Chapter 26: The Stunned Dean Weaver

　　"Go to the Academy of Sciences or the Academy of Communications?"

　　Hearing Dean Weaver's question, Raymond narrowed his eyes slightly and did not answer immediately.

　　Because no one had told him that he had to to choose before, whether it was Director Fury or Hill, it was obvious that they were not quite sure that there was such a multiple-choice question for the entry of S.H.I.E.L.D.

　　There is no information about it in the memory of the original owner of the body. It can be said that Dean Weaver's question really caught him off guard.

　　But he didn't think about it too long.

　　After a moment, a decision has been made.

　　"Sorry, Ms. Weaver...I don't want to go to these two branches" Raymond gave the answer.

　　"Um?"

　　Dean Weaver probably didn't expect to get this answer, and then frowned slightly.

　　"This, this, what do you mean... you want to go to the Operation Academy?" Dean Weaver was stunned.

　　It wasn't just her who was astonished, even Hill, who was temporarily standing on the sidelines, was startled by Raymond's sudden decision, and there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

　　Dean Weaver didn't know about Raymond's previous situation. He only thought that Raymond had been out of the country before and only came back recently.

　　This is also the reason why the director Fury arranged for Raymond to suddenly disappear for a while.

　　Others won't look into it.

　　But Hill knew that Raymond's disappearance had nothing to do with going abroad, but suffered from schizophrenia and was secretly sent to [Clockwork Psychiatric Hospital] for treatment.

　　Originally, Raymond had been acting very normal from the time he met her in the hospital until now. In addition, Raymond himself was a psychologist. He said that he had basically recovered, and Hill had no doubts.

　　Besides, it wasn't just her who thought that Raymond was all right, but the Director Fury and May apparently felt the same way.

　　In this case, she also acquiesced that Raymond had recovered.

　　But now that Raymond suddenly came out like this, she couldn't help but wonder if Raymond was sick again. Otherwise, why would he ask to go to the Operations Academy?

　　Hill herself did not graduate from S.H.I.E.L.D., but was inserted into S.H.I.E.L.D. by the 'World Security Council' halfway through, and belonged to the airborne troops.

　　But as the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., she still has a basic understanding of S.H.I.E.L.D.

　　Among the three branches of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Academy of Sciences is used to cultivate scientific and technological talents. Usually, the scientists in S.H.I.E.L.D. graduated from the Academy of Sciences.

　　The Communication Academy is used to train intelligence talents. For example, most of the workers in the intelligence system of SHIELD graduated from the Communication Academy.

　　These two branches can basically be understood as the civilian branchs of SHIELD Academy.

　　 The Operations Academy, as you can tell from the name, is a branche that is biased towards the combat side.

　　As for the attributes of the operations academy, it is even simpler. To put it bluntly, it is to train thugs.

　　In S.H.I.E.L.D., more than half of the field agents with relatively strong comprehensive combat capabilities graduated from the Operations Academy, and even May was no exception.

　　According to Dean Weaver's ideas, Raymond, a psychology expert, is also well-known in the academic circle, and is a typical scholar-type person. It stands to reason that even if he officially joins the S.H.I.E.L.D Academy, he should definitely choose the Academy of Sciences or Communication The two civilian branches of the hospital with a strong academic atmosphere.

　　However, the war academy alone has nothing to do with psychology.

　　Think about it and know that a branch that exists for the purpose of cultivating thugs, what kind of psychology should you study?

　　They need to learn a lot of things, including but not limited to close combat, firearm operation, physical training, field survival, and the driving of various vehicles... and so on.

　　But among these mandatory options, there no psychology!

　　Maybe some students in the war academy also take psychology as an elective course because of their personal interests, but the number of such people is definitely extremely rare.

　　The so-called art has specialization, unless it is a real genius, it is impossible to learn everything.

　　Because of this, Dean Weaver never thought that Raymond would choose to go to the Operations Academy.

　　Even Hill, an outsider who didn't know much about S.H.I.E.L.D., felt very inconceivable after hearing about Raymond's decision. She even wondered if Raymond had fallen ill again.

　　One can imagine how surprised Dean Weaver was.

　　However, Dean Weaver's reaction after hearing the decision, as well as Hill's reaction, were actually what Raymond expected.

　　He smiled calmly and said: "Ms. Weaver, you don't have to be too surprised, if I make this decision, of course I have my reasons..."

　　"Explain further details--"

　　Dean Weaver made a gesture of please, motioning for Raymond to continue.

　　"If I remember correctly, the three branches of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy can also take courses from other branches, right?" Raymond raised his head slightly and asked Dean Weaver.

　　"Yes." Dean Weaver nodded.

　　"So... I chose to be stationed in the Operations Academy, and it doesn't seem to affect that the students from other branches to take my courses, right?" Raymond continued to ask rhetorically.

　　"That's right, but Dr. Raymond, you should also know that the vast majority of students in the Operations Academy are not interested in your class."

　　Dean Weaver said in a sincere tone, "Although there is an intersection between the three major branches, elective courses across academies themselves are a more troublesome thing, and the time cost is much higher."

　　"Of course, I believe that if you, Dr. Raymond, if actually stationed in the Operations Academy, many students from other branches will go to that Academy to take your courses, but I really don't understand the significance of this choice, sorry. I'll be blunt, I don't think it's an unreasonable choice."

　　"I mean no offense, but I hope you, Dr. Raymond, will think about it..."

　　When Dean Weaver said this, shr also cast a help-seeking look at Hill on the side, hoping that Hill could help her persuade Raymond.
