Chapter 125 The Ursus
[No. please no. Tell me it’s fake. Please tell me it’s fake, I’m begging…

[My mom was a lieutenant officer in the Fourth Legion. Dad and I just got the call. She died defending the line.]
Under countless comments full of anger, grief, encouragement, and prayers, the livestream shifted to several major imperial military starports.
Hundreds of ships stood in formation before ultra–long–range jump gates, then turned into streams of light and vanished.
“Warning. This starship is about to dock with the Fifth Legion mothership Ursus. All personnel, prepare for docking.”
After streaking through gate after gate, Julian and the others were forced awake from sleep by the central
Julian held Ruin and looked out the window.
In the endless darkness of deep space, a colossal ship rested in silence.
It looked like a steel bear.
The hull was broad and massive, iron–gray from end to end. Countless cannon barrels jutted from it like thorn clusters, its edges rough and brutal.
It did not pursue elegance.
Its sheer size and firepower gave off a silent, solid, suffocating pressure.
In front of that giant thing, the starship Julian had taken seemed tiny.
So tiny that it was quickly caught by the mothership and became only one of countless ships docked on its deck.
“Warning. All personnel aboard the starship must immediately report to their assigned drafted units according to wrist–terminal instructions.”
Under the military central Al’s urging, everyone began running forward.
Julian naturally had to run too.
“Damn it. I heard from my buddy in the Fourth Legion that the Demonflower Blood Mantis came hard, and it has two 25 royal insectoids with it…”
“So what? I saw the insectoid queen before the new year. Worst case, I’ll go blow myself up with those bugs just like our old legion commander did!”
“I heard the Gaia’s main cannon was damaged, and a lot of high–rank mechas are wrecked. The Fourth Legion is waiting for White Tower experts from this ship.”

“The number of wounded at the front is still rising. The medical system is under huge pressure too.”
Julian followed the instructions on his wrist terminal. As he moved forward, the people around him slowly changed from soldiers in black–gold or blue–gold uniforms into researchers in work clothes and doctors in
white coats.
Their discussions shifted too.
Frontline conditions.
Repair plans.
Medical pressure.
Logistics.
After listening all the way, Julian finally understood what had happened to him.
Mm.
A city gate had caught fire, and he, an innocent fish in the moat, had been roasted alive.
But wasn’t he just a first–year military academy student?
They were sending him to the battlefield already?
Even if the empire was truly so short on personnel that it had begun mobilizing first–years, then shouldn’t it be the entire year?
Why were they plucking him alone?
Was that reasonable?
Julian ran while the central AI urged him on, silently complaining with his whole soul.
Finally, he stopped in front of a conference room.
Before he could observe the room, thirty people inside had already raised their heads in perfect unison.
Their sharp gazes landed directly on him at the door.
“Julian Shaw?”
At last, a blue–haired female Beta frowned and spoke in a testing tone.
But a male Beta beside her quickly denied it.
“Come on. R’s only disciple can’t be a first–year from the Imperial Military Academy. Kid, you probably came to the wrong room.”
The moment he said that, most people in the room visibly relaxed.

Because news that R had suddenly taken a disciple had been driving their teachers crazy lately.
And everyone sitting in this conference room was a genius in imperial mecha engineering.
Finished
Aside from the direct family juniors of their own teachers, there was no one here who had not once dreamed of becoming R’s only disciple.
Yes.
More than a hundred years ago, R had already said that too many disciples were troublesome. She had no time to teach them and could not teach that many well anyway.
So she would only take one disciple in her lifetime.
Her knowledge.
Her wealth.
Her connections.
One day, all of it would belong to that one disciple.
More than a century passed.
