After returning to the camp from Planet Eshuinuo, the members of the Second Squad of the First Military Academy took a good shower first, and then rushed to the No. 1 Cafeteria to gorge themselves on a massive meal.
...Naturally, it was put on Wang Tianwei's tab.
In Xu Mo's words, if they didn't make her bleed a little, it wouldn't make up for the embarrassment of being dismantled right under the noses of the entire Federation!
Now they had to turn off the bullet comments when watching the live stream replays, and they didn't dare to log into the school and league forums anymore. As soon as they entered, they were greeted with all kinds of memes.
The dumbfounded expression of Ye's squad facing Huang Yan had already gone viral outside their circle...
The GIF of Wang Kaiyu and Xu Mo lying in the transparent cockpit like two eggs being thrown onto the deck was actually captioned, Fresh seafood? Up you go!
It really made one wonder how those netizens with their 36-degree mouths could say such cold words... Didn't they know that harsh words break hearts?
Wang Kaiyu indignantly stuffed rice with toppings into his mouth, not even bothering to correct his teammates that his dad was the one paying for this meal!
The young man had been hurt by his parents...
After he was eliminated and got his optical computer back, the first thing he received was not comfort, but ruthless mockery from his old father, along with a few GIFs of him looking bewildered at the bottom of the sea and his mecha being slapped by his sister's mechanical arm?
He even asked him if he felt the suppression of his bloodline??
His mother did symbolically ask if he choked on water and offered a few words of comfort... but judging from the fact that both of them had already changed their profile pictures to screenshots of his sister dealing with him underwater, it was clear that there was no longer a place for him in that family!
So he didn't intend to save his dad any money.
Boss! Thirty meat buns, thirty vegetable buns, and thirty red bean buns! Put it on the tab, I'm taking them to go!
You got it! I knew you guys were out, so I prepared extra dough and fillings overnight. They'll all be put to good use!
...There was really no need to rub salt in the wound like that.
Selena kept the kids company while they ate, taking a moment now and then to glance at the live broadcast.
After you finish eating, I'll take you to the hospital. Lucas, are you feeling unwell anywhere else?
Lucas had already applied medicine last night, and the swelling on his cheek had gone down a bit today. It had to be said that Jian Jingyu knew how to hold back...
I won't go, teacher. I have a meeting later. After it's done, we can head back on our own today. He's squad is still hanging in there, so you should keep an eye on them.
Selena was a bit confused. She hadn't mentioned any meeting. What meeting did Lucas have? After she asked,
Hehe, after I got out, I sent Sister Ma's design blueprints to the military. Teacher Shi said he wanted to double-check a few things with me.
After answering, Lucas continued to wolf down his food. He had to finish quickly and go back to make some preparations.
Selena was slightly stunned. Teacher Shi... did he mean Shi Zhixin, the mecha master from the military?
...Then you go ahead with your business.
Ye Yingxuan polished off a full bowl of rice in no time, and the gloom in her heart finally dissipated quite a bit.
Teacher, since school has already started, we'll go straight to school to report in next Monday. We'll make up for the missed classes during this time as soon as possible, so you don't need to worry.
Aside from the initial bewilderment and indignation of being eliminated in the semifinals, after calming down, each of them felt that they needed to work harder. Thus, they had already planned out their training goals for the upcoming semester.
Selena, who originally wanted to encourage her students, had nothing more to say. She suddenly felt that being a teacher lacked a sense of accomplishment when the students had already arranged everything for themselves.
Mhm... You don't need to be too tense either. Take a good rest for these next couple of days.
Wang Kaiyu put down his spoon.
By the way, teacher, I remember our school has an elective course on mecha maintenance. I want to sign up for that this semester.
Hearing this, Xu Mo also asked,
Teacher, what elective courses are there for spiritual power? Could you tell me about them?
...
**********
The mecha competition on Planet Eshuinuo entered its fourth day.
Two rust-mottled ships chased each other across the sea's surface!
Elizabeth used her spiritual power to calibrate the ship's direction, and Lian Sheng had already pushed the engine's performance to the maximum!
What bad luck...
They ran into the First Military Academy halfway through their battle with the mutant jellyfish swarm, forcing them to slip away before they could even secure the full one hundred points!
Staring at the ship hot on their heels, Mika and Maxim both tensed their nerves.
The opposing side's two individual soldiers were Fu Xingyuan and Wu Pingzhuo; they absolutely could not be underestimated.
Elizabeth closed her eyes, continuously stimulating nearby animals and mutant beasts to launch attacks.
Unfortunately, she wasn't Hiranuma Yusho. The spiritual power mobilization method she had practiced since childhood was to directly provoke the opponent's ferocity. Therefore, the attacks of those creatures did not distinguish between friend and foe. If she didn't estimate the distance well, they would suffer too!
If it were Hiranuma Yusho, he would probably be able to make these low-level mutant beasts completely serve him, right? Old habits die hard...
We are five nautical miles away from land! Once we get there, we'll find cover first. It's best if we shake them off, and then we'll figure out what to do next.
Yes!
The landmass drawn on the nautical chart was very large. Whether fighting or evading on the ground, it was much more familiar to them... at least more advantageous than fighting at sea.
Besides, the academy's bonus point button was also there! As long as they found the bonus point button, even if they hid for the next five days, they could enter the finals!
To be safe, Elizabeth felt they should get ashore first.
He Siyu also noticed that the direction of Elizabeth's ship was heading towards the land on the nautical chart.
She immediately confirmed that everyone's nautical chart was the same this time, and the academy's bonus point button was indeed set in one place.
Fortunately, they hadn't heard any announcements of teams gaining bonus points yet, so they weren't too anxious.
The mutant beasts provoked by Elizabeth's spiritual power were incredibly fierce, and more and more kept coming from behind!
The two individual soldiers on the deck gripped their rifles and struggled to clear them out, expending a lot of effort to open up a path in the sea.
Thankfully, there were no large fish-type mutant beasts nearby...
Leola, can we still accelerate?
Hearing this, Leola simply boarded her mecha directly. After transforming, she used the mecha's propulsion to push the ship forward.
After confirming that Fu Xingyuan could hold the line alone, Wu Pingzhuo also joined the ranks of pushing the ship.
The people of Santorini quickly noticed that the distance between the two ships was getting closer?
Damn it! They're using mechas to push the ship!
Seeing clearly the opponent's strategy, the Santorini team members also immediately boarded their mechas.
The distance between the two ships was pulled apart again. The audience in the live broadcast room felt like they were watching a racing match.
The First Military Academy is determined to get Santorini, huh?
They are fighting over who lands first, right? Moving first definitely has the advantage!
Hehe... Moving first does have an advantage.
I can only say, these two teams... had better look out for themselves.
Hahahahaha, didn't expect that, did you? You're still too late!
