I Refuse to Be Human

Baisha, after being transported to the interstellar era, plunged into a life on a fringe star notorious for its poverty throughout the galaxy. Having saved up three years of tuition by fishing, she seized the only opportunity and took part in the Federal Military Academy’s entrance examination.

That tiny Long-tailed Tit evolved on the spot into the legendary psychic form “Xuan Bird”— The Federation: Cunning Imperials, pretending to be weak! The Empire: Did we just see a mirage? A Xuan Bird?
