Chapter 275: 8.2 First Blue Star - First Military Academy

Somewhere in the Empire's Outer Space Territory.

A huge spaceship was currently patrolling at the space checkpoints. These soldiers were all wearing black federal uniforms overlooking the wide horizon of black space before them.

There were holographic screens spread around the interior of the spacecraft recording the whole live feed of the current state of the area.

The soldiers were all trained to be ready for a battle anytime. Just based on their subtle movements their body's strength was above average compared to normal soldiers.

Among them, one is clearly a gem polished to perfection. His figure is perfectly refined by the Gods themselves. The aura around him is elegant and at the same time emits a dangerous and evil vibe. His sharp eyes were a bit downcast while looking at the screen in front of him.

Black hair which looks as soft as satin from the distance, tall nose, sharp jaws, and thin lips. When those obsidian orbs stare at someone, one couldn't be helped by instinctively shivers as they could instantly feel the huge difference they have from this man.

His features were distinguishing down to every small detail. Especially the still military stellar uniform made this person awe-inspiring and inviolable. Coupled with his solemn and unapproachable aura one would dare to directly look at his person.

At this moment this man is video calling with an elegant lady that possesses features similar to his especially the color of their hair. Within the screen in front of him, a small window shows the scene within which the First Military Academy plays. It was the scene of Feng Jing.

Mrs. Altair spoke, "Did you see the fairy-like child? He is supposed to be one of your tentative engagement partners but it seems that the Feng Clan isn't willing to send away their precious baby. What to do? Sirius, are you listening?"

The man who emits perfection is none other than the youngest marshal in the Empire's Federation, Altair Sirius. Mrs. Altair expected his workaholic son to ignore her words as usual and end the call one-sidedly. But she didn't expect her son to fall in a daze even a few seconds after getting to rebuke him.

Mrs. Altair spoke, "Hello? Sirius...?"

Falling out of daze Altair Sirius moves his gaze from the same window to his mother's face. The emotion on his face remains void.

"Mother. Can you stop calling me for this... nonsense? I'm on duty." said Sirius.

The mother of this cold-faced marshal had given her son a meaningful smile. She noticed her son's short, weird state just now.

"Hah~ geez, what is this old lady supposed to do if you grow up alone. So what if you are a Marshal! Son, I want a daughter-in-law to bring me home one!"

Marshal Altair directly ignores his mother's chatterbox mode. His eyes look at the spaceship window but one could see him peeking through the corner of his eyes silently watching someone's figure on the holographic screen.

This is of course noticed by his mother but didn't dare mention it on purpose instead she continues to nag at her son until the marshal's ears suffer from ringing.

"Hah~ Son, let's talk about something else. The truth is your father and this old lady are going out for a honey course for a week. But unfortunately, there is this examination or competition scheduled at the First Military Academy. Your father was tasked to look for new cadets and officers to join the corps. Since the Phoenix Brigade is under our jurisdiction your father is supposed to come over as observer." said Mrs. Altair.

Marshal Altair lightly glanced at his mother's face but didn't say a thing. He was willing to listen but for the rest, he needs to see.

"Someone from Marshal Junas' side is going. It's that Major General Draco. This child is quite popular among the youngsters if you don't come to your father's instead then... We'll lose all the new blood to him."

The Marshal had spoken, "Isn't Feng Yang already there? He should be enough."

"Of course! He would be there. His baby brother is a participant. There is no way that boy would be able to focus on the other cadets with their family's darling being in. This old lady is telling you to watch the others! Especially that one from Old Bastard Janus's side!"

"I'm busy," said the Marshal.

Mrs. Altair declared, "You are going to come over. The royal family and the president would be there as well. As a member of the Altair Family, it is your responsibility to become our representative when we're not there!"

"Just cancel your wedding anniversary trip."

Snorts!

Mrs. Altair snorted and said, "I will have someone come to you and bring you to the event's location. It would be a month from now. Don't forget!" Then she one-sidedly cut off their call from her side. Leaving a black screen for the youngest marshal to see.

His right-hand man, Lieutenant General Xue Ying, approached discretely and asked, "Marshal, what should we do? Are we attending?"

This Lieutenant General Xue is a distant cousin of the Feng descendants from their grandad's side. He works directly under Marshal Altair like Feng Yan but he works with the Marshal's Fallen God Troops which is under the full control of the Altair Family.

Marshal Altair didn't respond right away and took a whole minute before answering.

"There's still a month to think over." said Altair Sirius, "For now tell them I might attend."

"Yes, sir. As you command," said General Xue.

Meanwhile, in Marshal Altair's mindscape, his quantum beast had been causing ruckus ever since he had seen Feng Jing's crying and smiling expressions. No one else knew the turmoil his heart had suffered when he saw him cry and was left dazed when he saw his smiles.

Materializing in thin air is a huge black dragon surprising everyone on board the ship. This quantum beast is the Marshal's other half as a Sentinel. This huge dragon acted like a dog moving his Master's hand towards the hologram screen asking him to play the video where Feng Jing appears.

Sirius asked, "You want to see him, Cielo?"

The black dragon nods his head and focuses his inhuman eyes on the playing video on the screen. His Cielo is obviously interested in Feng Jing alone. This hasn't happened ever since he was born. At some point, the Marshal even believes that he is asexual.

Altair Sirius's eyes also watch the video before him through his eyes and expressions remain void and nonexistent.

Back to First Military Academy

After the misunderstanding made by the original Feng Jing had been cleared, his grandparents and Elder brother pulled him into the Dean's office. The dean is a good friend of Feng Xuan. This is the reason why Feng Jing was almost able to do anything he wanted in the Academy.

A set of tea was served for them to enjoy. The dean was seated with them silently drinking tea with the patriarch and matriarch of Feng Clan. Feng Yang on the other hand asked for black coffee while Feng Jing wanted iced Cafe au lait.

Within that quiet room, only the sound of Feng Jing slurping his drink with a straw can be heard. The dean was sneaking a peek at Feng Jing, this problem child of their family. His usual arrogance is gone and obediently lowers his head as he steals a stare at the dean with a guilty expression on his cute face.

Dean thought, "T-This child... Though I've to watch that video from the star network a few hours ago, it might be a bit hard to believe when just seeing it in the video but... Seeing him like this seems to be the truth."

Xue Xia, this former marshal spoke, "Darling you've been staring at the dean for a while now. Is there something you wish to say, dear?" asked his grandad.

Feng Jing nods his head like a pecking chicken. He looks too adorable acting like a child of his age. Then suddenly they saw him stand up and gesture a salute showing his respect to the elders. With one hand on his chest, Feng Jing lowered his head in front of the elder.

"Feng Jing wants to formally apologize to Big Yeye, Xiao Yeye, the dean and elder brother for all the actions this one had made and the circumstances. Feng Jing is willing to take responsibility for everything that's been done."

The dean's name is Astra Regulus. He is someone from the royal family. The brother of the current emperor.

Astra stared at the polite young man in front of him and nudged his friend with an elbow in his surprise.

"Lao Xuan is that still really your youngest!?" whispered the dean to his friend.

Feng Xuan answered back, "Nonsense! If Xiao Jing is not my grandson, is he yours!?"

"Hehehe~ Xiao Jing. Grandpa Astra had a question for you. Why is it that you've chosen Bai Yuyan as your target for the bully... I mean why to ask the awakened boy for a challenge?" asked Dean Astra.

Feng Jing upon checking his memories according to the original plot. It seems that the original Bai Yuyan before the Soul was replaced by the proud Mercenary King from the other world, did seem to agree to the original Feng Jing's plan of being bullied under the live stream of the star network. In exchange, Feng Jing would pay for the rest of his tuition until he graduated and after the battle, he would be sent to Feng Clan's Hospital and be immediately treated.

But unfortunately, the protagonist shou had transmigrated before the battle. Without steadily digesting the memories of the original Bai Yuyan the Mercenary King had beaten up the original Feng Jing to half dead. Only afterward does the Mercenary King merge his original memories from the former owner of the body he has now.

But at that time it was already too late as he had already offended the Feng Clan for almost killing their youngest descendant. He had no other choice but to grab the power the protagonist gong is being backed up with to protect himself.

Feng Jing's thoughts, "Obviously the protagonist shou of this world didn't stay by the side of the protagonist gong in the name of love instead it's because of the contract he had signed with General Draco." He smiles coldly in response.

On the other hand, in reality, is an expression in contrast to his real one. Wearing an innocent face Feng Jing answered the old dean's question.

"Because he is the one who needs financial help the most among the other common people. There are rumors saying that he had failed to awaken as a guide and the school is about to take back his allowance for living in exchange for his scholarship not being rebuked.

The one who suggests this type of plan is also him. He says for a righteous clan like the Altair Family who sees others for their talents without regards to their origins, they would definitely hate to marry their scion to me who bullies commoners and the Altair Family would definitely break the engagement as long as one saw me bullying the weak.

But I wasn't planning on beating him up. I'm only going to pretend to hit him, that's all." answered Feng Jing.

Almost everyone in the room had their face turned serious.

Feng Xuan spoke, "Astra, since when did this First Military Academy one take away someone's allowance to extend someone's Scholarship. The scholarship is a permanent reward per its duration. How long is that child's scholarship duration?"

"Hm~ if this old man is not wrong, Bai Yuyan is within the top ten of most outstanding lists in the academy. Even though the child of the common birth he had the intelligence. Physique rank C potential A. Spirit is A. Overall potential S. His scholarship should last until he graduates." says Dean Astra. "Xiao Jing, can you call for Bai Yuyan for Astra Yeye?"

Feng Jing nods his head once to show his agreement.

historical

"Please excuse Xiao Jing for a moment. Grandpas, Gege." said Feng Jing.

"Um. Return as soon as possible. We'll wait for you here. Let's go home together." said Feng Xuan.

Xue Xia said, "My darling don't follow strangers okay?"

"I won't Xiao Yeye," answered Feng Jing while smiling innocently.

[Host please don't smile like that. It is really creepy.]

Though the smile on Feng Jing's on the surface is immovable his smile within his soul is twitching after hearing his system's rude words. He had to bash the kid's head to show his anger. Within the spirit realm of Feng Jing, a small moon is planted like a seed glowing like a night pearl. They had a conversation while walking in the hallway.

BANG!

[Owiee~]

Feng Jing went out of the dean's office and his innocent facade faded similarly as well.

"Stop fooling around Yue. Show me where my dear toy... Cough! The protagonist shou of this world."

[Yue will show the map and location indicator for Bai Yuyan's location to the host mind. He seems to be in the dormitory for commoners. But the host should treat the protagonist of each world as your toys.]

Feng Jing responded, "As long as I can enjoy myself then I don't care for anything else. Moreover, I haven't found my husband in this world yet. Playing around with him should be enough entertainment for now."

[Haven't the host played enough in the last world?]

"Making me wear women's clothing? Is that fun for me?"

[But the Lord God had enjoyed it quite well. Didn't the host have fun too?]

"Hmp! Just a bit. But two is still too much!"

First Military Academy

Dormitory

Only commoners stay at the academy's dormitory as most descendants of the noble and rich clans still have to continue their responsibilities for the clan after school. Things like home school, training, and learning how to handle their family's businesses. Especially those heirs who were busy with things in their clans, this is why it is rare for students with a noble bloodline to stay at the academy after school.

The dormitory for the commoners had a simple setting. In one huge room, two double-decker beds were placed on each side. With a long table in the middle and four wardrobes for students.

The appearance of the young man slumbering is quite good. He has what the others call a cute little brother type. Delicate features, peach blossom eyes, small nose, and kissable lips. Just based on these traits this little is definitely a cute type. This person is Bai Yuyan

Bai Yuyan's pale face is covered with cold sweat. Lying in the bed he is designated with, he was gritting his teeth in his sleep obviously his state is something normal. He had been suffering from a high fever since last night after overworking himself with his part-time jobs.

But no one was in the room as his roommates had gone home as it was the weekend. No one knows that the original Bai Yuyan had died that time and the soul in that body was replaced by someone else.

As he woke up, the throbbing feeling in his head was almost unbearable. Bai Yuyan could only use his hand to rub his temples trying to ease the pain.

"Urgh~ what the hell is this pain? Did I drink too much last night?"

The soul inside the body had already been replaced by someone who was known as the Mercenary King, when he opened his eyes revealing orbs with purple shade, a glint of vigilance and confusion passed through when he saw an unfamiliar surrounding.

The Mercenary King uttered in surprise, "Where the hell am I?"
