Successfully digging up a good seedling, Meng Mingcheng’s enthusiasm surged on the way: “I didn’t expect you, junior sister, to also be in the close combat department like me.”

No matter how Yuan Hanshuang hears it, she doesn’t like being called junior sister.

But even though he was chatty, he did share a lot of freshmen tips.

Unlike the advanced and intermediate colleges, students in the junior college do not have grade divisions. Compulsory courses are divided into low, intermediate, and high levels, and students can only move on to the next level after completing the compulsory courses of the previous level.

Yuan Hanshuang: “So, according to this, we only need to earn enough credits to graduate. There is no need to complete the mandatory five-year education in the school?”

“Yes, but after earning enough credits, you still need to pass the graduation assessment to successfully obtain the graduation certificate.” Meng Mingcheng scratched his head. “And some subjects have certain conditions that must be met to unlock them. For example, the ancient martial arts course can only be taken after passing the advanced combat course. So, at least three years of study in the academy are required to meet the graduation requirements.”

“If you haven’t earned enough credits all along or failed the compulsory course level exams, your graduation will be postponed. We have a senior here who has been studying for nine years. This year is his tenth year.”

Yuan Hanshuang: “.”

Ten years and still not graduated, that person is truly tenacious.

In addition, Meng Mingcheng also pointed out some iconic buildings within the academy, such as the Central Grand Hall, the cafeteria, and the teaching buildings located in different areas.

Of course, finding one’s way is not a problem in the interstellar era. Just open the panoramic map on the star net, and it will automatically navigate to the classroom listed on the class schedule.

“By the way, I forgot to tell junior sister that military training is required for the first half month before new students enroll.”

Meng Mingcheng remembered this matter: “Half of our school leaders have been arrested, and the school is currently understaffed. This year’s military training will probably be conducted together with the neighboring Imperial First Military Academy.”

“What specifically does military training involve?”

“It’s probably things like running with weights, standing in military posture, climbing mountains, and obstacle courses. It’s not particularly difficult for us in the close combat department. But this year, the military academy is in charge, so I’m not sure about the details.”

“Oh, then it’s no problem.”

Military training was not a concern for Yuan Hanshuang. She looked at the list of military training activities on her personal device. A day of training was about the same as her daily training routine, so it was easy for her.

Setting that aside, her main concern was the food.

Food was naturally of utmost importance, and Meng Mingcheng assured her, “Don’t worry! Our canteen provides hundreds of flavors of nutrient solutions. If you want cooked meals, you can go to the first canteen where there are chefs dedicated to cooking. The taste is good, but it’s a bit expensive. Even the students from the neighboring military academy often come over for meals.”

Having cooked meals for every meal was something Yuan Hanshuang couldn’t afford.

She discreetly inquired and found out that the nutrient solutions provided by the school were also free, but there was a personal limit. She was overjoyed.

With the advancement of her cultivation level, Yuan Hanshuang’s appetite had also increased.

Five years ago, when Young Master Gu gave her that bag of crystal nuclei, if she trained at full power, she could consume a bag in a day.

Although her earning ability increased after becoming a diamond fighter, the amount of money spent on filling her stomach also increased exponentially. She had never been able to save much money, and even her personal device was the oldest model.

In desperation, Yuan Hanshuang could only mix the nutrient solutions with the crystal nuclei and sometimes even go to the scrap store to recycle some useless crystal nucleus fragments.

She had even decided that after finishing this semester, she would join the nearby pollution star hunting group with the mercenary group from the black market during the summer vacation to hunt and dig crystal nuclei from the insect race. She would take matters into her own hands to ensure her own well-being.

After seeing her off at the dormitory building, Meng Mingcheng waved goodbye. “Alright, junior sister, I’ll leave you here. These few days, you can familiarize yourself with the school and buy the necessary daily supplies. We’ll see each other when classes officially start.”

“Thank you.”

After swiping her student card at the entrance, Yuan Hanshuang easily found her own dormitory.

In this era of abundant resources, besides the military academy that strictly followed the six-person dormitory system, the other advanced colleges had comfortable double or quadruple rooms, all equipped with private bathrooms.

The dormitory was empty, with no one else around.

“I wonder when the other roommate will come. I hope they have a good personality.”

She took out her few belongings from her spatial pocket and started making her bed.

After finishing her bed and organizing her personal belongings, since her other roommate didn’t show up, Yuan Hanshuang closed the door and decided to go out for a stroll.

She was indeed a bit of a shopaholic, but as her cultivation level increased, the satiety value required for meditation exceeded her current economic capacity. In desperation, Yuan Hanshuang had to temporarily put her shopaholic behavior on hold.

She used the navigation system to slowly explore the major cafeterias on Silver Star.

1999 light-years away from the center.

Due to the vast distance of the galaxy, she arrived at the school in advance to allow ample time. It was still the enrollment season, and classes would officially begin in three days.

While checking out the area, Yuan Hanshuang checked on the Star Net number Directory.

Staring at the Star net number that hadn’t been contacted in five years, she hesitated for a long time before finally editing a short message and choosing to send it.

So much can change in five years.

After the incident, Yuan Hanshuang didn’t choose to revoke her death certificate but instead went into hiding, moving directly to the Black Street to live. Naturally, she didn’t go back to the Junior Academy either. Due to various concerns, she didn’t even dare to pass on a message. Her former classmates and teachers probably assumed the worst for her.

It wasn’t that Yuan Hanshuang was cold-hearted or deliberately wanted to worry her teachers and classmates. It was because she knew that she carried a troublesome burden. It didn’t matter if her identity was exposed, but her father’s reputation was now in ruins, and she couldn’t involve more people.

But this year was different.

The group of kids who trained with her in the past had reached the age to participate in the college entrance exam. If they were lucky, they could meet in the top 7. After much deliberation, Yuan Hanshuang decided to proactively contact the one who was most likely to pass the exam.

She sent the message, but she didn’t expect to receive a reply.

Who would have thought that in the next second, a Star Net communication display would connect.

She hesitated for a long time before deciding to open it.

Once connected, a deep and almost unrecognizable voice came from the other side, accompanied by the words, “Boss!!!”

And with those words came a low sob.

Ke Junda was really crying.

He truly hadn’t expected to see his boss, who had been missing for five years, again.

“Why are you crying? Isn’t everything fine?” Yuan Hanshuang sighed, “Am I still your boss?”

“Yes!” Ke Junda wiped away his tears, “You’re my only boss!”

“Alright, alright, stop shouting.”

Seeing some people glancing their way, Yuan Hanshuang quickly put on her hanging earphones. “How did you do on your exams this year? Which school are you planning to apply to?”

After not seeing each other for five years, the first thing they talked about was grades. Ke Junda couldn’t help but recall the fear he felt when he was under the boss’s control, causing him to stand up straight.

“Reporting to the boss! I did well on the exams! I should be able to get into a few higher-ranking advanced colleges!”

Yuan Hanshuang’s incident had stimulated him. After graduating from the Junior Academy, Ke Junda had been working hard and successfully entered the best intermediate Academy near 1999 Star. Recently, he had even graduated with the best overall results.

“As for which college to apply to…” Ke Junda whispered, “I plan to apply to Lanxiang College.”

Lanxiang College consistently ranked at the bottom of the top 7. Their students’ talent levels were generally not high, and there had even been astonishing cases of F-level students successfully getting accepted through their own efforts.

In this interstellar world that valued psychic talent, Lanxiang College represented a stream that believed “effort can still lead to success.” It was the faith of many commoners.

“Lanxiang is not bad, their defense department is famous,” Yuan Hanshuang said and then suddenly added, “I just finished the enrollment procedures at Silver Star.”

Ke Junda was taken aback, “Boss, didn’t you say you were going to the military academy?”

During his training, Ke Junda secretly made up his mind to follow the footsteps of the boss and see the world by going to the military academy. However, fate had different plans. Despite his years of hard work and cultivation, his talent fell a bit short, only reaching B-level.

On a small planet, it would take about ten years for a B-level talent to appear, which is considered average among the top seven. Not to mention the Imperial Military Academy, a prestigious school where A-level talents can be found everywhere, like throwing a stone.

With Ke Junda’s performance, there was no way he could pass the exam.

Yuan Hanshuang: “There were some unexpected circumstances. When I came to register, I realized that the admission requirements of the Imperial Military Academy were too arrogant. I think Silver Star Academy is quite good and suits my taste.”

“The Tai Chi I was teaching you back then wasn’t finished yet. Do you want to consider continuing your studies at Silver Star?”

What she didn’t notice was that she had unknowingly crossed the boundary line of Yin Xing Academy and entered the shared campus area called the “Central Section” of the Imperial First Military Academy.

Unfortunately, she was still wearing headphones and speaking without deliberately lowering her voice.

.

Coincidentally, a group of military academy students passed by and heard these provocative words. They collectively stopped and glared at her.

Just as they were about to confront her for her arrogant remarks, a faint voice sounded.

“Have you forgotten what I said?”

Further ahead, a tall figure dressed in the white uniform of the Imperial Military Academy stood against the light.

A gentle smile adorned his lips. His silver hair cascaded behind him like moonlight, giving him an otherworldly appearance that could only be described using all the beautiful words in the world.

The students of the military academy froze. “Chairman!”

Luo Jia nodded lightly.

Yuan Hanshuang remained completely unaware of the situation and continued trying to persuade her little brother to come to Silver Star while belittling the neighboring school.

As she spoke, she naturally led her group past the motionless crowd and walked briskly towards the nearby cafeteria.

As they brushed past each other, Luo Jia seemed to sense something.

His eyes closed tightly, his long silver eyelashes drooping, as if there were actual eyes that fell upon the retreating figure.
