On the screen, the door at the back of the mecha combat room opened, and a black M-prototype mecha appeared. Countless gazes in Pear Blossom University's gymnasium turned towards it. Amidst their shock, the cheers of the students shook the heavens. They were not sure when their own school had mecha, and neither did they know who was inside the black mecha. However, they believed that this black mecha had stood up bravely for the honour of Pear Blossom University. Facing that arrogant idiot from the First Military Academy, just this point alone was enough for them to stop thinking about anything else. All they could do was dedicate their cheers and excited footsteps to that black mecha.
And when that black mecha used a method no one had expected to kick down the blue-black mecha, followed by a series of clumsy and persistent punches, until finally the system determined the black mecha to be the victor... the atmosphere in the gymnasium reached an even more terrifying level. On the contrary, the cheers were much quieter now, because everyone was so shocked by this scene that they were almost speechless. Stars began to appear in the eyes of the female students, while the male students gaped, staring at the screen in disbelief. Meanwhile, the rostrum was filled with a deathly silence.
The representative representative of the First Military Academy's exchange visiting team, Professor Qiang, stood up abruptly and stared at the screen with a face full of shock. After a long while, he finally regained his senses and turned to ask the principal of Pear Blossom University beside him, "What's going on?"
Other than the military academies, most universities would not have any systematic knowledge related to mecha. Although Pear Blossom University had some reputation in this area, this university did not have a motorized department, so how could they possibly have a mecha? And that student operating the mecha had actually defeated his own student! Although the combat strategy of the black mecha seemed rather underhanded in Professor Qiong's opinion, his doubts and shock made him unable to care about anything else. He stared fixedly at the unknown, wanting to understand how a university in society could have such a problem with mecha.
"It's just a prototype." The principal of Pear Blossom University smiled and said, "This was specially approved by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of National Defence over 20 years ago."
"Then... who's the student operating the mecha?" Agitated, Professor Qiong quickly asked, "You should know very well that the Federation's laws clearly state that non-military personnel are not allowed to touch combat mechas."
Principal Cong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but soon after, he smiled warmly and said, "Dean Qin sent you all here to conduct a mecha show. Those military officers probably don't understand the reason, but you should be able to guess one thing … our Li Hua Academy doesn't have a mecha faculty, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a mecha training ground. As for the identity of the person in the black mecha … I think that neither the Ministry of Defense nor the President's Security Committee will have any objections to him touching mecha."
Professor Qiang was taken aback for a moment, but gradually thought of a possibility. He turned his head in shock to look at the dazed black mecha on the screen and said in a trembling voice, "With his identity, how could he choose to appear in front of so many people?"
"Don't forget, he is now our Li Hua's student." The principal of Pear Blossom University continued to smile and said calmly, "Since a student from First Academy is here to visit and challenge Li Hua Academy, and he is willing to come out and fight for Li Hua Academy's reputation, I can't stop him, right?"
Professor Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face. If the person in the black mecha was really that noble young man, then the First Military Academy's reputation would really be lost today. It seemed that the madam and the young man didn't like First Academy's plan to embarrass Li Hua Academy and take back the right to educate the successor of the Tai family.
The principal of Pear Blossom University noticed the bitter expression on Professor Qiong's face. He felt as if he had just eaten a piece of wild boar meat, but his face didn't show any expression. He looked at the black mecha on the screen and was secretly grateful to the disciple of his old friend for being willing to fight for Li Hua Academy's reputation.
Yes, the principal of Pear Blossom University looked mysterious because he thought that the person in the black mecha was Tai Zhiyuan. If it was the successor of the Tai family fighting as a student of Li Hua Academy, then the First Military Academy could only swallow their broken teeth. Principal Cong naturally didn't have anything to worry about.
This principal, who was busy with work, didn't know that Tai Zhiyuan wasn't the only one who could enter the H1 area of this university. There was also a small gatekeeper that he had noticed before.
The shock in the comprehensive library was replaced by cheers. The members of the First Military Academy's visiting team on the rostrum had ugly expressions on their faces. At this moment, the situation on the screen changed again. The blue-black mecha was lifted up and left, while a silver mecha coldly appeared on the field.
The black mecha that was preparing to leave was stunned. Then, it turned around clumsily and faced the opponent.
When the students in the comprehensive library saw this scene, they knew that the proud officers of the First Military Academy were preparing to issue another challenge. They all held their breaths.
Principal Cong frowned slightly and looked at Professor Qiong. He said, "Is it Zhou Yu? If he injures or enrages the person in the black mecha, do you think it's appropriate? "
Professor Qiong looked silently at the screen and suddenly said, "Previously, we were just fighting for his performance. Now, it's the students who want to protect the reputation of the first school. Under this kind of premise, I won't stop it, nor am I willing to stop it. I believe that young man should understand that each school has its own pride."
Principal Cong didn't say anything. He just looked at the black mecha and smiled slightly.

Xu Le knew that the principal and the upper echelons of the First Military Academy were now treating him as the heir of the incomparably mysterious and noble Tai family. As usual, he silently finished the battle and then prepared to leave. Right now, he didn't feel too happy. He hadn't even completely vented all the negative emotions that had accumulated over the past few days.
This young man was very sensitive and cautious at certain moments, but at other moments, he was a little muddle-headed. For example, right now, he kept thinking that he had just taken a short nap in the mecha. Right now, it was at most four or five in the morning. He kept thinking that this was just a warm-up exercise for the visiting students of the First Military Academy and that there were no bystanders …
But he didn't know that right now, it was already 10: 30 in the morning. Everything that had happened earlier had been seen by countless pairs of eyes and surveillance equipment. He didn't know that right now, Ewha University had already become a sea of surprise because of his appearance, and he didn't know that right now, those excited students were all guessing who would be able to defeat the top student of the First Military Academy. He had already become a hero of Ewha University, and a hero of the lonely and callous type …
He didn't know anything about what was going on outside. He only felt that since the blue-black mecha was a rookie who was even worse than him, defeating the other really didn't count as much. He was still that pitiful fellow who could only last for ten seconds at Level 6. He had won by luck — what was there to be happy about? After all, he was just a lovelorn youth whose mood was still gloomy.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, the system once again rang out with a synthetic voice. It was very clear, "Request for battle training. Do you accept?"
Xu Le turned his head in surprise. The black mecha turned its head around clumsily, and then saw an exceptionally valuable mecha glowing with a silver light appear at the entrance to the combat room. It was still an M37, but there seemed to be some changes in its specific structure. He frowned and looked at the mecha that had issued the battle request through the holographic screen. His mood was very complicated. "Could it be that these visiting officer students from the First Military Academy also want to play a tag-team battle?"
He was exceptionally clear about his own mecha piloting skills, so clear that he had underestimated them somewhat in frustration. Looking at the steady and smooth trajectory of that silver mecha's advance, he subconsciously thought that he should not be a match for the other. However, whether or not he was a match was not the main point of Xu Le's consideration right then. What he was thinking about was how to vent the gloominess in his heart — it didn't seem to matter even if he was beaten up by the other. This was not self-abuse — it was just the subconscious reaction of a young man with an ordinary personality.
After accepting the battle request, he operated his black mecha and walked somewhat woodenly towards that silver mecha.
…
…
"That should be Zhou Yu in there. I heard that his younger brother went to the West Woods Military Academy because he couldn't accept his older brother's excellence." Sitting on the sofa in the small villa, Tai Zhiyuan's expression was rather strange. He naturally knew that this performance by the First Military Academy was meant to be a show for him to see, but he had not expected that things would develop to this point.
He took a light sip of the champagne in his thin glass and looked at the image on the holographic screen with a half-smile. He muttered to himself, "Xu Le, you're in for it this time."
The heir of the Tai family and Xu Le would battle every night in the virtual system, so he was naturally very clear about Xu Le's true strength. In his opinion, Xu Le had been able to defeat that blue-black mecha in large part because of Xu Le's trickery and that idiot's underestimation of his opponent. And now, since Zhou Yu was personally piloting the silver mecha into battle, what awaited Xu Le could only be an incomparably tragic end.
The mecha battle began. Just as Tai Zhiyuan had predicted, the black mecha Xu Le was piloting could not even hold up for an instant before that silver mecha. It was like a weed in a storm, swaying incessantly under the precise attacks, an existence that could fall to the ground at any time.
With a muffled sound, the black mecha's translucent cockpit door was accurately struck by an alloy fist. Xu Le was stifled by the powerful shockwaves. He stared somewhat blankly at the data displayed on the holographic screen and found that he had no way of avoiding the opponent's attack. Whether it was in terms of speed or control detail, he was on a completely different level from the opponent.
It looks like I can only lose, Xu Le thought with some boredom. His fingers continued to rapidly input commands, allowing the black mecha to avoid some critical damage. His eyes stared at that god-like silver mecha, filled with a sense of defeat and … unwillingness.
