Before the competition even began, the Royal Starship Academy had already hit the top of the Star Network headlines, becoming a laughingstock for the nation.
Lin Fu looked delighted and whispered to Ji Xiu, "It seems that your divide-and-conquer strategy from yesterday worked."
"Could it be a deliberate act?" Ji Xiu, who had been frightened by the scheme, was left with a psychological shadow.
"Absolutely not. The Royal Starship Academy would never stage such a thing. The cost would be too painful, no less than when we, the Military Academy, lost to Fu Xing ten years ago." Lin Fu was certain about how important face was to a noble.
"Even if it was fake at first, now it has to become real."
Nolan, having heard this, agreed, "This time, the Royal Starship Academy is set to be nailed to the pillar of shame, Lin Fu is right. From this moment on, for the Royal Starship Academy, they have already lost."
The people around looked at each other in dismay, not expecting that simply fighting over a seat could become so serious.
The same topic was also being discussed at several other military schools.
"What if it were us? How should we have acted?"
Everyone stared at Lin Fu, expecting her to say more.
Lin Fu thought for a moment, then said, "First of all, our situation at the Military Academy is different from that of the Royal Starship Academy. We focus on different things and have different traditions. Do you remember the full name of our school? We’re the Non-commissioned Officer College; we’re of civilian blood. What do we want with face? Of course, substance is more important."
The crowd laughed heartily, uplifted by her words.
"However, the face that should be fought for must still be fought for. If it were me just now, I would have taken down the First Military Command College and made them obediently give up their seat."
Everyone looked at her with admiration.
"Holy shit! We can do that?"
"You... you really thought that way."
"I thought the goal was to take us down, or to use a stronger attitude to drive Feng Lin away."
Nobody expected that Lin Fu’s real target was the First Military Command College.
"What if... what if we can’t beat them?" Ye Fei, from logistics, was not confident in his combat ability and naturally didn’t believe they could beat the First Military Command College.
Lin Fu scoffed, "Winning or not doesn’t matter; what’s important is the attitude, the momentum, stirring up the waters, taking back our face, and not being looked down upon."
Everyone cheered happily.
Their voices were not quiet, and they were not hiding anything. Their neighbors to the left and right surely all heard, and now, the people from the First Military Command College looked righteously indignant, but also felt that what was said made sense, and it didn’t seem right to argue with them.
What if Lin Fu suddenly found the second-place seat unsightly and wanted to try for first place?
After all, they didn’t care about winning.
As for face? Hah... With Elbert’s self-indulgent school spirit, when have they ever cared about face?
They couldn’t afford to lose face, unlike Lin Fu.
After this incident, no one dared to look for trouble again.
"Silence, the competition is starting now."
On the gigantic screen, the scene switched back to outer space, with the Cosmic Fleet on one side and a planet with a massive ring in the distant starry sky. As soon as this scene appeared, everyone on the scene squinted their eyes.
"The final scene actually took place here; it’s too difficult."
This scene was actually very famous; anyone with a bit of professional knowledge could recognize it at a glance.
