Chapter 227: Chapter 3 Is This Where Freshmen Report?
Dingchuan Academy.
Located within a beautiful region to the east of Zhongjing City, surrounded by mountains on two sides and a body of water on another, with many rolling hills at the center.
Covering an area of 120 square kilometers!
As one of the Federation’s Five Great Colleges, this area could rival that of a medium-sized city.
Inside the academy, there was a real Mecha training ground that spanned 20 square kilometers, and even a fleet training ground that docked two interstellar combat cruisers.
This place was the sacred ground of countless students’ dreams and represented the highest hall of academic honor.
Every year in July and August, Dingchuan Academy had its summer vacation.
During this period, quite a few students chose to go home, but even more decided to use these two months to train and better themselves.
Dingchuan Academy’s motto, “Integrity, Diligence, Innovation, Self-improvement,” spoke volumes about the sentiments of its students.
In the era of the Great Star Sea, truth always lay in the hands of the powerful!
At that moment, a tall and fierce-looking man was loitering beneath the seventh Triumphal Arch of Dingchuan Academy, twirling a dagger listlessly.
The cold gleam of the dagger blade whirled around his fingertips, even making a whistling sound in the air.
Second-year Mecha Department senior, “Fierce Wolf” Taber.
With a physical standard of level 20 and strength up to 22, his superior physical condition had already earned him a spot on the Dingchuan Academy Mecha team.
He was ruthless and cruel.
In ordinary match assessments, if his opponents did not surrender, they often got seriously hurt; more terrifying was that he was particularly vengeful and narrow-minded.
Many passersby, recognizing the man who often appeared in videos, instinctively avoided him from afar.
Hmm!
“Nobodies like Renault are idols only for those like you who need the shelter; wait until we reach the battlefield, I could kill three like him with ease.
There are too many sheep in the academy these days!”
“Why hasn’t he come yet?
If it weren’t for that one transaction credit, who would want to stand here like an idiot.”
Taber leaned on the colossal stone door of the Triumphal Arch, towering twenty-seven meters high, and no one dared to approach within five meters of him, his temper about to explode.
Credits: fixed credits and transaction credits.
Transaction credits were a form of hard currency on the school’s platform that allowed students to trade among themselves.
The purchasing power of one credit could be summed up as equivalent to about 50,000 Star Coins outside, as it could be exchanged for all types of finely crafted equipment and parts within the academy.
Different credits corresponded to different priced items, allowing selection of individual weapons for adventures or exchanging for rare parts to modify and upgrade one’s Mecha.
However, earning them was extremely strict, as completing a week’s tasks only garnered approximately 0.2 credits.
Such a simple task to earn 1 credit naturally made Taber gladly accept it; wasn’t it just to intimidate a bunch of new students?
The clock pointed to 2 PM.
Glancing at his wristwatch, Taber’s expression turned colder.
Waiting here for two hours, even Renault was not qualified for that.
He was about to see who had the audacity to keep him waiting so long.
At that moment, a group of three approached the massive Triumphal Arch.
They stood out and seemed out of place because all three were not wearing the gray school uniform that was a hallmark of Dingchuan Academy.
One walked ahead, his demeanor revealing a hint of nobility.
The other two lagged behind by half a step each.
The order of prominence among the three was clear at a glance.
As they reached the Triumphal Arch, the leading young man halted, looked up at the massive arch without a word.
One of the two behind glanced at the giant stone gate, then said in a low voice, “It looks like this is the place.
As an elite student, Xize young master comes and there’s not even anyone to greet him?”
The other one seemed puzzled, “That shouldn’t be right; we received a message from Sky Communication to come here, saying someone would meet us.”
The young man named Xize, ignoring the conversation of the two behind him, being the strongest of the Third Administrative District’s Army Reserve, simply didn’t care to discuss such matters.
Then, the whistling sound caught their attention.
Tilting his head to the side.
Taber, who was casually playing with the dagger, entered their line of sight.
The gray academy uniform was completely insufficient to conceal his robust physique.
And the scar at the corner of his eye added an undeniable menace.
Now, Taber was leaning against the vast stone gate, more than ten meters away from them.
The dagger danced.
The young man named Xize turned his head and after a few seconds of silent observation, he scoffed.
The interlocking fingers halted, and the dagger whirled back into the palm with a graceful flourish.
Taber’s drooping eyelids lifted as he gazed at the young man opposite him.
Of average height, but the subtle aura of nobility around him clearly indicated he was not from an ordinary civilian background, his eyes carried an undisguised sneer.
When he noticed Taber’s gaze, his eyebrows twitched symbolically.
“Amusing, isn’t it?” Taber, unexpectedly not angered, instead began to smile unusually.
Those who knew Taber understood that when he smiled, it was truly the moment he began to hold a grudge against you.
Unfortunately, it was noon, with only a sparse number of students passing by.
Originally thinking it would be fun to watch, but upon seeing that distinctive face, they knew who he was.
Better leave quick, watch from a far distance.
“The academy sent you to pick someone up, right?
Started to show off the old student privilege before they even arrived?” The young man named Xize spoke these words lightly, his words not devoid of mockery.
In even the largest academies, there existed those who were pretentious.
The two followers beside him stood with their arms crossed, watching Taber laugh; they too had come from the Third Administrative District, having simply chosen earlier to follow this young man named Xize.
Astonishing background, and personally among the top talents.
Not clinging to such a person’s coattails early on was the real foolish move.
Playing the big boss when one is merely an attractively packaged imbecile.
Just because he entered the academy a few years earlier.
“I finally understand why the academy assigned me that task, knowing I would surely take it.
You bunch of rookies, just freshly accepted through the Army Reserve Special Recruitment, today I will give you your first lesson on what it means to respect your seniors!”
As soon as he had spoken, Taber’s dagger suddenly flew from his hand.
Xize sneered.
“I was about to not say anything about one elite student, but today, I’ll prove something to the academy!”
He spun in place with a reverse kick.
The swiftly approaching dagger was kicked precisely at the hilt by the tip of his foot and sent flying.
Already closing in, Taber’s fingers spread like claws, fiercely reaching out.
As Xize spun down with the same rapidity, he delivered a lifting kick in reverse.
Between the sounds slicing through the air, a dull thud echoed.
Both were propelled backward at the same time.
“Is this the level of a senior?” Xize’s tone was once again mocking.
“So this batch of elite students is this trash…”
Ignoring the taunts from the young man opposite, Taber spread his hands diagonally downward into claws, and with a boom, transformed into an afterimage charging forward.
Just playing tough, this time I will exceed your expectations on this task, free of charge.
With a sinister smile on his face, Taber surged forward at twice the speed of his first rush.
In the horrified gazes of the other two young men, that gray silhouette eerily dodged the whip kick thrown out by Xize.
A hand, scarred by knife wounds, suddenly appeared on his neck, then brutally pinned him to the ground.
Thud!
With his side forehead bloodied, the young Xize’s face turned a purplish hue with anger, yet he couldn’t rise.
With one hand, Taber pinned Xize firmly to the ground and casually patted Xize’s face with the other.
“Show respect to your seniors, this is your first lesson at Ding Chuan.
Also, being an elite student doesn’t mean you can put on airs.”
“Don’t worry, none of you so-called elites and stars are getting away.”
The two followers who were just mocking could now barely speak, staring fearfully at Taber who bore a demon-like smile.
“Um…
excuse me, is this where Ding Chuan Academy’s new student registration is happening?”
Suddenly, a timid inquiry came from behind.
