Chapter 15: Not Found

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was extremely warm on Planet Trash, and the cold water indicated that the resident in the room had left a long while ago.
In addition, Lan Jiao spotted a white garment with characters written on it, on the table. There was only a line with simple characters written there.
“Lan Jiao, my elder brother is here to pick me up. Bye.”
“Do take the gift that I promised you.”
Gift…
Lan Jiao looked around and saw a silver necklace placed next to the garment.
She was not sure what the necklace was made of. The color was slightly subdued and a shining sapphire was embodied on the moon-shape necklace. The whole thing looked quite expensive.
Lan Jiao: “…”
She did not care about this so-called present, but about Mi Lai himself.
Mi Lai was gone? His elder brother had picked him up?
Seeing what Mi Lai had written, Lan Jiao was not at all assured but became even more worried.
He had heard about the way to leave Planet Trash just one day ago, and was able to leave the very next day?
If he was able to leave whenever he wanted to, why did he bother to stay on Planet Trash for so many months?
Also, if it had not been her giving that piece of bread to him at the beginning, he would have died weeks ago!
Hence, Lan Jiao did not believe a single word that Mi Lai had written!
Where did Mi Lai go?
Did he leave quietly because he did not want to put her in an awkward position and become her burden?
Lan Jiao panicked inwardly.
But judging from what the room was like, it seemed that Mi Lai left too suddenly to even be able to consume the water or tidy up the room.
Maybe Mi Lai was truly taken away by someone?
But was it really the so-called elder brother who took him away?
Lan Jiao got increasingly worried.
She put away the necklace and went to meet Captain Kite with the garment that Mi Lai left behind.
Lan Jiao was sure that Captain Kite would be able to give her the answer whether Mi Lai had been taken away by someone or he had hidden himself. Captain Kite would know his whereabouts if he was still on this planet.
Moreover, he was the chief of District Nine on Planet Trash 101, and would definitely have records of every spaceship that landed here.
Captain Kite considered Lan Jiao as a friend at the moment. He did not hesitate to help her look into the matter, the moment she requested him.
“A spaceship did land in the neighbourhood of District Nine last night.” Kite told Lan Jiao.
As for whether an exiled criminal was taken away, Kite told Lan Jiao a peculiar thing after checking the records.
“Mi Lai is not listed in the batch of exiled criminals!”
So, Mi Lai was not an exiled criminal?
He just appeared among the exiled criminals for some reason and now he had probably gone back to where he belonged.
Lan Jiao was shocked by what Captain Kite told her.
Lan Jiao: “???”
She suddenly felt that this little follower of hers might not actually be a normal person!How horrifying!
He was with her every single day, but now she was told that this person did not exist?
Not only Lan Jiao, but even Captain Kite was stunned.
How could such a loophole occur in the region under his charge?
How could someone enter the batch of exiled criminals in front of him and his men?!
But now the boy was gone, so there was no need to find the answer.
Also, he was due to leave this place soon, as his mission contract was coming to an end.
Captain Kite tried to console her. “Start making your own preparations. I have handed in the application for you. In one month, the entry examination for Second Military School will take place. You have the advantage of getting extra points because of Planet Trash, but if you perform badly at the examination, you might not get the admission.”
Lan Jiao: “…”
Did he mean to say that her entry into the school was not guaranteed? In other words, if she wanted to get rid of Planet Trash, she had to pass an exam?
Lan Jiao was not feeling very pleased at this moment.
She used to be a good student with high scores. If she had not been into learning cooking, she would have been selected by a prestigious university without any difficulty.
Unfortunately, she had been transported to a different world but still needed to face examinations!
But the examination course here might be different from what she had learned in the past.
Lan Jiao tried to search for some relevant information in the original host’s memory. Finally, she let out a sigh of relief.
This entry examination did not require long-term accumulation of cultural knowledge, but was about something else.
She might not face too much hardship passing the examination with these requirements.
Also, she had an extra merit available due to Planet Trash.
But she definitely needed to start making preparations in the following one month.
As for Mi Lai… Lan Jiao knew that she was not going to be able to find anything about his whereabouts at the moment.
Nevertheless, she had become sure about one thing. Mi Lai was not someone ordinary. He possessed a noble air and had knowledge of many things that commoners were not capable of knowing. All of this proved that her initial conjecture was right regarding Mi Lai.
She believed that nothing was wrong with Mi Lan now and also hoped that he was going to be fine in the meanwhile.
She had no choice but to put aside Mi Lai’s matter for the time being. Hopefully, she would find out more about him in the future, when she had made some achievements.
Maybe one day, they were going to meet again.
…
One month passed by quietly and rapidly. During this month, apart from making food for Captain Kite, Lan Jiao spent the rest of the time sorting out the original host’s memory to gain a deeper understanding of this world.
She had managed to gather some knowledge of the Second Military School of Alliance.
The school held the second position among hundreds of millions of stars in Alliance.
The First Military School was ranked at the top, and the elder brother of the original host was a student at the school’s Mech Designer Department.
The original host would have never gotten the chance to even enter the Second Military School of Alliance, considering that she was inexperienced, and had a B level physical quality and B level spirit power.
But now things were different. She was the exiled criminal of Planet Trash and met the criteria to enter the Second Military School of Alliance after all.
The requirements of the entry level examination on Planet Trash 101 were that the applicants had to be below 18 years old, and possess physical quality and spirit power above C Level.
Although she met these standards in physical quality and even exceeded it, Lan Jiao was not 100% sure that she would be able to pass the entry level examination of the Second Military School of Alliance.
According to Captain Kite, there were many positions available in millions of Planet Trash every single year. Even if most positions from Planet Trash were not filled, yet with millions of positions available, there would always be hundreds and thousands of participants who could come from Planet Trash.
But those thousands of participants selected out of millions of Planet Trash, there was probably going to be none who were able to pass the entry examination and enter the school despite the extra points given to them.
Ten years ago, the student who luckily entered Second Military School as a representative from Planet Trash 101, had a rare A-level physical quality and B-level spirit power. That was how she managed to pass the entry examination.
Compared to the student ten years ago, Lan Jiao still had some distance to cover.
