Liao Runing was born in a local family on Shadu Star. After he was tested as 3S level, many elders from the aristocratic families who were on good terms with him often came to visit him. They all said that he would be best off going to other stars, especially the Imperial Star.

After all, Damocles Military Academy has declined.

"It's up to him to choose where to go." Old Man Liao said he would not interfere with Liao Runing's choice.

As for Liao Runing's real thoughts: "I definitely won't go to Pingtongyuan. I can't get used to Samuel Military Academy. There are so many people in the Imperial Military Academy that I can't offend, so I won't go."

Elder: "Then do you want to go to Nampaxi Military Academy?"

Liao Runing: "No, I heard there are a lot of bugs there. I think Damocles Military Academy is pretty good."

"How can you choose Damocles Military Academy? Young people should go out more."

"Mature people need to spend time with their loved ones." Liao Runing said in return.

Elder: "..."

When Old Man Liao heard this before leaving the house, he took two steps back and said, "That's not necessary. Your father is still young and doesn't need you to be filial to him."

No matter what, Liao Runing finally chose Damocles Military Academy. He was a local. When he was in the first year of elementary school, the school organized them to visit Damocles Military Academy. The scene of the school training at that time was deeply imprinted in his mind. Since then, Liao Runing decided to study mecha hard and go to this military academy.

Although, the year they went to visit was the beginning of the lowest point of Damocles Military Academy.

After Liao Runing signed up, he was contacted in advance to train with several 3S freshmen. This was the first time that Damocles Military Academy had four 3S freshmen. If nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely become teammates and participate in the Hephaestus Competition together.

Therefore, the school contacted the four freshmen in advance this year, hoping that they could report to the school in advance. Liao Runing himself trained at home every day and didn't mind changing the place at all.

"You're lucky." Father Liao had just come back from a business talk and looked at his son. "There are so many 3S-level students this year

. Maybe you will be the rising class of Damocles Military Academy." Liao Runing was sweating profusely when he came out of the mecha. He wiped his face and said, "The number of 3S-level freshmen in each military academy has reached a new high this year."

"That's right." Father Liao thought for a while and asked, "Is the super 3S-level commander of the Ying family in the same class as you?"

"Yes, Ying Xingjue." Liao Runing had already inquired about the 3S-level freshmen of various military academies in advance. He was familiar with the names, but there were some changes in the military academies they belonged to. "This year, among our military academy freshmen, there is a mecha technician from the Ying family and a light mecha soldier from the Huo family."

Father Liao frowned, "Looking at the situation, these two people are either troublemakers or marginal people."

"You'll see him tomorrow at school." Liao Runing's mind was on training and fighting, and he didn't care about these.

"Where's the commander? Isn't there a 3S-level commander?" Liao's father suddenly asked.

"The freshman commander, I haven't heard much about him, he's not from a noble family." Liao Runing recalled, "His name is Jin Ke, and his family seems to be in the garbage disposal business."

"He's new, so he can't be too bad." Liao's father patted Liao Runing, "You should fight for your own strength, I don't want to see you get beaten badly in the competition."

"... Dad, you don't have to watch."

The next day, Liao Runing rushed to Damocles Military Academy early. At this time, the school hadn't started yet, and there was no one. But there were already two people standing at the school gate, Huo Xuanshan and Ying Chenghe, they should have arrived at Shadu Star yesterday.

"Are you a light soldier? Let's have a fight sometime." The first thing Liao Runing said when he stepped forward was to Huo Xuanshan. Fighting was the only thing on his mind.

Huo Xuanshan nodded slightly at him: "Are you Liao Runing?"

"We'll train together and there will be competitions. No need to make an appointment." Ying Chenghe said beside him.

This was the first time the three of them met. Huo Xuanshan and Ying Chenghe had perfectly put on the appearance of children from aristocratic families.

The three of them stood silently at the school gate, waiting for the fourth person to arrive.

A tall and thin boy got off the aircraft, glanced at them, stepped forward and called out all of their names in a familiar manner, then took a step back: "My name is Jin Ke, and I'm a commander."

The communication between the four people was unfamiliar and restrained, and each of them was still a little bit sizing in their hearts.

"Are you all here?" At this time, another aircraft stopped outside the school, and a teacher walked out of it, "Let me introduce myself first, Jie Yuman."

"You just came back from the military area?" Jin Ke asked.

Jie Yuman looked at Jin Ke: "Do you know me?"

"You are still injured." Jin Ke lowered his eyes and looked at Jie Yuman's arm, where a small spot of blood seeped out.

"You are worthy of being the commander." Jie Yuman smiled, "Another instructor will come in the future. We are mainly instructing individual training, that is, Huo Xuanshan and Liao Runing. As for the two of you, go to the school to report by yourselves. If you have any questions, go directly to the school director."

After the first meeting, the four people separated in less than an hour. Liao Runing and Huo Xuanshan followed Jie Yuman on the aircraft.

"Liao Runing is a local and is more accustomed to the environment here. Huo Xuanshan, you are a light soldier, so you need to adapt for a while." Jie Yuman looked at the two and said, "In addition, there is one remaining instructor named Li Ze."

The training was in the desert, and the two were not together. Huo Xuanshan was required to control the mecha to fly in the air until the energy was exhausted.

There was a constant temperature system in the mecha, but Jie Yuman asked him to turn it off: "In combat, it is easy to cause various problems due to damage to the mecha. Sometimes the mecha technician cannot repair it in time. You must have endurance to persevere."

Without the constant temperature system, under the scorching sun in the desert, Huo Xuanshan was sweating profusely in the mecha cabin. As the flight time became longer and longer, he could hardly breathe, but he always persisted.

"Some blood." While Liao Runing was fighting with Jie Yuman on the ground, he took the time to look up, and his opinion of the man from the Imperial Capital Star changed a little.

"You were distracted when fighting me?" Jie Yuman was very dissatisfied and kicked Liao Runing's butt directly. The force of this kick went directly through the mecha and reached his mind.

Liao Runing was caught off guard and screamed, and then he was beaten by Jie Yuman, and finally his face was buried in the hot sand, and he couldn't even shout.

Jie Yuman stepped on Liao Runing's head, and suddenly there was a "bang" behind her. She turned her head and found that Huo Xuanshan fell directly from the air.

"Is the person inside dizzy from the heat or has he run out of energy?"

Huo Xuanshan climbed out of the mecha cabin, his face flushed and sweating all over. His clothes were already soaked through: "The energy has run out."

"Very good." Jie Yuman loosened her legs and let Liao Runing out. "Do you see the flag in the distance? You lead him and run along the flag until you reach the end and then come back. It's 12 noon now, and I want you to come back at 6 pm."

Liao Runing came out of the mecha cabin, stroking his buttocks: "Teacher, why don't I fight with him first so that we can get to know each other as soon as possible?"

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, run now!" Jie Yuman frowned, crossed his arms, and motioned them to look to the side, "Tie up all the weight belts."

Watching them leave, Jie Yuman suddenly received a call from Li Ze: "What's the matter?"

Li Ze: "There will be one more instructor for the freshmen, Xiang Minghua will also be there."

Jie Yuman was not surprised: "The shooting instructor for the freshmen."

"Not only that, Xiang Minghua will also teach in the school in the future and guide A-level cadets."

When Li Ze said this, Jie Yuman frowned: "Why?"

"You also know that he has been brooding over the reasons for the rebellion in District 11. The higher-ups don't want him to investigate further. He went too far a few days ago and almost took a team to the independent army, so this demotion is a punishment."

"Got it."

...

Liao Runing and the other person didn't even go to school on the first day. They ran around in the desert and ate a mouthful of sand. When they came back, Jie Yuman and the aircraft disappeared, leaving only a flag with words written on it: Go ahead, you go back on your own.

The two fell exhausted in the desert, leaning side by side, looking at the sky.

"It's so hot here." Huo Xuanshan stretched out his hand to cover half of his face and suddenly said.

"It's better to be hot than cold. Fanhanxing is not a place for people to stay." Liao Runing stepped on Fanhanxing.

"That's right." Huo Xuanshan closed his eyes and could feel the residual heat and cold wind in the desert.

For this sentence, Liao Runing was willing to chat with Huo Xuanshan for a few more words: "Why don't you apply for the Imperial Military Academy? I think you are quite capable."

Before, in mid-air, Huo Xuanshan controlled the mecha to do a lot of difficult movements.

"I want to come to Damocles Military Academy to have a look."

Liao Runing stood up, patted the sand, and stretched out his hand to Huo Xuanshan: "Let's go, it's cold here late."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the hands of two young people holding each other were imprinted on the yellow desert.

...

"So, the relationship between us has faded so much?" On the return starship, Liao Runing questioned Huo Xuanshan. He sat down next to him and said sadly, "On Planet 3212, Wei San looked at me coldly every day."

Huo Xuanshan looked down at his hand, on which there was an extra ring.

"Next time, take me and Chenghe out to play together." Liao Runing whispered, "And I always feel that Yingxing Jue has some opinions about me."

Huo Xuanshan stretched out one of his hands and placed it in front of Liao Runing: "Did you see it?"

"What's wrong, is your hand injured?" Liao Runing asked.

Huo Xuanshan: "..."

"Tsk tsk, is this a success?" Jin Ke passed by and sighed at the ring on Huo Xuanshan's hand.

Liao Runing looked left and right: "Ah?"

Jin Ke shook her head: "You should play with Ying Chenghe."

So the statistics about the single rate of individual soldiers are really correct. Half of the soldiers were led by their commanders to leave the single ranks first, and the other half... let's not talk about it.

"There are still ten minutes to reach Fantasy Night Star. Everyone get ready for landing." Wei San walked over and reminded.

Everyone gathered their emotions and stood up.

Unlike landing in the military area in previous years, the current team is popular to land directly in the tide of star beasts, kill them directly, and walk to the military area.

"Action." Jin Ke stood in the middle and said the moment the cabin door opened, and Wei San rushed out first.

The five of them led the team to kill the star beasts, all the way to the military district. With the main force leading the way, these star beasts were not a problem at all.

In front of the military district, everyone put away their mechas. Wei San lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves. Suddenly, he felt something and turned his head to look across: it was someone from the fifth district, Ying Xingjue was standing in front.

She raised her hand to show the number of star beasts counted on the optical computer, and gave him a provocative smile.

Ten years have passed, and they have been trusted companions, and at the same time, they are also involved in military district competition. Some things have changed, but some things have never changed.
