Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan carefully controlled her body temperature. At this moment, she was rather thankful that her innate talent was Ice Affinity, which could make her body temperature equal to the surrounding environment, or even colder. If she did not have this ability, her only choice now would have been to exit the passageway immediately.
"Eh?" A surprised voice suddenly rang out from behind the metal door. This made Ling Lan jump in fright, almost thinking that she had been discovered.
The surprised voice was even louder than the other's earlier words. Ling Lan knew that the other must have used their mecha's voice amplifier to make it easier for the other mecha operators present to hear them. This was the reality of not having Little Four as a cheat. If one was not a member of a battle clan, they would not be able to use the special communication channel that the battle clan had applied for. This also proved that these people were not from the same battle clan.
"Regiment Commander, what's wrong?" Hearing this surprised voice, the movements of everyone inside could not help but slow down. Soon, someone spoke up to ask.
"I've noticed that quite a number of people have come to the advanced mecha area ahead. Quite a number of mecha have already been activated," replied the regiment commander. It looked like having successfully activated his ace mecha, he had sensed the situation inside the mecha storehouse after being alerted by his mecha's A.I..
"They actually have the same idea as us? Looks like quite a few people have the same judgment as the regiment commander, not optimistic about the outcome of this battle, "said someone suddenly with a sigh.
"There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the military academy. It's not surprising that there are people who have the same opinion as me," replied the regiment commander indifferently. The explanation of the person beside him had greatly reduced his curiosity. Furthermore, those people were only in the mecha storehouse area — at most, they were only in the advanced mecha area. It could be imagined that these people were not people with very high mecha levels. If they had already entered special-class operator status, they should have found this place by now.
At this thought, the regiment commander tossed the scene he had seen to the back of his mind. He paused for a moment, and then asked the people present, "Are you all ready? If everything is ready, I will open the ejection passageway here. "
"Regiment Commander, I'm OK!"
"Regiment Commander, I'm OK."
"Regiment Commander, everything is ready."
Very soon, a cacophony of replies came from inside. Seeing that everyone was OK, the regiment commander opened the ejection passageway.
Ling Lan sensed that the regiment commander's attention was no longer on them, so she quietly asked Little Four if he could report the situation inside. Little Four said that there was no problem — with Ling Lan's present day, Ling Ling Lan's Editor, It was sufficient Little Little Little Four said that there was no problem with it. With Little Ling, Ling Lan's spiritual power was was was enough to support Ru Editor's Amambush. Not long after, the scene inside was displayed in Ling Lan's mindspace.

She could be sure that in the entire military academy, there were actually not that many students who had reached special-class operator level. Based on the allocation of one mecha per person, there were only 160 or so people. Moreover, the military academy would naturally have more mecha in reserve. Otherwise, if someone suddenly advanced to special-class operator without a special-class mecha to match, then the name of the First Men's Military Academy would really become a joke.
By now, Ling Lan knew that these black mecha that were different from the standard mecha of the Federation were actually the special-class mecha of the Federation. Once a mecha entered special-class, the mecha would begin to show individuality. This was all because the operator's control skills would gradually move from the original set of movements to the individual's own individuality. However, this type of control just happened to be immature. Because normal advanced mecha only accepted set orders, they were unable to meet the operator's individuality requirements. However, because ace mecha were too individualistic, special-class operators who had just stepped into individuality were unable to control them.
Under these circumstances, in order to let these excellent control seedlings successfully break through to ace operator level, the Federation had finally created these special-class mecha that was between advanced mecha and ace mecha after several generations of painstaking research and design. Thus, special-class mecha did not completely break away from the scope of standard mecha, but at the same time, they also possessed some of the individuality characteristics of ace mecha.
Back when Ling Lan had been assassinated when she was 6 years old, that team of black mecha that had appeared to help her was actually the Federation's special-class mecha battle team. However, even now, Ling Lan still had not found out who had helped her.
Seeing these tall and mighty mecha, Ling Lan understood why the secret storehouse needed to have ejection tunnels. The tunnel she had entered did not have enough height and space for these mecha to walk out.
Of course, what made Ling Lan drool was not these mecha, but the row of mecha facing the metal door. There were only five mecha in total. Each mecha looked different, each possessing their own individuality. One of the mecha had already been activated by someone, walking out of its original fixed deck.
Ling Lan saw a high-powered laser gun about two-thirds of the mecha's height and a standard beam gun hanging behind that mecha. She knew that this mecha's capabilities were focused on long-range attacks.
Meanwhile, the ejection port the other had mentioned was just to the right of the metal door. There was a circular tunnel there, enough space to accommodate four mecha inside. Right now, the door to the passageway had already been opened. The special-class mecha standing at the very front walked in, and the passageway was quickly closed. When the three warning lights on the door all lit up green, a dull sound could be heard...
"Boom!" Ling Lan could feel a strong vibration coming from where she was standing. Then, she saw the mecha in the ejection port being propelled upwards by a strong force, leaping tens of metres in an instant. In that instant, the mecha's engines roared to life. Using the force of the ejection and the explosive power of the engines, the mecha instantly flew out of the tunnel and into the air above the military academy...
The Leiting members looked like they were already familiar with this ejection mechanism. One by one, they stepped into the tunnel and were sent flying out. Last was the regiment commander piloting the ace mecha. Recalling the rumours she had heard some time ago, Ling Lan was certain that this regiment commander must be Thunder King Qiao Ting, who had successfully advanced to ace level.
For some reason, just as the automatic door was about to close after Qiao Ting entered the tunnel, the head of his mecha suddenly turned to look in the direction of the metal door. This unexpected action startled Ling Lan. Could it be that the other had discovered her?
Very quickly, the automatic door closed, and the figure of that mecha could no longer be seen. Sure enough, several seconds later, Qiao Ting was sent flying out of the tunnel just like the other special-class operators. Only then did Ling Lan relax.
However, to ensure her safety, Ling Lan still waited quietly for about a minute before approaching the metal door. Under Little Four's inspection, they found that the electrical system of this metal door had not been damaged. Perhaps it was because the other was afraid of damaging the power system inside and affecting the ejection port's ejection mechanism, so they had not used brute force to destroy it, instead choosing to enter normally.
As long as the system was working normally, Ling Lan, who had the cheat of Little Four, walked in easily. When she passed by the special-class mecha, she was somewhat regretful that none of the members of the New Cadet Regiment had reached special-class operator. She suddenly thought of that special-class operator friend of Leopard's — if he had joined her team, he would have been able to come over and operate these mecha.
Ling Lan's goal naturally could not be these special-class mecha. Her goal was those few ace mecha. In the real world, being able to truly operate an ace mecha was something Ling Lan had always dreamed of. Back on planet Demonbeast, the mecha Ling Lan had operated was actually not an ace mecha, but a special-class mecha.
This was because in the military, special-class mecha were also known as ace mecha, just with the addition of a 'secondary' or 'reserve'. Meanwhile, the three ace mecha she had defeated back then had all been special-class operators from Twilight. After going through a period of baptism by war, they had gradually perfected and formed their own style of operating techniques, and thus were able to officially advance to ace operator status. This was also why they were known as ace reserve operators by the ground service forces.
It should be said that Ling Lan was very lucky that she had not encountered a true ace operator. Otherwise, with her newly formed operating style, it would have been very difficult for her to win even against a battle-hardened ace operator, not to mention three mecha at the same time.
Because Qiao Ting had driven away one of the ace mecha, Ling Lan could not take her eyes off the remaining four mecha. She was abnormally excited.
The mecha on the far left, other than being humanoid like the other mecha, had two diagonal wings on its back. According to Ling Lan's knowledge, this should be a transformational mecha. In other words, it would become a humanoid mecha in close combat, and when attacking from a distance, it would become a flying mecha. It could be considered a relatively balanced mecha.
This type of mecha's specialty was its speed. No other mecha could compare to it in terms of speed. In close combat, it also used speed as a means of attack. However, the best way to show off its speed was when it was in flying mode. At that time, once it went all out and activated its speed, it would be able to instantly pull away or close the distance between itself and its opponent.
This would ensure that the opponent would not be able to shake off the mecha whether it was in close combat or long range. At the same time, this type of speed was also a means of self-protection. The moment the mecha fell into a disadvantageous position, it would be able to pull away and escape the opponent's attack range. If a normal mecha encountered this type of mecha, they would not even have a chance to retaliate before being destroyed. As for long-range attack range, unless it was that humanoid mecha that Qiao Ting had driven away which specialized in long-range attacks, only the bestial mecha known as the King of Land Battles might be able to gain a slight advantage.
The second mecha was the one mentioned earlier. In terms of long-range attack range, it might be able to suppress a transformational ace mecha, the King of Land Battles, the bestial ace mecha.
