Since Lancelot's fame has been rising, the fact that Rachel lied to protect Lancelot has been exposed. These people guessed that Rachel and Lancelot might know each other in real life, otherwise she would not risk offending Lancelot by telling such a lie and giving the villain Wood an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Unable to contact Lancelot, these people resorted to harassing Rachel. Rachel was a verified mecha combatant on the Starnet, so finding her information was easy. Unidentified individuals called his number almost daily. Even during arena matches, opponents would approach him, hoping he'd help them connect with Lancelot.
Rachel, completely annoyed, had to turn on Do Not Disturb mode and rented a combat training room with Dragal on Starnet. Then, someone else took a roundabout route and started asking Dragal about Lancelot...
Listening to his friend's accusations, Auckland felt both ashamed and amused. "I'm so sorry. When you come back, I'll definitely treat you guys to a nice meal to make it up to you."
"Hmph! That's more than enough!" After complaining, Dragal excitedly began discussing the competition with Oakland again. "Oakland, you're truly amazing! Did you know that Ivan Percy was planning to apply for the Intermediate Heraldry rank, hoping to make a splash, but you squashed him? He doesn't even dare to mention it now. I wonder how many people are waiting to see him act. I bet he hates you to death!"
"Huh?" Oakland shrugged. "I didn't mean to do that."
But Auckland didn't really feel anything. After all, he spoke with strength and had no intention of suppressing anyone.
"Oh, by the way, school will start in half a month, and you will be busy after school starts. Few freshmen participate in the Rookie Mecha Competition, and it will probably affect your courses. Normal students can greet the teachers when participating in the competition, but you are participating as Lancelot, so it may be a bit troublesome. Remember to discuss this with Senior Hall." The competition cycle is generally long, and it is held in the morning. The freshmen's courses will be more full, and conflicts are inevitable. De Lagar reminded Oakland of this so that he can prepare early.
"Thank you, I understand." Oakland also felt that this matter must be discussed with Hall. Without Hall's help, it might be really troublesome to ask for leave.
The two chatted for a while and then ended the call.

Hall returned to his dormitory refreshed and logged onto the Star Network.
"Boss, you're finally here!" Chris rushed over as soon as he saw Hall.
"What's up? Are you itching? Let's go to the training room."
"No, no, no..." Chris waved his hands repeatedly, "I just have something to report to you."
"Speak." Hall was in a good mood at the moment, so he let him go for the time being.
"Boss, there's news about the last incident."
Hall's expression immediately turned serious. "What do you mean?"
"It is currently suspected that the Fifth Army deliberately concealed the information..."
After General Williams left for the expedition, Hall's mother, Elaine, temporarily returned to military headquarters. Coincidentally, the investigation General Williams had arranged for had yielded some results, and Elaine relayed the news. Since Hall was in special training that afternoon and couldn't be reached, Elaine relayed the news to Chris, asking him to deliver it.
It turned out that when Hall and his team were patrolling the 59th star field, they suspected that the Fifth Army had already discovered the news of the wormhole appearing nearby, but deliberately concealed the matter. Their intentions were extremely sinister.
"Ah... Auckland..." At this time, Chris suddenly noticed Auckland standing at the door.
Oakland had originally planned to come over to discuss with Hall how to request leave after school started, but unexpectedly, he overheard them talking about that incident again, and suspected that the mastermind behind it was the Fifth Army, that is, General Arnold, the father of Ivan Percy...
"You heard it all." Hall didn't react. After all, Oakley was a party to this matter, so he let it be heard. He believed that Oakley would not leak this matter.
"Yes."
"Any ideas?"
"Well, actually, when I was on Anoto, I was pushed off the ridge, my optical brain was destroyed, and my ribs and legs were broken. If I hadn't met Rachel and Dragal, I would have died there." Auckland narrated the incident calmly, as if it was someone else's business. In fact, it is not wrong to say it is someone else's business. After all, the conspiracy in the first half was experienced by the original owner.
"What?! How could such a thing happen?!" Hall and Chris were both surprised. They didn't expect that even students could be bribed... These people simply wanted to kill Auckland. The entire Zerg thing might be an inside story to cover up the fact of Auckland's death. After all, the Zerg are notorious for eating people without leaving any bones. Not to mention evidence, I'm afraid that Auckland won't even have a bone left.
Those students who were in the same group with Oakland were all killed in the Zerg attack. Were their deaths really accidents, or was someone secretly doing it to ensure that there would be no evidence?
Hall almost immediately realized that someone at the school had colluded with the Fifth Army to deliberately set up this flawed final exam just to give Hall a bad reputation.
They hadn't anticipated that, despite being delayed by the Zerg battle, Hall had still managed to arrive in time to save most of the students. Even Auckland Campbell, whom they had deliberately included in the practical assessment, survived.
As for the man who had collaborated with the Fifth Army and passed this ridiculous final exam, there was no one else to think of except Charles Hank.
But how could that idiot Charles possibly have orchestrated such a grand scheme? The real mastermind behind this was confirmed to be General Arnold of the Fifth Army!
Oh, this person's hands are a little too long!
"Chris, have them continue investigating! Especially the interior! We must conduct a thorough investigation!"
While the mastermind behind this operation has been revealed, there must be problems within their Second Army. Otherwise, how could they have been assigned to patrol the 59th Sector? Such a coincidence to encounter the Zerg, and such a coincidence to see a group of military academy students taking their final exams nearby—how could there be so many coincidences? This is simply a meticulously planned conspiracy!
If there really is a problem within their ranks, I wonder if my father's expedition this time was also ambushed...
Hall didn't dare to think about it any further.
In short, this person! Must be found!
"Yes! Boss!"
