"Qilin Military Academy's Third Squad has been eliminated. Points cleared to zero."
Huang Yan and his teammates had just killed three hill-sized mutant beasts! The broadcast announcing their thirty-point gain had barely ended when they heard the news of Ruan Yi's squad being eliminated...
"Senior Ruan Yi and her team!? I wonder which military academy eliminated them?"
"Maybe they ran into a high-level pack of star beasts? Then our academy is now left with... one hundred and fifty points?"
"We've gotten sixty so far."
"The seniors seemed to have gotten fifty earlier..."
Wang Tianwei frowned.
"Earning points isn't easy, but losing them sure is fast... Currently, the First Military Academy hasn't had any teams eliminated, while the other academies have more or less lost some."
"If we want to fight for the top three, we need to push harder! The First Military Academy just scored a hundred and forty points in one go. I really want to know where they found so many star beasts."
"Either clear out more star beasts or eliminate other academies."
Huang Yan stored the star beast corpses into his spatial button.
"Our top priority right now is still to earn 200 points first... Let's go, no time to rest."
**********
Ruan Yi looked pale. Gritting her teeth, she pulled out all the paintballs she had on her.
"We've already been eliminated. You can withdraw your mental energy now, right!?"
Elizabeth Page seemed to just realize something.
"Oh! My apologies!"
The sharp pain in their heads faded, and the complexions of the four Qilin members finally looked a bit better.
"Thanks for the paintballs!"
"Elizabeth, at least let us feel a bit involved..."
Her teammate Lian Sheng said speechlessly, holding his paintball gun.
"Like this again!?"
Elizabeth blinked her large, innocent eyes.
"Weren't you the ones who eliminated them?"
"That's true... but you attacked them with your mental energy until they had absolutely no power to resist. What's the difference between this and shooting dead targets for us?"
The half-orc Mika sighed and stepped forward to pick up all the paintballs.
"Captain, we individual soldiers need training too..."
Elizabeth tilted her head.
"Alright, alright, then you guys go first next time! I just thought this would end things faster..."
Qilin's assaulter Fang Shuang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.
"You have S-class mental energy? ...How can you attack so many of us at the same time!?"
Their captain and mecha master were also S-class!
But in front of this person, they had absolutely no ability to fight back! They couldn't even manage a symbolic exchange of blows before the pain almost brought them to their knees...
Elizabeth smiled.
"Ruan Yi's squad, right? I remember. Your squad just won third place in the Federal Military Academy shooting competition a while ago, though you still lost to our academy."
Ruan Yi's expression was complicated... Both being S-class, the opponent's mental energy was terrifyingly strong!
"That's why a commander should specialize in mental energy! Shooting and whatever else... Have you ever considered that your training is too unfocused?"
Ruan Yi's eyes widened.
She had thought that since everyone's mental energy was S-class... the gap should be reflected in other areas!
So, starting from the first semester of her junior year, she spent more time on shooting and physical combat. But she never imagined someone could leave her so far behind in mental energy!?
Could her thinking have been wrong!? Was she actually still far behind in this aspect!??
The safety officers quickly took the Qilin members away, and the members of Elizabeth's squad watched them board the aircraft.
"A few more people doubting their lives."
Maxim shook his head.
"Elizabeth, relying on your extraordinary talent to feed others false information, you'll end up with no friends like this..."
Their captain naturally possessed the rare S+ class mental energy, and due to family genetics, her mental energy was even more aggressive!
This was something others couldn't achieve no matter how hard they trained. Back in the day, he himself was tricked by her into bitterly training his mental energy for two years! In the end, it was Uncle Page who told him the truth...
Elizabeth raised her hands and shrugged.
"I have indeed always done this, haven't I? Besides, I don't want to make friends with the weak. Let's go, time to get points."
Lian Sheng stored the paintball gun along with the captured paintballs into his spatial button.
"I kind of want to see what the people from the First Military Academy will look like when they meet you. Do you think the mental energy of He Siyu from their main team can match yours?"
"I want to know too, hahaha! But can you beat Leola? Oh, and they also have Fu Xingyuan!"
"...We'll just have to try!"
The First Military Academy team being discussed by them was currently pursuing Zhou Yu and Feng Yi's squad!
"Yoho! Qilin's strength isn't bad!"
Wu Pingzhuo chased for over ten minutes before finally engaging in combat with Feng Yi!
Being kicked in the chest by him, he couldn't help but be surprised. There were very few opponents left who could land a kick on him!
"You're pretty good too!"
Feng Yi was also fired up!
This guy was a heavy mecha competitor from the First Military Academy, yet he seemed to combine all the strengths of Zhang Lyra and Jian Jingyu!
His strikes were heavy and fast; one look and you could tell he was a veteran!
If he hadn't already adapted to the attack styles of those two people, he might already be on the ground right now!
He couldn't run away anyway... He might as well go all out and fight!
If he won, he would go save the captain and the others! If he lost, there was nothing he could do... His teammates had all scattered to run for their lives, and winning with brains really wasn't his strong suit!
The commander, Zhou Yu, constantly changed directions while fleeing on the mountain to prevent being hit by paintball guns from the people behind him.
If you asked why he didn't stop to fight back? They had already lost a mecha master...
Three against four? And against the First Military Academy's all-S-class main team!? Wasn't that just a joke!!
The female commander behind him constantly interfered with him using mental energy. He had to stay highly concentrated to ensure his barrier wasn't breached... As long as one person was alive, their points wouldn't be cleared!
"Classmate! You're already first in points! The area is so big, wouldn't it be better if we were a bit more peaceful!?"
He Siyu threw out a chain axe about the length of a calf, cutting off Zhou Yu's path of escape!
"Our two teams are too close, you know that."
Zhou Yu was forced to stop abruptly. Of course he knew! If it were him, he would also worry about being backstabbed while fighting star beasts!
"...But we pose no threat to you! You guys are all S-class!!"
The chain axe was yanked back, and the person had already arrived behind him!
This damn speed!! Zhou Yu had to pull out his lightsaber to deal with it!
He Siyu leaped high into the air holding the chain axe, her brown eyes fixed intently on her opponent.
"Don't be too modest, classmate. Your squad's strength isn't weak at all!"
He Siyu's attacks were fast and ruthless! The chain axe was played with such skill it was dazzling!
The chain, the axe head, and the axe handle were all weapons in her hands!
Zhou Yu struggled considerably to meet the attacks, and even his mental energy was firmly suppressed by her!
"Ugh!"
Not knowing what hit the back of his knee, Zhou Yu was quickly forced to his knees by He Siyu. A paintball fired from behind hit him dead center!
"Bang!"
...It's over.
"Thanks."
Fu Xingyuan quickly came over after firing the shot, and He Siyu retracted her weapon.
"Are you done on your end? Two o'clock direction, go help Wu Pingzhuo."
"Copy that."
"...You guys are way too cautious."
Zhou Yu sat on the ground with a wry smile.
Fu Xingyuan had returned, which meant Zhou Rong had likely been eliminated as well. Now, only Feng Yi was left...
Sigh, who would have thought that after circling around all day, they would still run into them!?
He Siyu reached out and hauled him to his feet.
"Heh, what was the most important lesson for a commander again?"
"...Never underestimate the enemy."
"Don't forget to leave your paintballs behind."
"..."
"Qilin Military Academy First Squad has been eliminated. Points reset to zero."
