After handing the Pure Gold over to Luo's surgical laboratory.

Noah did not leave the moon, but instead went to the City of Light on the far side of the moon.

The primary function of City of Light is education and training.

The city has 15 institutions of higher learning, including the Moon Institute of Science and Technology, the Life and Medical College, the Ohara College of History, the Dawn Military Academy, the Carnegie Comprehensive College, the Space Exploration College, and the College of Planetary Geology and Climate.

The Moon Governorate, whose population is approaching 100 million, has more than a dozen institutions of higher learning that are not enough.

However, since the younger generation is not yet of college age, many of those who are of college age have joined the military or started working, so the dozen or so higher education institutions are currently sufficient.

Noah arrived silently, without notifying the school administrators.

The entire City of Light is a huge academy city. Of its hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, 80% are students, 10% are faculty and staff, and 10% are service personnel.

Strolling along the street, above you is an artificial sky dome that simulates the natural sky, clouds, and the Sun.

Although it is a city, it does not have the feel of a steel forest. Instead, it is a garden city full of lawns, shrubs, jungles, streams and Flower Garden.

"An, I heard you're going to participate in the fleet pilot assessment?"

A playful and cute voice came from not far away.

Before my eyes were two lovely girls, probably around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Noah casually found a bench to sit on, then beckoned to a vending robot not far away and bought a bottle of lemon tea from it.

"Yes! I've already signed up," the girl named Ann replied casually. She had also bought a vanilla ice cream from the vending robot.

The playful girl said with some worry, "Isn't it too dangerous? I heard that Blue Planet right now."

Ann took a bite of her ice cream. "My hometown is still under the rule of those evil nobles. If it weren't for the Liberator Organization's rescue, I would have been sold into slavery by the Celestial Dragons long ago."

"Actually, working in logistics can also support the front lines."

An shook her head. "No way, I still hope to liberate my hometown myself."

"Okay!" the playful girl said, sounding somewhat helpless.

Just then, a cacophony of shouts erupted from the street ahead.

A large group of students, carrying flags, megaphones, and banners, were spreading the word to other students around them.

"The military is recruiting 30,000 staff officers; interested students should apply quickly..."

"For the liberation of the world, as the new youth of the Kingdom of Dawn, we have an unshirkable duty..."

"The evil Celestial Dragons and nobles are still lording it over Blue Planet. We can no longer remain silent; the world needs us..."

This kind of advertising is very common.

The students who had just immigrated didn't know much about the war between the Kingdom of Dawn and the World Government, while the senior students who had been with the Kingdom of Dawn for several years understood that the World Government and the Kingdom of Dawn would inevitably have to fight to the death in the future.

If the Kingdom of Dawn fails on Blue Planet, then the Moon Governorate might not be able to hold onto either.

The families of those older students have lived on the moon for several years, and they can no longer live without the moon's peace, tranquility, and prosperity.

Therefore, in order to protect their own interests, they spontaneously organized various support groups to publicize the brutality of the Celestial Dragons and nobles, as well as the inhumanity of the World Government, while also making the newly joined students understand that the Kingdom of Dawn and they are a community with a shared destiny.

In fact, the Department of Internal Affairs and the General Staff Department were also promoting this kind of propaganda work, either openly or covertly.

Although many students are ordinary people, ordinary people can still play a role, such as contributing to production, participating in logistical support work, or engaging in scientific research.

The Kingdom of Dawn is growing larger and larger, and it needs a large population in all aspects.

If we don't strengthen internal propaganda and mobilize those new immigrants, then we'll lose the point of trying to attract population.

Noah sat on the bench for more than half an hour.

The support group consisted of over fifty students. They had a clear division of labor and were very skilled in promotional techniques, clearly indicating that this was not their first time doing this kind of work.

Many of the newly immigrated students were attracted by the advertising.

After reading this, Noah vanished without a trace.

When he reappeared, he was already inside Carnegie Comprehensive College in the North District.

At this moment, the academy is holding an internal martial arts competition.

The academies in the Kingdom of Dawn generally have physical training departments, which teach the Six Powers and methods of physical exercise. To graduate, one must be proficient in two of the Six Powers and have a physical Doriki of 100, which is the minimum requirement.

Generally, physical education classes are the same as other subjects, requiring a full three years of study.

If one is exceptionally talented or has the desire to further their training, they can apply to the academy for postgraduate studies in physical skills in their third year. As long as they pass the loyalty review, they will be assigned to the Dawn Military Academy to study physical skills.

Dawn Military Academy offers more in-depth and comprehensive training, including instruction in Haki, advanced swordsmanship, advanced physical skills, life-strengthening potions, and various combat practices and methods.

The martial arts competition at Carnegie Comprehensive College of America is now used to select a group of students with exceptional physical talent, along with a group of students who have a strong desire to become stronger, and then send them to the Dawn Military Academy for graduate studies.

Of course, students with exceptional talent in physical combat are not forced to pursue postgraduate studies in that field. The academy respects individual choices, as some people genuinely dislike fighting or have other hobbies.

Noah randomly found a seat in the stadium's tiered stands and sat down.

The students participating in the martial arts competition were all third-year students, generally between 15 and 18 years old.

"Ahhh... Tekkai!" A three-meter-tall man tensed up.

His opponent, lacking any sense of sportsmanship, kicked him in the groin.

"Despicable..." The big man quickly backed away.

His opponent was a short, white-haired man about 1.8 meters tall. Seeing his opponent retreat, the white-haired man quickly closed in.

" Ruru, don't be naive. If you really want to join the Liberators, you'd better abandon this naive idea. There's no such thing as despicable or Justice in battle, because only the victor can define Justice!"

The big man was momentarily thrown into disarray.

The white-haired man swayed from side to side in an instant, then punched the other man in the thigh.

"Ugh..." The big guy woke up in pain.

However, the white-haired man had already circled behind him, quickly climbed onto his back, forcefully locked his throat with one hand, and stabbed the big man in the eye with the other. The big man was terrified.

While Tekkai can enhance physical defense, the eyes are ultimately one of the most vulnerable organs in the human body. Unless the situation reaches the point of Life Return danger, eye-gouging attacks cannot be ignored.

Beside the ring, the martial arts instructor, who was acting as the referee, appeared on the ring with a shaved head.

The white-haired man also stopped his eye-gouging action.

" Bai Lang wins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired man released his hands and feet.

Noah, sitting in the audience, watched the students' battle with great interest, noting that there were quite a few promising talents among them.

For example, this Bai Lang, although his physique is not as good as the exceptionally talented Ruru, has excellent combat thinking, which somewhat makes up for his weakness in physical strength.

Such individuals are better suited to developing Paramecia Devil Fruit because Paramecia Devil Fruit emphasize the user's intelligence, knowledge, and tactical planning.

If the Kingdom of Dawn is to wage a full-scale war against the World Government, it must have a sufficient number of high-level combat forces. Noah's visit to the academy this time is to select a group of elite seeds suitable for training and then endow them with Devil Fruit.
