Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Return (Additional Release for the Alliance Leader Opening the Door for Delivery) (Fourth Release)

"I don’t think it’s a bad thing, in fact, you should feel fortunate."

The girl replied indifferently.

When Gakels heard her words, his weathered face showed a hint of surprise, and he said somewhat astonished,

"Why do you say that?"

"Their current behavior shows that these two tigers are ferocious, not two sickly cats; otherwise, that would be a disaster."

"But now they are really turning their ferocious fangs toward us?"

"What’s the problem with that? You have to believe in the Imperial Court Academy; it has stood for thousands of years, not easily shaken."

The girl replied confidently.

"Alright."

Gakels responded thoughtfully.

--------------------------------------

Several days later, inside the dormitory building.

Su Ming, Rhein, and others were sitting on the bed, constantly browsing the Star Cluster Forum.

"Wow, this tri-school competition thread has exceeded a hundred million clicks."

Rhein exclaimed amazedly.

You should know that the number of regular visitors to the Star Cluster Forum is about that number as well, which means everyone has opened and viewed it; this popularity is unmatched.

"That’s nothing, just look at the livestream channels and major television stations, nine out of ten are discussing this competition."

Zhang Yi added.

"That’s all minor; the key thing is how intensely this issue has fermented. Students who graduated from the three academies are cursing each other online. You have to realize many of these graduates are on other planets, with such bad communications, yet they ask others to go online specifically to post in support of their own academy."

Mandy followed up.

"Su Ming, why aren’t you saying anything?"

Rhein curiously asked from the top bunk.

At that moment, Su Ming was staring at an extremely hot thread, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, only to see the thread title clearly stating, The Return of Strong Reinforcement, The-Call-for-Victory.

The content of the post was simple, just a few blurry photos.

The first photo showed the side entrance of Bikong Academy, figures wearing trench coats and lowering their heads quickly walking into the academy.

In the second photo, within the vast interstellar airport, a gigantic battleship was docked, with a middle-aged man wearing a colonel’s military uniform, sporting a rough beard, and a resolute face, walking down from the exit, followed by several officers with their heads down.

Below the photo was a caption that read, Colonel Asilofa, known as the Bloody Beast, arrived at Sky Dome City’s interstellar airport at three o’clock in the morning aboard the 3rd-class battleship ’Doll’.

"Su Ming?"

Zhang Yi and others called out when Su Ming did not respond.

Su Ming suddenly snapped back to reality and replied,

"What is it?"

"What are you looking at, that you’re so absorbed?"

Rhein and the others asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just scrolled to a new post, it said that Colonel Asilofa, known as the Bloody Beast, has returned to Sky Dome City."

Su Ming briefly explained.

"Holy shit, isn’t this cheating? They actually called this guy back."

Rhein responded quite vehemently.

"I think it’s too much too."

Su Ming also knew a bit about Colonel Asilofa. This guy was an incredibly fierce officer, who once piloted a mecha alone to penetrate a planet occupied by Chilami and ultimately successfully rescued the entrapped individuals.

Who would’ve thought this guy hadn’t graduated yet?

"Don’t worry; our school has also called back quite a few students, take the currently hottest third-year student, Uluca, for example. Though he’s only a captain, he has also made quite a name for himself at the military department in recent years."

Zhang Yi said to Su Ming and the others.

"Ugh, do you think a captain has anything impressive to show in front of a colonel?"

Rhein replied irritably.

"Don’t say that, but speaking of which, that Colonel Asilofa is almost fifty years old, right? Is he a senior?"

Zhang Yi asked very confusedly.

"Who knows? If they say he’s a senior, then he’s a senior. Bikong Academy calls the shots after all."

Rhein looked disdainfully, feeling contempt for such behavior.

"Oh man, my head hurts. Can’t our academy bring back some impressive students?"

Mandy and others helplessly sprawled on the bed, complaining endlessly.

Others might enjoy these news as entertainment, but they were competitors, the ones who would get beaten up later.

"Who is our senior competitor in the fourth year?"

Su Ming pondered and then asked calmly.

"I don’t know, there’s completely no news about that. But it seems there aren’t many fourth-year students left at Imperial Court Academy who haven’t graduated yet. There are just a few dozen, and many are on the front lines."

Rhein and the others looked at each other and replied blankly.

Su Ming was about to say something when suddenly his phone vibrated, and a message popped up.

Following that, Rhein and the others’ phones also started vibrating, each receiving the mass text message.

Su Ming opened the message and took a look.

"Dear Su Ming, welcome to the tri-school competition. Please be sure to head to the Inner School’s Glorious Hall for the pre-competition meeting at 9 PM. We look forward to your arrival, Imperial Court Academy Student Council."

"Oh damn, there’s a meeting!"

"And it’s at the Inner School Hall, I’ve never been inside the Inner School; they usually don’t let people in."

...

Rhein and the others said excitedly.

Su Ming put away the message, then said to Rhein and the others,

"Rhein, go inform the classmates who are participating in the competition to gather downstairs at the dorm at eight tonight. We’ll go to the Inner School Hall together."

"Okay!"

Rhein and others immediately responded.

...

At eight in the evening.

Rhein and everyone gathered downstairs, Su Ming briefly counted the numbers, and, seeing everyone was present, waved his hand.

"Let’s go!"

"Alright!"

Rhein and the others followed Su Ming excitedly, as it was their first time attending such a formal meeting.

"Su Ming, do you know how to get to the Inner School Hall? Should we ask a teacher?"

Angel followed alongside Su Ming, asking in a low voice.

"I really don’t know, but no need to ask a teacher. I’ll ask a friend to lead us there."

Su Ming then picked up his phone and sent a message to Lin Chuyu.

"Damn, class leader, you have friends in the Inner School and you never told us, that’s really not cool."

Rhein and the others were all very surprised, knowing that to date, there were only ten students in the first-year Inner School Mecha Department, each highly distinguished.

"Cough, cough, what’s there to say? Just work hard, and maybe you can get promoted to the Inner School too."

Su Ming hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from them.

"Ah, forget about it. Even in the special training class, over the years, very few have been promoted to the Inner School. I heard there are special requirements, not just anyone can be promoted."

Rhein sighed and said.

"However, I heard that this year, there seems to be a student from the special training class who successfully got promoted, and she’s even a great beauty. What’s her name, Lin something?"

Zhang Yi leaned in and said.
