I, Metis, aged 16, have been in this planet orphanage for more than four years. or 3 years? hmmm....
"Metis, you have to clean the whole field tomorrow!"
"Alright! I'll take care of it!"
I am thankful for this place, and my life was not so miserable living on the streets. I didn't bring anything to this place except for the stone we found on the farm; it was my amulet.
The orphanage was a big help; I was able to study well and got the course I wanted for free because they looked at the trials, and I passed, so I can study now. I found out that in each solar system, there are two or one habitable planet because there is an area of the golden zone, and in a galaxy, there is a range of 3500–4000, as there are many solar systems and galaxies. But there are so many people that, now, in the galaxy, about 100 people have been conquered. Still, the number of galaxies in the universe is uncountable and not really known. To make people faster, they used clones in 2300, which was approved for humanity, and knowledge was a success.
My bottom line is that I am very far away. One galaxy will take 9 hours. My home planet is definitely far away, so I won't be leaving this place until I finish.
"If you want to be a good scientist, you have to be better than you need to be!"
'Whatever sir is saying.' While the instructor was writing the math problems,
I immediately knew the answer. Not because I'm smart; the questions came from my memory that I studied math shapes! which used to be called geometry and math-calculation, algorithm calculation, which will be called algebra, calculus. I used to be changed by the ideas coming out of my brain, but now I don't. It's true that I have a past life.
A biology, chemistry, physics, and more about science course was taken. but he only thought that this course was like a high school subject to him. Past life academics is so hard that you will finish in 15–18 years of college.
I excelled in everything, and that's why I got a scholarship until my graduation! The system is very different today than in the 21st century.

METIS POV
And now, at the age of 19, I had my own house and land.
There is a policy that if I graduate, I will get an asset, and as a valedictorian and the fastest to end academics, it makes me feel superior, but I know everything about science now! advantage of being reincarnated, probably, or am I just a genius? Not really me! hehehe
Everyone cried at the orphanage when I left. What? I'm one of the orphanage's employees. I was given a child when I took care of it at the orphanage.
I don't know why it was given to me, but she said that the children I took care of were good. But that's not it. So if there are new and old members, I'm happy with them.
'I feel like a maid, but I enjoy it rather than a lonely and solo life. Even if you have money, you can't buy a true relationship.'
Today is a special day because it is the day of my graduation, and not even one person from the orphanage or anyone else attended. I said something in front, but I feel nothing.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, professional scientist!"
"Metis, congrats! Scientist boy!"
This is what I've heard so far, and I'm on stage. But I don't feel any joy, even though I have a certificate.
'What are they going to say, mom and dad? Maybe mom is crying, and dad is laughing and carrying his possible favorite shovel! '
"Sorry, I'm going home now."
From the stage, I immediately packed my things in my room and left without announcing.
I rented a small car. I'm on my way home now, and I hear a lot of news about the planet I came from from other students who are children of nobles, and they have more news than the people who were saved from the planet in my hometown and my fellow survivor.
"Pedro at your service! Boss."
I saw him rent because he was cheap, and there was no route to follow because he didn't have a license.
'It's been almost 3 weeks, but we're only halfway there.'
It means that the pirates only showed speed when they stole the car we used.
"What's wrong with them?"
From my heart, I am sad or unable to laugh. This is the reason why I was alone at the school I attended. I have some weirdos with me, but I don't know them. Maybe I call them oi or hoy; they copy my answer so they get together, but I don't regret it even though I don't have friends because real friends are not chosen; they are just a filter.
"Boss! Here we go! Kepler 258!"
The one with loud, big teeth on the two fronts is the one I talked to rent to be with me, not because I like him, but because he is the cheapest that can be taken as a guide.
"Where?"
"That's it, boss!" The lips are used to point to the planet as the hand is on the steering wheel.
broken, my heart and my knees weak, and I could feel nothing.
I saw the planet! This farmer used to have a lot of crops; he is not the same as before; now there are more rotten animals and dying trees on the planet.
"Boss! Don't go down; that planet no longer has an atmosphere! You won't be able to breathe, and your body will shrink to ice within five minutes."
'Why? What happened? Where are they? She said I'll see them.'
My knees got weak, and with the spacecraft, I was even pushed to another part of the place.
"It's not true!"
No matter how much I wipe my eyes with tears, I can't really see them anymore.
Cycled... one, two days...
I'm looking for a trace of our house; now it's just a rubble like a ruin, but I can't even see the land we planted, but there is a very large crater in the middle of the planet. It's not a volcano to have a natural shape.
'It wasn't there just before I left, and I heard that there was something like this everywhere on the planet! '
"Boss, I heard that there is a large-scale use of magic here on this planet; even the space empire did not resist this superweapon; this hole is the proof."
"Pieces of...ta."
'You will pay for this! ' When I closed my hand so much, the nail dug into my palm little by little. I was disgusted with myself; I should have been left behind.
"!!!!, Boss!, Boss, I've been hearing rumors that it was attacked by a space pirate!"
"Do you know why we came here?"
"Because you said you're from here? boss" cautiously answers to Metis.
"Yes, why did I go to Axel?"
"So? All the news is true?"
metis Nod*
"So the news is true; this place was attacked by another empire, but it was not at the corner of our empire."
"Another empire? Is there another empire?"
"There is a boss and three space empires; the information I found out about the guild is the space empire of Baldoza, which is famous for their use of swords and armor; then the space empire of Astra for magic and the magnetic field; they also said that they can revive a planet; but that empire and this empire of ours is just a legend if you don't know we specialize in technology."
"Ohhhh-"
"Wait, why don't you know, boss? Aren't you a scientist?"
"Because I don't go out, and I didn't read what you're talking about in the book; it's not on YouTube."
"Ohhhh! Hahaha, if that's the case, boss, I don't know either; now I've proven that information has benefits in travel."
This guide is friendly.
compared to the students who are in my class; besides, the information on the guild is already used; can I be the same? But don't be stuck in a contract if it's not finished.
Since we've circled the world four times, it's taken us ten days. I've seen the same thing.
"Boss! Let's go back."
"Alright, I'll just drop it on the ground."
I dropped the clothes I'd been wearing for almost four years and the clothes I used when I left this planet, and the last time I saw my parents, they were spinning around before falling to the ground in a large crater.
This is the most painful news.
'Why, what really happened? '
My heart hurt. I tried to stop crying, but I couldn't.
'What really happened when I left? Why was I alone and left by my parents? '
Maybe the pirates are coming to the planet. What I hear about space pirates is groupo.
"Space pirates... they must be killed."
People, if something bad happens, someone should be blamed, whether it's people, time, things, or whatever. If there's a reason, they should be blamed, and I'm only human; I'll take it back!
Revenge is always human-seek!

metis pov [SS+]
After things happen to Pedro, I got debt. Pedro also calls me crazy or bossy like usual, but he has become a real friend to me.
But using poison is my specialty when playing RPGs or MMOs.
which is to throw poison and use kiting tactics. But that amount of poison pedro provides no need to throw, which is such an advantage. Just plant everything and detonate, usually my favorite tactic on a FPS, during my past life.
But recently, I just got to know Pedro, who was a survivor of a pirate attack on their clan, struggled to get revenge and get resources, which made him the owner of the biggest company in Axel, and went out just to party or something. but he does not really expect that I can do it... but with him as well, make him really proud to be the partner of the pirate killer.
"What the hell is that?" I said to him with a sour face, but I was shocked that he was proud of it.

Rumors on Nearby Planets
In a few weeks, the other member of the pirates has been killed, and it has become the international galaxy gossip that they are being hunted by the royal family of the astra, and there's two killer pirates, no!
"more like a pirate hunter!"
"Someone said that two pirate killers are handsome!"
"He is not a killer; he is the hunter of the bastard!"
"You know there was a leak of that one pirate hunter, you say! He was called... ahhh...hmmmm... ah... something like etits!"
"Etits? What is that?"
"hahhaa"
"hahha"
as the listeners to the gossip hear the name. It makes them happy. So "etits" was begun to popularize by that gossip, Karen, and Marites people.
In the next generation, it became the common name.
