Steel steam and flame

"That's good." Cassia replied, leaning on the passenger seat and taking a long breath of relief, "I remember that when I first had the idea of ​​forming my own force, it was all influenced by students from the same batch of the military school. Because. Later, when I started to go out to perform tasks, this idea gradually turned into actual actions. One person's power is very limited, and it is difficult to take into account all aspects. "

"I remember at the beginning, when I left the small town to go to college, I was completely alone at that time. It can't be said to be inexplicable, but I entered the Military School without any clue. It had something to do with the Imperial Heavy Industry School I was admitted to. So there is a little difference. Then on the first day, I just saw my dormitory, and I didn’t pack anything, and then I met Ye Jielin. At that time, I was still very sincere and naive, even though I had used a revolver a few days ago I blew the head off a refugee who was trying to grab my stuff on the train."

"The memory is still very vivid now. The sound of the gun is definitely not as good as the roar of the forging press in the steam factory. It just makes my ears buzz. But from the time I was born to the moment when the gun was fired, that gun The sound is definitely the loudest sound, so much so that it is still deeply imprinted in my memory to this day.”

Cassia sighed and smiled, glanced at Delya, and seeing the interest on her face and the look of her listening carefully, she shook her head, "You and Miss Hilary Riley, Mr. Perkins, and many others Everyone, including Coach Bei, Mr. McGregor, etc., all seem to be very interested in my past affairs."

"Because you are the leader, these are definitely extremely interesting things that make people curious. From the time I met the leader in the Brino area to now, the huge changes can be clearly felt, but changes are changes , we can still feel other things. The leader has always been a kind and well-intentioned person. Many of us think so, whether it is Waters or Knight Commander Hessler, the views are the same. It’s just, ,,”

Delya herself laughed, "It's just that what you did, Captain, is a little bit inconsistent with our views. But it doesn't affect anything, I think."

"So that's how it is." Cassia sighed, as if she had solved a mystery that had been in her heart for many years. "Actually, it's not really that. It's more of a forced situation. You must know better than others the troubles I have. It just never stopped.”

"Uzumaki, I have always known about it, and you, the leader, have always reminded us to keep a distance from you to avoid unnecessary involvement. The current knights, factories, taverns and security companies are all because of the reminders from the leader. , both in terms of connection and management are disconnected, just to be able to cleanly cut off the connection when necessary.”

"A very good way." Cassia agreed. After a moment of pause, he continued what he had just finished, "Of course, at that time, in addition to the sound, there was also the vibration when the gun was fired, and the recoil transmitted to the body. Fortunately, I worked in a steam factory very early, and in the first few years I used my strength to make money, so I am in good health."

Cassia clenched her fist here and raised her right hand to reveal the bulging muscles. "So the recoil is pretty good. At that time, for me who has never used a firearm, I won't hit myself in the face because I can't hold the gun." Come."

"Well, the importance of physical strength and quality, captain, you often say this." Delya nodded affirmatively, looking forward to the follow-up.

"That was the first time I fired a gun, and it was also the first time... well, let's kill someone." The expression on Cassia's face gradually returned to normal, "I can still recall and understand how I felt at that time. ,,,First I was very scared, because the short knife I was carrying for self-protection was taken away while I was sleeping, and I was slashed by the person holding it, right here.”

Cassia pointed to the area on the left side of the neck connected to the earlobe, "There was a lot of blood, and this area was stained red. Then he was also slashed in the chest, but he didn't control the distance well, so I dodged. , it just cut open my clothes. None of this is important. What is important is that I was really scared at that time. For the first time, I felt fear, which stemmed from the fear that I might die."

"A very uncomfortable emotion that makes people feel uncomfortable all over."

"However, looking back now, I was not actually afraid to the extreme at that time. According to the knowledge I learned in the military school, extreme fear can paralyze people, and neither their thinking nor their bodies will do it again. Movement. Not thinking about anything else at all, just falling into darkness in paralysis, is what extreme fear should be like."

"At that time, when faced with this fear, I still had some thoughts. But the main reason..." Cassia smiled calmly, "because I picked up a gun on the heavy train and a bullet not long after. Alas... I always thought that the moment when the trajectory of my life changed was the moment when I fired the gun. Actually, it was not the moment when I saw a gun on the floor. At that time, I don’t know what kind of force I was driven by. , I picked up the gun, and that’s what happened next.”

"By the way, after shooting, the fear disappeared. At that time, I didn't understand the meaning of the moment of shooting. Now,..., the gun is really a good thing, at least for a long time, it was for me That's how it was. Maybe, I still didn't understand myself after leaving the small town. Looking back at the past, I suddenly realized that the psychological burden of just shooting and killing a person was far greater than I imagined. It was a lot smaller. It’s not like it didn’t exist, but it didn’t cause any trouble to me at that time.”

"Oh, I think you must be interested in something." Cassia seemed to have thought of something, looked at Delya and said, "On the train leaving the small town, the pistol I picked up was a revolver. ”

"Is this why, Captain, you like to use revolvers?" Delya's face showed surprise and understanding.

"It's not that I'm not used to magazine-type pistols, it's just that the revolver will give me psychological hints for a long time, implying safety and implying power. As for later, I will be completely used to it. Three After the stage, what matters is the power. And no matter what kind of firearm it is, I can use it skillfully."

"Well..." Cassia breathed heavily, "The next thing is to enter the military school, meet Ye Jielin, meet Atohuan, meet Selmer, meet Kara, and the understanding changed at that time He has loved me a lot." Looking into Delya's eyes, Cassia's words seemed solemn, "Mr. Hai's younger brother, Lee. A dangerous person, but also a person who reminds me of me often, although many times , his image has begun to overlap with Mr. Hai. However, Li is indeed the person who really brought me into the circle of surgeons."

"Perhaps after talking with Li, many ideas have seeds in my heart. Power is also one of many seeds. Now, seeing that your development is on the right track, I feel more, Korematsu Take a breath."

"The purpose of forming a force is to protect. Now you can protect yourself within the established scope. This is enough for me."

Delya replied with some disappointment, "But we don't feel it's enough. We always think that with a little more time, we can help you, the leader. But the further we go, the less help we can provide."

"The main reason is me." Cassia said sincerely and nodded.

",,," Delya was speechless, "Captain, your sincerity sometimes makes people wonder how to refute it. Because it is really sincere."

",,," Cassia thought for a while, "The main reason is that I am indeed sincere and kind."
