The classroom was packed with students, and it wasn't until Ye Yu took a seat that a few more hurriedly rushed in from the entrance, looking somewhat flustered as they searched for empty spots.
At that moment, Ye Yu noticed that this classroom, which could accommodate five hundred people, was completely full. Even outside the glass walls, he could see many people gathered around, seemingly eager to attend the lecture.
"Professor X gives the first lecture to freshmen every year, but since he always includes new content, even upperclassmen make an effort to attend whenever they can," Xia Chiu explained. Having spent time with Ye Yu the previous day, she understood that he was unfamiliar with many of the notable figures and anecdotes related to the Federal First Military Academy. Seeing his puzzled expression, she offered a brief explanation.
"Professor X? That name sounds somewhat familiar!" Ye Yu recalled a flicker of memory upon hearing it, but having been away from the Federation Homeworld for so long, many details had become hazy.
"Boss, over forty years ago, Professor X was a special operations commander on the front lines. During one operation he led, his team ambushed and annihilated a training group of officers from the Blue Seal Empire. Many of those officers were said to be members of the imperial family, including a prince!
As a result, the Blue Seal Empire retaliated with a large-scale counterattack. However, Professor X had received word in advance and went into hiding, so none of those attacks harmed him. Still, the empire's fury persisted. Although they didn't launch a massive retaliation specifically for this incident, they sent numerous high-level assassins to attempt to eliminate the professor and dispatched spies to investigate his whereabouts," Wang Jiu summarized for Ye Yu while waiting for Professor X to arrive.
"I remember now; I read about this story before. But at that time, it seemed like only the professor's successful ambush on the officer training group was recorded. There wasn't much about what happened afterward," Ye Yu finally recalled that there were records about Professor X among the heroes of the Federation.
"Yes, back then he was still a colonel; however, he later rose to the rank of general. The Federation never anticipated that the Blue Seal Empire would adopt such a relentless attitude. Even though their assassins were repeatedly eliminated by the professor and several spies were exposed in the process, the Blue Seal Empire continued to leverage dark world assassins to target special operations forces.
Although Professor X managed to escape danger multiple times, his subordinates suffered significant losses. The Blue Marked People’s reckless tactics put even the Federation under strain. Unfortunately, after holding out for a year, Professor X had no choice but to retire with the rank of major general. Ultimately, he became an instructor at the First Military Academy; otherwise, there might have been another renowned general on the front lines today."
Chen Tang, who sat in the row behind Ye Yu, added further details about this exceptional instructor. Naturally, Chen Tang had researched him extensively and was particularly passionate about special operations due to their ability to concentrate elite forces and leverage intelligence sources for impactful results on battlefields.
"I wonder how strong Professor X is in personal combat?" Ye Yu asked. Coming from a special operations background himself—though not from the same unit as Professor X—he felt a connection nonetheless.
"According to Federation confidentiality regulations, no one knows Professor X's combat capabilities. However, based on previous reports, he was already a master at Seventh Stage martial arts by the time he retired! Many rumors suggest that he is also a high-level Ability user; however, opinions vary on what type of Ability he possesses—some say elemental while others claim it's spatial. The specifics are likely known only to a select few," Chen Tang shook his head in uncertainty; after all, when this professor retired, his father had still been just a child.
Just as Ye Yu was about to ask something else, a man with golden hair and a hawk-like nose walked in. The man stood around six feet tall, dressed in a sporty jacket, exuding an air of vitality as he strode in confidently.
"Good day, Professor!"
As soon as the golden-haired man reached the podium, all the students stood up and bowed to greet him.
"Freshmen, your nightmare begins now!" A voice as hard and cold as iron emanated from the golden-haired man's lips. The tone was not loud, yet it resonated clearly in every student's ears.
So this is Professor X? Ye Yu felt a jolt in his heart. In that brief moment, he sensed the overwhelming power radiating from the professor. However, that power was well-controlled, and Ye Yu only caught a fleeting glimpse of it before it vanished.
As the students began to take their seats, Professor X activated a holographic projection. It displayed a Star Map, which was too large to identify any specific location at the moment.
Ye Yu gazed at the handsome face of the professor, which seemed ageless, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was such a calm face. Yet the past it represented was anything but tranquil; it spoke of sorrow wrapped in battle and the grimness of war.
"I imagine you might guess what I am about to do, and I know most of you can think of at least a few things," Professor X said as he slowly descended from the podium. Despite the classroom's vastness, his voice carried effortlessly.
"In previous courses, my first lesson has always been to test your patience, attention to detail, and more importantly, teamwork. Of course, these tasks should be quite simple for many of you. Last year’s task was completed by someone with the surname Zhou; the year before that was a girl... I seem to have forgotten her name."
"So this year, I wonder who will complete this task? You should know that there are many treasures within the academy; completing the task will earn you some of those valuable items."
As Professor X spoke, he walked along the central axis of the classroom. It didn't seem like he was moving quickly at all; by the time he finished speaking, he had already reached the last row.
"Then may I ask, Professor, what is this year's task?" Peak, who shared Command System with Ye Yu, stood up at some point with a confident expression and asked.
"It's very simple... calculate the three-dimensional coordinates of this Star Map!" Professor X suddenly waved his hand, pointing at the holographic Star Map. "Don't expect to find the label information of the Star Map through cloud data matching searches. Even if there is such a map in the Federation database, how long would it take to find it among the vast amount of information? I believe your seniors should know my style; this map has appeared for the first time and has no recorded label information. So if you don't take this seriously, you won't be able to find the corresponding three-dimensional coordinates of this star map at all."
