Legacy of the Void Fleet-Chapter 107: ch 106 the Academy and plans
More than a week had passed, and in that time, a lot had happened—some events major, others minor. On the second day of the week, the Evendite planet finally emerged into real space from its hidden position. This event caused an unnatural yet beautiful phenomenon: space itself seemed torn apart, stretching over 100,000 kilometers. Through this vast spatial rift, the Evendite planet was pushed out—a heavenly sight with its own unique beauty. Amidst the distorted and fragmented space, a magnificent planet with a blue glow, reminiscent of Earth's, appeared.
Approximately 60% of its surface was covered in oceans, with the remaining land adorned by vast forests and towering mountains. Despite being nearly 20 times larger than Earth, it lacked its own moon. It took about an hour for the planet to stabilize into its orbit in the fourth zone. Only then did we begin sending bio-human expeditions to uncover the inheritances left behind or whatever else could be found.
I did go there, not because there was much for me to do, but out of curiosity. Even Luna, though astonished by the event of Evendite's reappearance, didn't show much enthusiasm for exploring it. Despite knowing that some rare species resided there, she remarked that such rare species were more common on the Origin Planet or in some places within the Big Bear's universal plain. So why would she go there to see cities in ruins, covered in weeds and plants? She decided to wait until it was rebuilt.
"Well, little Luna, it's not like you can avoid going there when it's rebuilt. Remember, you're still six years old, so you have to attend school, university, etc.," I said while ruffling her hair a bit.
"Who wants to go to school now, Big Bear? I can learn all that without wasting time. Even though I'm only six, I'm far more powerful, okay? It wouldn't be good for my image as a great sorceress and tamer to go to school with peers who have no idea of magic or anything. It wouldn't be good, Big Bear. Just think about it," Luna protested.
I shook my head at Luna's explanation—or rather, her excuse—to avoid attending school. But I was prepared to say, so I wouldn't be letting her off this time.
"Oh, little Luna, you don't have to worry about all that."
"Why?"
"Well, because the school you'll be attending will teach you about magic too, and more, along with your peers. So no need to worry—your great image," I emphasized sarcastically, "will not be destroyed at all. Instead, it will only grow. Think, Luna: you in a class filled with geniuses, yet you still come out on top. Won't it increase your image and charm?"
"That..." Luna began, clearly ready to refute me in a hurry—but then she paused.
Instead of snapping back like usual, she paused, replaying my words with a rare touch of patience. After a brief moment of quiet reflection, her eyes lit up with a spark, and she beamed at me.
"You know what, Big Bear? You're right!"
Even as she said it, her mind had already drifted off into a daydream — imagining herself at the academy, breezing through tests and trials. In her vision, she stood at the top, one hand behind her back, looking down on her proud classmates with a smug little smile.
Haha, I'll look so cool then, she thought to herself, already lost in the fantasy.
I smirked inwardly and muttered to myself, Got you now, little Luna.
But out loud I said, "Is that right, Luna? Hmm... but hey, no pressure. If you don't want to go to school, that's fine too. I'm sure you can do plenty of learning here anyway, right?"
But out loud, I said, "Is that right, Luna? Hmm... but hey, no pressure. If you don't want to go to school, that's fine too. I'm sure you can do plenty of learning here anyway, right?"
Hearing me, she finally snapped out of her daydream.
"Hey! What are you talking about, Big Bear? Who said I don't want to go to school?" she shot back, puffing up like I'd just insulted her pride.
Still, acting, huh? Let's see how long you can keep that up, Little Luna, I muttered internally before saying out loud,"Didn't you just say that a second ago, Luna?"
"When? When did I do that, Big Bear?! Big Bear, I think you heard something wrong. Your ears are going bad—you should get them checked," she said, completely serious, not even blinking. As if she wasn't the one lying—as if I was the one who'd heard it all wrong.
My mouth twitched at her bold deflection, but I kept the act going.
"Oh, I heard wrong, huh?"
"Indeed you did, Big Bear!" she said with absolute confidence. "If a six-year-old genius like me doesn't go to school, then who would? Hmph. There's still so much I need to learn. Sigh... I can't be too careless, can I?"

She crossed her arms and nodded to herself like she was doing the world a favor by agreeing to school.
Sigh... this girl, I thought, watching Luna act so smug and proud. She always finds a way out—especially with words. It's nearly impossible to beat her at that game.
But oh, little Luna… this time, you really walked into a trap I very carefully laid just for you. Hahaha... I couldn't help but laugh inwardly at the thought of her reaction when she finds out what the actual academy trials and entrance tests are like.
Now, you might be wondering—what did I plan for her? What kind of surprise is waiting?
Don't worry. You'll see for yourself soon enough. Let's just say… her fantasy of strolling through the academy as the all-powerful summoner supreme might hit a tiny little bump.
While I was off in my own world, planning and chuckling to myself, Luna stood in front of me, completely lost in her own daydream. She was already picturing her glorious entrance into the academy—students in awe, teachers stunned, her standing at the top like some mythical prodigy. She was clearly loving every second of the imagined attention.
But then... she froze.
A sudden shiver ran down her spine.
Her instincts flared—warning her, tugging at her thoughts. She snapped out of her dream-state, looking around cautiously, as if danger was lurking nearby.
And, well... she wasn't entirely wrong.
It was right in front of her—me.
But in her mind, I was still just Big Bear. Safe. Familiar. Not a threat.
Oh, Luna... you've got no idea. I'm not just giving you a school to attend—I'm giving you a chance to earn your fame. The hard way.
Your journey to greatness starts now.
And just like that, time kept moving — another four days slipped by.
During that time, most of the inheritance and valuable tech on the Evendite Planet was recovered. Some of it was minor, but there were major finds too. Everything we recovered was sent to Tyler, the engineers, and the R&D department to be analyzed. Their job: extract every ounce of useful data, convert it into working knowledge, and report back.
Among the most exciting discoveries were a set of preserved ships — not many, maybe 20 or 30 total — but their condition was exceptional. Of those, one stood out above the rest: a massive dreadnought nearly 7 kilometers in length.
Its design was old, but raw firepower-wise? It could hold its own with even the mighty Anterclass-class battleships. Not in versatility or deployment range, sure — it lacked dual-core power generators and other modern infrastructure — but in sheer destructive output, it was impressive. A beast from another era.
We named it the DE-001 Regal Class, and I had it transported straight to Zen-1 for Tyler and his team to tear into. The ship held technology that was well beyond what we currently had access to. It wasn't anything extraordinary or universe-breaking, but several core components could prove extremely useful.
If anyone could reverse-engineer them and build something valuable out of it, it was Tyler and his crew. With a bit of time, they might just develop some next-gen systems we could integrate into our future designs.
As for the other ships — they were quite good too. Their designs were practical, and I liked them. They're currently being examined and will be reverse-engineered before eventually being inducted into our fleet. But that will have to wait. Right now, we have a different priority: the reconnection of this cut-off region.
Yes, it has finally begun.
The ancient artifact maintaining the isolation is on its last breath. In some areas, cracks have already started to form in its barriers. Slowly, but surely, they're breaking down. Within a day or two, the entire construct will collapse under the immense spatial pressure imposed by both the galactic and universal wills.
It has reached its final stage.
[A/N: Finally, I'm starting the actual Space Ark phase! This chapter served as the foundation—just the beginning. The next one will build up a bit more before we dive into the exciting part you've all been waiting for. And let me promise you this: you're definitely going to enjoy those upcoming chapters!]
