The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Inside the spacious and bright lobby, young people dressed in various styles filed in, their energetic faces filled with anticipation for the future. Of course, a small number of them had already gotten into character, having changed into the military uniforms issued by the school, showing a bit more restraint, but still unable to suppress their youthful spirit.

This is the recreation area of ​​the Imperial United Military Academy, and the group of people currently active here are all new students admitted this year. They arrived a few days earlier than other grades to adjust to their new campus life.

However, it is only the third day of school and the formal assembly and training have not yet begun. As a result, students from all departments seem somewhat undisciplined, and some students have not even reported to school for various reasons.

Three days is enough time for someone with a keen eye to discover quite a bit.

As its name suggests, the Imperial United Military Academy is a military academy, one of the ten directly affiliated higher education institutions under the Empire's leadership. It has a long history and enjoys an extremely high reputation within the Empire.

Although it doesn't have the prestigious status of the capital's military academy, nor the profound heritage of the empire's top military academy, and certainly not the wealthy and powerful aristocratic colleges, it is still a top-tier institution of higher learning that is well-balanced in all aspects and has no weaknesses.

For most students, information about the Joint Military Academy is readily available, and some students with strong backgrounds even choose to enroll only after thoroughly understanding the institution. The interstellar era is also an era of highly developed information, so the new students here don't appear as naive as the university students reporting to Earth; they all seem remarkably confident, mature, and composed.

Of course, people will instinctively stick together when they arrive in a new environment, and many students have already built their own small communities in the college.

Their conversations mostly revolved around recent interstellar events, such as the bloodshed caused by the gate splitting on Moonfall Star last month, and the chain of troop deployment changes triggered by the border resurgence battle a few days ago. In general, these young people who are determined to protect the safety of the empire in the future are already very much like prospective military academy students.

However, they only know the basics. After all, no matter how illustrious their background, at this age they are still considered "young birds" who need protection, so even if they know something, they won't know much about it.

Therefore, apart from some dubious current affairs rumors, their conversations mainly revolved around the unified entrance examination before enrollment, which remains a hot topic even several months later.

Although all universities have unified admissions every year, this is the only year in which they are involved. Apart from that, no matter how many generations before or after them, it has nothing to do with them.

Speaking of this year's unified college entrance examination, it can be considered an extremely special year, if not unprecedented, because this year's unified college entrance examination saw a huge number of unexpected choices.

The top spot on the unified recruitment list, which had always been monopolized by the upper-class families, was now occupied by someone who was essentially from a poor family. This caused a huge uproar among the upper class.

This is big news that should make those "upper-class people" lose face. They think their descendants are exceptionally talented, they highly value so-called background and bloodline, and they spend countless resources from the bottom up to support young talented people—but in the end, they can't compare to someone who came from a completely unorthodox background. I imagine those old guys must be feeling quite ashamed lately.

Naturally, those stubborn old fogies wouldn't have a good attitude towards someone who broke their rules like this "variable." Some even harbored ill will towards this "troublemaker" who disrupted their plans. If it weren't for the shadowy shadow of the Zhou family behind Jiang Hui, she would probably have already been targeted by some of these guys.

The people were temporarily unable to move, but the other party's sudden appearance had indeed disrupted their situation.

After that day, countless forces rushed to investigate this dark horse. The girl's short life trajectory of just over a decade was traceable. Although Star 732 naturally enjoyed the protection of the Zhou family, preventing outside forces from easily offending it, and Zhou Yuanjing tried his best to conceal some information about Jiang Hui, nothing stays secret forever; as long as one lives, traces will remain. Soon, some basic information about Jiang Hui, even her experiences before she became habitable and settled in a star system, were unearthed by certain people with ulterior motives, leading to the conclusion that she was a rather ordinary person.

Oh, someone who could outshine all the top talents in the intergalactic unified entrance examination was certainly not an "ordinary" person; "ordinary" only refers to her life background.

Although his parents were both promising military officers of the previous generation, they died prematurely on the battlefield. He left his family in a fit of pique, which, while not exactly a help, could still be considered a platform, and went to study at a secondary school with poor educational conditions in all aspects. Apart from a few special descendants of prominent families in the school he attended, his background was completely barren.

In fact, there have been outstanding commoners in interstellar history. After all, with such a huge population, a few would occasionally emerge over the years.

But this time it was too sudden, as if it suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Among the many talented prodigies who rose from the ground, it was like an unstoppable star that instantly made the stars of others pale in comparison. It has to be said that it is truly a remarkable achievement.

"So you've seen it?"

"I've been hearing about it recently, and I've seen reports and photos, but I've actually seen it."

"She also enrolled in our school this year. With her ranking, even if she can't get into the first class of special forces, she should be close to the second or third class."

"I can tell from your voice that you haven't done your homework well. There's no way you could be in the same class. This class is specially set up for students with special and distinguished backgrounds. There's no benefit for you to go there, and you might even be ostracized. The school won't destroy good students."

"That's true, I know that. The person is supposedly in Class Two, which is where my cousin is. He told me that himself yesterday."

"Huh?! Your cousin, there are only about twenty people in Class Two, and each of them has a 'renowned reputation.' Who are they? I'm more interested in that one—"

"Hey, what I meant was to tell you about that legendary top information, not to let you dig up my network. Uh oh, I'm not going to tell him. If he finds out I'm gossiping outside, that guy will kill me."

The three-person group, who had been exchanging pleasantries, instantly turned into a chaotic mess, showing none of the demeanor expected of top students from the Imperial United Military Academy.

As for the lounge chair where the three of them were playing around, the handsome young man rested his chin on his hand with a slightly melancholy look and said, "When will Ah Hui finally get here? Sigh—" If he doesn't come soon, we'll really be late.
