Astral Apostle

Chapter 251: Arriving; Fight Against the Faculty (1)

A few months later.

The migration fleet dragged a trail of light as they sailed through the deep space. A blue-green planet in front of them gradually entered their line of sight.

This was a planet where more than half was taken up by the ocean. The land plates only took up about a third of the planet, and sparse white clouds dotted the planet like frost. Overall, it looked like a colorful glass ball. There were several satellite stations scattered around the planet’s outer space, following its trajectory.

Planet Aquamarine — the destination for the migration fleet.

The entire fleet gradually slowed down and finally dispersed in outer space. They split into ten fleets of countries and headed to their respective main cities.

The Scarlet Nation’s fleet entered the atmosphere and lowered their altitude. Soon, they pierced through the clouds and saw the situation on the surface.

A huge silver city was entrenched in the wilderness. Skyscrapers pierced through the clouds, and outside the city was a forest made of towering ancient trees. Railway tracks extended from the city through the forest and connected to the surrounding smaller satellite cities.

Star Luo City was the capital of the Scarlet Nation on Planet Aquamarine. At the same time, it was also the only major city that the Scarlet Nation had built on the Aqua Blue Planet. It was equivalent to the main base of an interstellar development outpost.

Rumble…

The fleet slowly landed at the port base of Star Luo City. They embedded themselves into the docking platform, opened the hatch, and popped out the gangway.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, the dense crowd of immigrants alighted from the spaceship. The area quickly became crowded and noisy.

...

After sailing for a few months, many immigrants finally saw the sunlight again as they stepped onto the solid ground.

“Phew, we’re finally here.”

Zhou Jing followed the crowd out of the wake and took a deep breath of the fresh air. He immediately felt relaxed as he curiously sized up the environment of the new planet.

Life on another planet was indeed different. Everything was new.

“Ah~ I feel much better. I’ve been bored to death these past few days.” Li Xiaoyin carried her small school bag and stretched out her arms as though she was trying to do a chest expansion exercise. She was excited and happy.

“Our small step is a huge step for humans. This is our first stop in conquering the sea of stars!”

Xu Lingyun pointed at the sky, his chest full of ambition as he shouted loudly.

When those acquaintances that were in the same spaceship as him passed by, they rolled their eyes and cursed in their hearts. They hurriedly walked away, afraid that they would be infected. The area within three meters of Xu Lingyun was instantly emptied out.

“How embarrassing.” Zhang Xiao followed behind with many bags, avoiding Xu Lingyun with a look of disdain.

Zhou Jing shook his head speechlessly. He took out his phone and connected to the local network. After he adjusted the time to Planet Aquamarine, he took a look at the date today.

February 3, 2352… They had set off on September 19 last year. The voyage had taken more than four months.

Throughout the more than four months on the ship, everyone had been attending preparatory classes.

Since he could not train his superpowers, he followed Wang Wu and the members of the Supers Bureau every day to undergo basic physical training and combat training. He also learned the rules and regulations of the Supers Academy, the legal terms of the Supers, and the various geographical knowledge in Planet Aquamarine

After four months of systematic preparatory training, there were no changes on the outside, but there was a certain improvement on the inside. They could no longer be considered complete beginners in terms of basic combat techniques.

Zhou Jing had also learned many basic combat techniques from the main world, but without the Accelerated Learning function, there would naturally be no qualitative change. He could only say that he had enriched his methods and his ability to fight with his bare hands had increased.

During the voyage, the Mutant World was still in a disconnected state, and the interface did not detect any new planes. He had not been able to travel through the astral realms… Without the joy of being able to “watch dramas”, it was quite difficult for him to sit still on the spaceship.

(TL Note: Reminder that he liked to use the excuse of watching dramas to avoid appointments at night when he was astral traveling.)

Fortunately, there were still supernatural immigrants on the same ship who could communicate and play. After more than four months, the hundreds of people on the same ship became familiar with each other.

Everyone quickly went down the gangway and waited in front of the boarding tower at Wang Wu’s request.

Not far away, the ordinary immigrants were led away to get off the ship for inspection. They did not stay with the Supers.

“Everyone, don’t run around. Follow me to gather.”

Wang Wu greeted everyone and led the way, leading the hundreds of people on the same ship in a different direction from ordinary immigrants.

Zhou Jing and the others followed him and quickly arrived at a arrival hall to wait.

Before long, a few more groups of people arrived. These were the supernatural immigrants who had arrived on other spaceships.

Before long, all the supernatural immigrants from the Scarlet Nation had arrived. There were nearly 4,000 of them, and the hall suddenly became a lot more squeezy.

According to the difference in the spacecraft, the 4,000 people were divided into several distinct groups. Each district observed each other curiously.

Lin Kun stood upright. His eyes were like radar scanning as he silently searched for the experts in the other groups who were worth fighting.

Xu Lingyun was also sizing up the others.

“I wonder if there are any powerful figures on the other spaceships…”

“I saw that someone had already gone to ask around. We’ll know when the time comes.”

Zhou Jing replied with a curious expression.

The Tail Current was only one of the immigration spaceships, and the supernatural immigrants on it were only a portion of the total. On the other ships, there were also outstanding Awakened that they did not know. After entering the school, they would be in the same batch.

He just didn’t know if there was anyone with the same potential as Li Xiaoyin, or even higher…

Thud, thud, thud…

When no one was paying attention, a tall woman came to the noisy hall. She had light makeup on and appeared quite elegant and beautiful. She was wearing silver earrings and a purple furry coat. Her fair and slender legs were revealed through the hem of the coat, and she was wearing black high heels.

She scanned the thousands of people present and suddenly erupted with a frigid aura.

Huu…

It was as if an invisible hurricane was howling, and an inexplicable pressure swept through the entire place.

The originally noisy hall immediately fell silent. Everyone felt their hearts tighten, as if they had been grabbed by a big hand. Their gazes were immediately attracted to her.

The tall woman’s aura was immediately retracted. Seeing that the scene had quietened down, she smiled and introduced herself,

“Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself. I’m the Deputy Dean of the Scarlet Academy, Shen Xinqin. I’m here to welcome everyone on behalf of the academy.”

Vice Dean of the Supers Academy!

Everyone felt their hearts involuntarily beat faster.

Planet Aquamarine was a newly developed colonial planet. The ten countries that were assigned to manage this planet had only built one main city each. It was the same for the Supers Academy on Planet Aquamarine. There was only one Supers Academy in each country, and it was in charge of the re-education of all the new Awakened in the country.

This meant that everyone present would be her “student” in the future.

“What a beauty…” Xu Lingyun blushed. He covered his heart and whispered,” Brothers, I feel like I’m in love. ”

“Come on, that’s called lust.”

Zhou Jing snapped back.

Suddenly, someone realized that there was a badge on Shen Xinqin’s chest.

“Look! That’s the Rainbow Light Crest. She’s a Rank 5 Super!”

As soon as that person finished speaking, everyone’s gazes focused on that particular spot, and there was a commotion.

“That’s the real deal…”

Zhou Jing’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the crest.

In the main world, every time one passed a Super assessment, they would obtain a crest that represented their level so that others could recognize them.

From Rank 1 to 7, the crest names were: White Jade, Green Sprout, Blue Crystal, Purple Star, Rainbow Light, Silver Moon, and Golden Sun.

The higher the rank, the harsher the requirements for the test and the greater the increase in strength. No matter how strange the ability was, if it could achieve the power and strength base of a certain rank, the user would be conferred upon said rank.

As for the Rainbow Light Crest, it represented a Level 5 Super. This meant that the wearer had already stepped into the ranks of high-rank Supers and was extremely powerful.

Shen Xinqin did not care about everyone’s rude gazes. She smiled gently and slowly continued her talk.

“Everyone, I believe you’re all tired from the long journey. I’ll save the small talk for the school opening ceremony. We’ll have plenty of time to get to know everyone in the future. Next, please get in the car and head to the Supers Academy. Rest and monitor yourself for seven days to adapt to the climate of Planet Aquamarine. School will officially start in seven days.

I believe that everyone has already understood the situation of the Supers Academy in the past few months of preparatory studies. However, I still need to carry out my duty and introduce it…

The purpose of the Supers Academy is to nurture Supers who are useful to society and promote teamwork. Therefore, after school starts, all the students in the same period will be assigned to a few faculties. Many activities, competitions, and competitions in the academy would be fought against by each faculty to increase their ability to cooperate.”

“The ranking and victory of each faculty will affect one’s GPA. Thus, during school, you have to fight hard for your respective faculties. The performance of every student would affect all the members of the faculty.

Outside the stipulated faculty factions, some activities and courses require students to form teams. Thus, the academy advocates for students to form fixed small teams with less than ten people. Their abilities should ideally complement each other, and they would work together to fight against other teams and train their cooperation abilities. If one does not form teams, they would not be able to participate in some activities that might give additional GPA or rewards.

By the way, many teams that are formed during their student times in the academy maintained the status quo even after they completed their examinations and graduated. They made dazzling results in various industries. The most common example is for those teams to participate in the Supers League as a team and become famous.

Of course, the individual abilities of Supers are equally important. The academy also understands that some superpowers are difficult to cooperate with others, so they are not against fighting alone. Similarly, there are some activities that require one to only participate alone, but in comparison, teamwork is a model with greater benefits.”

Shen Xinqin’s voice was mature and soothing, and it was quite pleasant to the ears. Although it was all information that everyone already knew, everyone still heard it in their hearts.

Zhou Jing nodded to himself.

He had already understood from the preparatory class that every country’s Supers Academy had a different system, and Shen Qiuqin was talking about the mechanism of the Scarlet Nation’s Supers Academy. All students would be divided into a few academic faculties, and the competition between the faculties would be the mainstream. The intensity of the confrontation would be quite high.

The division of faculties had nothing to do with the categories of their superpowers. It was just a collective group. Be it in daily classes or competitions, there were competitions between faculties.

The reason why many Awakened were inclined to cozy up to others was also because this kind of academy system emphasized teamwork and teamwork to cultivate a sense of collective honor. For those who liked to fight alone, this was a disadvantage.

As long as there were fierce people in the faculty, they would have an advantage in the various activities and competitions in the academy. It would be easier for them to obtain a better GPA.

Under such a model, outstanding students who could stand out were very valuable… If one could become the leader of the faculty and lead them to fight against the other faculties successfully, this glory would be added to their resume.

Zhou Jing subconsciously looked at Li Xiaoyin.

With Li Xiaoyin’s superpower, it was almost certain that she would become an influential figure in the faculty.

He just did not know how far he could go himself…

At this moment, Xu Lingyun muttered softly, “As assistants, we will definitely follow the boss, but I wonder if Jingjing and Sister Yin can be assigned to the same faculty?”

Zhang Xiao replied mysteriously, “Don’t worry, I’ve asked around. The faculty will usually not split up those within the same city… Since we’re all immigrants, those on the same spaceship should enter the same faculty.”

“That makes sense. I think it’s settled.” Xu Lingyun agreed.

Li Xiaoyin patted Zhou Jing’s shoulder hard and crooned, “Don’t worry, Jingjing. I’ll protect you.”

“You guys are really good at planting flags…” Zhou Jing held his forehead and complained.

He obviously wanted to be in the same faculty as Li Xiaoyin as well. Although he had the Astral Travel ability and was quite confident… it would be a waste not to cozy up to her!
