Mousse Military Academy
On the outskirts of a bustling city on the planet Mantu, a vast military academy, nearly occupying the entire outskirts, stood. Its advanced facilities, top-notch teaching quality, and comprehensive curriculum earned it the title of the finest military academy in the galaxy. The imposing gate bore the inscription of its first principal, General Yanji, who died fighting against the Zerg: "Muse Military Academy."
In front of this tall, broad and magnificent school gate, stood a young man with blue hair and dark skin. His handsome face and masculine temperament added a lot of points to him. If the young man was not so short, he would definitely be a handsome boy favored by many girls.
At this time, the short handsome guy was looking left and right in the crowd, as if looking for someone.
When the short handsome guy's eyes fell on a young man with chestnut hair, wearing a dark blue shirt and gray trousers, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately rushed over, grabbed the young man's arm and asked, "Are you Qiuqiu?"
This young man was Yu Sheng, who had changed his appearance and made an appointment with Haidun to meet at the gate of Mousse Military Academy.
Yu Sheng looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, "Are you Haidun?"
The contrast was too great. On the interstellar network, Haidun was clearly taller than himself, which was twenty centimeters taller. So Yu Sheng had been looking for a tall man, thinking that such a tall height was rare among interstellar people, and he would definitely be seen at a glance.
Haydn smiled happily, "Yes! My real name is Haydn Vijay, you can just call me Haydn~"
Yu Sheng also smiled and said, "My name is Red Si, you can still call me Qiuqiu."
"Come on, I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office to register. But I suspect with your first place ranking..." Haydn paused, "I'm afraid the military academy will directly hire you as a combat instructor? If you teach well, you can even get promoted!"
Yu Sheng shook his head. "I can't be a teacher." He came here to learn more about interstellar knowledge and the experience and skills of interstellar people. In fact, he knew that he was just lucky. The reformed interstellar fighting competition was tailor-made for him. If it came to absolute strength, he couldn't beat Dan Yunxiao.
Arriving at the Academic Affairs Office, a middle-aged woman with a rather serious look sat there. She briefly looked at the newcomer and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Hello, teacher," Yu Sheng said politely, "I'd like to use your school's special recruitment channel for the Interstellar Fighting Competition."
Without even raising her eyelids, the female teacher quickly tore off a form and threw it to Yu Sheng. "As long as you're in the top 100,000, fill it out. However, there are too many people applying for special recruitment this year, so don't hold out too much hope of getting in."
Yu Sheng picked up the form, which contained all his personal information, including his Star Network account information. He quickly filled it out and handed it back to the female teacher. The female teacher, head down, busy with her own work, casually placed the form on top of the pile of applications next to her. "If you have no questions, you can leave."
Yu Sheng and Haydn looked at each other, said nothing, and left the Academic Affairs Office together.
After leaving the Academic Affairs Office, Haydn asked about Yu Sheng's current situation. "It'll probably be a few days before the acceptance letter is issued. Since you're new here, have you found a suitable place to stay? If not, you can come and share my apartment with me!"
Although only the city center of H City is economically developed and the suburbs are relatively remote, due to the Mousse Military Academy, the prices of houses in the suburbs are still not low. Most students cannot afford them and can only choose to share a house.
Of course, Haydn's family has enough money to buy a house, but Haydn came here to study for experience. If he spends his family's money recklessly, he will always feel like a playboy. Therefore, Haydn earns money for food, clothing, housing and transportation by taking on mercenary missions.
The apartment Haydn rented was 120 square meters, which was too large for him to live in alone. If Yu Sheng came along, they could not only take care of each other but also share half of the rent.
Yu Sheng was a little tempted. He hesitated for a moment, "Haydn, how many vacancies do you have in your shared apartment? I have a friend..."
"That's perfect!" Haydn said enthusiastically. "Call your friend and I'll show you around!"
"Okay." Yu Sheng responded, tapped the personal terminal on his wrist, and made a phone call.
Soon, the call was picked up and the voice on the other end was a little hoarse, as if the person had just woken up.
"Hello?"
"Fan Er, you haven't woken up yet?"
"Yeah." Caesar replied lazily, "The hotel bed is too soft, my back hurts from sleeping on it. How's your special recruitment going?"
Yu Sheng was speechless. "No results yet. I have a friend here who invited us to share a house. We're going to see a house now. Do you want to go?"
"No need, my dear Reds, I'll leave it all to you. I trust you." Caesar's voice was lazy and sexy. Haydn, who was listening in, blushed a little. After Yu Sheng hung up the phone, he couldn't help but poke Yu Sheng with his elbow and asked, "Qiuqiu, what's your relationship with this friend?"
Yu Sheng glanced at him strangely, "What kind of relationship? Just friends."
Haydn choked and stammered, "I mean... does he have, uh, a special relationship with you? Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to discriminate against homosexuals. It's just that if we live together in the future, I have to be mentally prepared to avoid suspicion!"
"..." Veins popped out of Yu Sheng's forehead, "Haydn, is there something wrong with your brain?"
At this time, in a small hotel in the suburbs of H City, Caesar was lying on the floor exhausted, his body soaked in sweat and his face pale.
In front of him was an instrument for practicing mental power reserves. After Yu Sheng left the hotel early this morning, Xi Ze sat in front of this instrument, trying to break through his mental power which had always been hovering at a low value after being damaged.
However, the lifelong damage caused by the FL injection could never be compensated by hard work. When Xi Ze was frantically absorbing the spiritual power in his blood, his vision suddenly went black and he passed out. If it weren't for the call from Yu Sheng that woke him up, he might still be in a coma.
Caesar clenched his fists, sat up from the ground, and stared at the instrument in front of him in a daze.
After a long pause, he threw a fist, slamming it hard against the instrument. The instrument remained unscathed, but blood oozed from the joints of Caesar's fist. As if awakened by the pain, Caesar quickly found a bandage to wrap around his bleeding finger.
If someone saw that my blood did not turn blue even when it came into contact with the air, then my identity as a Blue Star person would definitely be exposed.
Thinking of this, Caesar frowned. Yu Sheng was going to study in the combat department of the Mousse Military Academy, but the combat department had no shortage of combat training on a daily basis, and getting injured and bleeding was commonplace.
The fact that blood doesn't turn blue even when exposed to air is the most striking difference between Earthlings and interstellar beings. If Yu Sheng were discovered, the consequences would be devastating.
The 120-square-meter house is neither too big nor too small. It has everything you need, including a kitchen, living room, balcony, and bathroom. However, there are only two bedrooms, so if three people live there, two people will have to share one room. Fortunately, the master bedroom is large enough for two beds.
"If you decide to stay, I can pack up tomorrow." Haydn introduced Yu Sheng and showed him the kitchen. The kitchen was empty, with not even a pot on the stove.
Haydn chuckled twice and said, "I can't cook anyway, so the kitchen has been unused. If you want to cook for yourself, you have to buy kitchen utensils and seasonings first."
"No, thanks." Yu Sheng said decisively, "I can't cook it either." Not only can he not cook it, Yu Sheng can be called a kitchen killer.
After viewing the house, Haydn discussed the rent with Yu Sheng. It was to be paid every six months, a total of 360 silver star coins, with 120 per person being enough. After that, Haydn worried that Yu Sheng, a child from a remote area, might be short on money, so he said, "It's okay if it's not enough at first. I can cover some of the cost. With your fighting skills, you should be able to make a lot of money taking on mercenary missions."
Yu Sheng thanked him sincerely. Fortunately, there was an acquaintance like Haydn here, otherwise he and Caesar would be really at a loss.
At noon, Haydn wanted to take Yu Sheng to a delicious little restaurant for dinner, but Yu Sheng politely declined. Just kidding, I don't want to have diarrhea, so I'd better go back and eat my blue animal food.
Haydn was still puzzled. "Qiuqiu, when we were online, your eyes lit up when we talked about food. Why are you so reserved today?" He patted Yusheng on the shoulder and said, "Hey, you're not embarrassed, are you? Tsk, don't be so formal with me."
"...Who's being distant with you? I just agreed to have dinner with my friend." Yu Sheng said speechlessly.
After hearing this reason, Haydn let Yu Sheng go. The two agreed to go to the mall to buy daily necessities in the afternoon. Yu Sheng took the bus back to the small hotel where he had stayed before. When he returned to the room, Xi Ze was still sleeping soundly in bed.
Helpless Yu Sheng was about to wake up Xi Ze, but suddenly found that Xi Ze's face was flushed. When he put his hand on it, he found that the temperature was obviously high.
Yu Sheng's heart immediately lifted. He first woke the dazed Caesar and gave him some water. Then he dug out the blue animal food that was in short supply and said to Caesar, "You're sick. I'm going to call Phil now. Eat your meal first. Your body won't be able to handle it if you don't."
Caesar rubbed his brows and said, "No need to call Phil, it's okay, I'll be over it." He didn't expect that the price of forcing a breakthrough would be a high fever. This time he was really daydreaming.
Phil is the only doctor who can treat them, but Phil's city is too far away from here, so they try not to bother her to come all the way here.
Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, tested the temperature of Caesar's forehead again, and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but if the condition worsens, I must call Phil."
Caesar curled up in bed, forcing a slight smile, "How's the house hunting going?"
"The house is pretty good," Yu Sheng said. "For the two of us, it's 240 silver star coins a month. I should be able to afford it by taking on mercenary missions and earning money in the future."
Caesar nodded, then suddenly remembered something and warned, "Although living in the dorms is cheaper, you know the difference between us and interstellar people... try to minimize contact to prevent exposure. Also, when you join the combat system, you'll inevitably be exposed to fighting. If you get injured, the consequences are unpredictable, and we don't have any effective measures right now, so you can only take precautions yourself."
Yu Sheng responded, "Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure that I will not be hurt."
After eating, Xi Ze felt better. Yu Sheng sent a message to Haydn saying that his friend was sick and needed care, and that he would go to Star Online to shop that night. Haydn quickly replied, saying, "Okay, let your friend have a good rest," and asked if he could help find a doctor.
"No, it's not a serious problem." Yu Sheng said, "Thank you!"
"We are just friends, don't be so pretentious!" Haydn said with a smile.
Yu Sheng stayed by Xi Ze's bedside the entire afternoon, and would use his hand to test Xi Ze's temperature every once in a while. Xi Ze was dizzy but still smiled and teased him, "Dear Redse, you are so virtuous."
"..." Yu Sheng patted Xi Ze's flushed cheek speechlessly and said expressionlessly, "Dear Fan Er, if your brain is burnt out, I don't mind helping you cure it."
——Dean's Office of the Mousse Military Academy——
Having just finished teaching a human anatomy lesson to the mischievous third-year students in Class C of the Fighting Department, Mr. Payne felt like he'd lost half his life. The Fighting Department students had a particular trait: they loved practical lessons and hated theoretical ones. Not a single student in the class was paying attention. It would have been fine if they were all sleeping on their desks, but the most infuriating thing was that a group of four notorious troublemakers were causing trouble in the classroom. The whole class was roaring with laughter, and Mr. Payne couldn't even continue the lesson.
After finally getting through the class, before he could dismiss it, the entire class cheered and rushed out, heading for the combat training room. Pain felt a surge of rage, with nowhere to vent it. These students believed that actual combat was the most useful, and that theoretical knowledge was useless. They didn't realize that only by studying anatomy in detail could they better understand the structure of the human body and thus discern the weaknesses of both their enemies and themselves.
Payne felt even more upset when he thought that he not only had to substitute teach but also had to do administrative work in the Academic Affairs Office.
"Teacher Xiaoqian, are there a lot of people submitting applications today?" Payne asked Teacher Xiaoqian who was sitting across from him after returning to the Academic Affairs Office.
Teacher Xiaoqian was busy planning the process for the fighting exchange program between the affiliated schools. Upon hearing this, she handed the entire stack of papers next to her to Payne and said, "Hurry up and pick someone. The school requires a list of special recruits within a week."
"We're only hiring fifty, and there are so many applicants." Payne felt a headache as he glanced at the top form. The applicant's name was Reds. But that wasn't what caught Payne's attention. The important thing was the online ID field, which showed a tailless ball monster.
Payne felt his heart pounding. He remembered that the first place winner of this year's Interstellar Fighting Tournament was the tailless Ballmon! He remembered it so clearly because Yunxiao had always been first in previous years. This was the first time a dark horse had emerged and defeated Yunxiao, causing quite a stir. And the Interstellar Network didn't allow duplicate names, unless Redus had made it up...
Payne instinctively thought it was impossible. Someone who could finish in the top three of the All-Star Tournament would actually enroll in a military academy? Being a teacher was fine, but being a student was ridiculous.
However, when Payne entered the competition number 6000000807 into the system, and the online name that appeared was "Tailless Beast" and the real name was "Reds", he was completely excited.
I thought I would have to wait several days to receive a response from Mousse Military Academy, but unexpectedly, the next day, when Yu Sheng and the recovered Xi Ze were busy directing the robots to move the newly purchased furniture into their new home, Yu Sheng's personal terminal rang.
An official message from the Mousse Military Academy: Congratulations to Redes for being admitted to our school through special recruitment. Please go to the Student Affairs Office within three days to complete your information and undergo a physical examination.
Yu Sheng announced the good news to Haydn and Caesar, "As expected of a prestigious school, its efficiency is truly remarkable."
"Great! Moving and getting accepted are both great news! As the host, I have to treat you to a meal!" Haydn was genuinely happy. "Tonight!"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, just as he was thinking of how to refuse, when he heard Xi Ze smile and say, "No, we're new here, and thanks to your help, we've been able to settle down so quickly. If anyone wants to treat you, it should be me. How about this, let's not be so formal. I'll go buy some kitchen supplies and ingredients, and then I'll show you my cooking skills tonight, how about that?"
