The Ultimate Star

Back to School

The two-month summer vacation passed quickly. During these two months, Edric worked hard to develop brute strength. With the help of Nan Faye, he dissolved all the bones of his left arm and successfully completed the power accumulation of his left arm. 

However, what made him depressed was that there was still no external light radiating from his body.

Nan Faye always comforted him with a smile and told him not to worry.

Edric learned a lot from Nan Faye in these two months. The latter taught him how to identify attacks, how to dodge and so on. He listened carefully. In his heart, he had already regarded Nan Faye as a great master. Now that he was about to part with him, he felt inexplicably sad.

"Don't be sad, it's not a lasting separation. When you get back to school, I'll come see you, along with your mother, when I'm free. Or just give us a call if you missed us so much." Nan Faye said with a smile. 

In fact, he was also very reluctant to let Edric go. To be more specific, Edric was also one of his students, and a top student at that. Now that he was about to be taught better, wouldn't it be a disappointment to leave him like this?

Edric nodded sadly, turned to Lindsey and said, "Mom, I'm leaving. You have to be careful at home. If those people come to trouble you again, let my uncle here take care of it. When the apartment in the Union Center is ready, I will pick you up and we'll move there."

His mother glanced at Nan Faye and forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, son. I will be fine. Just take care of yourself."

"Okay, mum."

Parting was always sad. When Lindsey saw Edric getting into the car, a few tears rolled down her eyes. She tried to hold them back and waved goodbye to her son in the car.

Edric also waved back. Before leaving, he saw Nan Faye gently wiped the tears from the corners of Lindsey's eyes with his hand, made a gesture that crying was bad for the body, smiled slightly, and felt extremely warm and relieved. At least, there was someone to take care of his mother.

In the car, Edric had already thought about the tasks for the first half of the year. There were three: first, try to reach the external stage, no matter what color the light was, at least one of them coming out would be fine.

Second, find out who was the one who was chasing him two months ago, and third, find out who commissioned those strange people to threaten him.

As for the content of their threat, Edric smiled coldly and said to himself: "It doesn't matter if you used people from that group to threaten me. It shows that you are not that powerful. If you have the guts, come out and face me." 

There was a determination light flashing in his eyes, and murderous intent too.

As for whether or not to tell Yasmin about the threat, Edric thought about it and decided not to. If he told Yasmin, she would definitely worry about him, and might even hide for his sake. He didn't want to see such a thing happen.

It was already afternoon when he arrived at school. When he got to the dormitory, he saw that his roommate had already arrived. He went up to him and greeted him warmly, and he threw his things on my bed.

The roommate said, "Edric, Hubbard from the mecha class just told me to tell you to come to Miss Alice's lab when you come. They are all waiting for you there."

"Oh, thanks." Edric nodded, packed his clothes and walked out quickly.

When he arrived at Alice's laboratory, Hubbard, Yasmin and Alice were chatting together. They looked very happy. Edric felt warm in his heart. It had been two months since he had seen such a long-lost scene. He really missed it.

"Hello, mecha star." Edric saw Hubbard's silver mecha shell shining brightly and said. "Hello Yasmin, hello Miss Alice."

"Hello Edric."

"Hello Edric."

"Hello, Edric." The latter also noticed Edric and cursed with a smile: "We have been waiting for you for a whole day."

"I'm so sorry. The car was just too slow." Edric looked outside the door and saw that no one was paying attention to this place. He closed the door of the laboratory, came to the three of them, and asked in Osei language: "Can you understand what I am saying?"

"What?" The three asked in unison.

Edric repeated it again.

"Is that bird language? Where did you learn it from?" Hubbard asked in surprise.

"This is Osei language. It's an alien language from somewhere in the universe." Edric answered, shocking everyone.

"What the hell?" Hubbard shouted.

Edric told the three of them the cosmic knowledge that Nan Faye had told him, and relayed to them that it was all because of the Seventh Star that he could speak Osei language, and then told them about the strange phenomenon that day. 

This was also the first ability of the Seventh Star that he came to learn about. He then told them how he met Nan Faye, and the events of that day. He also told the three of them about the current power of his left hand, the chase he had suffered during the holidays, and the abilities he had learned from Nan Faye.

These three were his best and most trusted friends in the academy, and he could definitely share these things with them.

The three of them were stunned by this. There were so many things waiting for them to digest. Edric kept talking until the evening before he barely finished. During this time, the three of them did not interrupt him, but their mouths all turned into the same 'OMG' shape.

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?" After saying that, Edric looked at the three people who didn't speak for a long time and asked.

"No, no." Alice shook her head and said, "It's just that it's a bit hard to accept."

"Yeah, it feels like something from a dream." Yasmin sighed.

"Hubbard, what about you?"

Hubbard said carelessly, "I believe you. I think it's impossible that you only stayed at home for two months and made up such a long and bizarre story for us to hear."

"I didn't say I didn't believe it, it just sounds too surreal..." Yasmin said with a pout.

Alice said, "I believe you too. The universe is infinite, but our knowledge is limited. We have only been imagining what the universe looks like. Now that we know it, it is inconsistent with what we imagined in our hearts, so of course we will have some doubts. But I believe that you will not lie to us for fun sake."

"Miss Alice..." Edric said, "...is there any way to learn a language instantly?"

Alice stroked her chin and thought, "There must be a way. It just so happens that a project of mine is about to bear fruit. This project is done by Yasmin and I together. If it succeeds, I will have a way to make you learn the Osei language that you want to know instantly."

"Is there such a project?" Edric asked, "I've never heard of that before."

"I call it: acute telepathy. It combines the mechanical electrical energy of the mecha with the bio-electricity of the human body to form a kind of mechanical bio-electricity, which allows both parties to share consciousness with each other. Other advanced memory situations may not be possible for the time being, but if successful, sharing language memory won't be a problem."

"Really?" Edric clapped his hands and said, "Great. This way I can also let Uncle Nan Faye learn English."

***

In the cafeteria, Hubbard smiled and said, "My current electricity consumption has reached 10%. It has increased by 6% in two months. Not bad, right?"

"Congratulations." Edric said, "But I heard from Uncle Nan Faye that the Earth's magnetic and electric fields are extremely rich, so the evolution of electrical and magnetic energy will be very fast, but in the next stage, the progress on Earth will be unimaginably slow."

"That's what I was wondering. How come so much time has passed, and no one on Earth has been able to complete 100% of the process? Now I see." Hubbard said.

Edric put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Muss Alice, Yasmin, can you let me see your summoned beasts? I miss them a little after not seeing them for two months."

"Of course." The two waved their hands, and two different animals appeared in front of Edric.

Yasmin's animal was an auxiliary healing beast, purple all over, and much larger than it was a year ago. Alice's cat has grown to the size of an adult dog, with a majestic appearance, a white tail, and four colorfully beautiful legs.

Animals evolved differently from humans, but grew tails and changed colors. The more tails, the stronger their abilities. For example, Alice's colorful cat has entered the Savage Beast stage.

And since her summoned beast had seven colors, it showed it was a very powerful beast, equivalent to a silver-white person with power. 

However, the beast did not have many skills, so although the colorful cat had a great talent, it couldn't find a good skill to practice. This also made Alice very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Edric smiled and teased the two cute summoned beasts.

"Edric, tell me, have you reached the extroverted level after these two months of training?" Hubbard suddenly asked.

Edric shook his head and said, "No, not yet."

They all sighed again, lamenting the injustice of God to their friend.

Edric suddenly said, "Let's eat first. After dinner, let's go find Mr. Yanis. I have something very important to tell him. But please, don't tell anyone else about the things that I just told you about."

After dinner, the group walked towards the residence of Dean Yanis, who lived in the eastern residential area of ​​the school. After knocking on the door and entering, Yanis smiled and asked, "To what do I owe this visit?"

Edric answered in s serious tone. "Sir, I think I've seen what the Seventh Star can do."
