Chapter Summaries

He Muzhi staged his injuries and convinced the teachers that Brian had attacked him and injured himself in a fall, while Class 6 covered up the incident and spread mocking posts about Brian. He then told Class 6 what Qin Su had said about his darker side, leaving his classmates unsettled as Brian woke in the school hospital and called Greyliff.

• He Muzhi recounted his conversation with Qin Su to Class 6, said Qin Su remained their Class Monitor, and dismissed the unsettled students without extra training.
• Brian woke in the school hospital in pain and requested a video call with Greyliff.

Brian’s father, Greyliff, warned him to stop provoking Class 6, while He Muzhi and the school doctors left Brian suffering in the hospital. After the academy’s returning students faced heavy casualties, Qin Su sent Class 6 on early internships to departments and military districts, including places at odds with their families, and the teachers wondered what his plans meant.

• Greyliff ended Brian’s call after ordering him not to provoke He Muzhi or anyone else in Class 6.
• He Muzhi’s refusal to let doctors touch Brian without permission led the hospital staff to delay treating his injuries and handle him roughly.
• Qin Su kept Class 6 training during the other classes’ missions and arranged internships for every student at destinations suited to their hometowns, often on opposing sides.
• Students returned to the Fourth Military Academy after missions, where the academy reported many deaths and some Class of 27 students withdrew.
• He Muzhi told teachers that Qin Su had arranged early internships for Class 6 in different departments on different planets, and the teachers questioned why he had sent them there.

He Muzhi realized Qin Su had deliberately assigned Class 6 students to similar internships among their rivals, while the class tried to interpret the plan and endured increasingly dangerous postings. As the students began to adapt and fight back, Qin Su abruptly gathered the officials who had arranged their placements into a video call, exposing the breadth of his influence and leaving them shaken.

• He Muzhi noticed that Qin Su’s internship list grouped Class 6 students together and suspected Qin Su was monitoring them, but he kept his suspicions to himself.
• Class 6 discussed Qin Su’s intentions, agreed to share internship reports and hold weekly video calls, then scattered across rival territories for their placements.
• During the first call, Raymond revealed he had been stranded on war-torn Xievisuo Planet, He Muzhi concealed that the Cyborg Army had captured him, and Sophia hid the reason for her confinement.
• At the second weekly call, Qin Su saw that Class 6 had improved and begun resisting their mistreatment.
• Qin Su pulled everyone who had recommended a Class 6 student into a video call, then identified himself as its organizer, startling them with the apparent reach of his network.

Qin Su gathered undercover allies from enemy camps, told them to observe Class 6 without intervening, and cut the call short before they could memorize everyone. A week later, Hobert witnessed Raymond retaliate against Federation personnel who had abandoned him in Zevisto, while Qin Su listened through Raymond’s Optical Brain and accepted that they had finally met.

• Qin Su warned the assembled undercover agents that Class 6 would soon become active and ordered them to visit the students without drawing attention or helping them.
• After Qin Su ended the call, Hobert refused Zhang Yuanzhong’s invitation to confront Gibson and wrote down the names he could remember from the meeting.
• A week later in Zevisto, Hobert saw Raymond in a Rebels’ Combat Suit after Raymond destroyed a Federation warship and confronted the colleagues who had abandoned him.
• Raymond sent Hobert and several others away, forced the remaining Federation personnel into Zevisto Governing Executive Combat Suits, and called the Rebels to capture them.
• Raymond admitted to himself that he felt no guilt for betraying the Federation personnel, while Qin Su listened through Raymond’s Optical Brain and trusted Raymond to follow his own pace.

Qin Su suspected that the Cyborg Army’s masked deputy commander might be He Wenyuan and secretly ordered He Muzhi to strip him. As Class 6 resolved to impress Qin Su with their schemes, He Muzhi was escorted from prison as part of a new batch of modification subjects.

• Qin Su questioned whether He Wenyuan was truly dead after noticing a familiar quality in the deputy commander, but 777 insisted He Wenyuan had been killed.

• After six days of preparation, He Muzhi posed as an expendable test subject and was escorted out of the prison.

He Muzhi entered the Ossotalia Empire’s horrific modification laboratory with a group of soldiers, relying on Aldrich’s help to avoid being recognized. Just as he began observing the facility, the white humanoid singled him out and ordered him forward.

• He Muzhi recalled how Aldrich had secretly supplied him with information and confirmed that the route to the abandoned prison’s laboratory was lightly guarded.
• After an escorting soldier fired a warning shot, He Muzhi moved toward the front of the group and saw Aldrich, the deputy commander, and the bloodstained laboratory.

• He Muzhi approached the white-armored deputy commander as the soldiers carried out their planned distraction, while Aldrich looked for a place to hide.
• The deputy commander killed a soldier with his mechanical hand, and He Muzhi noticed details that suggested the figure was Xuan Jingcheng, though the man’s black eyes made him suspect He Wenyuan instead.

• He Muzhi shot the weak points in He Wenyuan’s modified limbs and devices, disabling them and dragging him toward the grinder.
• Aldrich disguised himself in a dead hostage’s clothes and fled toward the exit while the other hostages gained the upper hand.

• Qin Su appeared above the prison beneath a fleet of enormous spaceships and told the people who had stopped in the danger zone to move.

Qin Su lured the crowd away from the prison, then ordered a massive bombardment that reduced it to a sea of fire while he secretly endured the heat and gained Native Favorability. Felix learned of the destruction and, suspecting something had happened to his new pet, mobilized forces and rushed toward the scene.

• When the vacation ended, Class 6 gathered at the Jump Points and traded stories about their colleagues and superiors suffering mishaps, while Hobert recognized Raymond's account as a cover for his disappearance.
• Observers speculated that Qin Su had sent Class 6 out to familiarize them with their future targets, including the possibility that He Muzhi might eventually claim the Ossotalia Empire.

After the Fourth Military Academy sealed its Modified Human laboratory, Qin Su gathered the school and quietly read Class 6’s detailed internship logs in public.

At the Fourth Military Academy’s semester meeting, Qin Su let the assembled students and staff inspect Class 6’s intelligence logs before presenting footage from Osotaria’s Modification Laboratory. The recording exposed the brutal slaughter of abducted hostages and ended with He Muzhi carrying out Qin Su’s orders to destroy the laboratory; Aiseboer then asked He Muzhi to speak.

• School leaders gathered early and speculated that Qin Su had deliberately displayed Class 6’s intelligence logs to show confidence in their abilities.
• Students arrived, saw Qin Su seated beside the academy’s leaders, and hurried to compose themselves as they entered the venue.
• Aiseboer gave the semester’s opening speech and announced that everyone would watch a recording instead of hearing the expected speeches from Class 6.
• Aiseboer played surveillance footage of He Muzhi killing He Wenyuan in the Modification Laboratory, revealing the fate of many abducted hostages and unsettling the audience.
• The recording showed Qin Su ordering extreme heat to destroy the laboratory, its staff, and its machinery.
• After the venue fell silent and many people looked toward He Muzhi, Aiseboer asked him whether he had anything to say.

After Qin Su left the Fourth Military Academy’s opening ceremony, students focused on the surveillance footage of He Muzhi killing He Wenyuan, and the uncensored recording spread across StarNet. Class 6 interpreted the incident as a lesson in ruthlessness and gathered at their secret base to discuss how to train, ending with questions about how and whom to train on.

• He Muzhi answered Aiseboer that he would keep working hard, while Qin Su exchanged farewells with Xu Zhen and left the ceremony.
