back to Earth

As soon as he returned to the academy, the Dawn watch beeped, and many communications came in almost at the same time.

Cheng Zhen glanced around, and found that most of them were from Misaqi, and his tone became more and more anxious every time, from asking about the result of the duel at the beginning, to asking about Cheng Zhenren's whereabouts.

[If you don't reply to my message again!I have decided to go to the academy with Cassia to report your disappearance! 】Seeing this latest communication, Cheng Zhen was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly checked the sending time.

5 minutes ago, it was still too late.Cheng really planned to connect to the communication, and explained it to Mi Saqi.Who would have thought that at this time, another message was sent to the Suguang watch.

[Quick to the training hall! 】

Such a brief message was sent by Mr. Vickery, who has always been silent.

It must be something very urgent for the always calm red-haired teacher to use such a hasty tone.At the moment, Cheng Zhen didn't care about communicating with Mi Saqi, so he could only hastily send a message to report his safety, and hurried to the training hall.

When he arrived at the entrance of the training hall, Cheng Zhen realized that it was much more lively than he had imagined.

More than a dozen people gathered here, including people of all grades, but the uniforms they wore were all from the mecha department.Among them, there are also a few Cheng Zhen acquaintances.Siares was talking softly with Leiber, while Inver stood alone in the corner, thinking about something.

Seeing Cheng Zhen approaching, the black-haired Vatican nodded to the human youth.

Cheng Zhen walked up to Inver.

"Senior Inver." Since the last team battle, Inver asked the black-haired boy to call him by his first name.However, Cheng Zhen refused to call him by his first name anyway, and always added an honorific title afterwards.

Among the group of people here at this time, Cheng Zhen chose a person he thought was the most reliable to ask. "So many people gathered here, did they all receive orders from Teacher Vickery?"

Inver nodded and looked into the training hall. "Instructor Vickery will come out in a while, and you will know what's going on then."

It seemed that everyone in the upper class referred to Vickery as instructor.Juinville said before that it was because when they were in the second grade, there was a training camp in charge of Vickery.During the training camp, everyone was used to addressing Vickery as the instructor, so this title has been used ever since.

After receiving a little explanation from Inver, Cheng Zhen nodded his head to express his understanding, and then stood beside him and waited quietly.

After a while, there was the sound of loud military boots stepping on the floor in the training hall. Everyone fell silent and looked towards the entrance of the training hall.

The red-haired teacher and another man appeared at the same time. The man Cheng Zhen had seen before was the laboratory staff who had done several physical examinations for him.

Vickery glanced at everyone, and said in a volume that everyone could hear.

"Today, I gathered all of you here just for one thing." He said, holding up an item in his hand.

A black card with the school emblem of Clemson College embroidered with silver metal thread. The dark and silver tone reveals a mysterious and noble atmosphere.

Vickery held up this black card and treated everyone humanely. "This is the identity card held by the participants of the Clemson Academy in the Battle of Klein. Afterwards, each of you will get one. After you get this identity card, it means that you will officially represent the The academy played."

Cheng Zhen is now sure that everyone here is indeed a participant in this battle of Klein.

"And I called you here this time, not only for this matter. A few days later, the Battle of Klein will officially begin, and the location of this battle has not yet been determined. Before that, all participating colleges Those who have to participate in the pre-war council."

Vickery said, his serious eyes swept over the faces of every student present.Cheng Zhen could feel the heaviness and responsibility in those eyes.

"Tomorrow, everyone must set off for the meeting place of this time—the core star field. The top ten colleges will gather there. At that time, each of you will represent Clemson College. Discredit. Got it!"

"Yes! Understood!" Everyone replied loudly, their voices were loud and powerful.

The core star field is the star field where the Interstellar General Council is located. Except for important tasks, non-indigenous people are not allowed to go there at will.In the eyes of all interstellar races, it is like a mysterious holy place.All of a sudden, everyone present became a little excited.To Vickery's question, he answered almost without thinking.

But Vickery was obviously not very satisfied, he glanced at the excited faces of the crowd.said in a cold voice. "I hope you will keep in mind my advice. For those who are too excited and complacent to do things that insult the reputation of the academy, they will be punished by disqualification from participating in the war. Do you understand?!"

"Yes!" Now, everyone answered with a serious face, and no one dared to be negligent.

Vickery finally nodded in satisfaction, and disbanded on the spot after everyone received their ID cards.

"Cheng Zhen, stay here for a while." The red-haired teacher called to stop the human boy who was about to leave.

Cheng Zhen stood where he was, watching everyone gradually disperse, and then Vickery led the white-robed man over.

"Are you in good health?" He asked Cheng Zhendao.

The black-haired boy replied respectfully. "It has basically recovered, teacher!"

Vickery looked at Cheng Zhen's healthy and ruddy complexion, and felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't help asking. "Did you encounter anything during your treatment over there this time?"

Cheng Zhen hesitated for a moment, but truthfully recounted everything he experienced after waking up.Some details are omitted in the middle, just to tell the final result.

"So, Rhine Pertutan agreed to your alliance request?" Vickery asked in surprise.

"Yes, teacher. But later I learned from Leiber that before I put forward the request for an alliance, he had already proposed to His Excellency the United Front Work Commander, and he got the acquiescence." So, knowing Cheng is really doing nothing. Under the circumstances, Rhine Bertutan not only did not give a reminder, but also seriously asked Cheng Zhen whether he had the strength to form an alliance with the Golden Clan.It is certain that the man must have done this on purpose.

Thinking about it now, Cheng Zhen still felt itchy and helpless.However, regarding the bet mentioned by Leiber, he did not mention it to Vickery.Because he was afraid that the red-haired teacher would be worried, Cheng Zhen concealed all the bet that if he lost the battle, he would be transferred to the general council by Rhine.

Even he himself didn't know why Leiber looked afraid of the general council.Will the "potentials" sent there be treated inhumanely?Not likely.But even without this bet, Cheng Zhen originally participated in the Battle of Klein with the heart of winning, but now there is another reason why he must win.

Recalling the "potential man", Cheng Zhen remembered that he had forgotten about it.And after belatedly telling Vickery, the red-haired teacher didn't seem so surprised, as if he knew that Cheng Zhen would have this advancement.

Vickery just asked. "What is the level of your mental ability now? Generally, after advanced, there will always be a breakthrough in one ability."

Cheng Zhen was dumbfounded. To be honest, there were too many things at that time, and he really didn't think of this.

Seeing the expression of the black-haired boy, Vickery sighed helplessly, turned around and spoke humanely to the side. "Al, you check him again."

The white-robed man, Al Babylon, took a deep breath and shrugged. "I knew it was not good for you to ask me to come." After speaking, he hooked his hands at Cheng Zhen. "Boy, come with me."

Cheng Zhen silently followed behind the white-robed man, thinking about meeting him three times, and finally heard the man's name from Vickery's teacher.Al, why does it sound familiar?

Before he could think about it, when he arrived at the laboratory building, he was so busy with a lot of tests that he didn't have time to think about other things.Finally, after finally waiting for the test to end, Cheng Zhen, like Vickery, stayed outside and waited for the result.

This is different from the past few times, the red-haired teacher told the results every time before, but this time Cheng Zhen stood outside the door waiting for the test results by himself.For a moment, my heart was filled with an inexplicable anxiety and tension.

"Pa—" the door of the testing room opened, and the white-robed man Al came out.

Seeing Cheng Zhen with a tense expression on his face, he smiled. "I didn't expect you to be nervous. I thought you were a monster like them."

Cheng Zhen was puzzled, and before he could speak, the red-haired teacher spoke first.

"Stop talking nonsense, what's the result?"

"The result." Al shook his head and sighed deliberately. "Before I thought there were enough perverts in this world, but I didn't expect there to be one more here. Well, although I thought he had the potential to become a pervert before."

Cheng Zhen was speechless. Could it be that "abnormal" is still a compliment in the mouth of the white-robed man?

Noticing Vickery's sharp gaze, Al raised his hand quickly. "Okay, okay. I'm not talking nonsense, I'll tell you the result now. According to my accurate judgment, Cheng Zhen not only 'opened his eyes' in the process of advancing, but also improved one of the five major abilities." As he spoke, he raised his hand The data version in his hand is humane to the two of them.

"Psychic power has broken through S-level, and several other abilities have also vaguely broken through. In short, this guy's current ability level is-two S-level abilities, A-level willpower and martial skills. As for endurance, he has finally improved to A-level Graded, congratulations."

Three A-level abilities and two S-level abilities.Such data can also be called outstanding among the mech pilots in the interstellar group.But there is still a gap with the emperor level. Everyone of those recognized perverts has at least three S-level abilities.Rhine Bertutan's practical abilities are all S rank except for his potential.

After getting the result, Vickery did not feel joy for Cheng Zhen, but looked at him with a heavy face.

"The specific levels of your five abilities, and the things that have advanced to become a 'potential', I hope you will not mention it to anyone."

Cheng Zhen was a little hesitant. What he thought was that if Misaqi and Cassia asked, would he also lie to these two people?

Understanding what the black-haired boy was hesitating, Vickery looked at him and said with a more emphatic tone. "Cheng Zhen, I hope you understand. If your current situation is known to the outside world, you may not be able to participate in the Battle of Klein anymore, and the people there will come here early to take you away."

"The people over there... the teacher is referring to the general council?" This was the second time someone mentioned this matter in front of him, Cheng Zhen raised his head and looked at the red-haired teacher seriously. "I know you are worried about me, but I don't want to keep in the dark and just accept the protection of others. Teacher Vickery, I hope you can tell me that once my current information is exposed, there will be What consequences?"

"...The will of the general council is almost impossible to disobey. If a 'potential person' is found, they will immediately bring it back to the core star field, and train this 'potential person' according to what they think is the 'correct way' .To be honest, it just became a tool for the superior to experiment." Vickery looked at the black-haired boy. "I don't want you to be treated like this."

Facing the red-haired teacher's sincere and worried eyes, Cheng Zhen nodded seriously. "I see, Master. I will protect myself."

Because all the participants will set off tomorrow, Vickery didn't want to stay with Cheng Zhen any longer, and just told him a few precautions before letting him leave.

After the black-haired boy left the laboratory building, Vickery and Al stood relatively silent for a long time.

"...Why are you bothering?" Al looked at the red-haired teacher who seemed extremely tired in recent days. "Even if he is protected like this now, as soon as the Klein War begins, he will no longer be able to hide the fact that he became a 'potential'. At that time, the General Council will still notice him."

Vickery silently stared at the direction in which the black-haired boy left, and spoke for a long time.

"No matter how long I can protect him, I will do my best."
