267: Chapter 267: Unexpected Surprise (Additional chapter for alliance leader Maple Night) (Third Release) 267: Chapter 267: Unexpected Surprise (Additional chapter for alliance leader Maple Night) (Third Release) Mia swung her beam saber, cutting the creatureâs battered body into pieces in just a few slashes.
Eventually, the life vitality of the Deformed Brain Beast dropped to fifty percent, and it lost its ability to move.
At this point, Mia, operating the Green Wing Mecha, put away her beam saber and removed a mechanical light gun from her waist.
She adjusted the gun muzzle and pulled the trigger toward the corpse of Chilami.
Zzz~
The scattering beam, like a scan, covered the entire body of the type III elite Chilami·Deformed Brain Beast.
Its black cellular body dissolved like bubbles, eventually turning into a dry mass of matter, completely devoid of vitality.
At this time, a steady voice rang out in the public communication channel of Mia and the others; it was Captain Wang Sheng.
âMiss Mia, please report your situation there.
Were you attacked?â
âWe were attacked by a type III Chilami but thereâs nothing to worry about; itâs been dealt with.â
Mia replied calmly.
âGood, stay safe and keep the communication clear.â
Wang Sheng gave his instructions and then ended the communication.
âTeacher, youâre really amazing.
A type III elite Chilami was chopped down by you in just a few hits.â
Angel and the others spoke with admiration.
âEnough with the flattery.
Without your support in battle, it wouldnât have been so easy to kill.
Anyway, it would have been a lot tougher, given this mechaâs poor performance.â
Mia shook her head as she spoke.
âEh?
The Green Wing Mecha is poor?
Teacher, we seriously suspect youâre bragging.â
Rhein said with a laugh.
âPfft, you donât know jack; I canât be bothered to explain.
Letâs move on!â
âAlright!â
âAnd remember one thing, when we run into a monster later, just support from a distance like we just did.
Donât foolishly charge in; otherwise, Iâll have to be distracted by saving your butts.â
Mia led them forward while providing guidance.
After all, actual combat is the best classroom and the most effective way to improve the studentsâ skills.
âUnderstood!â
Su Ming and the others replied earnestly.
As they delved deeper, entering the inner areas of the city and arriving at a broad street,
the sight that met their eyes stupefied Su Ming and the others.
They saw various mechas, including Iron Heads and Iron Knights, scattered about the street.
Transparent shop windows on both sides of the street displayed different styles of First Generation Mechas, and one could even spot Second Generation Iron Guard Mechas.
âSo many mechas!â
Zhang Yi exclaimed in surprise.
âThis looks like a commercial street specializing in the sale of mechas and military weapons.â
Su Ming mused and then said.
âCould there be advanced mechas here?â
Rhein asked excitedly.
âHard to say; normally, advanced mechas are custom-made, and itâs rare to find them in stock.â
Su Ming continued chatting with Rhein while controlling his mecha to go forward and inspect the fallen mechas to see if there were any survivors.
But when he approached a fallen Iron Head Mecha, he noticed a hole in its back.
Su Ming frowned slightly and moved to the other fallen mechas.
He found that each of the mechas had a hole in the back, as if they had been pierced through.
âHow is it, did you find anything?â
Mia asked Su Ming with a grave expression.
âAll these mechas have a puncture in the back; the situation doesnât look good.â
Su Ming replied rationally.
At that moment, Angelâs excited shout suddenly rang out on the communication channel.
âWow, look at that exhibition hall in the building over there!â
Su Ming and the others instinctively turned their heads, looking in the direction Angel was pointing.
They saw a large building not far away, with a massive exhibition hall on the first floor, its walls made of special glass.
In the exhibition hall stood a Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight.
âGun Knight?
No way, am I seeing things?â
Alluâs voice betrayed her astonishment.
âHaha, we are in for a fortune.â
Zhang Yi exclaimed with ecstasy.
âDonât get too excited, itâs not necessarily the real deal, it might just be a model.â
Su Ming reminded him coolly.
âThat seems likely, what company owns this building?â
Zhang Yi, doused by Su Mingâs words like a bucket of cold water, immediately regained his composure.
âIt belongs to the Heavy Strike Club.â
Allu looked up and carefully read the plaque hanging on the exterior wall of the building before speaking.
Upon hearing Alluâs words, Su Ming was also slightly surprised, not having expected to find this club here.
Then Mia, her eyes gleaming subtly, spoke.
âLetâs go, check if itâs the real thing or just a model!
The Heavy Strike Club is quite famous in the Federation, we might just hit the jackpot.â
âAlright!â
Su Ming nodded without hesitation, as he was more hopeful than anyone that the Gun Knight was real.
Although the Iron Guard Mecha he was currently piloting performed decently well, it was no match for the III-type Chilami, and during the recent battle, Su Ming didnât dare to get close enough to engage in combat.
Mia led them towards the building.
Soon they reached the entrance of the building, where many Iron Head and Iron Knight Mechas lay overturned, and several bodies floating midair, all clad in the Heavy Strike Clubâs uniform.
Mia led them straight inside, up to the Gun Knight.
âI have a feeling itâs just a model.
If it were real, they wouldâve probably used it by now!
But then again, this model is a beauty, an exact replica of the real thing,â
Rhein mused, stroking his chin as he looked at the mecha before him.
âI think so too.â
Zhang Yi and the others werenât very optimistic.
However, just then, Mia spoke up.
âThis is a real Mecha.â
âWhat?
Teacher, are you sure youâre not mistaken?â
Rhein and the others looked at Mia, disbelieving.
âDammit!
Whether itâs real or fake, you think Iâd make a mistake?â
Mia, irritated by their doubt, cursed.
Su Ming, hearing Miaâs statement, showed a look of joy, hardly believing it was actually a real Mecha.
âNo way, whatâs the story behind this Heavy Strike Club, for them to have a real Third Generation Mecha just lying around?â
Zhang Yi asked, shocked.
âNot sure, all I know is that this club is quite famous in Starlight City too, apparently theyâve got businesses in many places,â
Rhein contemplated for a moment before shaking his head and replying.
âDonât ask about things you shouldnât.
This club ainât no trivial matter, frankly, itâs their way of attracting and nurturing freelance aces.â
Mia warned them irritably.
âI see.â
Su Ming, pondering upon her words, replied thoughtfully.
âOh come on, why bother about all that?
The main point is, this is a real Mecha, weâve struck gold!â
Zhang Yi couldnât stop smiling.
Mia sighed and then said,
âDonât just celebrate, scatter and look around, see if you can find the key!â
âOkay!â
Su Ming and the others responded at once.
A moment later, Su Ming and the others regrouped.
They had searched all the dead bodies and had not found the key to the Gun Knight.
Moreover, the club was not small, and conducting a thorough search would take a significant amount of time, time they simply didnât have.
âTeacher, what do we do if we canât find the key?â
Su Ming, not willing to give up, asked as he looked at the Gun Knight in front of him.
