Under the urging of the matriarch, the couple's wedding application was approved on the fifth day. Crystal Landon was not yet of legal age to marry, so she had to alter her age by two years before getting married.
On the night of the wedding, Richard Shaw returned to the Southwest Military Zone, and he would be gone for over a year.
During the second college entrance examination, both Crystal Landon and Nova Howard got into Imperial City University. Nova chose the journalism department, while Crystal surprisingly chose the botany major.
The botany major requires field research, which is rarely chosen by girls due to the risks, the hardship involved, and the less optimistic job prospects.
With Crystal's high exam scores, she could practically pick any major she wanted. After choosing botany, nobody could understand why, except for the matriarch and Hawk Howard, who said nothing.
