CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 118 SPECIAL ADMISSION_3

Du Xixi flipped through the document in confusion, and just as she saw the front page, she felt very surprised: "Special admissions? Direct enrollment to Blue Star University... Miao Miao meets the requirements!"

"Yes! The document just came down yesterday, and the first person I thought of was the Miao Miao you mentioned, so earlier, I carefully checked with Miao Miao, and indeed, she meets all the conditions." Lin You patted Miao Miao’s small shoulder, seeing Miao Miao smile softly hidden under her large hood, feeling that Miao Miao was truly a pitiful person.

Miao Miao is just over twenty years old, which, in the Star Era where adulthood is at seventy, undoubtedly qualifies her as a little girl who needs to be cared for at home. But her gentle and shy nature, along with her soft speech, makes her the most obedient little girl Lin You has ever seen.

However, just because of her different appearance, attending school has become a luxury for her, requiring Du Xixi to carefully come to Blue Star University to seek help, illustrating how deep the Star Era’s prejudice against people like Miao Miao is.

Thinking of the student who was sponsored decades ago, Lin You felt increasingly the heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

She has served as the director of the school affairs office for so many years, both publicly and privately, without ever doing anything that would betray a student, aiming to make this era a bit fairer, with at least a little less prejudice.

Du Xixi was also happily looking at Miao Miao, as the document stated that a small portion of the annual enrollment quota would be specifically reserved for "special groups" like Miao Miao. As long as they pass the admission exam and moral evaluation, they can directly enter Blue Star University.

The "special groups" mentioned here are not just those with different appearances, but could also be those with psychological hindrances or physical disabilities... essentially, people who are not rightfully acknowledged.

"This is really quite a significant decision." Du Xixi sighed, already able to foresee the immense sensation this document would cause throughout the All-Star once it is disseminated.

This is a direct order issued by the Ministry of Education of the Blue Star Empire, affecting only the Blue Star Empire, with the other Empires unaware. It’s considered the first instance in the All-Star.

Every new attempt requires taking immense risks, and Du Xixi does not know if Chen Yin had a hand in this, but she knows that it is a reform against the prejudices in the hearts of people by the Blue Star Empire.

Those "special groups" hidden in the shadows, fearing the mocking glances and words of others, have long yearned for sunlight. They will seize this rare opportunity, striving to turn their lives around, striving to live a life of dignity, with only this chance at stake.

But those who stand on higher ground and incessantly mock others will be unable to accept "special groups" standing on the same starting line, even receiving preference.

Lin You, as the school affairs office director, also nodded in agreement, but she seemingly saw further than Du Xixi: "In fact, I can guess some of the Education Ministry’s intentions behind this, which is nothing less than challenging the Four Great Empires."

Du Xixi was surprised and raised her eyebrows, not expecting that the matter would involve the Four Great Empires. She asked, "Why? Could it be that the Four Great Empires have publicly spoken something inappropriate?"

Du Xixi did not explicitly say what was "inappropriate," but Lin You and Miao Miao understood. This time, it was not Lin You who answered Du Xixi’s question, but Miao Miao, who had been silently listening: "Miss, according to the records of human experimentation over the past century, more than ninety percent of the experiments have occurred within the territories of the Four Great Empires."

Miao Miao has read many books, almost seventy percent of the massive collection in the Imperial Library, earning her the title of a walking library.

She continued under Du Xixi’s astonished and Lin You’s expectant gaze: "If the records in the books are correct, the Star Network District of the Four Great Empires have suppressed trending searches and comments about anti-human experimentation as many as fifty-six times. To cite an example with the Zao Mu Empire, its citizens have demonstrated five times, demanding a thorough investigation into human experimentation, but the Zao Mu Empire has repeatedly ignored them, even arresting the leaders during the demonstrations."

"The leaders, none returned home whole." Miao Miao lowered her gaze, her gentle words revealing an undeniable chill, even in the heart of summer.

"Whole homecoming..." Du Xixi shuddered suddenly. She is not foolish; with any casual association of Miao Miao’s words, she could guess the fate of those leaders—none other than having undergone human experimentation, losing their original complete bodies.

Miao Miao spoke hauntingly: "In other words..."

Du Xixi took a deep breath, her hands clenching into fists tightly: "In other words, the Four Great Empires not only do not oppose human experimentation, but instead abet and clandestinely promote its continuation!"

Lin You nodded, although her position does not carry as much weight and power as Du Xixi’s, she annually interacts with many people, thus possessing a wealth of information.

She said: "These are facts laid bare by the Four Great Empires, yet they hide them well, and neither our Blue Star Empire nor the interstellar court has concrete evidence to prove their crimes."

Thus, by allowing "special groups," including those unable to live normally after human experimentation, to fairly enter university to study, the Blue Star Empire indeed challenges the Four Great Empires.

And it is a strong challenge.
