Chapter 51 -051 Public Apology
Lin Fu had lost all appetite for fruit, feeling utterly frustrated.
“Even you guys think so, it seems no one really has any faith in me.”
Xu Jinglan subtly kicked He Shu, realizing he had misspoken, and quietly pulled a face.
However, Lin Fu wasn’t angry. After having lunch, the three of them went their separate ways.
Although they were all freshmen, they were in different majors, classes, and courses.
The Land War Academy was different from other majors, it didn’t differentiate by class, but instead by freely formed teams. It was quite liberal.
Many freshmen had already started showing off their connections, contacting their networks to formulate their squads.
According to the rules, each team must have no fewer than twelve people and no more than eighteen.
If a student couldn’t form a team within a month, the school would randomly assign the remaining students into teams. That would look terrible if it got out. How lacking in skills would one have to be to be rejected by all the teams?
In order not to be the last ones picked, everyone was scrambling around.
Even Lin Fu received over a dozen team invitations, which she dismissed, claiming she would consider them.
That afternoon, while many people went to the training gym and simulation room, Lin Fu immersed herself in the library for the whole afternoon. She quickly glanced through books like the “Great Generals Record,” “Imperial History,” and “Elbert’s Thousand Years of History.”
She particularly focused on “Marshal Defoe’s Memoirs.” She was truly awed by this noble-born, flamboyant hero whose life was full of magnificent triumphs.

So much so that she spent the night reading.
Speaking of which, although the new term had started, the last roommate had yet to show up.
“Lin Fu, Dorothea has publicly apologized to you on the campus network,” He Shu, with her severe internet addiction, loved gossip, was a fan of celebrities, enjoyed Mary Sue novels, and especially loved to share.
She was basically an enforced influencer.
Xu Jinglan was reserved and cool, often dismissive of her shares, but Lin Fu was always cooperative.
This made He Shu the first to tell her everything.
Lin Fu enjoyed joining in on the fun, and they hit it off right away.
“She’s being that kind-hearted?” Lin Fu put down the beautifully bound paper book and sat up from her bed, “I think the apology is fake. She’s trying to save face. By apologizing publicly like this, she’s forcing me to respond to her, play along with her act, and help maintain her perfect public image.”
It was a clever tactic of advancing by seeming to retreat.
He Shu nodded vigorously, “What are you going to do? Are you really going to play along? She loves to be in the spotlight. If you actually respond, she’ll lead you by the nose.”
“Not responding.”
Lin Fu decisively said, “She’s clearly trying to patch up her faltering public image and is using me as a stepping stone.”
He Shu was initially unaware of the deeper implications and was wide-eyed by now.
Xu Jinglan, gazing at the scenery from the balcony, turned her head and curiously sized up Lin Fu, deep down not believing that someone from such a remote and backward planet could be so astute about machinations and plots.
“Also, the nickname you gave the Land War Academy has spread. It’s made its way to the internal networks of the other two military academies on Capital Star, and our school has become a laughingstock because of it.”
Lin Fu had a headache, “A slip of the tongue has stirred up anger.”
She didn’t regret offending Dorothea, but she was rather concerned about giving the academy a nickname.
“What’s the public opinion in our school saying?” Lin Fu asked, a bit nervously.
