Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Star Spirit (One more update)

On the ninth day of the interstellar journey.

Inside the training area of Red Teeth, Su Ming, Rhein, and others were controlling Iron Guard Mechas, engaged in one-on-one, simulated combat training!

Mia, watching everyone training, couldn’t resist the urge to pull out a small bottle of liquor from her pocket.

However, Vice Principal Fleck, sitting beside her, fixed her with a sharp glance.

Ever since the last incident, Vice Principal Fleck had fully implemented his own words, supervising Mia’s every class.

Mia could no longer bear it and burst out at Vice Principal Fleck.

"Fleck, do you, a vice principal, really have nothing else to do? Monitoring me in class every day, are you seriously ill or something?"

"Do you still have the nerve to say that? I’m supposed to be in my office, drinking tea, reading the newspaper! If it weren’t for the mess you caused, would I need to do this?"

Fleck seemed even more agitated than Mia.

"Come on, it’s all in the past."

"Don’t say anything, just attend your class, and I’ll sit right here."

"Fine, you win."

Mia, completely out of patience, replied resignedly.

At that moment, Fleck turned to look at the people training, his expression became serious, and he spoke solemnly.

"Mia, is there really nothing you’d reconsider?"

"What now?"

"Won’t you transfer that Su Ming to the inner school? After all, the resources there are better; his prospects would be brighter."

"Damn, I knew you sly old man were up to no good, always trying to steal my talents!"

"I’m discussing something serious here, can you be reasonable?"

"Sure, transferring Su Ming to the inner school is very simple; transfer the whole class over."

Mia’s words were shockingly bold.

Fleck, upon hearing Mia’s words, almost jumped out of his chair, cursing with a dark face.

"What are you joking about? Although other students in your class are excellent, not a single one meets the standards of the inner school...."

"Heh heh, don’t get so worked up, it was just a joke."

Mia, obviously aware that it was impossible, quickly added with a forced smile.

"Hmph~"

Fleck’s expression softened slightly, then he turned to look at the students in training, and after a moment of contemplation, he said somewhat pensively.

"Sigh~ The world has changed so much; who knows how many good days are left."

"What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight?"

Mia replied irritably.

"Are you really clueless, or just pretending? In recent years, the situation has only gotten worse. As Neutral Countries fall one by one, everyone is panicking, and the Federation is plagued with internal troubles and external threats."

"It’s not like this is the first day it’s been like this."

Mia replied nonchalantly.

Fleck said thoughtfully to Mia.

"Mia, do you really plan to keep going like this, have you never thought about returning to the military headquarters?"

"Heh, if I was willing to return to the military headquarters, do you think I’d be living so miserably? In debt? Barely able to afford liquor? Wait, why are you suddenly asking about this? Did someone whisper something in your ear behind the scenes?"

Mia looked at Fleck suspiciously.

"Not at all, I just suddenly remembered and asked casually."

Fleck coughed, pretending to be nonchalant.

"I told you, when I left the military headquarters back then, I made it clear! Even if I die poor or starve to death, I will never return in this lifetime, never ever!"

Mia pounded her chest, firmly making her point.

"Fine! That’s what you said!"

Fleck replied cheerfully.

"Hmph!"

Mia huffed angrily.

"Let’s call it a day, I’m going back to the office for some tea."

Seeing Mia angry, Fleck stood up, hands behind his back, and left.

Mia sighed, turning her head toward Su Ming and the others who were training.

Just then, the entire ship suddenly jolted violently.

Caught off-guard, Zhang Yi and the others watched as multiple mechas tilted and crashed to the ground, making a dull noise.

Su Ming quickly pulled the control stick, narrowly stabilizing the mecha.

"What’s happening?"

"I don’t know!"

"Could we be under attack again?"

"Could it be the Imperial Army breaking through?"

...

Zhang Yi and the others got their mechas up from the ground, discussing anxiously.

"What’s the panic? Look at yourselves. Whether it’s monsters or the Imperial Army, we have so many people, what’s there to fear?"

Mia walked up, scolding Zhang Yi and the others.

Upon hearing Mia, each of them showed an awkward expression.

At that moment, the broadcast came on.

"Dear students and teachers, please do not panic. The ship has encountered the legendary group of Star Spirits on its route, hence the sudden deceleration!"

"Star Spirits?"

Everyone in the training area was stunned upon hearing the broadcast.

Lieutenant An Jie continued over the broadcast.

"The legendary Star Spirits represent the origin of life. Anyone who sees them is said to receive divine blessings, bringing continual good fortune. Furthermore, Star Spirits are extremely rare, appearing once in a millennium. For this reason, Commander Xiao Ye has opened the ship’s observation deck for all students and teachers to view!"

...

"Alright!"

The students in the training area cheered excitedly.

All the teachers spoke up.

"Let’s go!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Upon hearing this, one by one, the students jumped out of their cockpits and ran towards the observation deck, trying to get there first.

Su Ming and the others were no exception, and as for Mia—she ran faster than a rabbit.

Not long after, Su Ming and the others reached the observation area. Through a special glass layer, they saw, not far into the space ahead,

translucent Star Spirits, their bodies radiating blue starlight, resembling both whales and mythical Kuns, massive and stunningly beautiful. They soared freely in the dark cosmos, like brilliant, dazzling stars.

"So beautiful!"

Everyone started taking out their phones to take photos.

Watching the four large and three small Star Spirits before him, Su Ming was also astonished. He hadn’t expected such creatures to exist in this world.

At that moment, a slightly emotional voice sounded from Su Ming’s right.

"To think I’d see Star Spirits in my lifetime."

Su Ming turned to see An Ruoxue standing to his right, gazing at the distant Star Spirits and speaking pensively.

"Is this your first time seeing them too?"

Su Ming asked An Ruoxue.

"My first time as well. These Star Spirits can freely traverse subspace, so they’re normally invisible. They are rumored to be the ’Children of the Universe,’ emissaries of the God of Life. Where they appear, they bring vitality and blessings to that Star Sea,"

An Ruoxue turned her head and smiled at Su Ming.

"Yeah, it’s my first time seeing them too. But such beautiful Star Spirits, isn’t anyone capturing them?"

Su Ming curiously asked. Such beautiful Star Spirits, with such auspicious symbolism, normally one would expect someone would capture them, as beauty is a natural sin.
