Chapter 481: Crazy Training III
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xi Qing's long awaited personal training by the instructor himself had finally arrived. He had prepared long and hard for this day.
The two mechs faced each other. One was Xi Qing's D-6, and the other, Ye Chong's Muscle Man. Everyone in Group 25 halted their training and came to watch the fight. The instructor's ability in mech piloting had always been a mystery to them. They would certainly not miss out on the chance to watch him fight in his mech.
”You attack first,” Ye Chong ordered simply.
”Alright,” Xi Qing was overjoyed and replied excitedly. He made his move instantly.
D-6 lowered itself down, pushing itself forward with its bent legs. Its engines were on on full power, and both hands were already armed with swords. As Xi Qing watched the awkward looking mech growing larger and larger in his eyes, he realized that he was feeling very calm inside.
The mech seemed to ignore his move and did not react. Xi Qing was patient, and did not get worked up because of it.
Close the distance, get in position, strike his target!
Xi Qing cleared his mind of all distractions as he types the commands quickly on his controls. The two swords in D-6's hands rotated, their hilts now pointed to the front.
Wham! The mech's legs stomped heavily on the ground, and as its engines swerved in another direction, D-6's movements became a blur.
Geometrical veering!
D-6 accelerated abruptly to its maximum speed, and the sword in its left hand silently pointing towards Muscle Man's throat. His right hand held its sword back, a hidden threat that could strike out at any time.
The students who were watching all gasped in surprise. The series of movements were so fast that it caught them off guard. Some of the more pretentious students began to imagine themselves at the receiving end, and considered their chances of avoiding the attack - they quickly concluded that they would not be able to do so. These pretentious students felt humiliated upon this realization.
Xi Qing had put a lot of thought into this attack. He was smart, and knew that the instructor would most likely ask him to attack first. He would be given that advantage. Hence, he came up with this strategy! He was confident that it would be able to at least cause trouble for the instructor, if not outright defeat him.
Strategically speaking, this was an example of a prepared attack launched against an unprepared opponent!
Muscle Man's body grew larger and larger in his eyes. D-6 had already locked on to his target. However, Muscle Man did not move still. Could his instructor fail to come up with a countermove? Impossible! Xi Qing dismissed the thought immediately. However, he could not afford to consider it further. He would not want to disturb his momentum just because he could not read his opponent's intention.
Now! Xi Qing's eyes glowed. He quickly entered his preset commands.
Just then, the inert Muscle Man began to move!
Knees bent, lunge forward, attack! The clumsy Muscle Man was now like a human fighter, its every move deft and fluid. Its huge body and unwieldy limbs produced a sharp contrast with its movements. The paradox was strange to watch.
Muscle Man suddenly accelerated to a point 30 degrees to the right of the D-6 while swiping out with its left leg.
Xi Qing was secretly pleased. In all the possible scenarios he considered, this was one of them. His instructor would be able to escape his own attack range and change the fighting dynamics between them.
Of course, if Xi Qing had anticipated this, he would have a countermeasure in place!
D-6 swiped out with its right sword, took a right step back, then slashed downwards with the sword in its left hand.
Both mechs were moving fast. D-6's right hand sword was going for Muscle Man's throat, while its left hand kept the mech from escaping. Their instructor was about to lose! The students watched anxiously. It was not exactly shocking if their instructor lost, but Xi Qing's attack was truly vicious and well planned! It did not surprise them that their instructor would lose.
As expected, Xi Qing was a capable man! Everyone looked to D-6 with admiration.
