The rest would depend on attitude . Attitude determined success . Meng Tian's life was completely filled with study and training . This left the hunks in the school desolate . Of course, some had made moves regardless, but with little results . Meng Tian ignored them the first time, rejected them the second, and showed them no mercy on the third .
At the start, they had thought Meng Tian was putting on airs . Privately, they looked down on those from Earth . But as her results improved in leaps and bounds, they began to become used to her character .
The way things were developing, it seemed possible that Aina and Meng Tian would be competing for top student .
With their results all there, a majority of the youths who came here could not quiet their hearts down and focus on their studies . Besides, there was too much to enjoy here . The entry of humanity and the peaceful years had been around for a long time now . Even if it was the Milky Way Military Academy, the degree of freedom was high . Much depended on one's own proactivity, and less on rigid driving .
Now they were interested in their sister school's mecha competition . Although it was not their forte, but no military person would dislike it . Of course, when it came to the main stage, the space city was virtually in Roland Garros . Then, student representative groups would enter Roland .
Wang Zheng's opponent was a Xuan Grade Class 1 member from White Tiger Region . In truth, this competition was the stage of the Xuan Grade Class 1's . They were the only ones serious about the whole thing, while the rest were just here to support the party .
Maacah Republic's Dili was extremely unsatisfied that his first fight would be against a Huang Grade Class 7 from Azure Dragon . The first fight should warm him up . If it had been Azure Dragon's Xuan Grade Class 1 that would have been more like it . At least he could enter the zone . But it was actually a Huang Grade Class 7 .
Dili had no idea how that fool had wandered in . It was a joke . Had there been an error in the school results?
He had joined in the jibes of his comrades as well . The White Tiger Region was a strong division . An intense atmosphere and a strict training environment . The most awesome among the 4 divisions was the White Tiger Region and Vermillion Bird Region . The difference was clear in these 2 .
And to a Xuan Grade student, their position in this competition affected their final year score as well . Those that placed well would get more bonus points . Point accumulation led to privileges . Although it did not translate to ascending a Grade, but at a certain level of points, one's privileges would increase within school . The places that one could go, and the things that one was allowed to know would increase as well . Of course, it would also serve as bragging rights . This was no bad thing as well . From another perspective, this was a form of power as well .
That was why, such a competition was a carnival for the Xuan Grade . These seniors were extremely unsatisfied that these Huang Graders had come to play .
Under normal circumstances, if the opponent was from Xuan Grade Class 1, he would still have to pause a while to understand the situation, even with his confidence . For example, the opponent's point accumulation in school, if they had any outstanding aspects, their ability X . This was basic preparation . But with a Huang Grade Class 7, Dili did not even know what he should prepare . He was afraid that he would dig and come up empty-handed .
Wang Zheng was extremely satisfied after knowing that his opponent was a Xuan Grade Class 1 from the White Tiger Region . Although his companions had thought it was a pity – to meet a Xuan Grade Class 1 immediately was bad luck . This was the White Tiger division as well, impregnable .
Zhang Shan could not be bothered . Wang Zheng was the farmer type, unconcerned with who his opponent was . His own luck was good . A Black Tortoise Region's Xuan Grade Class 5 . Some level of difficulty, but he could have a fight . Anyone from the Xuan Grade was nothing to look down on .
Even if one met them, it was better to meet them later on . Zhang Shan still hoped to fight strong opponents with this opportunity, and elevate his own Mad Grass technique .
When school ended in the afternoon, basically nobody had any other arrangements . The first day of qualifiers had started, and some already had matches . To the Xuan Grade students, it was no big deal . At the Xuan Grade, fighting classes were frequent, in order for them to accumulate the necessary experience . Only, this had the additional weightage of a competition, was all . But to the Huang Graders, there was the additional gravity and nerves to deal with .
The qualifiers began at 7pm sharp . In order to fully bring out their strength, the Huang Graders mostly ate at 5 . 30, so they had an hour to properly digest and allow their bodies to enter the ideal state .
The Elite Academy's battle net opened, and most of the Huang Grade students were spectating . The Huang 1 students had eventually entered, while the Azure Dragon division was a little different . 3 people from Huang Grade Class 7 had eventually entered . Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan, Oli .
Oli's luck was good . Her opponent was a Huang 1 from Vermillion Bird . No matter what, they were still in the same classification, and she would not be shut out by ability X .
Wang Zheng was scheduled on the first day as well . The timing was 8 . 30 . As they were a class, some of the Huang Grade Class 7 people had expressed their support as well .
Zhang Shan's opponent was Xuan Tortoise division's Xuan 5 . Clearly, his opponent was more satisfied with his own luck . To meet a Huang Gradeer was already a stroke of luck, and a 7 to boot was an even more joyous event .
In the spectator hall, Wang Zheng and the rest had already entered . Friends had come to lend their support, although Yan had not come . It looked like the 2 of them had really severed for good, but Snow Li and the rest had come to support . Snow Li and the rest had their competition the next day . Since they had no fights today, they could see the overall standard .
And the hottest timing today was 8 . 30pm . Group 2's Vermillion Bird King Hocatolin's grand entrance . His opponent was from a Xuan Grade Class 1, but that was unimportant . The name of Vermillion Bird's King was well known, and more had come to see exactly what he was capable of .
Zhang Shan had taken the field . Ever since IG, Zhang Shan was not firmly resolved on revenge, but he had nevertheless deeply thought about his fighting style, and which mecha could bring out his power .
Zhang Shan's opponent was Lens from Sirius Star . Since he was of the Xuan Grade, the opponent's ability X must be capable of crushing Zhang Shan . But luckily Zhang Shan was an evasive type, and need not meet it head on .
Facing the rows of mecha fighters, Zhang Shan chose the Wind God without hesitation!
Having considered all types of mecha, he discovered that he needed those with a higher mobility in order to bring out the best of his ability .
Wang Zheng was surprised too . Wind God was undoubtedly one of his best mecha, but he had never thought Zhang Shan would choose it .
Snow Li was also shocked . Because she was a member of IG, she knew of Zhang Shan's situation . The Solar System team's standard was too low . This Zhang Shan was one of those that pulled the team down, although his improvement was phenomenal . She had no doubts that Zhang Shan would be somebody in the future, but not now . And choosing a mecha like Wind God was a double-edged sword . Although its mobile capabilities were excellent, but its attack power was weak . It gave a fragile feeling . Most importantly, unless you had the physical ability of someone like Wang Zheng, otherwise it would be difficult to make the mecha shine .
With a different mecha, they might have some hopes for him, but after seeing Wang Zheng's performance, the expectations of Wind God were too high .
Zhang Shan was excited . His choice of Wind God had been in part due to Wang Zheng's influence . Wang Zheng's fighting was artistry . Each time he saw it he was moved . One day, he had thought about giving it a try .
Lens chose Sirius's beast type mecha "Tiger-Wolf Guardian" .
Of course, in Elite Academy, what was most important was not the mecha, but rather what results could be produced through the interaction of ability X and mecha .
The 2 mecha took to the field . If one opened the Skylink, one could see the entire lineup of matches . The 5 Groups' first battle started at the same time . Most chose to watch either those familiar to them, or those that needed watching . Zhang Shan and Lens' match was relatively unpopular, even regarded as one of the least popular . As a good friend, one must definitely support, and both sides combined, there was an audience of about 20 plus, which was better than empty . Even battles needed the suspense, just like the gladiator fights of old . The more people there were, the better the gladiators fought . If nobody was watching, then they would lack battle power as well .
Len's battle approach was simple . A fast fight, decided quickly . He had no interest in wasting too much time on a Huang Grade Class 7 opponent .
The battle started . Tiger-Wolf Guardian let out a strong roar, and shot forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring .
His ability was indicated in just this move alone . As a Xuan Grade Class 5 member, he was definitely confident in battle, and knew his stuff . An agile beast-type mecha was especially effective in restricting an agile humanoid-type mecha . The mobility of 4 legs was definitely better than 2 .
Although it was only the first attack, whether because of nerves or a miscalculation of the opponent's speed, Zhang Shan was forced to reveal his first warp, expending his magnetic energy source to avoid his opponent's ferocious attack . Zhang Shan broke out in a cold sweat .
Xuan Grade candidates were Xuan Grade candidates . Any student of Elite Academy naturally had a superior attitude . For example, those of Huang Grade Class 7 did not particularly respect those of Huang Class 1, thinking that the difference between them was not big, and it was perhaps a matter of luck . While they would not dare to think the same of Xuan Grade Class 1, but if they were still at Xuan 5, then perhaps their standard was about the same . They would think that they themselves were naturally headed for Xuan Grade Class 1 when they ascended .
Many people thought this way . This was a natural way of thinking, but also a fatal fantasy .
Lens had no intention of giving Zhang Shan the opportunity to counter attack . Although he had dodged with warp, but those of the Xuan Grade had seen much, and immediately knew that his opponent used warp . Such types could only use it a few times . It was simple . Press the attack, and force the opponent to use up all his energy .
The beast-type mecha rebounded the moment it landed . Such a violent maneuver was something that humanoid mecha struggled to execute . Zhang Shan's magnetic energy source once again flew out . At this time, he had no way to press forward . His rhythm was completely thrown off .
Eisen and the rest could barely watch it anymore . Luckily it was the Wind God . Any other mecha would have already been destroyed . Zhang Shan was in a tragedy as well . But then again, it was to be expected . A Xuan Grade fighting a Huang Grade had an obvious outcome .
Wind God looked like a mouse trapped in the bellows, hounded mercilessly by the Tiger-Wolf Guardian . Finally, Lens seized his opportunity, and forced Zhang Shan to use his second warp to supplement the magnetic power in order to draw the distance apart .
The audience was speechless as well . From the start of the fight, Zhang Shan was being beaten, and did not even have the energy to counter attack .
Lens was discovering that this was a difficult opponent to pin down, because he was not sure how many times the opponent could use such teleports . Combined with Wind God's mobility, was this ever going to end?
