Su Ya and Tao Xiu were having a cold war that morning, so she had no intention of going out for dinner or attending class early. She went to the living room to get some water and saw Tao Rui coming out of his room. She asked, "So early? Breakfast or supplements? I ordered a few new flavors of supplements. Want to try them? They're delicious."

Tao Rui shook his head. "No, thank you. I'm going to have breakfast with Ye Jia. You know, when we first got together, we wanted to be together 24 hours a day, just like you did back then."

Su Ya was at a loss for words when she heard the phrase "I value love over friendship." She smiled and jokingly said, "I didn't expect you to become so cheerful after falling in love. I should have introduced girls to you earlier."

Tao Rui opened the dormitory door and shrugged. "I've met so many girls, haven't I? Things like this really depend on fate. Only Ye Jia is the right one. I'm leaving now. I can't be late. Bye."

Su Ya suddenly doubted her own judgment. She'd thought Tao Rui had a crush on her, wasn't that right? Tao Rui was clearly implying that he'd finally come to his senses after meeting Ye Jia. So, what was the point of all his previous concern and attention? Was it just fun?

Su Ya went out, too. She ate at a reputable breakfast restaurant nearby, did some shopping at the automated supermarket, and strolled around campus before heading to class. She didn't run into Tao Rui or Ye Jia. She didn't know why she wanted to run into them, but she probably just wanted to see if Tao Rui and Ye Jia were really that good, to confirm her guilt.

In fact, they didn't meet because Tao Rui had a lunch date with the instructor that morning. He, Ye Jia, and the instructor were eating in a private room in the restaurant, so Su Ya didn't see them.

The instructor is responsible for all daily affairs of the students. As Tao Rui is the eldest son of the commander-in-chief, it is of course no problem for them to have a meal together.

The instructor was quite puzzled, as the original owner didn't like to communicate with others, and this was the first time he had approached him. He couldn't figure out the reason, but he felt it could only be because Tao Xiu had recently been fond of challenging Tao Rui. However, he couldn't interfere in the affairs of the two princes.

During breakfast, the instructor looked worried and kept alerting Tao Rui, asking him to intervene and take care of Tao Xiu. But when Tao Rui opened his mouth, he actually said that he didn't want to stay overnight.

The instructor was stunned. "Tao Rui, you don't want to live in school? Do you have any reason?"

The school dormitories were very nice, close to classes and training rooms, and without too many regulations, making them feel like home. Everyone was happy living in the dorms, and almost no one wanted to live outside. His first thought was that his roommates were having problems.

Tao Rui smiled and said, "It's my personal reasons. The instructor knows my level isn't high, and I've been trying to break through, but always failing. Going to the training room to train, I often run into classmates, which I find a bit inconvenient. I plan to renovate a room in my apartment outside that's suitable for training and treatment. A relatively closed and safe environment might be conducive to improving my strength."

"Is that so?" The instructor understood instantly. Tao Rui was an unwelcome prince. Being laughed at by his classmates in the training room was embarrassing, and it would also bring shame to the commander. Training on his own was indeed better. He agreed readily. Such a simple matter made him relax and smile. "Just want to arrange for a dormitory? Then just go to my office and do it. No need to be so polite."

Tao Rui smiled and said, "It's not just this one thing. There's another one. Instructor, my younger brother has been really into sparring with me lately. Every time we fight, our fights last much longer than others. Do you think he's wasting everyone's time?"

The instructor's heart tightened and he looked at Tao Rui. Honestly, he didn't quite know what to do. He was just a teacher.

Tao Rui didn't give him any difficult questions and continued, "I think the strength of the students in this class is so different that random fighting like this won't be very helpful in improving their strength. Instructor, I have a suggestion. Can we change the actual combat to a simulated mecha cabin battle? This way, we only need to use mental strength and combat skills, without actually hurting the students' bodies. It consumes very little energy and is easier to operate."

We have special courses for physical training, and shouldn't the mecha combat class be about learning combat skills? What do you think, instructor?

This proposal was feasible and perfectly solved the problem of the two princes fighting every day. The instructor thought about it seriously, and then stood up without even eating and said, "Your suggestion is very good. I will discuss it with the principal. You guys can eat slowly."

After he left, Ye Jia asked worriedly, "Will the instructor agree?"

"Yes, he certainly doesn't want to go to class feeling nervous."

Ye Jia looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Are you on bad terms with your brother? Why did he cause you trouble? Can you tell me?"

Tao Rui: "It's nothing inconvenient. Just as the outside world speculated, we brothers are not on good terms. He has been giving me trouble recently. He's probably jealous. He's secretly in love with Su Ya."

"Huh?" Ye Jia's eyes widened in surprise. "Who are you talking about? Su Ya? Isn't she a Beta?"

"Whatever she is, they're together anyway. I'm not interested in getting involved with them. I'm moving out after class today. I don't think they'll find fault with me anymore."

Ye Jia frowned and said, "Tao Xiu is going too far. Why would he maliciously provoke you? We're going to have another mecha class soon. Otherwise, you should speak up quickly this time. This is your first time challenging someone else. That way, you can choose someone else, and he can't choose you."

Tao Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll see what the instructor arranges when the time comes. Have you finished eating? Shall we go to class?"

"We're done eating, let's go."

The mecha class was in a very open space. When they walked past, many classmates looked over. Ye Jia was a little embarrassed and whispered, "It seems like this is the first time we've been here together."

"We can be together every day from now on." Tao Rui smiled at her and asked, "Do you want to sit with Fang Tong? Or with me?"

This was a good question. Ye Jia looked up and looked for Fang Tong, who quickly gestured to her and helped her solve the problem. Fang Tong was already sitting with the other friends, so Ye Jia was of course with her boyfriend.

Some students were a little surprised, not expecting the eldest prince to have a girlfriend. Others had already noticed that the original owner was pursuing Ye Jia, and were a little curious about what it would be like for the usually quiet eldest prince to fall in love, as he seemed to have become a little gentler.

Tao Xiu also saw them. Because he was upset about the cold war with Su Ya, he walked straight to Tao Rui and said with a smile: "Tao Rui, you look good today. Did you use the treatment cabin?"

The original owner's previous behavior of not using the treatment cabin was really counterproductive. When Tao Xiu said this sarcastically, two or three classmates around him couldn't help laughing.

Tao Rui glanced around, and his laughter immediately died down. No matter how unpopular he was, he was still the eldest prince, and no one would dare to offend him.

Tao Rui nodded and said, "Of course you need to use the treatment cabin when you're injured. I didn't use it a few days ago. I was just recording the recovery of various injuries and researching ways to improve my physical fitness."

"So you've figured it out now? What did you find out?"

Tao Rui lowered his head, put his hands in his pockets, looked up at Tao Xiu, and smiled, "Tao Xiu, do you know? Any research is a long process. Trying to figure something out in just a few days is a disgrace to research. However, every researcher who puts in the hard work should be respected, because without them, we wouldn't have what we have now. The way you said this is too disrespectful. You can disrespect your brother, but please respect the act of research."

Tao Xiu's face turned cold. "You're quite the talker today. Are you ready to accept my challenge? You're not going to be a coward and try to escape, are you?"

"Tao Xiu! You're going too far!" Ye Jia couldn't bear to listen any longer. Tao Xiu deliberately came over and said these words, wasn't he afraid that Tao Rui would challenge others first, leaving him no chance to teach Tao Rui a lesson? This kind of bullying was really too much.

Tao Rui grabbed Ye Jia, shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Are you afraid that I'll run away from the fight? How could that be? Anyway, even if you're an S-rank Alpha, you can't possibly use all your strength to hurt me. Otherwise, if you lose control and kill me, it would become an assassination attempt on the prince. So, as long as there's a treatment cabin, what do I have to fear?"

"You said I hurt you on purpose?"

Tao Xiu reached out and tried to grab Tao Rui's collar, but Tao Rui pinched the acupuncture point on his wrist and used his strength to neutralize it. He smiled faintly and said, "The class hasn't started yet, don't break the school rules. The instructor is here, go back to your seat."

The instructor did come, and seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he said loudly, "Everyone, please sit down. I have an important announcement to make."

Tao Xiu glanced at Tao Rui coldly, strode back to his seat, and looked unhappy.

The instructor, upon seeing this, was even more convinced that his decision to persuade the principal was correct. He stood before everyone and said, "After analyzing the effectiveness of professional training, I believe that free-to-play challenges will drain students' energy and not significantly improve their strength. Therefore, we've decided to switch this course to virtual combat in a mecha cabin. This way, no one will get hurt, and we can both practice combat techniques."

After greatly reducing physical exertion, perhaps we can increase the number of practice sessions. The principal has agreed, so now everyone, follow me to the mecha training room. Starting from this class, we will move our classes there."

Everyone looked at Tao Rui first, and then at Tao Xiu.

Tao Xiu stood up and said, "I object! Instructor, when you go to the battlefield, you won't only encounter weak enemies. Free challenges perfectly suit this randomness, allowing everyone to adapt to various opponents and gain experience."

The instructor nodded. "As you said, virtual combat can also provide exercise. It also protects everyone's health and conserves energy, allowing everyone to continue practicing in the training room after class. The principal and I both think this is a good change, and it's already been announced. Okay, everyone, get moving! Class is about to begin."

The instructor clearly didn't want to discuss the matter further, and Tao Xiu wasn't foolish enough to continue objecting. Everyone started moving around, moving to the mecha training room.

The classmates kept glancing at Tao Rui. They wouldn't believe him even if they were beaten to death. So was the eldest prince trying to strike back? Had he finally gotten enough of being lectured by the younger prince in class?

However, the little prince seemed to have gone a bit too far. It would not be wrong to say that it was intentional injury. If something really happened, it could really be considered an assassination of the prince.

Tao Xiu felt the gazes directed at him, making him feel uncomfortable, as if he was actually going to do something to Tao Rui. He stared at Tao Rui's back, scoffing inwardly. Even if the instructor made some changes, what would happen? In a virtual battle, he would still beat Tao Rui until he couldn't even stand up!
