The year 0025 of the cosmic century is the twenty-fifth year of the beginning of the new century.

At this time, it is only May, and the temperature is comparable to midsummer due to the abnormal climate, and people can't help but sweat like rain under the high temperature and sun.

Ai Jay stood in the middle of the line, his head held high, his hands behind his back, his eyes staring straight ahead, as if he didn't feel the temperature that could burn a person.

It was a huge crowd, but there was not the slightest chaotic sound, only the drowsy sound of chanting on the radio echoed around.

"You are all the pride of our school, imagine ......" The principal who stood on the air-conditioned and covered podium babbled in an undulating voice for nearly an hour, boring nonsense and hot weather made the audience suffer both mental and physical torture.

Even in this environment, everyone has a calm and composed poker face, and their expressions do not fluctuate, so that the instructors who patrol around cannot find a chance to take advantage of it.

Yes, Aijay is attending a graduation ceremony, but not a graduation ceremony at a regular school, but a graduation ceremony at the Third Military University on Earth.

The Third Military University pursues thorough militarized management, and since Ai Jie entered the Military University, he has to go through various drills every day, and the current situation is nothing to Ai Jie.

The Third Military University on Earth was a military university that was opened only after the beginning of the new century, and the 22-year-old Aijie was one of the first batch of graduates of the Third Military University. The performance of the student shutters is extremely important to the future development of the school, so the school also attaches great importance to the first batch of graduates.

“…… Thank you. After another half hour, the principal's speech finally ended. Not only the students, but even the instructors who were on patrol couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, after a series of graduation ceremonies, the long graduation ceremony finally came to an end and the graduates left in an orderly manner.

Ai Jie was walking on the road, a hand suddenly put on Ai Jie's shoulder, and his head also poked over, and the thief said: "Ai Jie, I have an appointment with a few friends and a lot of female soldiers, do you want to go~"

The one who talked was Ai Jie's classmate and friend Peter Shi, the two often communicated with each other in college, and their relationship was very close, and they were even rumored to be BL by many female soldiers.

Ai Jie shook his head: "I'm sorry, I already told someone a few days ago that I want to go back, and I won't go on this trip." ”

St Peter shrugged his shoulders, he knew a lot about Aijie's situation, and agreed: "Our school is strictly controlled, and we don't release people casually, and you encountered that kind of thing when you could go back last time...... You haven't been back for almost two years, so it's really necessary to go back. ”

"Aren't you going back?" Ai Ge asked rhetorically.

Shi Peter's head shook like a rattle: "I went back a while ago, besides, I just made trouble not long ago, and I was sued by someone to the old man, and now I don't dare to go back, it is not a muzzle, it is estimated that the old man will be beaten half to death." ”

Ai Jay imagined that and couldn't help but smile: "I want to forcibly pull you back when you say that." ”

"Don't!"

……

Both Edge and Steve are orphans, born in unknown places, and have lived in Mercury's Orphanage since childhood. The Orphanage is a very small orphanage, but it is legendary in the eyes of the locals of Mercury.

This small orphanage, which is supported only by the director of the orphanage and a few volunteers, and the total number of adopted orphans is less than 30, but many talents have emerged. Edgy and Peter are the oldest in the orphanage, and they can go to the rich earth to go to school, and they go to the military university after graduation, which can be said to be superior.

The children of the Orphanage have been influenced by the Dean since childhood, and all of them aspire to join the army, and the orphans who are slightly younger than Edger and Peter have basically gone to military schools on other planets in the solar system, and this success has made the Orphanage more and more famous.

Ai Jie and Shi Peter are very grateful to the director of the orphanage, he and Shi Peter were able to successfully enter the Third Military University and flourish in the university, which is inseparable from the dean's conscious exercise and cultivation of them since childhood.

The dean's full name is Luo Chong, and he is a veteran who is said to have participated in the battle against the invasion of the solar system by alien monsters at the beginning of the cosmic century. In the year 0010 of the universe century, Luo Chong, who had made great achievements in the war, was physically and mentally exhausted after the end of the war, and chose to set up an orphanage in remote Mercury after being discharged from the army to comfort his soul.

He was born in the military and experienced the tragic battle to defend all mankind, which made the dean's actions and thinking also have a strong military color. This pattern of action has also influenced the way in which the director develops the children in the orphanage. From an early age, the director gave strict education to the children in the orphanage, and subjected them to semi-military management. Although the dean is extremely strict with the children's education, he also takes care of the children in his life, but this strict military management system also makes the children respect and fear the dean.

Under the strict management of the director, the children in the orphanage have the elements of perseverance and tenacity. The children in the orphanage who grew up in this environment are relatively pure and kind-hearted.

Since the opening of the Childish Star Orphanage, except for the nearly 30 orphans that the director found where he opened it, no new orphans have been adopted in the next few years, and the fixed ones have always been maintained, and there has been no change.

Therefore, the orphans in the orphanage are all young, the oldest being 22-year-old young people such as Ai Jie and Shi Peter, and the youngest is also 16 years old. Now there are less than ten orphans left in the Childish Star Orphanage, and in a few years, when the youngest group of orphans grows up, the Childish Star Orphanage is estimated to exist in name only.

Under the influence of Dean Luo Chong, coupled with Dean Luo Chong's approach and his deliberate arrangement, all the orphans developed in the direction of the army. Not to mention those like Ai Jie and Shi Peter who can enter the military university for further study, those other orphans who are not strong enough to enter the military university also entered the major military bases of the federation early under the arrangement of Dean Luo Zhong to open up their own future.

"It's been two years, and there is still no change here~" Stepping into the door of the Childish Star Orphanage after two years, Ai Jie couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, except that it was a little older than in the past, the Childish Star Orphanage is still the same as in his memory.

From a distance, you can see several children playing and playing in the orphanage. They tossed each other's boomerangs, full of laughter. Boomerang...... Seeing this familiar toy, Edjay couldn't help but smile a little, when he was a child in the orphanage, he also liked to play with this very much, once played with St. Peter every day, at that time the two boomerang skills were particularly famous in the neighborhood, and there were even many people to 'learn' from them.

With a sense of nostalgia, Aijie stepped into the orphanage.

The moment he stepped out of the orphanage door, a fist slammed into Aijie's façade.
