Subconsciously, Aina wanted to break free. However, Wang Zheng didn’t let go as the two of them exchanged gazes. Aina felt a little flustered but also an unexplainable warmth. However, the stronger feelings she had were embarrassment and anger. Nonetheless, when her gaze met Wang Zheng’s gaze, her mind went blank.
Aina gave up on struggling and let Wang Zheng held on to her hand. Butcher was lecturing passionately in front of them. When it came to giving lessons, Butcher was also the kind that was very wilful. He was the classical proponent that the Zerg race would threaten mankind and the Zerg should be eradicated from the world of humans completely.
However, Aina and Wang Zheng clearly couldn’t hear any of this. Aina still quietly withdrew her hand and Wang Zheng finally let go. At that moment, Wang Zheng realized that he had been too rash.
If she wasn’t Xiao Shi and was Princess Aina, would she still fall for the same Wang Zheng?
Whatever Butcher had said, Aina had not heard a single sentence. Aina had fallen into a conflicted state. Why would she extend her hand?
This clearly couldn’t be blamed on Wang Zheng. At that moment, a thought rose from the bottom of her heart. She even desired a hug from Wang Zheng.
Honestly speaking, she had a little admiration for Wang Zheng. However… it shouldn’t be at the level of being obsessed with him.
So embarrassing!
Aina’s face turned even redder. Zhang Shan, Takumi, and the few people around had subconsciously turned their heads to the side. They had really done so subconsciously. It was the Princess of Aslan sitting beside them after all. It would be weird if they didn’t look at her from the start to the end. However, when they saw the shy face of Princess Highness, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
The flame in the heart of Di Maria was burning even stronger now. He did not know what had happened, and it was exactly because he did not know what had happened that made him mad. A noble could get angry too. Wang Zheng had put him on the spot previously. He really didn’t know where he stood and was dreaming of getting together with the Princess.
If they met the Saruman Snake battle team, he would thrash them so badly that they wet their pants!
The truth was that the one that paid the most attention was Lear. Moreover, he was the only one that saw Wang Zheng and Aina holding hands secretly. Frankly speaking, Lear was feeling complicated. As the high and mighty Princess of Aslan, what the hell was going on? What was wrong with the world?
When the lesson ended, raucous claps erupted. Raphael even exchanged Skylink numbers with Wang Zheng after the class so as to keep in contact in the future. Raphael hated those who acted like they knew things when they didn’t. For one from the battle department to have such foundation in the physics of space and dimension, he was truly shocked. Raphael and his friends were fond of people like Wang Zheng. This was because only this could be considered as a real super warrior.
Student Wang was under the spotlight once again. The quarrel with Aslan previously no longer mattered. His deep and solid foundation in the physics of space and dimension made everyone’s views on him changed greatly. Having an additional Ability X was just a type of number after all. However, having knowledge in this field was completely different. No matter if they were his opponents or teammates, they would have to hold him in higher regard.
Luckily, they didn’t know that Wang Zheng was a member of the Genesis Coffee Club. Otherwise, these people would not know what to do anymore.
Aina led the students of Aslan and left. Before she left, she took a glance at Wang Zheng and Wang Zheng’s heart almost melted.
There was a little anticipation in that inexplicable gaze which made Wang Zheng really wanting to tell Aina about everything.
However, that wouldn’t work. He had to keep it in.
“Princess Highness, that Wang Zheng has no respect for anyone. If there’s an opportunity, I will definitely teach him a good lesson,” said Di Maria.
Aina smiled faintly and didn’t reply. Her emotions had gradually calmed down. It should be a form of illusion. Moreover, he was the guy that Huiyin liked. She shouldn’t have any mixed feelings for him and she shouldn’t be feeling mixed emotions about this matter. It was likely to be just an illusion and she should just let bygones be bygones.
“Di Maria, Aslan’s strength isn’t from words. On one hand, we need to show dominance, but on the other, we need to avoid becoming the target of scorn. Otherwise, how different are we from Arbiter?”
Aina said, “You are the captain of Imperial Glory and should learn from the lessons of Hocatolin.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Di Maria had recovered his composure. Wang Zheng wasn’t as easy to deal with as he had imagined and was even a captain. He was not too bad, considering he had defeated Hocatolin in an individual match. Hocatolin could be considered as one of the 10 experts among the younger generation of Aslan and shouldn’t be belittled.
Know your enemies and yourself and you would win a hundred battles in a hundred wars. He needed to understand Wang Zheng deeper, especially his weakness. Di Maria smiled. This was because there was someone that could help him.
When it came to the saying ‘A mountain couldn’t accommodate two tigers,’ no single planet illustrated it better than the Earthlings.
As for Lear, he would be willing to work with Di Maria. This wasn’t limited to this aspect but also on a broader scale. For example, the matters on Tita Star.
This was where the Elite Academy was frightening. One’s level would decide how far one could reach.
If one could graduate from Elite Academy, even if one was the most average person, he would also be well respected outside. It was especially so when it came to international affairs. The identity of being classmates in Elite Academy would often have greater influence than a committee member.
After a day of lessons, Wang Zheng still couldn’t forget the match between Pampas and Dendi. Although they were his opponents, they could still be friends when they were not duelling. It happened to be Takumi’s birthday and therefore he had invited them.
Initially, he had not expected Pampas and Dendi to come. However, when Wang Zheng proposed to have a gathering, Pampas and Dendi were both very happy. The members of the two battle teams had also arrived. In just a moment, it had become livelier.
Takumi was also very happy. Obviously, the final outcome was him being pressed into the cake.
Mu Zhen was the happiest of all. Many things in the lives of humans were fresh and interesting to them.
The next day, the Academy announced the schedule of the third round of competition.
Imperial Glory battle team vs Dark Wolves battle team.
Asura battle team vs Icefire battle team
Saruman Snake battle team vs Dynasty battle team
Eagle battle team vs Star Lya battle team.
Undoubtedly, the most exciting match would be the one between Saruman snake and Dynasty. This was dubbed as the derby match of the Solar System. The two Earthlings had both achieved a lot in the Elite Academy. Undoubtedly, they would leave their names behind in the Elite Academy. Whoever, who was actually stronger? All along, Wang Zheng’s reputation and controversy had been greater. The two of them had both obtained group champions in the individual competition. However, they had not fought officially. Although the Saruman Snake battle team had better results, the Dynasty battle team was more stable. This was the first head-on battle between the two of them.
The members of the Dynasty battle team would not feel too much about it, but Luo Fei was stunned. It had to happen after all.
The meaning behind the match between Wang Zheng and Lear wasn’t just simply about winning or losing. There were still many things between the two of them. Nonetheless, practically speaking, the current Wang Zheng was on a roll. Lear had no chance of winning, and once he failed, the influence would be great.
Before the victor and loser were determined, it would always be 50-50 chance. However, it wasn’t such a case now.
Headache.
However, when Lear saw the schedule on the Skylink, he was very calm and composed. It seemed that he was brimming with confidence.
“Rest assured, Boss. I will definitely finish Zhang Shan off in this match!” The fatty knew that this was not the time to show weakness. Moreover, he was still very confident in dealing with Zhang Shan. Even if Zhang Shan was more ghostly or could run faster, the fatty knew that he got to finish him off. Otherwise, Lear would not spare him.
Lear smiled faintly and said, “What do you think are our chances now?”
The fatty was stunned for a moment and was trying to figure out the meaning behind Lear’s words. Should he be saying the truth or not?
