235: Chapter 235 Watching is the Same as Not Watching (First Update) 235: Chapter 235 Watching is the Same as Not Watching (First Update) At this moment, Rhein and the others also felt the teacherâs earnest effort, and they responded with complex expressions.
âYes, teacher!â
âAlright, everyone get ready to board your Mechas to familiarize yourselves with the control panel and system.
See whatâs different from the Mechas youâve piloted before, because later weâll be training for emergency disembarking and embarking while the ship is in motion!â
âAh?
Isnât the ship going to engage in superluminal flight?
How can we train under that condition?â
Rhein and the others asked, puzzled.
âAre you guys dumb?
Superluminal flight also requires cooling down.
During cooling periods, the ship will slow down, and thatâs your rare opportunity to train.â
âIs this kind of training difficult?â
Angel asked with great curiosity.
âDisembarking is simple, but embarking is hard; if you donât handle it well, crashing straight into the spaceship is perfectly normal.â
âNo way, weâre doing this highly difficult training already?â
âWhat are you scared of?
If youâve been practicing well regularly, there shouldnât be any issues.
But you donât need to worry, initially, youâll be allowed to use the intelligent assistance system for corrections, but later on, that wonât be permitted.â
âThatâs a relief.â
âCome on, board your Mechas!â
Mia shouted to Rhein and the others.
âYes!â
Su Ming and the others ran towards their respective Iron Guard Mechas.
Soon, they all boarded their Mechas, and one by one, the Iron Guardsâ eyes lit up, although everyone refrained from releasing the Mechasâ holding fixtures.
Mia told everyone.
âEach person has a different habit of using Mechas, so thereâs no absolute right or wrong in setting them up, as long as it feels comfortable to you.â
âUnderstood!â
âThese Iron Guards in your hands are yours until the end of the mission.
While adjusting, listen to my lecture.â
âYes!â
Su Ming and the others responded earnestly.
âŠ
Several hours later, Mia yawned and checked the time on her bracelet, then shouted to Su Ming and the others.
âDisembark!â
Everyone opened their cockpits and swiftly got out, assembling together once more.
âItâs now three in the afternoon, and the ship will start superluminal flight at eight tonight, ending at eight tomorrow morning.
Hurry back and get something to eat to fill your stomachs and take a good rest.
After all, youâve been up for a whole day without sleep; we will start disembarking and embarking training promptly at eight tomorrow morning.â
âOkay!â
âDismissed!â
Mia waved her hand and left straight away.
Su Ming and the others also headed towards section H together.
âŠ
After a while, Su Ming and a few others finished washing up and lay on the bed in their Exoskeleton Armor.
âIt feels really strange, doesnât it?
Not long ago, we were still at school, and now we are aboard a ship, even leaving the Old Galaxy.â
Zhang Yi said with deep emotion.
âIndeed, itâs very strange, but this kind of life might become the norm from now on.â
Su Ming looked up at the ceiling and replied.
Just then, a sweet voice came over the shipâs broadcast.
âHello everyone, I am Lieutenant An Jie.
I am informing you all that in five minutes, the ship will initiate superluminal flight mode, please make sure all personnel stay safeâŠâ
Su Ming heard the announcement, picked up his phone and glanced at it; it was 7:55, indeed the flight would start at eight oâclock precisely.
At this moment, Rhein said, excitedly,
âWhat do you think the outside view looks like during superluminal flight?â
âI donât know, havenât seen it.â
Su Ming and the others shook their heads.
âIâm going to check out the observation area and come back to tell you guys.â
Rhein couldnât contain his curiosity.
âAre you sure you want to go out there?
Be careful or the teacher might catch you and give you an earful.â
Su Ming reminded Rhein, somewhat resignedly.
âNo worries, Iâll be careful.
Wait for me!â
Rhein said, itching to find out.
Rhein climbed down from the upper bunk, opened the door, and peeked out.
Then he cautiously slipped out.
Su Ming watched the clock on his cell phone screen.
When the time jumped to eight oâclock,
all the engine nozzles on the 4th level Mother Ship âRed Teethâ spewed out dazzling halos, and a terrifying thrust swept over them.
The entire Red Teeth shook violently, and the hull made a sound of metal compression.
Soon after, the space in front of the Red Teeth rippled like water, and the whole ship plunged into the rippling space and disappeared.
Inside the dormitory, Su Ming and the others lay in their beds.
Although they felt intense discomfort, it was not as bad as during the competitions.
Before long, the sensation of discomfort quickly faded, and everything returned to normal.
Zhang Yi, a bit surprised, said,
âIt doesnât seem that bad after all.â
âIt probably has to do with the performance of the ship.â
Su Ming pondered for a while before replying.
While they were chatting, the door was pushed open again, and Rhein walked in with a resigned look on his face.
âSo?
Did you see anything?â
Zhang Yi and the others asked curiously.
âWhat the hell could I see?
When the superluminal flight kicked in, they lowered metal shutters in the observation area, couldnât see anything.â
Rhein complained with disappointment.
âAlright, letâs rest up.
We have training tomorrow morning.â
Su Ming turned off his cell phone and addressed Rhein and the others.
âOkay!â
Rhein and the others immediately responded.
âŠ
The next morning.
The previously deserted Hangar 1 suddenly became very lively.
All the students from the first-year Mechanical Armor Class gathered there, discussing the upcoming training.
âMan, I was so excited yesterday that I couldnât sleep.
Iâll be in trouble if I doze off during training.â
âDonât be so nervous, itâs just in-and-out spaceship training, thatâs all.â
âŠ
Su Ming listened to Angel and the others discussing while he looked towards the entrance, wondering if Teacher Mia had arrived.
Just at that moment, a female teacher with obvious wrinkles and somewhat white hair, a stern expression, and looking quite old approached.
Instantly, the students of Mechanical 11th Class stopped their idle chatter and stood upright, causing the students from the nearby classes to lower their voices as well.
âClass 11, mount up.
The class leader will lead you to the adjacent training area.â
The female teacher spoke in a serious tone.
âYes.â
After the students of Mechanical 11th Class responded, they immediately rushed to their respective Iron Guards.
âWhoâs that strict-looking female teacher?â
Zhang Yi asked Rhein curiously.
âSheâs the teacher of Class 11, Tang Xuan.
She has a really bad temper, extremely strict.
I heard sheâs made many students from Class 11 cry, but the quality of her teaching is quite goodâstrict teachers produce outstanding students.â
Rhein replied, clearly familiar with her reputation.
While Rhein and the others were talking, Alfam and other teachers arrived, informing their students to start up their mechas and head to the main training area.
At that moment, all gathered students began to leave in their mechas, but Su Ming and his friends had not seen a trace of Mia.
As some students who controlled mechas walked past Su Mingâs class, they were overheard saying,
âWhich class is that?
Why havenât I seen their teacher?â
âAre you kidding?
Thatâs Class 23!â
âOh, right, the unreliable teacher.â
âŠ
âClass leader, what should we do?
Teacher Mia still hasnât shown up.â
Rhein and the others asked somewhat anxiously.
âMount up.
Letâs take the mechas to the main training area.â
Su Ming sighed and directed everyone.
âOkay!â
Seeing Su Ming give the order, Rhein and the others walked toward their Iron Guard Mechas.
