Chapter 64 Quarrel
The final assessment is over, and the loser's excuses and indignation are as pale as his performance and ranking in the standings.
The eighty students to be eliminated have been decided. According to the proportion, 60 people will be eliminated from the combat direction based on their ranking, and 20 people will be eliminated from the non-combat direction based on their ranking. In fact, the final results have already been announced.
But at this moment, a fierce quarrel broke out in the temporary shed where the three people in charge were discussing the matter.
"The top 20 qualify as mecha soldiers, and Xu Lingqu is first, so she deserves this qualification." Instructor Chen was unusually firm, refusing to budge on the matter. "Why not let her try? Give her a chance."
Su Li looked at him coldly: "Because her mental power level is B-level, you let a B-level student become a mecha soldier? Are you cherishing her talent or wanting to harm her? Don't you know the consequences of people with low mental power levels driving mechas?"
"But Xu Lingqu is different. With her initial physical fitness, did anyone think she could hold up? And she was only given a mecha soldier qualification; she wasn't allowed to test-drive a mecha directly at the military headquarters." Instructor Chen's voice grew colder. "In the mecha duel arena of the Military Academy League, the minimum level for replica mecha pilots has been lowered to B-level, meaning you can pilot an A-mecha. Xu Lingqu should receive basic training."
"Could it be that I don't want to train her?" Su Li's voice became louder. "Do you think I don't know about the Military Academy League? But do you know how much pressure the military will put on us if we list a B-level student as a formal mecha soldier?"
Kion tried to smooth things over: "Anyway, the military has been treating us like this for a long time..."
He originally thought that Instructor Chen was just daydreaming, but his student Xu Lingqu was always creating miracles, so he gradually changed his mindset and decided that it would be okay to give it a try...
"How could you say such a thing, Kion?" Su Li shook her head. "If you don't negotiate directly with them, you can just say it's been going on for a while. Where did the money come from for this grand trial period? If you need money, I'll go to the military and beg for it like a beggar. If you need equipment and facilities, I'll use my connections everywhere. Do you think being a vice-president is easy?"
"But she worked so hard to get first place, she should be given justice." Feeling Su Li's sudden outburst of emotions, Instructor Chen realized that he should shut up, but he couldn't help but say this, and he regretted it as soon as he said it.
As expected, Su Li became even angrier.
"Give her justice? Has Moye ever had justice since Admiral Sheng Shu passed away? The three of us graduated from Moye under the old admiral's last glory. When we returned, all of Moye's original teachers had been forced to leave, leaving only a bunch of old, good-for-nothings. Admiral Yinhe Sheng Shu's reputation was almost ruined. The three of us swore an oath when we returned to help Moye rise again. Both of you have wanted to leave, but I never left. I endured the disgust to get to this position. Don't I understand the military? You can make a report today, and the notice of cost cuts will be issued tomorrow. Am I deliberately targeting her? Wake up."
Kaiang and Chen Ai have dreams and cherish talents, but does Su Li not have them? However, behind beautiful dreams there is always a cruel and messy reality waiting to be cleaned up, and someone always has to do it.
Her words left both of them completely silent.
They had thought about how much pressure Su Li had been under before, but they didn't expect it to reach this point.
A girl who was quiet and introverted during her student days had such a big change in her personality that they thought she had become more educated as she grew up, but in fact, she was just helpless because of the oppression.
"I'm sorry." Instructor Chen spoke first, bowing towards Su Li. "I'm sorry. Thank you for your hard work."
Kion also quickly followed him and apologized to Su Li: "I won't spend money recklessly or make unreasonable demands again. I'm sorry."
Su Li looked at the two people behaving exactly the same as they did in their school days, and finally couldn't help it. She turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
It's a bit embarrassing to let them see my tears.
Of course, Kaian and Instructor Chen knew that she turned around to wipe her tears, but at this moment they tacitly continued to keep bending over, and waited until she turned around before standing up.
"Xu Lingqu is an excellent student and will shine in the command major. I will support her in becoming the chief commander of the Moye team in this military academy league." Su Li calmed down. "But there is no room for negotiation in reporting her as a formal mecha soldier. Instead of arguing with me, why not find her and explain the situation clearly?"
In the end, this task was given to Kion. Before he left, he was afraid that Instructor Su Li and Chen would quarrel again, so he repeatedly warned them: "Wait until I come back, at least there will be someone to mediate."
"Hurry and go."
When Kaiong came out, he ran into Xu Lingqu who said coldly: "I am just this bad, and I will never change."
He suddenly became even more worried. Xu Lingqu was a student who was not easy to deal with. However, he still frowned and called him aside: "I want to tell you something..."
Kion briefly recounted the military's explicit and implicit rules and practices, pouring out his bitterness over the past decade. He was expecting Xu Lingqu to issue a righteous protest or a sarcastic rebuke, but unexpectedly, Xu Lingqu accepted it well and simply nodded calmly.
She had expected this.
The instructor was slow to announce the list, and it was obvious that the three of them were discussing something and had a dispute, which was why it took so long.
Now that Kaion came out he was talking to him about this matter. It was clear what they were arguing about, and Xu Lingqu was mentally prepared.
In fact, to understand this difficult problem, she only needs to use her actual mental power, but now is obviously not the best time.
She already had a rough idea of the time when her SS-level mental power would be announced. If she continued according to her plan, she would only temporarily lose her place as a mecha soldier, which was not a loss at all.
Seeing that she accepted it well, Kion was completely relieved. He went back and officially announced the elimination list and the list of mecha soldiers from the final assessment.
Sun Liao and his small group were basically wiped out in the elimination list, which further confirmed the fact that there is basically no good end to going against Xu Lingqu. In addition, the list of mecha soldiers still made everyone sigh for a while.
"Xu Lingqu is clearly number one..."
"But her mental strength level is B. How can she possibly drive a real mecha?"
"But the mechas in Skynet's military academy league aren't realistic."
"The military academy league is all you have in mind? This concerns Xu Lingqu's entire life, okay?"
Jin put his hand on Shen Shouli's shoulder and said to Xu Lingqu: "Why don't we try again? Doesn't our Mr. Shen have someone in the military?" He made a joke to ease the atmosphere.
"Sister, I should talk to my brother or dad about this matter..." Xu Xizhen was a little worried.
She did not become the 21st mecha soldier to lose his place as she had dreamed before coming here, but Xu Lingqu lost this place as the first one.
"It's okay." Xu Lingqu interrupted her, "I'm very happy."
“…..But your expression doesn’t look good right now.” Shen Shouli suddenly spoke.
"Because it hurts." Xu Lingqu told the truth.
She now urgently needs to return to the base's medical room resurrection point.
