Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 145: Senior (One more update)

They could only sit down in regret next to Su Ming.

At this time, more and more people were filling the auditorium.

Rhein, observing the bustling grand auditorium, whispered to Su Ming.

"Class leader, aren’t you excited?"

"It’s okay, I’m calm."

Su Ming responded indifferently, but truthfully, it would be false to say he wasn’t excited.

Just then, there was a stir among the students on site; many stood up and excitedly waved toward the entrance.

"Senior!"

Su Ming and the others turned their heads curiously.

They saw a girl with red short hair dressed in Third Generation Exoskeleton Armor·Flame walking in, looking dashing and impressive.

"Who is that?"

Su Ming, seeing how popular the girl entering was, also grew curious.

Rhein, sitting on the other side of Su Ming, excitedly explained.

"That’s Aqua, a notable figure among the juniors, and incredibly strong. It’s said that when she was at school, she once defeated an external teacher. Apparently, she is serving on Planet Monsiska now; I didn’t expect the school to call her back."

"Not bad."

After listening to Rhein, Su Ming sincerely praised. After all, he was there for the prize money, and if his side wasn’t competent, he would be at a disadvantage too.

While they were talking, another group of students stood up, cheering excitedly toward the entrance.

Su Ming followed everyone’s gaze, and saw two people entering.

One of them was Uluca, a third-year student whose name had been hotly debated online, dressed in a captain’s uniform, with a composed demeanor and sharp eyes, a shocking scar across his neck.

Beside Uluca was a man wearing glasses with a refined look and a smiling face, continuously waving to the many younger students.

"Who is the one beside Uluca?"

Su Ming curiously asked Rhein.

Rhein replied to Su Ming.

"He’s Bilado, a senior from the junior command classes known as ’Ghost Hand,’ famous for commanding surprise attacks. Could he be the commander for this?"

"It’s hard to say, considering no fourth-year seniors have shown up yet."

Su Ming was also uncertain.

"Right, everyone is almost here, why haven’t the fourth years arrived yet? The school wouldn’t have failed to arrange it, would they?"

Rhein and the others were getting anxious, as the three fourth-year students were the main event.

Just then, the scene suddenly erupted, and students began shouting excitedly.

"Look, who is here!"

Su Ming and his friends turned their heads, and saw a man about two meters and thirty centimeters tall, clad in fourth-generation gray armor, broad-shouldered and rugged, with a steady gait, walking through the entrance.

"Holy shit, isn’t that Major Oliver, known as the ’wild bear’? So, he is a fourth-year student at Imperial Court Academy."

Rhein exclaimed in shock.

Su Ming’s eyes sparkled; Major Oliver was very famous, and he had seen several posts about him on the Star Cluster Forum.

"It’s truly exhilarating. I wonder who the remaining two fourth-year seniors will be?"

Zhang Yi and others were increasingly excited.

At this moment, Oliver, instead of finding a seat, walked straight down the aisle to the main podium. Once he stood there, the somewhat anxious students felt significantly reassured, and everyone patiently waited.

About half an hour later, suddenly, the concealed spotlights at the top of the auditorium all turned on, shining toward the entrance.

Thousands of students looked back simultaneously, seeing a young man in a lieutenant colonel’s uniform, with golden hair, handsome features, wearing gemstone earrings, and moving with an easy grace.

In a flash, the students in the auditorium completely erupted, excitedly shouting,

"Begfin!"

...

"I’m going! It’s going to be a fight now, haha! They’ve called the student council president back."

Rhein and the others ecstatically said.

"Begfin is our school’s student council president? I haven’t heard anything about this online."

Su Ming said, taken aback.

"It’s normal; he doesn’t need to mention it. You know, he is a rising star in the military, earning the rank of Lieutenant Colonel at 25, acclaimed as the most likely seed officer to be promoted to general, and also my most admired idol. It’s my first time seeing him in person."

Rhein said, excitedly unable to keep his mouth shut.

"Hello, everyone!"

Begfin gracefully waved to the crowd and walked up to the podium amid the focused attention of all.

"You are late."

Oliver greeted Begfin in a deep voice.

"Be understanding, I was originally about to head to the Transfer Star of Tamm but then turned back. You know, my original plan was not to come back until two years later when I would be promoted to the fifth grade."

Begfin replied to Oliver with a smile.

"Hmm, didn’t Vice Principal Fleck say a total of three people were called back? Who is the other one? Our lineup doesn’t seem quite right."

Oliver asked Begfin.

He and Begfin were both from the Mecha Combat department, so if they were to oversee everything it wouldn’t be a problem, but something seemed to be missing.

"I’m not sure about that; Vice Principal Fleck didn’t elaborate. But I think the person should be here soon, I’m also curious about which friend it will be."

Begfin replied very calmly.

Just then, the spotlight in the auditorium moved again, gathering like starlight at the entrance.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze in the entire hall concentrated there.

They saw a tall girl with light purple hair and wearing a major’s military uniform walk in gracefully. Her hair hung smoothly over her shoulders, and her exquisitely beautiful face featured a pair of deep, beautiful purple eyes. Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, seemingly emitting a faint halo under the lights.

"Who is this senior?"

"Not sure, I’ve never seen her in the academy’s journals."

...

The students at the scene whispered among themselves.

Upon seeing the girl, both Begfin and Oliver displayed quite surprised expressions.

"Irelia!"

At that moment, Irelia arrived at the podium under everyone’s gaze and greeted politely.

"Begfin, Oliver, long time no see."

"Indeed, it has been a long time. I’m genuinely surprised today; ever since I started serving, I have not heard any news about you. It’s incredible that you’ve already been promoted to major."

Begfin said to Irelia, filled with emotion.

"I’m far behind you; I often hear about your deeds."

Irelia replied with a smile.

"Haha, you flatter me! Alright, let’s not catch up now, business matters! After the tournament ends, we should get together properly."

Begfin concluded the pleasantries with a laugh.

"Yes."

Irelia slightly nodded in agreement.
