Chapter 170: Just a routine
Yin Tianfan had a bitter look on his face. “The test was over, and I got first place. Undoubtedly, first place. But at the same time, never did I expect that the academy’s expulsion would come. At that time, I was extremely furious. It was a battlefield, a simulated battlefield. Although what I did was wrong, it should not have led to an expulsion.Please visit on our ReadNovelFull.com
But even my favorite teacher mentioned that they could accept sly tactics as well as sudden ambushes. But the inability to forgive allies and even destroy allies due to a conflict was absolutely not allowed. Therefore, I was not fit to become a commander. If they truly allowed me to command a fleet, I might even bring the entire fleet to ruin. The me of the past would have been an unscrupulous careerist and not a hero.”
“Thus I was fired, bringing my unwillingness with me. It also erased all of my honor in Shrek. Shrek Academy also informed the Federation to disallow all academy’s advanced Space Command faculty for space battles to continue learning. At that time, it felt as though I had walked into a desperate strait.”
“That period was the darkest period of my life. I floated in my nightmare for a whole two years. But it was also that impactful event that moved me the most. After all the anguish and anger, I finally understood a few things. After that, I sought out my allies from that time and sincerely apologized to them. I could not return to Shrek, but I was not willing to remain unknown. Thus, I chose to join the military. I did not have any graduation certificate from any high tier or mid-tier academies. So, I could only start from being an ordinary soldier. I spent 20 years to move from an ordinary soldier to an elite, before turning into a space warship member and continued promoting. At long last, finally, I was promoted to be captain of a small fleet and held the rank of a major general. But, everything stopped there. My bad record at Shrek Academy finally caught up to me and stopped me there. I was no longer able to get promoted no matter how hard I tried. After being disheartened, I came here. I have always thirsted for a bigger stage. A pity, my mistake made me lose everything.”
“I searched within and know that I have the ability, my own style of space fight tactics. But I never had the chance to bring it to the battlefield. Everyone gave me the name Elusive Fox. But how would they know that I am the Elusive Fox whose heart has died? So, Xuanyu, you have to remember. Regardless of all the craftiness and twisted tactics you learn from me, you have to be principled. Only by doing so can you go far.”
At this time, Yin Tianfan’s face had a melancholic look as he recalled his past. It was a memory that could cause others to feel pain.
Lan Xuanyu nodded his head slightly. “Shrek Academy had over-corrected your mistake, they should have given you a chance.”
Yin Tianfan sighed. “I used to think so as well. But after that, I gradually came to a realization. Maybe there was really a problem with my character. If I had continued with that character and manner, I’m afraid I would have become so unbridled that I’d forget myself. So, I have long put down my hatred for the academy. But not graduating from Shrek Academy or entering its inner courtyard had always been my greatest regret. Xuanyu, you now wield the chance to move to Shrek. Are you willing to accomplish your teacher’s dream and join the Space Command faculty?”
Yin Tianfan looked at Lan Xuanyu earnestly with faint glistening teardrops that flashed within his eyes.
