Rebirth: The Universe's Hidden Heiress-Chapter 151: They Became History (1)

Kishi stepped into the classroom with the ringing of the bell for class, smiling at the young students sitting in their seats, "Good morning, everyone. Let’s begin our class."

It had been five years since the last great war between humans and the insectoids. With the threat of space pirates gone, Kishi had already regained her citizenship in the Alliance. However, she chose not to continue teaching at UUA, instead opting to teach history at an elementary school nearby.

"Today, we are going to learn about the final battle in Stardate 210," Kishi instructed the kids to open their opticomputers, then continued, "You will see that the introduction to this lesson is a poem. This poem, with its splendid language, focuses on the most significant hero of that war. Her name is..."

"Yuka Taira!" the students eagerly answered.

They spoke excitedly: "I know her, my brother once served in the Stellar Corps she formed!"

"She killed the Queen!" freёwebnoѵel.com

"She was the first to win both the solo and team competitions in the underground arena!"

Kishi didn’t interrupt them until the noise in the classroom gradually quieted down. She then continued: "Yes, the person we are talking about today is her. Let’s first read this praise poem together. The author of the poem is Morris Horn, a senior of Yuka’s when she was studying at UUA, now a famous poet."

"Now, let’s continue with the lesson," Kishi guided them to read on, "The main compiler of this lesson’s content is Tanaka Kimiko, the youngest historian in the Alliance. She was a classmate and friend of Yuka."

"Yuka entered UUA at the age of eighteen, majoring in the combat-oriented mecha program, a field demanding high levels of physical and mental strength. Yuka was among the best in this demanding program."

A student raised their hand to ask, "But ma’am, I heard that Yuka Taira didn’t do well in the combat program. Everyone called her a ’vase’ and that’s why she switched to history."

"Yes," Kishi chuckled, "but she was pretending to have poor grades. She didn’t want to be so tired, didn’t want to stay in the combat program, nor did she want to join the Alliance Army. However, during the Academy Tournament, one of the four major events of that year, space pirates invaded the tournament. The situation was critical, and Yuka had to reveal her true strength to rescue her classmates attacked by the space pirates. It was then that everyone realized she was the famous ’Lady’ from the underground arena, and understood that her previously perceived ’useless beauty’ was just a disguise."

The children in the classroom exclaimed, "Wow!"

"Then, the historian Kimiko, whom I mentioned earlier, along with the current dean of the Alliance Science Academy, Ando Toru, did something significant," Kishi said with a nostalgic look. "Together with Yuka, they bravely revealed a hidden piece of history from a hundred years ago in the Central Square. It’s the same history we learned last week. Do you all remember?"

The kids drew out their response, "Yeeeeeh."

Kishi smiled, "At that time, the election for the General Fleet Admiral was taking place. Although Yuka had many votes, she chose not to join the Alliance Army. Instead, she formed the Stellar Corps, specifically to kill the Queen. With the support of the Science Academy, the efforts of the Alliance Army, and the Stellar Corps, Yuka and the current General Fleet Admiral Kuba Kenji together eliminated the detestable Queen. The notorious space pirates were also defeated by their soldiers, and that’s why we now have a peaceful and stable Alliance and can study in this classroom."

"They are the heroes of the Alliance, especially Yuka and Kenji, who risked their lives to fight the Queen. Thankfully, they both returned safely."

"Of course, we must not forget those who sacrificed their lives in that war," Kishi added. "You can visit and offer flowers to them at the memorial in Central Square."

The children responded, "Okay."

"The next part of the lesson is a bit more challenging, so listen carefully," Kishi said with a smile. "After Kimiko and Toru revealed that history, the people of the Alliance strongly resisted the royal family and the former nobility, driving them out of the capital star. They gradually disappeared from history, lost their privileges, and became ordinary citizens of the Alliance."

"After the final battle, Yuka returned to the Alliance. It’s said that before the war, she signed a secret agreement with the former General Fleet Admiral and several legion commanders. The content of this agreement is still confidential, and we don’t know the details, but we are already enjoying the benefits it brought. Can you guess what they might be?" Kishi asked.

After a pause, someone timidly raised their hand, "Ma’am, is it the division and centralized management of the various large regions?"

"Yes, it is," Kishi replied. "The original administration system of the Alliance was very loose. Each small planet had its own royal and Alliance Army appointed administrators, but they acted independently, and the management was weak. Coupled with the harassment of space pirates, the smaller planets far from the capital star were often in chaos and poverty. But after the Alliance Army’s internal reform and the division of the Alliance into four large regions for centralized management, these problems were resolved."

"Those manage these regions are the elected officials and the legion commanders of the Alliance Army. There are twelve central officials and twelve legion commanders. Each large region is managed cooperatively by four officials and legion commanders, with support from the Science Academy."

"There are many local officials; each small planet has a supervisor, and there’s also an Alliance Army troop stationed. The supervisor has half of the military power of the Alliance Army and works together with the army commander," Kishi explained. "If the supervisor and the Alliance Army don’t perform well, everyone can complain to the central officials and have them replaced."

"Now, even the smallest planets on the edge of the Alliance star system are developing well. Speaking of which, one of the current central officials is Yuka’s friend, Alex O’cassy, who was originally a royal prince but has long left the royalty. And among the total legion commanders, there’s also a friend of Yuka, a renowned archer named Ayoi Beatrix."

"Besides, among the officials and legion commanders, many were once soldiers of the Stellar Corps. They all see Yuka as someone they would follow for life, but since Yuka has retired, they can only channel their passion into serving the people of the Alliance."

Kishi asked the children to continue reading. She went on, "Here we also need to learn about two people. The first is the genius Dean Nori, who was once framed by Humphrey, the criminal and instigator of the war in the Alliance. But later, his innocence was proven. Not only did he develop the Oniyon, but he also improved it, making a significant contribution to the victory of the war. Moreover, he further refined the Oniyon, allowing everyone, regardless of their mental or physical strength, to pilot mechas. This eliminated the discrimination based on levels of mental and physical strength."

"He also has a deep knowledge in pharmaceuticals, participating in the development of many drugs. But all of Dean Nori’s research wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the wealthiest man, Mr. Hideki Taira, Yuka’s father. It’s said that Dean Nori was even invited by him to be Yuka’s home tutor for a while."
