Chapter 178: Chapter 88: Ding Chuan Core Student Chapter 178: Chapter 88: Ding Chuan Core Student “Are core students really that important?”

You seriously need to agree first!

Everyone present couldn’t help but want to curse out loud; Thunderhawk had already shown up, and you’re still so calm—I really doubt the authenticity of your information!

A commoner with this kind of composure?

That’s simply unbeatable.

Ruan Xiongfei’s face showed some astonishment, this kid really didn’t follow the usual tactics.

But the meaning of being a core student—heck, I couldn’t even recite it all myself.

So, Bald Ruan turned around and pointed arbitrarily at one of the Dingchuan Academy staff behind him, “Hey you, come and explain it.”

Almost everyone nearly passed out, boss, you’re representing our academy here, what on earth did the dean tell you when you came out?

...

“Cough, a core student, it means from this session, Dingchuan Academy recruits 100 students from across the Federation, among whom the best will receive the treatment of a core student.

Theoretically, each academy has only one such student, surpassing the presence of elite students.

Core student treatment allows for immediate access to A-grade official teaching rights upon enrollment, free entry to restricted areas, and being the key focus of the academy—effectively a guarantee of advancement.

They’re also the only one among the final ten graduates to have a choice,” the young teaching assistant finished, looking back at his boss.

“Right, exactly what I wanted to say, how about that?”

Ruan Xiongfei’s deep gaze returned.

Completely ignoring the curses from behind him.

How shameless…

“Does this spot require fighting a match?”

Mu Fan’s response made everyone around him so anxious that they started pulling their hair out—just agree already!

“Yes, when we get back, there will probably be people who object.

So, to prove that my prediction as Old Ruan isn’t wrong, you’ll need to fight a few bouts, and you can’t lose.

If you lose, all those conditions are gone!”

The person in charge of Dawn Academy’s eyes lit up, you guys want to recruit but can’t even speak definitively.

“Mu Fan, come to Dawn Academy, you’ll receive 100% elite student treatment!”

He tried to set the final tone.

At that moment, everyone’s eyes focused on the young man whose lips puckered, ready to speak.

He smiled.

Mu Fan put on a smile, addressing Ruan Xiongfei, “Then I’ll fight when I get back!”

Bald Ruan first grinned, then burst out laughing.

He even stood up directly, turned to someone behind him, and said, “Hey you, come take a seat—I’m going out to make a Sky Communication call!”

After saying that, he left the high seat and walked over to Mu Fan, patting his shoulder heavily.

He whispered, “Kid, you’ve got good taste!

Heh, come sit with our academy.”

Then he laughed heartily as he walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Everyone watched, dumbfounded by the spectacle—was your academy not planning to recruit anyone else?

The observer whom Ruan Xiongfei had just appointed was tensely enduring glares from all around, almost cursing Ruan Xiongfei to death.

Just bailing you out dragged me into this mess.

You came up and spaced out just to recruit this one student—where do we get the rest of the permissions?

This is like being put on the spit to roast.

Nevermind, as soon as anyone comes up, I’ll send out the invite.

The observer finally made up his mind.

Damn it, don’t think of dumping this on me.

Dingchuan Academy just dazzled all the students present.

Even Zhang Yuanren, who was initially filled with resentment, was shocked speechless by this sudden change of events.

Dawn Academy’s offer for an elite student slot…just to turn it down?

This unexpectedly assertive Dingchuan Academy overshadowed Dawn Academy.

This elite student slot that should have belonged to me should come back, but now…

Zhang Yuanren suddenly lost that sense of anticipation—it turns out the thing he desperately sought was as trivial as dust in the eyes of some commoner kid.

Being the last to be chosen, when everyone else’s discarded options finally fall to you, is a terrible sensation.

Creak!

Creak!

Zhang Yuanren’s fists clenched with a creaking sound, his mood was utterly ruined, worse than when the person in charge of Dawn Academy suddenly proposed elite treatment!

An outstanding contestant had forsaken the olive branches extended by both major academies on Capital Star to choose Ding Chuan Academy, which ranked at the bottom in the Federation College—such an idiosyncratic choice shocked everyone.

Alright, you mention Thunderhawk, something no one anticipated.

The third-place winner in the survival competition chose Ding Chuan Academy!

Some arrivals are destined to catch the world’s attention.

From slaughtering in a Shura Mecha to astounding everyone during the tests.

At seventeen, Mu Fan, with an unstoppable will, began to tell the world of his greatness.

The teenager’s stride off the stage was firm, his eyes held a thrill different from the anxiety he had before going up.

It was an excitement that could not be contained!

The youth still tried to restrain this emotion, his only thought was to share his joy with Black the moment the selection ended!

He wanted to tell Harry they would step into Ding Chuan together, fulfilling the promise between the young men on time!

With a smile in his eyes, Mu Fan sat down.

The staff member next to Ding Chuan Academy gazed at the youth’s profile and sighed deeply.

If Ruan Xiongfei could truly secure all these terms, the academy might break its biggest news ever this year.

A young civilian from the remotest planet, becoming a core student and the direct disciple of the chief fighting instructor, then…

becoming the heir to Thunderhawk, true or false!

The selection continued.

Tataric accepted Dawn Academy’s invitation with a grin and gave Mu Fan a wink as he took his seat.

Zhang Yuanren then took the stage, aiming for Dawn Academy, but when their spokesperson once again proposed elite treatment, the admiration in the spectators’ eyes diminished.

A young man had just declined that offer from Dawn.

And he was only third place…

As the runner-up, Zhang Yuanren felt those looks intensely, his smile fading and a cold bitterness ingrained in his eyes as he walked off into the shadows.

A candidate named Kaito entered Pulan Military Academy.

All the academies began to make their selections.

After Ruan Xiongfei left, Ding Chuan Academy surprisingly began to extend invitations every time, even to those ranked below the 40th position.

Everyone was shocked to realize after the tenth Ding Chuan candidate sat down.

Ding Chuan Academy had filled its quota first!

It was simply…

a miracle!

The leaders of the Four Great Colleges glanced at each other, eyeing the candidates in the secondary selection area, suddenly realizing that if they continued to be finicky, the leftovers would be theirs to deal with.

This brought about another climax at the venue.

Mu Fan, looking at Paje sitting beside him, found it fascinating how life’s encounters could bring them to the same academy.

Soon after, Ruan Xiongfei came back smiling broadly, giving a nod of approval to the young assistant on the stage as he saw his area fully seated.

He was very satisfied and deeply praised the young lecturer for his efficiency!

When Bald Ruan sat back down, he paid no more mind to the candidates below.

Now everyone understood; it seemed he had come just to recruit Mu Fan.

And Mu Fan, watching Ruan Xiongfei’s back, mused on terms like “Super Series Mecha” and “Thunderhawk,” noting the reactions around him that spoke of this Mecha’s fame and extraordinariness.

How would it compare to the Shura?
