back to Earth

The preparatory class is not counted as a formal student, but an outstanding student recruited in advance.

When the newly admitted first-year students just entered the second semester, the students of the preparatory class who had just been promoted from the junior college also started their classes ahead of schedule.Although they have to wait until the next year to be counted as regular students, they have the same rights as other students in the school during the preparatory class.

The preparatory class of Clemson College officially started in the third month after the second semester started, which was much later than other colleges.Therefore, Clemson College now has four grades, the preparatory class, and the first, second and third grades.

"Hey, there seem to be a lot more humans in this year's preparatory students."

In the student cafeteria of the Clemson students, Misaki looked at the immature prep students and sighed.

Cassia, who is also human, glanced at him. "What, do you have an opinion?" He was holding a lunch for two in his hand, looking down at Misaqi.

"No! No! I'm just admiring, just admiring!" Seeing that his lunch was in the hands of others, Misaqi dared not say more, and said with a flattering smile. "I just want to say that the power of idols is infinite and unexpected!" His words were loud enough to attract the attention of many people.

With a click, he put down the dinner plate, and Cassia sat next to his roommate. "Could you please be quiet and not be so obtrusive!"

Misaqi, who took back his lunch, hurriedly protected the plate and said. "Just to be honest, how many of these newly enrolled humans are not here for Cheng Zhen? Here, look at that little brown-haired guy just now, he has looked this way for the fifth time!"

Cassia couldn't help looking around, and sure enough, she saw a brown-haired human teenager looking at them furtively.As soon as he caught Cassia's sight, he immediately retracted his head, pretending to chat with the people around him as if nothing had happened.

Is this the first time today?Cassia couldn't help but sigh.

Since these human preparatory students entered school, they have inquired about Cheng Zhen many times.However, I don't know why, the past few months have been really elusive, not only rarely appear in the classroom, even they rarely see him.

Even so, there are obviously not a few people who have the idea that they can see Cheng Zhen by getting close to Cassia and Misaki.

Ever since they found it impossible to catch the black-haired boy at the gate of the first-year mecha department, those students who were obsessed with Cheng Zhen turned their attention to Misaqi and Cassia.As we all know, the two of them are Cheng Zhen's few friends.As long as you pay attention to these two people, there is always a chance to meet the black-haired boy.People with this kind of thinking diverted their attention one after another, and began to circle around Cheng Zhen's two friends.

Thinking of this, Misaki and Cassia glanced at each other and couldn't help but sighed deeply.They really have had enough of this kind of attention-grabbing life!However, the culprit still did not show up for a long time, and he didn't know where he went.

"You two...why are you sighing?"

A familiar voice came from above, the two immediately looked up and saw the familiar black figure.Standing by the table, Cheng Zhen looked at his two friends with a refreshing smile.

"You bastard, where are you going these days—" Misaqi jumped up, and was about to ask loudly, when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.Looking around, I realized that the noisy college restaurant had quieted down at some point.Everyone, either sneaky or aboveboard, was sizing up the elusive human chief.

It was still Cassia who reacted quickly, he stepped forward and pulled Chengzhen, and led him out of the restaurant. "Go out and talk."

"Hey! You two! Wait for me!"

Misaqi looked at the backs of the two as they left, looked at the untouched lunch on the table, and finally made a difficult choice and strode out.

In a remote corner of the college, Cheng Zhen finally heard the reason of the incident from the two of them.Even if he was as calm as him, he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.

"They're looking for me? Is there a reason?"

Obviously, the chief lord couldn't recover from his idol's service for a while.

"The reason? Probably a curiosity about the rumored character."

Misaki analyzed vividly. "This kind of curiosity about famous people is actually quite normal. However, the strange thing is that you have been disappearing for the past few months, making it impossible for those who want to see you to get what they want. Then with As time goes by, their curiosity and sense of mystery towards you have gradually increased. At this point, it is no longer something that can be resolved just by meeting you."

For Misaqi's methodical analysis, Cheng Zhen couldn't help feeling a headache.He thought of the inexplicable chase on the day he just returned to school, and he felt even more troubled for a while.

"Speaking of which, what on earth have you been up to these days? You always disappear." Misaqi complained.Cassia on the side also cast a questioning look.

Cheng Zhen smiled at his friend's question. "It's just some extra training, go to Instructor Vickery." In order not to believe the two friends, he also brought out witnesses. "Not only me, Leiber also went to training together."

"It's extra training again." Misaki sighed, unavoidably a little tasteless. "Elite is different. They always make small mistakes."

Cassia gave him a white look. "Go and drive if you have the ability, and make sarcastic remarks here."

"I...as a great intelligence officer in the future, I don't need others to help me! I cultivated my sense of intelligence!" Misaqi retorted angrily.

For his sophistry, Cassia gave an indifferent shrug. "Whatever you say, Your Excellency the Great Intelligence Officer." This kind of indifferent and ignoring attitude always makes people more angry.

What's more, Misaki's character that burns at a single point.

"You stinky boy!"

Seeing the two friends arguing again, Cheng Zhen couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief while being amused.The subject moved away, and finally no longer revolved around his recent mysterious disappearance.At the same time, looking at the two friends who were worried about him, Cheng Zhenxin felt a little guilty.

What he said just now is actually not entirely true.In the past few months, apart from attending the extra training with Vickery's instructors, there are actually more important things to do...

It's just this matter, but I can't tell anyone.

Looking at the time on Shuguang's watch, Cheng Zhen came to his senses.

"Sorry, Misaki, Cassia, the time agreed with Teacher Vickery is up, I have to go first!"

"Go, go!" Busy arguing with Cassia, Misaki replied absent-mindedly.

With a wave of his hand, Cheng Zhen had trotted away.

"By the way, Misaqi, if you want to make a fuss, you can come to me, and I will seriously help you with fighting training! Your fighting skills really need to be practiced." Smiling and walking away, Cheng Zhen could only hear Misaqi's growling from embarrassment behind him.

After leaving the two friends who had finally met, Cheng Zhen did not go to the training hall in the academy.He first returned to the Chief White Hall, and when he came out, he had already changed into his academy uniform and was only wearing ordinary clothes.

Along the way, he avoided the crowded avenues and only walked along the trails, which looked like he was deliberately hiding his whereabouts.

After 15 minutes, Cheng Zhen finally arrived at the agreed place.

There, the red-haired instructor was already waiting by the side.

"Teacher!" Cheng Zhen trotted over, while taking the items Vickery handed over.

A piece of black metal, and a bottle of potion filled with unknown contents.

"This time I asked you for a week's vacation," Vickery said. "During the week, you can spend as much time as possible outside. If there is an accident, please contact Your Excellency Moyun."

"Yes!" After receiving the items, Cheng Zhen followed Vickery's instructions and stepped onto a small flying car.

Vickery, who was driving the flying car, didn't speak any more along the way, but just focused on driving.Half an hour later, the two finally arrived at their destination - a remote airport outside the college.

There, a small spaceship is parked quietly.

Cheng Zhen jumped out of the car, but his appearance at this time was quite different from his appearance in the academy.The eye-catching black hair and black eyes turned golden brown and blue, and the tips of the ears were slightly elongated and tapered.The age also suddenly seemed to be a few years older, and she no longer looked so young.Handsome and calm, with a special charm belonging to the Vail tribe.

Now Cheng Zhen's appearance looks exactly like a young Vatican, a branch of human beings.

Gals Vanner, that was the name he now used for his appearance.An interstellar wandering mech pilot, and a new mercenary who has gained fame in recent months.

"Remember your mission." Watching Cheng Zhen walking towards the small spaceship, Vickery instructed in a deep voice behind him.

Cheng Zhen, no, Gals Vanna turned around and showed a somewhat arrogant smile.It doesn't belong to Cheng Zhen, it only belongs to Gals Vanner's wanton smile.

"I know what I'm doing!"

After waving his hand and saying goodbye, the young Vails stepped onto the spaceship.

It wasn't until the starburst of the spaceship lifted off disappeared in his eyes that Vickery looked back and drove away in the flying car.

At this moment, the world temporarily lost a human youth, and there was an unruly Van Er youth.

Wandering mech pilots, a special species.They do not belong to any force and are not attached to any race.Nor do they divide ethnic groups by race, nor do they divide classes by rights.

This is a special group, originally composed of a group of mech pilots who retired from the army, secretly accepting commissions from all over the interstellar to complete tasks that ordinary people cannot complete.Later, some mecha pilots who were not accepted by their own race, and some defected mecha pilots, also gradually joined this group.

Mercenaries of interstellar exile, as those who know of their existence call them.They became a different kind in the interstellar world, separated from the forces, and maintained their existence by accepting the entrustment of the outside world.

Because of the special strength of this group of people and their concealment, even the Interstellar General Council sometimes secretly entrusts some tasks that cannot be made public to these people.After all, there are some things that cannot always be solved by the power of the light, and darkness is his way of survival.

Therefore, although the existence of these mercenaries has not been officially recognized, they have been able to continue.In the current interstellar world, there are almost two to three thousand wandering mech pilots, and their strength is also uneven.

The Catedo galaxy on the edge of the interstellar system has always been the base camp of mercenaries because it is far away from the core star field and out of the control of the Interstellar General Council.

Here, there are secret commissions from all walks of life in the interstellar world, as well as wandering mech pilots with various backgrounds.This is a place that is not governed by rules, and the only thing that can convince people is power.For another group of people, the unfettered land of Cattodo has become a paradise.

As usual, on the commission release day once a week, in the mercenary halls all over Kato, the latest commissions will appear on the registration light screens one by one.The entrustment with grades and rewards is marked, so that mercenaries can freely choose according to their strength.

Suddenly, the announcement of a commission caused quite a commotion from the crowd.Even people who didn't look at the light screen at first followed the surprised eyes of the people around them.

The red font indicates that this is an entrustment without geographical restrictions. This entrustment is issued in all mercenary halls in Katodo at the same time, and there is no limit to the number of people who can accept the entrustment.But this is not the main reason for people's surprise. What is even more surprising is the content of this red commission.

【Explore the ancient land

I got a map of the ancient star field by accident, and the star map shows a very strange star field that has never been explored.Interested parties are now being recruited to join this search.

Publisher: Red A]

In just a few lines, a shocking message was revealed.

The map of the ancient star field, a strange and unexplored star field!The harvest of this kind of star field exploration is unpredictable.Maybe it's dying in a strange place with nothing to gain, maybe it's becoming a famous star in the interstellar, and the wealth is inexhaustible.

For all mercenaries, this is a temptation with both danger and opportunity.

While most people were still shocked by the appearance of this entrustment, some forerunners were quietly preparing to take over this entrustment.Opportunities never wait for people.

"Take this commission."

In the mercenary hall somewhere in Quattro, a young voice awakened the person in charge of the entrustment who was also in a daze.

The handover person who came back to his senses raised his head and looked into a pair of deep blue eyes.The handsome face, indifferent eyes, and sharp and slender ears symbolize the identity of the person in front of him.

"Yes, yes! Please show your mercenary certificate." The handover person responded quickly.

The silent young man of the Van Er tribe handed over a black metal object, and the handover person took it and brushed it on the special instrument.

"Di-"

The mercenary's name was displayed on the fluorescent blue screen.

Gals Vanner.
