Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 87: Destined to Attract World Attention Chapter 177: Chapter 87: Destined to Attract World Attention (Congratulations to the new helmsman “Floating with the Shadows”!)

The observers from Dingchuan Academy at the moment wished they could bury their faces in the ground, but unfortunately, the ground was too hard.

Now, all eyes gathered on them, making their faces burn with embarrassment.

Boss, you really know how to draw hatred.

As soon as you spoke, you successfully grabbed everyone’s attention!

What do you mean by “let” them?

Damn it, can our Dingchuan Academy’s ten slots add up to the conditions they’re offering?

The person in charge from Dawn Academy had their mouth open wide like a hippo.

...

Scoundrel Ruan, could you be any more shameless?

I was prepared to go back and face the scolding from my superiors, and now you throw this condition at me!

While the standoff between the two remained unresolved, Bonar College saw Ruan Xiongfei drawing hatred and decided to throw in a light assist.

“Bonar College offers tuition-free schooling, annual scholarship of 500,000 Star Coins, four exchange opportunities each year with Hinchlo Business Alliance and Gardot Imperial College, elite student benefits, a graduation recommendation from the dean himself, and B-level House of Commons walking privileges upon admission!”

That assist was vicious, completely ready to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Elite student benefits, graduation recommendation from the dean, and then that most crucial condition!

B-level House of Commons walking privileges!

This was simply being cultivated as an administrative elite for the future Federation.

Just think about it, a Federation officer with the House of Commons as their backdrop…

the prospects are limitless.

The person from Dawn Academy looked at the professor from Bonar College, hating them so much their teeth itched.

“What do you say, Mu Fan, are you interested in starting your meteoric rise at our Bonar College?”

All eyes once again focused on Mu Fan.

At that moment, Mu Fan bowed in thanks to the two representatives from the Capital Star and then spoke softly, “I’d like to hear the conditions from Dingchuan Academy.”

Across from him, Ruan Xiongfei, with an impudent and lazy expression on his face, finally broke into a grin, like a giant sunflower suddenly bursting into bloom.

The representative from Pulan Military Academy, standing about four or five meters away, turned their head away in disgust.

“Haha, I like your style, kid.”

Then, proudly turning back to the upper-class citizens from the Capital Star, he gave them a sly wink before turning around once more and clearing his throat,

“Let me introduce myself.”

Mu Fan didn’t feel much on hearing this line, but the staff in the blue area representing Dingchuan Academy all tensed up at the same time.

Boss…

I’m getting goosebumps all over from how formal you sound, and why do I suddenly feel like there’s a storm brewing?

“I am Ruan Xiongfei, 37 years old, former commander of the Federation’s 114th Ace Infantry, uh, it seems like my last reported data from five years ago was a level 25 physique, Spirit Lock level two…”

The audience below: …

The people from Dingchuan Academy: …

So, what level are you now?

When Ruan Xiongfei’s credentials were casually stated, both the young staff and all the candidates were stunned.

“Oh, right, I also brought my mecha this time.”

No sooner had these words left his mouth than Supervisor He from Taoyun Academy suddenly crushed the pen he was holding.

What do you mean you also brought your mecha!!

Others might not know, but he was perfectly clear about the model of Ruan Xiongfei’s mecha!

Without waiting for him to contemplate further, Ruan Xiongfei mentioned it as casually as if he was talking about drinking boiled water.

“Super Series Mecha, equipped with the Federation’s ninth-generation Quantum Vacuum Energy Absorption Engine.

The weapons are pretty powerful too~”

That last sentence made everyone sitting below subconsciously nod their heads.

“””

Bullshit, an S-class mecha, and you’re gonna tell me its weapons aren’t strong?

I sure as hell won’t believe that.

“The mecha’s full name is too complicated, something like ‘Storm God Thunder Eagle,’ but it also has another nickname, given by others—the Thunderhawk.”

When these words were spoken, some people from the other academies finally realized what was wrong.

Damn, the Thunderhawk!

Now, probably anyone with a little knowledge of the Federation’s mechas knows!

A figure that only made a few brief appearances in the history of the Federation but left behind a dazzling legacy, known as the Federation’s strongest fighting machine with full adaptability from the Super Series—the Thunderhawk!

The prototype from the Giamilo Laboratory!

That mysterious mechanical master, with this Super Series mecha body, fought against one of the Gardot Empire’s Twelve Demon God Machines, the Night Demon Bird, without falling behind!

From the scant reports, people knew not to be deceived by the names like storm and divine thunder in the mecha’s name; this mecha was famous for its brutal close combat fighting.

Because of its attack speed like lightning, all of its moves relied on the unique enhancements of its own mecha body, and even more on that notorious body linkage system—the CICH system.

The system would forcefully perform intelligent correction during critical combat moments, and it was said that several big mechanical masters died because of the sudden forceful power boost during testing.

But there was a mechanical master who piloted the Thunderhawk, who six years ago at the Federation’s border, inflicted heavy damage on the Gardot Empire’s mecha ace troops, securing peace for half of the Nebula until today!

Now this mechanical master was appearing right in front of everyone.

While everyone else was in awe, all the people from Dingchuan Academy region numbly watched the big bald head chatting away on the seat.

Boss, keep blowing smoke, no problem, we don’t believe it anyway.

Our principal can’t blow like you can, if our academy had this mecha, we would have been strutting around, why would we be stuck at the bottom of the exchange battles?

When have you ever piloted a mecha in the years you’ve been with the academy, you’re just hoodwinking everyone else.

But the next thing Ruan Xiongfei said truly took them to cloud nine, and they felt like their brains were short on blood.

“You come to Dingchuan Academy, become my direct disciple, and the Thunderhawk—will be yours to pilot in the future.”

Shit!

Now even the person in charge of Dawn Academy stood up—if Ruan Xiongfei wasn’t joking, then this SS-rated super mecha of the Federation was about to select its next heir!

This has to be reported to the Federation’s National Security Council!

How could you, Ruan Xiongfei, possibly have such direct connections to high places?

How could you possibly have the authority to inherit this mysterious mecha!

But Ruan Xiongfei offered no explanation; instead, he just smiled and stared at the young man before him, “How about it, kid?

Come to Dingchuan Academy.

As for all those other conditions, they’re not even worth mentioning, just the usual core student treatment, full tuition waiver, a scholarship of two hundred thousand Star Coins every year, and so on.”

People from Dingchuan Academy had their faces frozen…

Boss, core student treatment, are you sure you didn’t misspeak, and it’s supposed to be elite student treatment?

Excluding Flash, who had practical offers, the only one who explicitly mentioned “core student” was Ruan Xiongfei alone!

There’s only one of these spots in an academy, and it seems like only the principal supports you; can you actually get this past those four vice-principals???

The massive expanse of the Galaxy Federation, spanning across sixty-two light-years in the Four Major Administrative Districts, how will you explain this sole core student spot to the senior leadership of the academy when you go back, if they don’t approve!!!?

“Right, that core student spot is a bit tricky, there might be some trouble when you report, but as long as you can fight your way back, there’ll be no issues.

So, are you coming or not?”

Having laid out all the conditions, Ruan Xiongfei spread his arms wide, and that big bald head now illuminated the entire hall.

In that moment, all eyes were on the shining bald head and the black-haired young man lifting his head in the middle of the room.
