Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: Star Era Guide (37)
[Miss, what are you afraid of? We have money, let’s throw it at her!] Rich people aren’t afraid of these little difficulties.
Chuzheng: “…”
“Looks like the Mecha tournament will end up at the bottom again this year.” Professor Wei furrowed his brow.
Previously, he thought with Xie Wanwan, a student with Psychic Power A, they could finally lift their heads high. Who knew Xie Wanwan would do something like this.
Empire Academy also has requirements for the character of its students. With this kind of behavior, Empire Academy surely won’t accept her again.
The result was that she ended up transferring to another school.
–
Xie Wanwan transferred to the Empire Science Academy, and all those incidents were kept under wraps, so no one knew what she’d done before, allowing her to thrive at Empire Science Academy.
The Mecha tournament was also being prepared with great urgency.
Xie Wanwan participated as a new student, and although she hadn’t been exposed to Mechas before, her spiritual power was strong, and her compatibility was decent. After training, she quickly became able to operate a Mecha independently.
By the time the Mecha tournament started, Xie Wanwan was already the strongest among the new students.
“This time, Wanwan is definitely going to be the first among new students.”
“Hahaha, of course! Our Wanwan is so amazing.”
Xie Wanwan was surrounded by a group of students. Her face was adorned with a smile: “Don’t say that, there are so many participants, many hidden talents. It’s not certain I can get first place.”
“I’ve asked around, there aren’t any notable figures.” Someone immediately vouched: “Wanwan, rest assured, you’re definitely the number one freshman.”
“Don’t speak too soon, or you might end up embarrassed.” A voice interjected from the side.
Empire Science Academy students turned toward the direction of the voice.
A few students from Empire Academy were standing not far away, watching them… primarily focused on Xie Wanwan.
Xie Wanwan disappeared after delivering a Mecha to the Wun Family.
Coincidentally, when delivering the Mecha to the Wun Family, rumors spread that she was the long-lost daughter of the Wun Family.
But as it turned out, the long-lost daughter of the Wun Family was not her at all.
The Empire Academy folks thought she couldn’t face anyone, so she didn’t dare come to school.
No one expected Xie Wanwan would transfer schools.
Empire Science Academy students immediately started mocking: “Hah, I wondered who it was, turns out it’s someone from the top school that’s been at the bottom every year.”
At this point, top school had become a derogatory term.
Empire Academy students looked grim: “Xie Wanwan, you’re really something. You transferred to Empire Science Academy thinking no one would know what you’ve done?”
Xie Wanwan’s expression soured slightly upon the appearance of Empire Academy students.
“Don’t talk to them, let’s go,” Xie Wanwan called out to her companions.
She knew these people couldn’t possibly know about the Identity Chip incident.
But the talk about her being the Wun Family’s daughter, that was definitely going to be brought up.
Xie Wanwan resented her previous roommate.
Blamed her big mouth!
But Xie Wanwan forgot, she had intentionally stirred up that matter herself.
“Why are you leaving?” Empire Academy students blocked them: “Xie Wanwan, you spread rumors claiming you were the Wun Family’s daughter, how can you be so impressive?”
Empire Science Academy students looked at Xie Wanwan in confusion.
Isn’t the Wun Family’s daughter called Chuzheng?
Now everyone in the Star Era knows.
Xie Wanwan clenched her fist, calmly said: “I never said that, it wasn’t me.”
Xie Wanwan shifted the blame onto her former roommate.
Empire Academy: “…”
“Xie Wanwan, speak honestly. If it wasn’t you, how did she know? Also, at the time, you didn’t refute. When the Wun Family delivered the Mecha, you eagerly wanted to go forward…”
Empire Science Academy students interrupted them: “Stop sowing discord here, we’ll see you in the arena!”
“Wanwan, let’s go.”
“Don’t mind them, they’re just upset you joined our academy.”
“Wanwan, don’t stoop to their level.”
Xie Wanwan left surrounded by people, leaving Empire Academy students with livid expressions.
–
The first day was just the opening ceremony without any matches, but everyone had to attend.
Leaders from each school, heads from various families, and even big figures from some legions would show up.
The opening ceremony had performances. Chuzheng was bored watching, Jing Lan even more so, sitting there drinking.
Xiao Jiu stayed in a corner, she was a nobody, being able to enter here took countless blessings from past generations, so of course it was better to quietly watch.
Chen Junting went to meet the big shots.
Professor Wei and Professor Wang were arguing.
“Look at the good student you taught!” Professor Wei lamented.
Professor Wang was silent.
“Psychic Power A+, yet such poor character, doing this kind of thing, now ran over to Empire Science Academy! Empire Science Academy people look down on us, this year’s pressure will be immense.”
Professor Wang continued his silence.
Professor Wei fumed: “Why aren’t you saying something?”
Professor Wang: “What should I say?”
Professor Wei: “Shouldn’t you reflect on your student doing such a thing?”
Professor Wang: “…”
He thinks I’m picking on him!
He had only taught Xie Wanwan for a short time. Who knew what kind of person she used to be?!
Professor Wei chattered on, criticizing Professor Wang.
Professor Wang endured until the end of the opening ceremony, then immediately shook his sleeves and left.
After the opening ceremony ends, most would leave.
“Don’t leave,” Professor Wei grabbed Jing Lan, speaking to Chuzheng instead: “Chuzheng, you haven’t seen a Mecha match before, right? Stay and take a look.”
He knew it was pointless to speak to Jing Lan.
“I…”
“Take a look,” Jing Lan spoke voluntarily.
“Yes, yes!” Professor Wei immediately echoed: “Take a look, there’s nothing to lose.”
Chuzheng leaned closer to Jing Lan: “Are you okay?”
Jing Lan’s breath smelled of wine: “I’m not that fragile.”
Chuzheng: “…”
That’s not certain.
What if the scenery triggers you and you go dark?
–
Turns out, Jing Lan was strong inside.
Though occasionally watching the matches, he would be lost in thought, who knows what he’s thinking.
Now it’s a contest between academies, conducted according to grade, and schools draw lots to decide whom to compete against.
Empire Academy was in luck, drawn against a school with relatively weak capability.
After two rounds, they hadn’t lost.
However, those eliminated so far were from schools with weak abilities. If Empire Academy couldn’t win these, Empire Academy’s Mecha department really deserves to be criticized.
Professor Wei was constantly motivating the students.
Empire Academy’s Mecha loses every year, and everyone was under significant pressure.
Xie Wanwan’s side was going smoothly, winning across the board as if on a cheat.
Xie Wanwan became the most watched rookie in this year’s new Mecha tournament.
Once the insignificant schools were mostly eliminated, the matchups among prestigious schools began.
Empire Academy dodged Empire Science Academy in their first draw, which was fortunate; otherwise, they would have been eliminated in the first round.
“Go for it, relax, it’s no different from regular training!”
Before the match, Professor Wei encouraged the competing students, telling them not to be overly burdened mentally.
