Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 556 - 463 The Second Practice Class_2

Rainbow smiled slightly, a sparkle in her eyes.

「...」

Inside the Huai Shan Branch School, discussions had been rampant lately. The second-generation students were all trying to find out what this practice course was about. Each family was scrambling, using every connection and trick they had.

The previous time it was to quell native rebellions; what would this time entail? Moreover, for someone of the principal's caliber, the scale of the last mission clearly seemed like a gentle introduction for the newly enrolled students—just a minor test. This time, it had been announced that the duration would be quite long. And since students from every cohort had died during these practice courses, their anxiety wasn't unfounded; they were genuinely concerned for their safety.

Chubby, who was well-connected and always in the know, came to "report" to Chen Gu almost every few hours.

Finally, amidst everyone's anxiety, the school announced the news: gather tomorrow and prepare to depart.

This time, the group would be led directly by Director Xue, accompanied by Wang Chengqian and another instructor, Luo Bei. Wang Chengqian had surprisingly advanced to the Sixth Energy Level during this period, while Luo Bei was a "Medium Instructor" of the Seventh Energy Level.

The school, with its usual show of power, used its own starship, taking the students away from Capital Star.

Chen Gu had negotiated with the Alliance the night before. The Alliance was quite dissatisfied; a star player frequently missing matches was also a loss for them. Like the last time, they could only give Chen Gu a two-week leave; any longer, and Chen Gu's results would be marked negatively.

Chen Gu remembered Chubby mentioning this practice course might last for three months... By the time I return, my rankings will have tumbled drastically. This season is wasted. He sighed helplessly. I'll have to start over next season. But the rewards for a champion are so high...

On the starship, Fan Yutong raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, what exactly is this practice course about?"

Everyone had been waiting for several days, speculating wildly. Now that they had boarded the starship, the three supervising teachers were still seated nonchalantly, showing no intention of explaining. The students finally couldn't hold back any longer. Fan Yutong took the lead, and immediately a clamor of questions arose: "That's right, that's right! Even if it's supposed to be confidential, surely you can tell us now?"

"It's just us on the starship; no one will leak any information."

But Director Xue only replied indifferently, "When it's time for you to know, you will be informed. For now, make good use of the time to rest."

The phrase "make good use of the time to rest" suddenly made everyone uneasy. What? Does this mean we won't even have time to rest once the practice course starts?

Liao Mingliang, trying to be clever, asked, "Teacher, are we going to be divided into groups again this time?"

Director Xue glanced at him indifferently, offering no response. Liao Mingliang's attempt fell flat, and he rubbed his nose to ease his awkwardness.

Ten hours of interstellar travel and two warp jumps brought them into a desolate starfield. The number of surrounding stars had suddenly dwindled. In the distance, a peculiar planet emitted flickering light at an extremely rapid frequency. Amid fragments of a shattered asteroid belt, occasional meteors broke free of gravity and shot out.

The pilot manipulated a control, and on the star map, a massive, desolate, dark-red planet not far ahead of them was enlarged.

Three hours later, they appeared in the outer space of that planet. Then, the starship activated its stealth mode, quietly landing in a giant meteorite crater on the planet.

Most of the students present came from prominent backgrounds, and their expressions turned grim when they saw the starship activating its stealth capabilities.

Bai Zhijin asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Liao Mingliang explained in a low voice, "This means that our target for the practice course likely possesses overwhelmingly superior forces on this planet. We need to evade their satellites..."

Bai Zhijin couldn't help but whisper in dismay, "Why send us here? We're just students; this kind of place should be cleared out by the military."

Once the starship had landed securely, Director Xue stood up and said, "Deploy the 'Scouts' to ensure the vicinity is safe."

The starship's pilot pressed a button. Several hatches opened on different sides of the starship's hull, and armed drones, each about the size of a basketball, silently flew out. They then dispersed in various directions to scan the area, quickly disappearing from sight.

Director Xue clapped his hands to get the students' attention. "You've all been wanting to know the content of this practice course, and now I will tell you."

"Your opponents this time are gangsters, warlords, and the Insect Race." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The students were baffled. How could we face so many different types of enemies in a single operation?

Director Xue pulled up a star map and zoomed in on a corner. "This is the Star Nation of Ekmolon. Among the many small star nations, it's a rather unremarkable one."

"The Star Nation of Ekmolon has always been internally unstable, plagued by numerous rebel factions. Most of these rebel forces aren't actually based in Ekmolon. For example, this group, the 'George Warriors,' has established some of its key bases within the territories of the Four Great Star Nations to evade Ekmolon's government forces."

"The Four Great Star Nations can't openly shelter them—at least not officially. Therefore, the 'George Warriors' always seek out desolate planets within the territories of the Four Great Star Nations to establish themselves."

"If they want to rebel, they need an army, they need weapons, and they require money to purchase these from the interstellar black market."
