Ninth class citizen

Chapter 376 The First Presidential Pardon

"Beep." The electronic door unlocked. Hayden sat quietly in the only chair in the room with his back to the door, showing no intention of turning around.

He could guess who was coming from behind him, and he knew what else they wanted to ask.

None of that really matters anymore; Hayden just wants to end it all as soon as possible.

I acted somewhat impulsively yesterday, but I don't regret it.

Once upon a time, he was also a high-ranking member, looking down on the lower-level trainees. But in the past few months, he has experienced a different perspective, tasting the bitterness of discrimination and humiliation.

So, his future was ruined and he was sent back to his hometown, which was probably what he deserved.

The person outside coughed and called his name: "Haydon? You can leave now."

Hayden paused for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at the members of the school's disciplinary team at the door. His sky-blue eyes narrowed slightly, concealing the bewilderment in them.

"What are you still standing there for?" The patrolman, who had been so serious and indifferent before, smiled and said, "You don't actually want to spend the night here, do you? Hurry up, there are people waiting for you outside."

Hayden got up and picked up his coat, which was hanging on the back of the chair.

"Where is Yu Lin?" he asked.

“If you’re alright, then of course he’ll be fine too.” The patrolman’s smile deepened.

I originally thought he was a lowly person with no background, good for nothing except for his good looks. But I never expected that he was an old acquaintance of that important person. His future must be bright.

The disciplinary officers eagerly led the way, guiding him all the way to the hall.

A woman dressed in a long black robe with silver trim was looking at him with a slight smile. Sunlight streamed in through the open door, framing her with a bright golden edge.

Even though Hayden was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel emotional at this moment.

"How did this bother you?" He hurriedly walked up to Nan Rong. "It's just a small matter."

"Almost getting fired is a small matter?" Nan Rong curled her lip. "And she almost implicated Yu Lin as well."

It was only at this moment that Hayden noticed the person standing beside Nan Rong.

"I'm so sorry," he said sincerely. "I really didn't want to drag you into this."

Yu Lin waved his hand dismissively: "I was just telling the truth. Nobody would have thought that those people would dare to tamper with the surveillance records, so it's not your fault."

"Alright, let's leave here first and go grab a bite to eat?" Nan Rong suggested.

Hayden looked around in surprise. Captain Cao and a group of members of the school discipline inspection team were standing behind him, with all sorts of smiles on their faces, making no attempt to stop him.

On the other side, Mr. Milo, a member of the school's disciplinary committee who was always ruthless towards lower-class citizens, also managed to maintain an unnatural smile.

No one objected to Nan Rong's proposal.

“Thank you, but I can’t leave.” A resolute look appeared in Hayden’s eyes: “You’ve only just arrived, and many people are watching you. There’s no need for you to be labeled as interfering in the academy’s internal management for the sake of someone like me.”

"Is there?" Nan Rong raised her eyes and looked at the person behind her.

Captain Cao shook his head repeatedly: "It's our fault. We didn't discover in time that the surveillance video had been maliciously modified, and we almost wronged an innocent person."

Mr. Milo interjected, "What happened today was just a misunderstanding. The academy will provide compensation to the two students through other means."

With his final assessment, Hayden could say nothing more.

Nan Rong's hovercar was parked outside the Supervisory Commission building, its rose-gold exterior gleaming in the sunlight, dazzling and blinding, making it difficult to look directly at. While in the car, Yu Lin told Hayden what had happened earlier.

Milo must have received instructions from the Star Chief of Seanda, as he agreed to release the person without causing much trouble.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you," Hayden said, looking down.

"Don't be so polite." Nan Rong wasn't used to her former classmates using honorifics with her.

But both he and Yu Lin felt it was a matter of course and had no intention of changing it.

“What may seem like a small matter to you is a major issue concerning our future and destiny,” Yu Lin said.

Neither of them mentioned Sena. She was the source of this incident, but both of them felt it was best to let it go and didn't dare to expect too much.

But Nan Rong didn't think so.

"Let's wait a bit," she said. "We can't just suffer this loss for nothing."

The airship stopped on Nan Rong's private air island.

The new residence was larger in scale, more magnificent in architecture, and more luxurious in its interior than the two of them had ever seen before.

Nan Rong invited them over, not just for a meal.

She gave each of the two people a vial of gene evolution fluid.

Yu Lin and Hayden had both used the second-order gene optimization agent before, so Nan Rong provided the third-order A-grade gene evolution fluid.

After improving the synthesis pattern of the gene optimizer based on the "Basic Secret Text", the probability of ion storms occurring has increased significantly, occurring once or twice in almost every ten potion synthesis attempts.

This piqued Nan Rong's interest, and he plans to conduct further research in the near future to find out the patterns of ion storms.

The resulting gene evolution fluid shouldn't be wasted. Nan Rong naturally wanted to prioritize the students she found agreeable, allowing them to benefit first.

Both Yu Lin and Hayden felt dizzy and disoriented, as if they were dreaming, after drinking the "Level A Gene Evolution Fluid."

But the benefits they received did not stop there; they also gained the entire spiritual Haifa.

The human brain in lower dimensions is incredibly fragile, which is why Nan Rong divided the mental sea magic into ten parts for gradual progress.

However, for a very few exceptional individuals, she can allocate a small amount of her pale golden spiritual energy to reinforce their spiritual sea point-to-point, just as the Great Demon King once did to her.

Hayden and Yu Lin had a great time, enjoying a delicious meal in a daze, before being transported back by the hovercar.

Before they even entered the dormitory, they heard some earth-shattering news.

Just now, the Presidential Office issued the latest order on the appointment and dismissal of senior personnel.

The former star commander of Sleipnir, Seanda, was dismissed from his post and formally arrested on suspicion of multiple crimes, including corruption, abuse of power, illegal misappropriation of federal assets, and collusion with space pirates.

The newly appointed Star Commander of Sleipnir is none other than Yu Hong, who has just received a presidential pardon and is Yu Lin's father.

This is the first pardon issued by the President since taking office.

The fact that Yu Hong, a third-class citizen, was appointed as the head of the Sleipnir star, a position traditionally reserved for second-class citizens, has puzzled many people.

Despite their confusion, many students still managed to track down Yu Lin's whereabouts and deliberately waited in front of the dormitory building in an attempt to befriend him.
