Title and blurb to be decided
A bloody battle in the depths of space enabled the Milky Way to repel its enemies and put an end to the covetous designs of other galaxies.
But the galaxy suffered heavy losses in the great battle and urgently needed to replenish its military ranks with talented people.
Besides secretly sending people to gather all kinds of talent, the leaders decided to hold a recruitment livestream for the entire world.
Before this, most citizens of Blue Star had lived peaceful lives, their knowledge carefully controlled by the leadership. They did not know there were other life forms beyond the Milky Way, and even less that for thousands of years, people had been making sacrifices in silence.
It was a workday in the year 2312. The weather was clear and the breeze was gentle. It seemed like an ordinary day.
Then, right at ten o'clock, a livestream interrupted students' classes, office workers' jobs, farmers' work in the fields...
The livestream appeared on televisions at home, projectors in classrooms, computers in offices, giant screens in shopping malls, and even in midair.
It was everywhere. Everyone in the world could see it.
On screen stood twelve youths who looked like students, standing straight and tall.
Then one of the boys stepped forward, his voice clear and bright.
It turned out to be a recruitment livestream.
"Recruitment? Huayao Academy?"
What kind of no-name school was that?
"Guaranteed job placement after graduation?"
What era was this?
"With just a diploma, you can take office as the district chief of any one of the world's twenty-six districts without taking an exam?"
Who was behind this prank? They were taking it way too far! It was so fake!
However, after the livestream ended, quite a few current and former district chiefs showed off their Huayao Academy diplomas.
The whole world was in an uproar!
Everyone who met the requirements began preparing to apply.
Applicants had to pass an assessment to receive an admission letter.
The youths who received their admission letters went to enroll, excited and full of anticipation.
The good news was that graduates really did get guaranteed job placement. It was said that quite a few senior students were already working in the military before graduating.
The bad news was that graduating was hard. Really hard. If you failed the advancement exams, you would be held back again and again.
An An had a bad temper.
Ever since she had been unconscious for more than half a year and the academy sent her to Blue Star to recruit students, she was often on the verge of losing her temper.
But the first rule of Huayao Academy was this: Huayao Academy's mission is to protect humanity.
So when she entered an elite school and someone played a prank on her, she put up with it.
After school, she went to the boxing gym and beat a punching bag to pieces.
So when she saw certain people bullying a student who had been specially admitted, she put up with it.
But that very day, a classroom desk built to bear two or three hundred kilograms was kicked to pieces, and a hole was smashed in one of the walls.
Later, after recruitment ended, the academy was short on teaching staff, so she was asked, as a senior student, to look after the new students for a while.
Several of the newcomers looked familiar.
Some people questioned why the senior students were allowed to be their temporary teachers when they were the same age as the newcomers.
An An had already been putting up with things for a long time. She gently pinned the person who had spoken beneath her foot, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not get free.
Everyone clearly heard the sound of a bone breaking.
An An glanced at the familiar faces, several of them trembling with fear, and spoke amiably. "Today, your senior sister is going to teach you your first lesson: obedience."
Later on, An An, whose temper had not improved, became an exchange student and entered the most famous university in the interstellar world.
An An and her companions used their strength to tell the people of the interstellar world: do not mess with the Milky Way.
P.S. This is a completely fictional parallel world.
