Chapter 51: Thief?
The instructors exchanged a glance and looked at Lin Miao, “Since this lion was brought by an instructor, we have the obligation to inform that instructor, so…”
“So you’re going to cover for this cub!” Lin Miao didn’t give the instructors a chance to explain.
“I want to know which legion you belong to, Instructor. I want to file a complaint!”
“………” Lei Cheng just wanted to curse inwardly. How are these students so crazy now!!!
“I also want to know. Since the ‘Interstellar Animal Law’ has a provision that animals that harm in!no!cent! people must be killed on the spot, then if it’s protecting the owner’s property by harming a thief, does it still need to be killed on the spot?”
Just as the situation was at a deadlock, Shi An’an’s voice came from behind.
“Thief?” Some sharp-eared classmate heard these two words.
“Awoo!!!” Tudou immediately roared in response.
Lin Miao panicked upon hearing this, turned her head, and saw Shi An’an and her group slowly walking over.
“Tudou!” Shi Lele happily called out to Tudou. They knew this little lion had been checked and was a purebred lion cub that An’an had adopted.
Shi An’an calmly pushed through the crowd and walked to the instructor’s side.
“Instructor, in the situation I just described, does my pet still need to be killed?”
Lei Cheng frowned, looked at the obviously guilty Lin Miao nearby, and said coldly, “It won’t be killed; on the contrary, your pet should be rewarded. So, is this little lion your pet?”
“Yes, it is mine, but I haven’t gotten the pet license yet. I need to return to Capital Star to get it.”
Shi An’an glanced at the uninjured Tudou. “For this matter, Deputy Instructor Lin can vouch for me.”
Hearing that Deputy Instructor Lin could vouch, Lei Cheng and the other two instructors breathed a sigh of relief.
“Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you participating in military training this time?” Ximi questioned coldly.
Lei Cheng’s head ached again when he saw Ximi coming over.
Lin Miao’s eyes lit up upon hearing Instructor Ximi’s words, and she looked at Shi An’an with scrutiny. Indeed, Shi An’an’s figure had never been seen throughout the entire military training!
“Instructor Ximi, she is a student in our Botany Department, but during this military training, I have never seen her participate even once. Instructor, I believe Shi An’an is dodging military training!”
Lin Miao stepped forward and reported Shi An’an to Ximi, looking at Shi An’an with a smug smile.
“She didn’t participate in military training!”
“Yeah, I haven’t seen her either…”
“Is she really from your Botany Department?”
“Uh… seems like it, but after getting off the starship, I haven’t seen her…”
“Why can she skip military training? Does she even have scores?”
“Could it be that the instructors are covering for her, so she doesn’t have to participate in military training and still gets scores…”
……The students’ discussion voices grew louder, and more and more discussions were unfavorable to Shi An’an.
“Don’t talk nonsense. An’an had other things to handle, that’s why she didn’t participate in military training!” Shi Lele shouted loudly.
“Hmph, you say she had other things, so she did? Who knows if it’s real or fake, and we’ve already arrived at H11 Star. What could it be!”
Lin Miao glared venomously at Shi An’an’s face, a flash of jealousy in her eyes. “Look at that complexion; she doesn’t look sick at all!”
Ximi kept a cold face and looked at Shi An’an. “You tell me, why didn’t you participate in military training?” Could it really be Lin Xi tolerating this girl?
Looking at Shi An’an’s excessively beautiful face, Ximi found it exceptionally piercing.
Shi An’an looked at the female instructor in front of her, who clearly harbored some hostility toward her, with some confusion. She didn’t seem to have interacted with this instructor before, so where did the hostility come from?
Shi Anxin walked in front of Shi An’an, shielding her behind, and stared straight at Ximi with a cold, hard expression.
“Instructor, some things can’t be explained just because you ask! If you have questions, please investigate first instead of questioning directly in front of everyone!”
At this moment, Shi An’an felt her older sister’s figure was exceptionally tall. It felt so good to have her older sister protecting her.
Sheng Rong also stepped forward. “Indeed, Instructor, everything requires evidence. Your current questioning seems like you’ve already convicted Shi An’an in your mind. Without the Chief Instructor’s approval, do you think any student could skip military training?”
Sheng Rong continued mildly and respectfully, “So, I suggest you go to the Chief Instructor first to understand the specific situation, and you’ll know why she could skip military training.”
“Exactly. After you understand, you might even have to thank An’an!” Lin Jinmo chimed in.
Hearing this, Ximi became even more furious with embarrassment. “I really want to know what exactly it is that lets her skip military training and even makes me thank her! I’ll call the Chief Instructor over right now so everyone can hear what it is!”
Ximi, full of anger, immediately contacted He Rui.
“Ximi, you’re being too impulsive!” Lei Cheng warned. Some things couldn’t be announced without orders from above.
Ximi narrowed her eyes, even more convinced in her heart that there must be something fishy about Shi An’an skipping military training.
Shi An’an looked at the smug Lin Miao behind, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Instructor, I want to handle the current matter first. How should her stealing be dealt with!”
Lin Miao’s expression stiffened, and she immediately retorted, “Who stole? You’re slandering me!”
“You’re not only a deserter but also slandering a classmate!” Lin Miao pointed at Shi An’an and said loudly, “Instructors, I hope you handle this fairly! Dodging military training is something that has never happened in the Federation. This is simply a disgrace to the Federation!”
“Shut up!” Shi Anxin scolded sharply, clenching her fists and glaring angrily at Lin Miao. “Are you feeling guilty? We’re talking about you being a thief right now, so why do you keep changing the subject!”
“Who’s the thief? You’re the thief!” Lin Miao retorted loudly.
The next second, before anyone could react, a brownish-yellow figure flashed quickly in front of everyone.
“Careful!” Lei Cheng and the others noticed and immediately tried to block, but they weren’t fast enough.
“Ah!”
Lin Miao’s scream rang out once again.
“Awoo!”
The yellow figure stopped in front of Shi An’an and roared threateningly at Lin Miao.
New scratches appeared on Lin Miao’s face, now bleeding.
The surrounding students, seeing the tiny cub being so ferocious, all retreated in fear, afraid of getting scratched.
“Beast!” Ximi, seeing Shi An’an’s pet harm someone again, immediately drew her laser gun and aimed at the lion cub on the ground.
“Ximi, calm down!” Lei Cheng had a splitting headache and quickly contacted Lin Xi, inwardly cursing how slow this guy was and why he wasn’t hurrying over!
Shi An’an immediately mobilized her spiritual power, tightly enveloping them.
“No matter what, any beast that casually harms people must be executed immediately!”
“Bang!” Ximi, her mind consumed by anger, completely ignored the other students around and fired at the little lion in front of Shi An’an.
