Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang looked at the hazy-eyed girl in front of him. He found himself slightly guilty after this but if this burden was what it took for him to make his students excel, he was willing to live with it. When pushing Quo Lina in the mental illusion he made sure to keep his strength in check and the illusion was not as intense as it was when he used this trick on the contender group of the Galactic Showdown.

This time it could be said that his strength was not even a tenth of what it was that day. However, this situation was still enough for Quo Lina to get over her nervousness. In all honesty, she was about to collapse many times, but a faint whisper of keep going on was audible in her mind whenever she was about to give in.

This whisper was nothing other than Shi Lang's telepathic communication. In moments of great despair, such whispers fill a person with a will to fight on. Shi Lang meticulously exposed this point to improve his student. However, he was not sure if this trick will work over anyone else. It was because when he investigated his students.

He discovered that Quo Lina was trained harshly by her father, they were not the main branch of the family but they still committed themselves to the traditional skills passed on for generations. The new federation might have no sense of boundaries within, but the skills they passed on were all treasured, after all, there were only a few pure skills left in the world.

Quo Lina was an only child, and she was expected to carry on the burden of passing on the skills of the family, thus she had grown up with a tough unyielding mentality without caring about anything. Shi Lang used her as a target for his trick because of this.

When Quo Lina gained clarity again, she instinctively let out a dense killing intent making her classmates shiver and pale in complexion. Shi Lang nodded and walked closer to her. Then he patted her shoulder, Quo Lina was about to attack when the young man said, "Calm down, it is over now."

His voice contained a hint of spiritual energy that shook up the girl and made her wake up ultimately. She looked around and found that she was still in her classroom. She asked Shi Lang, "Teacher..."

The young man smiled and said, "Allow me to apologize for pushing you into that situation. What you experienced just now was an illusion I created. This was one of the scenes from a battlefield lying outside. My team deals with situations a hundred times tougher than this. I did this because I wanted you to recognize that you are not weak. You stayed true to what you have learned and that was why you made it through the simulation.

Now, I will ask you, how much confidence do you have in facing that girl from the advanced classes?"

Quo Lina thought for a bit and then said, "Hundred percent, I will beat her for sure. It does not mean that I underestimate her, but I will not give up or falter."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Good, keep one thing in mind, do not expose any killing intent, just take her as a sparing partner, but only till she is not resorting to any cheap moves. This is not a fight of life or death, so you do not have to go to the extent of assuring survival. Okay?"

Quo Lina nodded and then Shi Lang led her out to the training ground where the duel will be held. The rest of the class was quick on the uptake, they shook away the dread they just faced now and in a well-mannered queue, they walked behind Shi Lang and Quo Lina.

This sort of behavior shocked a lot of people who saw them, but at the same time, some of the viewers thought that the problem class was putting up a show and that they will suffer soon enough and then when faced with pressure, they will reveal their true colors.

Yuu has also arrived at the training ground and was looking forward to the battle. She wanted to see to what extent did this class grow in just a few days. Shi Lang was a man who trained d group of rookies into monsters who cleared the threats in the dark and the entire Federal military shivered when faced with the red armor.

Yuu wanted to see what effect this guy have on the students of his class. The arrival of the problem class attracted a lot of attention. Some of the advanced class students even directly started pointing fingers. The problem class noticed these people, but they did not react. It was as if the switch inside them has been turned off.

Yuu smirked and jumped on the stage. She smiled and clapped her hands. She asked, "Now, I will be acting as the presiding referee of this battle, do you all have any objections?"

The students and the teachers shook their heads, all the same, they did not dare to doubt the fairness of the battling monster. Yuu nodded and said, "The challenger from the advanced class, step forward."

A girl stepped out of the crowd. She had good bearings, and a cold temperament, however, she did not seem to be a person who would look down on her opponent. Shi Lang smiled as he saw this, he mumbled, "Lina, be careful."

Quo Lina was observing her opponent, and just then Yuu said, "Contender of the special class come forward."

Quo Lina turned towards Shi Lang and bowed to him deeply as she said, "Teacher, thank you."

Shi Lang was surprised, then he smiled and said, "Rise, and shine."

Quo Lina raised her head and gave him a subtle smile. Then she climbed over the platform with firm steps. She was not afraid of anyone, even those stronger than her, her nervousness has vanished, and she was filled with calm. In a battle, you do not win with eagerness or hesitation, but you win with calm.

After the girls stood facing each other, Theseus said in a low voice, "Take notes."

The class nodded and they all initiated the recording feature of the camera on their communicators. Shi Lang nodded at this, the class did not want to lag behind and with a think tank like Theseus, they will not miss out on opportunities to learn. This surprised the other classes and before the duel even started a student from the advanced class said, "They became so good at putting up a facade. Teacher Shi must be tired of such wannabes, right?"

The surrounding students also began to speak, some in the open and some in secret. However, nothing that happened around the Special class, made them feel bothered. Theseus had told them, to take notes, not only of the battle but also of the surroundings. They will challenge these people in the future and show them what a facade was.

Yuu said, "You know the rules. I want a clean fight and you both will not attack each other with the intention of killing or crippling the other person. Pushing hard is fine, breaking bones is fine, but be mindful of fatalities, if you tried to break any rules, I will kill you right here, and right now."

As soon as she said that this and revealed her killing intention everyone realized that things were serious. Shi Lang frowned and said, "It is normal for a student to lose control of their intent when involved in a heated battle, they are both young and are thirsty for proving themselves. I would like to reserve the right to intervene if a deadly situation appears. Any objections?"

He was the strongest person in the academy, who dared to object to his proposal and the logic he used was reasonable.

Yuu nodded and said, "Introduce."

Quo Lina cupped her hands and said, "Quo Lina."

The girl opposite her frowned as she saw this girl calmly introducing herself. She also followed the gesture and said, "Alena Cross."

Yuu took a step back and said, "Begin."

The two girls moved, however, the experienced people were surprised to see that Quo Lina moved a beat faster than Alena, she took the charge and held the pace of the battle in her hand. This was surprising and unexpected.

Yuu was surprised, but as the two girls began to exchange blows, she became shocked. Quo Lina was matching all the attacks from Alena. She was able to keep up and sneak in some light attacks through Alena's guard. However, the shock did not come from this upper hand she gained, but from the indifference in her eyes.

It was as if fighting was something she has been doing her entire life. Yuu cast a gaze at Shi Lang and saw him smiling faintly in approval, this confirmed her guess, this guy had gone ahead and trained a killing machine.
