Blade clearly got second place, but they were the only team able to stand on the podium fully intact with all four members.
Orady himself was said to have experienced having his mecha dismantled on the battlefield for the first time. Taking a massive blow to his pride, he had already left early...
On the "QL's Major Threat" side, two people were sent to the medical room. Zhang Lyra stayed there to watch over them, leaving only Jian Jingyu to receive the award.
When it came time to give the acceptance speech, because he was completely unprepared, he just spouted whatever came to mind.
"Thank you all for coming to watch our match. This is what our 'Major Threat' deserves!
I also want to thank my captain and teammates! Without them, today's victory wouldn't be possible..."
"Oh, right! I also have to thank Zero Realm! They generously gave us so much Liquid Gold!"
Seeing that the four people in the VIP seats still hadn't left, Jian Jingyu's brain short-circuited.
"And we must thank our teachers! They treat us as gently as the spring breeze..."
Chao Hao put his zebra mask back on in his seat.
"A Little Goldfish's" acceptance speech basically thanked everyone he knew and didn't know!
He even shook hands and thanked the players from Blade, leaving the few veterans completely baffled.
"Uh... is this what we're supposed to do?"
Chao Hao asked expressionlessly,
"We can go now. How did the investigation go?"
Fu Manli immediately answered,
"There are four exits. I'll send them to you."
"...I'll go to A."
After Jian Jingyu received the trophy and prizes, he hurried back to the medical room!
Wang Tianwei and Huang Yan lay in the medical cabins for a while and finally regained their vitality.
"You two are finally awake! You scared me to death!
Are you guys okay this time?! I only remembered that Sister Ma likes to dismantle mechas! I completely forgot that was a Super S-class! My bad, my bad!"
Wang Tianwei sucked on a Yida nutrient solution specially made to replenish mental strength and waved her hand.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. It's mostly just that fighting all day is too tiring!
I've been exercising a lot with your mecha recently, so it didn't hurt as much as last time!"
Huang Yan also stood up.
"I'm fine too. Did you get the prizes?"
Jian Jingyu grinned broadly and handed the trophy to Huang Yan, then pulled a box out of his spatial button.
Clang!
He placed it on the floor.
"It's all here! Twenty kilograms of Liquid Gold!"
Wang Tianwei immediately pounced on it, cherishingly touching it left and right, then opened the lid to take a look.
"It really is Liquid Gold! We actually beat two LV3s!! Hahahahaha!!"
Jian Jingyu and Zhang Lyra came to her side to look together.
"Is this the metal used on Orady's mecha? It really is liquid! A thin layer of it can block cannonballs..."
Wang Tianwei had just overdrawn her energy once, so she didn't dare to test the Super S-class material so soon.
"Yeah, one day I'm going to master it!
There's twenty kilograms in total, five kilograms per person. Should we split it now or wait until we get back?"
Zhang Lyra stood up.
"I can't use it either. You can have the materials; I'll just take my share of the prize money."
Jian Jingyu thought about it.
"It also requires mental strength to control! I wouldn't remember to use this thing during combat... The materials my dad prepared for me are enough."
Huang Yan also said,
"We fought for these materials for you in the first place."
Wang Tianwei felt a warm glow in her heart and didn't decline further, storing the materials away.
"Alright! Then I'll take advantage of this and won't take any prize money this time! Let's go, let's go! Let's go eat beef! I'm so hungry and empty!"
"First place! We have to celebrate properly! Sir Huang, let's take a group photo!"
"Let's take it outside. What's there to photograph in the medical room..."
The four of them walked out, discussing which restaurant they should go to for a meal.
Zhang Lyra took off her headpiece.
"Why do I feel like we've forgotten something?"
Jian Jingyu shook his curly hair.
"Huh? Lyra, what did you just say?"
Huang Yan paused as he was about to take off his headpiece. How could he have forgotten about this...
"You four!"
Fu Manli waited until the two students took off their headpieces before speaking.
"Stop right there."
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Lyra immediately froze!
"Teacher... Fu."
Wang Tianwei turned around stiffly, just in time to see Fu Manli sending a voice message on her optical computer.
"They are on my side, Exit C. Come over via the main road. Don't worry, they can't run."
Good heavens, was this the legendary catching a turtle in a jar?!
Fu Manli walked up to Zhang Lyra.
"...Bear Clan Never Admits Defeat?"
The little bear headpiece randomly chosen for watching the match actually represented her own student...
Beside them, Jian Jingyu felt incredibly guilty.
"Hello... Teacher Fu."
"Mhm."
Fu Manli grunted, then looked at the two people behind them. The Zebra and the Yellow Weasel silently shifted their gazes to the side.
"...You two don't think you can still run, do you? Do you think I can't tell who you are?"
Seen through!
Wang Tianwei sighed heavily in her heart!
If the little bear and the goldfish hadn't been caught red-handed, she definitely would have slipped away!
"Wang Tianwei!!"
The familiar loud voice made people involuntarily shudder. Resigning to her fate, she turned around, coming face-to-face with another identical zebra mask.
"...???"
"Pfft!!"
Jin Xi couldn't hold back his laughter upon seeing this scene. Beside him, Eugene reminded,
"Teacher Chao, the mask..."
Chao Hao had spent the entire way here thinking about how to teach these audacious students a lesson, completely forgetting that he still had something on his head...
Click.
Huang Yan silently put away his optical computer.
"Hello, teachers."
"..."
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Eugene approached Wang Tianwei and broke the ice.
"You child, you really don't hold back! You just went up and dismantled someone's Super S-class mecha?! Do you have a death wish?"
Saying this, he carefully observed her complexion.
"You suffered from mental strength exhaustion just now, right? How do you feel now? Sigh... Do you want to go to the hospital for another check-up?"
Chao Hao had the wind taken out of his sails, so he just changed his target.
That moment just now was truly embarrassing. Facing Wang Tianwei's horse face, he forgot everything...
"Huang Yan, that final mental strength attack... well done."
"?"
Jin Xi couldn't help but turn his head to look at him. This guy definitely didn't have this attitude just a moment ago!
It couldn't be helped; Huang Yan's battle just now was textbook perfect! No one could find a single fault with it!
Huang Yan also felt it was unbelievable. He actually heard words of praise from Yama Chao?!
"...Thank you, teacher."
"Don't be in a rush to thank me.
Do you two have a death wish? How dare you use your mental strength like that?! Who let you participate in this kind of competitive match in your first year?!
If the opponents were even slightly stronger! You would have died here today, do you know that?!
And you! Jian Jingyu! You only care about the front and ignore the back?!
If that Orady hadn't been pinned down by Lyra, you would have been dead long ago, do you know that?..."
Chao Hao finally found his groove, and the four students stood in a row, being scolded like grandchildren.
Eugene secretly made small gestures with Wang Tianwei, but Fu Manli nudged him with her elbow.
"Cough, cough. Alright, alright, stop nagging them here!
They fought all day and the kids are tired. The teachers will take you out to eat something!"
