The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 606 Undercurrents (Part 2)

The students in these central academies are facing the same situation as Jiang Hui and his classmates. After all, the unified enrollment is open to the entire interstellar space, not just a special program for a single region.

However, their goals differ from those of students in the lower star regions. Those who can attend intermediate academies in the central star region are either wealthy or powerful, and their chances of attending higher education institutions are higher than those in the lower star regions. In fact, if their connections are strong enough, applying to directly affiliated higher education institutions is relatively easy.

However, this doesn't mean they all want to get admitted through direct or special admissions, comfortably entering the university. These privileged individuals and the descendants of high-potential awakened individuals look down on such channels, and even some directly affiliated higher education institutions have different attitudes towards students admitted through different methods. If they want the same treatment as regular students, they should naturally opt for general or direct admissions. Special admissions or admission through quotas are not impossible, but they will likely be discriminated against or treated like royalty.

Therefore, those with a bit of ambition still choose to personally participate in the unified entrance examination.

They also wanted to personally compete with their peers across the entire galaxy to see who was the shining star of this generation.

Therefore, students from various intermediate colleges in the central star region are more enthusiastic about registering than anyone else. The official website's reservation system is almost overwhelmed by them, as they all want to ensure that they can register successfully without any mistakes.

Intermediate Academy of Regulation
With the national unified entrance examination just around the corner, and all majors having completed their professional courses, these students from wealthy families were clearly not satisfied with ordinary courses.

They were also attending height-increasing classes, hoping to make a splash in the college entrance exams two weeks later. Therefore, after the school gave them a break to adjust, they all went home for private lessons. The third-grade area of ​​the school became unusually quiet, with almost no one around.

Gelug Intermediate Academy is one of those elite academies with a very small student body but exorbitant prices. They're not short of money, and each grade is divided into separate zones, with no communication or interaction between zones. With all the third-year students gone, this zone was naturally empty, with hardly anyone to be seen.

However, there are exceptions. Some students are confident in themselves and don't mind taking a little more time to improve, so they maintain their normal routines.

The restaurant was completely empty, yet its decor was opulent and luxurious. Warm yellow lighting bathed the air, and the enticing aroma of food filled the atmosphere. If it weren't located on campus, it would undoubtedly have the ambiance of a high-end restaurant.

However, this meticulously decorated restaurant currently only has one table occupied. No, strictly speaking, there are only two students.

The two were clearly used to the spaciousness and relaxed in the environment, showing no signs of discomfort.

"I thought you would choose to go home?" The boy glanced disdainfully at the person opposite him.

"And what about you? Why aren't you going home?" Ji Yunshan asked back, then casually poked at the food on her plate. Although her movements weren't very elegant, they carried a sense of ease.

He'd been tricked again. Springer thought to himself, "This woman is unassuming, but she's really something."

Anyone who actually thinks she's a quiet, unassuming lady is a fool. They might get poisoned one day without even realizing it; she's a venomous snake that prefers to lurk in the shadows.

He chuckled lightly, clearly used to the other party's style of throwing questions back at him directly: "It's just a small matter, why worry so much? I think those guys are blinded by their desire for victory."

"Heh, if those people heard you, they'd tear you apart on the spot. And 'small matter'... only you would say that." The girl mocked without any attempt to hide her laughter, but then her expression became somewhat subtle as she thought about it: "But you're right, it really is a small matter, isn't it? What happened to us on Atlantis last time was much more exciting than this." Springer felt a headache coming on just thinking about it. He really didn't want to mention that awful place again; that trip had left him with psychological trauma, and he still hadn't recovered.

"...It's been so long, you haven't gotten over it yet, have you?" Ji Yunshan saw through his abnormality at a glance and mocked him mercilessly.

"What shadow?" someone denied and argued, "Don't talk to me about that... I remember that person frantically asking when reinforcements would arrive."

Ji Yunshan didn't care about this at all, because it was indeed the truth: "Isn't that how it always is? I've seen many people much older than me who aren't much better off. I'm just an ordinary student, isn't it normal for me to be scared?"

"Besides, this whole mess is entirely our own fault. First, internal strife caused us to fail our exams, and then an internal traitor caused the star beast attack. If it weren't for those... useless soldiers, we wouldn't be in this situation."

Springer fell silent, knowing the other person was telling the truth. It has to be said that family power is truly important sometimes; comparisons are really odious.

Slimpug is also a famous noble family, but it is far inferior to the Ji family. The Ji family is not only powerful, but also has a large population and many talented people.

Even the major powers in the capital are very wary of the Ji family.

Ji Yunshan was rescued, but the matter didn't end so easily. To seek justice for their child, Ji Yunshan's family mobilized considerable resources, directly extorting substantial compensation from the culprit. Then, they simply handed it over to Ji Yunshan.

How could the compensation from that high-ranking military official be anything less than excellent? It made Springer extremely envious.

Both suffered, and although he was also angry, he didn't have the same confidence. The two situations were truly worlds apart, but he would never admit it.

"Speaking of which..." As she pondered, the girl opposite her seemed to recall something, a meaningful glint flashing in her eyes: "There are exceptions, I've heard that one is truly formidable—"

Slimpger acquiesced, because he didn't know what to say.

He knew who the other person was referring to. The one who had seemed strange from the first meeting, and who had indeed acted in a way that differed from their expectations. But none of that compared to the shock they felt afterward when they heard about the other person's actions during the disaster.

She saved over a hundred people in the chaos, and beyond the exaggerated descriptions in the reports, that is truly commendable; that is her noble act.

However, the fact that the other party personally killed an A-rank star beast... truly caused a huge uproar in their hearts. An ordinary person who had never received any training used a mecha of unknown rank to single-handedly kill an A-rank swamp turtle? No one would believe it if they heard it.

Anyway, when they got home, they privately consulted the teachers who were teaching at their home. They also felt that the story was just exaggerated and that there was definitely some exaggeration involved. In any case, the real situation could not possibly have been so brutal and direct...
