My Endless Life.

Chapter 21 A short story

As mentioned before, the food in this world is not delicious.

Not to mention the difference between this world and the one Li Qi had just crossed over to, even compared to the previous two worlds, it was very different.

But firstly, Li Qi has already gotten used to the food tastes in this world, and secondly...

He now has a 'story' to go with his meals.

"So, they were the ones who first caused trouble for Corporal Andrew, and you just happened to pass by and saved him?"

Li Qi summarized what Andrew and Sean had experienced before.

"Yes."

Sean smiled wryly and nodded.

What happened was actually very simple.

As one of the three qualified candidates in the current 'freshman class', Li Qi and his two companions were actually vaguely hostile to the other seven.

However, because of Li Qi's own strength and meritorious service, no one dared to provoke him.

Sean and Li Qi are members of the same dormitory. For Li Qi's sake, no one would mess with Sean.

But Andrew is different.

Andrew was born into the White family in Wangdu.

Although his father was a count and a senior official in the Ministry of Education of the Principality, he was not welcomed because of his illegitimate status.

This was no secret in the aristocratic circles of the royal capital, and Andrew had also been subjected to hostility and ridicule from many other aristocratic peers.

Andrew was not originally eligible to enter the military academy this time.

It was the eldest son of the White family who felt that he could not endure the hardship of military training, so he gave this opportunity to Andrew.

Andrew naturally wanted to be able to leave the family, so during this assessment, although he did not discover the person who came to "assassinate" him in advance, and did not have the strength of Li Qi, he still successfully passed the assessment with his unyielding and desperate spirit.

Although he had to stay in the infirmary for a whole night, it must be said that he did catch the attention of the top management.

But Andrew is an illegitimate child after all, and is despised in the aristocratic circle.

So Belu, who shared the same dormitory, disliked him and made trouble for him everywhere.

Originally, Andrew tolerated their bullying everywhere. If they couldn't afford to provoke him, they could afford to hide from him.

But who knew that this group of people would go further and further.

Today he even blocked Andrew and wanted to beat him up.

Li Qi knew why they chose to take action at this time.

Now, it has been almost a month since they enrolled in school, and their first assessment is just a few days away.

If the assessment results are excellent, you can leave the 'freshman class' early and keep up with the normal teaching progress.

If they fail, not only will they have to continue staying here, but their superiors’ evaluation of them will also likely be lowered.

That's why they chose to deal with Andrew at this time.

Sean also knew this, so when he saw Andrew was about to be beaten, he immediately stepped forward to stop it.

Then Li Qi came over to resolve the dispute between the two parties.

This is what happened.

After they finished talking, Li Qi also finished his dinner.

He looked at the two people sitting in front of him and asked in a calm tone:
"Are you nobles too idle to do anything? Are you fighting over such a small matter?"

"Li Qi... Warrant Officer, you are not a noble, so you don't understand the thinking of those guys. Besides, they are traditionalists..."

Andrew said in a deep voice.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Qi:
"I really don't understand their thoughts, but a group of eliminated candidates who failed the test are unwilling to be eliminated, so they go to trouble the qualified candidates... What do you think the officer who is responsible for assessing us would think if he knew about this?"

Sean and Andrew looked at each other and shook their heads.

Li Qi did not give an answer. He just stood up with the dinner plate and continued to talk to the two of them:
“No matter which faction they belong to, a loser is a loser. If they want to have a one-on-one duel with you, then whether they succeed or fail, it may make the superiors behind them look up to them.

"But... gathering together to bully others without any purpose, just bullying for the sake of venting... humph." Li Qi snorted coldly at last.

Although he didn't say anything in the end, Andrew and Sean could hear deep contempt and ridicule in his words.

The Principality of Uno is actually not a country that particularly values ​​personal bravery.

This is especially true now that firearms technology is developing rapidly.

Although we do not advocate personal bravery, sometimes, gathering a group of people to deal with one of their own people will still be despised by others.

Especially since this kind of "bullying" does not have an obvious purpose, it is not revenge, nor retaliation, and it is not even related to honor.

Just to vent the flames of resentment and jealousy in my heart.

Li Qi didn't know how this kind of behavior was accepted among the nobles.

But in the military, military leaders obviously don't like this kind of infighting.

Anyway, if it were Li Qi, all those who gathered together to bully others would be punished.

Li Qi doesn't care whether they are nobles or not.

Andrew watched Li Qi walk away, looking at his back, with a bit of envy in his eyes.

He sighed to Sean:
"As expected of someone who came from the front line, you are different from those spoiled nobles."

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine that he is only thirteen years old this year..."

Sean also had the same feeling.

But after sighing, Sean asked Andrew again:

"By the way, where are you staying today? You can't go back to the dormitory, right?"

“…I’ll find a way.”

"If that doesn't work, how about going to the infirmary? There are a lot of empty beds there. Talk to the chief of the infirmary and maybe they'll let you rest there."

Sean made a suggestion.

There is a special infirmary in the school, which is managed by three medical magicians.

There are three medical magicians, both men and women, but they are all very gentle people. It seems that people who can learn medical magic will not have bad personalities.

If Andrew begged for mercy from them, they might allow Andrew to stay in the infirmary for a while.

"I'll give it a try." Andrew sighed.

Now it seemed that he could only try to go to the infirmary, otherwise he would not be able to rest even if he returned to the dormitory.

……

What happened between Andrew and Sean was just a trivial matter to Li Qi.

Li Qi saved them for two reasons: one was to improve his reputation among others, especially among some superiors, and the other was to deal with the relationship with his colleagues in advance.

Li Qi still remembered the "assessment" given to them on the day of enrollment.

Although everyone is in the same class now, Li Qi is sure that the final arrangements for those who pass and those who fail will definitely be different.

Conservatively speaking, those who passed the exam may gather together after graduation.

Therefore, in order to make future work smoother and make the relationship between colleagues more harmonious, it is always a good idea to have a good relationship with Sean and Andrew.

Back in the dormitory, Li Qi continued reading, studying magic, and refining his magic power as usual.

Everything is as usual, nothing has changed.

No nobles came to cause trouble for Li Qi. Even if Li Qi made them lose face in front of so many people, no one dared to challenge Li Qi.

They are a little stupid, but they are not fools.

A strategic-level magician is not someone they can afford to provoke.

So in this peaceful daily life, Li Qi welcomed the weekend.

Major Bolent also sent someone to contact Li Qi as agreed and asked him to go to the designated place.
