back to Earth

"There seems to be something a little different about Clems today."

On the tallest building in the academy, the Tower of Bom Ai, a man with silver hair and silver eyes looked down at the entire academy through the isolation window.

The Tower of Bommay, also known as the Tower of War, is an absolute landmark in Clemson College.It was built in the era of Victor, the God of War, and symbolizes the resolute, brave, and bloody mech warriors on the battlefield.In the hearts of countless mecha students, the Tower of War is not only a building, but also a symbol of the unyielding spirit of mecha fighters who never flinch and never give up.

Beside the silver-haired man, the red-haired instructor stood silently, staring at the somewhat chaotic academy like him, and remained silent.

"What's the matter? Vickery, it's been a long time since I saw you, but you've become even more reticent." The silver-haired Amis laughed. "Could it be that as you get older, even your personality becomes like those old antiques?"

Vickery looked up at the smiling Amis, and said coldly. "Your Excellency Moyun Siluo, please pay attention to your words."

In the words, there was only deliberate alienation, and there was no respect for this one of the few emperor-level powerhouses in the interstellar world.

"It's really serious. I haven't seen you for so many years, don't you even give me some affection from old classmates? Vickery." Seemingly feeling sorry for this deliberate estrangement, Mo Yun, who is an emperor, sighed.

"This subordinate is just an ordinary teacher, and you are an insurmountable level with you as an emperor. How dare you ignore etiquette." The red-haired instructor didn't know how to hint at all, and still rigidly adhered to his identity.

Silver eyes stared at the red-haired instructor in front of him, something seemed to flicker in his eyes.Immediately, Mo Yun showed a somewhat cruel smile. "Indeed, as a 'loser', you no longer have the same level of identity as us."

"..." There seemed to be an invisible tremor in his body. Vickery just clenched his fists secretly for this harsh sentence, and did not give any refutation.He was waiting, waiting for more sharp and harsh words to come out of the mouth of his former companion.Just like what the Emperor of the Golden Clan did at that time.

"Did you think I would say that?"

However, all Vickery waited for was a playful chuckle.He raised his head in surprise, and saw that familiar face looking at him with a trace of understanding.

"I'm not that tough-mouthed guy like Rhine, Vickery." Mo Yun looked at his former companion in front of him and sighed. "Even if it's Rhine, he may not really see you that way in his heart. For so many years, what has stood between us is not the difference in status between us, don't you understand?"

The silver-haired Amis looked at Vickery and said slowly. "Even if you become a failure in their mouths, none of us really see you like this. And you set a shackle for yourself, so that you will always be trapped by the failure of the year. Don't be fascinated by inferiority and self-esteem Eyes. You are our partner not only because of the blood in your body, Vickery."

"..." Staring blankly at the silver-haired man in front of him, Vickery opened his mouth as if he was about to say something.However, the sudden sound of opening the door interrupted the secret conversation between the two.The only exit to the top of the tower was glowing, indicating that someone was approaching.

"It seems that the Lord has arrived." Slightly squinting his eyes and looking at the door, Mo Yun smiled lightly. "Let's wait until next time for the rest, Vickery."

The red-haired instructor was silent, and also looked at the door that was slowly opening.

The silver door opened gradually under the watchful eyes of the two. Behind the opened door, a young man with black hair and black eyes stood quietly.After seeing the people in the room clearly, a flash of surprise flashed across those black eyes, and then they returned to calm.

"Teacher Vickery." Walking in from the door, Cheng Zhen saluted the red-haired teacher whom he hadn't seen for a long time.Immediately, he glanced at the Amis who stood aside and smiled without saying a word.

Noticing the slight doubt in the black-haired boy's eyes, Vickery explained aloud. "This is the Emperor of the Silver Clan, Moyun Siluo. Cheng Zhen, it is this Your Excellency who wants to see you this time."

Emperor level? !Surprise flashed in his eyes, and Cheng Zhen immediately saluted Mo Yun beside him.

"Meet Your Excellency!"

"Ah."

With a chuckle, the emperor of the Silver Clan looked into Cheng Zhen's eyes, with a hint of banter that the black-haired boy couldn't understand.

"Even if they are biological brothers, the difference is really obvious." Said the Emperor Level of the Silver Clan.Seeing the growing doubts in Cheng Zhen's eyes, he seemed even happier.

"Your Excellency!" It wasn't until Vickery, who couldn't see clearly, reminded that Moyun put away his gradually rising joking heart, coughed lightly, and put on a serious expression in the next moment.

"Clems College Human Chief Cheng Zhen."

"Yes!"

Hearing an emperor call himself so solemnly, Cheng Zhen immediately replied respectfully.

"The reason I'm looking for you this time is because there is a task that will be entrusted to you." Mo Yun put on a serious expression, looking a little indifferent.Those cool-toned silver eyes looked like organic substances that did not belong to living things. "Given the difficulty of the task, you have the option to accept it or not."

As the only emperor in the interstellar world, you want to teach yourself a task?

Surprised in his heart, Cheng Zhen didn't reply immediately, but thought for a moment and said. "Excuse me, Your Excellency, may I inquire about the content of this mission in advance."

Looking at the cautious black-haired boy, with a flash of admiration in his silver eyes, Moyun Siluo said slowly. "You have this power. Then, I will explain the specific content of the mission in detail next. But, Cheng Zhen, once you hear it, no matter whether you choose to accept it or not, you must not disclose the inside information of the mission to anyone, and still It will be monitored by the core star field. Are you sure you still want to know?"

Unexpectedly, the so-called task would involve such a confidential content. Cheng Zhen was surprised, and his heart became a little more alert. He looked at the emperor on the opposite side, and asked again. "Can I confirm the nature of this mission?"

Nodding silently, Mo Yun signaled that he could ask.

"Does the task violate the morality of knights?" Cheng Zhen asked first as a follower of the chivalry spirit of Clemson College.

"No." Mo Yun replied.

"Does the mission violate the peace treaty of the various races?"

"No."

After confirming the general direction, Cheng Zhen finally spoke up, looked up at the silver-haired emperor, and said slowly. "So, does the mission go against my choice as a human being?"

"Oh?" Mo Yun asked slightly interested. "How to say?"

"Depart from the interests of human beings, betray one's own race, betray one's own compatriots. If this task involves this aspect, I can't accept it." Facing those silver eyes, the black-haired boy was calm and determined.

Looking at such a bright black-haired boy, Mo Yun pondered for a moment before making a sound. "I can only guarantee that this task will not go against your will."

"My heart?" This time, it was Cheng Zhen's turn to be confused.

The silver-haired emperor smiled slowly. "To protect what you want to protect, if you want to become a strong person with this mentality. Then, this mission will not betray your ideals. However, I hope you know." Mo Yun said with a dignified expression.

"Guarding is not ignorant protection. Sometimes in order to guard what you love, you just need to choose to give up some."

A dignified atmosphere filled the room, and Cheng Zhen fixedly looked at the emperor who said these words.In those silver eyes, all he saw was persistence and firmness, without any twinkle.He was sure that what Moyun Siluo said was true, not a joke to instigate himself.

Understanding the deep meaning contained in the last question and answer, Cheng Zhen clenched his fists, remained silent, and then said firmly.

"I accept."

……

A few hours later, the light at the top exit of the tower was turned on again, and the black-haired boy had disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

Looking away from the exit, Mo Yun, who was still immersed in the conversation just now, sighed softly. "He really doesn't look like a child. I didn't expect him to really choose to take on this task."

In this sentence, there seems to be regret, pity, and a little admiration.

Vickery walked up to him, also looking down. "He was a fighter, not a kid in the first place."

"But most people at this age don't have to bear such a heavy burden." In the field of vision, the figure of the black-haired boy appeared under the tower again.Mo Yun said softly. "Even us back then, I'm afraid we can't compare to him now."

After a moment of silence, Vickery said. "So, he must be different."

Not like me, and not like you.Cheng Zhen, this young man who has taken on a lot in the past and will take on more in the future, is destined to be different from anyone else in the world.It is also destined to become that unique.

With such an eye-catching figure, it's no wonder that even that usually indifferent person is attracted.Looking at Cheng Zhen's receding figure, Moyun Siluo sighed again.

"Rhein, this time I finally admit that your choice is correct."

This seemingly young human boy was chosen, and he was burdened with burdens that ordinary people could not imagine.Mo Yun couldn't help thinking in his heart, whether this was the test Rhine gave this human boy, or whether it was Rhine's trust in this boy.

An ordinary day in the universe, the fourth day of the second semester at Clemson College.

There is something special about this day in the history of Clemson.The students caused a small disturbance because of one person.However, after a few years, this turmoil will only become a joke in people's memories.

What no one knows is that this day is the beginning of changing the history of interstellar and human beings.Just because of a small agreement.

On this day, Rhine's troops also arrived at the Algar defense line and officially began to fight against foreign enemies.

The threads of fate are intertwined, and the universe is about to set off a catastrophe.
