Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing this, the audience was once again shocked beyond words.
What did Mike just do?
He actually directly rejected General Bucky.
Oh, God!
Was Mike that muddle-headed?
Perhaps, only when Mike reached middle age and recalled his youth would he realize how big of an opportunity he had rejected.
This was what everyone thought.
“Mike, are you serious?
“This is General Bucky we’re talking about!”
“Moreover, this was the moment when you better change your fate!”
Cook was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
Although he was extremely envious of Mike, he also hoped that Mike could live well and lead a good life with his family.
Knowing that Cook was doing this for his own good, Mike smiled at him.
Ignoring the Cook’s anxious cook, Bucky looked directly at Mike.
He was getting more and more curious about Mike.
Mike’s words and actions were not only different from ordinary people, but he was also the first one who dared to reject Bucky.
“Mike, can I know your thoughts?”
“It’s because of my father.”
“Your father?”
Mike’s words directly made Bucky puzzled.
Logically speaking, a father should be proud of his son joining the first-class students of Star City.
Why would he refuse?
After Bucky finished his question, Mike’s next words made Bucky’s expression change drastically.
“My father’s name is Anderson.”

“Anderson! You’re Anderson’s son!!”
Bucky’s voice grew louder as he looked at Mike in disbelief.
However, he seemed to have noticed that he had lost his composure.
Bucky heaved a sigh of relief and muttered.
“I see. No wonder you rejected my request.”
Bucky thought for a moment, then glanced at Mike and his mother before saying solemnly.
“Madam, I apologize for Anderson’s disappearance. As the principal, I have to apologize to you for not being able to find our student.”
After saying that, without waiting for them to react, he bowed deeply to Hestia.
His words and actions were filled with infinite respect.
Seeing Bucky’s respectful manner, Hestia was greatly shocked. She had never thought that the esteemed general, Bucky, would personally apologize to her.
“General Bucky, you don’t have to be like this.”
Hestia hurriedly pulled him up.
However, at that moment, Baki said something that shocked them.

“There’s a high possibility that Mr. Anderson is just missing. He didn’t actually die.”
“Also, if Mike joins the Star Military Academy, you might be able to find Mr. Anderson in your research.”
What?
Hearing this news, Mike and his mother were stunned.
They thought that their father, Anderson, had not left the human world, but that was just a way for them to comfort themselves.
“Is what you said true?” Hestia asked excitedly.
“Madam, this is not a place to talk. Let’s find a place to talk.”
Nodding, Mike and the others quickly led Bucky and the others into the room.
After they left, only a group of people were left outside.
Although they had been shocked by Mike many times today, what Bucky said just now made their scalps go numb again.
They would not dare to think about it even something like this even if they racked their brains.
General Bucky actually apologized to Mike in front of so many people.
Just when everyone was shocked to the extreme in the crowd, Bucky and the others had already arrived at Mike’s home.
“General Bucky, can you explain what you just said?” Mike asked.
At this moment, Mike was very eager to know the information about his father.
After a moment of silence, Bucky said.
“Mike, do you know the existence of Soul Beasts?”
“Soul Beasts?”
Mike’s eyes were very confused. Why was his father related to Soul Beasts?
However, he still answered Bucky’s question honestly.
“Soul Beasts are Fierce Beasts that feed on Spiritual Energy. However, how is this creature related to father?”
Upon hearing this, Bucky quickly explained it to Mike.
“Soul Beasts are indeed Fierce Beasts that feed on Spiritual Energy. However, there are many types of Soul Beasts. One of them is able to distort space and is called the Void Soul Beast.
“Back then, your father studied Void Soul Beasts. However, he had yet to completely subdue these Fierce Beasts. During a trial, the Void Soul Beast had taken your father to an unknown place.
“Void Soul Beasts float around without a trace. The Freedom Legion doesn’t have any members with extremely strong Spiritual Energy, so Anderson’s whereabouts are difficult to determine.”
After knowing that Anderson still had a chance of survival, Mike and Hestia both heaved a sigh of relief.
“Since father still has a chance of survival, that’s good. But what does this have to do with me joining the Star Military Academy?”
Mike immediately thought of the crux of the problem and quickly asked.
“If you join the King Class of the Star Military Academy, then you will learn about using Spiritual Energy techniques and learn about Soul Beasts,” Bucky said in a deep voice.
“I see.” Mike nodded.
When he heard the news, Mike looked at Hestia who was beside him.
Seeing that her face was not as serious as before, he knew that this matter had a higher chance of success.
However, before Mike said that he would consider it…
Hestia who was beside him said directly.
“Mike, if you join the Star Military Academy, you might be able to bring Anderson back, so I won’t Stop You.”
Hearing this, Mike’s face lit up.
Before he could laugh, Hestia changed the topic.
“However, you can’t join any dangerous training in the future, understand?”
“Yes.”
Knowing that his mother was concerned about him, Mike nodded firmly.
“Haha, don’t worry. Mike is a student that I’ve taken a fancy to. If there’s any danger, I, as your master, won’t be willing to let him join.”
Bucky laughed. The heartwarming scene of Mike and his mother was also something that Bucky was delighted to see.
The scene was once very harmonious.
That was it.
After Mike agreed to join the Star Military Academy, Bucky and the others also bid farewell and directly left.
