Chapter 19

“Of course! Wait a moment, junior sister! I’ll go help get the form!”

Just a moment ago, he was secretly admiring the beautiful junior sister, but unexpectedly, she turned around and chose to join his family. Meng Mingcheng was momentarily stunned, feeling floaty and unsteady. Once he realized what happened, he was overjoyed and quickly volunteered to serve, offering tea and water.

The line for enrollment at Silver Star Academy wasn’t long, but there were more seniors and elder sisters surrounding it than there were people in the queue.

The students here were also clever and attentive. Without saying a word, they immediately handed over water and energy supplements.

After receiving a few bottles of advanced nutrient solution, Yuan Hanshuang’s heart gradually cleared up from its gloom.

Although she had obtained a new identity card on the black market, identification documents could be forged, but DNA couldn’t. The Imperial Military had absolute power and had a specialized system for political investigations. If they needed a DNA sample, they might uncover something. The consequences would be unbearable, so she couldn’t take any uncertain actions.

In conclusion, the reason for choosing Silver Star Academy was simple.

Silver Star Academy was located next to the Empire’s First Military Academy, with a large shared campus in between. As long as she could enroll, she might have a chance to access the military database for information in the future.

“Hello, fellow student! Welcome to our Silver Star, welcome, welcome!”

The recruitment office teacher was just as enthusiastic as the students in the academy. Not only did they ask warm and caring questions, but they also snatched the resume form and helped fill it out, providing one-stop service.

When they saw the combination on Yuan Hanshuang’s transcript, the air suddenly became quiet.

The students who were helping out all looked at each other in shock, their eyes revealing uncontrollable astonishment.

“Damn! She’s a big shot!”

“We’ve found a real big shot! Today, we might have a chance for extra chicken drumsticks!”

The first student who saw the grades took a couple of steps and whispered to another student next to them. The latter understood immediately and quickly opened their Star net to send an encrypted message.

“What? We’ve enrolled a talented student? Quick, keep it secret!”

A top message popped up in the Silver Star enrollment group, and many students lowered their heads to check it. They went through the process of their pupils shaking in shock and gasping for air, then a burst of joy followed, quickly exchanging glances.

“Keep it hidden, don’t let the Empire’s Military Academy find out!”

“Understood! Got it!”

Unlike the quiet and solemn atmosphere of the Empire’s Military Academy, the students of Silver Star Academy were noisy and lively, gathering together and turning the enrollment office into a marketplace, causing a buzzing sound in people’s heads.

Suddenly, it fell silent all at once. As time went by, it began to draw the attention of the neighboring side.

Unlike Silver Star, the Empire’s Military Academy didn’t send out all their students at once. They only dispatched one department each day, and today happened to be the day for the Close Combat Department. The chief of the department led the entire department to stand aside and welcome the new students.

Just as they finished arranging themselves, they turned their heads and saw the people from Silver Star exchanging meaningful glances, behaving strangely, as if they were trying to hold back laughter but couldn’t help their excitement, as if they were planning something mischievous.

Bian Yu, the chief of the Close Combat Department, immediately felt that something was not right. “Go find out what they’re up to.”

A few military academy students were assigned the task. They pretended to casually walk around and after a while, hastily returned with the same strange expression on their faces. “Silver Star just recruited an outstanding talent.”

“Outstanding talent?” Bian Yu raised an eyebrow. “How outstanding?”

The military academy student lowered their voice. “Not sure, but it seems like they entered at the fourth rank.”

“Fourth rank? Silver Star has enrolled a student with S-level talent?”

Not only Bian Yu, but everyone present in the recruitment office was also stunned.

The teacher in charge was also momentarily stunned.

“To achieve the fourth stage at such a young age, only those with exceptional psychic aptitude can do so. Such outstanding talents like this S-class student are limited in number, as all seven prestigious academies recruit a fixed amount each year. If one academy accepts a student, it means another misses out.”

“Why didn’t this exceptional talent choose our Imperial Military Academy?” The teacher shook their head with regret but didn’t say anything. On the other hand, the students from the military academy were indignant.

While Silver Star and the Imperial Military Academy were neighbors, their relationship was far from good. The Imperial Military Academy, considering themselves as the pride of the empire, looked down on the students from Silver Star, considering them unruly and noisy. Silver Star, in turn, thought the military academy students were arrogant and show-offs.

The two academies had a mutual dislike for each other, resulting in frequent clashes and minor conflicts.

Including this time when Silver Star targeted the Imperial Military Academy for recruitment, even though they were attracting students who hadn’t passed the military academy’s tests, it still rubbed people the wrong way!

“Enough, it’s just an S-class student.”

Bian Yu interrupted the discussion among the other military academy students. “While S-class talents are indeed precious, it’s not like we don’t have any in our academy. Besides, we even have the first S+ class student in the entire interstellar community. Why worry about this? Even if Silver Star has an S-class student, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll cause a stir in next year’s rankings.”

After giving it some thought, everyone agreed, “That’s true.”

“It’s just that Silver Star hasn’t recruited an S-class student in a long time, so they are excited about it.”

In the top 7 rankings tournament, the Imperial Military Academy held a dominant position, and only their old rivals, the Federation Military Academy, and occasionally, the unexpected moves by the prestigious Qingbei Academy, could draw their attention.

For such a powerful military academy that held a dominant position, it was difficult to pay much attention to an S-class freshman.

In short, Silver Star wasn’t qualified enough.

Meanwhile, the enrollment procedures were already halfway completed.

“Please demonstrate your Manifestation.”

As soon as the words fell, the twin-tailed girl was instantly surrounded by a powerful airflow. A nearly transparent, enormous fish, almost two to three meters long, emerged from the rippling light blue psychic ripple around her.

Under the sunlight, the red and white colors on the large fish’s body became even more vibrant, as if it were translucent glass.

“W-What kind of fish is this? It’s so big!”

While the other freshmen were summoning their small cats and dogs to interact, the appearance of the giant fish undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, leaving the onlookers gaping in awe.

“S-class talent, it must be an S-class talent!”

The Imperial Military Academy students who witnessed this scene were even more certain of the girl’s manifestation level.

To judge the strength of a manifestation, apart from considering the rarity of the manifestation type, the simplest and most intuitive method was to look at its size.

For example, the academy chairman of the neighboring Imperial First Military Academy, the renowned Holy Son of the Luminous Temple, Archangel Gabriel, when fully manifesting his psychic form, could reach several floors high, resembling a god overlooking everything—an extremely awe-inspiring sight. His S+ level was well-deserved.

“What kind of Manifestation is this?”

The enrollment officer from Silver Star admissions office exclaimed in astonishment as they looked at the shimmering and magnificent fish. They were certain they hadn’t seen anything similar in the comprehensive guide to psychic Metamorphosis.

Yuan Hanshuang paused for a moment and replied, “It’s a Koi, a common red and white Koi.”

Her tone carried an unmistakable hint of concealment.

In the past two years, with the increase in cultivation level, the size of the Koi fish has also started to develop proportionately. Even the ornamental Koi fish that have been given growth hormones since they were small cannot grow this big. This made Yuan Hanshuang somewhat suspicious if it was the promotion of the little black bird that somehow affected the other side’s manifestation.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, everyone: “.”

This fish, as tall as two people, has beautiful and shiny scales all over its body, smooth and slippery, and it looks like an extraordinary Koi fish that can be seen everywhere in the interstellar observation water pool? Are you kidding me?

Admissions teacher: Alright.

Some talented individuals do not like others to know or talk about their manifestation. Just like the imperial little prince who enrolled in Silver Star this year, clearly a powerful top-tier variant Golden Lion, but insists on saying that his manifestation is just a Golden Lion. He gets annoyed with anyone who mentions “Variant Lion”.

One can only say that the quirks of geniuses are hard for ordinary people to understand. Respect and bless.

“Your enrollment procedures have been completed. This is the new student barcode. Open the Silver Star Academy app on your neural implant to check the dormitory assigned to you. The class schedule will be arranged after military training.”

After all, with personal information and high school examination scores, only the appearance of the Manifestation needs to be recorded. Soon, the admissions teacher successfully completed the enrollment procedures for Yuan Hanfrost, three times faster than other students.

“Junior sister, come, let me take you to the dormitory.”

After receiving the admission letter, she was brought into the school by enthusiastic senior brothers and sisters.

The architectural style of Silver Star is very unique, mostly presenting a classical and magnificent feeling, unlike anything Yuan Hanshuang has seen before. The outlines and corners are more complex, making it look more exquisite and pleasing to the eye.
