The seemingly clumsy black mecha suddenly froze in its running path. The silver mecha that had followed it like a shadow did not let go of this opportunity. It slammed into the side of the black mecha, converting all the movement that the high energy battery had given it into impact force.
The collision of the alloy surfaces caused a very loud metallic sound to ring out in the combat room. Following the sound, the black mecha was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the solid wall. Although it did not shatter into pieces like a real kite, the structural fasteners and joints all made a whining sound as they moved, hissing as if they were about to stop working at any moment.
The black mecha slid along the wall. Several parts of the alloy surface that had been damaged scraped against the wall, making a screeching sound that made one's teeth ache. At the same time, several fresh marks were left on the wall. In the end, it fell heavily to the ground, powerless.
The power of the silver mecha's previous attack was fully displayed in this image.
The cheers in Ewha University's gymnasium had long since stopped, starting from the moment the mecha battle training started again. Then, following the continuous defeat of the black mecha, even the discussions about who was in the black mecha and the introduction of the most outstanding officer in the First Military Academy's silver mecha, Zhou Yu... gradually stopped. When the black mecha slammed into the wall and slid down, countless people fell into the most complete silence at the same time. They watched the image on the screen with unusually complicated feelings.
At this time, the rostrum had long since quieted down. The professors and officials of the two universities watched the screen quietly. Ewha University, who did not know the inside story, had regretful expressions on their faces. They did not know which department this black mecha operator was from, and did not expect him to be able to consecutively defeat two strong people from the same department. However, there was still some hope, and now it became disappointment and worry amidst that disappointment. The expressions of the First Military Academy's side were much more relaxed than when Anda had been beaten up, but there was no smug expression on their faces. This was because, in their eyes, Officer Zhou Yu, this young man who even the instructor of the mecha department had not been able to easily win, should have won easily.
The principal and Professor Chuang, who thought they knew the inside story, who represented the two universities, had a completely different feeling from the rest. Professor Chuang knew that the honor of the No.1 Hospital had been preserved, but the heir of the Tai family might not agree to transfer back to the No.1 Hospital. Thinking about the dean's instructions, he did not feel happy at all. On the other hand, Principal Cong was looking at the hologram with a smile. He thought to himself, 'With that young man's gentle appearance and arrogant personality, he should be able to clearly understand that if it wasn't because the training conditions in the H1 Area were not as good as the First Academy's, he would definitely work very hard this year in Ewha University.'
In the silent general gymnasium, everyone stared at the black mecha that was trying to stand up again on the screen. While the system had yet to announce the victor, this battle that seemed to have a great disparity in strength was not over yet. Everyone knew that the black mecha was no match for the silver mecha, but seeing that the black mecha showed no signs of surrendering, they could not help but be a little moved.
No one knew who started it, but a very rhythmic applause suddenly rang out in the general gymnasium. At first, the sound was very soft, but later on, it attracted more people to join in. The applause gradually grew louder and louder until it was as deafening as a thunderstorm. Then, it found the same rhythm, and the sound of the rain became the sound of drums. Pa pa pa pa pa, the sound echoed throughout the general gymnasium, cheering for the black mecha that represented Ewha University and even the entire university town.
In a corner of the spectator stand, the son of the Linhai State Representative, Hai Qingzhou, was clapping excitedly, his palms already red. Beside him, the naked Zhang Xiaomeng was looking at the hologram seriously, guessing the identity of the person in the black mecha. Although she was also a little worried for the black mecha, she was more calm than anything else.
She believed in non-violence and belonged to the moderate side of the Federation's opposition. However, they were still part of the same system. When she was in S2, she had come into contact with a lot of information about the battles between the Federal Army and the Anti-Government Army. She knew that those mechas had mercilessly torn apart the bodies of those passionate and hot-blooded young Anti-Government Army soldiers. When she saw the mechas, those bloody videos and pictures would appear before her eyes. In her heart, she had an innate disgust towards mecha battles.
These emotions only flashed by, and Zhang Xiaomeng once again fell into her usual dazed state. Her eyes stared at the hologram, but she didn't know where her thoughts had run off to. Perhaps it was wild flowers, perhaps it was plain porridge, perhaps it was snow, or perhaps it was rain. Who knew?
How could this naive and incompetent female spy know that the source of everything she was thinking about right now was actually on the hologram, right in front of her eyes. It was just that it was blocked by the exterior of the mecha.
…
…
The applause that made people's blood boil like the beating of a drum, and even gave birth to a somewhat tragic feeling, fell into Shi Qinghai's ears. However, it only made the corner of his lips curl up into a mocking curve. He leaned against the wall of the tunnel at the very bottom of the viewing platform, raising his head to look at the hologram on the dome of the comprehensive gymnasium. He thought to himself with slight ridicule, The students were indeed a bunch of idiots with nothing but hot-bloodedness. Even that interesting fellow Xu Le had once displayed such stubbornness at the entrance of the nightclub.
The cigarette ash between his fingers fell to the ground. Shi Qinghai closed his eyes, not noticing that the cigarette was about to burn his fingers. He replayed the previous attack from the silver mecha in his mind, confirming that even if the black mecha stood up again with incomparable strength, in front of Zhou Yu, it could only fall down once more. The intelligence should be correct. Other than that crown prince, no one else could enter Ewha University's H1 area, which had never been made public to the public. The person sitting in the black prototype M mecha should be the target.
It looked like that crown prince didn't have much talent in this area, but his temperament was still considered upright. Shi Qinghai opened his eyes, somewhat vexed as he thought to himself. If this crown prince was really the successor of the Tai family like the intelligence he had received from the organization a few days ago, why was he also so hot-blooded? The hot-bloodedness of such a big shot in his youth was definitely not good news for the anti-government forces he served.
…
…
Sitting on the sofa, Tai Zhiyuan was holding a cup of coffee. He wasn't the least bit surprised by the black mecha's performance. After so many days of interaction, he already knew that Xu Le had this kind of personality, and right now, he was the only one who knew who was inside the black mecha. He lightly shook his head, knowing that even if Xu Le regained control of the mecha, under the next wave of attacks from the silver mecha, he could only hold on for six seconds at most.
Because the one sitting in the silver mecha was Zhou Yu, the one who the Tai family had been secretly observing for four years, the one who was destined to become one of their staff members in the future. Tai Zhiyuan raised his coffee cup to toast Xu Le's failure, smiling.
…
…
The intelligent design of the Federation's scientists allowed the operator in the mecha to minimize the impact of external impacts. That was why Xu Le had not fainted in the black mecha's cockpit. But right now, he felt terrible. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to stop himself from vomiting, and his vision finally cleared.
He smiled wryly, subconsciously wiping his lips, and then his hands began to operate the mecha again, trying to get the black mecha to stand up.
The lovelorn youth wanted to use a random battle, or perhaps be abused to vent the frustration and frustration in his heart that he had no one to talk to. He had already predicted the outcome of failure, and had even vaguely looked forward to being beaten up. However, when he actually began to fail, he found himself like a child in front of that silver mecha, unable to fight back at all. Xu Le subconsciously felt resentful. This was due to his personality. Having grown up alone, he possessed the tenacity, optimism, and unwillingness to admit defeat unique to Donglin people. He had never been used to admitting defeat without trying, and was even more unaccustomed to the slightly bitter feeling of defeat in his heart right now.
Losing to an outstanding military cadet from the First Military Academy was something very easy for Xu Le to accept, but he could not accept that he had the thought of admitting defeat after that attack.
In non-combat mode, the front end of the mecha's mechanical arms were all fitted with human-like alloy knuckles. When clasped together, they formed a powerful fist. The black mecha's alloy fist had actually been damaged quite severely in the earlier battle when it had knocked down the blue-black mecha.
It was this damaged alloy fist that had propped up the floor, supporting the black mecha's balance and allowing it to stand up again. Xu Le had done this very naturally, but when it was displayed on the screen, it caused even more enthusiastic applause to ring out in the comprehensive museum. In reality, Xu Le had no idea how much applause was ringing out for him. He didn't even know that there were people watching this battle. He did not need applause for anything he did.
The antique level simulation system in the mecha's cockpit suddenly attracted Xu Le's gaze.
"You're very strong. I still want to learn from you."
He opened the internal comms of the combat system and spoke very sincerely to that extremely elegant silver mecha pilot.
Inside the silver mecha, the expressionless Zhou Yu finally showed a stunned expression. He glanced reflexively at his communicator and heard the other's sincerity and honesty. A trace of doubt flashed across that heroic face, but it was not because of the attitude the other was displaying right now, but because of the details he had captured from the data analysis in the previous battle.
In everyone's eyes, the black mecha had already been utterly defeated in that short period of time. Inside the silver mecha, only Zhou Yu, the young prodigy of machine control, had keenly picked up on a trace of strangeness — at this moment, he had already confirmed that the person operating the black mecha was much slower than him in terms of hand speed and finesse in control. However, the problem was that the black mecha's reaction speed every time it dodged was always a hair faster than he had calculated.
Being faster by a hair did not seem to be an important matter, but in the lightning-quick battle between mecha, it was extremely important. Although the black mecha's reaction speed was not fully displayed because it was not at a superb level of control, the problems in the data allowed Zhou Yu to confirm that the other's reaction speed was abnormal, even much faster than his own. He could not understand how the other had done this. Could it be that there really was such a thing as intuition in legends?
In the silver mecha, after a moment of silence, Zhou Yu said seriously to the mysterious person in the black mecha who had stood up again, "Learn from each other … please."
