Maya returned to the classroom and said, "I have already discussed with the principal that the classes for Special Class One will still be taught by Tutor Orland himself. In a few days, after he recovers, he will explain the basics of Dark Space to the two Sister Flowers. I won't be substituting for him anymore.
Rek, Alice, how are you two doing with your studies?"
"We're just waiting for you to explain! It's still a bit unclear when we study on our own," Alice said sweetly to Maya.
"Yes, Maya, please explain in detail!" Rek added, thinking that it was normal for the teacher to lecture. If he told Maya what they were going to cover, both of them would understand, and Maya would probably feel frustrated.
Maya felt happy hearing her two students' "eager" responses and began to teach Rek and Alice in detail.
Maya started explaining the Alien Species and environment of Dark Space in front of the virtual projector, while Rek and Alice listened as if in a trance.
From time to time, Maya would ask questions, but her questions were very simple for Rek and Alice, making them easy to handle.
Maya lectured seriously for several hours and only stopped at noon. After speaking all morning, her voice had become a bit hoarse.
"That's all for this morning's basic knowledge. This afternoon we will go to the Training Ground to start practical lessons. It is an external training ground in the Second Area where Sophomore Students will begin combat training with Alien Species today.
A few days ago, the Super Soldier Academy captured three Headless Humanoid Variants. One has been kept in the academy's infirmary for research purposes, and the other two will be used for practice by Sophomore students. You two can observe as well," Maya said to Rek and Alice.
"Headless Humanoid Variant!" Rek exclaimed in surprise.
"What? Rek, have you heard of Headless Humanoid Variants? Do you know anything about this Headless Abomination?" Maya asked Rek with some confusion.
Seeing her student display such a surprised expression was unexpected; after all, these Headless Humanoid Variants had just appeared in Dark Space. Even she only learned about them yesterday. Normally, Rek should not have encountered them yet.
Rek smiled wryly at Alice and noticed that she made a funny face at him and winked.
"I was just surprised that a headless humanoid Alien Species could still be alive; I don't really know much about it," Rek said casually.
"Be on time at the Sophomore Students' training ground in Area Two this afternoon. Alright, class dismissed." After hearing Rek's words, Maya spoke up and turned to leave the classroom.
After seeing Maya walk away, Rek turned to Alice beside him and asked, "In your previous lives, did the Academy Fortress also encounter Headless Humanoid Variants at this time?
The Super Soldier Academy even captured live Headless Humanoid Variants. Why do I feel like something is off?"
Alice replied, "During the Dark Gold Ant Mine incident, we killed the Dark Gold Ant Queen a few days in advance, which caused the Super Soldier Academy Fortress to leave the Dark Gold Soil Mine early.
Now, compared to my Previous Life, the Academy Fortress has not experienced large-scale casualties, and its trajectory has changed.
We can say that we have already altered a small part of the future. The events that follow can no longer be completely compared to what I knew from my Previous Life.
The Headless Humanoid Variant, more accurately called the Severed Head Variant, only appeared during the mid-battle between Alien Species and humans in previous lives.
This time, the Severed Head Variant has appeared a bit earlier!"
"Alice, you know about the Headless Humanoid Variant too! Logically speaking, the Super Soldier Academy shouldn't have been able to capture three live ones. When Maya mentioned this earlier, she didn't say anything about capturing three heads.
It seems they only captured three bodies of the Headless Humanoid Variants.
We need to find those three Alien Species' separated heads quickly; otherwise, this afternoon at the Sophomore training ground could turn into a disaster," Rek said with some concern.
Especially since Rek heard that one of the Headless Humanoid Variants was sent to the infirmary; he was worried about Moon Goddess's safety.
After thinking for a moment, Alice said, "That's right, Severed Head Variant. After the head and body are separated, the body can quickly recover from any damage as long as its head isn't destroyed. The headless body is almost immortal.
However, this Alien Species has weaknesses too. Once separated, the head's defense is very weak and cannot be more than a kilometer away from its body.
Since their bodies are already in the Super Soldier Academy and it is still moving, those three Alien Species' heads should be hidden somewhere in the Super Soldier Academy Fortress."
"The Academy Fortress has a Defensive Shield; logically speaking, those three heads shouldn't be able to enter it. Moreover, the Fortress is quite spacious; it wouldn't make sense for them to be outside either. Their three headless bodies should have died long ago due to being beyond the one-kilometer limit!
However, from what I just heard from Maya, it seems these three Headless Humanoid Variants are still alive. Could it be that Severed Head Variants have evolved in this life?" Rek pondered aloud.
"Alien Evolution is not that easy. When those three humanoid Alien Species start fighting this afternoon, we can locate their hidden heads based on their energy fluctuations. There's no need to worry too much about Rek; at most, a little over ten Sophomore Students will die," Alice said casually.
"I'm worried about the Moon Goddess. A Headless Abomination was sent to the infirmary as a test subject, and those people in the infirmary have no idea that this headless humanoid Alien Species is immortal," Rek replied.
"Well, you can't warn others, Rek. Don't reveal the weaknesses of the Alien Species you know to anyone else in the academy, or you won't be able to explain your foresight, which will lead to a lot of trouble. I tried telling the Star Alliance Military some things in my previous lives, but it often ended poorly," Alice said seriously to Rek.
Rek remained silent, lost in thought.
"I got it! I figured out where the heads of those three Severed Head Variants are!" Rek suddenly exclaimed.
Alice jumped in surprise at Rek's outburst.
"Alice, please go to the infirmary and protect the Moon Goddess for me. I'll try to eliminate the heads of those three Severed Head Variants before this afternoon," Rek instructed Alice beside him.
"Why me?" Alice asked.
"The food at the infirmary is pretty good. You can have lunch with the Moon Goddess. If all goes well, I should be able to take care of the three heads before tonight," Rek explained.
"You know where the heads are hidden?" Alice inquired.
Rek pointed down at his feet. After a few seconds of thought, Alice nodded in realization.
