StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 452 Ghost Military Academy
"Your old friend in Tarsonis?"

Sarah Kerrigan came out from behind Augustus, her hands on her slender waist.

"I don't know her." Augustus' voice was so low that only Kerrigan could hear.

"Then this is just a frivolous woman who flirts openly. She is not ashamed of being dissolute but proud of it." Kerrigan and Augustus's faces were almost pressed together, and the earrings carved with Catherine's heart crystal seemed to be Shaking with the cold wind blowing from her mouth.

"Well." Augustus thought that what the lady said was not unreasonable.

"This is my sister, Clara Annabella Terra." Zebedia reluctantly introduced to Augustus: "That is Novanbe Annabella Terra, we all call her Nova."

"I remember her." Augustus said of Nova.

"Don't let me get out of the way!" Clara tried hard to squeeze out from the soldiers of the tall guard in power armor: "I'm from the Terra family!"

Thinking about it, no one dared to stop Clara when she went to various clubs, banquets, dance halls, opera houses and other occasions. Considering Constantine Terra's influence in the political and business circles of Tarsonis, the federal military would also sell her He is thin.

But Augustus's guards didn't care about Clara's identity. They were all five-year veterans who crossed the line of fire to meet the Protoss and the Zerg, and they only obeyed the orders of the guard captain Faraday and the revolutionary marshal himself.

"Let her come over, Mr. Constantine is my old friend." Augustus didn't want to make too much trouble: "There is no reason to keep a friend's daughter out."

"Hmph, I'm sorry, Miss Clara Annabella Terra, but you can't come here yet." Kerrigan raised her chin and said.

The two guard soldiers were puzzled for a while, but after thinking about it, they decided to obey Augustus' order.

"Let me see you, young Marshal Augustus Mengsk, you are becoming more and more heroic." Clara happily lifted her skirt and walked towards Augustus.

Clara was indeed an iconic beauty, as graceful as any figure in a court painting.This is indeed an exquisite template sculpted by laser minimally invasive plastic surgery. Even the most picky people cannot pick out any faults from this angelic face.

"It's such a blessing to see you again." Clara covered her mouth gently with her hands in white lace gloves, and reached out tremblingly to Augustus's hard cheek.

Kerrigan's eyes froze, and he flicked the red ponytail with one hand like a knife to separate Clara's outstretched hands, and then with some kind of prophetic ability, when Clara wanted to fall into Augustus' arms Push her off.

Kerrigan had always been a perfect score in telepathy at the Academy of Ghosts, but her instructors never dreamed that this perfect student would use such extraordinary abilities for such things.

"Is that so?" At first Clara just wanted to pretend to approach Augustus casually, but after repeated resistance from Kerrigan, she played a game of eagle and chicken with him.

"I am Sarah Kerrigan, Adjutant to Marshal Augustus." Kerrigan was immobile.

"Kerrigan? I've heard of this surname. A noble from Keha?" Clara stopped panting, and patted her dress pretending to be calm.

"I'm just a commoner of Takothian," Kerrigan said flatly.

"Oh—" At this moment, Clara thought she had seized a chance to break through Kerrigan. She swung Kerrigan to the left and pounced on Augustus like a tiger.

"What do you want?" Kerrigan easily grabbed Clara from behind, her strong hands slashing under the Terran patriarch's arms, pulling her toward her so that her back was in line with her chest. stick together tightly.

"Let me go!" Clara struggled for a while, realizing that she was no match for Kerrigan at all.At first glance, it looks like Kerrigan is hugging Clara from behind.

"Not yet, I am also the bodyguard of Marshal Augustus, and I must never allow a woman of unknown origin to approach him." Kerrigan effortlessly clamped Clara tightly, but the latter turned red from exhaustion .

"I'm not a person of unknown origin." Clara coughed and panted continuously due to too violent movements.

"But you're a woman." While speaking, Kerrigan moved his left hand down to strangle Clara's slender waist, and pinched Clara's chin with his right hand to make her turn her head to look at her.

For some reason, Clara's face suddenly turned redder.

Sarah Kerrigan is undoubtedly a heroic woman. She is wearing a straight military uniform, and her red hair is neatly tied back in a ponytail.By the end, Kerrigan had almost one-handed Clara in her arms.

"Let go of me!" Clara looked more and more out of breath.

"Where do you want to go, girl?" Kerrigan dragged Clara into a corner.

"It's so embarrassing." Zebedia lamented covering his face.

"Let the ladies get along with themselves." Augustus patted Zebedia on the shoulder, thinking what was the matter.

Zebedia's hover car is parked on the road between the New Babylon City Hall and the park, and several servants in black are guarding it.Clusas III can't help guns, so they can still hold pistols.

Before sending Zebedia to the car, Nova Terra, who was leaning against a nearby tree, came over and bowed to Augustus: "Good day, Mr. Augustus Mengsk."

This is a very polite little girl, well-dressed and neat, and she can't fault her manners.

"You are Nova." When Augustus walked towards Nova with a smile on her face, she took a step back gracefully.

"Nova is a bit shy, and she's not allowed to speak to people other than the family servants," Zebedia told Augustus.

"I still remember seeing you at Andrea Tagore's birthday party a few years ago, when you were a child." Augustus stopped in front of Nova: "Now you have grown up For a qualified lady."

"Your memory is really good." Nova also smiled: "I don't remember much about that time."

What happened at that time really made it difficult for Nova to talk about it, and she didn't want to recall it.

After speaking, Nova lowered her head and retreated behind her brother Zebedia.Nova was wearing a black pleated skirt at this time, and her hair was tied with the same black ribbon.

"Haha." Augustus smiled, and the smile quickly converged.

"Marshal, Nova saw with my own eyes that hybrid monster swallowed our father." Zebedia sighed and said to Augustus, "It brought us terrible memories and unforgettable memories. Pain, especially Nova."

"I only know now that she almost lost control of her spiritual energy at that time, and was on the verge of losing control."

"This is not something such a young child can face alone." Augustus can imagine the scene at that time, imagine the scene where Angus Mengsk's head fell in front of him, and he can somewhat understand Nova's current situation. taciturn.

In contrast, her older sister Clara seemed unaffected by her father's tragic death, and Augustus didn't know whether to say that she was extremely strong or heartless.

"Nova is a psyker?" Augustus asked knowingly after glancing at Nova who lowered her head and said nothing.

"Yes, she is a psyker." Zebedia has already understood Augustus's attitude towards psykers, and believes that he will not abduct his sister and erase her memory like the federal government , and trained her to be a cold-blooded killer.

"The Tyra family has been hiding this matter from the outside world, and we all think it is to protect Nova."

"Have you tested her psionic level?" Augustus said, looking at Zebedia.

"No," Zebedia said. "My parents didn't want to mention anything about psychics in front of Nova."

"Mind if I get someone to test Nova's psychic level?" Augustus explained to Zebedia. , she is likely to hurt the people around her without knowing it."

"Yes, I also think it is quite necessary to know Nova's psychic level." If it was before witnessing that Nova almost lost control and went berserk, Zebedia would definitely reject Augustus's proposal without hesitation.

He was indeed almost crushed to death by Nova, and Nova felt very guilty about it afterwards.

If Zebedia's perception of the power of psychic power is still very vague, then it is obvious that Nova has taught him an important lesson.

"I hope to learn more about the power of psychic power." Nova also heard the words between them, and she walked in front of Augustus again.

"I don't want to hurt anyone around me anymore."

"Sacco." Augustus snapped his fingers.

A man wearing a blue-and-white ghost combat uniform jumped down from a nearby tree, and when he landed, he tossed his light-blond curly hair triumphantly. He must have thought his appearance was quite handsome.

"Miss from Tarsonis, your body hides a powerful force like a volcanic eruption." Angelini stood beside Augustus.

"About how many levels?" Augustus asked him.

"It's conservatively estimated to be level 8, and it will never be lower than this." Angelini looked at Nova and said, "We need professional testing equipment to find out."

"Strong?" Zebedia didn't know much about psychics.

"Not under me." Angelini looked serious.

"However, this child has not received any training on restraining her psychic energy and eventually mastering it." He looked at Zebedia and said, "This is a potential hidden danger, because the psychic energy in her body is compared to His spirit has become too strong."

"I used to think that the Federal Ghost Academy's training for children was not advisable, but later I learned that the children of the protoss can skillfully use their innate power at a very young age." Angelini put his hands behind his back .

"I think human psykers have to be educated the same way - not to teach 3-5 year olds to kill, but to teach them better control over their psychic powers so they don't hurt themselves and others people."

"It turns out that when you grow up with children who share your talents, they are less likely to be ostracized and discriminated against."

Sacco Angelini is a rare 10th level psionic, and Augustus found him to be quite good at teaching and imparting knowledge, he is more suitable to stay in the rear and educate a new generation of psykers than Take to the front line to fight.

"I'm also thinking about where the psykers in the Tyranid Federation should go in the future. Even though they were once regarded as unstable factors, taking young children from their parents is not a government elected by the people. I did," said Augustus.

"So, I established a ghost military academy on Antiga Prime to provide a safe campus for psykers under the revolutionary government."

"You want to train psykers to become soldiers of the Revolutionary Army?" Zebedia asked.

"The ghost military academy is divided into elementary and advanced colleges. Only children who volunteer to join the army will receive military training at the age of 16, and the rest of the children will graduate at this time and go to college." Augustus said: "I will pay for these Psykers are assigned positions to ensure their talents are not wasted."

"Places like surveillance, police stations, education and political censorship are in greatest need of people who can read minds."

"...I think I can understand." Zebedia mused. "But I would prefer to hire a governess instead of sending Nova to a school far from home."

"If all goes well, we will transform the Tarsonis Ghost Academy in the Federation into our own." Angelini scratched his head.

"It's almost as if we're going to take Tarsonis."

"But." Zebedia was still worried.

"Brother, I want to learn about spiritual power." Nova said, "I don't want to hurt you any more."

"Nova is such a good boy." Augustus bent down and brushed Nova's blond hair from her forehead: "People are always afraid of the power of psykers, and that's because of their pathetic ignorance. The important thing is always It is the one who holds the power, not the power itself, Nova, you are kinder and braver than anyone I have ever seen."

"Don't be afraid of that power, one day you will use it to benefit the world and protect the Tyrannian world."

Nova looked up into Augustus's dark gray eyes and recorded the scene before her.

"Well, if mother has no objection." Zebedia looked at Angelini: "Do you think I still have spiritual talent?"

"You" Angelini stroked his clean-shaven chin, and said to Zebedia with a little regret:
"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"...bad," Zebedia said.

"Your psionic index is about level 3, a little higher than ordinary people, but it's useless." Angelini said.

"What about the good news?" Zebedia wasn't disappointed either.

"Better than the guy who's hooking up with your sister," Angelini said.

"." Zebedia was silent.

"Honey!" Clara Terra finally returned to Augustus' side, but she was still hugged intimately by Kerrigan.

Kerrigan glanced at Nova who was talking to Augustus, and thought that although this little girl is also a powerful psyker and a nobleman, she is ten years behind Augustus, so she shouldn't what a threat.

"If you want to learn how to use psionic powers, then I can teach you.—if I have time," Kerrigan said to Nova.
