She used all her strength, and her expression was cold as she swooped down.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao noticed a smile that seemed to flash across the other person's face. Before she could react to whether she was seeing things, Jin Shu, who had been unsteady on her feet and had messy punches, suddenly became agile and dodged. Ling Xiao's all-out attack was kicked hard into the ground.
If it were ordinary ground, it wouldn't be a problem, since her enhanced body is comparable to steel. But what she kicked was a piece of diamond carbon helmet specially used for mecha defense, with a hardness comparable to the hardest material in the universe.
Just like that, a crisp crack of bone was heard, and Ling Xiao's face turned deathly pale instantly. Her scream was choked in her throat. Not that was enough, Jin Shu nimbly flipped over and kicked her back.
"puff--"
Ling Xiao coughed up a mouthful of blood, swayed and collapsed, only to be caught by Ares around the waist.
Seeing the growing coldness in his eyes, Jin Shu, quicker than her mind, pointed outside and shouted loudly.
"Instructor! They're trying to kill me!"
Ares didn't turn his head, helped Ling Xiao sit down, and then launched a mental attack. The entire shop was affected and trembled violently. Just as the overwhelming killing intent was about to reach Jin Shu, a high-level protective shield suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the fatal blow for her.
The protective shield, which could have been reused many times, shattered into pieces in that instant.
Jin Shu stood there, motionless, utterly fearless.
"Instructor Amai, this person has no law enforcement authority. After entering the store, he coerced citizens and even tried to shoot us."
I fought back desperately, but I was still seriously injured.
After speaking, Jin Shu turned around, revealing her bloodied back. This was all caused by Ares's mental power. If Jin Shu hadn't trained hard day and night in the gravity chamber and space simulation chamber, she would have died here today.
Ares turned around, and Instructor Amai recognized him.
“Commander Ares, you should be in the Legion preparing for new recruit training right now, not here.”
"I don't need you to discipline me."
Instructor Amai nodded politely.
“I can’t control your travel plans, but as a military officer, you’re here harming my students, so I have to intervene.”
Regardless of whether she has made a mistake or not, she is under the jurisdiction of our military academy, and the alliance division commander will personally instruct her; you do not need to intervene.
Before the students joined the army, they were all under the school's special protection. Instructor Amai was once the deputy commander of the legion, so he had no respect for Ares.
"She hurt my people, so what's wrong with me making her pay?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Shu immediately ran to Instructor Amai's side.
"After they came in, they tried to beat and kill the shop owner without any regard for the consequences. I couldn't stand it and asked them if they had the authority to enforce the law. Then the woman insisted that I was a suspect and was about to shoot me."
There's a video recording here; the whole thing was recorded.
Just then, Luo Pu walked out from behind the store and accidentally played the surveillance footage.
The whole process was sped up three times, and it was over in no time.
Instructor Amai said sternly, his face tense.
"Commander Ares, there's no need for you to handle the investigation of suspects. The group is too busy with its affairs. I will hand this matter over to the Interstellar Court, and I will notify you as soon as the results are available."
Ares gave Jin Shu a deep look, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his thin lips.
"This year's freshmen are quite interesting."
Instructor Amai stood in front of Jin Shu, his businesslike tone reassuring.
"New students have always been the hope of our Alliance Legion, which is why the Alliance Military Academy is directly managed by the division commander. This is to provide students with strong enough protection."
"Commander Ares, manage your subordinates well. The saying 'might makes right' doesn't apply to her."
Ling Xiao kept her head down the whole time, hiding the emotions that were about to explode in her heart.
She was defeated by a freshman in the very fighting game she was so proud of.
After watching the two leave, Jin Shu let out a sigh of relief and rubbed her sore arms.
Luo Pu looked at her expressionlessly, yet with worry in his eyes.
“I just went out for a walk, and you made such a big commotion.”
I see you.
When Luopu saw what was happening inside, he turned and ran. He couldn't beat others in a fight, but he was very good at escaping.
Luo Pu nodded.
"Yes, I sense that these two are not to be trifled with. Aren't you afraid I'll run away and never come back? You're in trouble this time without Instructor Amai."
"You won't do that, I know you went to call the instructor."
Jin Shu always appeared calm and composed, as if she had never been worried or afraid of anything.
Instructor Amai glanced at Jin Shu.
"you……"
He wanted to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand.
"Go back and get some rest. Your back injury probably won't heal overnight. If it affects tomorrow's game, just don't regret it."
"Thank you, Instructor Amai."
"Before knowing the opponent's strength, the wisest thing to do is to bow down rather than provoke. To be a warrior, you not only need to know how to operate a mecha, but more importantly, you need to understand your own strength and that of the enemy."
I won't punish you this time, and I won't help you next time either.
Jin Shu nodded.
She was never one to act rashly, and this time it was purely because of the lingering resentment and bitterness within her.
But she still had the ability to escape.
Even if she couldn't defeat Ares, she was absolutely confident she could save her life.
However, with Instructor Amai's help, she did suffer less, so Jin Shu obediently nodded and followed him back to the temporary base.
"The competition starts tomorrow," Coach Amai said before leaving.
"Tomorrow, act according to your ability. Life is only once, don't waste it on things like this."
"Okay, I understand."
Jin Shu entered the medical pod. Since the injury was caused by mental energy, the medicines and equipment in the general medical pod were not very effective. She could only quietly recuperate and wait.
Since that was the case, most of the training programs in the training room could not continue, so Jin Shu simply went to the airfield.
All the mechs we'll be using tomorrow are stored here.
Jin Shu opened the hatch, sat inside and waited for a while. As time stopped, she started the mecha and flew into the sky.
After being modified by Lopu, the control handle became significantly lighter, and a series of operations such as turning in the air became more flexible.
Jin Shu didn't deliberately try to recall the mecha control techniques that the original owner had in her mind.
She slowly released her spiritual energy, gradually spreading it from within her body to every part of the mecha. (End of Chapter)
