Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Who was That?

Although it was just a basic mech, he felt comfortable and compatible the moment he sat in it . Every pilot had a certain feeling with mecha, and while it can't be said that it would affect their performance, these details could indeed show in their techniques . It was seeking excellence as it is .

But basic mecha were simply made to have such qualities, and one could only accept that .

It was a pity that Wang Zheng couldn't remember the feeling of operating the Atlantis Phantom King back then . Or rather, that was not within his capabilities . But at least it proved that he could pilot a mech as long as he used the right methods .

"Would you like to resume training?"

A pop-up screen entered Wang Zheng's line of vision . Wang Zheng selected "Yes" .

Training in a heavy mech should be quite interesting . He badly wanted to understand what the training system was like in Aslan . Sigh, there were just so many bothersome things . He was from the Physics Department, and he wanted to think of a way to switch departments .

What an headache . It was also rather upsetting that his identity of the Solar System's IG team leader was not as useful as his achievements in physics .

What a fraud!

Jialan, presumably the name of the person who had just ran out, had been going through mech movement training .

At Aslan, fundamentals and techniques were the most esteemed and were treated with the greatest significance . Even though they had the best mecha in the Milky Way, Aslan had always carried on the creeds of nurturing outstanding pilots . Only a good pilot could unleash the potential of a good mech . Blindly going after mech technology was putting the cart before the horse . Regardless, men were the main body .

Wang Zheng watched the training demo with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes . Even a heavy mech had to undergo movement training of such difficulty?

Among the different types of mecha, heavy mech were mainly used to suppress the enemy using firepower and unyielding attacks . Things like movement were not important . What was most important was being unafraid of death . But at Aslan, this was not the case .

The training of movement in different terrains and training to dodge attacks were split into many levels according to its difficulty . Furthermore, the training was rather well targeted, even analyzing the opponent's status . Looking at the long list of training types, the quality of the warrior nurtured would be truly great if the entire set was mastered .

This goes to show that it wasn't just the hardware that was great, their software was even better . Their strength and power did not occur by chance . It was accumulated bit by bit .

The rise of the Solar System could not be rushed . Good preparation was the key to success .

But again, taking their time wouldn't work either . Perhaps they'd need something exciting to heat up the atmosphere of change .

It was not Wang Zheng's place to worry about these things . He was very quickly attracted by the training .

The operation of the Metal Guard was easy . Most of the basic mecha types had simple systems of operations, but it was difficult to use them well .

While it was a virtual battle simulation, the mech was real . The level of difficulty in operation would reflect entirely on the pilot . But to Wang Zheng, it was just a matter of taking a bit more time to adjust the muscle memory on strength .

Even though it was a heavy mech, it was very flexible in that there was large room for movement, giving the pilot more than enough room to display his qualities .

This was the unique characteristic of Aslanian mecha . The functions of a mech would not limit a pilot's display of skills . Even the basic models did that so well . Student Wang was indeed a little envious and jealous about all of that, but when he thought about it, this was Aina's country, and so he let it slide .

It was evident that sometimes, even men couldn't be trusted when it came to time . The proclaimed ten minutes had long passed, and Wang Zheng had completed two training sessions .

It was truly quite difficult . After two training sessions, he had broke out in sweat . Given Wang Zheng's current physical strength and status, it was rather rare .

"Training Complete . Congratulations, Student Jialan . "

Wang Zheng stared blankly . The screen had turned dark . . .

Damn, the guy had only asked him to stay here and keep watch, why did he do other people's work? Now the screen had turned off automatically . He looked at the time, and half an hour had gone by . F*ck . . .

His bad habit had recurred . He couldn't help himself whenever he saw mech .

If all else failed, run!

Wang Zheng saw that there was nobody outside and disappeared in an instant . Phew .

Jialan also ran for his life . It was just a pity he couldn't fly . When girls got mad, it was quite a headache . They were completely unreasonable . He was in class! This was just testing the limits . He hoped that Old Ghost had not returned . If Old Ghost found out that he had left his post during training, the consequences would be dire .

God bless him!

Jialan burst through the main gate and dashed towards his training room . He made a turn and froze .

Damn, what international affair was that!?

A group of people was crowding outside his training room, . . . . . with Old Ghost .

This was definitely the time to run away . That's right, turn back and find a wall to run into and then say he had gone to the medical center .

He was just about to leave when someone tapped him on the shoulder . "Ah, Jialan, what are you doing here? The teacher is looking for you, go quickly!"

Jialan smiled . He looked horrible . Even though Old Ghost treated him quite well, this was something serious . What Old Ghost hated most was people leaving their posts .

At the Royal College, it was a must to respect your teachers and elders . It was not just a tradition . The teachers held the immense powers of recommendation . That was, anybody who wanted to join the Royal Guard and military had to be recommended by a teacher . Only the cream of the crop could join .

"Jialan, you're doomed . Old Ghost has been in there for ten minutes and he's still not out yet . "

One of his friends teased .

"Lannykins, not erupting in the silence means that you have been destroyed in silence . Congratulations to you, you're finally destroyed . "

The crowd laughed . Everybody had skipped classes before, but most teachers and instructors were not so rigid, and Old Ghost was definitely an exception . He was super rigid and old-fashioned . Results were important, but he also had particularly high expectations in discipline . For that reason, everybody was especially careful when in Old Ghost's class . Even if he wasn't around, nobody dared to leave their posts .

Jialan was definitely testing Old Ghost's limits .

Jialan felt like a completely deflated ball . Why was he in such a pitiful plight? This was basically putting a gun in his own mouth .

Sigh, women were nothing but trouble .

Bam bam bam . . .

No response from the inside . Seemed like Old Ghost was angrier than he imagined . He's doomed for .

Mustering up his courage, Jialan knocked again .

The door burst open . The bystanders all took a step back, distancing themselves from Jialan .

A fire in the city gates should not bring calamity upon the fish in moats .

Old Ghost looked very serious . The atmosphere was suppressed to a certain point, and Jialan clenched his teeth and said,

"Professor, I've done wrong . . . I . . . "

Resisting would definitely be dealt with strictly, and being honest was the only way to get out of here alive .

Old Ghost interrupted Jialan, sizing Jialan up with an odd expression on his face . "Was it you or not?"

Everybody was confused by Old Ghost's bewilderment . Old Ghost had always been swift and decisive . What was wrong with him today?

"Professor, I've done wrong . I should not have slipped out during training," said Jialan .

Old Ghost waved his hand . "I'm not asking you about that . Did you complete basic training A?"

The students broke out into discussion . The level of difficulty of basic training A was extremely high . It involved all types of movement tests, and it was difficult even if they used a more agile mech, let alone the Metal Guard . Everybody knew that Jialan was trying to break through this level, but they were not optimistic about it .

Jialan stared blankly, scratched his head, and said, "I've got two more important levels, very tricky, can't finish them at all . "

"So who completed them for you?" Old Ghost asked, pointing to the darkened screen .

This was what happened when training was completed .

Jialan's jaw dropped lower and lower . What the heck happened? He dashed up immediately .

Oh, heck, it was really complete . He had been trying for a month now and had never succeeded once . What the heck was going on?

Numb nuts .

Old Ghost was stunned too . "It really wasn't you?"

"Not me . My girlfriend wanted to break up with me, so I had no choice but to go out . . . Oh, there was someone here just now, so I got him to stay in for me for a short while . About half an hour . . . . "

Jialan was stupefied . "Could it be . . . "

"Impossible . Completing the two most difficult levels in half an hour? Could it be Oz or Aurora stirring trouble?"

Jialan mumbled . It was possible for them to complete it, but they were not heavy mech pilots, and they shouldn't be interested in this .

"They have are accompanying the Princess Her Royal Highness out on a visit and have not returned!" Old Ghost shook his head . "What did he look like?"

Jialan was stumped . He scratched his head and said, "I can't remember . . I think . . very ordinary . Not Aslanian . "

Old Ghost stared . There were plenty of students who were not from the Aslan Empire at the Royal College . Where were they going to find him!

"The next time you see him, you'd better ask about it!"

Jialan wiped his sweat . He didn't expect for things to end just like that . He thought that he'd be skinned even if he didn't die .

"You take a good look at the training replay!" Old Ghost tossed a sentence at him .

Jialan and friends rushed in right away . He scanned his Skylink and reactivated the replay .

And the whole house fell completely silent . . . . What the hell was going on . . .

Student Wang was already strolling worry-free on the roads of Aslan . It was comfortable having worked out a little . It seemed like he had better find a way to get into the Mech Department quickly . The atmosphere at Aslan was really great . It'd be even better if he could exchange a few pointers with others .

Jialan crawled into the cockpit and watched the replay . Who was that, really? Who was so powerful? It was very difficult to move using a Metal Guard . Could it really have been . . . that nerdy-looking guy?

Jialan really couldn't remember what the other person looked like . He only felt that he had a comforting smile, or how would you put it, very trustworthy .

The replay began .

The Metal Guard was rather stiff at first, and it was clear that the person inside was familiarizing with the operations of this type of mech . Jialan was a pilot specializing in heavy mech, and his understanding of heavy mech was one of the best in the Royal College . Otherwise, Old Ghost wouldn't value him so highly .

By the looks of the operations, this person was not a heavy mech pilot .

But soon, Jialan's jaw dropped . On the screen, the Metal Guard was making dodging movements as if he was chasing after butterflies . It was hard to imagine what sort of pilot was sitting in there .

Dodging the thunderstorm district, making judgments and impressive pre-judgements . For heavy mech, avoiding and dodging required one to pre-judge the situation, and on top of that, eyes, hands, and muscle responses had to be quick .

This person was way too fast!

The guy's pre-judgement timing was one full second faster than his!

This was simply impossible . At this level, making a judgement one second faster was against the laws of nature .

No wonder Old Ghost was so shocked . Damn . This person must have had some sort of special technique . He would be even better if he could master this technique!

Jialan felt his heart burn . What a pity . He had missed such a great opportunity because of his girlfriend . He really didn't understand women sometimes . Men liked mecha and not other girls, what was there to be jealous of?
