Xu Jinglan responded with a scoff.
Ivan tugged at the corner of his mouth and gave a perfunctory sneer toward the mocking reporters.
Archer and Marville crossed their arms and said in unison, "If not for first place, did they come for a vacation?"
Their arrogant attitude genuinely shocked countless people.
And this scene was broadcast live across the entire Empire.
Inside Elbert School, all students spontaneously gathered in front of the huge screen in the Simulation Building, watching the press conference. When they saw this scene, a huge cheer erupted from the spot.
"No matter what the results are, let’s boast first. Hahaha..."
"Right! Who cares about the results, as long as this moment feels good."
Perhaps the students of Elbert had been suppressed for too long and ridiculed too often; many of them felt a sense of relief now seeing Lin Fu and her group’s domineering presence.
Meanwhile, inside the principal’s office, Xia Zeming was also watching the live stream with a group of people.
But the teachers’ reactions were completely different from the students’.
They were experienced and had seen the school’s glorious days; the current underestimation couldn’t dampen their spirits.
"Done for!" Xia Zeming covered his face.
"I think it’s good. Young people should be spirited; they are sure to achieve good results this year."
"Yes, I see you’ve been secretly training Lin Fu for so long, perhaps she really can bring us a surprise."
The results of Omnia training Lin Fu were known only to the principal and Song Zheng in the school, kept strictly confidential. Especially the last month’s training, even the following media were stopped by Song Zheng.
"How disgraceful!" Xia Zeming, covering his face, said, "I never dared to boast like that when I was young, who gave them the guts? How should I attend the opening ceremony tomorrow?"
The assistant rolled his eyes, thinking to himself: The principal is being unreliable again.
At the same time, Fu Xing had just left the Military Department meeting room to meet an old friend he had not seen in years.
"Commander." Monger hurried up to him.
"The Lady is attending the press conference, would you like to check it out?" Since Monger learned the truth, he had been particularly concerned about Lin Fu’s matters and no longer found the Lady troublesome.
Monger immediately handed over his work terminal, and Fu Xing held it all the way on the aerocar, not willing to put it down until he reached the meeting place.
"Will the Lady win first place?" Monger looked worried.
"Not sure, but I can do something to help her." Fu Xing flicked his finger and sent out the video interview from yesterday.
In the venue, the questions from the reporters continued.
Finally, they entered the phase everyone was curious about.
"Lin Fu, it is said that you have openly declared war on Princess Therese. Your conflict has reached an irreparable stage. Can you elaborate on this for us?"
"Isn’t this the freshman competition?" Lin Fu looked puzzled at everyone, "Why bring up someone completely irrelevant? Is Therese participating in the competition?"
The questioning reporter looked embarrassed.
But others had already caught the hint from Lin Fu’s words, like sharks sensing blood, ready to strike.
"They also say she is the highlight guest at the opening ceremony? Not at all? Please don’t mention someone irrelevant to this competition anymore. That’s disrespectful to the organizing committee and the First Military Command College."
