"Dean Song, if you don’t want to show us, nobody’s forcing you, but who do you think you’re fooling with a graduate’s video?" The principal from Fengye Star System recognized the simulation scenario instantly and mercilessly ridiculed.
"Myopic? I’ll help you get a new pair of eyeballs," Song Zheng slammed the table and cursed. "Has Fengye Star System run out of people? How can such trash become a principal?"
Laughter erupted in the meeting room. Some shook their heads with cold expressions, but most were fixated on the screen, their faces stern.
Someone quietly tugged at the principal from Fengye Star System, suggesting, "This is a freshman, and Elbert wouldn’t stoop to showing a graduate’s video to fool us, besides, this is a live broadcast."
The color drained from the Fengye Star System principal’s face at his words, and instinctively he sought to have Theresa speak on his behalf but saw that her face looked even worse than his.
Luckily, everyone’s attention was captured by the person on the screen, and nobody noticed the Princess’s slight lapse in composure.
Theresa could hardly maintain her poised and graceful demeanor.
The scene on the screen should have been Lin Fu performing poorly against the easiest of backgrounds, losing face, and inviting contempt and disdain from everyone.
This would not only discredit Elbert Military Academy but further damage its reputation.
It might even make Lin Fu’s poor performance the spark that led to Elbert being stripped of its name.
Why is it the Big Escape Killing?
Why is Lin Fu performing so spectacularly? Could she have been concealing her true strength, deliberately deceiving others?
This suspicion instantly calmed Theresa down and even shifted her doubts towards Fu Xing, conjuring up many secret conspiracies in her mind.
"I underestimated her; even an ant aspires to climb high," Theresa murmured in a voice only she could hear.
Her disdain deepened.
"Interesting," muttered Colonel Moson from First Military Academy, who had been mostly silent. He finally discarded his indifferent demeanor, sat up straight, and watched the battle on the screen without blinking.
He was captivated by the dazzling figure.
"What kind of movement technique is this?"
Most of those present were learned individuals with extraordinary experiences, especially Song Zheng and Moson, who had been prominent figures during their military service and had exceptional vision.
They immediately spotted the key points.
"This is definitely new," Song Zheng’s eyes sparkled, and he stood up excitedly, wishing he could roar to release his earlier fury.
It was such a feather in his cap.
Song Zheng quickly recovered from his initial shock and felt it made sense for Lin Fu to perform as she was doing.
Someone with no background suddenly became a Duchess and caught Fu Xing’s attention; there had to be a reason.
So this was the reason.
"New students daring to take on the Big Escape Killing, truly commendable."
"Based on the current performance, it’s not an exaggeration to say she dazzles everyone."
"Dean Song, your academy’s new students came prepared this year. We thought Mervin Melfield was the trump card, but you’ve hidden an ace up your sleeve."
"Thanks to Her Highness’s suggestion, otherwise we might have missed this."
Listening to the praise and playful teasing, Song Zheng’s smile almost split his face, utterly elated.
Theresa also modestly claimed it had nothing to do with her, merely a coincidence, but her disdain had turned to hatred. She, being as noble as she was, had never regarded the lowly ant. She disliked Lin Fu only because of her resentment that Major General Fu Xing chose her.
She considered it a humiliation.
But at that moment, Theresa realized just how irksome an ant could be.
