The media on Capital Star were extremely dissatisfied with the decision.
Helheim Star had a particularly harsh environment, with many areas still ruled by countless vicious criminals, and it was far from Capital Star, making it very difficult for journalists to follow and report.
Some people also questioned whether the organizers were taking the lives of the freshmen too lightly.
"Even veterans going to Helheim Star have a high mortality rate, and now they’re sending a bunch of freshmen up there, is it a rush job?"
"We have comprehensive emergency plans, and Helheim Star is always under the control of the Empire."
"There are many planets to choose from, may I ask why the organizers chose Helheim Star?"
"We strive to ensure that the freshmen competition in each session leaves a profound impression on the citizens and soldiers of the Empire, and we also hope to revive the once strongest Golden Generation."
The spokesperson’s answer caused a small stir below, for there haven’t been many in history who could be called the Golden Generation, and even the group from Fu Xing a decade ago couldn’t be called the Golden Generation.
Because Fu Xing was too strong, his sudden emergence blocked the brilliance of all other geniuses, casting the rest into shadow.
Only when the strong emerge in great numbers can it be called the Golden Generation.
It was an era to remember, a crazy time, but is it possible now?
Many people couldn’t help but ask themselves.
Everyone’s gaze involuntarily shifted towards Elbert and the Royal Starship Academy, then shook their heads.
Without the strongest Mervin, what kind of Golden Generation could there be with just Xia Huangyu?
Indeed, the reporters also raised this question, even directly mentioning Xia Huangyu’s name.
Sitting below, Lin Fu’s eyes lit up, immediately turning to ask Ivan beside her, "Xia Huangyu? Is that the master who has been hidden away like a treasure by the Royal Starship Academy?"
Ivan nodded, "Yes, Xia Huangyu is indeed the ace of the Royal Starship Academy, it’s amazing that they were able to keep him hidden until now."
Xia Huangyu was not the team leader, and his name hadn’t even been circulated; Lin Fu had suddenly realized that if members of the core families from six of the Seven Guardian Dukes were present, then why was the Xia Family missing?
So she deliberately investigated and inadvertently discovered that the Royal Starship Academy had actually hidden away their strongest ace.
"When we were scrambling for seats, I thought it was strange then," Lin Fu’s brows knitted together slightly.
"I found it strange as well, the Royal Starship Academy was too accommodating. We took their seats, and I was fully prepared for a big fallout, ready for battle on the spot. But then they just let it go, thinking back on it now, it indeed seemed abnormal."
"It’s because the current team lead doesn’t command enough respect. At that kind of event, they couldn’t outfight us, but it would be different if it were Xia Huangyu."
Lei Ze, who was usually silent yet had been all ears listening to their conversation, scoffed, "If Xia Huangyu were there, no one would dare to compete with him for a seat, whether in terms of status or strength."
Lin Fu looked at Lei Ze in surprise, "Not even you?"
In the Mervin Team, with Mervin absent, the strongest were Lin Fu and Lei Ze. Although the two had not brought out their full strength to spar, Lin Fu had no doubt about Lei Ze’s abilities.
Lei Ze shook his head firmly, then added, "It’s not about daring, it’s just not worth it. It’s a losing battle, and causing a scene wouldn’t end well. Only we would be at a loss. Xia Huangyu is the dear grandson of our Principal Xia Zeming, it wouldn’t be good to make a scene that’s too unsavory."
"Admiral Xia Zeming himself is the principal of Elbert, how could he send his own grandson to the Royal Starship Academy?" Lin Fu said irritably.
