Harrison Clark jumped out of the machine and rubbed his head.

His head felt a bit heavy.

It was his first time experiencing this kind of brainwave interference, where images were directly constructed inside the brain, and precise microcurrents stimulated various brain areas to simulate the five senses. He was a bit unaccustomed to it.

But he couldn’t deny that it was the best training method since the real control mechanism of the Galaxy Equipment was based on brainwave synchronization.

Facing such complex and highly automated equipment, physical control could only play an auxiliary role, and the primary control had to rely on the brain.

The sensation of connecting to the system was akin to his previous experience during brainwave synchronization training.

“Lion, how’s my level?”

Daniel Thompson looked up at the sky, with tears silently streaming down his face, “It’s… not bad.”

Harrison Clark nodded, “Oh.”

Pfft!

No one knew who burst out laughing in the crowd.

Daniel Thompson was so embarrassed he became angry, “Who! Who’s laughing! Making noise during teaching time, do you believe I will make you run laps!?”

Poor Lion was mad.

Feeling familiar with the laughter, Harrison Clark turned his head to look behind Daniel Thompson, his eyes lit up.

Harrison Clark laughed, very naturally.

He could feel his inner joy.

Although he was confident that every time, there would always be her, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy without seeing her in person, only settling down quietly upon every reunion.

It was nice.

Daniel Thompson also looked back, and at the same time, a chilling voice rang in his ear.

Lion’s heart jolted, and he shouted out.

Oh no!

His originally agile body instantly became rigid, and his turning motion suddenly slowed down, like a rusty clock hand.

“Instructor Daniel Thompson, it was me who laughed, what’s the matter? Should I run laps? How many?”

Behind Daniel Thompson stood a woman with elegant long hair.

Wearing a resolute general’s uniform, she stood with her hands behind her back, her face adorned with a smile and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Gulp.

Lion swallowed, but his throat still felt dry, and his heart was uneasy while his smile was round, “Gen… General, why are you here? I… I was just joking.”

The person who arrived was Nora Camp, the head of Black Bear Training Base, Fleet Commander of Giant Wave Vertical Team, and Major General.

According to usual military rules, disrupting teaching order indeed warrants punishment, but this does not apply to Nora Camp who holds control over the entire base.

It wasn’t special privilege but only because she was the chief instructor who could intervene in any class at any time.

Nora Camp was still smiling, “A genius who scored 98 in proficiency the first time using the simulator appeared at my base, is it strange that I was curious and wanted to see? Any problem?”

“No… no problem.”

Lion felt the mysterious call from the Pluto mining area.

Thank goodness, he had temporarily escaped the disaster of mining, and even received a great deal of accolades from Nora Camp, praising his dedication to helping others and his ability to communicate with the new recruits.

His earlier on-site lecture introducing Galaxy Warriors to the new recruits was already recorded as one of the excellent teaching materials options, and if it passed the review, it might even be widely adopted by the army.

“Congratulations, Instructor Thompson. If selected, you will receive a second- class commendation, a promotion to the rank of Major, a proportional increase in welfare benefits, and a chance to participate in General Brown’s group lecture. Personally, I think the chances are pretty good.”

So said Nora Camp.

Daniel Thompson’s inner turmoil vanished in an instant, and he became very excited, “Thankyou, General!”

“You’re welcome, it’s well deserved.”

Marthus worriedly said, “Instructor, I heard that there’s no return from General Brown’s lecture, most of the time people get beaten badly, with broken hands and legs considered light injuries.”

Daniel Thompson glared at him, “You don’t know anything! Getting beaten by a peak-level expert is also an opportunity to learn.”

Marthus: “Isn’t there a first-person teaching video and training guide?”

Daniel Thompson continued, “You still don’t know anything! There’s a big difference between watching a lecture video and experiencing it face-to-face; even the first-person perspective isn’t as intuitive. My own skill level is just about that, but I’m a veteran instructor, and I have extensive training experience, and I’m good at absorbing others’ insights. My main goal is to gain knowledge and improve teaching plans for you brats. And I won’t die, so why should I be afraid! Get it?”

Everyone nodded furiously in agreement.

Harrison Clark gently patted Daniel Thompson’s shoulder, “Lion, you worked hard, I will avenge you.”

Daniel Thompson glared, “Bah! Don’t say such inauspicious words! Call me Instructor!”

Nora Camp interrupted Daniel Thompson’s swagger, “Harrison Clark, come over here with me for a moment. We need to talk. The rest of you, continue your training.”

As early as when Harrison Clark’s awakening level began to grow again, Dr. Owen, the base’s technical director, submitted this interesting change to Nora Camp.

Nora Camp, who was idle at the time, immediately began tracking Harrison Clark’s situation, and incidentally saw the small joke Daniel Thompson had made earlier, like introducing Harrison Clark to matchmaking events or participating in selection contests, and also heard Daniel Thompson’s words before introducing the Galaxy Equipment.

Following behind Nora Camp, Harrison Clark’s heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he began to get excited.

He remembered the words he and his wife said last time after they finished watching a movie together.

Could it be that this time, the bond between the two of them has become stronger?

Can I really win her over with just a pinky swear?

Are we going to play chess now?

It’s so sudden, and I haven’t mentally prepared myself.

But now that her awakening level is higher than mine, can I hold on, will I survive?

And last time, before she sacrificed herself, she asked me to make the movie better so that she could immerse herself in it as a child, knowing in advance that I would come.Did I do it?

Is the new version of “Compound Eye Crisis” a flop or a hit?

Did she watch it? Did she get immersed?

Harrison Clark’s mind was suddenly flooded with a million questions.

Being a Galactic Human with quick thinking is not always a good thing.

“What are you thinking about, Harrison? You’re so lost in thought, and grinning like a fool.”

It’s unclear how much time had passed or where he had wandered to when Nora Camp’s voice drifted from a distant horizon, pulling him back to reality.

Harrison snapped back to attention, “Ah, no… I wasn’t thinking about anything. Hi… hey! General Camp, what can I do for you?”

“It’s nothing much, I’m just a little curious about you. I’ve seen your personal information, and your family for generations have been ordinary workers, with no Galactic Human awakening more than 35%. Your mutation has surpassed the traditional level of your family genes, a whole 6% higher than your parents.”

Harrison scratched his head, “Really?”

“Yes, you had already reached your limit before, but you’ve started improving again. I was already surprised, but your performance in this training truly amazed me. You don’t seem like a rookie, but rather a top-tier veteran who has endured countless trials by fire. You have a killer instinct.”

Nora Camp looked at him with keen interest.

Harrison felt her gaze was very sharp, as if it could pierce his eyes.

He had mixed feelings.

He didn’t know whether Nora was genuinely curious, or if he had just shown off his skills too much, arousing some unpleasant suspicion in her.

Even though he knew her every inch, this was, after all, a completely new encounter.

Separated by their hearts, Harrison couldn’t be sure how much her values and personality had changed in this new time.

After a brief consideration, Harrison decided to take a more conservative approach in his response and asked, “Is it very rare for someone to surpass their family’s genes?”

Nora Camp shook her head, “Not particularly rare, there’s about a one percent chance.”

Harrison asked again, “Is it rare for someone to have a natural talent for controlling Galaxy Equipment?”

Nora Camp nodded, “Rare indeed. People who can score over ninety in proficiency assessments in their first attempt and exhibit 90% of their physical abilities are about one in a billion.”

Harrison shrugged, “Well, with a population of 26.5 billion people, I am one out of 26.5 billion. Isn’t that reasonable?”

Sigh…

At first, Nora Camp’s eyes widened, and then her expression slowly changed.

That answer was way beyond expectation.

“Logical and convincing,” she said, suppressing her urge to laugh.

Harrison shrugged, “Isn’t that right?”

“Pfft!” Nora Camp couldn’t hold it back any longer, she covered her mouth and laughed for a while before finally calming down and saying, “You’re really interesting.”

Harrison laughed as well, “Thankyou for the compliment.”

As long as he’s interesting, he could be even more so.

With a shrug.

You see, that’s how easy it is to charm a woman.

Just a few words to make her interested, and that’s when her curiosity is piqued.

When a woman becomes curious about a man, it’s almost as if she’s pregnant with possibility.

“Alright then, given your performance in the training, you have now met the standards for real combat. From this moment forward, you are a qualified Galaxy Warrior. I hereby grant you a special promotion. Also, as you now formally become a Galaxy Warrior, your military rank is automatically promoted to staff sergeant. Of course, your agreement is required for this to happen. Do you agree?”

Harrison didn’t hesitate in nodding, “Of course, I agree!”

“Very well, I shall personally lead you in taking the official oath as a member of the Human Defense Force. Repeat after me,” Nora Camp’s expression became solemn.

Harrison became serious as well, “Okay.”

Nora Camp: “From this day forth,”

Harrison: “From this day forth,”

Nora Camp: “I swear…”

Harrison: “I swear, to join the Human Defense Force! I will gaze upon the stars, guarding the eternal flame! I will train relentlessly, with utmost dedication!”

The beauty of language lies in the fact that a simple sentence, when spoken by the right person, can inexplicably stir emotions deep within the heart.

As he recited the oath, Harrison’s mind was filled with images of humanity’s countless desperate yet unyielding struggles and his own arduous journey, and his tone grew heavier.

Nora Camp: “No matter…”

Harrison: “No matter who the enemy is, where they come from, or what they want, whether victory is possible, I shall draw my sword and fight for the survival and defense of humanity! To my last breath! Regardless of success or failure!”

Nora Camp could hear the nuances in Harrison’s tone.

Although humans had prepared for the final war for a thousand years and had been mentally prepared for it for five hundred years, the soldiers were already aware of their dedication.

However, Harrison’s taking of the oath today had a very special feel for her.

She had led thousands of new recruits in taking the oath at large-scale enlistment ceremonies before.

At this moment, there was only Harrison by her side, and the oath shouldn’t feel particularly solemn.

Yet, the same words spoken by this man inexplicably held a powerful force that made her heart race and her blood surge.

After a few seconds of composed silence, Nora finally said slowly, “Good, very good.”

Her curiosity about Harrison grew even stronger.

Suddenly, she said, “Harrison, I’ve decided to hold the Optimized Combination Pairing Selection Competition at the end of next month. Will you participate? You’re the first person I’ve invited, and the only one I will personally invite.”
