On the other hand, Earthlings wouldn’t worry too much about Kaedeians, other than their relatively close relationships with House of Lie. After all, both races had been sharing the same planet since ages. Nevertheless, Earthlings were thankful for the sacrifices made by these two races during the great war against Zergs. The bravery of both Martians and Kaedeians definitely was the key factor of mankind’s success and final victory. General Li Feng too had to agree that the people on Mars feared nothing in order to ensure the survivability of mankind, even death.

Martians and Kaedeians had been going through ups and downs together, which was why these two races were so close to each other.

During the glorious days of General Li Feng, even the almighty General Rilangalos Dower had to admit that he was no match for the legendary general. But, the glory of Earth Confederation began to decline year after year following General Li Feng passing away. Soon, mankind gave up monarchy and had the world ruled under a parliamentary system. Even though Earth Confederation had the most seats, yet Earthlings were getting weaker and weaker due to their laidback habits. But luckily for Earthlings, an Einherjar would be born in the House of Li from time to time. Moreover, House of Ma was also able to frequently amaze the universe with their advanced technologies and inventions. These two houses had been ensuring Earthling’s position as the alpha race since day one.

Hence, Flark prevented the struggle from happening. It was clear that Earth Confederation could never afford to lose both House of Ma and House of Li, and this political struggle would only sabotage Earth Confederation’s power within the Pan Solar System Alliance. Without power, Earth Confederation would be replaced by Ivantian’s advanced technologies and the geological advantages of Mars; not to mention both Centaurus Cluster and Andromeda Galaxy were also beginning to rise and prosper.

People were well aware of the consequences, yet most of them would only be making decisions based on their personal interests.

Nevertheless, Flark was bold enough to smoothen things out with both forces and successfully suppress the political conflict. Later, he was well-respected as the peacemaker of Earth Confederation. Even the master of House of Li had to address Flark as Mr. principal. After the incident, it had become a tradition for the younger generations of House of Li to enroll in Capth.

Only the big names in the military and political community would have the honor to hang around Flark. Yet, Samantha was special because of her ancestor’s connections with both House of Li and House of Ma. If it weren’t because Galber was one of General Li Feng’s important partner, and also the only one who was able to get in touch with the Blade Warrior, Samantha would never have had the chance of getting such privilege.

Unfortunately, Galber’s descendants were not as outstanding, and the family tended to survive with the help from House of Ma. Things got better after they took over PA. However, it would be quite difficult for the family to get involved in politics again.

Most military and political personnel were aware of Samantha’s success in becoming the principal of Ayrlarng upon graduation. However, they didn’t bother much.

Yet, the well-respected principal was kind, and had Halmond invite Samantha to sit right next to him. As for Halmond, he was only allowed to stand behind Lieutenant General Flark, even though he was Capth’s vice principal.

Samantha could feel those unfriendly glares of jealousy as she sat down beside Flark.

”Thank you for having me, sir.” Samantha greeted and behaved like a student, even though she was already a principal herself.

Flark smiled gently, ”Now, that’s how an energetic lass from Capth should look like! But remember my child, being too pushy would only make things worse.”

Samantha was startled but remained as calm as possible. Clearly, Flark wasn’t addressing things related to this tournament, as compared to the other mega events, this tournament was nothing to him. Yet, Samantha’s guts were somehow telling her that Flark was talking about something else.

Seemed like it would be impossible to hide everything from this amazing principal!

”Yes, sir. I’ll keep it in mind.” Samantha accepted Flark’s advice politely even though she was kind of confused.

Flark smiled back and didn’t say anything else. In fact, Flark rarely gave opinions or advice to the others due to his current position. Yet, he didn’t mind giving his advice to Samantha since she used to be a student of Capth.

Samantha managed to snap out from her confusion and calmed down as the second half of the tournament began. However, she would definitely look into the meaning of Flark’s words when she got back to Ayrlarng.

Finally, the long-awaited METAL Combat matches had begun. So far, the Ayrlarng-Bernabeu Alliance had been doing great, and this was the chance for them to become famous!

”Hey look! Is that Senator Caroo?”

”That’s General Kathro right there!”

The number of famous persons, along with Principal Flark’s presence, had caused the team to freak out a little. Nevertheless, Carl was able to remain relaxed. In fact, he was quite excited to know that so many people would be here this afternoon to witness their glory.

”Hey buddy, we’re gonna be famous once we eliminate those punks!” The others were trying not to laugh when Carl said that.

”Wake up, Carl. We’re still a long way from winning. We would have to just do our best as Capth would be pulling out their A-game for sure after suffering those terrible defeats.” Best commented.

Unlike Battlecraft Combat, METAL Combat required Soul Energy, which was based on one’s tactics and mastery. Contingency might have played a big part in Battlecraft Combat, but it definitely had nothing to do with METAL Combat, since it was obvious that the students of Capth had been practicing better tactics than the students of Ayrlarng.

”Take it easy buddy, I’m sure we’ll be alright!” Carl replied confidently. Those who didn’t know Carl might have thought that he was an idiot for being that confident. Yet, the team had been spending time with him for months, and they knew that this was his way of self-cheering. To be honest, this carefree and relaxed attitude would make a huge difference during the fight!

One would be able to perform smoothly as long as he or she remained calm.

”So, Capth is sending out Wally for round one. Anyone?” Wang Tong asked.
