

   "Principal Bond, long time no see." Colonel Jacobs put one hand on his shoulder and leaned forward slightly. When he spoke, his voice was gentle, like a gurgling stream. If such a man were not wearing a military uniform, no one would have imagined that he would be an soldier.

   The principal hurriedly returned the greeting and approached politely, "We haven't seen each other for two years, and Colonel Jacobs seems to have not changed much."

   Colonel Jacobs chuckled and pulled himself up.

   The principal didn't dare to sit down. He only waved his hand and asked cautiously, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

   Colonel Jacobs took out a broken chain from the capsule and played with it in his hand. "The alien beast in the laboratory ran away on its own."

   In this simple sentence, the principal heard another meaning.

   The chain was obviously not broken by the alien beast on his own, but Colonel Jacobs said that the alien beast escaped by himself, which meant he needed to keep it a secret. Thinking of the alien beast that suddenly appeared in the dense forest, the principal had a high probability of guessing what happened.

   The principal immediately understood and said flatteringly: "Colonel, I will do what you said."

   Jacobs squeezed the chain in his hand, his blue eyelashes drooped, and asked: "What's going on in the forest now?"

   "There are only four students left in the forest, Doris Williams, Lilith Noelle, your brother Euro Jacobs, and Arthur Otis." After a pause, the principal showed a compassionate expression and was heartbroken, "They are still children. ! They have no way to deal with such a powerful beast."

   Vatair Jacobs pinched the chain in his hand and frowned. He said, "Let me in."

   But the principal shook his head, "No, the system is damaged, and you can't get in or out within half an hour." At this point, the principal sighed, "They are the top students in this class, and of course I can't bear to part with them."

   Vatair Jacobs looked at the principal intently, trouble appearing on his handsome face, "Is there no other way?"

   The principal shook his head, "No."

   Jacobs was silent for a while and sighed, "In this case, we can only leave it to fate."

   An alien beast just shows up.

   While the system in Nicola's brain has begun to remind her of the time.

   "Half an hour left."

   Damn.

   Nicola was so angry that she wished she could chop the alien beast outside into pieces, but unfortunately, she is weak.

   The helpless and furious Nicola turned to look at Arthur.

   At this moment, she and Arthur were squatting on a towering tree.

   This was the largest, thickest, and strongest tree they could find around here.

   The alien beast cannot climb trees, it can only keep crashing into trees.

   "Bang! Bang! Bang!" With the impact of the alien beast, the giant tree began to tilt, and it had already reached an angle of thirty degrees. It felt like it would die after being hit a few more times.

   "I'll go down and attract it, and you can run away." Nicola gritted her teeth and jumped down from the tree.

   In the darkness, the originally tall girl was made extremely weak in front of the alien beast.

   When the powerful beast saw the girl standing in front of him, he tilted his head as if to identify something, then turned his head and continued to hit the tree.

   Nicola: ...Does she look so yuck?

   "I'm here, eat me." Nicola spat out these five words ackward.

   The alien beast ignored her and continued to hit the tree.

   This beast seems a little silly.

   Nicola tentatively walked over, picked up a five-feet-long branch, and poked the beast's foot.

   The beast swung its feet impatiently, shook off the branches, and then continued to hit the tree.

   Nicola:…

   "It doesn't seem to be any threat. Can you come down and give it a try?"

   Nicola shouted to Arthur above.

   Arthur kept looking at Nicola. When he saw Nicola jumping down to confront the beast for him, he felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart.

   This was a feeling... that he had never experienced before.

   Under the gaze of the girl's pure ruby-like eyes, Arthur tried hard to suppress his emotions and jumped down.

   The wind was blowing and the leaves were falling. Arthur had not yet hit the ground. Suddenly, the alien beast that had been focused on hitting the tree suddenly lowered its head and turned around, and pointed the sharp horn on its head towards Arthur.

   Nicola sidled aside to avoid the giant creature.

   Arthur, who was in the air, had no way to avoid it. He was thrown more than thirty feets away and hit a tree. His body collided with the tree and even made a dent in the bark of the tree.

   The alien beast didn't give Arthur any time to react, and continued to rush in his direction with its hooves swinging.

   Nicola immediately released her psychic power, barely making the crazy beast stop, then grabbed Arthur and led him to hide in the tree.

   Arthur was hit so hard that he felt like his bones were broken.

   He swore that if he listen to Lilith again, he would such be a fool!

   Nicola settled Arthur down and hung her on the tree. She looked very puzzled as she looked at the alien beast that turned around and continued to hit the tree. "Why didn't it eat me? It just caught you to bite?"

   Could this alien beast still be a gentleman? It see her so beautiful and won't bite her? But... isn't the little protagonist more beautiful than her?

   Arthur didn't understand why neither.

   Nicola was silent for a while and then said to him: "How about you dress to be a woman?"

   Arthur:...
