Chapter 357 Close Combat
"Haha, okay."
Dean Ha Qilin agreed with a smile, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart. Close combat? Haha, where did you hear that our academy has this kind of combat? It's mostly physical training, not specialized combat. Nowadays, only some aristocratic families have a set of specialized combat methods. The academy only has some ordinary physical training.
"In that case, let's go back and rest for a while. See you in half an hour!" Frank stood up, holding his stomach and laughing.
"Okay, see you in half an hour!" Dean Haqilin and everyone else stood up and watched the people from the Empire leave.
“Ding ding…”
Mu Qingxin and the other two had just finished their meal when their laptops rang simultaneously. They all clicked on them, only to see a notice that read, "In half an hour, the second match will take place on the second floor of the training room—close combat! Students skilled in combat, please proceed to the second floor of the training room. The match will begin in half an hour, so please hurry!"
"Close combat?!!" Dongfang Ling and Shui Huanlan shouted in surprise at the same time.
Mu Qingxin looked up at the two of them, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Dongfang Ling nodded. "That's a big problem! Close combat, it's real combat. No weapons can be used. You can only use fists. Let me think about it. Which students in our Philibert Academy are from aristocratic families..."
"Students from aristocratic families? Why do we need students from aristocratic families?" Mu Qingxin asked doubtfully. Isn't close combat normal? In her previous life, the streets were filled with Taekwondo, Judo, Boxing, Shaolin Kung Fu... There were countless people learning martial arts.
"Because only the children of aristocratic families have a special set of fighting skills. Everyone else can only fight normally. They can't use only fists at close range. They need to use weapons, and..." Shui Huanlan told Xinxin what he knew.
After hearing this, Mu Qingxin realized that interstellar people now generally use superpowers or rely too much on weapons. Their daily training is only to increase their mental and physical strength to prevent the cells in their bodies from aging too quickly. Therefore, there is no Taekwondo, Judo, boxing or the like. Only some families with strong backgrounds may have this kind of inheritance.
"Oh, we're done for. There are only those two families, and they are not in the academy now. It seems they have gone to the team for internship. What should we do? We have already lost once in the morning. Are we going to lose this time too?" Dongfang Ling said regretfully after carefully looking through the list of families.
"How can it be such a coincidence..." Shui Huanlan said with a pout.
Mu Qingxin looked at the two lost people and shook her head regretfully, "If we don't use students, some of our college's instructors might be able to go up and fight. Besides, the people from the Netherworld Team are still in our college. Any one of them is probably not inferior to those from the Empire!" Mu Qingxin said firmly.
"Yes, especially Young Marshal Jiyou, he can knock them down with one move!" Dongfang Ling said with clenched fists, as if the people in front of him were from the empire, and he couldn't wait to knock them down.
"Xinxin, Lingling, should we go to the training room and take a look?" Shui Huanlan suggested. It was still early anyway.
"Okay, okay. Class hasn't started yet, maybe we can even watch a game!" Dongfang Ling said yes repeatedly, and Mu Qingxin also nodded in agreement.
The three of them packed up their things and immediately went to the training room. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a steady stream of students coming into the training room and walking to the second floor.
The three of them quickly went upstairs and saw a crowded hall. There were many boys at the registration desk submitting their information to apply for the competition.
The defeat in the morning was such a blow to everyone, so in the afternoon game, everyone was determined to win again.
"Huh? I saw our tutor. Let's go and take a look!" Mu Qingxin spotted tutor Zi Jinfu at the registration office in front and pulled Dongfang Ling and Shui Huanlan over.
"Hi, Teacher Zi Jinfu!" Mu Qingxin walked up to Zi Jinfu and greeted him with a smile.
When Zi Jinfu heard the familiar voice, he looked up and saw Mu Qingxin, the little girl whom he both hated and loved.
"Why are you here?" Zi Jinfu asked Mu Qingxin coldly with a glance at her.
Mu Qingxin didn't care about Zi Jinfu's cold attitude, because ever since she had reported him last time, Zi Jinfu's attitude towards her had been sometimes good and sometimes bad. Anyway, she was not worried, because with Aunt Benny around, she would not suffer any loss.
"Are we here to watch a friendly match? Coach Zi Jinfu, why are you here too?" Shouldn't we be at Aunt Benny's place now?
Zi Jinfu's face darkened and he said, "The dean asked me to be a volunteer."
"Volunteer?" Mu Qingxin looked at him curiously.
"I'm just here to do free labor!" Zi Jinfu rolled his eyes at Mu Qingxin.
"Pfft~" Dongfang Ling and Shui Huanlan at the back couldn't help laughing. Zi Jinfu glanced at them without saying anything.
"Teacher, have the contestants for the upcoming competition been confirmed?" Mu Qingxin asked curiously.
"What? You want to join in too?" Zi Jinfu glanced at Mu Qingxin's small frame and said with disdain, "You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. I'll be the first one to stop you. What do you think close combat is? If you go up, you'll be knocked away by a punch..."
"...Teacher, this is a blatant personal attack!" Mu Qingxin looked at Zi Jinfu angrily.
"Hurry up, hurry up, class is about to start, let's go to class! The contestants have been confirmed, they are both Q1 students, one is Jill and the other is Taber. Both of them have A+ in physical fitness, which is very good." Zi Jinfu told Mu Qingxin about the situation here while urging her to leave.
When Mu Qingxin, Dongfang Lingshui and Huanlan heard this, they were surprised to find that it was another acquaintance.
That Jill was one of the two people who were captured by the devil vine during military training and then rescued. Even when Mu Qingxin was captured later, Jill went to save Mu Qingxin without hesitation.
Taber seemed to be one of the several teams at that time, and they had met each other before.
"Uh..., is Jill okay?" Shui Huanlan looked at Xinxin and Lingling and asked doubtfully.
"...I don't know..." Mu Qingxin and Dongfang Ling were also unsure.
It’s not that the three of them didn’t believe Jill, it’s just that when Jill was captured by the devil vine during military training, she was really... so weak.
"No matter who it is, we just need to cheer him on!" Mu Qingxin said, and then lowered her head to send a message of encouragement to Jill.
"Xinxin!" Mu Qingxin had just sent the message when she heard someone calling her. She looked up and saw Jill, his younger brother, and several of his teammates walking towards them.
