The nature of the test match, of course, must be announced.
The small-scale announcement didnât attract many students to watch.
Instead, several teachers were willing to come as witnesses.
Teachers are human too, and humans have curiosity. They also wanted to gossip about which freshman was bold enough to openly challenge a school teacher.
The freshmenâs end-of-term exam uses simulation pods, but the two teachers didnât want Su Xiaocai to win. "Since you ask for special treatment, weâll also make some special requests."
They required Su Xiaocai to use a real Mecha to compete.
The other teachers laughed and scolded the two teachers for being difficult on the freshman.
Wu Qingqing overheard the teachersâ demand, her expression was strange. Were the teachers rushing to be humiliated?
Xing Miao and Feng Wansha didnât know the oddity of Su Xiaocaiâs Mecha, so they were a bit worried.
As for Su Xiaocaiâs opponent, the two teachers, being cautious, didnât invite senior students to fight her. They invited an instructor on leave.
This instructor wore a military uniform, with insignia on his shoulders representing the rank of Major.
He usually handled the safety of students patrolling in space during the second half of the semester, rich in combat experience and skillful in his actions.
The battle site was set at the schoolâs back-hill Mecha training ground.
Su Xiaocai nodded and agreed.
The instructor was standing next to the two teachers.
The instructor was 1.9 meters tall and looked at the little fellow who was two heads shorter not far away. He said to the two teachers gloomily, "Arenât you a bit shameless?"
"Not shameless, you know, rebellious ones are hard to teach. A freshman this arrogant must have something to rely on. Donât hold back, give her a good beating, cut down her arrogance."
"Arenât you afraid of discouraging her confidence?"
"Not afraid, weâll help her build confidence afterward."
"Okay, I havenât suppressed anyone fully in a while. Remember you said youâll treat me to two meals."
"Sure, sure, sure." The two teachers, also afraid the little fellow would cry, hesitated and said, "Youâd better not hit her too hard, if she cries, we canât coax her."
The instructor glared: "..." Youâve said everything.
The participants and the spectators took a car together to the training ground at the back of the mountain. Wu Qingqing whispered, "Master, are you going to use the vegetable-growing Mecha to fight?"
"Yes." If she used the latest model of the Mecha, it would be apparent itâs special. Until her life was threatened, she didnât want to expose it.
Wu Qingqing was disheartened, "I still wanted to record Masterâs heroic stance." The ugly Mecha couldnât show even one percent of Su Xiaocaiâs charisma.
Feng Wansha used her phone to find information about the instructor to strategize for Su Xiaocai. "This instructor is called Sun Muqing, he was once a student of the Military Training School, now a Major in the Capital Starâs patrol team. Be careful, heâs been on the front lines and specializes in long-range combat."
Su Xiaocai was calm and a bit sleepy.
Last night she cooperated with a lawyer to do some paperwork, then called Daddy Su and chatted for two hours. Daddy Su finally got annoyed and simply blocked her.
Upon arriving at the training ground, there were a few students fighting each other using the cheapest training Mechas.
The teachers cleared the field, letting them wait aside first.
They said to Su Xiaocai, "Ahem, are you going to use your own Mecha, or the Mecha provided by the school?"
Su Xiaocai: "And Major Sun?"
"The Major, of course, is using his own Mecha." The teacher with the bald forehead was named Mei Lan, a beautiful name, yet he himself affected it, exuding a bit of a sly vibe.
"Then Iâll also use my own Mecha!"
The Majorâs Mecha was the first to enter.
The students who were forced to stop their training went from being annoyed to delighted. The black and silver Y-199, like its model number, was reflective silver-black metal on the outside.
The Mecha had two guns hung on its back, one for long-range sniping, the other for short-range shooting.
Major Sun remembered Mei Lanâs words, "Not going to engage in aerial combat today, I wonât use the guns." It was a kind of concession.
Su Xiaocai tied up all her hair and calmly said, "Major Sun would better use what you are good at."
Major Sun, with a straight posture, looked with interest at the always-calm girl. If it werenât for Mei Lan and Wei Laiwen asking, and the fact that he was on vacation, he wouldnât have come to bully a little girl.
Since she was confident, he wouldnât hold back. He has always been a good instructor who respects his opponents.
The gun was put back on, Major Sun was already prepared.
When Su Xiaocai brought out her mediocre little Mecha.
Everyone was dumbfounded, its coating was a riot of colors, equipped with just a hoe.
A capitalized symbol of poverty.
Even the schoolâs cheapest Mecha looked way better than it by more than a little bit.
The roommateâs toes couldnât help but dig into the shoeâs front. If they dug any harder, they might dig through the sole by the end of the competition.
"This Mecha, are you sure it wonât fall apart during battle?" everyone present couldnât help but think of this possibility.
