Song Junlang did not speak. He quietly looked at Xiao Lin as he waited for a reply.

After a long time, Xiao Lin looked up with a bitter look on his face. "I don't know."

Song Junlang was not surprised at the answer, nodding as he said, "That's normal. Every new student works themselves to the bone thanks to the picture the academy paints, but the nearer they get to that picture, the more they realize that there are some differences between the reality and their dreams."

He remembered the hot-blooded passion everyone felt when they heard about the colonists' goals during the entrance ceremony. No, even now, most of the students were relying on that passion as their pillar of support, constantly attending classes every day and examinations every month.
