Chapter 542: Chapter 343 Old Acquaintance (Five in One)_7

"I knew I couldn’t fool you guys, it’s all thanks to my teacher!"

"What? Squad leader, did your teacher secretly teach you about the fourth-generation crafts?"

Rhein and the others asked in confusion.

"Yep!"

Su Ming decisively shifted the blame to Mia, using her as a shield.

"That’s too much, the teacher actually gave you private lessons on the side."

Rhein and a few others teased jokingly.

At this moment, Shu’en curiously asked Su Ming.

"Su Ming, who’s your teacher?"

"Mia."

Su Ming directly told Shu’en.

"Mia, that name sounds so familiar, I think I’ve heard it somewhere."

Shu’en furrowed his brow but couldn’t seem to remember.

Su Ming, seeing Shu’en’s reaction, suddenly realized something. Those above General Level seemed to know Teacher Mia, whereas those below seemed to know her much less.

Su Ming would bet that Teacher Mia was definitely of the General Level, but he didn’t know her exact military rank.

"It’s normal to sound familiar, after all, she’s a teacher at Imperial Court Academy, you might even have met her."

Su Ming casually changed the subject.

"That’s also true."

Shu’en didn’t dwell on it any longer.

"Su Ming, you’ve made a huge contribution this time, not only did you slay an Empire General, but you also led everyone to destroy the Curvature Interference Tower, and you even saved General Ferion!"

"Yes, it feels like you’re on the fast track now, we might even have to call you ’Sir’ in the future."

"Exactly!"

Major Curry and the others complimented Su Ming one after another.

"You’re exaggerating..."

Su Ming smiled awkwardly and started chatting with Major Curry and the others.

Half an hour later, Major Curry stretched and suggested aloud.

"I feel like I’ve soaked enough, there’s a sauna over there. Shall we all go sweat it out together?"

"Sure thing!"

Shu’en and the others agreed.

"You guys go ahead, I’ll soak for another ten minutes and join you!"

Su Ming told Major Curry.

"Okay, we’ll go first then, but you better come."

Major Curry and the others told Su Ming.

"Alright!"

Su Ming agreed readily.

Major Curry and the others then got up from the hot spring and walked toward the sauna.

Su Ming turned to look at Rhein and the others and asked with a smile.

"Rhein, do you guys want to join later?"

"No thanks, those are our superiors, it feels a bit awkward."

Rhein and the others shook their heads like rattle drums.

"Alright then!"

Su Ming laughed at their response and didn’t insist on Rhein and the others joining.

...

Inside the sauna.

A few non-commissioned officers were sitting on chairs, chatting.

"Did you guys see the benefits and welfare for regularized staff?"

"Yeah, it’s so high!"

"The benefits we had before were already good, now they’ve doubled."

"The Legion Commander is so generous, I originally thought that as a new legion without many industries, it would be hard to increase benefits."

"I thought the same thing."

...

Just then, the sauna’s glass door was pushed open.

A few lieutenants walked in, chatting and laughing.

"How many Military Merit Points do you think we’ll get from this?"

"Hard to say."

...

At this, the few non-commissioned officers, seeing the lieutenants entering, became somewhat restrained and quickly got up to leave the sauna.

Not long after they left, the sauna’s glass door was pushed open again.

Shu’en and the others walked in.

The few lieutenants stiffened up and quickly stood up to greet them.

"Sir."

"Hmm, sit down!"

Shu’en and the others nodded slightly in response.

"We’re good, you guys enjoy your steam!"

The few lieutenants said and promptly made their exit.

"Why the hurry, we’re not tigers."

Major Curry sat down with a plop, venting in exasperation.

Then, the glass door was opened once more, and Vickers Major General and Admiral Jone walked in.

Major Curry and the others were taken aback and stood up immediately.

"Generals!"

"Hmm, sit down!"

Vickers said calmly.

"No need, I’m good already, you guys take your time!"

Major Curry promptly bolted.

"We’re good too."

Shu’en and the others quickly followed suit.
