"Oh, so Zhao senior have heard of me," Ye Tong nodded, looking at the other person with a hint of amusement.

This time, Zhao Zhihan and his group couldn't laugh, their eyes were unwilling, but they knew their own weight, "Sorry for the disturbance, let's communicate more in the future."

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

Zhou Naiyi could only shake her head and took Ye Tong's hand, "Welcome, Junior Sister. The principal is waiting for us. Let's drop our luggage and go. Ma Long, you can step aside."

"Senior Sister, I have great respect for you. Besides, I have always had the heart of Class 16. Can you introduce us? Ye Tong, what a beautiful name (TL: Ye Tong in Chinese means night pupil). Is it the moon pupil in the black night? It sounds familiar. Would you like to join the photography club? Are you interested in dialogue drama?" Ma Long was absolutely confident that he had left a deep impression on Ye Tong.

Zhou Naiyi smiled helplessly, "Ma Long, you must have heard of the name 'God Tong'."

In an instant, everyone around realized it and their eyes became more eager, but they didn't dare to be so presumptuous.

Ma Long was stunned. Oh my god, it's her...

"Junior Sister Ye Tong, I am your fan. Can you give me an autograph?" Someone in the crowd gathered the courage to ask.

Zhou Naiyi was amused and helpless. She underestimated the persistence of these people. Not only that, but people around didn't disperse. Even Zhao Zhihan was watching from afar.

God Tong, the famous personage of EMP, ranked in the top three in the Asian region of the three-year military college preparatory school. Not only did various top universities in the USE issue offers, but even NUP, a top military academy that always held itself in high regard, actively invited her, including two of NUP's top ten. She finally chose Tianjing Machine Military, causing a sensation.

One word - unlimited potential.

"Senior Sister, is there someone named Li Hao in your cohort?" Ye Tong suddenly asked.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit stiff, with a touch of embarrassment.

"Li Hao, do you know him?" Zhou Naiyi was surprised.

"Yes, Senior Sister. I want to see him first before I go to the principal," Ye Tong smiled.

Ma Long was excited. Oh my god, what's going on? There's a story here. "Junior Sister, this is fate. I don't know about others, but I'm very familiar with Hao Bro. We were bunkmates. Bros, over here. That's him, clearing the table. Hao Bro, over here."

Ma Long waved at Li Hao and his group. They were getting ready to tidy up the photography club's posters and go to lunch.

"Third Brother, let's eat first after we're done," Li Hao said, suddenly realizing that a sharp gaze was locked on him. His muscles tensed almost instinctively, but quickly relaxed...this was Tianjing.

Ye Tong walked towards Li Hao step by step. Li Hao frowned, his eyes fixed on her, and everyone felt that something was wrong.

No one knew who Li Hao was, but everyone knew that Ye Tong was the apple of Principal Long's eye, a core member of the reconstruction of Tianjing Machine Military's glory. If he offended her, he would have a bad ending.Night iris looked at the person in front of her. Although it had been four or five years, she was sure it was him.

The two stood face to face. Li Hao's expression was calm, but his mind was rapidly searching and thinking. He was certain...he didn't owe any money.

Night iris suddenly smiled and took a step forward. The distance between the two became very, very close, and the surrounding breaths froze.

Night iris leaned in and whispered in Li Hao's ear, "Li Hao, we finally meet." A faint, refreshing fragrance touched his nose and stirred his heart. Li Hao pulled back a bit, "Junior, are you mistaking me for someone else?"

Night iris looked deeply at Li Hao. "I am not mistaken. We have a long future ahead of us."

Without saying more, Night iris went to meet the principal with Zhou Nai, leaving a group of people in disarray in the wind.

.................

In dormitory 4396, the atmosphere was very lively. Three curious babies suddenly appeared.

"Hao ge, do you know Night Iris?" asked Left Xiao Tang in surprise. "Her marksmanship is unparalleled."

"Her close combat is also very strong. She goes with the NUP's light armor route. I thought she would go to the moon for further studies, but she came to Tianjing. Interesting," said Wu Zang, clearly interested. This was a master.

"You two idiots, is that the point? She's a beauty, Hao ge, what did she say to you? Are you two that close that you're whispering?" Ma Long's heart was scratching like a cat, unable to reach the parallel lines.

Li Hao shrugged helplessly and pointed to his head, "This junior probably mistook me for someone else or there's something wrong here. I really don't know her."

Ma Long slapped his hand, "She definitely made a mistake. I believe in Hao ge's character. She's a femme fatale, and Night Iris is the femme fatale of femme fatales. Don't provoke her if you don't have to."

Left Xiao Tang couldn't help but speak up, "Then why did you provoke Sheng Man Xue, showing affection every day?"

"You don't understand. If I don't go to hell, who will? It's a matter of enlightenment. It depends on one's understanding. Beauties are man-eaters."

The three roommates all expressed their contempt.

Li Hao smiled and nodded, "Shall we grab a bite to eat?"

"Brothers, the photography club got five new junior sisters today. Thanks for your support. Let's eat well!" Ma Long was happy again, and of course, the three younger brothers had good manners.

Principal's office.

Long Danni, 35 years old, current core member of the USE youth faction, with short black hair, clean and neat, wearing a silver USE federal military uniform with the rank of brigadier general. There was a scar on the left side of her forehead, which detracted from her beauty but added an indescribable charm. She exuded a strong aura and was a force to be reckoned with, having participated in regional wars and cleared out interstellar pirates, fighting on the front lines and commanding troops.

After receiving the decision to transfer, Long Danni did not hesitate at all. The situation at the military academy directly determined the USE's combat effectiveness, and having personally experienced various wars, she was very aware of the USE's problems.The sound of knocking at the door startled Long Danni, who put down the documents in her hand and said, "Come in." Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong walked in and stood at attention. Long Danni smiled slightly, "Ye Tong, welcome. Please feel free to sit down. Naiyi, would you mind showing Ye Tong around the school later?"

"Yes, Principal."

"Thank you, Naiyi."

Long Danni called the two of them in not only to show her appreciation for Ye Tong but also because the USE reform had already been initiated. The 16th class of Tianjing was a hint of this, but the impact was not apparent as a whole. Long Danni believed that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, especially after the recent Solar System Mecha Contest, which exposed the inadequacy of Tianjing's team.

"Naiyi, Ye Tong, I called you here today to hear your thoughts on Tianjing's mecha warfare at present," Long Danni said with a smile, and her assistant came in to pour water for the two.

Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong did not immediately speak as they were both highly intelligent and knew that they couldn't be too outspoken in front of Long Danni, who was not a researcher but a practical fighter.

"Ye Tong, you go first. I'm curious. With so many academies trying to recruit you, why did you choose Tianjing's mecha warfare?" Long Danni asked.

Zhou Naiyi was a little surprised. Everyone thought that Ye Tong came because of General Long.

"Principal, I don't know much about the situation in Tianjing's mecha warfare. But from the level of the Solar System Contest, I think Tianjing's team lacks individual ability, tactical backwardness, and lack of ruthlessness. Even when they can win, they don't do it cleanly. Those who can fight hard crumble," Ye Tong said bluntly. She didn't mince her words, and she didn't come here to be polite. "I hope to gain more freedom in Tianjing."

Long Danni nodded. "Naiyi, you were the first freshman last year. If you were the team captain and had to choose teammates, could you create a team that surpasses the old team?"

Zhou Naiyi thought for a moment, "Principal, if Ye Tong joined my team, I am 90% confident!"

That's what she wanted. With Wu Zang already on the team, if they also had Ye Tong, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

There were three core technologies that enabled human beings to achieve their current dominant position: "Curvature Space Technology," "Ivent Genetic Natural Adjustment Technology," and "Sormite-type Terrestrial Planet Gravity Modification Technology." The maturity of the Ivent Genetic Natural Adjustment Technology had significantly increased the tolerance of human bodies and spirits, making it easier to adapt to the environments of other planets. Some people even possessed "golden genes," which highlighted their superior abilities and provided female pilots with significant room for development.

"Excellent. Naiyi, the team is entirely up to you and Ye Tong. Please submit the list to me."

"Yes, Principal!" Zhou Naiyi was a little excited because usually, these sorts of things didn't happen until the third year.

"Naiyi, there's a guy in your class named Li Hao. How is his level?" Long Danni suddenly asked.Zhou Nai was momentarily stunned. This was already the second unexpected occurrence of the day. Could it be...she thought for a moment before speaking up, "Principal, although Li Hao's grades are not ideal, he excels in multiple areas. Under twice the normal gravity, he can easily complete an hour of daily training. With a little effort, I believe he can improve his grades. Please give him some time."

Ye Tong's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, and Long Danni nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, you can put him on your team, but the final decision is still up to you," Long Danni suddenly said.

Zhou Nai was surprised but nodded anyway.

Leaving the principal's office, Zhou Nai led Ye Tong around the main buildings of Tianjing Mecha Academy. The hardware conditions were top-notch, as befitting its status as the premier institution in Asia. However, Ye Tong didn't seem to care much about that. As they chatted along the way, Zhou Nai couldn't help but think that girls were strange creatures. If you didn't get along with them, they could split into three different factions, but if you did, they would become instant best friends.

"Ye Tong, how do you know Li Hao? He doesn't seem to know you," Zhou Nai couldn't help but ask. Today was too strange. Neither Ye Tong nor Principal Long should have taken an interest in Li Hao, and their behavior was too peculiar. There seemed to be something she didn't know.

Ye Tong smiled faintly, twirling her hair. "We have a bit of a history. Oh, by the way, is his girlfriend from our school?"

"I haven't heard anything about him having a girlfriend," Zhou Nai shook her head. With Ye Tong's looks, no one would suspect anything. "He was second to last in our comprehensive evaluation last year. I was worried there might be some issues, but it seems that's not what the principal meant."

"Sister Nai, scores don't mean everything. By the way, I heard that the beef in Tianjing's cafeteria is amazing. As a newcomer, I need to mooch off my senior for a meal," Ye Tong said, holding Zhou Nai's hand and laughing.

It was clear that Ye Tong wasn't as aloof as she seemed. But...Li Hao, with no background, managed to transfer from the journalism department to the mecha department's special class. Was there something Zhou Nai was missing?...
