Chapter 44: Return

Translator: Abyssruler  Editor: Lucas

Unknowingly, the distance between the two had shrunk. It has to be said that Wang Zheng used to be tormented by Bonehead. In fact, because of Bonehead, Wang Zheng felt a slight aversion to beautiful girls. In his mind, Wang Zheng conjured up an image of Bonehead wearing makeup so as to help himself focus and not be distracted.

However, a beautiful girl was still a beautiful girl regardless.

Meng Tian had an amazing body, and there was nothing wrong with her features. She had flawless, snow-white skin, and other than her cold personality, she was truly a beauty that anyone would fall in love with at first sight.

Even if Wang Zheng was slow to react, he would eventually succumb to the other party’s charm.

However, by the time, Wang Zheng could feel it. Meng Tian hurriedly stood up. “I’m going to go first. I will help your friend pass the letter to An Mei. Don’t worry about it.”

After reassuring Wang Zheng, she rushed towards the female changing rooms. Even Wang Zheng could feel that her heart was clearly quite flustered.

Dear Student Wang rubbed his nose. Was he that scary?

To the students of Ares College, the upcoming month would definitely be the most exciting one by far.

Firstly, it was an event between the three military colleges. This year it would be held in Ares College, and it was rare that there would be a full confrontation with blood boiling battles! It was something everyone looked forward to!

The students of Ares College were particularly excited as this year’s freshmen included Masasi and Carl. Because of these two extraordinary individuals, Ares College’s team’s strength had improved explosively. There was a good chance that they would be able to realize Old Third’s ten-thousand-year destiny.

The second and also most important thing was that Lin Huiyin would be performing a concert in Beijing.

In the entire Solar System, she only chose to perform on Earth and specifically in Beijing.

This caused all of her numerous fans to be extremely excited. Of course, the fans included the three in the dormitory and Wang Zheng’s best buddy, Yan Xiaosu.

To the princeling Student Yan, he would spare no expense to grab a ticket.

However, up till now, only news of the concert was made available. Ticketing had yet to start, but the fans would inevitably be waiting anxiously.

However, the problem was that Lin Huiyin was just too popular. Although the younger generation was full of rebellious individuals, Huiyin’s sweet princess image had captivated countless hearts. Everyone aspired to be a badass while hoping others were just quiet individuals who wouldn’t dare to stand out. The new song was one that had a very gallant style to it. For Lin Huiyin’s previous concerts, the venues were typically bursting with people. This time, the concert would be in Beijing with the headlining song being NOT AFRAID.

It was rumored that the inspiration for the song had come from Earth.

Students loved to engage in bustling activity, and this exciting festival was no exception.

Yan Xiaosu happily called Wang Zheng on his Skylink, telling him that An Mei had agreed to his invitation.

After merely meeting once, it seemed as though An Mei was quite different from Yue Jing. Even if his confession was unsuccessful, it was unlikely that she would put him on the spot.

For the purpose of this prestigious interschool event, the school had to pick out outstanding talent to compete against the other schools. Despite an equal number of spots allocated for freshmen and seniors, the main point of the exchange was to test the freshmen’s talent.

Masasi and Carl were both freshmen but were without a doubt part of the main force. Wang Zheng was picked as the substitute for the team. Although Wang Zheng’s military training wasn’t bad, a training exercise could not be considered sufficient experience, because a real battle was a completely different situation.

The other two had often experienced such competitions, and as such, selecting them was to be expected. But for someone without prior battle experience, being selected as a substitute was already very shocking.

Other than him, Zhang Shan was selected as another substitute.

The two of them were representatives from the Physics Department, which was also the first time something like this had happened.

Captain: Ma Xiao

Official Members: Jiang Bin, Masasi, Carl, Meng Tian

Substitutes: Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan, Guan Tao

The individuals who were chosen for this event every year would have special attention paid to them by the school. This year’s event was even more lively as Masasi and Carl’s strength had given the school a hope for victory.

Even though Ma Xiao was considered an expert, a lone hero could not hold back a pack of wolves; his individual ability was not sufficient to allow him to dominate the competition.

With Masasi and Carl assisting him, Ma Xiao felt his confidence increase. Especially since he had personally tested the two’s battle capabilities, he had felt extremely confident. The remaining time left for training was meant to improve the team’s ability to work together, as well as for personal training to ensure that the team would compete in peak physical condition.

Guan Tao was originally in the official line up, but he was replaced by Meng Tian. However, this was expected as the tournament was originally intended for the freshmen. Furthermore, when Guan Tao had competed with Meng Tian, he had lost three times in a row! Ma Xiao had to make a decision.

As Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan showed excellent performance during military training, they were chosen as the substitutes of the team. Such a line up was already sufficient.

The training lasted from 7 PM to 9 PM every night with Teacher Zhuo Mu from the Mecha Department supervising.

Zhuo Mu had graduated from Ares College and was the trump card of the Army. However, as he had lost one of his legs in a battle, he retired as a battle instructor. He was a teacher with a unique “personality,” and in truth he was quite cruel. He would fly into a terrible rage whenever someone failed, and this often resulted in the school receiving numerous complaints. However, he had suppressed the complaints with his own abilities. Yet, the fact was that if results could not be produced, it would be hard to say if he could continue to stay in the school.

Guan Tao whispered, “One has to be calm to deal with Steel Leg Zhuo. Regardless of what he says, just imagine he’s just making fart noises.”

Guan Tao was quite close to the rest with the exception of Ma Xiao and Jiang Bin. Zhang Shan was in a festive mood; with Wang Zheng together with him, Zhang Shan treated the training regime as an excursion with a buddy.

After half an hour, Zhuo Mu finally hobbled his way into the classroom. One of his legs was fitted with a steel prosthetic and his footsteps were uneven, clinking as he walked along.

Zhuo Mu scoffed at the eight of them before looking at Ma Xiao. “Why are you still here? Looks like Ares College is lacking people.”

Ma Xiao looked embarrassed. He was in his 4th year and by right should not be eligible for the interschool competition. However, it was unavoidable as Ares College was severely lacking in experts.

With regards to Jiang Bin and Guan Tao, Zhuo Mu completely ignored the two of them. However, Jiang Bin and Guan Tao did not take offense at his treatment of them; they had long become used to his attitude.

.

Using Steel Leg Zhuo’s own words, “Crop after crop, disappointment year after year.”

“I suppose you two are the ones not from Earth. I heard your strength isn’t bad. However. this is Ares College’s fight! Are you willing to participate on behalf of Ares College?” asked Steel Leg Zhuo.

Carl grinned arrogantly. “Competing casually will be enough! What is the point of being serious for such a small-time competition?”

Steel Leg Zhuo then turned to Masasi. “Do you feel the same way?”

“I am currently a student of Ares College. Naturally I will put in all my effort to fight for Ares College. You can rest assured about this, Teacher,” replied Masasi.

Zhuo Mu nodded his head before pointing at Carl. “You. You can leave now.”

Carl stared blankly. “Hey, you old bastard, did you make a mistake? Did you just ask me to leave?”

“If you don’t want to leave, I can throw you out myself,” replied Zhuo Mu nonchalantly.

“You old bastard, do you think I wouldn’t dare to hit you?!”

After saying that, Carl immediately rushed towards Zhuo Mu, but Zhuo Mu just lifted his leg.

Bang!

Carl screamed in pain. Bitch! That was alloyed metal! If a normal limb was to collide with it…

Zhuo Mu had indeed thrown Carl out of the doorway before closing the door. The room had seven people left. Ma Xiao and the rest looked at each other. They were doomed! Carl was one of their key members! Without him, the team had basically lost half of its fighting strength.

“I don’t oppose anyone becoming a hero. However, one has to have a sense of team honor. Regardless of where you might come from, since you are a student of Ares College, you have to fight for your college’s glory. With regards to anything else, you can talk about it after this.”

After Zhuo Mu finished speaking, he icily stared at the group in front of him. “Meng Tian, I don’t care about your background. In the team, there will be no gender separation. Are you sure you want to join in our training?”

“Yes, Teacher!” Meng Tian replied without hesitation.

“How are there two brats from the Physics Department?”

“Teacher Zhuo, although I might be from the Physics Department, I have the heart of one from the Mecha Department!” replied Zhang Shan. This bastard was literally stealing his lines.

“I am willing to fight for the college,” replied Wang Zheng.

“Excellent, we can head out. Follow me.”

The group followed him outside to realize… there was a space shuttle awaiting them. What was he trying to do?

Wasn’t it a nightly training from 7 PM to 9 PM?

Wasn’t he going to follow established practices?

Ma Xiao had a bad feeling about it. Although they did previously mention that they would be doing the real thing, could it be that they would start immediately…

After that event, Carl immediately left the college and returned to Mars. Although the principal had tried his best to get him to stay, he was unable to change Carl’s mind.

Frankly, ever since Carl had arrived on Earth, he was looking for an opportunity to leave. He was unable to find an opportunity to properly compete with Masasi, as his rival was simply uninterested. Furthermore, the atmosphere was unsuitable for Carl.

It was perfect that he could use this situation as an excuse to leave. To Ares College, losing him was a terrible situation, especially since Carl’s mech piloting abilities were quite decent.

Although Wang Zheng and the rest were taken away, their course materials were recorded in the form of videos for them to slowly catch up when time was available.

Back in the dormitory 007, Chen Xiu, Yao Ailun, and Yan Xiaosu were anxiously taking care of their Skeleton Corps.

The three of them were extremely active; Chen Xiu even frequently answered questions and guided noobs.

Especially when it came to theoretical knowledge, he was exceptionally proficient in it.

“Brother Xiu, I used to learn from high-level battle videos, but I would still lose pitifully. However, ever since I started watching Skeleton God’s battle videos… I have been losing even more pitifully than before!” asked Player I Must Become A God.

Chen Xiu was stunned. “What have you been using?”

“Of course the Wargod No. 1. It’s such an all rounded mech that it is essential for becoming a god!”

Without waiting for Chen Xiu’s reply, the audience burst into raucous laughter. This funny bastard.

Chen Xiu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “When things are going your way, you might be able to win. However, one’s ability to battle comes from learning from experience. Other than having the skills to do so, one must practice often to achieve success.”

“Now we will commence the third mech analysis lesson. The Model 3 Ice Racer mech’s specialty lies in…”

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun’s mech analysis had improved significantly. It covered both the strengths and weaknesses of the mech and also included replays of high level battles involving the mech.

They hoped that one day, the Wargod No. 1 would be able to compete with the high level mechs.

As of now, even Wang Zheng did not know where he had been shipped to. It looked like he had been brought to a military barracks.

Steel Leg Zhuo seemed extremely familiar with the place. Valiant soldiers could be seen all around, and the group of them looked like innocent lambs in comparison.

“F*ck. Where is this place? It seems so dark and foreboding.” Zhang Shan frowned. He felt that the situation was not looking very positive. Zhang Shan was starting to regret his decision. He was a genius of the Physics Department, so he should have been enjoying life with beautiful women, but instead he was here.

“Do you know where we are, Seniors?” asked Masasi.

Ma Xiao shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t ask me; this is also my first time here. We will have to adapt to the situation. Looks like the old bastard is playing for keeps this time.”

With the memory of the previous military training, everyone snapped to attention. However, this time things were different; there was nothing here. Furthermore, everyone was given their own room.

“Comprehensive training starts tomorrow. Rest well tonight, as you will get no further chance to do so,” said Zhuo Mu as he walked away. How could someone sleep peacefully after hearing such words?
