[Steel Flame Steel] Blue Lion

The blond boy who checked the number of people, just a few minutes ago, the lieutenant took away the gun of the soldier standing next to him, and a paintball hit a recruit hiding at the finish line, waiting for an opportunity to attack him.

"Then, that's the list." Waving the information on his hand, Ed made a conclusion.He could feel that everyone's eyes were on him, and there was a hot gaze that couldn't be ignored, "Whether you stay in the East District or go home...it's up to you to choose."

Ed stretched, stretched out his right hand and hammered his waist.A look of "I'm getting old" made the veterans present laugh.They really like to see this young man's old-fashioned performance.

"I hope you will be able to gather at the old place in two days' time."

After finishing speaking, Ed signaled that these could stay, and sent the recruits whose files were registered in the army of the Amistoris government to the military truck.Only one person remained without anyone noticing.

"..."

Following the azure blue clothes, Ed's gaze was fixed on the bloody left hand holding his forearm.Lifting his head, he stared blankly into a pair of jet-black eyes.

"Is there anything else, Roy Mustang?" It's not so strange to be used to the name, but he still thinks that the chief is more fluent.

The black-haired youth didn't speak, he just stared persistently at the boy in front of him.

"Shouldn't you congratulate me?" Roy suddenly grinned as if sensing some embarrassment in the atmosphere.The strength with which he grasped Ed's little arm became stronger and stronger, the rough fabric almost stinging his frayed palm.

Being taken care of by a teenager hurts my self-esteem no matter how I think about it.

"Leaving the team casually..." Ed rolled his eyes, but he didn't forcefully wave Roy's hand away.Maybe it was because of being used to being oppressed by him, or maybe it was the trust that could not be dispelled, "How do you go back to the military academy?"

"You won't leave me alone here, will you, Gang?" The arrogant smile coincided with the picture in Ed's memory for an instant, and even the angle of the raised eyebrows was exactly the same.

It was this expression that made Ed want to punch him hard with his right hand.This suddenly made Ed start to suspect that the reason why the person in front of him was able to become the chief officer was not because of his thick skin, right?

"Let go."

Just when the two of them were in a stalemate, Ed suddenly spoke, his golden eyes widened as he stared at Roy who was suddenly stunned.

Roy's hands tightened and he didn't speak.

"It's just climbing a rope." Roy, who refused to let go, made Ed feel helpless. He squeezed the black-haired young man's wrist with the other hand, and carefully opened it, "What should you do in the future obstacle course?" ?”

A blue light flashed, which was the most basic medical alchemy.Roy could see his palm slowly healed and returned to its original state, even the pain disappeared along with it.

"...At first I thought you were a rough little bean." Roy squeezed his hands repeatedly, and Roy was amazed by this kind of medical alchemy. "I didn't expect you to have such a side."

"Don't call me Little Douzi!" Ed, who was planning to communicate normally with Roy, changed his face in the next second. He stepped on Roy viciously, and his whole body was like a cat with fried hair, even the antenna above his head They all stood up, "You rain——"

Roy put on a very serious look, trying to hear Ed's next sentence.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Without further words, Ed lowered his eyes as if he suddenly remembered something.Then he turned around and started to walk towards his military jeep.

"What?" Roy took a few strides forward and followed behind Ed.The little instructor who will blow up his hair once teased is so cute, no wonder those soldiers always like to wave the cat teasing stick in their hands.

Damn it, when you pass the national alchemist exam, I will definitely repeat 'incompetent in rainy days' a hundred times in front of you.

Probably because of being too tired, after getting into the back seat of the car with Ed, Roy fell on the blond boy.To be honest, being overwhelmed and unable to move was not a good feeling, so the military police driving could only see Sergeant Elric sitting upright with a disgusted face.

Push him away—he's not my boss anymore, and I don't need information about the Philosopher's Stone from him.

Ed was struggling in his heart, he moved his hands and tried to touch the exhausted man.

Can't do it...

He couldn't do anything against that bun face!

The blond boy whose heart had already collapsed sighed deeply, and shifted his gaze awkwardly.He still owes these people too much, whether it is Roy Mustang or Marth Hughes.

"You have also officially registered with the military." After two days of tidying up, Ed stood in front of the surviving recruits wearing a neat military uniform, with a serious expression, "So now, you are all soldiers now."

After occupying Ed's soft officer's bed for two days, Roy can feel that he is full of energy now.The quality of sleep was better than that in the dormitory, so he didn't want to go back to his place.However, under the double threat of alchemy and steel prosthetics, he had to leave.

"As a soldier, you have to look like a soldier." Finally exuding the military-only aura, his face was full of dignity.This young lieutenant had experienced both the Ishbal War and the full-fledged Cyborg War.Even if it is still a little tender, it is enough to make those recruits drink a gu, "I can tell you clearly now, two years later, whether you want to or not, you will go to the battlefield."

Seeing such a serious Ed, Roy couldn't help feeling a little funny.If this sentence is uttered by a young man, no matter what, it will feel a strange sense of disobedience.But Roy didn't dare to laugh, because the emotion in those golden eyes was too warm.

That's the loathing and sadness of war.

"The monitor...it's you." Ed didn't want to waste his brain cells, he lazily stretched out his finger and pointed to Roy Mustang who looked like he was wandering.

Without objection, all the recruits dared not speak.Since the little instructor had already affirmed his eccentricity, he would be an idiot if he hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Physical training, not bad." Just when everyone was depressed, Ed gave a rare sunny smile and praised everyone present.Almost like some strange alchemy, everyone showed an unbelievable foolish expression, and opened their mouths wide.

Ed's smile of pure admiration opened their eyes.

"Next, you need to master three skills within two years." The blond boy stretched out his fingers, "The first is shooting. It will also be the one I require the least from you."

Back then, he practiced shooting day and night just to fight for breath.If he wants to do it, he will do it best.Shooting far above everyone, even the East, says it all.

"Second, it's theory. Regarding this, I think General Hakuro has already told you very clearly." His smiling eyes scanned everyone present, and a strange feeling of being a teacher rose from Ed's heart. "As for what kind of results you can get in the end, it's all up to Brigadier General Hakuro."

After finishing speaking, Ed paused obviously, with a stomachache smile on his face.

"The last one is—"

"Long time no see, Edward Elric!"

Ed could have sworn he heard bones dislocating, all he could feel was a strong hug.A hug that could almost suffocate him.

"Let... let me go!" Ed choked out the words from his nose, but unfortunately his voice was too weak for the muscular man who rushed out suddenly to ignore him.

"Accept the hugs that have been passed down from generation to generation of our Armstrong family!" The tall man who can almost make all the freshmen fall in the dust said loudly, full of emotion like an opera singer, "Are you okay?"

"..."

I'm better off if you don't hold me!

"Steel." Regardless of the strange gaze, Roy took a step forward and snatched Ed, who was about to suffocate, from the man who called himself Armstrong, and pulled him to his side.

"Ahem—" He seemed to have seen his soul that was about to float away just now...

Ed, who felt that his bones were about to fall apart, coughed fiercely, moved his joints, and after glaring at Roy, he stood up straight and lightly brushed his military uniform.

"This is your next martial arts instructor, and his name is Alex Louis Armstrong." At the same time as Ed introduced, Armstrong directly collapsed his military uniform, revealing his overly plump muscles.

Reluctantly holding his forehead, Ed had no eyes to continue watching, "The military rank is Major, you can call him Major Armstrong."

"The Alchemist of the Magnificent Arm!" As soon as the name came out, someone among the recruits immediately responded.This muscular man with a strange beard is the fighting type national alchemist, the alchemist of the big wrists.

"You guys are quite clear." Ed tilted his head, shaking the antenna above his head, "Why don't you put this kind of information gathering ability on yourself?"

If everyone can understand their own weaknesses, then even exercise will not be so painful.

"It's an honor to be here." Major Armstrong's unique tone echoed, and he punched each other. His dangerous eyes and terrifying muscle shaking made everyone
