After thanking Xiao Ran and the student army on Gnacou, Halbarton left with Mary and the other two. The happy student army also dispersed after a while of cheering. They packed their luggage as fast as they could, preparing to leave Archangel at any time.
The initial departure time had also been determined. After the Archangel was resupplied, a shuttle would come to the Archangel to pick up the student army and descend to Earth. After waiting for about half an hour, a notice of retirement was delivered to Xiao Ran.
The moment Xiao Ran touched the notice, he trembled all over.
"No.678, you have obtained a special item: Earth Army's Notice of Retirement. Using this item allows you to leave your current faction without punishment, and you can get the opportunity to choose a new faction. This item is only effective in this world and will be returned after leaving this world. "
This sentence that popped up in Xiao Ran's mind caused him to be stunned for a moment. Then, under the puzzled gaze of the staff member, he forcefully suppressed the joy in his heart and repeatedly thanked the two staff members before solemnly keeping the notice. However, after the staff member left, Xiao Ran directly kept the notice of retirement from the Earth Army into his inventory.
"I didn't expect to have such a thing. Now that I have this item, I don't have to worry about the Eighth Fleet at all." Xiao Ran walked back and forth in the room with a joyful expression on his face, waving his fists in the air. "I don't know if all the notices of retirement are like this, but I think there must be some kind of recognition for the notice to become a tool. It seems that there will be some kind of punishment for choosing a faction. Fortunately, the plot didn't develop to the point where Archangel arrived at Aube, otherwise I might have done something stupid."
"And now is not the time to use this. It's really a pleasant surprise to get this thing." Xiao Ran clapped his hands and sat on the bed happily. "I don't know what Halbarton wants to talk to me about. It's a little surprising that he said he wants to talk to me."
Just as Xiao Ran was thinking about what Halbarton, the wise general, was going to talk to him about, Miriya and Thor came to his room. After seeing Xiao Ran, they looked like they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
When Miriya and Thor came to find him, Xiao Ran knew what the two wanted to say, but when he saw their expressions, he thought it was funny and put on a puzzled face. He took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen? "
Thor smiled embarrassedly. He scratched his head and glanced at Miriya before saying, "Teacher, I'm afraid we can't leave with you."
Xiao Ran was stunned. "Why?"
"Me, Thor, and Kazuya decided to stay here. I heard that Archangel is going to land directly on Earth. We want to wait until we reach Earth before we decide whether to leave or not." Miriya lowered her head and hugged her hands, not daring to look at Xiao Ran's eyes. She only answered softly, "Because Flay decided to join the army and stay on the ship, Sei is going to accompany her. Sei didn't know how to tell teacher, so she asked us to come. "
"In other words, you want to accompany them?" Xiao Ran frowned as if he was thinking. After a while, he asked, "What about Kira?"
Thor shook his head. "We haven't told him yet. It should be better for him to leave here. After all, this is the Earth army of ordinary people."
"It doesn't matter if he's a normal person or an Adjuster. No matter what, you should inform him of your decision." Xiao Ran sighed. He paused and looked at the two with a serious expression. "Are you sure you won't leave now?"
"Yes, we're sure." Miriya and Thor looked at each other and answered firmly.
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. "Haha, you should know that if you don't leave today, once you participate in battle again, the retirement notice will be almost useless."
"Ah!" Miriya covered her mouth and exclaimed. Even Thor's eyes widened. "No way."
Xiao Ran looked at the two of them, and when he saw that they were really at a loss, he smiled and said, "But I can talk to Captain Margaret and at least postpone the time of your retirement a little."
"Ah, teacher! You scared us to death! " Miriya was still a little hesitant and panicked, but after hearing Xiao Ran's words, she instantly understood that Xiao Ran was teasing the two of them. She immediately shouted in annoyance and turned her head away.
"You little things, this is to let you remember that once you stay here, it's not up to you to decide whether to stay or leave." Xiao Ran looked at the two and shook his head. He stood up and said, "You two go find Kira and talk to him. I'll go find Captain Mary now."
"Then … what about you, teacher?" Miriya asked hesitantly just as Xiao Ran left the room.
"Guess." Xiao Ran turned back with a faint smile on his face. After saying that, he strode away, leaving Miriya and Thor looking at each other blankly.
When he came to the captain's room, there was a slight argument coming from the closed door from time to time. Xiao Ran wanted to stand outside the door and wait, but the words that came out made Xiao Ran frown and put his ear to the door.
"No, I don't agree to let people who don't know the details of the G-Class to pilot. This is our army's secret. Why should we give it to people who have just joined the army? In fact, there are people on the Archangel who can pilot it! "This was Bakirulu's voice.
Mu's voice also came to Xiao Ran's ears after Bakirulu's voice fell. "But Kira may not continue to pilot the Assault Gundam. Maybe he is packing his luggage and preparing to leave the Archangel now."
In the captain's room, General Halbarton was sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Mary. Mary stood aside with her head down, thinking about something. Bakirulu and Mu were arguing. Looking at Mu's relaxed and indifferent face, Bakirulu felt angry and said loudly, "Isn't there still Xiao Ran? If he can pilot the Zeon, he can definitely pilot the G-Class. Compared to Kira and Xiao Ran, those who have such strong abilities when they just entered the army are not trustworthy! "
Mary, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head after Bakirulu said this. She looked at Bakirulu and said calmly, "Xiao Ran is not a soldier. When he first joined the Archangel, he had already made it very clear that he would not join the Earth's army. Now, I think it is impossible for him to officially join the Earth's army and pilot the Gundam."
Halbarton looked at his subordinates who were arguing and felt a headache. "You don't have to argue anymore. Our Earth's army doesn't need to rely on a 15 or 16-year-old child. Although I am very unwilling to let those old guys stuff these people in, as the pilots of the newly produced MS, I can't refuse such a reason to familiarize themselves with the operation of the body. That's it. Later, you will take these people directly to Earth and go to Alaska."
"Yes!"
Xiao Ran, who was standing outside the door, heard all of this. However, this small amount of information made his pupils contract several times, and his heart started beating wildly. He didn't expect to hear such explosive news when he came here because of the matter with Thor and Miriya. If Xiao Ran came a little later, perhaps those people mentioned by Mary and the others would have already boarded the Archangel, and Xiao Ran wouldn't know.
"Those people? They have such strong abilities when they just entered the army? This is something that has never appeared in the plot at all! " Xiao Ran's ears moved away from the door, and he leaned against the aisle with a frown. "Those people are definitely not enhanced people. According to the time, there are at least a few months before the appearance of the enhanced people, so they won't appear so early. There is only one possibility, participants, participants who have joined the Earth's army! "
Xiao Ran's breathing was a little rapid. "How long has it been since the second main mission was issued? In such a short time, they have already received the attention and recognition of the higher-ups of the Earth's army? They were also ordered to participate in G's mission, and they are also familiar with the operation of the mech. Could it be that the higher-ups of the Earth's army are preparing to customize special mechs for these participants?! Who are these participants? How can they have such fast action speed and luck? They actually accidentally encountered the main storyline of the plot. "
"There shouldn't be many participants. Listening to the conversation between Mary and the others, there should only be a few people. But these people can encounter the main storyline not long after the second mission was issued, so they are definitely not simple characters. Maybe they have already completed more than a few side missions, or maybe they have powerful abilities and awakened skills before coming to this world. As long as such people get on the ship, whether they are on the same side as me or not, they will be the biggest threat to me."
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth lightly. "I can't let them board the Archangel, and I can't let them attack the Gundams. Delay, delay until the battle starts. Cruzet, I have never missed you so much, hurry up and show up! "
"Shua!" The door of the captain's room suddenly opened. After two people walked out, it closed again. Xiao Ran also relaxed his expression in an instant. He smiled at Bakirulu who walked out.
Bakirulu looked at Xiao Ran and felt a little strange. She frowned and asked, "Why aren't you packing up? What are you doing here?"
"I have something to talk to Captain Mary about. Didn't General Halbarton also want to talk to me?" Xiao Ran smiled, gently pushed himself away from the wall, and walked in front of Bakirulu. He spread his hands and smiled. "The key is that I can't bear to part with you, so I decided to stay. Am I not welcome?"
"Huh?" Bakirulu was stunned for a moment. Mu, who was about to come out behind her, was also stunned for a few seconds. In the end, he winked at Xiao Ran and gave him a thumbs up.
"Haha, you really want to stay and celebrate. I'll go get ready!" After saying this, Mu quickly slipped away. He felt a little guilty. Bakirulu was quarreling with him again because of the argument in the captain's room.
"Really?" Bakirulu did not pay attention to Mu's departure. Instead, she frowned and looked at Xiao Ran, a little doubtful.
Xiao Ran patted his chest. "It's definitely true."
Bakirulu glanced at Xiao Ran, snorted, and turned to leave. "I hope you mean what you say."
"Wait." Xiao Ran grabbed Bakirulu, who was about to leave, and whispered into Bakirulu's ear. "Before I come out of the captain's room, don't let those people board the ship. Trust me!"
Bakirulu instantly turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran with a sharp gaze. "What do you know!"
"Trust me. We'll talk later." Xiao Ran pulled away a little, but he was almost face to face with Bakirulu. Seeing the suspicion and wariness in Bakirulu's eyes, Xiao Ran added again. "You want Kira to continue piloting the Assault Gundam, or me to take over Kira's position, I agree. And Kira won't leave the ship, because I, Miriya, Thor, and the others have decided to stay on the ship. Kira will definitely stay on the ship too. "
