"Lian Han, you're here?"

Leaving aside how Xing Yucheng had made Lian Han grit her teeth in anger yesterday, Lian Han felt something was wrong as soon as she heard Professor Cui Zhi calling her name in class today.

"Lian Han, everyone says I crushed them before. To be fair, let's go to the training ground and have a spar before I start my lecture. I've already simulated the mechs."

"Yes, mentor."

"I've sent you the room numbers. Go in one by one. Anhe, make sure everyone is there."

An He cast a "good luck" look at Lian Han, "Yes."

Lian Han: ...What can she say now?

As a student at the Armor Academy, Lian Han would occasionally try piloting mechs with his partner during practice sessions, so he was no stranger to mech piloting, but he was by no means proficient.

Sitting in the mecha cockpit, as soon as her mental energy connected with the mecha, she heard Cui Zhi say from the other side: "You have one minute to familiarize yourself with the mecha."

One minute? The audience felt something was wrong.

"Yes, mentor." Lian Han didn't think much of it and began to familiarize himself with the mecha, recalling his original design.

"What's wrong with the mentor? Is he upset that she took a month off and is deliberately making things difficult for the goddess?" Zong Jingyuan frowned. They only had five minutes to prepare back then!

"Let's see first," Anhe said after a moment of silence.

A minute passed quickly, and Lian Han saw the basic standard mech on the other side draw its energy sword. "It's starting."

Lian Han nodded, dodging the mecha's thrust as it came at him, and simultaneously clenched his fist and slammed it into Cui Zhi.

Mech combat is actually somewhat similar to hand-to-hand combat, except that one involves the mech executing commands issued by mental energy, while the other involves the body carrying out commands issued by the mind. Mental energy is controlled by self-awareness, adding an extra step and undoubtedly making it more difficult.

The main training for mech pilots is to train their reaction speed and their ability to control their mental power.

Lian Han didn't have much of an advantage in this area, but she was skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The mecha she designed didn't have any weapons, but her body was the best weapon. She also increased the mecha's protective capabilities, and since it wasn't her own, she wouldn't care if it got damaged.

Thus, the silver mech fully demonstrated her brutality, knocking away the weapons of the black standard mech before it even had a chance to make a move, and then a hand-to-hand combat ensued.

Cui Zhi was surprised, but he was no less skilled in fighting. He had often pinned people to the ground and beat them in the military camp.

"Too violent."

Ye Ying murmured, "So Xiao Han is this good at fighting."

Zong Jingyuan asked, "Class monitor, who do you think will win?"

"tutor."

"Huh? Why are you so sure? They seem evenly matched."

"You've probably forgotten how he beat you before. The reason we felt so badly beaten is because our mentor's fighting style isn't fixed; both he and we fought against the weaknesses of our mechs."

"So he gave up his weapon because the goddess's mecha isn't good at close combat? But I think she's pretty good at fighting."

Anhe looked thoughtfully at the mechs below the field, and a guess formed in his mind. "We'll find out soon enough."

For five minutes, the two were evenly matched. After ten minutes, Lian Han began to show signs of weakness. After fifteen minutes, Cui Zhi pulled out Lian Han's cockpit, and the battle ended.

After the match was decided, Cui Zhi kicked everyone off the training field and brought them back to the lecture hall.

Looking at the pensive girl in the classroom, everyone knew that Lian Han was the only one in the top class who hadn't been crushed by the instructor.

"Does Lian Han have anything to say?"

"My design was too idealistic. It didn't take into account the mecha's energy problem, the mecha's mental energy channel construction was not perfect, and there was no computer mecha pilot to control the mecha's parts and their matching values."

"Your understanding is very accurate. Did you complete this design independently?"

"I didn't know how to do it before, but my elders suggested that I design a mecha that I wanted. I did the rest of the work myself."

"Is this what you wanted?"

"I'm pretty good at fighting, so I wanted to give it a try."

Cui Zhi laughed, "You're not just good at fighting, you're really good at it. You've probably beaten up a lot of people in private."

Lian Han was about to say no when An He said, "The mentor is wise. She even gave her a beating yesterday, and then her parents made her stand facing the wall in repentance."

Lian Han: ...

Everyone: ...

Noticing the awkward atmosphere, Cui Zhi smiled and said, "It's understandable that young people are hot-tempered. Our school doesn't forbid fighting. As long as you don't hurt anyone in real life, it's fine."

"The mentor is right. Xiao Han was the one who pinned that person down and killed him on Skynet."

Dead? Even for Skynet, dying once would leave a deep psychological scar, right?

So this is what the goddess is like in private? Then everyone unanimously thought of the person who falsely accused her of two-timing last semester, and unanimously decided to stay away from her from now on. Gods are meant to be revered!

Lian Han was speechless; she was killing An He with her eyes. Who was she doing this to? And now she's even digging up her past.

"Alright." Cui Zhi cleared her throat, bringing everyone back to their senses. "Lian Han, would you be interested in perfecting this mecha before graduation?"

"Perfect?" Lian Han exclaimed in surprise, "But I'm afraid I can't do it alone..."

"I am your mentor. You can ask me if you don't understand anything."

The scene fell silent for a moment. Did Professor Cui Zhi value Lian Han's design?

"You can work on it in your spare time. If you need anything, apply to the school. I want to see a real-life version of this mecha before you graduate."
