From star abyss

"Even if you use thought detection?" Karl sneered. "Next, are we going to have to pay some donations, give some gifts, and build some connections, so that someone can be exempted from the Supreme Council's lecture? I think this is just to make money."

"That's it? That's the nature of politics."

The president of White Candle Interstellar University—Slavinnikov Durgen snorted coldly:

"You young people are always criticizing this and that. If you can achieve your ambitions by being weird and abusive, then the moderator of the Supreme Council should be a noisy crow."

When the principal spoke, others naturally did not dare to choke. Nastisa didn't care about this at all. She looked at the planet outside the window from time to time, her eyes wandering, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Principal Durgen glanced at his absent-minded subordinates and said:

"Nastisa, are you worried about school?"

Nastisa was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes, teacher."

"Nastisa, were you attacked at the delusional school again?" Ye Wangnan asked.

"Hmm..." Nastisa nodded: "I'm still not reassured. Not only our school, but also the entire Trivira, and even White Candle Star, don't have a few strong men above the Zeta level in charge. If someone comes out by then, whats the matter……"

"It's a groundless worry. It's more than just a groundless worry." Master Karl shrugged: "Three years have passed since the Waning Moon incident. We have also introduced and deployed the Higgs force field. Even if he wants to make a comeback, he has no chance. ——Besides, it’s different now that there is a minister sitting in charge, so whoever wants to take action must consider whether he can bear the wrath of Minister Kapaji.”

"I know there's something about that."

Nastisa sighed:

"But now, the situation is so different. The people in the recruitment office have recruited all our Zeta graduates. It's almost impossible to find a few Zeta graduates on such a huge planet. Also, those workshops Lord, I am either obsessed with research or developing the economy and making money, and I really can’t rest assured if I expect them to fight.”

"Hush!" Master Ye Wangnan quickly silenced: "Don't mention the conscription... Be careful when the time comes, they will take you to the Galaxy Eye to fill the line."

"It's not that serious, right?" Karl said differently: "And what happened in the Galaxy Eye Battle has not been revealed yet, right? Teacher Durgen, do you know the situation?"

"Even I don't know very well."

Principal Durgen shook his head:

"As far as I know, too many people have died in the war with the Night Butterfly people. The front-line troops have basically lost all their casualties. The second is the mobilization soldiers between the ages of fifty and one hundred and twenty. They have only withstood one battle. After two years of training, they were thrown into the battlefield. Next, they should be the conscripts of the Zeta level or even the Epsilon level between the ages of 20 and 40..."

Nastisa and others were greatly shocked:

"The Epsilons are already on the battlefield?! If this continues... won't even the Delta level be thrown onto the battlefield, right?"

Durgen said in a heavy tone:

"Perhaps, eventually even mortals will have to go up to the Gamma level."

"It's crazy..." Karl couldn't believe it: "This is simply a meat grinder. After many years of accumulation, the Crystal Tower has a total of two million Zeta levels including the private sector. It can't be almost finished, right? "

"Be prepared." Durgen looked complicated: "Try not to make mistakes now, who knows if the conscripts will throw you to the front line - Nastisa, you should also pay more attention."

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Nastisa guessed something.

"At the beginning of next semester, the mobilization order may be issued. I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the White Candle Star Reserve Force. You, choose carefully... you will apply the magic system. There are many students from lower-level backgrounds. They will be sent first when the time comes. On the battlefield."

Nastisa clenched her fists and stared in disbelief at the mentor who had taught her for more than a hundred years and regarded her as a father.

'why me? Why? ! ’

She asked silently, and the dean of the same level next to her took a half-step back without saying a word.

Duergen had a huge headache:

"I know it's unfair to you. You love the students the most, but you are also a warrior who has survived [society] and fought with citizens and even congressmen. You are the best at fighting and have selected a group of reserves. Soldiers, all Delta-level and above are invited in."

She bit her lower lip, her eyes wavering, but she nodded with difficulty.

In fact, the reason is very simple, and she knows it.

White Candle Interstellar University is a university open to all Crystal Tower civilizations and affiliated planets, and must consider winning people's hearts and diplomatic relations.

The Department of Applied Magic focuses on cultivating application and practical operations. Not to mention all the students here, 80%, are basically ordinary Tanas people with no background.

Most of the other academies are prepared for princes, nobles and wealthy tycoons. They are highly gilded and have relatively sparse applications of magic.

They either study liberal arts, science and art, or they study economics, medical care, finance, politics, diplomacy and other knowledge that the elite class focuses on. They want to go back and inherit the family business.

The recruiting office was too bold to send the sons of dignitaries to fight.

The Department of Applied Magic has no such concerns. Students from here are good at practical operations, are young, simple-minded, and easily ignited by patriotic enthusiasm, making them the most ideal soldiers.

But—why now?

Even if the school graduates are at the Zeta level, even if they can pick up a staff and kill people right after they get up - why can't they wait another ten or eight years so that they have sufficient training?

Nastisa was angry.

Interstellar war, such soldiers will die like dust, meaningless.

The subtext of the principal's words was clearly to let her students be cannon fodder!

Durgen noticed Nastisa's eyes almost spitting out flames, and he felt sorry and ashamed in his heart, but in order to maintain the dignity of the leader, he still kept a straight face and said lightly:

"The adults above have already decided. Besides, we are not the only ones doing this."

He glanced at everyone:

"Yedie, you will do the same thing."

At this point in the war, the war is irreversible. Both sides have invested the heaviest chips. The next step is to see who can hold on longer and the stakes are higher.

Nastisa was silent.

After a while, she slowly said:

"If Verlia knew that we were fighting to save this civilization, she would not betray [society]."

"Nastisa..." The colleague was startled: "I don't want to say good things about [society]!"

"Just think that I lost my mind and went crazy." Nastisa said quietly: "Anyway, people who get into war are all crazy."

She turned her head and looked at the white candle star under the fortress.

‘Villia, I promised you that I would protect everything I cherish, but now it seems that I can’t even protect my own students. ’

‘Forgive me for not building this planet into what you promised. ’

Her eyes pierced the earth, gazing long and hard at Trivera's position.

For people in high positions, even the most prosperous city on the planet is just a black spot in their eyes. As for the struggling existence in the darker corners of the city, they have never entered their eyes.

"Bai Zhu Interstellar University has finally arrived."

Arwen Heskishin pinched the hem of her skirt and walked off the magic flying carpet. She looked at the magnificent and gorgeous campus gate, and in a trance, she seemed to have returned to the Blue Star.
