Chao Hao and Eugene went to the restroom during the break. By the time they returned, QL's Major Threat had already reappeared in the preparation area.
Their opponents for this match were a team called Phantom.
According to the video introduction, the opposing team had an all-female lineup with the same ranks as theirs: one S-class individual soldier and three A-classes.
As soon as they entered the arena, the mecha engineers from both sides scanned each other's mechas.
Oh! Three Super A-classes?
Everyone pay attention. The opponents have two Super A-classes, one mecha engineer, and one commander.
Wang Tianwei had just installed the scanner yesterday!
In the previous match, Jian Jingyu just went straight in and fought! Plus, the gap in strength between the two sides was obvious, so she didn't even need to use this function!
These scanners, capable of instantly scanning and assessing results during combat, were incredibly expensive and frequently out of stock!
Fortunately, they had Sir Huang! That was how they managed to get one in such a short time!
Lower-end models, like the one Teacher Eugene had, required walking in circles around the mecha to gather data.
There were also bulkier ones, but installing them on a mecha meant removing several firepower components, which was absolutely unacceptable to her!
Did you build all three Super A-classes, Xiaowan? Would you consider changing teams?
Phantom's mecha engineer was a mature woman who looked to be in her thirties. Her codename was Purple Rose, and she spoke very gently!
Wang Tianwei couldn't help but feel confused for a moment.
Xiaowan? Uh... Sister, I think I'll pass.
As soon as she finished speaking, the opponent's blue light mecha was the first to rush out, heading straight for Huang Yan!
Purple Rose followed closely, attacking in Wang Tianwei's direction.
Hehe, sister? I'm old enough to be your mother!
Wang Tianwei quickly drew her reinforced longsword to block the opponent's lightsaber.
You change your tune that fast!?
Jian Jingyu's primary goal was to protect the commander.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Lyra controlled her mecha to drop on all fours and charged explosively toward the enemy commander, only to be intercepted by a gray heavy mecha!
Whoa! Are young girls nowadays all this scary when they fight?
The enemy commander raised her right hand as she spoke, aiming the cannon barrel in her palm at Zhang Lyra.
Bang!
Huang Yan's sniper shot hit the cannon barrel on her hand, and then he quickly shifted positions.
Lyra, switch to thermal weapons. Don't hold back, they are very strong!
Hearing this, Zhang Lyra didn't hesitate for a second. The spikes on her back stood up. Two machine guns were the first to emerge from above her shoulders, and two cannon barrels appeared on both sides of her ribs, right against her body.
Seeing this, the enemy commander had to quickly dodge!
Sheila, cover me quickly! ...What kind of firepower porcupine is this!?
Purple Rose got even more excited upon seeing this.
Not bad, little sister! Bionic mechas can be played like this!?
If they weren't in the middle of a match right now, she would really love to drag that bear head out and study that mecha properly herself!
Although Phantom's heavy mecha couldn't keep up with Zhang Lyra's mobility, its firepower payload was not weak either. It opened its mouth, revealing a laser cannon barrel inside!
Boom!
Lyra, run first! Wait until her laser energy is depleted!
Zhang Lyra rolled on the ground, fleeing in a sorry state!
You! Guys! Are! Too! Ruthless!
Wang Tianwei slashed Purple Rose's mecha with every word she spoke.
Our Lyra is still just a kid!
The final slash landed on the knee joint of the opponent's mecha!
She had been observing for a while; the material hardness in this area was a bit lower!
From behind Jian Jingyu, Huang Yan continued aiming his sniper rifle at the enemy commander.
Bang!
The bullet was actually blocked by a shield that suddenly popped out from the chest of the enemy mecha!!!
Wang Tianwei was dumbfounded when she saw this scene.
Holy crap! What material is that!? Meteorite Crystal Iron!!
Sorry, but us older sisters have a little bit of money~
With one leg immobilized, Purple Rose operated the firearms on her shoulder to open fire, but unexpectedly, after just two bangs, it jammed?
And Wang Tianwei's mecha had only suffered superficial damage at this point!?
Don't ask! Asking means you're just hating the rich!
Wang Tianwei spoke with grief and indignation, while a screwdriver miraculously appeared in the palm of her mecha's hand!
Purple Rose then realized that the firearms on her shoulder hadn't jammed; the ejection port had been wedged shut by Wang Tianwei's blade!
The screwdriver slowly turned.
What are you doing!?
Wang Tianwei revealed the two super electromagnetic cannons on her shoulders, aiming them at Purple Rose's energy core...
Don't move. Let me see what other good stuff you have.
...Stop it right now!!!
Chao Hao sighed sorrowfully.
Sigh...
The moment the two mechas clashed earlier, he knew this would happen...
Eugene and Jin Xi had already silently put on their observation glasses. Who wouldn't want to get a closer look at the internal structure of two Super A-class mechas?
Before long, the solid purple cockpit was dismantled and dragged out to the side.
The curly-haired woman inside the cockpit, wearing a half-mask, looked out at the black mecha in disbelief!
She had actually been stripped out!!?
Her hands unconsciously crossed defensively over her chest...
You little girl! You!! How can you be so shameless!!?
!!!
Wang Tianwei was utterly shocked. How was she shameless again!?
No!? I... Sister!??
Are you from Qilin!? Who is your teacher!?
How could Wang Tianwei possibly answer that?
She lifted the cockpit and looked left and right. Hmm, what kind of protection could this drafty thing offer?
She carefully placed her in a depression around the edge of the arena. Phantom had one member eliminated.
Having dismantled the mecha once, she basically understood its internal structure and took photos of some materials she didn't quite recognize.
Wang Tianwei swept the mecha's remains off the stage.
Sister, take your time piecing it back together!
After saying that, she turned to support the little bear's side.
Ahahaha!! Major Threat! Yiwan is awesome!!
Sister Purple is shocked!! Sister Purple can't believe it!! Sister Purple is doubting her life!!
Yiwan has absolutely no morals! She is just a little girl, right!?
So what! She didn't even have the heart to throw Purple Rose out! Those gentle movements, I'm shipping them so hard!
No... why is Purple Rose blushing offstage?
Why do I feel like there's admiration in her eyes? Stop messing around, seriously...
Hahaha, Qilin has been upright its whole life, how did they teach such a talent!?
Oh no! The alma mater's reputation is ruined!
...I think Major Threat might be top-tier sarcasm!
Good thing it was just the mecha being stripped! If it were clothes, I'd have to call the police!
Chao Hao instantly felt that the popcorn in his mouth was no longer tasty. He reached up and pulled at the zebra headgear on his face; it was better not to be recognized at a time like this... Fu Manli had the exact same reaction.
Eugene and Jin Xi felt pins and needles on their backs while wearing their observation glasses, both regretting that they hadn't bought masks at the entrance earlier...
On the arena, Wang Tianwei and Zhang Lyra cooperated and finally found a flaw in the opponent's heavy mecha.
When she was rammed off the platform by Zhang Lyra, the opponent didn't forget to raise her hand and shoot at the two of them!
Interfered with by Huang Yan's mental power, two grenades still managed to hit the little bear.
Fortunately, the spikes on her back acted as armor when lowered. She turned around and had two broken off by the explosion, but it didn't affect the overall performance of the mecha!
Chao Hao shoved the popcorn to Fu Manli, and Fu Manli shoved it to Jin Xi. The two of them immediately switched to work mode, recording their students' performance.
Indeed, it is only when facing such an evenly matched opponent that certain flaws finally reveal themselves.
