"Wiggin, I finally traded you. I was able to persuade Rat Army that your incredible place on the efficiency listis more than an accident. You go over there tomorrow.""Thank you, sir," Ender said.Perhaps he sounded too grateful. Suddenly Bonzo swung at him, caught his jaw with a vicious open-handedslap. It knocked Ender sideways, into his bunk, and he almost fell. Then Bonzo slugged him, hard, in thestomach. Ender dropped to his knees."You disobeyed me," Bonzo said. Loudly, for all to hear. "No good soldier ever disobeys."Even as he cried from the pain, Ender could not help but take vengeful pleasure in the murmurs he heard risingthrough the barracks. You fool, Bonzo. You aren't enforcing discipline, you're destroying it. They know I turneddefeat into a draw. And now they see how you repay me. You made yourself look stupid in front of everyone.What is your discipline worth now?The next day, Ender told Petra that for her sake the shooting practice in the morning would have to end. Bonzodidn't need anything that looked like a challenge now, and so she'd better stay clear of Ender for a while. Sheunderstood perfectly. "Besides," she said, "you're as close to being a good shot as you'll ever be."He left his desk and flash suit in the locker. He would wear his Salamander uniform until he could get to thecommissary and change it for the brown and black of Rat. He had brought no possessions with him; he wouldtake none away. There were none to have-- everything of value was in the school computer or his own head andhands.He used one of the public desks in the game room to register for an earth-gravity personal combat course duringthe hour immediately after breakfast. He didn't plan to get vengeance on Bonzo for hitting him. But he did intendthat no one would he able to do that to him again.第 103 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
