back to Earth

Step, step, step.

In the empty hall, only the loud echo of boots stepping on the black stone can be heard.

The black door was wide open, and the long corridor outside the hall could be seen.On the polished and smooth slate, even the silhouette of a person can be clearly seen.

As the footsteps got closer, a tall man walked in.That is a man who you will never forget as long as you take a look at him.The cold and hard curvature of his lips showed his determination and indifference.

He walked steadily, and every step he took seemed to have been calculated with the most precision, the same distance, the same strength, no more, no less.Every step he takes, seems to have an aggressive aura, making the whole space freeze.

After the man walked into the hall, Muran cast a holographic image on the circular ceiling.A middle-aged man with serious eyes appeared in the video.

"This time, it has been decided."

The middle-aged man looked at the silent man in the hall, "The previous proposal was unanimously approved, and the motion is settled. You will be in charge of Klein's prelude this time. Do you have any objections?"

The man standing alone in the hall still did not speak, his shadow was projected on the stone slab, as if expressing emotions on behalf of the owner.

Hard and indifferent.

"...Then, I'll take it as your acquiescence. After 20 days, I'm ready to leave." After the middle-aged man in the video finished speaking, he seemed to have a headache when he looked at the man who still didn't say a word.However, after all, he could only sigh helplessly, escaping like a tunnel. "The notice has been issued, please prepare yourself, Rhine Bertutan."

The hologram shuts off abruptly, as silently as it appeared.The hall fell into silence again.

Standing in place for a long time, the man standing still is as motionless as a stone sculpture.His expression is also more indifferent than that of the statue.

Suddenly, a meteor passed by, and the brilliance emitted came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The light shone on the man's stern face, and in an instant, a golden light flashed.

Those were a pair of light golden eyes, which were lit up by the flying meteors, and suddenly they were as beautiful and dazzling as radiance.And the owner of this pair of different eyes - Rhine Bertutan frowned slightly.As if loathing the tiny meteor light, he closed his eyes.

When the beautiful pale gold eyes were closed, it seemed that even the air around him was sighing.

But the man turned around resolutely and left the hall with the same firm steps.

From the beginning to the end, not a word was said.

"Why did you choose this place?"

In the public restaurant where people come and go, Cheng Zhen looked at Mi Saqi who was sitting opposite, and asked helplessly.

"I'm hungry, so I chose here by the way. What, you don't like it?" Putting down the dinner in his hands, Misaqi looked up at Cheng Zhen.

"It's not..." I felt those thorny gazes and unrelenting voices of discussion.Cheng Zhen sighed helplessly, and at the same time admired Misaqi's rough nerves again.

Since they entered this public restaurant, almost everyone has looked at this side.Some people observed quietly, while others simply watched openly.No matter how good Cheng Zhen's psychological quality is, he still can't completely throw those scorching gazes behind him.

His speech at the opening ceremony attracted everyone's attention.And the rumors of "teaching" that have been circulating in the past few days have made Cheng Zhen the focus of everyone.

However, this human chief, who is rarely seen, suddenly appeared in the public restaurant of ordinary students at this time. How could it not attract crowds of onlookers?

"Well, I did it on purpose." Putting down the tableware in his hand, Misaqi admitted.

As a student of the Department of Intelligence, Misaqi is not as careless as he appears on the outside.He also noticed some abnormalities around him. "I just brought you here specially to let those people take a good look!"

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Zhen asked, sitting on a chair, simply letting others look at him openly.

"Look at you!" Misaqi said with a look of hatred for iron. "You don't know where you have been for the past few days. Do you know what those people say about you behind your back? Some people even say that you hide on purpose because you have to take tuition and feel shameless! They also say that the entire mecha department is just you One person lags behind the other students, that’s why he received this kind of treatment. Some people mocked behind his back, saying that he might as well let you transfer to another department!”

Misaki finished speaking in one breath, feeling aggrieved. "So I'll take you out for a stroll, to let others see that Cheng Zhen is not hiding, he's doing well! Let those talkative people shut up their stinking mouths like cesspit!"

Cheng Zhen couldn't help laughing when Mi Saqi said about the cesspit, and asked again. "Does everyone say that?"

"Uh, it doesn't seem to be the case." Ryan thought about it carefully. "Most of the people are watching to watch your show, only a few people are spreading rumors and making trouble over there."

"En." Cheng Zhen nodded. "good."

"Is this alright?" Seeing his friend's unshakable look, Misaqi was impatient. "You don't care what people say about you behind your back?"

"Is it necessary?" Cheng Zhen smiled lightly as he looked up at Misaqi. "There are only two kinds of people who listen to rumors or create rumors at will. One is that they are too incompetent, so they especially like to belittle others to be the same as themselves. The other kind of people are alive and dead, and they can't find their own existence. Meaning, so they add insult to injury to the rumors, to prove that they can do other things besides breathing."

Brunette teenager sums up. "The above two kinds have only one way out in the future, and that is to become worthless people. For these people who are destined to be eliminated, is it necessary to pay attention to them?"

Misaqi froze in place for a while, he was still very angry with those who caused trouble behind the scenes.Now the anger has gradually faded, and there is only one feeling in my heart.

What is ruthless?This is really cruel!Cheng Zhen is like this, no matter what others say, he will treat those gossips as air, and don't even bother to listen to them.For those who bother to create and spread rumors, hitting Cheng Zhen is their ultimate goal.And looking at Cheng Zhen's nonchalant reaction now, those people will vomit blood and die after knowing the truth!

Yes, I will!

Looking at the calm and calm black-haired boy in front of him, Misaqi felt a little sorry for those "people destined to be eliminated".Not only did Cheng Zhen ignore the rumors, but even their own existence was completely denied by Cheng Zhen.This life is really miserable to a certain extent!

"And—" Cheng Zhen continued, glancing at Misaqi. "Most people did not participate, but chose to watch. This proves that most people in the academy are still very wise. They will not be confused by temporary gossip, and will only judge the truth from the things themselves. As long as I can Prove your worth, and those rumors will naturally be self-defeating."

Cheng Zhen still thought to himself, after all, it is one of the top ten academies, and the quality of students at Clemson Academy is still very high.

"Okay, okay. I'm overthinking it." Misaqi sighed helplessly, and dared to worry about him alone from the beginning to the end.

"Although it didn't work, I'm still very grateful for your kindness." Cheng Zhen looked at his friend with a smile.

"If you didn't say the previous sentence, I would be happier..." The Ryan star who was hit was unable to complain, and could only slander Cheng Zhen's bad temper that was not easy to show in his heart.

what temper?Even those who can be put into Cheng Zhen's eyes, he will definitely treat each other sincerely, and those people he doesn't care about at all, Cheng Zhen never pays attention to their thoughts.Sometimes Cheng Zhen's casual words can really knock those people from heaven to hell.

To put it simply, it means treating friends like a spring breeze, and treating enemies like a cold winter.

"Forget it, anyway, I asked you to come here, and it's not just for this matter. There's also--hey, people are finally here!" Halfway through the speech, Misaqi suddenly stood up and faced Cheng Shin waved in a certain direction behind his back. "Hey, over here! Come here quickly!"

His voice was so loud that most of the people in the restaurant looked towards him.

The person who was called by Misaqi hurried over, his face pale. "Can you keep your voice down, I've seen you guys a long time ago, so you don't have to shout so loudly!" He said, and glanced at Cheng Zhen.

This table is particularly eye-catching because of the presence of the chief human being.In the huge restaurant, you don't have to look for it, you can see it at a glance by following the eyes of everyone secretly looking at it.

"Good evening, Cassia." Cheng Zhen greeted the visitor with a smile.

"Night, good evening." Cassia responded with some embarrassment.He still remembered that the two of them broke up that day, so why is Cheng Zhen acting like a normal person now?

"Have you eaten?" A certain human chief smiled and continued to greet with the greeting from the 21st century.

Cassia, who lived in the interstellar era, was a little stunned. She couldn't understand this ancient way of greeting well, so she stammered and replied after a while.

"Forget it, I've eaten it." I felt uneasy in my heart, not knowing why Cheng Zhen suddenly asked about his dinner.Is there any special purpose?

It has to be said that with the passage of time, the ancient way of greeting humans has really been completely forgotten.A simple greeting, "Have you eaten yet?" Cassia guessed all kinds of conspiracies.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Cassia is not of oriental descent, and may not be able to understand this greeting with the characteristics of the times.

However, a certain human chief didn't know that his ancient greeting actually made the human compatriot beside him suspicious for a long time.He didn't know where the convulsions were, and he even used this long-abandoned greeting to greet Cassia.

It can only be said that sometimes Cheng Zhen's brain circuit is still very different.

"Okay, ahem, now that everyone is here, I'll start to answer!" Misaqi coughed, calling the attention of the two of them.

"Answer what?" Cassia, who was summoned halfway, asked puzzled.

Cheng Zhen replied instead of Misaqi. "I asked Misaqi one thing, and he said that if you were there, he could better answer my question."

Cassia was studying the Department of Strategy, and Cheng Zhen had long speculated in his mind what was the connection between the Battle of Klein and Interstellar Strategy.Otherwise, why did you have to find Cassia specifically?

"Quiet." After glancing at the two whispering dissatisfiedly, Teacher Misaqi began to teach. "Cheng Zhen asked me about the Battle of Klein..."

"What...!" Cassia was so startled that she was about to jump up after saying the term.

"Sit down, sit down!" Misaqi hurriedly pulled his roommate down. "I know you have doubts, wait until I finish explaining to this chief lord who lacks common sense, right now, you are not allowed to express your opinions!"

The chief lord who lacked common sense smiled slightly, waiting for his explanation.

"When you talk about the Klein battle, you have to talk about the Klein prelude. But no matter which one, anyone with the word Klein is related to that person." Misaqi said in a deep voice down. "Victor Klein. Cheng Zhen, don't tell me, you don't even know this adult."

Victor Klein, a name that everyone in the entire interstellar world knows well.

This crazy figure who once swept over half of the universe has long been settled in the dust of history.It's just that when later generations occasionally recall him, they still feel unspeakable respect from their hearts.

Some people are remembered by history because their existence itself is a miracle.
