The match between Xinghai Academy and St. Klito Mecha Academy was scheduled for a week later.

In the interim, the NCLM organizer provides players with a dedicated training venue and conference room.

Every morning, after the school team members finished their daily training, the coach called them together for a meeting to discuss tactics.

Today, Xinghai Academy and St. Klito Academy happened to be be meeting in adjacent conference rooms.

“The personnel for the individual competition and the team competition has been adjusted.” Richard said to the crowd. “He Haomin, you will bring Chi Yu and Kaleb in the next game. Ke Lei, you’ll swap with Ashley. And… Yun Xingze, you will fight in the individual competition.”

Everyone was a little surprised by Richard’s assignments.

After all, Richard didn’t like Yun Xingze very much before, and his attitude was not very good.

They didn’t expect him to trust Yun Xingze so much this time.

“Look, Brother Yun, you will be appreciated once you have strength.” Oriel whispered in Yun Xingze’s ear. “You are much stronger than Chi Yu, Kaleb, and the others…”

However, Yun Xingze’s mood did not ease much because of this. After all, the responsibility laying on his shoulders was heavier in the individual competition.

The following remarks made everyone worry about Yun Xingze’s situation.

“St. Klito has always been strong in individual matches, and they will do anything to win. Although there was no foul last year, the rules were changed several times because of them. In recent years, their actions have been restrained a lot, but their playstyle is still very insidious…”

After speaking, Richard played a video of a team match between St. Klito vs. Yuanshan.

In the video, two St. Klito members entangled Yuanshan’s C position, but they did not quickly eliminate them.

After catching him, the St. Klito players put smoke bombs on him, and then the third person used took out a light whip to “humiliate” him, slapping him on the face.

It didn’t break the rules, but it looked very uncomfortable.

Sure enough, the other two teammates from Yuanshan couldn’t stand it any longer.

The St. Klito players locked the main C position’s mecha joints and threw the entire mecha onto his teammates.

The two teammates wasn’t able to, and couldn’t not catch him. In the end, the player fell to the ground.

Because of this, the remaining two Yuanshan players were surrounded and suppressed by the three St. Klito players and fell to the ground.

Everyone thought that their behavior was very excessive.

However, when they saw the performance of a St. Klito player in the individual competition, their expressions became more solemn.

This player is called Bai Jiashi, and he drives an S+ comet mecha. He is like a snake and scorpion in the individual competition, and his methods are insidious and vicious.

In the video, he stepped on the back of his opponent’s mecha. As the referee counted down, he removed the other party’s mecha’s fingers one by one.

The sound of the mecha’s fingers breaking was consistent with the referee’s countdown, clear and loud.

In ten seconds, Bai Jiashi removed exactly ten fingers.

The player whose mecha’s fingers were broken will probably have a psychological shadow hearing referee countdowns in the future.

“This…” Oriel couldn’t believe it. “This fighting method is too disgusting.”

Richard said solemnly: “They are not weak, and their coaches personally teach them how to disgust their enemies. Even Noah Military Academy, last year’s champion, did not want to face them. There will be another fierce battle next week. So before that, I hope all of you can adjust your combat style…”

Richard opened a file and listed a detailed training plan for everyone.

Yun Xingze took a look and found that Richard hoped that he could fight less on bright side, and use more dirty tactics. That is to say, he hoped that he would become more insidious.

Yun Xingze said to Richard: “Coach, I think I’m quite insidious. Teacher Zhuo praises me for being immoral.”

“Facing St. Klito, it’s not enough,” Richard said seriously. “Not only do you have to rid yourself of morality, you also have to get rid of human nature. It is better to be more sinister than them. If you can’t do it, let your cat do it.”

Yun Xingze thought that Richard was joking, but the amazing thing was that his teammates all showed expressions of approval.

Yun Xingze could only answer: “…I will try my best.”

At the same time, members of St. Klito were having a meeting in the conference room nextdoor.

Gamma, St. Klito’s coach, said to everyone: “Our goal is to win. Please remember that St. Klito Mecha Academy represents the hope and glory of our Black Swan Galaxy. It is our duty to win this game.”

The Black Swan Galaxy is located in a remote galaxy. Only a little further away is the borderland which contains the Empire’s barren planets.

In the past, Black Swan Galaxy developed very slowly because of their sparse resources and small population.

However, the sudden emergence of St. Klito Mecha Academy as a strong rookie in the NCLM attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Empire.

Since then, the Black Swan Galaxy has obtained unprecedented resources. Over the past decade, various developmental indicators have risen significantly.

Many people say that Black Swan Galaxy civilians can finally hope for the future.

And St. Klito Mecha Academy is the starting point of this hope.

Therefore, everyone on the St. Klito school team knew one thing in their hearts – they couldn’t lose the game and have their galaxy return to the way it used to be.

Gamma sent the information to the optical brains of the school team members. “The weakness of Xinghai Academy’s players are all here. You must memorize everything, so no matter who you meet, you can use it against them.”

Each school team will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the other party’s mechas.

But only St. Klito is different. They will not only analyze the opponent’s mecha strength, but also analyze their opponent’s human weaknesses.

Seizing an opponent’s mecha weaknesses and human weaknesses, using all means to exploit those weaknesses, and even repeatedly treading the edge of the rules… this is St. Klito’s fighting style.

“Are there any opponents that need special attention this time?” Bai Jiashi, captain of St. Klito, asked the coach.

Gamma closed his eyes and replied, “Luo Wenchuan is naturally a very troublesome player. But in addition, there is one other person who needs attention.”

Bai Jiashi looked at the information on the virtual screen, and saw a name was circled – Yun Xingze.

“This guy’s origin is unknown. He is an omega, and he knows a lot of fancy moves.” At this point, Gamma sneered. “An omega’s shortcomings are obvious – lack of physical strength. No matter who encounters him, exhaust his physical strength. At the end of the day, when the time comes, you can play casually. It is best to start ruthlessly, and then step on him a few times before winning. This way he will have a psychological shadow, which will make fighting him easier when we encounter them in the future.”

Bai Jiashi blinked his long and narrow eyes and asked, “Coach, isn’t this too cruel?”

“Isn’t this what you’re best at?” Gamma asked instead.

Bai Jiashi raised his lips and smiled harmlessly. “Then I have to meet him. I will feel distressed if he is not my enemy. After all, he is an omega.”

There was a bit of pity in his tone.

When the two school teams finished their respective meetings, the two sides came out, and bumped into each other.

The air was quiet.

Compared to Jicot’s arrogance, St. Klito looked much more low-key. There is a bit of simplicity from those from a backward galaxy, but there is also untamed wildness.

Gamma stepped forward first and smiled brightly. “I didn’t expect to meet you here…” He exchanged a few words with Richard very enthusiastically.

Afterwards, Gamma looked at Yun Xingze and said with admiration: “Oh, an omega, your school is really good. I don’t know who has the honor to PK with you. Bai Jiashi, what do you think?”

Bai Jiashi also stepped forward. He glanced at Yun Xingze curiously, and then showed a simple smile: “It’s still the soil and water of the Imperial Capital that’s better at nurturing people. St. Klito Star does not have such a good-looking omega, nor is there one in the entire Black Swan Galaxy.”

Hearing these words, Luo Wenchuan felt a little uncomfortable, and moved to block their eyes.

“I heard that you guys won Jicot.” Gamma raised his lips, looking at the members of the Xinghai school team. “It’s really unexpected.”

Yun Xingze always felt that there was a knife hidden in this coach’s smile.

Bai Jiashi’s scrutinizing eyes also made him feel very uncomfortable.

Like a hunter spying on his prey.

“It’s really unbelievable that you can win Yuanshan Academy.” Yun Xingze raised his eyes to look at Gamma and said with a smile.

The atmosphere became a little colder at this moment.

“I’m really looking forward to the next game.” Eyes sweeping over Yun Xingze, Gamma’s smile faded. “I really want to know, how long will your good luck last?”

“We never rely on good luck.” Richard said with a blank face. “Gama, you are still the same as before. The way you talk is annoying.”

“Really? Why I don’t believe that.” Gamma said slowly. “Then we will wait and see…”

After speaking, he showed a polite smile again and left with the St. Klito group.

The two teams walked back one after another. The people from St. Klito seemed to be at ease, while those from Xinghai Academy couldn’t smile.

Even a mature-minded person like Yun Xingze found it hard to believe that the cruel and insidious person in that individual competition video just now, was the innocent looking alpha – Bai Jiashi.

In the following days, members of the Xinghai school team increased their training during the day.

This wasn’t only because St. Klito is a difficult opponent, but also because they were uncomfortable with St. Klito’s behavior.

Everyone in the Xinghai school team is unwilling to lose to such a team.

At night, just as Yun Xingze returned to his room, he saw Luo Wenchuan moving a game cabin.

“Why… why did you bring this here?” Yun Xingze asked in astonishment.

Luo Wenchuan looked at Yun Xingze, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Accompany you to find your desire to win. And discuss tactics along the way.”

Yun Xingze scratched his head: “Senior, it’s so late, this really is troubling you…”

“Didn’t you say it,” Luo Wenchuan said. “Only I can inspire your desire to win. Since this is the case, then I have an obligation to accompany you to practice.”

Seeing Luo Wenchuan working hard, Yun Xingze could only accept and help him bring the game cabin over.

It didn’t take long for the two to log in to Mecha Star at the same time.

However, when Yun Xingze looked for the name “L” on the leaderboard, he found it was missing.

The ID in first place was changed to “Then I will protect you”.

“What’s the matter?” Yun Xingze got out of the game cabin and knocked on the cabin next door. “Dachuan, Dachuan, your number one spot is gone.”

Luo Wenchuan’s game cabin door opened. He stuck his head out, hair a little messy from just taking off his helmet.

He looked at Yun Xingze with his long and narrow eyes, and his tone was calm: “Gone?”

Yun Xingze nodded: “Yes, the first one became another ID…”

Luo Wenchuan pretended to be serious and said: ” However, I just checked, and I’m clearly still at the top of the rankings.”

After speaking, Luo Wenchuan returned to the game cabin, and the cabin door closed automatically.

Confused, Yun Xingze could only return to the game cabin. Just as he was about to double-check the rankings, he saw many messages sent over.

Clicking on one, he saw it was from Xi Bolai.

[Please eat shaved ice]: “Why are you like this?! While saying that you don’t have time to PK, you have time to fall in love with others?!”

[Please eat shaved ice]: “Is this game for you to fall in love?! Get a couple’s name?! Are you naive? Do you still have any career aspirations!”

Yun Xingze was stunned.

In the next second, he suddenly realized what the Xi Bolai words meant.

 

Hehehe. Who thinks LWC’s action is one of those dumb, sweet things? ‍️
