111: Chapter 111 Questioning (Second Update) 111: Chapter 111 Questioning (Second Update) “Teacher, I’ve bought the wine for you, so can we start the lesson now?”
Su Ming asked politely.
Mia smiled and replied to Su Ming and the others.
“As I always keep my word, you buy me a bottle of wine, and I’ll give you a lesson.”
Upon hearing Mia’s words, the corner of Su Ming’s mouth twitched, and his classmates behind him were all dumbfounded.
“You’re kidding, right?
One bottle of wine for one lesson?”
“How can we afford that?”
Finally, Rhein couldn’t bear it any longer and angrily pointed at Mia to accuse her.
“You’re really going too far; I seriously doubt you’re qualified to teach us!”
Mia immediately laughed and said to Rhein,
“Interesting, I’m not qualified to teach you?”
“Yes!”
“Ha ha, let’s make a bet then.
We’ll use the same mechas to determine the winner, and I won’t bully you—I’ll take on any five of you alone.
If you win, you can decide what happens.
If you lose, and want a lesson, bring wine!”
“Five against one, do you really think we’re trash?
Although we are students, each of us is a genius in our own right.”
Rhein and the others immediately felt insulted.
“Scared now?”
Mia replied with a smile.
“Bring it on, who’s scared?”
Rhein and the others retorted, furious.
“Great, wait for me; I’ll go change my clothes!”
Mia then walked toward her bedroom.
Su Ming watched Mia’s retreating figure, his expression thoughtful, but he didn’t say much.
Soon after, Mia changed into her teacher’s attire and came out, waving her hand crisply.
“Follow me!”
“Hmpf!”
Rhein and the others followed her angrily.
Forty minutes later, Mia led Su Ming and the others to the Imperial Court Academy’s arena.
The entire arena was shaped like a coliseum, with outer walls reaching over two hundred meters high, and the entire main structure was constructed of alloy, which was quite awe-inspiring.
“Teacher Mia, why did you bring students here?”
At this moment, a stooped old man with white beard approached and asked coldly.
“To teach these noobs a lesson.”
Mia said with a smiling grin.
“Hmpf, you and teaching.”
“So, what’s the problem, Angus?”
“As you wish!”
Angus didn’t stop Mia either.
Mia then led Su Ming and the others into the interior of the arena.
The arena stunned Su Ming and his classmates as it was incredibly large, occupying a whole ten square kilometers.
All around were stands, densely packed with seats.
“Wow, it’s so big!”
“It looks so magnificent!”
The group couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
Mia watched the students’ astonished expressions and smiled, snapping her fingers.
The ground shook slightly.
Su Ming and the others were startled to see the ground around them crack open as mechanical platforms rose, each platform holding a mecha, including Iron Head, Iron Knight, Defender…
Besides that, there was also a weapons rack that displayed a variety of cold weapons for Mecha.
“Real mechs?
We’re using real mechs to fight?
Aren’t we using simulation pods?”
Rhein and others were also surprised, very unexpected.
“Simulation pods?
Who uses those things, of course we’re using real mechs for combat.”
Mia yawned as she spoke.
“But teacher, what if the mechs get damaged during real combat?”
Angel asked worriedly, knowing that the repair costs for Mechas could be expensive.
“If they get damaged, then they get damaged.
Just let the students from the Mecha Repair Class fix it for free, otherwise, what are we keeping them for?”
Mia replied without a care.
After hearing this, Zhang Yi and the others asked somewhat confusedly.
“Is that okay?”
“What’s wrong with that?
I’m telling you, the repair class is for repairs, the agriculture class is for farming, and the medical class is for treating illnesses.
Do you understand?
As for you guys in the Mechanical Armor Class, once you’re trained, you’re thrown into the battlefield to fight the enemies!”
Mia blurted out without thinking.
“Teacher, can’t you phrase it more gently?”
Many students at the scene said with somewhat awkward expressions.
“Phrase what gently?
I’m training you to be used, otherwise what’s the purpose of training you!”
Mia said nonchalantly.
“Alright, but teacher, are you sure about using real mechs for combat?
Things could go wrong, and people could get injured.
Is that okay?”
Rhein looked at Mia seriously and asked.
“Haha, no worries!
The training mechs here are specially made.
The First Generation mechs use second-generation cockpits with very high safety factors.
It’s not that easy to have issues.”
“Then why aren’t they commonly used on the battlefield?”
Zhang Yi asked, not understanding why such effective equipment wasn’t universally applied if it was so good.
“Of course, it’s a cost issue, good things are naturally expensive!”
Mia replied simply.
“Okay then, but you be careful, teacher.”
Rhein said, no longer apprehensive.
“Haha, are you worried I’ll get hurt?
No need, if I can’t beat some small fries like you, I shouldn’t even be here.”
Mia spoke very frivolously, not taking them seriously at all.
“Fine, you said it.”
Rhein replied with a dark expression, every time he talked to Mia he would almost die of frustration.
At this time, Su Ming looked at the real mechs and then at Mia; he suddenly felt that having such a teacher was quite interesting.
“As I said, I won’t waste words with you, let me introduce these Mechas to you.”
Mia strode towards the ten mechs.
Su Ming and others followed her closely.
Mia raised her finger towards Iron Head and gave a brief introduction.
“First Generation Iron Head from the Federation Government, most widely used Mech, advantages: tough and strong beyond its peers, disadvantages: very cumbersome!”
Su Ming and the others listened intently as Mia introduced.
After introducing Iron Head, she then pointed towards Iron Knight and said,
“Produced on Earth Flame Star, Iron Knight has agility as its advantage, but it’s brittle and lacks strength.”
Then Mia walked up to a mech standing five meters tall, its body and limbs resembling those of a frogman, holding a Metal Blade, in front of a dark green mech, she introduced,
“First Generation Mech·Advancer from Planet Mogerdy, advantage: dexterous, disadvantage: apart from its advantage, everything else is a disadvantage.”
Su Ming and the others felt somewhat speechless.
Mia then pointed to the fourth mech, this one seven meters tall, left hand holding a rectangular Metal Shield, right hand holding a Metal Hammer, black painted, and had a massive build.
“First Generation Mech·Barbarian from Black Flame Star, advantages: high defense, great strength, good destructive power.
Disadvantages: poor at ranged attacks, too cumbersome.”
“Not bad.”
Zhang Yi and others exclaimed admiringly.
After introducing the Barbarian, Mia looked at the next Mech, but by this point, she was out of patience and just waved her hands, saying,
“The rest you can check out yourselves, they’re all common classic models.”
Rhein and the others were used to Mia’s dismissive attitude, so they just turned to look at the remaining Mechs themselves.
