Chapter 039: Departure

(Edited)

Following the major mech competition, the military training examinations go on as planned. As far as those who earnestly participated in their training, those people had absolutely no trouble passing through. This exams passing rate of the new students had reached 100%. Originally after passing the exams, they should have still been formally attending classes, however, this year coincidently coincides with the 600th Anniversary of the Lacey Empire. The capital of the constellation of Cepheus is about to hold a large-scale celebration. All human-inhabited planets within the imperial regime are on a vacation for 10 days.

A full 10-day vacation is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for students to relax. Many students can just go home to see their parents or amuse themselves by traveling to other regions.

However, for Lin Yuan and Caesar, every minute of the 10-day vacation has become extremely valuable.

  —Because they must go to the capital of the constellation of Cepheus to undergo pre-match training.

Unlike the single-player matches held in the school, the National Finals are all group-based team competitions, divided into an obstacle course, stress competition, tactical competition, and as well as the final group showdown. Each event has its own grading criteria. The team competitions not only have extremely strict requirements on the individual ability of each player but it also pays attention to the teamwork between the groups. There is an additional stipulation from the Mech Association that all of the competing schools go to the capital star for training three days prior to the competition.

(TN: Word for word what it said, I even asked an undoubtedly more proficient translator than myself (I love her translation of Seizing Dreams, I'm still fangirling about that) and alas no clue what kind of competition this is lol. Lord Google offered me nothing, if it's ever mentioned again with more detail I'll come back and change the name.)

The military instructor who will lead the group to Cepheus is currently Lieutenant Colonel Knox.

On February 27th, Lieutenant Colonel Knox summoned the top ten students to convene together. He spoke seriously: "The National Finals is a school-based group competition. Everyone bear in mind that from here on out, all of you act as one unit, honor is won together and failure is lost together! Our school has won the title of champion in the National Finals for four consecutive years. This year's championship trophy must not be lost! I hope that you can trust each other and cooperate together to display the best talent in our school! "

Everyone immediately earnestly replied back: "Understood! Instructor!"

Knox nodded. "Tomorrow morning, at 7:00 on the dot, we will convene at the school gate. I will be taking you to the final competition at the capital star for the three-day match pre-training. I'm sure by now you're thoroughly aware of the rules and regulations of the competition. After arriving in the capital star, your meals and accommodations are all taken care of by the Mech Association. If you want to meet any friends in private or go to other places to mess around, you must request a leave of absence from me."

  Knox paused for a moment and with a penetrating gaze looked at the faces of the ten students one by one: "Does everyone understand that?"

Everyone immediately replied with bright voices: "We understand, Instructor!"

Walking back to the dormitory, Lin Yuan felt somewhat suspicious and asked: "Caesar, was the master who guided me before senior Leo?"
