Chapter 103: Chapter 103: History 2 (Extra for alliance leader Dong You Ling Yu) (4th update)

All the photos were group shots, where each young student smiled brilliantly, and a specific date could be seen in the bottom right corner of each photo.

"Imperial Court Academy Old Era 4563, Medical 2nd class, graduating class."

"Imperial Court Academy Old Era 4571, Mecha 9th class, graduating class."

"Imperial Court Academy Old Era 4575, Command Department 3rd class, graduating class."

...

Su Ming and the others, looking at these photographs, felt increasingly burdened. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Teacher, why are some of the portraits dug out?"

A refined male student, led by Alfam, asked in confusion.

"The dug-out portraits represent those who were expelled and could not graduate. Not everyone can graduate from Imperial Court Academy; each year, many unqualified students must be weeded out! However, you do not need to worry. Although this year only over ten thousand students were admitted, each one of you is outstanding and should be able to graduate."

Alfam glanced at his students and spoke with satisfaction.

This year’s city exam was personally overseen by the Imperial Court Sect, so there wouldn’t be an issue with the students admitted.

"I see."

The crowd of students nodded in response.

"Of course, those with their portraits dug out aren’t all non-graduates; some were special cases, such as traitors and those who retreated on the battlefield, marked with disgrace, and they are not qualified to be placed on the Wall of Honor."

Alfam added calmly.

"Yes, naturally."

The refined student affirmed resolutely.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to see some other things."

Alfam then led the group towards other smaller sculptures in the square.

Su Ming hurriedly led his classmates and followed them closely; since he couldn’t lead the tour by himself, he had to follow other classes.

At this time, the students of Mechanical 3rd Class noticed that Su Ming and his peers were following them.

They whispered among themselves.

"They are following us."

"Right, I noticed too, where is their teacher?"

"Their teacher is that drunk one we saw earlier."

"Ah, that’s tough, having such a teacher."

...

Su Ming and the others felt a bit embarrassed, but there was nothing they could do.

At this moment, Alfam stopped, turned to his students, and scolded them sternly.

"Be quiet. What are you laughing at? This is a cemetery!"

Suddenly, all of Alfam’s students became solemn, and everyone fell silent.

Alfam looked back at Su Ming and his group, frowning slightly, he asked Su Ming.

"You’re the class president, aren’t you?"

"Yes, I am class president Su Ming."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

"Keep up with your classmates, and do not fall behind!"

With a brisk wave of his hand, Alfam then led the group towards a female statue ahead.

Su Ming’s eyes lit up immediately; Imperial Court Academy’s teachers were really good; it seemed they were just unlucky to have gotten an unreliable teacher.

He hurriedly led his classmates to catch up with Professor Alfam’s group.

Soon they arrived in front of the female statue, depicting a short-haired woman in battle armor radiating a heroic aura.

"Alimis! A famous hero of the Federation, who defended the Black Flame Star frontline during the battle with the Mechanical Clan a hundred years ago. When all seemed lost, she single-handedly slew the Mechanical Clan’s Heroic Level ’Abyss Hunter Galster’."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming and the others instantly held the utmost respect.

This city examination had made them profoundly aware of the brutal Battle of Earth Flame Star, which allowed them to imagine the scenes from the Black Flame Star frontline.

In such circumstances, for her to have been able to strongly defeat the enemy’s hero was indeed incredible.

Professor Alfam led the many students to salute the statue, then led everyone out of the square towards other areas of the cemetery.

Su Ming and the others followed Professor Alfam down a small path.

It was then that Su Ming suddenly noticed, at a distant hill, many fresh tombstones with numerous figures in military uniforms gathered around them, led by a tall and elegantly cold woman holding a bunch of flowers.

"Teacher, why are there so many people over there?"

Professor Alfam looked over and said solemnly,

"They are from the Residual Light Army, paying tribute to their deceased comrades."

"Did so many from the Residual Light Army die?"

Many classmates behind Su Ming discussed this in surprise.

Su Ming himself was also quite taken aback; he knew the Residual Light fleet had been damaged, but he hadn’t realized it was so severe.

At that moment, a student named Rhein asked somewhat surprisingly,

"You guys didn’t know about this?"

"We’re not aware; the information online is very limited, we only knew that the Residual Light fleet returned to recuperate,"

Su Ming looked at Rhein and replied.

"That makes sense, you’re not from Starlight City, so it’s normal not to be well-informed. The Residual Light Army was heavily damaged, the losses were extremely severe, and their main ship, Star Hiding, was damaged to the extent of 45 percent, it had to be towed back."

Rhein informed Su Ming and the others of this significantly weighty news.

After hearing this, Su Ming and his classmates were also very startled, and they curiously asked Rhein,

"How did the Residual Light Army get so badly damaged?"

"I’m not too clear on the specifics, but I heard through the grapevine that the Residual Light Army was stationed inside the Abyss of Descent at a newly developed Mining Star. It is said that they discovered rich veins of Energy Crystals! However, during the extraction process, they were discovered by the Chilami Clan, and a battle ensued."

Rhein thought for a moment and then added.

Su Ming and the others were stunned upon hearing ’Abyss of Descent.’

Everyone present knew this name all too well, as it is one of the Three Forbidden Zones of the universe, with the other two being Mist Star Sea and Wormhole Space-time.

It was unexpected that the Federation had reached into that area, but upon reflection, it made sense; where else could they find such rich Energy Crystal Veins other than in a forbidden zone?

"Alright, let’s stop discussing this,"

Professor Alfam said solemnly to all the discussing students.

Everyone promptly quieted down.

Professor Alfam then continued leading them forward, and before long, they reached a secluded small cemetery.

There lay two tombstones side by side.

Professor Alfam bowed deeply towards the tombstones, then introduced to the many students.

"Tamke, Qing Yin, my seniors at the academy, awarded the Federal Government’s first-class combat hero! In the battle at Teboken Transit Country against the Chilami, they killed the General Level Chilami Hefamem."

"Teacher, Teboken Transit Country? Are there other countries and planets outside of Dark Star and Apocalypse?"

Many students asked in puzzlement.

Su Ming and the others were also very curious as they looked at Professor Alfam; honestly, there was very little information available online about the outside of the Old Galaxy.

You simply couldn’t access such information through official channels.
