The morning at the Lord's Manor was quiet and peaceful. It was still before office hours, and outside, only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard, accompanied by the refreshing essence of the early morning.
Ye Yu and Long Yin Yue sat at a table, resembling two diners who had unintentionally crossed paths, silently enjoying their meals. Ye Yu had a larger portion than Long Yin Yue and took a few minutes longer to finish. Traditional food like this was rarely consumed by people from the Federation; after all, for them, it was enough if food met their physical needs. However, as Ye Yu ate, he felt an inexplicable sense of calm wash over him, diminishing the restlessness that had always lingered within. In his memories, family meals had once been like this, but that feeling seemed to belong to a distant past.
"This is a pure natural remedy; it should be beneficial for your body's recovery," Long Yin Yue said, producing a rare white ceramic bottle seemingly out of nowhere. The bottle was wide at the base with a narrow neck, sealed with a wooden cork, and its surface was smooth without any embellishments.
Ye Yu paused for a moment but did not reach for the ceramic bottle. He understood that Long Yin Yue had summoned him early in the morning for more than just delivering a potentially helpful remedy.
Long Yin Yue smiled slightly and placed the bottle on the table before continuing, "This remedy is prepared for high-level combatants who are injured; its effects are indeed remarkable. However, the ingredients required for this remedy are complex, and its preparation is quite difficult. The entire Federation produces less than ten bottles in a year."
Hearing Long Yin Yue's words sent a jolt through Ye Yu. He was well aware of the Federation's terrifying production capabilities; if such a remedy was produced in such limited quantities, it meant either that the ingredients were hard to find or that its preparation was exceedingly challenging. This indicated the rarity of the remedy—it was undoubtedly priceless!
"You have made significant contributions to Silver Dragon Star. Although they believe you suffered losses with two battleships and personnel casualties, which should balance out your merits and faults, I think you deserve a reward."
To dispel Ye Yu's doubts, Long Yin Yue explained his reasoning. His actions were not only meant to reassure Ye Yu but also to convey to Shadow Team and even the entire Silver Dragon Guard that they were valued.
"Mr. Long, how much can this remedy help recover my injuries?" Ye Yu steadied his emotions and asked. After all, strength was crucial for him.
Long Yin Yue glanced at Ye Yu and replied calmly, "This remedy can help even those at Ninth-Level Combat Power who are on their last breath slowly recover from their injuries. However... according to the diagnosis results from the Nano Medical Robot, this remedy can restore some of what you have lost; whether it can fully restore you may depend on fate." As he spoke, a flicker of compassion crossed Long Yin Yue's eyes—here was a young man who could have had a bright future in the military now facing an uncertain end.
After hearing Long Yin Yue's words, Ye Yu could hardly contain his excitement. A remedy effective even for those at Ninth-Level Combat Power offered him a glimmer of hope despite his severe injuries. His gaze toward the bottle shifted significantly; if not for considering that Long Yin Yue still had more to say, he would have been ready to take it immediately.
"Mr. Long, thank you!" Ye Yu steadied his racing heart and looked at Long Yin Yue again. "What do you need me to do?"
Long Yin Yue shook his head and said, "This is a reward for you. From now on, you will have to face many things on your own, and I hope you can improve your strength."
Ye Yu's expression darkened as he recalled Long Ruofei's words; the Silver Dragon Star could not protect him forever. Long Yin Yue's meaning was clear: he would have to rely on himself from now on.
"Killing him comes at too great a cost, and that Assassin's List is permanently valid. Even if one White Contract is eliminated, there will be more formidable individuals willing to take on the bounty." At some point, Long Ruofei had entered the room, clearly concerned that her brother might not express things clearly.
"I have already applied for an admission slot for you at the Federal First Military Academy. As for what major you want to pursue, that will be up to you to decide!" Long Yin Yue interrupted Long Ruofei and continued. Since he had decided to get involved in this matter, he naturally wanted to do it well.
"The Federal First Military Academy?" Ye Yu's eyes twitched at the mention of the name, his face filled with shock.
"Yes, it's located on Home Planet, the most difficult military academy to enter in the entire Federation! It is also the cradle of generals in our Federal Republic; graduates there receive a rank of Major!" By this time, Long Ruofei had approached Ye Yu. She seemed to have just gotten up, wearing home clothes that subtly revealed a hint of white. Ye Yu instinctively averted his gaze.
Ye Yu nodded. As a citizen of the Federation, he naturally understood the significance of the First Military Academy. It recruited students from five districts across the Federation each year, and these students were already the best of the best in their respective districts. Even so, the final acceptance rate was less than one in ten thousand, highlighting its difficulty.
"Do I need to prepare for an assessment? I remember that the assessments at the First Military Academy are quite strict and even require combat capabilities," Ye Yu asked with some confusion. Aside from his Psychic Power, he had no combat strength at all; if there were indeed assessments, he would likely struggle to pass.
"No need. The Silver Dragon Guard has recommendation privileges. You are already at the level of a squad leader in the Silver Dragon Guard, so you naturally qualify for admission to this academy. Moreover, your recent battle against the Pirate Group has likely been recorded in the case database of the First Military Academy. I believe such achievements are unimaginable even for the most outstanding graduates," Long Yin Yue said with a hint of pride as he spoke. The performance of Ye Yu and the Silver Dragon Guard had indeed astonished the entire Federation. As the governor of Silver Dragon City, he felt proud as well.
However, Long Yin Yue soon noticed that Ye Yu did not seem very willing. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"
"Ye Yu, attending the First Military Academy will not only allow you to learn professional military knowledge but also importantly ensure your safety during your six years of study since Federation Homeworld is the safest System among all planets!" Seeing her brother's displeased expression, Long Ruofei immediately stepped in to persuade him.
"If you're worried about not being able to stay in the Federation's military afterward, know that the doors of Silver Dragon Guard are always open for you!" After leaving this statement, Long Yin Yue stood up and left directly.
