As Gu Chengnan packed up early in the morning, he bid farewell to his parents and embarked on the journey to the Phisotora Military Academy all by himself.
He was riding the Line 17 airborne hovercar, which, although fast, still had a significant difference compared to traveling by spaceship.
When the spaceship reaches the edge of space, it must do space jumps. This leads people to feel weightless, which is quite uncomfortable.
Gu Chengnan remembered that Uncle Koya once took him to ride in a spaceship, he felt very fascinated but also felt dizzy.
So Koya called over a machine waiter to take his order, ordering a bottle of beverage and some pastries.
After the ship sailed away from the Sandera star, it flew along the designated course to another planet.
After Gu Chengnan finished eating, he leaned against the car window, eagerly gazing at the vast and dazzling Milky Way.
In the ever-changing universe, as a star fades away, a new generation of stars is born. Alongside this, more and more habitable planets are evolving, making the universe no longer cold and desolate.
In a more advanced civilization, humans have become proficient in the technology of nuclear fusion, capable of harnessing the heat energy generated by nuclear fusion and applying it in industrial production.
Not long after, a female voice came through the speaker on the spaceship: "Attention passengers, the spaceship will soon initiate a spatial jump. The next destination is the Normore Transit Station."
Gu Chengnan immediately sat back in his seat. He waited until the jump was over before Uncle Koya taught him how to use his spiritual power to alleviate the discomfort caused by his body.
This time, he ordered the same pastry and drink again, just like the taste he remembered.
Pastries were something he usually refrained from eating, but today he was feeling happy. To his surprise, Uncle Koya had transferred over 5,000 credits to him. Combined with the 2,000 credits his parents had given him, he would have enough to last him for more than half a year.
During the long three-hour journey, Gu Chengnan did not feel bored at all. He couldn't help but look forward to his future life in the military academy.
But for some reason, he inexplicably thought of that Alpha, how he held him and kissed him, and how the slightly calloused hands gently touched the sensitive parts of his body. A faint blush appeared on his ears.
After such a long time, his body had long metabolized the scent that belonged to that Alpha. As Gu Chengnan subconsciously touched the glands at the back of his neck, he still hoped for a chance to see that person again.
In the car, he had made a friend, who was a Beta, his name was Lu Cheng, also a freshman at the Phisotora Military Academy.
On the way, they chatted happily, and Lu Cheng did not look down on him just because he was born in a slum.
When it came to mechas, they always had endless topics to discuss. When Lu Cheng heard that he had also chosen mecha maintenance, he was pretty surprised. "I'm also in the mecha maintenance department, maybe we might even be in the same class," he said.
Gu Chengnan realized that the college's class assignment was likely not only based on the entrance exam scores of new students but also took into account the results of physical fitness tests and mental strength assessments.
"I'm worried that if I fail the physical fitness test, I might get expelled."
Lu Cheng patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, my cousin is an upperclassman in that school. He happens to be in charge of the physical fitness tests for the freshmen. I can ask him to go easy on you."
"Really? Is it true?" Gu Chengnan's eyes lit up, exclaiming with delight.
"Of course, leave it to me. I guarantee that you will pass smoothly."
Unfortunately, the truth proves that Lu Cheng is unreliable.
As Gu Chengnan had expected, his physical fitness test score did indeed fail to meet the passing standards. However, in the mental strength instrument detection, his mental power reached a staggering 175 points.
It is rare for a Beta to possess such a powerful spiritual strength, the average range for most students is between 110 and 150. As for other outstanding Alphas, their spiritual strength may exceed 180 in some rare cases.
The teacher who conducted the mental power test for Gu Chengnan was somewhat surprised. He called Gu Chengnan over and asked him to do another test. This time, it was still 175 points.
The old teacher filled in the data and handed it to Gu Chengnan. "Next one, get ready."
This had successfully caught the attention of His Highness Mason, who was standing in the back row.
Mai Jinsen, to fit into the collective, concealed his true identity. As a result, many students of the same age didn't recognize him, but due to his remarkably outstanding appearance, he still managed to cause quite a stir.
Mai Jinsen squinted his eyes and looked at the thin figure in front of him, his cold gaze fixated on the prey he desired.
