Chapter 757: Chapter 757

Because of his performance on the first day, no one dared approach Du You afterwards. Du You didn’t bother to interact with them either, so he and his two companions had more time to learn various things, undisturbed.

In particular, they needed to attain a basic understanding of piloting a Mecha, even if they couldn’t master it.

Although this skill was rather useless in other worlds, in their present world it might be vital for completing their mission.

So days passed quietly. Before they knew it, graduation day had come. It seemed like any normal graduation ceremony and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

In the entire academy, their class was the only Superpower Man class; all the others were not.

The day after graduation, they were summoned to the aviation station. This was when they were to go and fight for the company they worked for. There was no choice in this. Upon enrolling at this school, this had been destined to be their path.

"Master, that guy seems to still want to target us. I hope this will not affect our plans," said one.

Du You glanced at Kalu; his eyes were glaring fiercely in his direction with no intention of hiding his aggression. The people surrounding Kalu weren’t his original followers, but instead, several other strong-looking people had joined him. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

Going by their labels, these were all elites from among the class. Even those without ranks were likely exceptional individuals in other areas. It was surprising to see them all coming together.

"He’s quite the schemer, rallying others to ally with him. But trash will always be trash. We won’t bother them unless they invite trouble. If they do, we’ll ensure their demise," said Du You.

"Relax, master. I haven’t had a chance to use my Soul Spikes yet. Killing these guys with the Soul Spikes, I guarantee, no one will suspect a thing," his companion reassured.

Even in worlds where magic thrived, very few— including Professionals—possessed this sort of soul-based attack. Moreover, fewer could detect it. In this technologically advanced world, it was virtually undetectable. Suppose they died; it would be attributed to some type of illness.

"We will deal with them when the time comes. Look, the spaceship is here."

As they spoke, a spaceship a thousand kilometers long slowly landed, yet its descent still created a gusty windstorm around them. Some people kept stepping back, while the ones powerful enough remained where they stood.

From their standing positioning, one could basically determine their actual strength.

"Once over there, it is crucial that you abide by the laws of war. You’ll not only be entering company-controlled territories but also military-controlled zones. Remember, your foremost priority is to guard your life."

The school principal advised loudly, all the while feeling puzzled. Normally, graduates were sent to the interior to gain some experience first. Still, this time, they were being sent directly to the front line. He wondered about the authorities’ motives. Fortunately, the area in question was relatively secluded, so casualties were highly improbable. Hearing the principal’s words, the other school leaders turned a blind eye.

Though this order was a bit peculiar, it was not the first time they’d encountered something .

People boarded the spaceship, secured themselves, and then it slowly ascended. "This contraption does exceed the speed of Earth planes, but it lacks in comfort by a long shot," commented Du You.

"After all, the technology levels differ. You see, Earth doesn’t need spaceships," laughed Lin Yucha before donning her helmet.

Indeed, they were all tightly strapped to their seats, with survival helmets on. This was a new technology developed a hundred years ago. Prior to this, travelers were frozen for the voyage.

"I heard that our flight uses subspace technology, which accelerates faster than light—to warp speeds. By its measure, it only requires five days to reach Asteroid No. 66. I wonder if that’s true."

"That is true. What I find strange is, if Earth can access such technology, why not modify the planets outside Earth? Or perhaps they have, and we don’t know it."

Du You ponders in silence. Given their technology, humanity should have no challenges in gradually conquering other planets and expanding humans’ living space. Why haven’t they heard anything about it? This isn’t a job for Professionals; commoners could handle it. Upon returning, he plans on looking into this matter.

"Why bother about all these things? Once we climb high enough, we will know everything. I believe in master," Lin Yucha spoke with unwavering faith in her eyes.

Du You nodded. Yes, indeed. Why was he so concerned? With enough power, he’d obtain the knowledge in due time.

"Alright, the spaceship is accelerating." A crushing force engulfed them. For Du You, it was negligible. However, for the others on board, it was almost suffocating.

Were it not for the life support system, they might have asphyxiated. As the velocity gradually increased, their sensations steadily recovered, but since the acceleration persisted, they couldn’t leave their seats.

After ten minutes of acceleration, the speed maxed out. The pressure finally dissipated, and the people could move freely. Like the others, Du You toured the various facilities inside the spaceship.

Two days later, the spaceship made an abrupt halt. "We have reached the Star Ring base station. The spaceship will refuel here. We have half a day to rest," someone announced to the rest.

Du You signalled at his two companions, and they all disembarked with the crowd. The Star Ring base lacked an atmosphere and consisted of interconnected Ecological Cities. Outside, the vast starry sky was clearly visible.

Meteors occasionally visible zooming past the Star Ring were truly hair-raising.

"Don’t worry; the meteors won’t hit the base. If a meteor approaches, the base’s Defense Cannons will shoot it down. This asteroid beneath us has been entirely transformed into a fortress."

Du You looked down, astonished at the power of technology. The entire asteroid, as far as the eye could see, had been transformed. Even the ground underfoot was covered with a layer of special metal beneath the soil. This transformation capability was awe-inspiring. To date, Du You had not seen anything like it.

After half a day, they re-boarded the spaceship for another three days of travel. Upon landing, they would reach their future living place. Beyond that, adventure awaited.
