Chapter 248: Entering the Academy

er. Her ancestors had produced a top scholar, and she herself had attended private school. It was only because of the warlord chaos that her entire family was killed by the infamous Yuan warlord. Bec...The United Empire First Military Academy is so popular with parents not only because of its high-quality hardware facilities, but also because of its strong faculty. The teachers here are all truly talented and knowledgeable.

Especially the combat teachers, almost all of them have been on the battlefield. They retired for various reasons and were directly hired by the First Military Academy.

The Dean of the academy once said that the students they cultivate will be the pillars of the Empire in the future, going to the front lines, so they need real skills. They can't just learn from books; teachers must teach students the most practical survival and combat techniques. They don't do those fancy things.

Because the school had a clear direction, the students who graduated from the First Military Academy, after entering the five major legions as adults, gradually emerged and performed well on the battlefield. This also resulted in the First Military Academy becoming a hall-level academy throughout the empire.

Even the Five Great Generals only have one recommendation spot per semester. This indirectly reflects Wu Yishan's practice of favoring some over others. So Lian Yi used this reason to counter the other party, who had no comeback because this admission spot cannot be bought with star coins or power.

The First Military Academy also has this privilege because the five generals who guarded the empire made great contributions, and the five military corps are the main source of students for the Military Academy. However, there is only one quota and it is limited to direct relatives.

Even if Ripples changed her name, changed her guardianship, she wouldn't be considered a direct relative. However, her own strength was undeniable, and the academy was willing to bend the rules to keep such a talented student. That's why Ripples entered the First Military Academy without any hindrance.

At this moment, seated on a levitating commute car, Lian Ri opened the military academy's map and carefully looked over every place she would be spending the next twelve years. There was the teaching building, the library, the dining hall, the physical training room, the mecha operation training room, the sparring ground, the virtual combat room, and even leisure and entertainment, shopping areas—it was like a whole city.

After Ripple quickly recorded this, she closed the light screen of her intelligent brain. She had already asked Ian to order a single-person hovering car for use on campus, which would be delivered in two days. This way, it would be convenient for her to travel within the academy, and she decided not to take the commuter bus next time.

Because at this moment, she was surrounded by emptiness, with no one standing near her. However, just two steps away, the students were crowded together. Some stared directly at her, while others would glance at her for a moment and then quickly shift their gaze, whispering something to their classmates before turning back to look at her again.

Some have already opened their "Zhiniao" (presumably a term for an AI assistant or similar) and started live streaming, with catchy titles like: "My First Day Meeting My Male God!" The genius scholar and I rode the commuter train together. After putting on white school uniforms due to ripples, his unique charm became even more prominent. The video quickly spread at the speed of light.

The ripples felt a surge of impulsiveness, even in the Cultivation World, there was no such blatant behavior. Before, at least they could release their pressure, but here, if you randomly release your spiritual energy, you will be tracked. If it causes any negative impact, you would be punished.

So Ripples decides to maintain her cool persona and keep a certain distance from everyone.

When she reached the teaching building for 3rd grade, a group of people came down. Ripple got off the car and took a deep breath before going straight to report at Class A of 3rd grade.

Class A only had twenty students, all of whom were the elite among elites. After three years of study, they were ultimately left on Class A. Their own strength and background were beyond doubt, and even their appearance was top-notch. They were truly the gathering place for the proud sons of heaven.

It's not time for class yet, and everyone is gathered in groups, chatting about the ripple effect of someone who is going to join their class today.

Of course, for those about to become companions, they all received the news from different channels. Everyone compiled the information together, and they also had a general understanding of Du Hongtu.

"It seems our fellow student Du is quite a character. From being a slacker to becoming a genius, who knows how much he's put in At least it proves he's a capable person, otherwise he wouldn't be directly transferred here."

"Need I say more! The video that went viral online yesterday, don't tell me you haven't seen it."

A slightly chubby boy was eating the fruit in his hand and chatting with his classmate next to him, but looking at the expression on his face while eating the fruit, it seemed quite bitter and resentful.

"Hill, if you don't want to eat, just don't. Don't make that face that affects your appetite, okay"

Aside, Annie with her fiery red hair and pale skin rolled her eyes.

"The teacher said I'm overweight and that I better get back to my standard weight before this weekend, or else she'll kick me out of Class A."

Hill said with a sorrowful face.

"You deserved it! Who let you indulge yourself during your vacation, overeating and neglecting your physical training If not you, then who!"

On one side, Kate with her black hair and brown eyes, immediately pointed out the reason for Hill's weight gain.

"Oh my! Heavens be witness, I'm naturally predisposed to weight gain. Even drinking water makes me put on pounds. There's nothing I can do about it. A week before school started, I went on a strict diet."

"Hey! We're going off-topic again. What expression do you think General Wu would have if Du Hongtu made a comeback as a dark horse"

Anne timely brought the topic back.

"A face-palm expression, please! And I heard he took his illegitimate son back home, who also became a freshman with excellent grades. There's going to be more drama soon."

Kate's eyes flickered, and she spoke in a soft voice.

"There's still a difference between first and third grade. The two people don't have many chances to meet unless one of them takes the initiative."

Hill swallowed the last mouthful of fruit, suppressing the urge to vomit, and then said:

"Thick-skinned people always get some advantages. Besides, Wu Lianbo didn't grow up with General Wu, so in terms of upbringing and personal cultivation, he's definitely not as good as Wu Du Hongtu. So let's just wait and see!"

As the discussion ended, it was just time for class to begin. Everyone had just returned to their seats when homeroom teacher Ms. Song walked into the classroom with a smile on her face.

"This is Du Hongtu. He passed the advanced examination and is now a student in our Class A. I hope you will all get along well in the future."

Ripples stepped forward and politely greeted everyone:

"Hello everyone, my name is Du Hongtu, I'm honored to be your classmate, you can call me Hongtu."

Then, sparse applause filled the classroom, a welcome for Ripples' arrival.

Ripples doesn't mind, it's the first time they meet, and there will be a long time to get along in the future, no need to rush.

The first class was about mecha construction. Compared to the general introduction in the first year, the third-year course was much more in-depth and detailed. Lianyi listened very carefully because Du Zifeng had given her private lessons on this subject. She had already learned the content beforehand, so this time it was just a review.

After the morning classes ended, Lian Yi closed the light screen in front of her and prepared to go to the cafeteria for a quick bite. She wasn't very picky about food.

Just as I reached the entrance of the teaching building, Annie, my classmate, walked over with her flowing red hair swinging behind her, and said with a smile:

"I'm Annie, your classmate."

"Hello."

"Someone at the teaching building entrance is looking for you. They ask everyone if they know where their brother's class is."he other."Aren't they all under your control Will you allow them to take private jobs"It doesn't matter, they took on private jobs and have to give us a cut, or else we won't take responsibility if an...
