"Today, Sword Demoness is dressed like this; she must be going to the Academy Ball with her boyfriend! I didn't expect Sword Demoness to find a colleague as her boyfriend here at the academy," a female student remarked.
However, the outcome soon left the students and teachers who were secretly watching in astonishment.
"Am I looking good today?" Maya asked as she walked down the stairs and noticed Rek standing next to a Metal Chair. She quickly approached him.
"You look good, but it would be better if you didn't wear makeup in the future. Your eyes look like dark circles; you seem like you haven't woken up," Rek said with a smile through his clone.
Maya rarely wore makeup, but today she had taken the effort to apply some, though the effect wasn't very ideal.
After observing through his clone, Rek felt that if Maya attended the ball tonight with light makeup, she would definitely look even better and more charming than she did now.
"Hmph! That's because you don't appreciate it. Since you're accompanying me to the New Year Ball today, I'll let it slide," Maya replied, reaching out to grab Rek's arm and linking it as they walked toward the venue of the Academy New Year Ball.
Through his clone, Rek felt the sensation of her arm touching his body.
Inside, he was filled with regret; it was all his fault for speaking out. Otherwise, he would be accompanying Maya in person tonight instead of being outside the Fortress with Alice, braving the cold wind.
---
Controlling his clone, Rek walked alongside Maya on a path through the campus. They both slowed their pace to enjoy this rare moment of tranquility.
Many couples from the academy were out tonight, and some single students were also hoping to try their luck.
At this time, many people were heading toward the venue of the Academy Ball. Fortunately, it was dimly lit, so no one recognized that Master Muya was linked arm-in-arm with this student named Rek.
Rek and Maya walked slowly, taking half an hour to reach the ball.
A massive Training Ground had been transformed into a temporary New Year Ball venue. In the center of the venue, a high platform featured fast-paced Vaguely music, with numerous students and instructors dancing to the rhythm below.
On the platform, there was also a temporary band and singers from the academy, all formed spontaneously by students.
Listening to the music, Rek felt it was quite nice, and he squeezed into the crowd with Maya to start dancing.
"Your movements are too stiff! Have you never danced before?" Maya asked Rek, her face almost touching his clone's face.
"I've never attended a ball, so I don't really know how to dance. I wasn't good at Vaguely before," Rek replied. In his previous life, during his first year at medical school, he was too busy studying Medical Knowledge to attend any balls. Later, when the Alien Catastrophe broke out, he had no chance at all.
"Relax and follow my steps; it's very simple. I'll lead you. Didn't you sing live during my martial arts competition? Even contemporary female stars were impressed by you. You can't possibly say you don't know how to dance; are you kidding me?" Maya said.
However, Maya soon realized she was mistaken. "Ouch!" Rek's clone accidentally stepped on Maya's foot again.
There was no way around it; Rek was trying to multitask. Outside the Fortress, Alice was still chatting with him while he had to control his clone to dance here. Being someone who didn't know how to dance in the first place, Rek simply couldn't keep up with Maya's steps and the rhythm of Vaguely.
After more than half an hour, Maya's feet were swollen, and she was limping as she danced. Now she was wary of Rek stepping on her again; his footwork was so fast and heavy that she had become afraid of being stepped on. Every time she noticed him slowing down, there was no way for her to dodge.
"Rek, you aren't doing this on purpose, are you? You seem pretty agile usually; how come you can't manage such simple dancing? I can't take it anymore; we need to stop dancing and go to the resting area on the side of the venue for some drinks," Maya said as she limped away from the dance floor.
Rek's clone followed her, smiling awkwardly.
Just as they sat down next to a Metal Chair at the resting area, Rek suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.
"Rek! You're here for the ball too? I was just about to contact you using my Wrist Communicator." A clear voice came from behind Rek.
It was the Moon Goddess dressed in a blue and white sports outfit.
"What a coincidence to run into so many people here. Come, sit down. Manli, you came with Moon Goddess too. This is my mentor Maya, and this is Moon Goddess who works in the infirmary along with her colleague Manli. You should know each other already," Rek said, also greeting the Nurse next to Moon Goddess.
"Hello, Master Muya!" Moon Goddess unceremoniously took a Metal Chair and sat down next to Rek, with Manli following suit.
Rek sensed that something was off with Moon Goddess's expression. Before he could figure out why, he heard her speak.
"Master Muya, your black seductive evening gown looks stunning. You bought it from the most expensive store on Pedestrian Street at the academy, right? I tried on the same one a few days ago, but Rek said it didn't suit me and bought me this sports outfit instead."
Master Muya was taken aback and replied, "Your sports outfit isn't bad either! This black evening gown was also a gift from Rek. He said it suits me well."
Then Maya and Moon Goddess began to glare at each other. Rek, controlling his avatar, observed the two women staring each other down and realized what the issue was.
Previously, Moon Goddess had mentioned wanting to reserve that black evening gown to buy for herself before graduation, but now it had been worn by Maya. It was clear that Moon Goddess was upset.
Feeling a headache coming on as he watched the two women nearly ready to fight, Rek decided to hand over control of his body to his avatar.
"Avatar, take control of the body. Just make sure they don't end up fighting," Rek instructed.
"Here, have some drinks; this beverage tastes great," the avatar said as it grabbed the drink pitcher from the table and poured large cups of drink for Maya, Moon Goddess, and the nearby Manly Nurse.
As they sipped their drinks, Maya and Moon Goddess finally paused their glaring contest. The avatar found a topic to casually chat about.
Rek realized that his avatar handled such situations much better than he had anticipated, so he decided to leave it to him.
He returned all his Mental Energy back into his body and began speaking with Alice.
"Shall we release the Kongming Lantern now, or wait a bit longer until later?"
"Stop saying 'uh' and 'ah' all the time! Say something! Haven't you napped enough this afternoon?" Alice asked Rek.
"Let's release it now. The sky in Dark Space is always dark and rarely has any light. Come on, let's get up and do it together," Rek said as he stood up.
"Okay, let's secure the Kongming Lantern first. I'm going to light it," Alice replied.
Alice and Rek stood facing each other, holding up the Kongming Lantern, while Alice ignited the small heater inside it.
The specially designed yellow flame began to burn inside the Kongming Lantern, and soon it started to rise into the sky without needing their support.
Alice looked up at the Kongming Lantern, a beautiful smile on her face.
Rek also watched as the Kongming Lantern flew through the air. After about ten minutes, it had ascended quite high.
With a loud "bang," the Kongming Lantern exploded in the sky, releasing numerous fireworks effects.
This spectacle caught the attention of students and teachers within the academy, who looked up at the sky through the open protective dome of Super Soldier Academy to see the fireworks.
"I didn't expect there would be fireworks this year. I don't remember sending anyone to prepare them! It seems some student did this secretly. Oh well! Today is New Year's, and the effects are quite nice," thought Yin Yang Principal as he stood on his Principal's Office balcony, watching the fireworks in the sky.
After enjoying the explosion of the Kongming Lantern's fireworks display, Alice energetically jumped around on Academy Fortress.
"Alright, enough playing. Let's come down and take a break," Rek said, puzzled by how Alice, who had lived for many lifetimes, still had so much energy.
"Rek, let's not go back to Academy Fortress just yet. I want to stay in Dark Space a little longer and hang out outside the Fortress for a few more hours," Alice whispered to Rek.
"Whatever, since going back this early just means entering the Quarantine Room, I might as well go back later and just sleep through the isolation period," Rek said.
"Alice, I want to talk to you about something regarding my previous reincarnation," Alice said after thinking for a moment.
"Go ahead. I'm curious about what kind of worlds you've experienced over so many lifetimes," Rek replied.
Rek understood that if someone harbored too many secrets within, their mood and spirit would deteriorate over time.
"Alice, the War God System is truly a powerful system that people both love and hate.
If I hadn't had it, I might have died in the first world after the Xeno Outbreak.
In so many worlds, I obtained the War God System, died, was reborn, and obtained the War God System again, constantly cycling through. I once tried hard to become stronger and change my fate of death.
But in the end, it was either that I failed to complete a mission from the War God System and was killed and reborn by it, or I died at the hands of Alien Species or even the Star Alliance Military.
In fact, it's not just Alien Species that pose a threat; when you become powerful enough, the Star Alliance Military or even the Glorious Empire could bring you unexpected troubles," Alice said softly.
"My thought is that we need to develop our own power and gain authority.
In other words, if this Super Soldier Academy Fortress were ours and fully under our control, then at certain times, we wouldn't have to worry so much or feel so scared," Rek said after some contemplation.
"You think like me; I didn't expect that!
Controlling the Super Soldier Academy Fortress and becoming its principal is indeed a great idea.
I previously tried to establish some influence, like building a robot army, creating the Rebel Armed Forces, becoming a leader in the Rebel Armed Forces, and even forming a religious organization."
"Unfortunately, in the end, they couldn't escape their fate of death," Alice said softly, lost in thought.
"This time is different. In this cycle, you have freed yourself from the constraints of the War God System, and with my possession of the War God System alongside your assistance, we have a chance to change our fate," Rek looked at Alice.
"I hope so. Let's try to take control of the Super Soldier Academy Fortress soon. What do you think of this idea?"
After the Xeno Outbreak, the Star Alliance Military was in a state of division from the early to mid-stages of combat. We are currently at the Super Soldier Academy Fortress, which gives us an advantage if we can control it.
After the Alien Species Cataclysm occurred, the Star Alliance Military's grip on various Mobile Fortresses weakened. At that point, whether resisting or fleeing, we would have a slight edge," Alice spoke to Rek.
Hearing Alice's words, Rek was somewhat surprised; he didn't expect Alice to be so ambitious as to want to control the Super Soldier Academy Fortress.
Rek thought for a moment. If they could indeed control the Super Soldier Academy Fortress as Alice suggested, it would be a very good strategy.
The Super Soldier Academy had complete self-sufficiency and possessed large-scale heavy weaponry. The number of soldiers and students was sufficient, and the facilities were quite comprehensive.
One could say that even after the Dark Space Alien disaster erupted, as long as they were not besieged by Alien Species and did not actively seek death, with Rek and Alice's understanding of the Alien Horde, surviving for over a decade would not be a problem.
Rek spoke up: "Have you thought about how to control the Super Soldier Academy Fortress? Not to mention, that Yin Yang Principal is quite powerful.
I still haven't fully grasped the capabilities of this Yin Yang Principal. Moreover, the Super Soldier Academy Fortress belongs to the Star Alliance Military; if we forcefully take action, we will become enemies of the Star Alliance Military.
Before the Alien Catastrophe erupts, we might be eliminated by the Star Alliance Military first."
Upon hearing Rek's words, Alice nodded and replied: "You don't need to worry about Yin Yang Principal's strength. Based on my experiences from previous lives, after some time, there will be issues with Yin Yang Principal's cultivation."
Of course, he had to conceal this situation for the time being because he was in Dark Space and needed to control the Fortress.
However, due to not returning to the Main World for treatment in time, the Yin Yang Principal's cultivation faced significant risks, which would become evident when the Alien Catastrophe erupted around this time next year.
Numerous Alien Species attacked the Super Soldier Academy Fortress, and the reason the Yin Yang Principal did not demonstrate his formidable strength was that the Academy Fortress was the first to be occupied by the Alien Species, and no one investigated this matter afterward.
"What are you saying! Are you implying that the Yin Yang Principal's cultivation will have issues soon? Will this happen before or after we hunt the Time Beast?" Rek asked.
"There is no specific timeline. Each time he is reborn, the Yin Yang Principal has concealed his condition, and due to some minor changes, it seems that the timing of his cultivation issues varies each time.
But it will likely occur within the next month," Alice confidently stated.
Hearing Alice's words, Rek was quite surprised. "Do you have a way to detect the Yin Yang Principal's cultivation status?"
"If the Yin Yang Principal stays in front of me for more than ten minutes, I have some methods to determine whether there are issues with his strength," Alice replied confidently.
"Then how do you plan to deal with the Yin Yang Principal? What is your strategy? How do we control the Super Soldier Academy Fortress? After all, even if we kill the Yin Yang Principal, it won't be up to you and me to control the Academy Fortress."
