Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Although the dean was shocked and enraged, he could not hide his gratification towards the descendants of his little friend. He quickly collected his emotions and reprimanded the unmoving instructors in the dining hall, "What are you eating for? Hurry up and get moving..."
"Ah..." The instructors were once again stunned by the dean's violent demeanor. Who would have thought that the usually gentle dean would have such a violent moment?
"The rules related to the grand armed melee will be sent to your communicators by the mainframe in a moment," said the dean angrily. The dean stomped his foot anxiously. "Everyone, be prepared for battle. Monitor the entire area. Pay attention to the distress signal sent by the mainframe. At the critical moment, do your best to save them!" Once the fire reached their eyebrows, even the mildest person would fly into a rage. If there really were huge casualties, even he would not be able to handle it.
"Yes! Dean! " Only then did the instructors come to their senses. Once the grand armed melee began, their responsibilities would not be light. While controlling the entire scene, at the critical moment, they would also have to transform into omnipotent superhumans to save the lives of their students.
"D * mmit, what a bunch of troublesome and reckless fellows..." The instructors grumbled, but none of them were dissatisfied. In particular, the 7th grade instructors could not hide their smug expressions, drawing the envy of the other instructors. Who asked them to teach such hot-blooded children?
However, the 10th grade instructors were rather gloomy. Initially, they had not felt that their students were all that bad, but compared to the 7th grade, they felt that the students they had taught were not up to par.
The instructors quickly left the dining hall. In the empty dining hall, the dean seemed to have changed his expression. His initially irritable expression instantly disappeared, and not only that, the corners of his lips were even curled up at a suspicious angle, showing that he was in an extremely good mood.
"Perhaps, these children are the future of the Federation..." The wily dean knew very well what the current children were lacking.
"The grand armed melee... it really came at the right time! Ling Xiao, if your son had a plan and was not acting recklessly, then he would really be amazing... "If he had really seen through this and purposely started the grand armed melee to give the children a chance to awaken, then that would mean that Ling Lan was no longer just a general, but a general of wisdom. If he continued to grow, it was not impossible for him to become a legendary marshal of his generation.
Blood and war were the fertile soil for nurturing true experts! As the elders grew older, they became less and less ruthless in raising their offspring. They would rather choose the safer education methods than let their children take risks. However, in reality, in the past hundred years, the number of people who had successfully advanced to become top-class operators was pitifully low compared to the previous century. Even the appearance of the unparalleled prodigy Ling Xiao could not cover up this fact. Although the education system a hundred years ago was bloody and cruel, outstanding top-class mecha masters emerged one generation after another … The Federation's current status was due to these batches of top-class mecha masters a hundred years ago.
Although the esteemed dean was well aware of their flaws, he did not have the courage to initiate a grand armed melee... unexpectedly, this year's group of 7th grade special class students had helped him make this decision.
At Sunmoon Square in Area N, Ling Lan and the others had already arrived at the scene. At this time, the academy's AI transport robots had already filled Sunmoon Square with bundles of rubber rods. The same was true for the 10th grade's Freedom Square.
All those participating in the grand armed melee, regardless of whether they were active or passive, had all received the relevant rules of the grand armed melee. They knew that in the grand armed melee, they would only have one type of weapon, and that was these rubber rods. If any other weapon was discovered, the person involved would be expelled from the academy on the spot, and 1000 battle points would be deducted. Of course, you could take as many rubber rods as you wanted, as long as you could carry them.
The 7th grade students did not need to be told. They all picked up their own weapons. Some took one, some took two, depending on whether you were proficient in wielding the weapon with one hand or two hands.
Ling Lan took one symbolically. Actually, with Ling Lan's strength, it did not matter whether she took a rubber rod or not. However, since everyone had taken one, she had to adapt to the situation, and not stand out too much.
Just as Ling Lan had thought that she only needed to wait patiently for the grand armed melee to begin, unexpectedly, Zilong and Wu Jiong had joined forces to betray her. Without informing her, they had directly nominated her to be the leader of this grand armed melee, and had her take charge of the overall planning and pre-battle mobilization. According to Wu Jiong, it was Ling Lan who had decided to initiate the grand armed melee, so she would have to take responsibility until the end.
Ling Lan did not shirk her responsibility. She had originally wanted to settle this once and for all, completely resolving the trouble from the upper grades. She stood on the open-air stage of Sunmoon Square and used the loudspeakers there to say, "Everyone says that we 7th grade are crazy, actually initiating a grand armed melee... but are we really crazy?"
"No!" Ling Lan's resolute tone drew the attention of all the 7th grade students.
"After we entered the upper division, every one of us has more or less been bullied by the seniors of the upper grades, even humiliated. In order to graduate safely, there is nothing wrong with choosing to endure. This is also considered the right way to do things. I agree!" Ling Lan's words caused a commotion among the 7th grade students. Since enduring was the right way to do things, then why initiate this grand armed melee?
"But can enduring solve the problem? Neither can it! " Ling Lan's voice instantly turned cold, even concealing her killing intent. "The seniors in the upper grades won't stop just because of your tolerance. In fact, they'll even go from bad to worse, bullying and humiliating you again and again. I believe that everyone has already felt this. Since that's the case, why should we continue to endure? Is it so that we can endure these few years, and then become as detestable as those seniors of the upper grades, and then bully the new juniors for comfort? "
"Could it be that this is the path we want to take?" Ling Lan's gaze was extremely cold, causing all the 7th grade students to shiver in fear, not daring to meet her gaze directly.
"Do you want to or not?" Ling Lan roared, her voice exploding in everyone's ears.
"Don't want to!" Zilong was the first to shout, followed by Wu Jiong and the others. Their shouts grew louder and louder, until finally, everyone joined in, merging into a massive tide of voices, "Don't want to!"
This was the voice of the 7th grade students right now. They had not been bullied to the point of losing their pure hearts, their souls had not been twisted by humiliation. They still had a vigorous fighting spirit, which was why they refused to become detestable themselves.
"Dark history must be ended. Dark legacies should not appear in the cradle of nurturing qualified soldiers. And we, the 7th grade, will be the terminators of this dark legacy... the brave warriors of resistance!"
"Brave warriors! Brave warriors! Brave warriors! " Everyone's blood boiled at Ling Lan's words. That sliver of fear in their hearts also vanished, leaving only battle in everyone's minds!
Ling Lan gestured with her hands, silencing the students below. Then, she continued to speak slowly, "Of course, I do not wish for us to only have brute courage. The wise and the brave must exist at the same time. Therefore, I suggest that all the merit classes and normal classes fight in teams! "
"I do not recommend that you all act alone. Although the grand armed melee is a battle royale, it is extremely suitable for teamwork. I do not wish to see anyone among us 7th grade lose. Don't forget, you have your brothers, your sisters, your companions, your comrades by your side. You are not fighting alone!"
These words received the agreement of all the 7th grade students. Everyone turned to look at their good friends and teammates, deciding to fight together with their companions to the end!
"Also, don't forget to read the rules of the grand armed melee. When you encounter a Special Class-A student, press the surrender button or ask for help... admitting defeat is not shameful. Only by staying alive will there be hope!" Ling Lan used her spiritual power to engrave her last sentence deeply into the hearts of everyone present. At this critical moment, they would not be so impulsive that they would want to perish together with the enemy. However, with just this one move, Ling Lan's immense spiritual power was completely drained, and her head began to throb with pain.
After saying this, Ling Lan retreated, leaving her spot to Wu Jiong and Zilong. She indicated for Luo Lang and Lin Zhong-qing to cover her, and then sat down in a corner to close her eyes and rest.
"Boss, how could you be so reckless?" In the mindspace, Little Four was extremely dissatisfied with Ling Lan's actions this time.
"Got it. Just this once. I'm going to recuperate first. Help me monitor the entire scene." Ling Lan did not retort, but she did not regret her decision. Initiating the grand armed melee was to give all the 7th graders a chance to become stronger, not to let them wither away here.
After giving Little Four her instructions, Ling Lan began to cultivate her spiritual power in peace. Compared to Luo Lang and Lin Zhong-qing, she trusted Little Four's monitoring more. Wherever the mainframe could monitor, Little Four could also monitor, and it would not be discovered by the mainframe.
Time passed very quickly, and soon an hour had passed. Under the arrangements of Wu Jiong, Zilong, and the others, the 7th graders in Sunmoon Square had already dispersed quickly to hide themselves throughout the entire academy.
The grand armed melee was a form of battle where students hunted each other down. Other than the dormitory area, the rest of the academy was their hunting ground. Even though there were close to 20,000 people between the two grades, when they were scattered all over the Central Scout Academy, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, not causing the slightest ripple.
In the end, Wu Jiong's team also bid farewell to Ling Lan and the others and left, leaving only Ling Lan's team in the entire Sunmoon Square. At this moment, the mainframe's announcement once again rang out in the academy:
"7th Year vs 10th Year, the grand armed melee will begin after the countdown. Duration: 24 hours. Outcome: 40% of the grade's remaining members; 60% of the battle points! Current numbers: 9212 to 9374! Points: 0 to 0. Beginning countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1, the grand armed melee officially begins! "
After the mainframe announced the start of the grand armed melee, the dormitory area was immediately surrounded by a circular ring of light. Several 10th grade students waiting by the side of the dormitory area were extremely surprised when they saw this. They tentatively tried to enter the dormitory area, but were repelled back by a powerful force.
