Chapter 1279: New Recruit Training (2/2)

“Good, come with me. I’ll show you around,” said Alston as he entered the mega structure.

“This is the combat training center. You’ll be coming here tomorrow.”

“This is the fleet simulation center. You’ll find yourself here after you’ve mastered the core lessons in a few months.”

“This is a Gravity Room. If you feel that the gravity of Redstone is too accommodating for your training, you can come here for an added challenge.

Alston paused, eyeing Jiang Fei who was panting and out of breath.

“Well… you can chose not to.”

To Alston, Jiang Fei might have something going on with Alexis that allowed him to gain entry into the training ground. But if he wants to become useful, he would have to get through all of its hellish training.

As Jiang Fei and Alston walked through the mega institute, several other recruits noticed their presence and started to gossip.

“Look, Aston is dragging around some rotten meat!”

“What the hell is that thing? It’s so weak!”

“Hey, notice how Major is being very polite? I think that weak thing is here to check on us! We should just train now and put up a good show for that guy! Who knows, we might get famous!”

“Good one! Let’s do it!”

…

Jiang Fei’s presence and Alston’s odd behavior had attracted a lot of unwanted attention. Everyone thought that Alston was only personally escorting Jiang Fei because he was someone important.

“Moglain, to me!” roared Alston roared as he led Jiang Fei into a larger training field.

Because of Jiang Fei’s special circumstances, Alston decided to call in the big guns — Jiang Fei would be trained by their best training officer.

Moglain ran over and saluted Alston.

“Redstone Recruits Training Officer, Lieutenant Moglain at your service!”

“At ease. This is Jiang Fei, a new recruit personally arranged by Commander Alexis. Take ‘good care’ of him,” said Alston, emphasizing the name ‘Alexis’ and the phrase ‘good care’.

“Roger that.”

Moglain’s voice turned stiff when he replied. It could not be more obvious that Alston was trying to tell him that Jiang Fei had something to do with Alexis and must be looked after carefully.

This was his chance to show Commander Alexis his true potential! Maybe he would even be able to finally leave the training grounds and head into the battlefield!

“I’ll leave him to you. I’m sure you’ll figure out the rest. As for you, Jiang Fei. Do your best… and don’t die.”

Alston left as soon as he was done ‘encouraging’ Jiang Fei.

“Well then. Let’s hop straight into it. My name is Moglain and you’re Jiang Fei. From here on out, you’re going to be my personal trainee!” Moglain patted Jiang Fei on his shoulders and greeted him with a smile.

Though it was an unprecedented situation, there might be a silver lining behind it all. This was his chance to butter up Commander Alexis.

But then again, it would be a challenge to train Jiang Fei. He was too weak, and everything installed in the facility was meant for the strong.
