I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 83 - The Battle of Ideas


"Han Feng, do you know what you've done?"Zhang Meng burst into the principal's office, his angry voice so loud it made the vases in the room tremble.Han Feng put down the file in his hand, slightly raised his eyes, and calmly looked at Zhang Meng.He looked to be in his forties, with half-white hair, a stern face, and an aura of steely coldness.Bang!The door slammed shut. Zhang Meng said angrily:"Han Feng, that group of vampires are all Psionicists above the third rank, and Klaus is even a fifth-rank Viscount. Let alone students, even the school's teachers would be in great danger if they encountered them. You deliberately concealed their strength and incited students to participate in the mission. This is simply pushing the students into a fire pit, sending them to their deaths.Tell me, how much money did you take from the Wen Family?!"Han Feng looked directly at Zhang Meng, his tone calm:"I received 1.5 billion in education funding from the Wen Family, 100 sixth-rank beast crystals, 600 fifth-rank beast souls, 5000 Lingyuan Pills, 10000 Qi and Blood Pills, and 60 C-grade weapons.Currently, all resources have entered the academy's internal vault, and the loan has been deposited into the school's public account in two batches.Zhang Principal, the mission is now complete, and both the school and the students have won. I don't know what you are angry about?""Han Feng, then do you know what those four students went through!"Zhang Meng said angrily, "One girl was almost raped and killed by a vampire, two boys had their bones broken, and Qin Tian fought with a vampire, his spilled blood dyeing the ground red. After the battle, they were even arbitrarily detained by Wen Chengxian on trumped-up charges. If Yan Qing hadn't stepped forward, they would have been subjected to severe torture.""Han Feng, we are a military academy, not a military unit. Don't apply your cold and ruthless military management philosophy here.""Students are not your pawns!!!"Han Feng looked at him calmly and said:"From the moment all students step into the military academy, they are already soldiers. For the collective good, everyone can sacrifice, including you, and including me. Furthermore, how high do you think the probability is that students would encounter vampires in a place like Twilight Ridge?""What's more, students participate in missions voluntarily. They go for the high credit rewards. Risk corresponds to reward, and everyone must be responsible for their own decisions."Zhang Meng raised his voice, "Voluntary? I think they were all deceived by you. If the strength of the target had been clearly stated in the mission, how many students do you think would have been willing to participate?""Assessing risk is also a reflection of personal ability."Han Feng's tone remained calm, without a ripple: "In war, information is always asymmetrical. As soldiers, one must have the ability to discern risk and make calm judgments."Zhang Meng slammed the table hard and roared, "Nonsense! Why would the students participate voluntarily? It's because they trust the school, they believe the school will protect its students and won't trick them. And you, you have betrayed the students' trust in the school and in you!""Is that so? Then I express my regret."Han Feng's expression remained unchanged, "While gaining the trust of students is certainly good, funding, resources, and military channels are what I, as the principal, should strive for the most.""You..."Zhang Meng's chest heaved, speechless with anger. At this moment, he finally realized that there was an insurmountable ideological gap between him and Han Feng.He believed that the school should be a protective umbrella for students. No matter how strict it was normally, everything should be based on the students' interests.But Han Feng still had a military mindset: students were soldiers, the school was a military unit, everything prioritized collective interests, and if necessary, some students could be sacrificed for greater gain.He couldn't debate with Han Feng about who was right or wrong, because he knew very well that neither of them could convince the other.Han Feng said lightly:"Zhang Principal, the student who completed the mission was specially recruited by you, right? If I'm not mistaken, he should be like those previous clone soldiers, a special talent selected by the Seventh Bureau, placed in our school for training.""Qin Tian, a very excellent clone soldier. This time, on top of the original basis, I will additionally reward him and those three students with 500 credits each to compensate for the injuries they suffered during their encounter with the vampires."Zhang Meng took a deep look at Han Feng and said in a low voice:"Okay, I thank Principal Han on behalf of those children."When words don't match, even half a sentence is too much. He and Han Feng had nothing more to say to each other.Bang~Zhang Meng slammed the door and left.Looking at the closed door, Han Feng's eyes were deep, and his expression didn't change at all.At Twilight Ridge, after the vampires were taken away by Wen Chengxian, the students of Xiongying Military Academy immediately received a school notification that the mission was completed and asked all students to wait where they were.Immediately after, dozens of aircraft went to Twilight Ridge, carrying the students safely back to school.Along the way, the students were very curious about who had completed this mission.Was it someone from the school?Or a soldier from the military?After returning to school, some rumors about the mission gradually spread, instantly causing a sensation throughout the school.It turned out that the target of this mission was not an ordinary Xingdao group; all members of the group were vampires above the third rank, and their leader was even a fifth-rank vampire Viscount.Upon learning this news, all the students immediately broke out in cold sweat, filled with lingering fear.My goodness, a fifth-rank vampire Viscount. Even the school's teachers would probably find it hard to protect themselves if they encountered them.What on earth is going on with the school leaders? They actually published such a dangerous mission, and didn't even clearly state the target's strength in the mission.Isn't this just pushing everyone into a fire pit?Fortunately, I didn't encounter a vampire, otherwise, I would already be a dried corpse.Just as the students were feeling fortunate, a piece of news that could be called horrifying once again ignited the campus.It turned out that the person who completed the mission was a student from Xiongying Military Academy, and he not only discovered the vampires' whereabouts but also directly annihilated this group of vampires.This student is named Qin Tian. He is a transfer student in the first-year Special Warfare Department, and he has been enrolled for less than a month.When they heard this news, everyone's first reaction was - Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could a first-year student annihilate a Xingdao group led by a fifth-rank vampire Viscount? However, when the completion status was published on the mission list, and Qin Tian's name was clearly on it, with a credit reward of 3000 points, all doubts and questions vanished at this moment.Everyone's only thought became, which bloodline family's prodigy is this?Why would /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ he come to the small Xiongying Military Academy? The Imperial Capital is where you should be!For a time, information about Qin Tian flew everywhere on campus, and everyone was trying to dig into his background.But the more they investigated, the more startled they became.Qin Tian's background was completely blank, with only the most basic information registered at the school. This situation further confirmed their conjecture.Qin Tian must come from a mysterious and powerful bloodline family, and he is also a core descendant of this great family.This is a true Great Master, absolutely not to be provoked.
