Chapter 610 - 610 Soft Exit
"Kian. How did you get this number?" Meredith asked in a not so happy voice. There was obvious annoyance instead.
"It was easy. I have a system that could hack anything in this world." Our bored gamer answered and this was practically true up to a certain point.
"Good for you then. Please don't call me again." Meredith said coldly.
"BEEP!" The call ended abruptly in the next second.
* * *
"No hope whatsoever." Clark shook his head in his head. He tried calling again but to no avail. It seemed like Meredith had already blocked his number at this time.
Our good gamer could have instructed Nancy to bypass through the blockade but alas, he knew when to push and when to stop.
"At least I got a second try before I gave up."
"There's too many fishes in the sea after all." Our avid gamer smiled and decided to stop at this point.
Nevertheless, he did not forget that this may give him a very very long 5 months of wait with nothing gained whatsoever.
"Sleep, eat and repeat. This will be my sad schedule from now on."
"SIGH!" Clark lamented for the umpteenth time before he prepared himself for the duration of his stay in Moon Grave.
* * *
Days passed and in a blink of an eye, 5 months flew by into the past.
"Congratulations, Guardians!"
"From now on, the fate of ten thousand worlds rests upon your shoulders!"
"Glory to the Alliance!" Master Sergeant Davis roared wildly. This was the graduation rites that happened in culmination of the guardian training.
"Glory to the Alliance!" One thousand eight hundred thirty two boys and girls answered in a deafening shout.
The funny green uniforms were gone and what replaced it was a shining blue one which was made exciting by the intricate designs on its surface.
This was the natural hue of the human alliance and the graduates were truly proud to wear them.
The 5,000 history of humanity was long and brilliant and every single one of them dreamed of making their mark in this world. As brave heroes that would defy even the very Devil himself!
"There will be a warship that will arrive on the morrow."
"It will take you home and after you are ready, the same crew of space men and women will deliver you all to your stations in the future."
"Most of you will find yourselves in remote outposts since that is where the most optimal place of growth is."
"Be strong! Have faith! And I hope that we meet again someday!"
"I am proud of you, guardians!" Master Sergeant Davis saluted and he may have yelled his loudest shout at this time. It was obvious that he cared for these young boys and girls.
Unfortunately, he knew that the majority of them will die after they leave this place. This was just the harsh reality of new recruits.
To be kicked off to the most dangerous places and hope that someone will achieve their second awakening in the dire face of death.
"Tonight! We party!" Davis cheered after almost 2 thousand souls returned his salute.
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" The boys roared in glory and an upbeat music began playing in full. Some danced and jumped like crazy but the same could not be said to our very own protagonist.
Clark merely enjoyed the food and surprisingly enough, there were strong beverages in the scene.
"Now this is a true cause for celebration." Our bored gamer grinned and began to feast without care. He could not remember the last time that he had been drunk in his life.
Clark ate in abandon and pushed them down with a liter of beer for lubrication.
"DING!"
"Since the host has taken 1 poisonous drug, he has learned the technique called Chemical Immunity." Nancy announced in a happy voice. The fresh data then arrived afterwards.
* * *

"FUCK ME!" Clark muttered after drinking the whole liter down his belly. He did not expect to hear this notification at all.
'Can I turn off this Chemical Immunity ability, Nancy?' He asked his most loyal system.
"Negative, host. You cannot deactivate a passive ability." Nancy replied sadly.
"I see." Clark mumbled and brought up the description of the new skill.
Chemical Immune – makes the user insusceptible to mind and body altering drugs and substances. (passive skill)
"Well, there goes my wish to get drunk again." Our bored gamer gazed at the lines of beer nearby and his enthusiasm was cut by half at this realization.
Nonetheless, the aroma of food woke him up quickly and then he ate in silence thereafter.

Morning came and Spark 3291 arrived early. The guardians left and most of them wondered why they did not see Colonel Antonio Harper in their departure.
Everyone was welcomed by the commander 1 by 1 when they first got here but after that, there was nothing.
The passing curiosity did not last for long as they wanted to see their families now more than ever.
Thus, they will have to spend more or less 1 month of space travel before the warship could send everyone back to their home planets.
Of course, not all of them have someone or something to go home to.
"There's no one waiting for me, Captain. I wish to proceed to my outpost." An 18 year old boy requested.
"Same here."
"And with me also."
"As do i." In the end, 4 souls were the only wolves amongst the sheep. One of the 4 was of course our very own protagonist.
The one month was over and the 4 finally were the only guardians left on the ship. They did not continue their journey further but only arrived at what seemed like an inactive portal in space.
The construct was so big that it could easily accommodate tens of thousands of warships all at the same time.
"Interesting!" Clark said as he looked at this giant eerie device.
