After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 646: Chapter 459: This Isn’t Door Control at All!

Fang Huai’s words were very humble.

But the smile on his face seemed to bear another layer of meaning—I’m just being modest for the sake of it.

The instructor had just given Fang Huai a lesson that indeed sounded somewhat condescending. Everyone here was an old hand in the troops; nobody would fail to notice that. freёwebnoѵel.com

However, as the district team captain, Jin Guotao noticed the look of displeasure on Fang Huai’s face and still tried to offer brotherly advice:

"The instructor is really good at teaching his specialized courses and has some very advanced ideas. I heard he has done extensive research on the American firefighting model and teaches quite a number of classes. Usually, when we want to ask him for advice, he might not even have the time... It’s a good thing he’s willing to spend extra time with you."

Yang Tao immediately chimed in, "Yeah, the instructor is really strong in theory and has experience working locally. We’ve gained a lot from what he teaches... it’s just that he’s a bit proud and likes to lecture people. That’s how those academic types are."

Fang Huai smiled noncommittally.

A bit proud?

If I were willing to share the authorship rights of the plan with him, he’d probably be all smiles with me in no time.

"Alright, don’t worry. It’s just a couple of words about me, I’m not that petty... however, I do hope the instructor won’t be petty later on."

Fang Huai’s words caused Jin Guotao to frown again.

"Fang Huai, if you have any objections, don’t get into a conflict with the instructor. Rest assured, if he really targets you repeatedly, I will definitely report it to the big team."

He was the district team captain. Although he couldn’t understand the conflict between Fang Huai and the instructor, he knew Fang Huai must be quite influential, and he was also somewhat uncertain about Fang Huai’s personality. Judging by the tone of his words, it seemed like a head-on clash might ensue.

Maintaining teaching discipline was his main responsibility.

The student big team and the teaching affairs were two separate management systems. The students had to respect the teachers, of course, but if the teachers were problematic, he also had the right to report it to higher authorities.

However, since the teachers generally held higher ranks, the students definitely could not conflict with them. This was not only a matter of discipline but also one of hierarchical concepts.

Fang Huai touched his head and, not wanting to make things difficult for Jin Guotao, said:

"Don’t worry, I won’t target him."

The people around were a bit confused.

Well, well.

Someone with a backing really talks differently.

You won’t target him?

If the instructor heard this, he’d probably turn green with rage, wouldn’t he?

Jin Guotao and Yang Tao both really wanted to remind Fang Huai that the students here were from the entire whole corps. Clashing with an instructor here, regardless of any connections, would not be good for one’s reputation.

"Fang Huai, you..."

Before Jin Guotao could say more, Fang Huai’s eyes flashed as if he thought of something. He raised his hand, stopping him from speaking further, and then grabbed a pen to scribble on a piece of paper.

It looked like he was drawing a building.

Seeing him do this, everyone begrudgingly left.

A three-and-a-half-floor building with windows, a door, and ventilation shafts slowly took shape under his pen...

Having finished the drawing, Fang Huai stared blankly at the paper for a while.

After a long moment, Fang Huai lifted his head, exhaled deeply, and his grip on the paper gradually tightened, squeezing it more and more.

A look of regret slowly appeared in his eyes, and a bit of tearful gloss emerged.

"I should have changed it earlier, I should have... brother..."

...

As the instructor and a few other teachers chatted and re-entered the classroom, with steaming cups of tea in their hands and smiles on their faces...

The other teachers did not come in, but instead stood at the door, glanced toward Fang Huai sitting in the rear row, then departed.

Fang Huai keenly observed all this, although his mindset had changed somewhat since earlier.

In his eyes, there was now a trace of seriousness.

If before he exchanged knowledge merely to prevent anyone from disturbing his plan, plus a bit of ego due to face-saving rivalry, now his thoughts were completely focused on another matter.

How many people would pay the price for the wrong tactical thinking.

Jin Guotao was just about to stand up, but the instructor had already spoken.

"No need to report, let’s continue where we left off, the Door Control Technique."

The instructor truly had an air of military briskness, quickly erasing the blackboard.

Some people down below began to panic. The material was already not being taught in detail, and without any notes from this already challenging lesson, it would be incomprehensible during review.

"Teacher! Don’t erase it! I haven’t finished copying!"

The instructor’s hand didn’t stop moving. He erased the board and began writing again, saying:

"Taking notes is part of the class, and I gave you ten minutes. What were you doing? Copy from another classmate."

As he spoke, "Fire Scene Interior Attack—Door Control Auxiliary Technology" was already written on the board.

"Door control, as the name implies, is the control of doors."

The instructor turned around, looking at everyone:

"Please listen carefully. I will be calling on people to answer questions later."

As he said this, the instructor glanced at Fang Huai, whether intentionally or not.

The other students could not help but look at him, some already snickering, finding the new guy to be quite unlucky. Did he just happen to catch the instructor on a bad day, since he kept being called out?

Jin Guotao quickly cast a cautionary glance at Fang Huai.

Fang Huai was all seriousness, watching the instructor without taking his eyes off him.

Noticing Fang Huai’s direct gaze, the instructor felt that the awe of the previous lesson had, at the very least, made Fang Huai stop looking at his book and seriously listen to the lecture, and a smile spread across his lips again.

"Based on the content of our previous lecture, we have completed the fire investigation and assessment, and obtained some limited information about the interior. The next step is to decide between attacking from the outside or the inside.

An external attack is usually quite risky because the environment inside the fire scene is unknown. Water spray could easily disrupt the internal balance and create a large amount of steam, worsening the survivability of any trapped individuals. Therefore, an external attack is often chosen only when the fire has already reached the outside and is particularly fierce. Otherwise, the standard practice is to cool the walls and contain the fire from the outside.
