Chapter 8 The first person to break precedent and save a teammate who is afraid of heights...

Misa Eijun suddenly became depressed, thinking that he was barely considered a genius a few years ago. Later, after being severely beaten by Mu Jingchen in a major competition, he suddenly realized his own strength that year. It turned out that he was not a true genius. The experience of disastrous defeat lingered on him like a nightmare, and his self-confidence was severely hit.

Now that I meet Mu Jingchen again, even though I am unwilling, what can I do?

Is the only thing between me and a genius the determination? Can you become a genius just by wanting to win?

For someone who doesn't even need teammates for the exam, you'd better be polite.

He didn't have the courage or the guts to challenge the genius of Super 3S again. This almighty hexagonal warrior was like a mountain in Misao Jun's heart.

Afterwards, Teacher Xu Meng got out of the mecha cabin and looked around expressionlessly, as if she was used to this kind of situation. She asked simply and bluntly, "When I was patrolling just now, I didn't expect to hear the cries of insects and beasts above level B. Is anyone among you injured?"

"no."

They said in unison.

Su Shui turned to look at Misagaia, "Teacher, there is someone here suffering from hypothermia."

Xu Meng walked over, touched Misagaia's forehead and other exposed skin, took out a bottle of medicine from her bag, asked Misagaia to take one of the pills, and then took her into the mecha cabin.

"She can't compete anymore. Now your team is missing one person, so Mu Jingchen will take over." Xu Meng spoke very directly.

After hearing this, Jiang Nanhe had a very subtle expression, showing both the joy of winning the championship and the loneliness of being a foil.

Ludin's mentality is not affected. Whether his teammates are stronger or weaker than him, he takes it calmly.

Su Shui couldn't help but look at Mu Jingchen a few times, not hiding his curiosity about his new teammate at all.

Mu Jingchen used his perception to shrink the two flying monsters and the green monster to the size of three chickens, locked them in a cage and handed them over to Xu Meng.

After Xu Meng left, the eight of them regrouped and continued on their way.

"Jingchen, after this training session, you can go directly to the Student Qualifications Association, right?" Zhang Juehuang asked.

Mu Jingchen replied calmly: "Yeah."

The person who has the best relationship with Mu Jingchen here is Zhang Juehuang. Both the Mu family and the Zhang family are aristocratic families, and the relationship between the two families is very good. Mu Jingchen and Zhang Juehuang have been playing together since childhood, but their personalities are completely different, and no one knows how they got to play together.

Zhang Juehuang had noticed Su Shui a long time ago and raised his eyebrows. "This is the second time we have met. Just like last time, your fighting ability is still very good and worthy of praise. Moreover, based on my observation just now, you are indeed quite suitable to be a commander. If you go to other military academies, you may still be able to fulfill your dream of becoming a commander, but unfortunately, Romeda Imperial Academy, I guess it won't work."

Su Shui looked coldly, "Why?"

"Don't be unconvinced, because your perception is only A-level. Romeda Imperial School has never had such a precedent - allowing someone with a perception lower than S-level to enter the command department."

Su Shui narrowed his eyes, his expression indifferent.

Her principle in doing things has always been to do it first and talk about it later. The training hasn't even ended yet, how can she give up so early?

So what if the perception is low? Perhaps the first precedent of the Imperial School was prepared for itself.

She was going to be the first to break precedent.

Mu Jingchen spoke up, "After the training, the school will conduct another unified perception test. The Imperial School uses the most advanced instruments. It has not yet been confirmed whether her perception is only A-level."

Su Shui was slightly stunned. Is he speaking for me?

Mu Jingchen had been watching Su Shui's performance in the mecha cabin just now. He always felt that Su Shui's strength was far more than that.

Zhang Juehuang didn't understand why Mu Jingchen was so optimistic about Su Shui, so he explained: "I just think that talents should go to where they should go, and not waste too much time in areas they are not good at. I am doing this for her own good."

Su Shui rolled his eyes. Is this for my own good?

This person, besides being good at being perverted, is also good at meddling in other people's affairs.

There are three roads leading from the canyon to the mudflats.

The first way is by water, you can swim across, but there may be unknown water beasts in the water, and the distance is not short, and the time to reach the shore is not too fast; the second way is to walk on the flat road, which is the longest distance, but relatively safer; the third way is to climb over the rock wall, which is the fastest and most dangerous way, and you are likely to encounter flying beasts again.

Most of the cadets chose the first route, a few chose the second route to ensure safety, and it is estimated that few groups would choose to climb over the cliffs.

But surprisingly, all eight of them chose the third option, without a single vote against it.

It was obvious that everyone was willing to take risks in order to accumulate points. Now that they were the last, they had no choice but to fight for this opportunity. The battle just now had somehow turned the eight of them from two groups into one. There was strength in numbers, and if something went wrong, they could still move forward and backward together and look after each other.

By then it will just be a matter of first and second place.

It would be great if they were wearing mechas now. If they fell down, at least they would not lose any limbs. This is because there is a rope on the rock wall specially prepared for warriors. They can hold the rope with both hands and step safely on the rock wall with both feet. Although walking is difficult, it can ensure that they will leave footprints on the way forward.

At this moment, what Su Shui was most curious about was why Mu Jingchen's expression did not change from beginning to end, as if the word emotion did not exist on his face at all.

Su Shui looked down and realized that his legs were still a little weak as it was his first time climbing a steep cliff.

Jin Duobao followed behind her, constantly yelling at Su Shui to be careful, and telling a joke from time to time to ease the tense atmosphere. Jin Duoling was very cautious and did not dare to slack off at all.

Jiang Nanhe walked at the back, trying hard to keep his head looking forward, but sometimes he couldn't help but lower his head. Every time he lowered his head, he would sweat a few more pounds and feel dizzy and have sore legs and feet.

To be honest, how come he never realized before that he...is afraid of heights!

We have come this far, we must try our best and must not retreat, otherwise we will be laughed at again.

Jiang Nanhe suppressed his inner fear, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and patted the rock wall with his palms, but... why did he find that this rock wall was soft?

At this moment, the part of the rock wall that was hit moved, and a round blue gem appeared on the originally reddish-brown rock wall, as if it had eyes.

Then the rock wall began to move.

Damn it!

This is a sleeping chameleon!

Faced with this sudden insect beast, Jiang Nanhe was distracted and accidentally stepped on empty air, falling off the rock wall. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, grabbed a protruding rock and tried hard to climb up.

The chameleon continued to widen its eyes, and its sapphire-like eyes expanded a few centimeters. It yawned, as if its sweet dream was disturbed.

"Pull me up quickly!" Jiang Nanhe shouted.

Su Shui looked at the huge reptile in front of him and realized that everyone was not facing a wall, but a beast...

This nearly fifty-meter-long rock wall is made up of the body of this reptile...

Misa Hidetoshi, who was closest to Jiangnan River, tried to pull Jiangnan River up, but failed.

Su Shui spotted a stone bed of moderate size to the lower left of Jiang Nanhe, which was about big enough for a person to lie on. She shouted to Jiang Nanhe, "Hey! There's a stone bed to your lower left. Look at it and try to jump over!"

Jiang Nanhe shifted his gaze and saw the stone bed. He should have been delighted at the hope of rebirth, but when the corner of his eye accidentally caught a glimpse of the unfathomable underground, fear immediately took over his heart.

Jiang Nanhe's military uniform was all wet with sweat. Cold sweat flowed from his forehead into his eyes. The stinging sensation stimulated his eyeballs and his heart was pounding.

Su Shui saw that his legs were shaking non-stop and his lips were very pale, which was very different from his previous state. Then he realized, "Jiang Nanhe, are you afraid of heights?"

Jiang Nanhe's eyes sparkled, and he uttered a word weakly, "Yes..."

The creepy-crawly creature moved again, and this time it seemed angry.

"Oh no, we are on a cliff now and can't fight the insects and monsters!" Jin Duoling said anxiously.

Zhang Juehuang looked very relaxed, "What are you afraid of? It's just a reptile. If we each give it a knife, it won't be able to move."

Mu Jingchen showed a speechless look and said calmly: "Don't cause me trouble."

Afterwards, Su Shui saw him actually reaching out to touch the large reptile. What was even more amazing was that the reptile seemed to enjoy Mu Jingchen's touch. Then, the reptile spun into the air, rolled up Jiang Nanhe with its tail, and sent it directly to the other side of the rock wall.

Su Shui: “???” Does this mean we are heading straight to the muddy and rocky land?

The reptile looked back at Mu Jingchen, howling as if it was responding to its boss and expecting his praise, but Mu Jingchen just said lightly, "Go back." The reptile seemed a little disappointed, came over and rubbed against Mu Jingchen, then left reluctantly.

Su Shui suddenly remembered that Jin Duobao had told her before that Mu Jingchen had gynophobia. Now it was difficult for her to doubt whether Mu Jingchen liked insects and beasts?

Jiang Nanhe stood at the other end of the rock wall. After waiting for about half an hour, Su Shui and his group finally arrived safely. Seeing that everyone was fine, Jiang Nanhe breathed a sigh of relief. If Mu Jingchen had not come to his help just now, he would not be standing here now.

He began to understand Misagaia's feelings. How helpless would a weak person be if he was abandoned by a group?

Su Shui looked at the empty muddy land. She saw no one except them. She didn't know what the real situation was. Were they the first group to arrive at the muddy land or the last?

Ludin smiled and said, "Great, we are now in first place."

When he just arrived, he used his senses to detect and confirmed that there was no one ahead.

"Damn! I was really scared just now!" Misa Yingjun complained.

"You're scared too, fat white guy?" Su Shui teased with a smile.

Misa Eijun raised his proud head, "Afraid? I was facing my inner fear. This is the performance of a warrior. Only by facing fear can we defeat it and overcome it!"

"Wow! It's rare that a famous quote can come out of your half-baked brain!" Zhang Juehuang praised sarcastically.
