When he received the official notice, Gu Qiongsheng was running on the playground.
She brought along the only girl from Class F who was willing to follow her.
The exceptionally thin girl was Zhou Qing, and she had been stuck at F level for three years. Unless a miracle happened, she would fail in this year's Alliance exam, and then return to her hometown, the Garbage Planet, to take over her parents' position as a waste condensate processor.
"I don't want to go back to this garbage planet."
"I put so much effort into getting out of there, and I finally got the chance to study at Shangyuan City Military Academy. How can I go back like this?"
Zhou Qing followed Gu Qiongsheng breathlessly. Her physical condition was much worse than Gu Qiongsheng's. After running 10 laps, she was so tired that she almost fainted.
But she still clenched her teeth, her face pale as paper with sweat, and each step she took felt heavy: "I want to fight again, fight for my life once more."
"Even if I can't be a soldier, I can still join the Logistics Department of the War College. After all... I'm not going to be a garbage disposal technician..."
Gu Qiongsheng turned around and looked at her with appreciation.
"That's right. It would be too shameful to go back in such a mess."
Sunlight shone on the girl's long, glossy black hair, creating ripples. Her hearty laughter echoed across the vast field. "You should become a warrior before returning. Use your resources and energy to bring back opportunities for development and give your family a better life. Ten more laps. Can you hold on?"
Zhou Qing dragged her heavy steps: "...Yes!"
Gu Qiongsheng: "Then go faster!"
Although psychic warriors rely on their psychic power to cause damage, physical fitness is also an important foundation for fighting. Speed means agility and high-speed nerve reactions, which are the basic qualities of becoming an excellent warrior.
The original body paid great attention to this point, and he never missed running and exercising every day, rain or shine.
After the exercise, Zhou Qing collapsed to the ground almost exhausted, gasping for breath.
Gu Qiongsheng was also very tired.
In order to achieve the best training effect, she did not nourish herself during the run, but now that the training was over, she cast a small healing spell on herself without hesitation.
A flash of white light makes you feel refreshed.
[Skill Proficiency +1]
very good.
Gu Qiongsheng regained the feeling of playing games to the hilt and setting the alarm in the middle of the night to replenish her energy in her previous life. As long as the blue bar was full, she would get out of bed in the middle of the night to feed herself a few sips.
It’s a pity that this milk can’t increase your proficiency all the time.
Alas, why can't she find a sickly person who can refresh the blue bar anytime and anywhere?
When Zhou Qing managed to get up from the ground, she saw Gu Qiongsheng, who was full of energy. The girl was stunned for a moment, surprised, but also felt indescribable admiration in her heart.
Gu Qiongsheng is really amazing...
She couldn't even stand up, but she acted as if nothing had happened. She was still staring at the playground eager to try, as if she couldn't wait to run another 20 laps.
Talented and hardworking.
If she doesn't succeed, who will?
Feeling full of emotion, Zhou Qing casually opened the portable computer.
Then, she saw the notice that Gu Qiongsheng was transferred to Class F.
"……What?"
Zhou Qing was almost disheveled.
She looked up in disbelief, glanced at Gu Qiongsheng, then lowered her head to stare at the notice on the computer. The lines of small characters twisted and changed in her eyes until she could hardly recognize them.
"How is that possible? This must be a mistake." Zhou Qing's hand trembled as she held onto the laptop. "Sister Qiongsheng, how could you really be an F-rank?"
Gu Qiongsheng also glanced at the screen.
She had been mentally prepared and did not feel lost at the moment. Instead, she felt a sense of relief that "it was as expected."
"F is F," Gu Qiongsheng casually flicked the screen with his fair fingers, his fingertips as smooth as jade. "What's wrong with F rank? Coming from the bottom and overturning the whole place, that's what's interesting."
Besides, the inspection team only saw her current total mental power, but they didn’t know that during a training session yesterday, Gu Qiongsheng’s mental power increased by a full 30 points.
These 30 points added to the original 400 points did not seem surprising, but if she could maintain a 30-point increase in mental strength every day, it would only be a matter of time before she returned to level C.
The progress of the mental energy consumption training method was much faster than Gu Qiongsheng had imagined.
The several mental training methods currently available in the Federation cannot even come close to it.
She took a few steps confidently, then suddenly thought of something and turned around abruptly: "Wait, you didn't think I was still C-rank and that you felt you had someone close to you, so you came over to practice with me?"
Zhou Qing quickly shook her head.
Gu Qiongsheng looked at her with a half-smile. "Now there's no hope for me to return to Class A. If I'm in Class F, I'll have almost no chance of getting into the League exam. So, are you disappointed? It's not too late to regret it now."
Zhou Qing's eyes flickered, but after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head firmly.
"No regrets," she looked at Gu Qiongsheng steadily. "I have no other hope. I don't want to miss even the smallest possibility. Sister Qiongsheng, I believe in you."
Gu Qiongsheng looked at her quietly for a while, and suddenly smiled.
"That's fine too."
She turned around and looked at the rising sun in the sky. Crimson clouds filled the sky and a glimmer of light flowed in her eyes.
"Believe me, I will never let you down."
…
As they walked back to the classroom, the two passed by the teaching building.
Gu Qiongsheng inadvertently caught a glimpse of the light screen outside the teaching building and was suddenly stunned.
On the light screen, three photos turned gray and the names also dimmed.
"What's going on?"
She stopped in surprise.
The boys and girls in the photo are young, beautiful, and full of youthful vigor. Some of them even blew a kiss to the camera.
But at this moment, their figures became dim, the blue sky and white clouds in the photo were completely frozen, and a line of years appeared at the bottom of the names:
Liu Fenglan (2866-2888)
Dong Yu (2865-2888)
Wandering Thoughts (2866-2888)
There is a small star at the end.
It looks like a bouquet of flowers in front of a tombstone, or a memorial engraved on the starry sky.
Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing stood there in silence.
She saw it.
The three people in the photo...died.
Zhou Qing clicked on her watch, glanced at it for a moment, and whispered, "Another planet has been lost. The branch of the legion stationed there suffered heavy losses and was forced to evacuate in a hurry. They must have been at that time..."
Gu Qiongsheng took a deep breath: "I understand."
In order to better integrate into this era, she would watch Star News with Gu Qi every night.
The news reported the incident in a heavy tone, but Gu Qiongsheng did not expect that there were students from Yuancheng University on the lost planet.
Even though she had a clear understanding of the situation intellectually when she saw the news, subconsciously, the dangers were still far away from Gu Qiongsheng. And now, an indescribable feeling of grief suddenly hit her.
After standing still for a moment, Gu Qiongsheng suddenly raised his hand.
Her white fingertips touched the small star in the corner of the screen, and the entire screen suddenly flashed with light.
"call out--"
A huge star map quietly emerged.
Numerous stars, bright moons and small suns are scattered across the star map.
But only about a quarter of it was still lit; the rest was a dull gray.
Especially the little sun.
The number was small to begin with, and when Gu Qiongsheng looked at them one by one, they were all dim.
Zhou Qing whispered, "These are all psychic warriors who graduated from Yuancheng High School and joined the three main legions. The stars are from the Star Legion, the moon is from the Silver Legion, and the little sun..."
Gu Qiongsheng said softly: "I know."
The Little Sun is the Dawn Legion.
The morning light where her father was.
...The entire army was wiped out, no remains were left, and Chenxi might even be charged with "crimes against humanity".
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qiongsheng shook his head, shaking off the sadness that suddenly emerged in his mind.
Now is not the time to be sad.
She must become stronger, strong enough, to be able to protect herself in this chaotic world.
This era is too dangerous.
Just like the planet that was just lost, the soldiers were in such a state, what about the civilians on that planet?
Even if the Legion will escort the civilians to evacuate first, will all the civilians really be able to leave in time?
In times of war, it is not impossible to lose a city to save a country.
Gu Qiongsheng didn't want to rely on others for his safety.
And there is Gu Qi.
Although it was only a few days, under the woman's meticulous care, Gu Qiongsheng had already regarded her as his own mother from the bottom of his heart.
If she doesn't have the ability to protect herself, will she and Gu Qi suffer the same fate one day?
No, no, absolutely not.
"We must be admitted to the First War College."
Gu Qiongsheng's eyes reflected the brilliant star map, and he spoke word by word, "You must possess the power to protect yourself, so that you can control your destiny."
