Chapter 288 Pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger
'Bang, bang, crash—' There was a series of sounds as things hit the ground, followed by a cry of pain. After a while, the other person sighed and said, "Wait, I'll come pick you up soon."
"He calls you brother?" Su Yan asked, wondering what their relationship was.
Lasha replied, “My parents divorced. I stayed with my dad in the Federation. He stayed with my mom. My mom remarried and married a high-ranking official in the capital star. He went to the Star Emperor Military Academy with her.”
Ashia was tall and slender, looking dashing in her well-fitting black and gold military academy uniform. Combined with her handsome blond hair and blue eyes, she was a truly pleasing sight.
Su Yan turned to look at La Xia again. He was slovenly and thin, with brown hair and blue eyes. It was hard to tell that the two were related by blood.
"Brother—" Ashia called out enthusiastically.
Lasha scoffed, "Why did you take so long?"
"I'll run faster next time."
"That's more like it. Let me introduce Su Yan, a mecha soldier from our school team."
"Hmm? Your school team? But I already asked, they're the mecha pilots at the Deinkov Military Academy."
Lasha interrupted him, "I am now a mech pilot at the Paxton Military Academy in the Independent Military District, and I do not represent the Federation."
“Independent Military Region…” Ashia looked at Lasha, then at Su Yan who was perfectly capable of participating in a beauty pageant, and wiped her nose. “Oh, I’ll take you in first.”
This year's independent military region is still very unreliable!
Upon entering the Imperial Military District's training ground, the oppressive atmosphere immediately put everyone on edge.
Su Yan blinked her beautiful, bright eyes, slightly straightened her chest and tucked in her stomach, her long legs slender and straight, immediately attracting the attention of a group of proud young men.
"Where did this stunning beauty come from?" someone shouted directly.
"He's wearing a school uniform. Which military academy is he from? Does anyone know him? Tell me quickly!"
"She's so pretty, only slightly less so than the school beauty of our Star Emperor Military Academy."
"I think she's even prettier than the school beauty, her upper body...it's perfect!"
……
"These are my school team's mechs. Pretty cool, right?! But we won't let you see them for free. Let us borrow the mechs you use for practice."
The mechs used for practice are mostly standard mechs, and the military academy discards many of them every year. However, for the Iago Cup, the current practice mechs are all brand new, and are more than one level higher than the standard mechs.
Ashia didn't dare to say a word.
From the moment his brother said he represented an independent military region, I knew he wouldn't leave empty-handed tonight!
Independent military districts have always been like this...
"What are you all doing? Training continues." A stern, drum-like voice rang out.
Su Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in his twenties leading two teenagers.
Surprisingly, they were people they knew: Chesius and Cain.
Perhaps Su Yan's gaze was too direct, because the two of them also looked at her.
However, they only glanced at each other before looking away, seemingly accustomed to beauty and showing no reaction.
Ashia hurriedly stepped forward and said to the group, "Instructor Willie, Ninth Prince, Senior Cain, let me introduce you. This is Rasha, a mecha pilot from the Independent Military District's Paxton Military Academy, and Su Yan, a mecha soldier."
Instructor Willie's gaze swept sharply over Lasha and Su Yan. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, especially when he saw Su Yan.
Obviously, no one expected that the soldier was a girl.
“Where are your instructors?” Willie asked.
Su Yan did not speak.
Lasha chimed in, "We don't have any instructors. The commander is busy cleaning the training grounds and is waiting for us to borrow training mechs to take back. We're really too poor. Instructor Willie, please make an exception."
Willie understood, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "The Independent Military District borrowed ten training mechs the other day. Didn't you get any?"
Su Yan noticed his cryptic expression, but she couldn't blame anyone else; they were there to ask for something.
“No, otherwise why would I come?” Lasha replied.
“If she can last 10 seconds against Cain while piloting the training mech, she’ll be yours,” Chesius suddenly said.
Su Yan's ten fingers were slender and delicate, like flower stamens glistening with pearls, making her look nothing like a mecha soldier known for her strength and muscularity.
Following the old practice of independent military regions, they liked to find people to pool their money to participate in competitions, and nine times out of ten, these were fake individual soldiers.
“It’s a deal!” Su Yan replied immediately. “We also need spare parts for maintaining the mechs, a treatment pod, and some necessary supplies.”
Su Yan couldn't quite articulate what she needed, but as a mecha pilot, Lasha certainly knew, and she looked at him.
Lasha immediately nodded to Su Yan, "That's right, since we're already giving them away, let's give more."
Instructor Willie's face was grim, but since it was Chesius who said it, he couldn't argue. "We'll see if she can last ten seconds."
Lasha quietly asked Su Yan, "What level are you? Cain is an SS-level mecha soldier."
Su Yan replied in a serious tone, "Duck egg level."
Level 0!
Rasha was instantly petrified!
……
Su Yan used a training mecha, as did Cain.
Looking at the ten-meter-tall, silver-iron training mecha, Su Yan couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "It's so beautiful!"
Lasha looked at Su Yan, who seemed completely naive, and thinking about what she had said about Level Zero... her heart sank.
"How do we get up there?" Su Yan asked La Xia.
Lasha's vision went black. "Su Yan, you...you're not messing with me!"
"Playing with you? That's impossible."
"..."
"You're no fun, too skinny. You're all bones when you take your clothes off, no girl would like that. You have to be like His Highness the Ninth Prince, skinny when dressed, but muscular when undressed, that's what's fun."
Su Yan spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the people on the other side to hear.
[Really? The host wants to have a child with this black phoenix?]
【Xiao Mei! I was just being sarcastic, I didn't mean anything by it, don't get agitated.】
[The host might want to consider a male Black Phoenix.]
【Not even considering it!】
Chesius glanced at Su Yan, his gaze seemingly lingering on her figure for a moment before he looked away and ignored her.
Cain looked at Chesius with a questioning gaze... Should we teach him a lesson?
Chesius seemed oblivious to Cain's gaze and simply found a seat in the spectator section.
Students from other training grounds also rushed over to see what was happening.
"Let's try anything, even if it's a dead end!" Lasha turned on her personal terminal and explained the most basic mecha operations to Su Yan, the simplest dodging and attacking techniques...
Su Yan listened very attentively.
Ten minutes later, the practice mechs were all ready.
Cain was the first to enter the mech cabin.
The jumps were clean and crisp, demonstrating effortless skill.
If a mech soldier can't even get into the mech's cockpit, then he should just go somewhere cool and stay somewhere else.
Su Yan lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped into the air. Her first foothold was the mecha's knee joint, the second was her waist, and the third was when she jumped onto the mecha's hatch platform.
Her movements were like dancing, graceful, light, and beautiful.
Lasha felt like she had really been played...
She's playing dumb to outsmart everyone!
