ABO Cadets

Chapter 083. Wounded

That evening, because Lin Yuan was worried that his father had run into trouble, he never went back to sleep after he woke up. He donned a pair of distinct dark circles when he got out of bed in the morning. Caesar was able to see this with a glance.

On their way walking over to the classroom, Caesar couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment before quietly saying: "I had a nightmare last night that woke me up in the middle of the night. I'm worried that something bad has happened to my father. I sent him a message a while back...... But even up until now, I haven't received any reply at all."

Lin Yuan raised his head to look at Caesar and somewhat worriedly said: "I've been unable to connect to his communicator, could something bad really have happened to him?"

Caesar was lost for words seeing the uneasiness on Lin Yuan's face, a trace of a foreboding premonition arose in the bottom of his heart.

But at this moment, Lin Yuan is already nervous enough, he must calm down. Thinking of this, Caesar soon gently rested his hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, go to class first. After I come back at noon, I will contact my father and ask him for details on the situation. Perhaps the Marshal is on the front line battling the Federation and his communicator signal is affected, we can't know for sure either.

Seeing that they were almost running late to class, Lin Yuan was forced to nod his head and walk into the classroom together with Caesar.

There were four classes in the morning, time seems to stretch on for an eternity.

His strong uneasiness is like a black cloud in the sky, heavily pressing down his heart and impossible to disperse.

Even though Lin Yuan was attending class, he did not fully absorb any of the content in the teachers' lectures. The scene of the video call he had with his father before he went into battle played on a loop in his mind along with the view of his dad's back as he went far away that year when he was four......

The life or death of someone with his flesh and blood is currently unknown. Lin Yuan's heart feels as if a pair of hands are forcibly gripping it. He is even in such a worried and anxious mood that he is unable to sit still.

The teacher at the podium noticed Lin Yuan's anomaly and called on him quite a few times to stand up and answer questions.

Lin Yuan's thoughts were jumbled together in worry and his answers were in shambles. As the squad leader of the Command Department's Class 1, he has always been the hardest working and most earnest student in the eyes of his teachers. This is the first time he's been so off.

After school at noon, Instructor Irene was worried and called Lin Yuan over to her office by himself. Looking at the pale-faced youth in front of her, she asked in a gentle tone: "Lin Yuan, what happened? Why is your complexion so terrible?"

Lin Yuan put on a relaxed smile and said: "It's nothing, I didn't sleep well last night."

Irene saw that he didn't wish to say much more and that it wasn't good to push for answers. She soon afterward changed the topic: "About the nominations for the outstanding students that I previously had you collect the student votes from, how is the progress?"

"Oh...... I already finished collecting them." Lin Yuan took the collected results out from his bag and handed it to Irene.

As the squad leader, Lin Yuan's work has always made Irene feel reassured, he had resolved the task she assigned in one night.

Irene opened the consolidation table and roughly evaluated the final count— in the whole class of 50 student votes, the Betas almost unanimously cast their votes on Lin Yuan and on top of that, a portion of the Alphas also cast their votes on Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan dominated the ranks at the top of the list, even more so than Irene anticipated.

It seems that the fellow students in this class are already acknowledging this Beta youth as their squad leader more and more.

Irene smiled and said: "According to the results of the votes, you are the one chosen by our class for as the annual outstanding student. I will now submit an application to the Education Administration Office, the honorary certificates and scholarships are estimated to be sent out by next month."

Lin Yuan nodded his head, "Thank you, Instructor."

Unlike the first, second, and third scholarships assessed on the basis of their grades, each class only has one quota for this outstanding student casting ballot, it is very precious. This honor is not only a recognition of a student's achievements, but it is also a tell of a student's popularity in the class and as well as their comprehensive ability in all aspects. It is a highly blessed thing to be able to receive this kind of award and yet Lin Yuan's head is drooped down without a single trace of happiness on his face.

Such good news didn't make him cheer up...... What's going on with him after all?

Looking at the back of Lin Yuan's drooped head, Irene couldn't help think in distress: Could something have happened in this child's family?

Irene's conjecture was not at all without foundation. Lin Yuan's grades have always been very good, his personality was also cheerful and optimistic. It was unheard of for him to have any emotional problems. He was in such a downcast mood, there is only one possibility— that is, his family.

The reason why Lin Yuan was in a downcast mood was indeed because of his father, Rosen.

***

At this moment, Caesar was right in his bedroom, secretly talking to His Majesty, Trent over his communicator.

"......you mean, the Marshal entered the Isville Cosmic Wormhole and his whereabouts are unknown?"

Caesar was no doubt extremely shocked by this news. The Marshal has led the Glory Legion to triumph in every battle over the past years and has practically never slipped-up. How could he actually walk right into the Federation Legion's trap and be forced into the cosmic wormhole?

Thinking of the despondent appearance of Lin Yuan's drooping head, Caesar became even more distressed— if the Marshal has really been met with misfortune, how could Xiao Yuan be able to bear it? This father and son had just found each other not too long ago, and yet Xiao Yuan respects his father so much......

Trent looked at the leaden expression on his son's face. After a long time, he said: "With Lin Yuan, conceal it from him for the time being. The military has yet to announce the matter of Rosen's unknown whereabouts to the public. Drew has already led the Hydra Legion to leave for Naomi Star. The Glory Legion will also be looking for Rosen's whereabouts exhausting their full strength. Wait until this matter comes to a solid close, it won't be too late to let Lin Yuan know then."

Caesar prudently nodded, "I know what must be done."

Trent went silent for a moment and then spoke once again: "With your school system reform, it will take more than a month to have a vacation right?"

Caesar said: "En, the first semester will close in May, the exam schedule has also come out."

Trent said: "Don't come back to Cepheus to spend your vacation, keep Lin Yuan company and roam around. You have always been staying at the Capital Star these years, you should move around all over the place too."
