Chapter 149: Xingdaoguan Academy

"Okay, this is it, please come in!"

The blonde girl took Roy to the student union office on the top floor of the high school building. After the school badge was successfully authenticated, she pushed open the double-opening door that was two people tall.

The room that caught the eye was incredibly luxurious. The floor was covered with dark brown carpet, and a full set of leather reception tables and chairs were placed on the side. Paintings of the distant view of Xingdaoguan Academy were hung on the wall. In front of the huge glass window that seemed to cut the sky, there was a heavy oak desk.

Compared to the office of a certain school, this place was simply mistaken for the chairman's office of a certain multinational company.

In fact, all the rooms on this entire floor belong to the student union of Xingdaoguan Academy.

"In each of the six academies in this school war city, all school affairs are managed by the student union, so the student union has considerable power. Its members include all outstanding students from the junior high school, high school, and university departments, especially me, as the student union president, whose power is only second to the chairman."

The blonde girl walked into the room, sat down at the desk skillfully, and let out a long breath.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Claudia Enfield. This is the first time we have exchanged formal names in real life. I am so happy!"

Claudia crossed her fingers, and her slightly red cheeks looked like clouds stained with morning glow.

"Welcome to the Star Guide Academy, and also welcome to the Battle City, Roy."

She turned her roller skate chair away from the table.

In an instant, a huge bird's-eye view appeared from the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind her.

Roy followed her line of sight and saw an orderly artificial city.

The huge artificial city floating in the multiple lake impact craters of Neon North Kanto, commonly known as the Battle City, is formed by a regular hexagonal city block and six academies with large vertices protruding like bastions. It looks like a crystal of snow. The official name is "Lihua" because of this.

In addition, each academy at the six vertices has a straight avenue that passes through the city block and directly connects to the diagonal academy. The shape is indeed like a star - that is, a hexagram.

Although located in Neon, this artificial city is directly controlled by the six major integrated corporate consortiums that dominate the world today, so it has extraterritorial jurisdiction and enjoys an independent political structure and legislative authority.

"In theory, as a special recruit, those who enter our academy can not only be exempted from tuition and living expenses, but also provide equipment or material support, but correspondingly, there are also obligations that must be fulfilled, that is, to defeat Saint Galedovas, subdue Alecante, win over the boundary dragon, defeat Leiwolf, defeat Quinville, and dominate the "Star Warrior Festival"..."

"Oh?"

Roy nodded thoughtfully.

"In other words, the school can also reimburse me for the Huang-style weapons I just lost, right?"

"Huh? Ah, yes, that's it."

Claudia showed a little confusion for a moment, then quickly put away her expression and showed a flawless gentle smile.

"Although the Huang-style weapons are precious in the outside world, the students gathered here are more precious. After all, almost every one of them is from the 'Star Vein Generation', so no matter which academy, Huang-style weapons will be provided to students for free."

"Precious..."

Roy smiled meaningfully when he heard this.

His expression suddenly became sharp for no reason.

"To be honest, based on what I have seen and heard outside during this period of time, the status of the Star Vein Generation is not precious, right?"

"Well, after all, it hasn't been long since the falling star rain came, and a little bit of the characteristics of the times is inevitable."

Claudia couldn't help but smile helplessly when she heard this.

Falling star rain.

It refers to a large-scale disaster that occurred in the 20th century. Countless meteorites appeared in outer space without warning, and fell like raindrops when countries around the world were unprepared, causing a large-scale meteorite rain all over the world.

In that catastrophe, countless cities were destroyed, and the national strength of the remaining countries also declined significantly. In order to survive the extremely chaotic world economic system, countless companies combined to give birth to a new economic entity, which is the "integrated corporate consortium".

The integrated corporate consortium has a stronger power than the weak country and dominates the entire world today. The country cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is equivalent to the walking dead, and its presence is far less real than that of the consortium.

There were originally eight such consortiums, but later two of them disintegrated, leaving only six, namely Galaxy, E=P, Jielong, Yangxue, Holy Mother's Rope, and W&W.

However, the Falling Star Shower incident did not only bring pain.

It is said that after the Falling Star Shower incident, an unknown element called "Universal Element" spread all over the world. The most recognized theory now believes that this unknown element called Universal Element was brought by the meteorite in the Falling Star Shower incident.

And this element called Universal Element seems to react to the will of creatures that meet specific conditions, and the one that reacts the most is humans.

The new humans born under the influence of Universal Element are called "Star Vein Generation".

The Star Pulse Generation generally possesses a powerful physical strength far beyond that of existing humans. They can easily run at a speed comparable to that of a car with their legs. In addition, they also possess a special aura called "Star Power". By manipulating this aura called Star Power, they can do all kinds of incredible things. Even the simplest way of gathering star power for defense can easily resist bullets.

Originally, the birth of the Star Pulse Generation should mean an evolution of mankind and should become the main direction of human development in the future.

But somehow in this world, the Star Pulse Generation has become like a street rat.

Rumor has it that because the Star Pulse Generation generally possesses a power far beyond that of ordinary people, it is very easy to hurt others, so the Star Pulse Generation is subject to many restrictions in public opinion and actions.

In cases involving both the Star Pulse Generation and ordinary people, public opinion will overwhelmingly favor ordinary people. Even if the Star Pulse Generation's legitimate defense is regarded as excessive defense, that's fine. Even in sentencing, the Star Pulse Generation will be sentenced much more severely than ordinary people, and they may be sentenced to prison for decades if they are not careful.

Roy's face became very strange when he learned about it.

How to say it.

A setting full of neon flavor.

But after all, he himself has now traveled to such a world, so he can only not comment.

However, on the other hand, the six major integrated corporate consortiums have created this school battle city, and set up a large-scale martial arts competition called "Star Martial Festival" here, allowing students from various academies to go on stage to perform battles.

Students who win the Star Martial Festival can usually rely on the consortium to realize a wish, whether it is money or reputation, as long as they win the championship on the stage of the Star Martial Festival, everything will be easy to get.

After decades of development, the Star Martial Festival has long become the world's largest comprehensive combat performance, and the Star Pulse Generation has also become a tool used by the consortium to make a lot of money.

The reason why Claudia said that the students of this school battle city are very precious is not because the lives of the Star Pulse Generation are so precious, but because the students in this school battle city are all affiliated with the consortium and are used to please the world's private property.
