CHAPTER 700: CHAPTER 700: SCUMBAG! PAY ME BACK!

This group of the strongest students from this session is led by Captain Ji You, and Vice-Captain Shen Changqing.

Regarding this, the students were a bit surprised at first but, upon a bit of thought, didn’t find it too unexpected.

Number 4444, Ji You, having the strength to make it into the top three of the Alliance’s online competition, is proof enough of her capabilities.

No one dared to really underestimate her.

Even the members of Ji You’s group, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Xuzhou... even Shen Changqing, weren’t surprised by this appointment and accepted it quickly.

Next.

Mu Jianling continued arranging the appointments of team captains and vice-captains, seemingly in no rush to depart.

Roughly half an hour later, after all appointments had been distributed, Mu Jianling finally said, "Now, board the Starship in the order of your groups!"

This time, the mode of transport for taking the students to their assessment was not a spaceship; it was a Starship!

Without a doubt, this was an extremely generous gesture.

This also made the students very excited, albeit a bit nervous:

Could it be—

Are we really going off to war?

The students boarded the Starship in a strict and orderly manner.

This was the second time Ji You boarded a Starship; the first time was at Taoyuan Space Station. Though it was no longer a novelty, Ji You still felt her heart quiver with excitement as she looked at the huge craft before her!

The entire outer shell of the Starship was pitch-black, its body shaped like a fish’s tail with sleek lines, and the boarding hatch was situated where the fish’s lips would be...

Of course, compared to the one at Taoyuan Space Station, the school’s Starship didn’t measure up. Not to mention other factors, just in terms of size, Ji You estimated it to be about six times smaller than the one at Taoyuan Space Station, and its other features were likely far inferior as well.

But!!! This Starship still inspired awe.

After Ji You boarded, she found the spot for her group, and the team members took their seats in turn.

The Starship’s interior was spacious, divided into several large areas, with the students currently allowed to move around in the Living Area and the Training Area.

Within the Living Area, there were also rest zones, a dining hall, and more.

After all students from the 131st session had boarded, the Starship didn’t immediately take off.

After a short wait, the next batch of students began to board in an organized fashion led by a teacher. Seeing these students, the entire 131st session was taken aback:

Eh?

The senior students from the 130th session’s Combat Department?

Second Years?

They’re participating in the assessment with our session? To the same destination?

Everyone had questions in their minds, however, the senior students from the 130th session, one by one, wore serious expressions and showed no inclination to chat with their juniors, leaving the group itching with curiosity, wishing they could immediately grab someone to ask.

Ji You was also extremely curious, stretching her neck as far as she could to look over at the seniors—

The Starship had a vast space, and the students from the 130th session were not in the same Living Area as those from the 131st. After they boarded, they went directly to the second Living Area.

Unable to find anyone to ask, Ji You and her group of students could only hold back their curiosity and persevere.

Suddenly—

A slender hand popped up, reaching out and mussing Ji You’s hair.

Ji You: "???"

Ji You almost jumped up, turning her head with her eyes wide, only to meet Senior He Bi’s scumbag face.

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s face was the picture of annoyance, while He Bi’s lips curled into a smirk, his hand not letting go and even rubbing with more force, thoroughly messing up Ji You’s hair!

Annoyed, Ji You asked: "Senior He Bi, are you having fun?"

He Bi: "Very fun!"

With that, he ruffled her hair again, leaving Ji You’s hair in complete disarray.

Ji You: "..."

He Bi: "Didn’t expect this head of yours to be quite hard." Saying this, he raised his hand and knocked on her head, seriously analyzing: "Hmm—feels almost like a big watermelon, knock on it, and it goes thud thud."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You gritted her teeth, ominously drawing out her words: "Senior He Bi, do you want to try how it feels to have a brain that snaps and crackles?"

She clenched her fists, eyes fierce and cold—

He Bi laughed heartily and withdrew his hand, "Don’t want to, don’t want to."

"Let’s go."

"Let’s go."

Thought you could tease me and then just run away?

In your dreams!

Ji You leaped up and shouted, "Scumbag! Where do you think you’re running off to!"

He Bi: "..."

Her shout was surprisingly loud, attracting countless gazes in an instant.

He Bi’s mouth twitched as he took Ji You’s punch head-on, effortlessly deflecting all of her attacks with a gentle push, and with a helpless expression explained to the curious onlookers, "Hey—stop staring! I’m really not a scumbag."

Really? The students didn’t believe him—

He Bi with a face full of helplessness: "Really."

At that moment, Ji You who had been pushed a few meters away charged back, bellowing: "Scumbag! Pay back the money!"

The students suddenly realized: So that’s it! Not a heartbreaker, but a cheater of money!

He Bi: "..."

He Bi was downcast, somewhat regretting why he messed with this little shorty.

This little shorty, she’s a little crazy, always so good at turning the tables on someone.

He Bi raised his hand and again deflected Ji You’s onslaught.

Ji You felt slightly frustrated.

During this time, Ji You had been furiously building her body, originally thinking she had become very strong, but facing Senior He Bi, she was so easily overpowered, even though there’s only a one-year difference between them.

Why is the gap so large?

He Bi watched as the little shorty Ji You attacked again and after stopping her, hurriedly said: "Let’s stop this, no more playing."

Ji You pouted and asked: "Senior He Bi, are you also participating in the final exams?"

There are estimated to be about 300 students in this 130th batch. As far as Ji You knew, there were about 1,000 people in the second-year Combat Department alone; couldn’t it be that only 300 came? Isn’t that a bit few?

Upon hearing this, He Bi shook his head with a smile, saying, "Can’t tell, can’t tell."

Ji You: "..."

Just as Ji You was about to speak—

He Bi raised his hand and shushed her: "Don’t ask, don’t ask."

Ji You waved her hand: "Get lost! Hurry up and scram!"

He Bi walked towards another door with a smile.

Ji You muttered, "He really left. What’s this about? Sneaky and mysterious."

Beside her.

Shen Changqing said softly, "If I’m not mistaken, their batch of students is going straight to the front lines."

Huh?

A group of people opened their mouths in surprise, Yue Qiguang staring wide-eyed: "Are we not going to the front lines?"

Without speaking, Ji You directly rolled her eyes at Yue Qiguang: "You, a weak chicken who took 10 tries just to pass the Basic Mecha Driver’s License, want to go to the front lines? Dream on, you’re just fodder!"

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Damn it!

Curse it!

Brought up that shameful past again, Yue Qiguang, who had used up all his points and even went into the negative after taking 10 attempts to pass, had this dark spot that he couldn’t erase.

And—he could never have imagined, not in a million years, that he, a genius with an S-class physique, would one day be mocked by the once Double E, No. 4444!

The shame!

Ignoring No. 4444, Yue Qiguang sat stewing in silent indignation, pacing himself to listen to Shen Changqing’s explanation.

Shen Changqing said, "Student Ji You is right, the location for our final exams this time is definitely not going to be in the front line combat zone."
