Military academy classmates

"Good morning, little blackie~"

"Get lost! You're the dark one!"

In front of the huge gate of the Mousse Military Academy, Xiwen bumped into Haydn and flirted with him as usual. The two of them bickered as they walked to class together.

"Huh?" The empty classroom made the two of them stunned for a moment, and then Haydn saw the notice in the corner of the blackboard: This military theory class is outside the classroom, please gather in the rehearsal room.

"Ah! We're finally in the outer hall!" Xiwen said happily, "Come on, let's go to the rehearsal room!"

"Oh." Haydn responded, but his thoughts had already turned to another place.

After Xi Ze and Yu Sheng left, although they reported to me once that they were safe, no matter how much I tried to contact them, there was no news from them.

Haydn had initially tried to comfort himself, believing the two had found a safe place to hide. But soon after, he saw a wanted notice on the interstellar internet from the United Interstellar: a galactic search for Blue Beast Bell and Blue Beast Caesar. They also posted pictures of the bodies of the interstellar humans they had killed. Even with the censored images, one could still see the rivers of blood.

This wanted message undoubtedly caused an explosion on the interstellar network. Countless netizens left messages under this news and all the comments that were pushed to the top of the hot comments were one-sidedly condemning the Blue Beast.

"Haha, I let you be the most beloved pet in the universe all day long, licking you all. SB Blue Beast fans, are you embarrassed?"

"A beast is a beast. No matter how precious a beast is, it should be punished if it harms humans. Support the United Star!"

"This is horrifying! These two blue beasts look so weak, yet they were able to kill so many people. Their owner failed to supervise them properly and should be punished by law!"

“…”

Haydn felt uncomfortable when he thought of these hot comments with hundreds of billions of likes. What made him even more worried was that he still couldn't contact Yu Sheng and Xize, and Gary, who used to meet him frequently, was also nowhere to be found.

Because of his poor condition, Haydn failed many theory papers in the final exam that semester and was ordered to retake the course in the next grade, including this military theory course. Haydn didn't mind, as the military theory teacher was Randy, and retaking the course gave him more opportunities to interact with Randy.

Haydn knew that Yu Sheng Xi Ze should be a member of the same mysterious organization as Gary Randy, and now that the other three have lost contact, his only way is to find Randy and ask him clearly.

For several months, Haydn went to Randy's office every day to wait for him, but he was almost always disappointed. Even when he caught Randy giving them a military theory class, he could not catch him because Randy disappeared without a trace after class.

Hayden realized belatedly that Randy was deliberately avoiding him.

"Hey, don't be distracted! Teacher Randy is here!" Xiwen's voice brought Haydn's thoughts back to the classroom. Haydn looked up and met Randy's meaningful eyes. Before he could look into it, Randy looked away.

A virtual star chart unfolded in the center of the hall, with planets of all sizes orbiting according to real trajectories. Randy pointed his slender finger at a khaki planet at the very edge. "This is Gulunsi, the battlefield of the 'Battle of Gulunsi'..."

The class was a lot of fun. Randy first explained the famous battle, analyzing its tactics and strategies. Then, using a virtual astrolabe, he had everyone split into two camps and decide how to deploy their forces and attack. Everyone was eager to fight, but Hayden was the only one who kept staring at Randy, his mind wandering.

Randy also noticed Haydn's unwavering gaze, turned his back, and sighed softly from an angle where no one could see.

After class, Randy said, "Student Hayden Vijay, come to my office for a moment."

Haydn snapped into focus, met Randy's gaze, and nodded quickly, "Yes! Teacher Randy!" Randy was looking for him, could it be about Qiuqiu and Caesar? Haydn wondered anxiously.

"Hei Pi'er, Hei Pi'er~" Xiwen patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "What did Teacher Randy call you for? Tell me!"

"I don't know either!" Haydn paused and looked at Xiwen, who was smiling. "No, this is not like you. You don't usually gossip!"

Xiwen's expression froze, and then he punched Haydn on the shoulder, "Are you still a brother?"

"..." Haydn swallowed hard, "Yes?"

"So, will you help your brother to chase a man?"

"..." Haydn suddenly realized, "Ah, so you like Lan... Um!" Before Di could even utter the word, Haydn's mouth was firmly pressed by Xiwen. Xiwen's face flushed red, and he put his mouth close to Haydn's ear, "Don't say it out loud!"

"Hey, look at Haydn and Xiwen~" The classmates gathered in twos and threes, whispering, "The only goddess in our class is going to be won by Haydn, a silly boy~"

"I've noticed they're going in that direction for a long time! Ever since Redus transferred to another school, Xiwen and Haydn have been inseparable!"

"Hehe, actually they are quite a match..."

The two protagonists being discussed did not realize that they had been imagined as a couple. After Sivan unilaterally decided that Haydn would help him pursue Randy, Haydn had no choice but to go to Randy's office with the task assigned to him by Sivan.

"Come in." Randy called out when he heard the knock on the door.

"Teacher Randy!" Haydn rushed to Randy as soon as he entered the room, "Are you going to tell me about Qiuqiu and Xi..."

"Hush!" Randy reluctantly interrupted Haydn's anxious expression. He walked to the office door and closed it, then walked back and said to Haydn, "Don't worry. Yu Sheng and Caesar are safe now."

Haydn breathed a sigh of relief, then softened his tone and pulled a chair to sit down. "Teacher Randy, I'm really worried about them. Why didn't they contact me? Are they having any difficulties?"

"They're afraid the United Interstellar Alliance will find out about your movements and implicate you," Randy explained. "Even I only contacted Caesar yesterday."

"Where is Caesar now?" Haydn's eyes lit up. "I know Qiuqiu is on Wenxing because the United Stars asked the Emperor of Wenxing for him, but I never knew where Caesar went."

"Cizen is in Moss Palace now." Randy said.

Haydn's expression changed instantly. Moss's evil face and Caesar's bruised body appeared in his mind, causing him to stand up from his chair anxiously. "Caesar was captured by that scum? Damn it! I have to get to Moss Palace!"

After saying that, he actually ran out.

Randy grabbed him back helplessly and said, "Haydn, I came to you this time because Caesar asked me to. He will send someone to take you to meet him at Moss Palace."

"Ah?" Haydn was stunned. "Moss will let him out?"

"...I don't know either, but from what Caesar said, Moss will no longer restrict his freedom." Randy could only explain to Hayden bit by bit, "Caesar is wanted by the United Interstellar. Currently, only Moss has the ability to protect Caesar, so Caesar can't leave Moss Palace."

"Yes." Haydn nodded. "When do we leave? Who will take me? How can he find me?"

"Just go on with your life as usual," Randy said. "We'll make arrangements. Just wait."

"Then, what about Yu Sheng?" Haydn asked eagerly, "Will Yu Sheng also go to the Moss Palace to meet us?"

"No." Seeing the obvious disappointment in Haydn's eyes, Randy added, "Yusheng is doing well now. Don't worry, he will reunite with you sooner or later."

Knowing that both Nishizawa and Yu Sheng were fine, and that he would be able to see Nishizawa soon, Haydn walked out of the office with a lighter step. As soon as he left the office building, he saw Xiwen waiting there.

“…”I seem to have forgotten something?

Seeing Xiwen jogging towards him with a beautiful smile, Haydn's scalp tingled and he had the urge to run away. But when he thought about the fact that they were in the same class and lived in the same community, they would see each other every day, so it would be useless to run away!

"So what?" Xiwen's eyes sparkled. "Have you asked Randy if he would accept private lessons?"

"Uh..." Haydn didn't ask at all, but he remembered that there was a rule at the Mousse Military Academy that teachers were not allowed to take private jobs. Those who violated the rule would be expelled, so he said, "He won't accept it."

Xiwen sighed in disappointment. "What should I do? I can't just rush into his office and ask him, 'Teacher, what type of girls do you like?' That would be too obvious."

"Hey, how about this!" Xiwen's eyes suddenly lit up, "How about you help me test it out and see if Teacher Randy likes Blue Beasts? He should like them... Everyone in the interstellar world loves Blue Beasts... Oh, but the previous Blue Beast murder case has left everyone with a grudge..."

"Why would I test this?" Haydn frowned. "Does it have anything to do with your liking for Teacher Randy?"

"It does matter!" Xiwen pinched his waist and smiled smugly. "You don't understand this, do you? My uncle has a blue beast. If Mr. Randy likes the blue beast, I can take him to my uncle's house to see the blue beast! He can even have close contact with the blue beast! This will create an opportunity for me to get along with Mr. Randy, and I can also win his favor!"

Haydn was genuinely surprised. Xiwen's uncle actually had a blue beast? Xiwen looked carefree, not at all like a noble lady. Could she actually be the niece of Duke Nanso?!

"Okay, I'll ask for you." Because of Yu Sheng and Caesar, Haydn was very sensitive to the word "blue beast". As soon as he responded, Xiwen's arm was hung around his neck, almost kidnapping him. Xiwen put his arm around his neck and walked home together, laughing as he walked, "Good brother! So loyal!"

Haydn, who had no power to resist: "..."

Neither of them noticed that in the crowd behind them, there was a tall man standing, staring at Xiwen's arm around Haydn, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.

——Moss Palace——

"The upgrade is complete."

Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the shiny orange mecha in front of him, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "Haydn will probably like it."

"Hmph!" An untimely, sarcastic voice came from beside me.

Caesar's smile vanished instantly, and he looked at Moss standing next to him with a complicated expression. Ever since Caesar's outburst that day, Moss had never disturbed Caesar's work again, but he kept a close eye on Caesar 24 hours a day, like a stalker, which made Caesar very upset.

"Don't you have anything to do?" Caesar glanced at him, "Is the Zeus store going to close down?"

Moss choked and said sarcastically, "Haydn? That dark-skinned guy who's about the same height as you? Haha, you like him?"

"..." Caesar's fair face suddenly turned as dark as Haydn's, "Get out!"

Then he turned around and continued to assemble the parts. His mental force threads laid out energy bit by bit. He thought about Haydn for a while, then Yu Sheng, and then turned his mind to Master Miller.

Master must be very worried about him. I wonder how Haydn explained his disappearance to Master. Although he missed Master very much, he couldn't go to Master because Master Miller was a famous figure in the entire galaxy. His every move was being watched. He was a wanted criminal. If anything happened, Master would be implicated.

I don't know if the method I figured out to upgrade the military mecha is correct. I haven't had the chance to show it to Master... Yu Sheng's silver dragon hasn't been upgraded either. I don't know when we'll meet again...

As he was thinking, Caesar finished laying out the parts in his hand and picked up the next one. Just as he was about to release his mental power, his hand was covered by another person's hand.

Caesar raised his eyes and was about to say something when he heard Moss say, "Baby, it's time to eat."

Caesar simply couldn't do anything with Moss.

That day, they had almost reached the point of breaking off all ties, but afterwards, even though Moss didn't dare to interfere with his work anymore, he still shamelessly pestered Caesar and called him "baby", which made Caesar very annoyed.

Thinking that he was living in the Moss Palace after all and that he really needed to take care of his health, Caesar said nothing and got up to go to the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Team A, led by Gu Luo, successfully arrived at Mantu Star. Disguised as ordinary tourists, the six members inquired with the locals about the Duke of Nanso's Mansion.

"Ah, you're talking about Duke Nanso!" Citizen A, who lived not far from the Duke's mansion, laughed. "He's quite nice, quite good. I often see him taking Lyle out for walks. Or rather, I'd say Lyle is the best blue beast. He's well-behaved and obedient, and there's no way he'd commit a murderous crime like those two audacious blue beasts."

"I heard that Lyle has been with Duke Nanso since he was very young. Raising a pet is the same as raising a child. You can't raise a pet you picked up somewhere else!" Citizen B looked very experienced, as if he had raised many blue beasts.

"Haha, is that so?" Guluo feigned anticipation. "I wonder if we'll ever get a chance to see the Blue Beast! Oh! My biggest wish when visiting Mantu Star is to see the Blue Beast."

Citizen B looked Guluo up and down and shook his head. "Looking at your attire, you don't look rich or powerful. You probably don't qualify to attend Duke Nanso's birthday party. You should hang out here more often and try to run into someone from the palace walking their blue beast. It would be nice to just catch a glimpse of them from afar."

Gu Luo chatted for a few more sentences, and when he saw that he couldn't get any other useful information, he pretended that he was not familiar with the route and wanted to go back to the hotel quickly, and said goodbye to the citizens.

In the evening, the members of Group A gathered together, and Gu Luo analyzed the current situation and Nanso's information to everyone.

"It's impossible for us to enter the Duke's Mansion as tourists," Guluo said. "There are two ways now. One is to sneak in by force, but there are only six of us, and we would have to bring a Blue Star person who has no fighting ability with us. The success rate is too low. The other way," Guluo's eyes narrowed, "is to ask Mr. Moss for help. With his status, he should be qualified to attend Duke Nanso's birthday party."
