Received the admission letter
The setting sun shattered like a shattered amber wine glass, spilling its last half of its golden red light onto the earth. In the alley, barely wide enough for two people to pass, footsteps were heard. A thin figure in a cloak turned into the alley, the hem of the cloak slightly lifted.
A huge bear-like creature appeared at a nearby intersection. It was three and a half meters tall. Its shoulders brushed against the mottled brick walls of the residential buildings on both sides, and the fallen wall dust formed a layer of silver frost on its shiny fur.
The cloaked figure bumped into the bear man unexpectedly, and the cloak slipped off to reveal a face that belonged only to the human race.
"Hey! Get out of the way!"
The bear man was like a mountain, and now his refusal to turn sideways made his huge body almost block the entire alley, and his bear claws grabbed the back collar of the human's cloak.
"Don't..." The human's throat was strangled.
The bear man carried the human out of the alley. When they walked out of the alley and the afterglow of the setting sun was illuminating the bear man's fur, the bear man finally let go and the human fell heavily to the ground at the entrance of the alley.
"It's very dangerous here, human. Don't take shortcuts in the future."
After saying that, the bear man turned and walked into the alley.
Lin Bai sat on the ground and coughed desperately. A smell of rust filled his mouth. His hoarse cough echoed in the alley. In the distance, the muffled sound of a garbage truck compressing waste drifted over.
She supported herself on the ground with her hands, the rough gravel surface hurting her palms. She climbed up tremblingly, walked out of the alley and walked towards the wide street.
......
Until the moonlight shone on Lin Bai's cloak, Lin Bai also counted the bricks on the ground and arrived at the apartment building.

Lin Bai walked in, put on his slippers, took out a few jars from his pocket and placed them on the table. He looked around and saw no one, so he shouted into the house, "Grandma, I'm back."
Soon there was the sound of the door opening, and a hunched figure wrapped in a shawl stood at the door, holding the door frame with a three-toed rabbit paw.
Lin Bai walked over and hugged her, and grandma's furry rabbit ears gradually stood up straight.
She lowered her head and carefully looked at the dust on Lin Bai's face. She took out a piece of cloth and wiped Lin Bai's face. She sighed softly with a choked voice: "You're back. Why are you so late? Why is your voice so hoarse? Are you thirsty? Did something happen to you?"
"It's okay, grandma, I'm fine. I've put the jars on the table. I'll go upstairs first." Lin Bai went upstairs quickly, not noticing his grandma's hand raising and lowering behind him.
As soon as she entered the room, Lin Bai took off her cloak and lay down on the bed. She took a long breath and murmured to herself: "I'm still not used to it."
A few years ago, she was a top professor of mythology. She was so fascinated by reading literature that she stayed up all night for the first time in her life. As a result, she traveled through time in the blink of an eye.
She also traveled to the interstellar era. When she came here, this body was originally an orphan and was abandoned in an orphanage. Thanks to Grandma Rabbit who adopted her, she finally had a small home.
After thinking about it, Lin Bai felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep.
A series of "dong dong dong" sounds came, chasing away her sleepiness. Grandma's voice came through the door, muffled, "Xiaobai, you ran too fast just now and I didn't have time to tell you. Someone came to deliver an admission letter today, claiming they were from the First Federal College."
Lin Bai immediately jumped up from the bed, opened the door, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What acceptance letter?"
She remembered that she had not enrolled in any school or taken any exams.
Grandma handed the notice to Lin Bai and said, "The Federation said you are the only pure-blooded human, and they asked you to go to the capital planet to study. They said they want to protect your safety."
Lin Bai took the notice, hugged his grandmother and rubbed the soft rabbit fur on her neck. "But I don't want to leave you. It's safe here."
Grandma raised her arm and put it around Lin Bai, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Grandma is your guardian. Since I am also a summoner, the Federation has also allocated me an apartment on the capital planet. Grandma can go and study with you. We will set off tomorrow."
"That's great." Lin Bai jumped up happily.
Grandma laughed and said, "This is your first time going to the capital planet since you were born. Pack your things well and you can leave tomorrow."
After saying that, grandma left.
Lin Bai gently closed the door and turned to the desk. Inside the room, a small spotlight on the table emitted a soft blue light. Next to it sat a thin electronic tablet, recording myths and legends from ancient Earth.
In Chinese mythology, Pangu created the world with a single axe; in Indian mythology, the thunderbird released the first ray of light that illuminated the universe; in Norse mythology, the dragon Ymir lifted up the world tree. These mythological stories, one after another, have traveled through thousands of years and are written on electronic boards.
"Why do these stories disappear?" she murmured, her voice echoing in the small room.
After Earth's civilization went into space, humans joined the Federation. Over the long years, many ancient beliefs and memories from Earth were washed away by the tide of the times.
In this era where planetary gods have been summoned as fighting forces, why have the myths of Earth disappeared? Now that she has traveled through time, she must seize the opportunity to awaken the myths that remain deep in the memories of the mixed-race human race.
Going to the First Federal College is a great opportunity. I hope she can successfully summon the gods after her mimicry awakens.
......
The sunlight outside the window was like a sharp knife, piercing into the room through the gap in the curtains. The alarm clock kept buzzing, and Lin Bai tried to get up, but he felt like his body was glued to the bed.
"Xiaobai, get up and have breakfast. We'll set off after that." Lin Bai finally got up until his grandma knocked on the door.
Grandma was particularly excited today because she was also going to the capital planet. She had obviously started dressing up early, and her carefully chosen suit and skirt made her look elegant and refreshed.
Her light grey dress shone softly in the sunlight, and a small pearl brooch was pinned to her collar. Her hair had been carefully combed, each strand was fluffy and smooth, without even the slightest tangle.
Sunlight shone obliquely through the window glass onto her body, casting tiny specks of light among her fur. Lin Bai couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but he was worried that he would accidentally mess up his grandmother's carefully groomed hair.
Seeing Lin Bai coming downstairs, grandma hurriedly invited Lin Bai to have breakfast.
After finishing his meal, Lin Bai looked up at his grandmother and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her soft fur.
"Come on, Xiaobai, get dressed and come downstairs. We should be leaving," Grandma said as she put on her small bag. The sunlight filtered through the windowpane, shimmering on her silvery-white fur, which swayed gently in the breeze, making her look particularly elegant.
Lin Bai nodded obediently. She had specially worn a fleece cloak today and wrapped herself tightly because this planet was too cold and not suitable for humans.
After going downstairs, grandma was already sitting in the driver's seat of the hover car. She waved to Lin Bai, and Lin Bai quickly climbed into the car.
"Fasten your seatbelts," Grandma gently reminded him. With a gentle hum, the hovercraft rose steadily. Lin Bai could feel the slight push on his back as the car accelerated, and through the windshield he could see the bustling city.
They soon arrived at the starport. Grandma put the hovercraft into her backpack and took Lin Bai on the starship.
Grandma led Lin Bai through the crowd, looking for a place to sit. They were surrounded by people of all kinds.
At this moment, a tall stone man passed by. His cloudy eyes seemed to have difficulty seeing things, and he bumped into Lin Bai in his cloak without noticing.
"Ouch." Lin Bai cried out in pain. Her grandmother stopped looking and quickly checked her. She was relieved when Lin Bai said she was fine.
"I'm sorry, little rabbit!" The stone man hurriedly stopped, his voice low and hoarse, "You look so small, maybe your bones haven't turned to metal yet."
"I... I'm not a rabbit, but it's okay." Lin Bai looked up at the stone figure and said. She took off her cloak, revealing her human appearance.
"Ah! It's the Humans!" The Stoneman quickly bowed his head in apology. "I'm so sorry! I didn't expect to run into someone as fragile as you. If I remember correctly, you're the specially recruited villain, right? Humans before their mimicry awakens are truly incredibly fragile."
Lin Bai corrected him, "It's okay. We humans won't break at the slightest touch. Don't worry."
Grandma patted Lin Bai's shoulder gently and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Let's go find a seat."
After saying that, grandma took Lin Bai away, leaving the stone man standing there with a guilty look on his face.
After finding a seat, Lin Bai felt a little sleepy and gradually fell asleep leaning on his grandmother's soft arms.
When Lin Bai slowly opened her eyes, she was greeted by a magnificent sight she had never seen before. Almost subconsciously, she pressed her face against the porthole, letting her forehead rest against the cool glass, staring intently at the vast sea of stars outside.
"Don't get too close, Xiaobai. It's too cold. You might freeze." Grandma took out a rabbit fur scarf and put it on Lin Bai. "We'll be at the capital planet soon."
Lin Bai turned around and smiled sweetly at his grandmother, "I won't be cold with your scarf."
She caught a glimpse of some familiar patterns on the window frame out of the corner of her eye. She seemed to have seen them somewhere, and she was puzzled.

The starship soon entered the capital star port.
When the ship came to a stop, Lin Bai and his grandmother got off the starship. What came into their eyes was a prosperous scenery that Lin Bai could not describe.
Grandma dug out her reading glasses and put them on to check the address, "Grandma, look where the apartment is."
Then she released the hover car, set the navigation, and drove to the downstairs of the apartment building.
After the two of them got a little familiar with the apartment, grandma said she would take Lin Bai to the college to register, after all, tomorrow was the first day for new students.
The two arrived at the entrance of the academy, identified themselves, and entered the academy while facing the guards' pitiful looks at Lin Bai.
The moment you enter the academy, a statue with a snake body, a bird's beak and wings comes into view.
At this moment, three words immediately popped up in Lin Bai's mind: "Quetzalcoatl".
She asked in confusion, "Grandma, what is this statue?"
"This was placed there by the academy's first dean ten thousand years ago. Since the relevant information was lost with the outbreak of the Dark Beast War, we don't know what creature it is." Grandma thought for a moment and said, "At least, the gods summoned so far don't look similar."
Lin Bai seemed to be lost in thought.
At this time, a few chattering robots came and took them to the registration office. Students in the college had to live in the dormitory and could go home once a week, which was the same as the weekend off on Earth.
Lin Bai registered his identity information and went home with his grandmother.
......
"Xiaobai, have a good rest. You will have to awaken your mimicry as soon as school starts tomorrow. A good rest will prevent you from overdrawing." Grandma summoned the mimicry to infuse Lin Bai with healing power.
When grandma's healing power penetrated his skin, Lin Bai suddenly felt extremely comfortable all over and fell asleep unknowingly.
