For the few of them who had came to Elite Academy X from the Solar System, they were like a minor wave in the big ocean in the entire school. Regardless of how splendidly they thought of themselves, they were just dust to everyone.
Just that some people did not feel the same way. Both Lie Xin and Lie Guang were also pretty enthusiastic in school. It was to the extent that no news was heard about them for a long period of time.
With their usual characters, they were the people who loved to cause a scene and they had suddenly became so quiet. What could this mean?
“I heard that Lear and Luo Fei also managed to think of a way and they transferred to another part of the Academy?” Lie Xin asked
Lie Guang nodded. “I really have no idea what Lear is thinking. He put in so much effort and it’s all just for a change of places.”
“You are wrong, he is actually being really smart.” Lie Xin said. Recently, she also felt that she was improving very quickly. Ever since the return of the Sage Sect, she had felt that her speed of improvement was twice of that previously. If it was her previous self, she would probably had just quit school right away. As if it was a situation where one did not have any competitive strength at all, it would be better for one to return back to Mars to take care of theirr own business, rather than wasting their time in the Elite Academy.
However, now it was completely different, one just needed time to accumulate their advantages. But in terms of techniques and understanding, as compared with those top powerful nations, there were still some disparity between the two. But, this was not something that they could catch up easily in, it would absolutely require lots of focus.
“Smart?” Lie Guang found it a little hard to understand. Everyone all chose to gather together now, but there were already very few of us who were from the Solar System. “Sis, the other time when Lear suggested to set up our own association of townsmen, even you yourself also did not seem quite interested, and I think it somehow struck a blow to Lear.
“Regardless of Lear or Achilles, actually it was all done for one purpose, which was for them to not be in the same place as Wang Zheng.”
“Why?” Lie Guang still could not understand. “Everyone can just learn their own thing, and nobody would be disturbing anyone. Besides, Wang Zheng’s character is not too bad.”
Lie Xin laughed. “You are so unambitious. What kind of person do you think Lear and Achilles are? Achilles went to the Vermilion Bird Academy right away without even taking his I.D., just so to avoid Wang Zheng.”
Lie Guang was not very convinced. “Over at Vermilion Bird side it’s full of experts, the stress of competition would be even greater…”
Lie Xin shook her head. “That’s not it. Essentially, Achilles and Lear are both not afraid of any competition. In fact, the stronger the competition, the better it is. However, Wang Zheng is an exception, as Wang Zheng’s existence would be able to destroy other people’s momentum. Regardless of where he was, you would not be able to help but to notice him. But at the current stage, if you pay too much attention to him, it would only affect your own improvement. Achilles had started to realise this, thus he went to the Vermilion Bird Academy. It’s obvious that Lear had also realised this, so he also left after his unsuccessful attempt of setting up an association of townsmen. His departure meant that he has great ambition.”
“Tsk, so complicated. So sis, does this mean that we should also leave?”
Lie Xin laughed and shook her head. “There’s no need for us to leave.”
“Why? As Martians we also have great ambitions. No matter what, the Earth and the Moon had been glorious previously. Initially, it was going to be Mars’ turn but at that moment, interstellar navigation came, and it also resulted in us missing the best opportunity and led to our downfall. So how can we miss the opportunity this time round?” Lie Guang was also improving very quickly recently and the power of the 32 Point Lie Flame Technique was indeed exceptional.
“Hehe, alike poles repel. There’s no such problem between me and Wang Zheng.”
“Sigh sis, opposite sexes attract. You need to be careful, don’t suffer a double loss.” Lie Guang teased. “But again, that guy’s looks are not too bad. It’s just a pity that…”
Lie Xin shook her head. “You don’t have to think about the Aslan princess, it is absolutely not possible for Wang Zheng and Aina to get together. By now, they probably have no more relations with one another. This is not important, I do agree with you that Wang Zheng is a pretty charming guy, but I am not interested in him. However, to conquer him, you would require strength and that is not a small challenge. But one day, when my strength is able to firmly restrain him, then it would be the time for our Mars to rise up!
Wang Zheng had already become the target of Lie Xin. If she was unable to defeat Wang Zheng, it would be just idle banter for wanting Mars to rise up. There was indeed one point that was different between males and females, Wang Zheng would not cause Lie Xin’s stress, instead, it could become a type of motivation.
Lie Guang shrugged his shoulders. “It doesn’t really matter. Sis, where your sword points to would be where I would be rushing towards. This Elite Academy is really pretty good!”
Lie Guang was often in contact with Zhang Shan, the both of them were quite alike. At that time when they met during IG, their relationship had already been pretty good. And coming here, there were lesser people whom they were familiar with, and even lesser people with similar temperaments.
Mecha class was no doubt of the utmost importance over here, it was a compulsory course for both the combat department and support department. There was also a clear difference between the mecha class at the Elite Academy and other places. Over here, the requirements were undoubtedly the highest in the Solar System. However, the classes here all followed a sequence, for them to lay down their foundation first then make steady progress incrementally. And all the classes which Wang Zheng attended before were theory classes.
For the usual military Academies, the focus was on the physical control of mecha. But over here, it was mainly on how to fully put your ability X into use during mecha battles. Those that treat ability X as a large-scale release and one time use were seen to be wastrels, and it would get one nowhere over here.
Of course, Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan both fell into this category. Student Wang would basically go all out at the final juncture, then he would consider it to be over. As for Zhang Shan, his space warping ability in itself was his big move. He had no idea how to use them separately.
There was nothing that could be done if they were in other common places, but it did not mean that was also nothing that could be done over here. Even if it was Zhang Shan’s ability, he could still learn how to control it more finely.
The intrinsic quality of Zhang Shan was that he was considered to be someone with a space ability. This did not belong to minor five elements, but actually belonged to the greater five elements. To put it simply, Zhang Shan was a genius, even if he was placed here, it would also be the same. And the things that he needed to learn were also only available here. Space warping was only one manifestation of his ability and it was considered to be instinctive. And actually, there were many more directions which he could develop and learning.
There was one concept for inducing abilities over here.
In any case, such a small confusion allowed Zhang Shan’s name to be a little more know. After all, even over here, there were still very few people who was good at this type of ability.
After finishing a whole day of classes, it was the weekend. Not only could everyone take a break, they could also stroll around Roland Garros.
The Elite Academy was not confined. But of course, the tools of inner Roland was absolutely not allowed to be brought out. Any student who violated the school rules would not be dealt with nicely, hence no one would be dumb to such an extent.
However, Wang Zheng received an invitation. One invitation that he would not be able to reject. It was from Gail.
It was his granddaughter’s 19th birthday, and he was inviting Wang Zheng and his friends to join in. What Gail meant was that he wanted it to be more lively, the more the merrier.
Even though old man Gail’s temperament was a little terrible, but he really treated Wang Zheng very well. He must definitely attend such an event consider that his granddaughter was a senior from Class Xuan-1,
At first he had wanted to ask Zhang Shan to go with him, but student Zhang Shan had already received the invitation. It was Yan Ge who invited him, and it was said that there would be at least a few dozen people. There would be people from the Xuan grade, and also quite a few from the Huang grade, especially people from Class Huang-1. And they were said to be Mo Ling’s best friends who had grew up together with her.
