Chapter 44: Return

Translator: AbyssrulerEditor: Lucas

Unknowingly, the distance between the two had shrunk. It has to be said that Wang Zheng used to be tormented by Bonehead. In fact, because of Bonehead, Wang Zheng felt a slight aversion to beautiful girls. In his mind, Wang Zheng conjured up an image of Bonehead wearing makeup so as to help himself focus and not be distracted.

However, a beautiful girl was still a beautiful girl regardless.

Meng Tian had an amazing body, and there was nothing wrong with her features. She had flawless, snow-white skin, and other than her cold personality, she was truly a beauty that anyone would fall in love with at first sight.

Even if Wang Zheng was slow to react, he would eventually succumb to the other party's charm.

However, by the time, Wang Zheng could feel it. Meng Tian hurriedly stood up. ”I'm going to go first. I will help your friend pass the letter to An Mei. Don't worry about it.”

After reassuring Wang Zheng, she rushed towards the female changing rooms. Even Wang Zheng could feel that her heart was clearly quite flustered.

Dear Student Wang rubbed his nose. Was he that scary?

To the students of Ares College, the upcoming month would definitely be the most exciting one by far.

Firstly, it was an event between the three military colleges. This year it would be held in Ares College, and it was rare that there would be a full confrontation with blood boiling battles! It was something everyone looked forward to!

The students of Ares College were particularly excited as this year's freshmen included Masasi and Carl. Because of these two extraordinary individuals, Ares College's team's strength had improved explosively. There was a good chance that they would be able to realize Old Third's ten-thousand-year destiny.

The second and also most important thing was that Lin Huiyin would be performing a concert in Beijing.

In the entire Solar System, she only chose to perform on Earth and specifically in Beijing.

This caused all of her numerous fans to be extremely excited. Of course, the fans included the three in the dormitory and Wang Zheng's best buddy, Yan Xiaosu.

To the princeling Student Yan, he would spare no expense to grab a ticket.

However, up till now, only news of the concert was made available. Ticketing had yet to start, but the fans would inevitably be waiting anxiously.

However, the problem was that Lin Huiyin was just too popular. Although the younger generation was full of rebellious individuals, Huiyin's sweet princess image had captivated countless hearts. Everyone aspired to be a badass while hoping others were just quiet individuals who wouldn't dare to stand out. The new song was one that had a very gallant style to it. For Lin Huiyin's previous concerts, the venues were typically bursting with people. This time, the concert would be in Beijing with the headlining song being NOT AFRAID.

It was rumored that the inspiration for the song had come from Earth.

Students loved to engage in bustling activity, and this exciting festival was no exception.

Yan Xiaosu happily called Wang Zheng on his Skylink, telling him that An Mei had agreed to his invitation.

After merely meeting once, it seemed as though An Mei was quite different from Yue Jing. Even if his confession was unsuccessful, it was unlikely that she would put him on the spot.

For the purpose of this prestigious interschool event, the school had to pick out outstanding talent to compete against the other schools. Despite an equal number of spots allocated for freshmen and seniors, the main point of the exchange was to test the freshmen's talent.

Masasi and Carl were both freshmen but were without a doubt part of the main force. Wang Zheng was picked as the substitute for the team. Although Wang Zheng's military training wasn't bad, a training exercise could not be considered sufficient experience, because a real battle was a completely different situation.

The other two had often experienced such competitions, and as such, selecting them was to be expected. But for someone without prior battle experience, being selected as a substitute was already very shocking.

Other than him, Zhang Shan was selected as another substitute.

The two of them were representatives from the Physics Department, which was also the first time something like this had happened.

Captain: Ma Xiao

Official Members: Jiang Bin, Masasi, Carl, Meng Tian

Substitutes: Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan, Guan Tao

The individuals who were chosen for this event every year would have special attention paid to them by the school. This year's event was even more lively as Masasi and Carl's strength had given the school a hope for victory.

Even though Ma Xiao was considered an expert, a lone hero could not hold back a pack of wolves; his individual ability was not sufficient to allow him to dominate the competition.

With Masasi and Carl assisting him, Ma Xiao felt his confidence increase. Especially since he had personally tested the two's battle capabilities, he had felt extremely confident. The remaining time left for training was meant to improve the team's ability to work together, as well as for personal training to ensure that the team would compete in peak physical condition.

Guan Tao was originally in the official line up, but he was replaced by Meng Tian. However, this was expected as the tournament was originally intended for the freshmen. Furthermore, when Guan Tao had competed with Meng Tian, he had lost three times in a row! Ma Xiao had to make a decision.

As Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan showed excellent performance during military training, they were chosen as the substitutes of the team. Such a line up was already sufficient.

The training lasted from 7 PM to 9 PM every night with Teacher Zhuo Mu from the Mecha Department supervising.

Zhuo Mu had graduated from Ares College and was the trump card of the Army. However, as he had lost one of his legs in a battle, he retired as a battle instructor. He was a teacher with a unique ”personality,” and in truth he was quite cruel. He would fly into a terrible rage whenever someone failed, and this often resulted in the school receiving numerous complaints. However, he had suppressed the complaints with his own abilities. Yet, the fact was that if results could not be produced, it would be hard to say if he could continue to stay in the school.

Guan Tao whispered, ”One has to be calm to deal with Steel Leg Zhuo. Regardless of what he says, just imagine he's just making fart noises.”

Guan Tao was quite close to the rest with the exception of Ma Xiao and Jiang Bin. Zhang Shan was in a festive mood; with Wang Zheng together with him, Zhang Shan treated the training regime as an excursion with a buddy.

After half an hour, Zhuo Mu finally hobbled his way into the classroom. One of his legs was fitted with a steel prosthetic and his footsteps were uneven, clinking as he walked along.

Zhuo Mu scoffed at the eight of them before looking at Ma Xiao. ”Why are you still here? Looks like Ares College is lacking people.”

Ma Xiao looked embarrassed. He was in his 4th year and by right should not be eligible for the interschool competition. However, it was unavoidable as Ares College was severely lacking in experts.

With regards to Jiang Bin and Guan Tao, Zhuo Mu completely ignored the two of them. However, Jiang Bin and Guan Tao did not take offense at his treatment of them; they had long become used to his attitude.

Using Steel Leg Zhuo's own words, ”Crop after crop, disappointment year after year.”
