"We won! We won!!!"
"Our commander is invincible!!"
Huang Yan was tossed high into the air by the other three on the square platform of the arena!
"No wonder they immediately go after the commander when they can't win! Having a commander feels amazing!"
Jian Jingyu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
It was the first time the squad had won so easily! The feeling of not having to use their brains to think was absolutely fantastic!
Last time, he and Zhang Lyra had suffered a loss in this regard... because they both thought the other would attack, they let an enemy slip through...
"Hey there, you kids are growing up pretty fast, huh?"
The members of the "Guerrilla Team" finally climbed up from below the stage to take a bow at the center of the arena.
The opposing commander walked up to them.
"Are you guys really from Qilin? Doesn't Qilin produce mecha mechanics?"
"What grade are you in? We can be considered your seniors!"
Wang Tianwei looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
"Trying to strip our identities just because you can't beat us? That's not very kind of you, seniors!"
"We can't tell you!"
After Jian Jingyu finished speaking, he pushed his teammates and quickly returned through the original passageway.
After taking her "mecha revenge," Zhang Lyra reverted to her usual taciturn personality and left, following behind Wang Tianwei.
"Not bad at all!"
"Not bad what? We were beaten by a bunch of students! It's embarrassing enough..."
"Hahaha, alright! We weren't the best even when we were in school, so losing is just losing!"
"Hey! Carry me, my energy core got punctured by that heavy mecha! Kids these days have such big tempers!"
On the "Guerrilla Team's" side, the heavy mecha carried the medium mecha off the stage.
The four from Qilin quickly slipped out of the Zero Boundary.
"To celebrate our squad welcoming a commander and winning the match! Let's go have a huge feast today! Sir Huang's treat!"
Wang Tianwei pulled off her headgear and suggested. Huang Yan looked over in confusion.
"Why is it my treat? Shouldn't you guys treat me?"
Jian Jingyu put his arm around Huang Yan's neck like a good buddy!
"Our squad is different, whoever is the most awesome pays!"
"..."
He didn't really care about the money, but since they put it that way.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Buffet!!!"
A male and a female voice rang out simultaneously. Wang Tianwei and Jian Jingyu's eyes were sparkling, while Zhang Lyra just stood to the side, nodding honestly.
"So ambitious..."
But once they were actually sitting in the restaurant, Huang Yan realized that a buffet was indeed the most suitable for them...
Wang Tianwei and Jian Jingyu seemed to have awakened their gluttonous bloodlines.
The chef had just finished slicing a fish, and Wang Tianwei, while smiling at him, picked up a small plate of fish meat to put aside, and then came back carrying the huge serving plate!
The meat steaks on Jian Jingyu's plate were stacked high, like he was building blocks...
Zhang Lyra was actually the most polite eater among the three...
"Lyra, how can you eat staple foods when you come to a place like this!?"
Wang Tianwei looked at the fried noodles on Zhang Lyra's plate, feeling disappointed at her lack of ambition.
"You'll get full very quickly this way, you know!?"
With that, she shared a few pieces of fish from her own plate.
"You need to eat more meat!"
Zhang Lyra frowned in disgust at the pieces of raw fish.
"I don't eat raw fish."
"What!? As a member of the Bear Clan, you actually don't eat raw fish!?"
Wang Tianwei instantly thought of a scene of brown bears catching fish she had seen somewhere...
Her expression was so vivid that Zhang Lyra could tell just by looking at her face that she had heard some rumors about the Bear Clan from somewhere again...
"...I'll say it again, demi-humans are not the same as beasts! And our tastes are all different!"
"Okay, okay, got it."
Wang Tianwei took the sashimi back. Huang Yan bit his straw and spoke up.
"I've been wanting to ask for a long time, why do you love eating real food so much?"
Originally, he thought the Wang family might be treating her badly?
But since school started, they had specially formulated nutrient solutions for her, bought a house in the same neighborhood as him, and even got her a hovercar!
Not to mention that she was like a little god of wealth at school, handing out nutrient solutions everywhere... she didn't look abused at all.
"You don't understand, do you? Food is eaten for the soul!
Putting things in your mouth and swallowing them down into your stomach gives rise to a sense of happiness and satisfaction! Someone like you who drinks nutrient solutions every day wouldn't understand!"
Huang Yan was completely baffled. Wait... do you even remember that your family sells nutrient solutions?
Jian Jingyu simply shared a piece of his steak with him, and seeing this, Wang Tianwei also placed a few pieces of fish onto Huang Yan's empty plate.
Zhang Lyra followed suit, sharing a portion of her noodles as well.
"Give it a try! Having your stomach filled up will make you very happy!"
Three pairs of eyes stared at him expectantly. Huang Yan struggled for a long time.
"...Are you guys just unable to finish all this?"
"!???"
**********
On Monday, Chao Hao must have lost his mind, as he actually wore a full suit and even tied a tie!
This gave the Class S students waiting for class at the training ground quite a scare!
"What's going on!? Yama Chao is dressed so formally!?"
"Looks like he just came back from someone's wedding?"
"It could also be a funeral..."
Chao Hao saw Wang Tianwei standing in the middle of the formation, looking over curiously from afar, and immediately felt a headache coming on!
The most out-of-line thing he had done since the start of the semester was being just a tiny bit stricter with those three during freshman training...
But their credits had also become the top three in the grade!
Yet, from the very first day, he had been the one taking the blame, whether actively or passively!
Fu Manli actually went to the principal to complain about grooming and appearance! Making him have to pretend for a few days...
Wang Tianwei noticed that Yama Chao had looked at her the moment he arrived, and she immediately stood up ramrod straight!
Jian Jingyu and Huang Yan were a bit careless at first, but they quickly realized their instructor's less-than-stellar expression and reined themselves in a lot.
The next second, Chao Hao's booming voice echoed throughout the entire training ground.
"Stand up straight, all of you!! Don't stand there slouched over like a damn question mark!!!"
"???"
So cranky on a Monday morning?
The Class S students didn't know where their teacher had been provoked this time, but they were already skilled at dealing with it, each and every one straightening their backs!
Yama Chao walked over and loosened his tie. It was obvious that wearing a suit made him feel completely uncomfortable.
"Today's lesson is on etiquette and discipline."
"??"
"Teacher... it's almost the end of the term... are we suddenly focusing on this now?"
Hearing this, Yama Chao couldn't help but glance at Wang Tianwei again. Did they think he wanted to do this!?
At this moment, she was standing straighter than anyone else!
"Cut the crap! If you had paid enough attention normally, we wouldn't have to take an etiquette and discipline class this close to the finals!"
"..."
The entire morning, the Class S students spent their time watching video lessons and practicing their standing, sitting, and walking postures.
Just as class was about to end, Chao Hao dropped a bombshell.
"The final exams will be conducted in a group format. You can form your own teams.
You all know the configuration of a mecha squad. A squad must have at least four people. Submit your rosters to me before the end of this weekend."
By this time, the tie around his neck had disappeared to who knows where... and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone.
After speaking, he thought for a moment and added one more thing.
"This is a grade-wide exam, so you can form teams across different classes. Next semester, our classes will mainly be conducted in a group format."
With that, he walked away, leaving behind a crowd of excited and noisy students.
...I can't even sweat in this outfit. It's so damn annoying! I'd much rather be wearing a military uniform!
