"I imagine you must be wondering why I'm your personal tutor in the holographic space."

Mingmei had just logged on on time according to the schedule when she saw that Chesil had already logged on and was standing there smiling at her.

I have a bad feeling about this.

"Um... I'm the one who caused you trouble, teacher."

Mingmei first feigned weakness, then secretly wondered how she had received Cheshire's "care".

Just because of his unlucky second brother?

"When you entered the school, your physical fitness level was only C and your mental strength was S. In fact, you were still a bit short of the standard to enter the special recruitment class."

Chesil's frankness surprised Mingmei somewhat, "However, with the joint recommendation letter from the former headmaster and several legion commanders, you can indeed come in."

Mingmei: "..."

Although she didn't know who the old principal or the legion commanders were, Mingmei understood what Chesil meant. Wasn't this a blatant admission that Mingmei got in through connections?

Seeing that Mingmei remained calm and composed after hearing this, Chesil suddenly burst out laughing.

Well, although Mingmei's expression was indeed very calm, the curious glint in her eyes immediately revealed that she was actually quite nervous.

Moreover, Mingmei couldn't help but panic even more after being laughed at by Cheryl.

What's even worse is when you get caught using connections and have no way to refute it!

"Um... I'll try my best..."

"Judging from the results alone, you didn't achieve the goal at the beginning. But, Mingmei, as I mentioned a couple of days ago, did you remember to check your physical condition again? Did you do that?"

"No... I plan to go out during my next break. There are also opportunities at school, but I've been a bit busy these past few days."

Hearing Mingmei's words, Ms. Cheshire nodded and said, "Well, when you're resting, you can go to a private hospital for a check-up. Actually, your potential is worth it for you to be admitted to the special recruitment class."

"Um?"

Mingmei was stunned. Didn't they say it wouldn't work?

Seeing the questioning look in Mingmei's eyes, Chesil continued, "I know you've only been awake for a short time, but do you know what your physical and mental levels were when you first woke up?"

Bright honestly shook his head at this point.

All she knew was that when she first woke up, she wasn't in good condition and remained in a daze for a long time, often lying in the medical pod.

“Double F. Your initial physical and mental condition was the worst.” Cheshire said, her eyes filled with amazement as she looked at Mingmei. “But in just one or two years, you’ve grown into what you are now. Some people might never improve that much in their entire lives. So, at the rate you’ve progressed, I really can’t imagine what you’ll be like after graduation!”

For this, Mingmei was truly grateful to her parents for preparing her for time travel by feeding her so many rare and precious herbs.

However, as Mingmei listened to Ms. Cheshire's praise of her and her description of her future as a female general, she really couldn't bear to shatter the other woman's fantasy.

Maybe she'll still be a nobody after graduation.

She's just here to get a diploma. Do you expect her to join the army and level up through various challenges?

Stop kidding me!

"How about I come with you to your next checkup during your next vacation?"

"Ah, no, no need." Faced with Ms. Chesil's sudden enthusiasm in the virtual space, Mingmei was a little stunned and couldn't handle it.

"It's okay, we're all family."

"But didn't my brother run away from his engagement...?"

Mingmei accidentally revealed this matter.

“It’s alright, he’ll have to marry me sooner or later—as long as he shows up.” Ms. Cheshire answered Mingmei’s words with a smile, though she gritted her teeth. “So, sooner or later, we’ll all be family.”

Mingmei: "..."

...

In the dormitory at night.

"Uncles, does anyone know anything about my second brother and Chesil?"

Mingmei looked at her two uncles in the video call. Both of them seemed to be in their offices. Mingmei suddenly felt that it was strange that she was the only one in her bedroom on her bed.

"Huh? Why are you gossiping about this?"

Yan Hui was puzzled. He pulled himself out of a pile of project proposals and looked up at Mingmei. "What, does Chesil want to find out Mei Qiu's whereabouts from you?"

"Um...no, I think she knows more about my second brother than I do. So, what's my second brother up to?"

“A sting operation, huh?” Ruan Xun said. He put down the documents in his hand, took off his glasses to rest for a moment, smiled and asked, “You should also know about your second brother’s glorious deeds over the years, right?”

"Uncle, when you say 'glorious deeds,' do you mean both good and bad?"

Unfortunately, when Mingmei searched online, she found that her second brother's reputation was indeed questionable.

Regarding her second brother's exploits in the fight against the Zerg, there's even a movie to prove it.

However, her private life and any scandals also attract a lot of attention. The most criticized thing is that she disappeared when she got engaged to Cheryl, and people are still criticizing her for that more than ten years.

"It's all the same, black and red are still red anyway."

Mingmei: "..." She had no answer to your question.

"Oh dear, why are you telling Meimei so much? Really, children shouldn't know so much."

At this moment, Yan Hui interrupted Ruan Xun and said, "By the way, I heard that your class is going to have an exchange program with students from other schools at the end of the semester?"
