epeat past mistakes.”"Well, the task isn't too difficult, and I didn't start too late. There's still a chance."After a moment's thought, Lian Yi came up with her own plan.If it came to the time of her...A ripple of memory brought back the image of that band of space pirates she had wiped out. They were rummaging through the wreckage of downed mecha from a base, and even firing finishing shots at those who were already down. She didn't show any mercy in taking them out; countless lives had fallen to her hand.

In her communication, there was also a distress message and coordinates sent by a man she called "the leader". That leader is very likely still alive and probably captured.

Ian continued.

"Understood! You organize all this information, I'll go see Mr. OuYang."

Ripple originally wanted to take a nap, but after hearing Ian's analysis, she decided to go see the teacher and resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Ou Yang Ci is currently discussing the next steps with Ryan and Nice. They have decided to first escort the students back to Blue Star. This time, the reinforcements arrived just in time, saving the ZJWL planetary base, but the defense level has dropped, making it unsuitable for the students to stay here any longer.

After finalizing the plan, OuYang received a video call request from LianYi. He answered it directly and asked:

"Hongtu, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet Is something the matter"

"Professor OuYang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but I have found something here and am sending the data to you now."

Ripple didn't beat around the bush. She directly had Ian send over the organized data and explained the process of obtaining it, then hung up the video call. She had done what she needed to do, the rest was left for her teacher to worry about.

Ouyang indeed had a headache. He hadn't expected that there would be more than one traitor within the stationed troops here. When Brigadier General Nays knew about it, his face would certainly turn even darker.

When the reinforcements led by Hongtu arrived, those pirates began to retreat. Because Sean and his team broke through successfully, the pirates believed that Sean's squad had escaped with Hill, and that Imperial reinforcements would arrive soon. Knowing they were no match for the Imperial army, they wisely chose to leave.

But because of the information this traitor sent out, they decided to go all out, so their base was attacked and suffered a devastating blow.

Ouyang let out a sigh and turned to find General Nice. Not long after, among the captured space pirates, Leo, who was injured, was locked up alone.

Nays, OuYang and Ryan discussed it afterwards and decided to send this pirate captain back to the Blue Star for trial. This small-time pirate captain actually had informants within the military. This situation was very serious, indicating that there were loopholes in the military. This wasn't a small matter; this attack alone proved everything.

To prevent the escaped pirates from launching a counterattack, Ryan led a support mecha unit to escort the students of First Military Academy back to Blue Star on the second day.

On the way, they encountered the second batch of mecha squads sent by AFWL star to provide support. After exchanging information, the support squad continued to head towards ZJWL star and assembled with the first batch of supporting mecha squads. They helped establish a defense system on ZJWL star before returning home.

Communication is now running smoothly. Lianyi keeps receiving video calls non-stop – from family members, teachers, and even Wu Yishan's. But General Wu seems to be more interested in the star pirate Ghost Skull than anything else. His questions all revolve around him.

Ripple sensed something was wrong and immediately hung up the video call, using an excuse. She was becoming increasingly suspicious of Wu Yishan, feeling that he was hiding a big secret.

"Ian, can you monitor Wu Yishan's communications"

"Master, I'm sorry, but this kind of eavesdropping is illegal. And Wu Yishan's security level is higher than Du Xiaoshou's. I can't breach his firewall without alerting the security system."

Did you record the video call between me and him just now

"I recorded it because General Wu didn't use his own brain-computer to contact you, but used other numbers. So I made a special note. Does this brain-computer number also need to be added to the blocked list"

"Don't use it for now, but every time he contacts me, you need to make a record and back it up."

"Understood, Master! I will focus on this AI number."

Ripple looked out the window at the starry sky, and the expression on her face relaxed a lot. In five days they would be able to return to Blue Star. They were already very close to Blue Star, pirates wouldn't venture this deep to hijack them, unless they wanted to die, so there was no need to worry about safety.

For the first five days of their return journey, both Master OuYang and Sergeant Ryan remained on high alert, wary of another ambush. With students and some severely wounded soldiers in tow, they couldn't afford a direct confrontation. Fortunately, their path remained relatively clear.

Ripple left her own quarters to visit the injured classmates. Everyone was recovering well. Those with minor injuries were already able to chat and joke around with the others. Even Barbara, who had been seriously hurt, and David, who had broken his leg, could now walk, though their faces were still pale from blood loss.

When the ripples passed, everyone gathered together, discussing her final group attack sword technique with envy and admiration on their faces.

What are you guys talking about

Ripples smiled and asked everyone.

"Speaking to you!"

Kate crossed her arms and leaned against the window, smiling back.

"What's wrong with me"

"Of course, I'm talking about your stylish mecha and its awesome attack skills!"

Anne said with a smile.

Ripple just smiled and turned to the black girl sitting in the white floating chair:

"Barbara, how are you feeling now"

"Much better, thanks for your concern!"

Barbara blushed and replied shyly.

Have you and your family been safe

He said, "but they don't seem to know about our accident."

David, leaning on one leg, said.

"I think the military side hasn't released it publicly. After we go back, if parents don't ask, we'll just keep quiet for now. As for Hill, David, and Barbara's situations, you guys figure out your own explanations, don't scare your elders."

Kate instructed everyone.

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"This whole thing happened rather suddenly, but it was incredibly beneficial. I realized that I'm not suited for combat at all, so when I return, I'll consider switching my major. I think I have a natural talent for mecha manufacturing."

David said it plainly.

"I love the feeling of battle, that clash between life and death, mechs and I have become one!"

Anne also shared her own feelings.

Then, everyone discussed the future development direction. Five days later, after adjusting their mindset, the companions successfully arrived at Planet Blue. At this time, they had recovered to their previous state. After bidding farewell to each other, they all went home.

Tu Zi Feng was wearing a dazzling white, mid-length trench coat this time, with a pair of toad-style sunglasses. He stood out from the crowd and Lian Yi instantly saw him.

"Little uncle! I'm here!"

Welcome back! You did very well this time! You really made Principal Du proud!

Du Zi Feng took off his sunglasses and smiled welcomingly at Lian Ri.

"Little uncle, don't flatter me. You deserve half the credit here too. If it weren't for you giving me your fourth-generation mech, I wouldn't have escaped so easily."gh the most basic formation.
