"Hey! Human?!"

"Have you heard? It turned out to be human!?

"Well... I just got the news too."

A few hours after the Clemson Academy's participating teams arrived in the core star field, a rumor spread like flying among the other academies.

I don't know where the news came from. It is said that the representatives of the Far East Academy this time are all human beings!

When Cheng Zhen heard the news, he had just put down his luggage in the assigned room.

At first hearing, the black-haired boy raised his head in surprise and looked at the person who conveyed the news to him.

"Liber, have you confirmed that this is true?"

The Chief of the Golden Clan nodded. "It's the news from the airport, so it should be accurate. Anyway, you can verify it with your own eyes when the people from the Far East Academy arrive here."

"What do you think?" Leiber looked at Cheng Zhen and asked.

Cheng Zhen raised his eyes to look at the questioner, his black eyes were calm and calm. "I?"

"I would think you wanted to meet them." Unable to understand the black-haired boy's mind, Leiber could only express his own guesses.

Cheng Zhen chuckled. "Meet us, we will always meet at the Council." The implication in the words was that he had no intention of meeting the humans from the Far East first.

Leiber looked at him silently for a while, then opened the door and walked out.

In the room where he was the only one left, Cheng Zhen stood for a while, then sat on a seat beside the table.In my mind, I don't want to be so calm on the surface.

The compatriots from the Far East are all human beings participating in the battle.These sudden news made Cheng Zhen unprepared for a moment, and his mind was blank at that moment.

happy?joy?Confuse.

There is only doubt in my heart.According to the information obtained by Cheng Zhen about the Battle of Klein over the years, the Far East Academy, like other students, sent teams of various races to participate in the battle every time.And this time, they were all human?

What is the reason.

Looking out the window, the starry sky outside the protective cover was as deep as ever, and Cheng Zhen remembered the agreement he had made with Rhine Bertutin.I always feel that this Klein battle will be more tortuous than imagined.

Outside the residential area of ​​the top ten colleges, several young men in light gray uniforms had just arrived.

"Oh my god! This is the first time I've seen such a gorgeous gate!" A small boy who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old looked up at the huge black gate in the residential area, because of its huge size and gorgeous decoration And marvel.The look of looking around was a little funny, and the people who looked at them secretly couldn't help but chuckle.

"Shut up, Hongji, you're so embarrassing." The blue-haired boy standing beside him said dissatisfied. "I don't want to be implicated by your idiotic words."

"What! I'm not as pretentious as Xiao Ming and you. What's wrong with expressing my feelings?" The boy named Hongji protested.

Zhu Ming frowned. "What are you calling me?"

"Hey, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming!" After shouting many times in a row, Hongji smiled maliciously, watching Zhu Ming's face turn darker and darker, almost as big as the universe above his head.

Zhu Ming held back his anger and glanced at him. "Xiaohong, Xiaoji, which of these two names do you prefer? Or should I just call you Hongjili."

The most unbearable to have his name called out like this, Hongji, who couldn't bear his temper, almost jumped up and rushed towards him, completely forgetting that he used someone else's name to start the brush first.

"Okay, both of you, please be quiet." A strong man stretched out his hand, holding one at the same time, and lifted the two teenagers into the door.Holding two puberty boys in one hand, this tall and strong man didn't feel strenuous at all.It wasn't until they both slipped through the door that they were put down.

"You two are the youngest, and I will take care of them. I don't want any troubles outside, understand?" The tall man with a western appearance looked down at the two teenagers, with a smile on his lips Smiling, but what he said made people shudder down the back. "Who dares to cause trouble for me, be careful when I go back to the academy and take good care of him, understand?"

"Understood, boss!" Hongji hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.

Zhu Ming was reluctant, but under the threat of the tall man's fist, he could only speak reluctantly. "……clear."

"Okay." The brown-haired young man who had been walking in the front turned his head and looked at the people behind him with a slight smile. "Isado, you don't have to worry about them being so strict. You will inevitably feel excited when you go out for the first time. As long as you don't make too much noise, it's within the understandable range."

"It's because you are always spoiling these two boys that they will always be lawless." The only woman in the team turned her head and said dissatisfied.The bundled black ponytail swayed slightly as she turned her head.

"Laya, too strict discipline is not conducive to the growth of teenagers." Smiling and waving his hands, the brown-haired youth continued to lead his companions to the interior of the residential area.Suddenly, as if remembering something, he patted his head and said. "Ah, speaking of which, first of all, we need to find the person in charge here and report. Well, where is the report office? Map, map..."

After turning around on his body for a long time, he didn't turn out the map until he was sweating profusely. The brown-haired young man could only helplessly raise his head, shrugged his shoulders and said to everyone with an innocent expression. "I'm really sorry, today's luck seems to be a bit unfavorable, and the map seems to have disappeared."

"Didn't you throw it on it when you left the ship?" Someone complained.

Seeing that all your companions are familiar with it, they have long been accustomed to it.The last bit of guilt in the brunette youth's heart dissipated with the wind, he smiled heartily, and walked forward with big strides. "Hey, since it's destined to be lost, there's nothing I can do about it. God must want to use this to let us have a romantic encounter! Find someone to ask for directions."

"I said, you definitely lost the map."

Looking at the captain who pretended not to hear, Zhu Ming could only sigh helplessly.Weakly follow at the end of the line.

Ah, really, why did the headmaster send us to join the battle? It's not reliable at all.The blue-haired boy looked at his companions in front of him, especially a certain brown-haired captain who was smiling cheerfully, and felt melancholy again.

After walking a few steps, he saw a figure in front of him.

"I've found someone who can ask me the way."

Seeing the black figure in front of him, the brown-haired young man quickly stepped forward and called out to stop him. "Hello, may I excuse you?"

Hearing the sound, the person in front turned around with doubts on his face.

The brunette youth smiled softly. "We are a team that has just arrived in the residential area, and we want to report to the registration office first. Excuse me, can you help me guide the way?"

"...Are you from the Far East Academy?" the black-haired boy who was called out asked.

"Yes, I am Sean, the captain of the participating team of the Far East Academy, and this is my partner." Sean introduced to the visitors.The few people behind nodded to the black-haired boy who looked over.

"My name is Cheng Zhen." The black-haired boy smiled back. "I just went to the registration office, and I can take you there now."

"Thank you very much, I really trouble you."

Seeing Sean, who was walking in the front, and the black-haired boy having a happy conversation, Hongji whispered to the other people. "Is this a 'fated encounter'?"

The tall Isado shook his head. "Who knows?"

"Hey, I see that person's appearance and temperament. Could it be that he is from the Vaer tribe?" Unable to restrain the curiosity in his heart, Hongji secretly looked at the black-haired boy walking beside Sean from time to time. "It doesn't look a few years older than me, or is it because the people of the Vaer tribe are all tender?"

"No, it's human." Laya pushed back her glasses and replied seriously.For a moment, the three people around him looked at each other in surprise, and the ponytail girl explained. "Don't think that he is a Vail just because of his appearance. You must know that there are also appearances of this level among human beings."

"Like our idiot captain?" Zhu Ming mocked lightly.

"Sean just likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. If you really treat him as a fool, you will suffer." Laya reminded, and then said. "But sometimes even I can't tell whether he is a pig or a tiger. Could it be both?"

The voices of the people behind were not low at all, and Sean and Cheng Zhen, who were walking in front, undoubtedly heard it.Facing the ridicule of his teammates, the brunette youth could only laugh helplessly.Cheng Zhen glanced at him. "It seems that you have a very good relationship."

Sean nodded. "They're like my brothers and sisters."

There is deep warmth and care in the words, and the listener can't help but be overwhelmed by this emotion.

The black-haired boy smiled softly.This kind of sincere friendship between compatriots made him a little envious.

Walking with a group of people in the residential area, during the period, people who occasionally pass by will always look at each other in surprise.It's as if they regard this group of people as rare treasures.

Feeling this kind of differential treatment, Sean couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Is it really so rare for a team of all humans to participate in the battle? Since landing at the airport, people have been looking at it like this."

"Don't pay attention to other people." Cheng Zhen gave his experience while walking. "As long as you use your strength to break the delusion of these people, then they will have nothing to say."

Hearing this, Sean looked up at him, a strange light flashed in his eyes.However, looking at the handsome side face of the black-haired boy, he still didn't say anything after all.

Taking the group of people from Jidong to the report office, Cheng Zhen said goodbye to several people and left.

Looking at the back of the black-haired boy walking away silently, Hongji couldn't help but leaned forward and asked. "Sean, have you asked, is he human? Is he also from the top ten colleges?"

Sean turned his head, looked at the few people who were also curious, and said with a mysterious smile. "It's also the first time I've seen him in person, and I didn't expect him to be far more approachable than I imagined."

"Hey?! You know him?"

The brunette youth shook his head and smiled profoundly. "As I said, it's also the first time I've seen him. But before I came here, I've checked some information about him."

Zhu Ming looked at the direction Cheng Zhen left, thoughtfully.On the other hand, Hongji was still asking persistently. "Who is it? Sean, don't hide your secrets, tell me directly! Please! Don't let me die because of burning curiosity!"

"Well, so in order to prevent the lovely Hongji from dying because of this, I can only say it." Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Sean spoke slowly, making a determined appearance.

"The man just now, Cheng Zhen, is the only human mech pilot in the Clemson Academy participating in this battle."

He is also the only human among the Silver Knights.

On the other side, I don't know that these compatriots from the Far East are discussing their own affairs.Cheng Zhen was troubled by another trouble.

Not long after he walked out of the reporting office, he was surrounded by a group of people.

Looking at the provocative expressions of those people and the uniforms they were wearing, the black-haired boy couldn't help but sigh for his luck.How could he meet this group of people without wearing that conspicuous combat uniform?

Barker College, an old friend of Clems.

"Hey, I heard that you are the human representative of Clemson's team this time? You actually sent human students to participate in the battle, you guy, you are here to do logistics, right? Haha."

Hearing the man's mocking tone, Cheng Zhen slowly raised his head, looking directly at him with his dark eyes.Not angry or angry, but a slight arc was raised at the corner of the mouth.

"Allow me to introduce myself to you first. Cheng Zhen, a first-year student at Clemson College, a fighter mech pilot."
