Cannon fodder in the Interstellar

What surprised Ruo Manni the most was that Su forty-three was actually playing the part of a pig to eat a tiger.

All along, Ruo Manni had observed his behavior and listened to his words, thinking that his family was just a small clan. She only realized today that it was not the case; having a sixth-level warrior as a guardian meant that his family’s strength was at least on par with a second-tier clan.

Ruo Manni looked around her room. Although it was on a military ship, the spacecraft often undertook long missions in space, so the living quarters were quite comfortable, and this military ship was no exception.

While she didn’t know their destination or how long they would be on the ship, it seemed unnecessary to take a military spacecraft for a short duration. Ruo Manni carefully checked her assigned room until she confirmed that there were no surveillance devices inside.

Ruo Manni was always very cautious; she wouldn’t enter the space of the jade pendant unless she was absolutely sure it was safe. In unfamiliar environments, she checked and rechecked everything, and whenever she went out and came back, she would conduct another thorough inspection.

After all, the living quarters were quite small—about twenty square meters—so she couldn’t practice her physical techniques there. If they stayed for an extended period, she would definitely need to enter the jade pendant space to train.

Tonight, she definitely couldn’t enter the battle realm, so Ruo Manni pampered the little demon on her bed.

Who would have thought that the next morning, before she had even gotten out of bed, Instructor Dudley sent a summons. Ruo Manni wasn’t surprised; ever since she arrived at the Imperial Capital Star, she had forgotten how to sleep in.

When she arrived at the designated place, only Hua Deli was there. The siblings exchanged glances, looking suspiciously at Instructor Dudley and a school guard who walked in.

“We are on a secret mission this time. Although your appearances haven’t leaked to the outside, and the photos on the assassination bounty list aren’t very clear, your black hair and black eyes are too distinctive. Plus, the fact that you two are twins has likely spread, so you both need to change your appearances. Instructor Valdes is very skilled in this area, so you should follow his instructions,” Instructor Dudley said.

When the siblings returned, their friends almost dropped their jaws in surprise, looking at them as if to say, “Who are you?”

Ruo Manni and Hua Deli thought their friends had been secretly swapped out because they had also changed their appearances; if you didn’t look closely, you would think they were strangers.

Hebrew Adam said it would take about five days, and sure enough, it was five days.

However, it wasn’t the military spacecraft that arrived at the destination; rather, their small team piloted a small spacecraft away from the large military ship and into the vastness of space.

Though it wasn’t explicitly stated, everyone could tell from Hebrew Adam’s demeanor that this small spacecraft was his personal one.

Even though everyone in the elite class came from good backgrounds, no one else had a small spacecraft aside from Hebrew Adam. (Ruo Manni’s small spacecraft, given by King Adam, was unknown to her other friends except for Hebrew Adam and Hua Deli.)

As a result, everyone was excitedly watching in the cockpit, fully embracing the idea that even if they couldn’t own one, it was great just to touch it.

Since receiving the small spacecraft, Ruo Manni had been studying online how to pilot it, planning to get her private pilot’s license for small spacecraft when she turned sixteen.

In their first year, students focused on physical training and enhancing personal combat skills, so they weren’t allowed to use firearms.

However, in the second year, they would begin specializing in firearms, and by the third year, they would primarily focus on mecha combat. Given her and Hebrew Adam’s current skills, they were already considered starry-eyed mecha pilots, and they would surely have training in space.

In the vast universe, having a small spacecraft could be a lifesaver in case of emergencies. Ruo Manni, who cherished her second chance at life, placed great importance on anything that could ensure her safety.

Even though the holographic simulations on the official website were incredibly realistic, they couldn’t compare to the real thing. Ruo Manni was especially interested when she discovered that Hebrew Adam’s small spacecraft was the same model as hers, making her even more eager to touch and explore it.
