Chapter 15 Prelude
◎Departure◎
【The Royal Military Academy is so spectacular! 】
[Yes, they are all private spaceships.]
If it weren't for the mandatory requirement that a spaceship must have at least seven people on it, they could each pilot one, which would be even more spectacular.
The Royal Military Academy's students are known for being either wealthy or noble, and they all travel to the Joint Base on their own. The Imperial and Dragon City bases are much more modest, with the schools chartering large starships.
[These three have already set sail, why hasn't the Sphinx set sail yet? ]
[Sphinx, the league's fourth-placed team for a thousand years, it doesn't matter whether you go early or late.]
[This isn't a league match, it's a joint military training.]
[If it comes to military training, there's no way this is a competition between the four schools. At least 60% of the students are non-military majors. How can we even compare?!]
[Everyone is watching the excitement now. The four schools' joint military training is being broadcast live online. This is the first time in history.]
【Take a look at the outstanding fighters of the next league in advance! 】
[Don't be too early to say that. Everyone who gets into the four major military academies is excellent. These freshmen are still rookies. It's still a question whether they have the ability to be selected for next year's league.]
The Sphinx's dedicated starship has a lounge for ten people. Students go up and down in an orderly manner and choose the unoccupied room numbers according to their own wishes.
"This year's commotion is quite big." Josephine was referring to the joint military training.
Celia nodded and frowned. "The league is for students majoring in military science to form teams, and military training is for all incoming freshmen. No matter how much StarCraft emphasizes military science, the number of freshmen in all other majors combined will be greater than ours."
Albert understood what his sister meant: "This year, there are about 200,000 freshmen in the four major military academies, and only about 50,000 are majoring in military science."
Luo Wuming: "That means only a quarter of the combat power."
"Not necessarily." Ulysses didn't continue speaking. He turned his gaze to Luo Wusheng, who had been staring at the screen since he sat down, as if chatting with someone. "What do you think?"
The lounge, which was not yet full, suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on Luo Wusheng. He closed the dialogue screen with the Demon Lord, opened his lips and was about to speak when three knocks on the door were heard.
The door opened from the outside, and Magda poked her head in: "Are you still short of people?"
Josephine's eyes lit up: "There are still four places. Didn't you say you would go with your friends?"
"I took the wrong road." Magda covered her face and answered her sister embarrassedly. She looked at Luo Wusheng with a longing light in her eyes: "There are three of us here."
Luo Wusheng nodded: "Come on."
"yeah!"
Magda happily jumped in and said, "I'll tell them to come over now."
She looked around. Beside the long table in the lounge were two sofas, one for two seats and one for three seats. The Kovia siblings, Josephine, and Ulysses each occupied two seats, while Luo Wuming and Luo Wusheng each occupied two seats on the three-seater sofa, facing each other.
Magda headed towards her target, her action decisive but carefully considered. Since everyone present was familiar, she naturally chose a spot close to her family.
As a child, Magda repulsed, or rather feared, her half-brother, Ulysses, an alpha. Luckily, she didn't have much contact with him. Later, he stayed with her sister Josephine as a "reader" within the family, a nominal "reader" but in reality a servant.
When they grew up, the two Alphas had a good relationship. However, because of Magda's identity as an Omega, she was closer to her twin sister than to Ulysses.
In the past few years, she had been jealous of Ulysses and would occasionally try to trip him up, but he had always resolved them. Inexplicably, out of some intuition or instinct, she no longer targeted him, and sometimes even felt a sense of fear when she was with him.
Later, Magda discovered that the way to relieve this fear when she was in close contact with Ulysses was to stay with her sister Josephine.
Although Luo Wuming is an Alpha, he and his sister are partners. Magda understands his personality and character and is not afraid of her. Instead, they can get along well.
As for Luo Wusheng, he has always acted very differently. His reputation as a "heretic" spread when he was admitted to the Sphinx Military Command Department. Although he is an Omega, he is better than most Alphas and has a group of friends who are willing to be loyal to him.
Magda had been persuaded by her elders that he was not like an Omega, until one day she saw Luo Wusheng commanding a simulated battle. He stood in the command center, analyzing and judging the ever-changing situation, and then making the most appropriate decision.
From that time on, his decisive and ruthless appearance was imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.
At some point, Magda had developed the idea that she wanted to be like Luo Wusheng. This "same" didn't mean she was exactly the same, nor did it mean she wanted to be admitted to the command department, but rather she saw him as a goal.
So even though Luo Wusheng always showed his gentle side to them, in Magda's eyes, he had an aura of majestic leadership. She didn't need to hesitate and chose the other end of the sofa where Luo Wuming was. At the corner was her sister Josephine.
Not long after Magda sat down, there was a knock on the door and Edith came in from outside. The Covia siblings were obviously surprised.
Edith sat next to Magda and explained to her sister and brother that she had chosen the mecha maintenance department of Sphinx without telling her family.
knock knock knock
Magda and Edith immediately looked towards the door, and the others also looked over curiously, wanting to see who their friend was.
A well-behaved and cute face appeared behind the open door. His eyes were round and big, and he looked as timid as a little deer.
When Josephine saw that he was an Omega, she pointed to the two empty seats next to Luo Wusheng and said naturally, "Please sit wherever you want."
As soon as she finished speaking, Josephine received puzzled looks from her sister and Magda. She touched the back of her neck in confusion and looked at Ulysses hesitantly. The latter shook his head helplessly, indicating that she had obviously misunderstood.
Omega stood there at a loss, biting his lip, not knowing what to say. The chaotic noise outside disappeared, indicating that most of the students had found the lounge and the countdown to the starship's departure had begun.
"Don't get in my way."
"Ah! You are the person from just now..." Man O was pushed into the lounge by a force. He turned around and recognized the person, but his low cry was drowned out by two anxious voices.
"Qiao Qiao!"
"What's going on?!"
Edith and Magda stood up at the same time, hurried to the side of woman A who had come in, and followed her on the left and right.
Shi Hanqiao didn't answer. She gathered her hair, unzipped her coat, took it off, and walked over in two steps.
Luo Wusheng lowered his head and glanced at the screen. At the bottom were three messages he had sent in succession, and above that was the message from the Demon Lord.
His brows furrowed unconsciously. He couldn't understand why the Demon Lord was chatting with him happily ten minutes ago, but suddenly there was no message.
A shadow covered the top of his head. Luo Wusheng looked up and met a pair of eyes that flashed with mania. Water droplets dripped from his eyelashes and slid down the sides of his nose. His wet black hair stuck to his fair neck. His upper body coat was almost completely wet and was held in her hand.
Under the black sports vest, the waist is not thin, and the abdomen is a thin layer of muscle. A few scattered water droplets follow the arc to outline a line full of power.
A black shadow passed by his eyes, and a strong wind whistled past. Luo Wusheng suddenly felt a familiar feeling. His wet coat fell into the trash can, and the sound with a slightly unpleasant atmosphere dispelled all the feelings. He watched Shi Hanqiao sit down calmly, took out a towel from the space button and put it on his head. He rubbed his hair dry in a few strokes, rolled up the towel into a ball, and threw it to accompany the wet clothes.
Magda and Edith hesitated whether to abandon each other obviously and sit next to Shi Hanqiao. The figure of Man O next to them moved faster and stood in front of her in a flash.
"Thank you for what I did just now. If it weren't for you, I would have been in such a mess."
The voice of male O is full of fearful joy, with the ending sound rising, like a feather brushing across the earlobe, which is very pleasant to hear.
The scene was silent for a while. Shi Hanqiao had no awareness of being an Alpha. He adjusted his posture and sat down on the sofa with a straight back. He raised his head with a slightly decadent look in response to the awkward silence.
She looked at Man O, looked him up and down, and didn't recognize him.
"Who are you?"
Man O wrung his hands together before he finally realized how to introduce himself. "Hello, my name is Luo Wei. I'm glad you..."
Before he could finish his words, Luo Wusheng felt the person next to him stiffen, and her voice interrupted the other person's thanks.
"Which two words?"
Luo Wei took a half step back, her heart pounding with fear. It took her a long time to recover from the Alpha's sharp and dark gaze. She mumbled, "Luo as in camel, Wei as in tiny."
Shi Hanqiao lost interest halfway through listening. He touched the ends of his hair, took out a new coat and put it on, then leaned back on the sofa. His whole body was filled with laziness, and his original strong aura silently subsided, and there was no trace of it.
"What just happened?"
"Why are you all wet?"
Edith and Magda sat down together. Seeing that Shi Hanqiao was resting with his eyes closed and did not answer, they turned their curious eyes to Luo Wei.
"Just now, someone triggered the smoke alarm, and the starship's automatic sprinklers went off. Everyone was in chaos, and there was almost a stampede. I was pushed down, and she pulled me up and saved me." Luo Wei glanced sideways at the Alpha next to her with gratitude and a hint of admiration in her tone. "She climbed to the top of the starship in just a few steps and turned off the automatic sprinklers. The teacher watching from the side was full of praise."
Hearing his words, Shi Hanqiao, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyelids and glanced at the Star Brain screen. Hunyuan Bell had sent a detailed message with a photo on it.
She would be "face-blind" to people she was not interested in, but Luo Wei's words aroused her interest, and she naturally remembered what had just happened.
Shi Hanqiao did not refute his words, but closed his eyes again, with the corners of his mouth raised, as if smiling.
The ship's hull shook slightly, indicating that the staff had eliminated all safety hazards. The starship engraved with the Sphinx logo officially carried the new life to the original planet.
In all the lounges, unless the ten people were familiar with each other, there was more or less some awkwardness. However, as the voyage got on track, the silence was gradually broken.
Magda and Edith, who were sitting close to each other, started chatting. The topic turned to countless topics. Magda clicked on the screen and sighed again: "Alas, Mo Zun hasn't been online for a long time."
Luo Wusheng quickly looked up from the dialog box with no message.
"Demon Lord?"
Shi Hanqiao, who was half asleep and half awake, shuddered and woke up instantly.
