Tyson, the S-rank heavy machine gunner who followed along, also felt they had this in the bag!
She was just an A-rank mecha mechanic with thin arms and legs; Quincy could handle her alone!
Wang Tianwei lowered her head and stayed silent for a long time, as if she were undergoing a mental struggle.
"Think about it carefully. Even if you don't tell me, those two won't last much longer. Don't let your emotions dictate your actions."
Quincy added more fuel to the fire.
"...@$#"
"What did you say?"
"%...$#*&"
"Speak louder!"
Quincy unconsciously took a few steps closer.
As if acting out of spite, Wang Tianwei threw her paintball gun to the side and walked over silently.
"That's more like it!"
When there were only about three steps left between them, Wang Tianwei finally raised her head. She still had that helpless expression on her face, but her voice was much clearer.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Huh??"
"I was waiting for the best fighter on our team. What were you waiting for?"
"...!?"
A sudden chill swept across Tyson's back. Wait! Someone was there!!
"Bang!"
Paintballs splattered all over his back! He looked behind him in disbelief...
"Jian!?..."
Wasn't this the S-rank assaulter from the Qilin squad!?
Quincy was also shocked! There was someone else nearby!?
Impossible! Why hadn't his mental energy detected anything at all!?
In the single second he was stunned, Wang Tianwei gathered all her strength and lunged at Quincy!
"I've been looking for you all day! Little Freckles!"
Her seemingly slender arms bulged with muscles. She grabbed Quincy by the waist and threw him to the ground with a suplex!
"How dare you call our Little Bear an inferior breed!? And you dared to mock Sir Huang!?"
Quincy hadn't expected Wang Tianwei to be so skilled despite her short stature!
In just a couple of moves, she pinned him to the ground, kicked away his paintball gun, and locked his arms and legs! He couldn't even pull out his cold weapons!
As a grown man, he was pressed down so hard his cheek was glued to the ground! His whole body was twisted awkwardly, completely unable to exert any force.
"Wang Tianwei! You're despicable!!"
Jian Jingyu eliminated the heavy machine gunner and immediately rushed over to help.
"I'm despicable!? You chased me so relentlessly, and I'm the despicable one!?"
Wang Tianwei got angry just thinking about how she had almost run her legs off.
"And you still dared to spout that nonsense to trick me!? Goldfish! Hold him down, I'm going to open a third eye on his face!!!"
"Ah!!!"
"...Is that a good idea?"
Jian Jingyu took over from Wang Tianwei, locking the guy down tightly, his eyes constantly glancing at the "little bees" filming them from close range.
"Opening a third eye" sounded a bit bloody; it would ruin his Sister Zebra's image in the hearts of all the Federation's people!
...How could he cover it up? Was it too late to throw a tent over them now?
Quincy was absolutely terrified when he heard that.
"Wang Tianwei, this is the military academy league... A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. You'd better eliminate me right now!"
Wang Tianwei pulled out a Wutuo branch she had just collected this morning from her spatial button.
"In your dreams! If I eliminate you, you'll just be picked up and taken away!?
Today I'm going to show you how many eyes the Horse Prince has! Let's see if you ever dare insult our Qilin people again!"
Seeing the Wutuo branch, Jian Jingyu felt relieved. She wasn't going to carve it into him... That was fine then!
He made Quincy clasp his hands behind his head and locked him down even tighter. His upper body was lifted up like a thrashing fish!
"Wang Tianwei! Jian Jingyu!! You two XXXX! I'm going to file a complaint against you! Tyson, you XX, hurry up and save me!"
Tyson stood there with his mouth wide open, unsure if he should step forward.
According to the rules, he was already dead and couldn't move, but his captain was being abused by the Qilin people...
"Don't you move! You're a dead man now!"
"..."
Before long, the aircraft to pick up eliminated contestants descended.
"Student, please board the aircraft with us."
"Make him leave his paintballs, food, and supplies behind!!"
The safety officer's eye twitched as he watched Wang Tianwei draw an eye on Quincy's forehead, while Jian Jingyu didn't forget to turn back and count Tyson's paintball stash...
The organizing committee's rules stated that eliminated individuals could not attack or be attacked. That student hadn't been eliminated yet... so he could only stand by and watch for now.
It wasn't until Wang Tianwei finished her artwork that Jian Jingyu sent Quincy off with a single paintball!
"Alright, you leave your paintballs and food behind too!"
"You XXXX!!!"
Facing Quincy's insults head-on, the two felt absolutely nothing.
Honestly, with his current look, no matter how harshly he cursed, it was hard for anyone to get mad...
Jian Jingyu's eyes were filled with nothing but admiration for his Sister Zebra.
"You even managed to draw both the upper and lower eyelashes in such a short amount of time!? And these pitiful tears... Quite vivid, aren't they?"
"For us designers, the most important thing is realism! Tsk... My hands are all black now."
Quincy couldn't see what he looked like, but he kept trying to wipe the stuff off his forehead with his hands!
"Sir! I protest!! Their tactics are too insidious!"
Wang Tianwei and Jian Jingyu picked up the supplies of the two guys.
"All is fair in war, brother."
"You see a girl in the deep mountains and old forests and you actually dare to chase her? Have you never studied commanding or watched a horror movie?"
"You!?"
"Student, you have been eliminated. Now, come with us."
"Hmph!! Don't get too smug! We still..."
"Valkyrie Military Academy's Fourth Squad has been eliminated. Points cleared to zero."
"How could that be!? Bian Shuruo couldn't possibly lose!!"
Quincy looked at the safety officer in disbelief. The safety officer turned his head and directly met his "third eye."
"..."
Nobody told him he'd have to hold back his laughter when he took this job. But those painted tears were indeed very vivid...
"Yes!"
Jian Jingyu and Wang Tianwei high-fived, then contacted Huang Yan's side through the earpiece communicators.
"Good, as long as no one is hurt! We'll head over right away!"
Quincy was still relentless.
"Bian Shuruo is an S-rank! Huang Yan and that demi-beast are only A-rank! And there's Li You too. They couldn't possibly lose!"
Wang Tianwei shot him a glance.
"Who cares what rank you are? Let's go, Goldfish! Time to earn some points!"
Quincy gritted his teeth as he watched the two of them walk further and further away side by side...
"No! Sir, they cheated!! That is absolutely not the level of skill a mecha mechanic should have!"
Hearing this, the safety officer looked at him with pity.
"Let's go, kid. If you're really having a hard time, I can have someone take you to the hospital to scan your brain?"
**********
Where exactly did Bian Shuruo start to feel something was wrong?
It was probably when she caught up with Zhang Lyra, only to find the other girl pulling out an approximately two-meter-long, heavy-looking pitch-black longsword with a single hand, and holding it high up in the air...
"Since we're both individual soldiers, how about we put down the paintball guns and exchange a few moves?"
Zhang Lyra was eager to try. She wanted to test the skill level of an S-rank assaulter from another military academy.
"Why would we..."
"Bang!"
Bian Shuruo's expression drastically changed. She turned around only to discover that Li You had already been eliminated!
And she hadn't even sensed anyone else nearby! Huang Yan's voice echoed directly in her mind,
"Agree to her challenge, or I'll eliminate you right now."
"!?"
Did someone in Qilin hide their true strength!?
No, ever since they entered the campsite, they had to go through a mental energy detector at least once every day. How on earth did he do it!?
This was no time to be distracted by such thoughts... Bian Shuruo gritted his teeth and glared at the beastman standing before him.
"A one-on-one duel is fine, but how about the loser gets automatically eliminated? Do you have the guts to accept!?"
"No problem."
