Chapter 89 The Dilemma of the Mixed-Blood Orcs
However, the family members among the graduates also knew that the academy's support and resources for their education were limited.

Because the reputation, honor, and wealth they earn after graduation are for themselves and their families, not for the academy.

They are not part of the academy's inner circle.

"Barnett, I heard that there are 30 spots for outstanding graduates this year, is that right?"

In a corner of the venue.

An elder from the family surrounded a young man dressed in a student uniform and said seriously, "Are you not even among these 30 spots? Aren't your academic performances usually excellent, consistently ranking in the top 30 this year?"

These middle-class families highly value the title of "Outstanding Graduate of the Interstellar Academy".

Once you are recognized as an outstanding graduate, you will receive an exclusive badge awarded by the academy.

This represents the growth potential of a young orc. No matter what field he enters in the future, he will become a hot commodity. Top families, super powers, and wealthy groups will not refuse such young talents.

They even imagined:

If the younger generation is successful and can secure a place in the upper echelons of the Federation, becoming a star lord of a small star region and controlling the operation of a star region, that would be true freedom and comfort, with both money and power.

The young man named Barnett shook his head, his eyes fixed on a certain spot, filled with jealousy and resentment: "Hmph, my grades are definitely good enough, and my overall qualities are absolutely good enough for an excellent grade, but the academy prefers mixed-blood orcs. Those two low-level guys, Victor and Cori, are ranked behind me, but they took my spot! It's absolutely outrageous!"

"what?!"

The elders of the family also looked over and saw two gray-haired youths sitting to the side. They were handsome and looked alike. They were clinking glasses with each other in a carefree manner, not caring at all about the exclusion and gossip of the family members around them.

"They are twin brothers."

Barnett said, "I heard that their ancestors were pure-blooded wolves, but their descendants mated indiscriminately, so their bloodline became thinner and thinner, approaching zero. Now they are just two mixed-blood wolves. Ha, how ridiculous. I'm afraid these two poor guys don't even know which lineage they belong to. They are just bastards."

"That's so unfair."

The elder in the family slammed his fist on the table: "I'm going to find your advisor right now. The awards should be based on merit and ranking. The outstanding graduate should be yours. Besides, your younger brother is about to take the entrance exam, so this is not good for him either!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the high platform of the ceremony hall, where the academy's high-ranking officials were all seated. The higher one's status, the higher one's seat.

The mentor he found was at the beginner level.

"Hey? Uncle Drew, wait a minute!"

Barnett looked anxious and tried to call out to his elders, but they wouldn't listen to him.

Seeing this, many of the family students in the hall were somewhat gloating.

"Hmph, Barnett was just unlucky. He was in the perfect position and got pushed down."

"However, he comes from a middle-class family. Does he really expect the academy to make an exception for him? The academy has always favored mixed-blood beastmen because they can stay and serve the academy after graduation. Therefore, they should naturally be given more honor and treatment."

“Victor and Cori, these two mixed-bloods, are arguably the two best in this year’s class, so it’s not surprising that the academy favors them.”

"Today is the graduation ceremony. I heard even the legendary Dean of the Inner Court is in attendance. How dare he go up there and cause trouble?"

There was a collective sigh in the room.

But they all seemed to be just watching for fun.

Because every student at the Interstellar Academy knows that the academy's internal teaching committee is not to be trifled with.

Especially that mysterious dean, although he never interferes in the trivial matters of the garden, he has absolute say in some important matters.

……

Barnett's class advisor, Lin Lun, frowned as he looked at the menacing Drew.

He stood up and said, "This is not a place for a student's family member. Please leave." "Hmph, you must be Instructor Lin Lun?"

"I heard that Barnett of our clan is clearly among the top in terms of overall quality, so why did the school's teaching committee use two inferior mixed-bloods to replace his honors? As Barnett's tutor, shouldn't you give an explanation? Or are you condoning this phenomenon?"

The ceremony venue was crowded with people.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the first-floor platform.

Lin Lun said coldly, "These are the school's rules. They've been in place since before Barnett even enrolled. If you didn't agree, why did you even bother with the entrance exam in the first place?"

"in other words."

Lin Lun paused and then said, "The Federation also provides preferential treatment and policies for certain specific groups. Would you say that's unfair? When family members ostracize and bully mixed-blood orcs, would you stand up and say it's unfair?"

“You—” Drew was speechless.

“Since your family looks down on mixed-blood orcs, you must have a hierarchy in your mind. There is no need for you to use fairness as a bargaining chip to ask me for an explanation.”

Lin Lun said as he sat back down in his seat.

Drew felt embarrassed when he saw the other party's attitude. He glanced down and saw that everyone was looking at him with mockery.

Then, in a moment of panic, he said, "Instructor Lin Lun, how can you treat your own students like this, and even speak up for the mixed-blood orcs? It's only because you're also mixed-blood. Hmph, ha, you're all birds of a feather!"

"!"

These words caused an uproar below.

Because these words are different in nature from the previous ones; they contain an attack on the mentor, which is disrespectful.

Although Lin Lun is only a class tutor, he represents the face of the Interstellar Academy.

Sure enough, Lin Lun's brows were furrowed deeply.

Because he was also a student at the Interstellar Academy at the beginning, and later stayed at the academy to teach after graduation.

From the moment he enrolled, he sensed the extreme contempt, rejection, and disdain that many families within the Federation held for mixed-blood orcs.

Even at the academy, many family members bullied him. Since family members banded together and had the advantage of numbers, and very few mixed-blood orcs possessed talent, they were always the ones being bullied.

Could it be that their mixed bloodline makes it impossible for them to change this situation? Why can't a peerless genius with mixed blood emerge to reverse this trend?

"What, Instructor Lin Lun has nothing to say?!"

Drew was aggressive, clearly determined to win this honor for Barnett.

Down below, Barnett was getting anxious. He kept waving to his elders, trying to get Drew to come down, but they ignored him.

"Everyone, look closely! Nine out of ten instructors in the academy are mixed-blood orcs, or come from neutral small families. With such bias, how can they possibly teach their students well?!"

"Why don't we all take advantage of this graduation ceremony to unite and demand an explanation for us family members? The school rules need to be changed! What do you all say?!"

Drew finished speaking with great confidence, but no one responded.

People were even looking at him like he was an idiot, and some even looked away.

It seems like she wants to distance herself from him.

Why is everyone so silent?
