Mecha Dynasty

In the year 2137, twenty years after the end of the Terminator War, in the capital of the newly emerged nation—the “East Asian United People’s Republic Alliance” (abbreviated as the East Alliance), at First High School, Class A.

“…After the war ended, Europe, in order to consolidate political and economic development, merged the European Union into the Europa Capitalist Federal Republic, mainly composed of Western Europe…” In history class, the teacher was enthusiastically recounting the development of various countries since the Terminator War. Mingchuan appeared quite interested, though in truth, he didn’t care much for studying. Yet, he was an unrivaled top student in the class—one of the best in his grade, perhaps even the very best. For some reason, however, his scores always hovered at the same level, almost as if they had been calculated in advance.

At that moment, the bell rang for the end of class. Mingchuan finished his notes. What irked the teacher was that, with the exception of history and geography, Mingchuan was never serious in other subjects—whether it was language, math, foreign languages, or politics. Yet with his grades, the teacher didn’t really have grounds to complain. What could he say? “Look at your hardworking classmates—at your level, you could only get into places like Harvard, Cambridge, or Newton…” “Alright, everyone, class dismissed.” The history and geography teachers were the least bothered by Mingchuan—who could be upset with a student who excelled in their classes and had such good grades? “Thank you, teacher. Goodbye.” Beca
