back to Earth

new uniform.

Cheng Zhen looked at the black and dark blue suit in front of him, with silver armbands on the cuffs, smooth and capable lines, and an obvious military uniform style.

This really doesn't look like a school uniform, at least compared to the original junior school uniform, this new uniform is much more gorgeous.

"Want to try?"

The mother standing aside looked at Cheng Zhen expectantly, with an unknown gleam in her eyes.

"Sure enough, it is indeed one of the top ten academies in the interstellar world. The uniform of Clems is not ordinary handsome!" With an exclamation tone, the girlish mother said humanely. "My biggest dream back then was to find a lover who wore a military school uniform. Unexpectedly, this wish could not be fulfilled, but now it is my son who wears this suit. Hehe, this may be more important than realizing my own wish. good."

Looking at his mother who had obviously sunk into fantasy, a row of black lines hung on Cheng Zhen's forehead.

"Ahem." The father, who had been silent all this time, coughed lightly and looked at the eldest son and said. "Ah Zhen, you are going to report to Clemson College tomorrow. All the necessities have been sent, have you seen everything suitable?"

"Very suitable, Dad." Looking at his embarrassed father, Cheng Zhen smiled tacitly. "After registration, I will send a letter back, and I must attach a photo in school uniform."

Obviously, these words comforted the mother's delusions, and the mother of the Cheng family looked at her son who was about to go far away, and felt a little bit sad.

"Isn't it half a month before school starts? Why don't you stay at home so early? You don't know when you'll be back."

There was deep reluctance in his voice.

Cheng Zhen looked at his sentimental mother, and explained again helplessly. "Clems is far away from the [-]th District, in the Lion Constellation of the public district. In addition, we have to make preparations for the start of school in advance. If we don't leave now, it may be too late."

"Okay, okay, I know everything." The mother stretched out her hand to caress the cheeks of the eldest son, and sighed. "It's just that I don't want you to go out alone, and I don't know how much hardship it will take."

"What are you talking about! It's an honor for our family that Ah Zhen is admitted to Clemson. You should be happy for him, don't worry about him so much, he's a man now." Holding his wife from behind, Cheng's father looked at the already The eldest son who is as tall as himself.

"This time, there will definitely be difficulties. Can you survive?"

"Yes, father." Facing his father's stern gaze, Cheng Zhen couldn't help answering with his chest raised.

Looking at his handsome son, Cheng's father nodded in relief, but continued to exhort him with a relaxed expression. "Remember, after you enter the Clemson Academy, you will not only represent yourself, but the entire human race. You must always be vigilant not to make any mistakes, understand?"

"I know father, I will be cautious." Clemson College is a military academy that integrates multiple races, and humans only occupy a small corner of it.In this hodgepodge of colleges, there will certainly be no shortage of interracial disputes.Cheng Zhen also understands this very well.

After another long discussion with his parents, Cheng Zhen came out of the living room, but met a figure who had been lying in wait for a long time at the corner.

"How long have you been listening here?" The boy paused and asked with a smile.

"I've listened to everything I need to hear." Cheng Yu, who was standing in the shadow, came out and said. "You're leaving tomorrow, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Yes, I hope my dear second brother can successfully replace the throne that I vacated while I am away!"

"Fuck you." Cheng Yu smiled and punched him.

Perhaps because of their similar ages, the two brothers have always been close and talk about everything.

"To be honest, after I leave home, Errol and Emma will trouble you to take care of them."

"Hmph, it's as if I'm not usually taking care of them. You big brother, you just spoil them blindly."

Cheng Zhen smiled helplessly, and the two brothers walked up to the second floor together.

"Is Errol asleep?"

"That brat refused to sleep, I just watched him fall asleep..."

A happy and ordinary life, as always.

The next day, in the boarding hall of the airport, Cheng Zhen stood at the entrance and waved to his family in the distance.

From a distance, he could see that his mother seemed to be crying, while Errol and Emma were being hugged by Cheng Yu, desperately reaching their heads to look at him.The father, who has always been majestic, stood at the end and watched silently.

For a moment, this scene deeply caught his eyes.Cheng Zhen's eyes were slightly red. In the 17 years of his new life, he deeply felt the warmth and love of this family.But I didn't expect that I would be so sentimental at this moment of separation, and almost wet my eyes.

Laughing at his own sentimentality, Cheng Zhen turned and walked towards the boarding aisle.

Even if it's just to protect his family, he must become stronger in this chaotic interstellar world.At this moment, the boy made such an oath in his heart.

The airports in the 18th district of the alliance are also people from the grassroots.Cheng Zhen followed the boarding flow of people onto the shuttle spaceship, and through the window on the left wing, he took a last look at the familiar world—Human Alliance No.[-] area.

Afterwards, the captain boarded the plane and announced the departure.

At the moment when the shuttle took off, all the familiar scenery turned into mottled lights and shadows and quickly disappeared.

The whole world was suddenly plunged into darkness, and after a while, when the eyes got used to the light, what came into view was the endless sea of ​​stars.In the black-blue infinite world, there are many silver-white shining lights, and the stars are shining.

The shuttle spacecraft has entered the wide interstellar channel. In this star sea, spaceships from various races and forces come and go.Occasionally, a light spot in the distance can be seen flashing quickly, which is a ship sailing in the interstellar channel like this shuttle spaceship.

Closing his eyes and feigning sleep, Cheng Zhen knew that this shuttle spacecraft was flying between two distant star fields at a speed that was unattainable to the speed of light.

Even so, it would take a week to drive from the No.18 area of ​​the Human Alliance to the Lion Constellation in the public area.

The universe is so vast that no intelligent race can conquer this behemoth.

Life on the spaceship for a week is boring and monotonous.When the shuttle finally arrived at its destination, everyone including Cheng Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After queuing up to get off the spaceship, Cheng Zhen looked up, his dark pupils suddenly constricted.

What jumped into the eye was a transparent protective shield the size of the entire Eighteenth District. These hundreds of giant protective shields were connected by countless passages extending in all directions, forming a building complex beyond the scale of stars.

This huge building complex is one of the top ten academies in the interstellar world——Clems, a sharp sword hanging in the constellation of the lion.

Clearly visible inside the protective cover are various buildings and criss-cross streets. Inside the largest protective cover is a huge silver-white building complex with towering spires reaching the top of the protective cover. , Like soldiers waiting to be patrolled, solemn and dignified.

Surrounding this silver building are circular streets like meteor belts, which are traffic lanes built for the convenience of students.

This is the teaching area of ​​Clemson College, and other large and small protective shields around it are centered on it. Commercial areas, residential areas, entertainment areas, etc. are all built around this teaching area.

Cheng Zhen calmed down a little, recovering from the shock of seeing Clemson College for the first time.He turned his head and saw that almost everyone had the same surprised expression as he did just now, and he felt a little more at ease.

At least I'm not the only one who doesn't know, isn't it?

Reassuring himself, Cheng Zhen walked towards the nearest entry port.There are already a lot of people waiting in line here, and the inspectors carefully check everyone's entry information to prevent negligence.

The inspectors at the entry gate uniformly wore silver and white uniforms, which matched the main color of Clems.However, silver hair, light-colored eyes, and white skin like jade, these characteristics different from human beings are declaring that these inspectors with humanoid appearance are not human beings, but another race—the so-called "Silver Race" tribe” of the Amis.

At the end of the inspection, the young man handed over his admission card.The Amish inspector carefully compared the portrait on the admission card with Cheng Zhen himself, and after confirming that it was correct, he let him go.

But when Cheng Zhen walked through the entry gate, he heard the inspector Ahmis humming softly. "Another human student..."

There was contempt and contempt in his tone that couldn't be concealed.

Cheng Zhuo, who has excellent hearing, could clearly hear these words and the emotions contained in them, but the boy just stopped for a while, and then left the exit without looking back.

It is not a day or two that the outside world, especially the "Silver Clan" Amis, despise human beings.As the reputation of the Human Alliance in the interstellar world has continued to decline in recent decades, other intelligent races have become more and more prejudiced against humans.

Even though human beings are the second awakened race in interstellar history, they still haven't been able to regain much fame.

StarCraft is a world that respects strength, no matter how much glory you have won in the past, as long as you have no strength, no one will look at you high.

In the past ten centuries, mecha pilots of human origin are the fewest among all intelligent races, only one percent of the "Golden Clan" and one tenth of the "Silver Clan".There are only a handful of emperor-level human pilots.This is a manifestation of the decline in human strength, and it is also the source of the contempt of other races.

Although the alliance headquarters has made countless efforts to this end, it still hasn't been able to change this phenomenon. There are only fewer and fewer human mech pilots, and their strength cannot be compared with other races.If this continues, even if the Interstellar General Assembly prohibits wars between various intelligent races, the situation facing the Human Alliance will only become more and more severe.

Cheng Zhen clearly understood that, as a member of mankind, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only silently endure the arrogance of other races.

Until one day, he possesses such a powerful strength that no one dares to speak out.
