"You good-for-nothing, go home right now! Stop standing here making a fool of yourself."

Woolf showed no mercy, kicking Lyme directly, sending him flying towards the house.

"You can't even beat Bennett, that commoner? I really don't know where all the things I taught you since you were little went!"

Several days have passed since Bennett's "triumphant return," and Woolf hasn't had a full night's sleep in all that time, spending her days cleaning up after her son.

As it turned out, this brat didn't care about his father or his future when he got home; he was only concerned about protecting his 'savior,' which infuriated him.

Yu Ling remained silent throughout. If anyone nudged him, he would shift his feet slightly, showing no intention of participating in the interaction whatsoever.

He felt ashamed.

In the end, Lyme took all the blame, getting beaten up as he ran home. Only when all three of them were quietly settled in Lyme's house did Woolf open the citizen bracelet and access the encrypted interface with his senator privileges.

“Lyme, I know you hate Bennett, but he’s riding high right now, so we need to avoid him for the time being. And this isn’t over yet, but… I’ve secured you a chance to redeem yourself in the Special Recruitment Team.”

Woolf didn't hide these things from Yu Ling. In his eyes, the fact that this child dared to come to the Imperial Capital Star alone with his son already showed his stance.

"The special forces team's mission for the next three months is to explore habitable planets, which is relatively easy. However, there are many troublemakers among them who are not easy to get along with. Be prepared, and report for duty tomorrow."

Special forces are an unorganized unit within the military, consisting of individuals who have made mistakes or broken rules but possess strong individual abilities. They are deployed wherever needed, making management much more relaxed.

Lem had no objection to this. Coming back meant a chance to make a comeback. He had risen to the position of deputy general before, and he had certainly endured hardship.

However, if he goes to the special forces, where will Yu Ling, this guy from a garbage planet who isn't even an imperial citizen, go? There's not enough time to settle him down today.

Lyme: "I understand. So where did Lancelot go?"

"......."

Duang!

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your friend."

Lyme, clutching his head, was sent off to clean up the mess he'd left behind. In the hall, Yu Ling sat obediently, looking like a delicate, life-sized doll.

"Don't feel sorry for him, that brat deserves a beating."

Woolf's ability to become a member of parliament was also due to her quick wit and persuasive skills; she could instantly project an aura of approachability with just a few words, he said to Yuling.

"Regarding the arrangements for you, I still want to respect your personal opinion, child. With your 3S-level talent, whether you want to transfer to the mecha pilot team or become a transfer student at the military academy that Lyme graduated from, I can arrange it perfectly for you."

Oh, even though Lem's gone, he's still being so polite to me?

Yu Ling had already figured out that his masterpiece must have been seen by Woolf, and she was waiting for the senator to try to trip her up. Unexpectedly, the man was not angry at all.

Bennett and Woolf were the same; these Imperials weren't exactly gentle when fighting the Zerg!

"Actually, I'd rather go to the research institute..." Yu Ling chose to be direct.

His goal was to find an opportunity to complete that side mission. Whether it was using a planetary warp device or finding a new habitable star system for the Zerg, he needed to obtain firsthand intelligence from the Imperial Research Institute. The key was that having the system made it easier for him to steal.

"The research institute...only outstanding graduates from the research department of the top university on the capital planet can get in." Just thinking about it gave Woolf a headache.

He didn't know how the brains of those people in the research department were structured; they dealt with dense, massive amounts of data every day, making it the last place he wanted to go.

Her educational background was a major disadvantage, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Yu Ling didn't insist and changed her mind, saying, "Then can I go to the special forces with Lem? I don't care about the salary or anything."

Woolf pondered for a moment and said, "That's possible. I understand your desire to follow Lem since it's your first time on the Imperial Star, but those special forces... you'll suffer if you go like this."

He? Suffered a loss?

Yu Ling is such a big insect, even he feels creeped out by his own insect body. If such a good thing really happened, who knows who would suffer the loss? Those trash aliens who were mentally imprinted by him would be the most qualified to speak on this.

“They can’t hurt me,” he said. “Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble for Lyme.”

Since I can't go to the research institute, why should I stay here? It's inconvenient in every way. I might accidentally clash with the protagonist, whose fate is incompatible with mine. What if I expose myself... tsk, I might as well go out and hide for a while, and wait for Lem to come out and protect me before I go wild.

“Alright, I happen to have a recommendation spot that I haven’t used yet. If I go with Lem tomorrow… how about this, I’ll take you to the assessment now.”

Sigh, he's really worried himself sick over his son.

Woolf acted immediately, personally taking Yu Ling to register a citizen bracelet and registering her household registration on the highly sought-after capital star. Then, without stopping, she flew her aircraft to the assessment office.

Actually, today wasn't their workday; it was only through Woolf's parliamentary privilege that they were made to work overtime specifically for Yu Ling.

"Your Excellency, is this... Mr. Lancelot, do you need to conduct an assessment?"

Land is incredibly valuable in the capital city, and in order to save money, the assessment department has always borrowed military academy facilities. Military academy students can be seen training everywhere, and Yu Ling got to experience being the center of attention of everyone.

In summary, after Yu Ling transformed into human form, her body scans showed that it was the same as that of an ordinary mortal. However, compared to other interstellar new humans, it appeared quite different.

Yu Ling set a new record in all aspects of the physical examination before the assessment.

—Except for mental strength, which is 3S+, everything else is D-, and most importantly, the lowest threshold here is only D-.

Not to mention the military academy students who were just watching, even the examiner himself was surprised that Yu Ling's physical fitness was so poor. Her imbalance in her studies was too severe. With a body like that, she could easily fall and hit her head and die. It's a wonder how she grew up safely.

Woolf didn't feel ashamed at all. Physical fitness could be improved through exercise or other supplements, but mental strength was innate. Yu Ling didn't care either, and went to take the assessment test with all the failed medical reports.
