433-434

433 The First Men's Military Academy!

Night had descended, and the staff members at the registration hall who had been bustling around all afternoon could finally relax. The spaceport was about to close; almost all of the participating schools had already arrived ...

That staff member who had promised to pass on a message for Luo Chao and Han Xuya picked up the paper note in the drawer of the counter, his expression troubled.

"Big Brother Xu, why haven't you gone to eat?" It was already time for them to eat, so they were preparing to leave the hall. The one called Brother Xu sighed and said, "You all go ahead. Let me stay here alone."

That person saw the note in Brother Xu's hand and winked at him, saying, "So it's all because of the obligation those beauties entrusted to you, Big Brother Xu!" He did not forget to knock shoulders with Brother Xu after saying this.

Big Brother Xu shoved the other, annoyed, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Just go away and eat."

Seeing the other grinning cheekily as he packed up his things to leave with the crowd, Big Brother Xu thought for a moment and said, "Help me buy a takeaway meal." Since he had made a promise, he would fulfil it.

"Got it, got it. I won't bother you from carrying out the duty a beauty has requested of you." That person waved and said nonchalantly.

Big Brother Xu smiled helplessly — even though the beauties were part of the reason, it was still mostly because he did not want to break a promise.

Soon, the hall had become silent and only Big Brother Xu was left sitting in the working area. He opened his communicator and began to browse through the relevant information on the year's Mecha Grand Tournament.

"So it turns out that other than Qiao Ting from the First Men's Military Academy, the Second and Third Men's Academies are not willing to just roll over either. They've actually sent out sixth-years who have also achieved ace operator level ... looks like this tournament will be a clash among tigers and dragons.

"Even the Federal Co-ed Military Academy those two girls are from has a pretty good team leader. Lin Xiao ... I remember him. Eh? Not even indicating his mecha level. The last tournament, he had participated as well. Back then, as a third-year, he was already a special-class operator. Now that he's a sixth-year, he can't have stopped at special-class operator, right?" Big Brother Xu's eyes were pensive. He still remembered Lin Xiao, mostly because this name sounded so similar to that of his idol Ling Xiao's. It had made an impression on him.

"The tournament this year will be really interesting. These academies ... in order to suppress the First Men's Military Academy, they have actually sent out sixth-year students. It's been many years since sixth-years have appeared in this tournament. I had almost forgotten that military academies are run on a six-year system," muttered Big Brother Xu to himself.

"Which academies have sent sixth-years, Big Brother? Can you tell me about them?" Suddenly, a voice rang out by Big Brother Xu's ear. Brother Xu's heart clenched in fright and he snapped his head up, only to see a large head before his eyes. It was pillowed on the registration counter, staring at him with curious eyes.

Brother Xu calmed himself and only then noticed that two people had abruptly appeared out of mid-air in the hall. One of them was the handsome youth before him, staring at him curiously, while the other had his back to him and was looking at the door as if waiting for something.

"Hey, Big Brother, I'm asking you. Which schools have sent sixth-years? Tell me quickly please," The handsome youth flashed a wide grin, so sunny that it could not be refused.
