He Siyu, the commander of Fu Xingyuan's squad, immediately enveloped them with her spiritual power...
Huang Yan deployed his spiritual barrier, carelessly playing with a coin in his hand without even batting an eyelid.
A spiritual probe from an S-rank commander?
His assessment was... it was far inferior to Yi Shao's.
He Siyu found that she actually couldn't break through Huang Yan's spiritual barrier for a moment? She said with keen interest,
"Just an A-rank and he can block me? How come I didn't know he was this strong before?"
"You know him?"
"Yeah, when I met him... Huang Yan seemed to be only a B-rank."
"Wang Tianwei was also a B before."
The squad's mecha maker, Leola, looked at her optical computer,
"But rumor has it that she worked extremely hard after going to Qilin. Even Taihe bought her patents. She might just be a dark horse."
Then she looked up,
"Of course, a squad's strength also depends on their overall teamwork.
Qilin's first-years didn't practice in squad formations during their first semester. Plus, they are mostly A-ranks, so their lineup is inferior to ours. This probably isn't their main team..."
The heavy gunner, Wu Pingzhuo, clasped his hands behind his head, his gaze falling on the red-haired demi-human,
"It's not like every military academy can recruit as many S-rank students as we do.
Qilin... used to be quite strong, but they haven't been doing so well in recent years.
Their fourth-year Ruan Yi squad is strong in shooting, but average in other aspects. Let's see how the others fare..."
Wang Kaiyu also greeted Jian Jingyu and Huang Yan when he saw them,
"We're opponents this time. If we meet on the battlefield, I won't show any mercy!"
"Haha! Don't worry, we won't hold back just because you're Sister Zebra's biological brother!"
"Sister Zebra??"
...Had she been stripped of her humanity just because of her hair color?
Wang Tianwei patted him and introduced Little Bear,
"This is Zhang Lyra, our squad's heavy gunner. You'll get to see her in action!"
"Hello."
Zhang Lyra spoke first.
So this is Tianwei's brother... It was her first time seeing him. He was really tall!
"Hello, I'm also a heavy gunner! I always hear my sister say how strong you are! We should spar if we get the chance!"
"No problem."
As Wang Kaiyu spoke, he couldn't help but observe Wang Tianwei from the corner of his eye. Seeing that she really didn't spare a single glance toward Fu Xingyuan, he finally felt relieved!
Thank goodness! His sister really didn't care about that white-haired guy anymore!
"How many teams did your school send this time?"
"Three. One team from our first year, and Fu Xingyuan's squad came too.
Oh! Did you know, Sis? Wang Xian got eliminated! But Elk made it..."
Even though they were in the same school, Wang Kaiyu had no fondness for Elk whatsoever.
The guy's aesthetic taste was terrible, always sporting a hairstyle that looked like it had been licked by a star beast, and he was always trying to be a bad influence on his sister!
But he had to admit, Elk's strength was decent, at the very least, he was stronger than their cousin Wang Xian.
"Oh!? Only three teams? We have four teams here!"
"Three teams are enough."
Wang Kaiyu spoke confidently.
Even if he acknowledged his sister's growth over the past year, they were the First Military Academy!
In any competition the First Military Academy participated in, the championship never fell into the hands of others.
"A lot of veteran military academies are participating this time. You guys need to be careful and try to make it as far as possible... Even just gaining some experience is good!
I heard Walke's mecha makers are also very formidable, they supposedly won some major awards..."
The more Wang Tianwei listened, the more she felt something was off. She reached out and patted Wang Kaiyu on the chest,
"Little bro, you need to know that your sister is the best! Are you actually boosting other people's morale in front of me?
Emmm... Gaining more experience is indeed nice. Just be careful yourself, and don't get eliminated too quickly."
"???"
Wang Kaiyu was patted, looking completely baffled.
Confidence was certainly a good thing... but was it really okay for his sister to be this arrogant?
"Alright, we just arrived, so we're going to look around. See you on the battlefield!
When you witness your sister's heroic bearing, try not to worship me too much!"
"...Same to you. After the competition is over, I'll allow you to brag everywhere about having me as your brother!"
Saying goodbye to Wang Kaiyu, the group checked out every single window on the first and second floors of the cafeteria before they were willing to leave!
"They sell desserts! Sister Zebra, freshly made desserts!"
"I saw! There are also stir-fries. Not bad, not bad. I was initially worried they'd make us drink nutrient solutions every day..."
"The Military Academy League has to cater to everyone's tastes."
Wang Tianwei and the others swaggered around, exploring the entire camp under various gazes!
"The facilities are really comprehensive!"
"Yeah! We just need to focus on the competition! We don't have to worry about anything else!"
There are two hospital buildings alone here! It gives off the feeling that no matter how severe the injury, it can be cured!
There's also a styling salon and an open-air sports field about the size of two football pitches put together!
The facilities in the recreation and service areas are also very complete.
Pools, courts, jogging tracks... and even specialized cafeterias catering to the dietary habits of other planets!
The military exhibition area and the press room are right next to each other. It's practically a large community!
"The opening ceremony is being held at that sports field tomorrow?"
Wang Tianwei asked, looking at the colorful flags outside the field.
"We have to gather in the dormitory building first, and then the teachers will take us over."
Huang Yan immediately added,
"I've already booked the mecha room and the practice room. It'll be our turn to use them in an hour."
"All the military academies are booking them, right?"
There were more and more people in the camp, and Zhang Lyra saw many students wearing different uniforms.
"Once a batch gets eliminated, these places will be easier to book."
As they talked, they walked back, planning to go to the practice room early to wait. They happened to run into a team of people wearing dark green uniforms walking by.
"Walke has arrived too."
"...Why are they all looking at people through their nostrils?"
Jian Jingyu didn't understand. Was it really necessary for those people to tilt their necks back to that angle?
Zhang Lyra glanced over,
"They've always been like this... to show off their distinctive aristocratic temperament, I suppose?"
Wang Tianwei couldn't help but look at that line of dark green backs.
"Aristocratic temperament!? How come I didn't see it? By the way, what do they actually look like? I didn't even see their faces?"
"Um... flat. If you meet their eyes, they'll just roll them wildly."
Jian Jingyu answered very briefly.
Huang Yan had his hands in his pockets.
"In their military academy, looking down on others is also a form of training.
However, while they strike this pose, they carefully observe their opponents, so it can also be considered a kind of misdirection..."
"...It's certainly confusing."
"It's a good thing each school lives in a separate building. Otherwise, if I had to keep looking at them like that, I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to help them fix their necks..."
Jian Jingyu said as he touched the back of his own neck. Doesn't it get tiring tilting it back like that all the time!?
"Let's go, we'll warm up first."
"I brought all my mecha materials over! I heard there are also mecha makers from the military district here! I wonder if I'll be able to talk to them?"
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony! Which leaders do you guess will come over!?"
"Then there should be a lot of reporters, right?"
"You two are not allowed to leave my sight tomorrow..."
