Seeing that interviewing Qilin was a lost cause, and since they weren't allowed into the camp hospital for interviews today, the reporters had no choice but to swarm toward the other military academies...
As soon as Wang Kaiyu stepped off the aircraft, he saw four people carrying two "mud rolls" rushing past him like a gust of wind. Yellow uniforms? Could that be Wang Tianwei?
No, no, those four weren't his sister's teammates!
As for those two "mud rolls" being carried... he really couldn't see their faces clearly. His sister shouldn't be in such a miserable state, right?
Xu Mo also saw this scene.
"Whoa! Who are those two!?"
"...No idea."
The members of the second squad also had quite a few injuries on them, but when facing the reporters' questions, Ye Yingxuan always managed to answer with grace and composure.
Soon, the members of the first squad were also sent back.
When the questions were mostly answered, the leading teacher of the First Military Academy, Selena Mays, stepped forward to remind them,
"The competition has just ended, and our students still have a lot to do. Let's end today's interviews here."
Her tone was gentle, but her brown eyes held an absolute, unquestionable authority.
"Uh..."
Selena didn't wait for the reporters to agree. With just a slight nod, the two squads automatically merged into one and left following behind her.
"...So this is the aura of the First Military Academy."
The reporter who spoke took several photos of their retreating backs.
"Truly... extraordinary."
Wang Tianwei and Jian Jingyu were being carried and rushed along by their seniors! Their mud-covered hair, exposed to the air, had frozen solid.
"Se-e-eniors, ahhh, Huang..."
"Juniors, you don't need to walk! We'll carry you back!"
"To, the hos-pi-tal-al-al!"
Li Hece understood.
"You're not washing up!?"
"No-o-o-o..."
"Alright!"
The four immediately changed direction, carrying the two "rolls" and sprinting toward the hospital!
Having been eliminated, they had already rested for several days, and today they had just finished drinking nutrient fluids!
Seeing their juniors advance made them overwhelmingly happy! Their bodies were brimming with energy! Even carrying two "mud people" and sprinting at full speed didn't make them feel tired!
"You guys made us so proud!"
"Yeah! That counter-kill!! Junior! It was incredibly badass!!"
Angela, carrying Wang Tianwei's upper body, said,
"Those two paintballs you used to eliminate the opposing S-rank mecha pilot made me jump out of my seat! And the wild boars!! Hahaha, the wild boars absolutely saved the day!"
Wang Tianwei was being bounced around so much that her vision blurred!
Fortunately, they hadn't had time to eat lunch; otherwise, they would have thrown up from all the bouncing...
When they arrived at the hospital, Fu Manli saw the two mud monkeys wrapped in thick blankets and was speechless for a long time. Finally, as if resigning to her fate, she rubbed her temples.
"Lyra is still in the healing pod, but Huang Yan has already finished his treatment. He's right in here..."
Hearing this, Jian Jingyu immediately pulled open the door Teacher Fu was pointing at!
"Sir Huang!!!"
Huang Taihe, who was in the middle of speaking, was interrupted and froze on the spot, the tears in his eyes forced right back!
"...Uh, Uncle?"
Huang Yan turned his head and saw the two of them.
"You're back. Great job! Thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing that he had interrupted the father and son's conversation, Jian Jingyu felt a bit embarrassed and took small, quick steps to hide behind his sister Ma. Wang Tianwei had no choice but to awkwardly smile and greet him while wrapped in her blanket.
"Hello, Uncle..."
The two kept looking Huang Yan up and down, but hesitated to enter due to the strange atmosphere in the room.
How could Huang Taihe lose his temper at the sight of these two "mud people"!?
The slight discomfort from being rebuked by his son just now was diluted significantly...
"Come on in."
Hearing this, Wang Tianwei and Jian Jingyu didn't stand on ceremony and shuffled in, wrapped in their blankets.
"Sir Huang! We won!! How are you doing!? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere!?"
"Are you fully healed!? Are you sure you don't need to lie in the healing pod a bit longer!?"
"I'm fine. How long has it been since you sent me out? Even a mental power upgrade doesn't require lying there for that long..."
"You upgraded!?"
"Are you S-rank now? You're an S-rank Sir Huang!?"
Facing two sets of gleaming white teeth and four wide, staring eyes, Huang Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, I upgraded. That's why my mental power rioted early this month. I originally wanted to hold on until the end of the competition..."
"How could you recklessly try to hold on!?"
Wang Tianwei was incredibly happy.
"If we had known it was an upgrade, we would have sent you out ages ago!!"
"Sir Huang upgraded! Hahaha! From now on, we also have an S-rank commander!!"
Jian Jingyu looked Huang Yan up and down.
"Different! Tsk tsk, truly different!"
"What's different?"
"Everything is different!!"
"Oh? Are you unable to use your mental power right now!?"
Wang Tianwei rummaged through her spatial button.
"Tsk, we just got out and don't have any nutrient fluids. Have some taro to tide you over for now!"
Huang Taihe was just about to say that he had already drank some nutrient fluid when he saw his son take a blackened, roasted piece of taro from the muddy hands of the young girl.
"Alright."
Wang Tianwei was actually quite mindful of hygiene at this moment.
"Wash it before you eat. My hands aren't clean! To avoid being discovered, the two of us went into the mud pit one last time!"
"I can tell..."
"Oh, right, Sir Huang, Teacher Fu said Lyra's mental power is also upgrading!"
"I know. Dr. Tao is next door right now, so Little Bear's advancement shouldn't be a problem."
Wang Tianwei and Jian Jingyu did a little happy dance, taking quick, bouncy steps in their blankets.
"Hehehehe, both of you advanced! From now on, we're a 3S team!"
"Hahahahaha! I'll wake up laughing in my dreams!!"
"We don't have to fear S-rank mental power attacks from other teams anymore!!"
Seeing this comical scene, Huang Taihe couldn't help but chuckle, yet at the same time, he didn't know why his eyes felt a bit hot.
Ah, youth. To be this happy just because a teammate's mental power upgraded!?
At his age, it was rare to see people genuinely happy or offering sincere blessings for someone else's achievements...
Perhaps this was also the reason why Huang Yan refused to leave the military academy?
"Uncle hasn't thanked you yet. Thank you for usually taking care of Huang Yan. You also sent him out very timely this time..."
"You're too polite, Uncle! He takes care of us much more!"
"Hahaha, you don't know this, but Sir Huang is our brain!"
Hearing Jian Jingyu's words, Huang Taihe finally laughed out loud.
"Is that so? Then are you his limbs? Hahahaha, I watched the live broadcast. You all did a great job!
Keep up the good work in the upcoming mecha competition! Let Uncle know if you need anything!"
"Thank you, Uncle! Hehe, actually we aren't that amazing~"
Huang Yan really couldn't stand watching the two of them getting so flattered that they lost their bearings.
"Lyra won't be out for another hour. I'll take you back to take a shower first, so we don't make cleaning the healing pods more difficult.
Wang Tianwei, stop laughing. Your face is swollen like a pig's head..."
"Oh? Is it that obvious? Why didn't anyone tell me just now!?"
"Is it swollen? How come I can't tell?"
"Your eyes are swollen into slits too. I'm surprised you can even see where you're walking..."
