Chapter 10 Special Training Students

"Have you seen this yet? Let me introduce it to you. This is an Iron Head Training Mecha. Each one is worth millions of Federation dollars—extremely expensive! So be gentle and take care during your training."

Tang Yan proudly introduced it to all the students.

"Millions of Federation dollars? Teacher, you must be kidding us. These Training Mechas look quite outdated, almost like second-hand ones. How could they be so expensive?"

Chen Tong and others expressed their disbelief.

"What do you know? Mechas are inherently expensive, the craftsmanship is complex, and production has always been unable to keep up; this is actually considered cheap. Alright, enough about that. We're short on time, so let's have everyone take a turn."

Tang Yan coughed and responded sternly.

"Okay then."

The crowd replied excitedly.

"Mink, Chen Tong... you guys go first. Don't be nervous, just operate it like you would in the simulation training pod. There's not much difference."

Tang Yan directly selected the class leader and others to test it first, as these five had the best grades and could set an example for everyone.

"Okay!"

The group of five, including Mink, responded eagerly.

At that moment, several figures, hearing the commotion, also came out from the resting area and walked over to the observation deck, leaning on the railing to look down.

"Everyone, look at the observation deck above!"

Huang Mao, clearly thrilled, shouted to his classmates.

Su Ming and others instinctively looked up, only to be momentarily taken aback by the people they saw on the observation deck.

There stood Lin Chuyu in a school uniform, quietly watching them. Besides her, stood three men and a woman.

While Su Ming did not recognize everyone, it did not mean other students didn't.

At that moment, one of the girls excitedly exclaimed.

"Li Fubai, it really is him!"

Upon hearing this name, Su Ming followed the girls' gaze. It rested on a skinny tall guy on Lin Chuyu's left, with fair skin, wearing glasses, and a slightly mischievous look in his eyes.

He couldn't help but take a few more looks, especially since, according to Huang Mao, Li Fubai was also looking to cause him trouble.

"Ah, how interesting. It's never been so lively here before."

At that moment, a man leaning on the railing, of average build and appearance, and somewhat lazy demeanor, commented with interest.

"Zhou Wei, has your brain been kicked by a donkey? What's so interesting? Since when has the real training field become a melting pot where anyone can come to train?"

Zhang Tai replied very irritably, especially when he saw the so-called "nerdy fatso" among the crowd; it disgusted him even more.

"Mind your own business. I think it's interesting, and that's good enough. If you have objections, why don't you drive them out?"

Zhou Wei didn't pamper Zhang Tai.

"You..."

Zhang Tai was immediately filled with anger.

"Calm down, don't get angry."

Just as he was about to lose his temper, a quiet girl next to him, wearing black-rimmed glasses and looking rather sophisticated, advised him.

"What Sun Yue said is right, stop arguing."

Lin Chuyu spoke calmly.

"Humph!"

Zhang Tai suppressed his anger, mainly because he didn't want to lose face in front of Lin Chuyu.

At that moment, Tang Yan also noticed Lin Chuyu and the others, a complex expression crossing his face. The students he was teaching this year were indeed very mediocre; none in the entire class had been selected for special training.

However, despite that, he still held high hopes for his students. Yet seeing them in such a mess, unable to compare with others, he became quite annoyed and sternly chided.

"Quiet down, what a mess! It's class time, focus your attention on the training."

Suddenly all the students quieted down, seeing that the teacher was getting a bit angry.

"Everyone get back."

Tang Yan immediately told Su Ming and the others.

"Okay, teacher."

Su Ming and the others immediately stepped back.

Tang Yan instructed Mink and his four teammates.

"In front of the Mecha, there is an elevator tile that can take you to the cockpit. Also, be careful when operating it—don't be too rough!"

"Understood!"

Mink and his team nodded in response and eagerly walked toward the training Mecha.

Soon they reached the training Mecha, then stepped on a metal tile marked with symbols.

Click~

With a crisp sound, the metal tile rose, lifting them up to the cockpit.

Mink and the others opened the cockpit at the belly of the training Mecha, climbed in one by one, and closed the cockpit.

The next second, on the rounded heads of the five training Mechas, a cross-shaped display device lit up with a big red dot.

One by one, the five training Mechas started up, emitting a piercing roar.

"They've started, come on!"

The surrounding students shouted excitedly.

At that moment, each training Mecha moved, lifting their mechanical left legs one after another, but soon they began to lose their balance, each body tilting to varying degrees.

Seeing this, Tang Yan's heart immediately jumped into his throat as he hurriedly shouted.

"Stabilize, don't panic!"

Mink and the others quickly pulled the control levers to adjust the bodies, causing the five training Mechas to sway back and forth like one-legged stands.

"They're going to fall!"

Yellow Hair and others shouted nervously.

Boom~

One by one, loud crashes occurred as four Mechas fell to the ground in succession, even Chen Tong couldn't stabilize. Only Mink was still struggling, awkwardly controlling his twisted Mecha.

"Ha ha! This is killing me. I thought they would show some skills, but they can't even stand properly."

Zhou Wei watched the scene, laughing so hard he almost cried.

In fact, there is a significant difference between a real Mecha and the training simulator, especially since the academy's training simulator isn't top-tier, with only an 80% accuracy and completely different operation feel and body sensation.

Moreover, it was their first time controlling a real Mecha, and they were bound to be very nervous, so it wasn't surprising that they all fell.

"Zhou Wei, stop laughing."

Lin Chuyu spoke softly.

"Ha ha, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, just couldn't help it."

Zhou Wei responded with a laugh.

At that moment, the Mecha controlled by Mink tilted significantly, making Tang Yan's heart turn cold.

However, luckily, just as the training Mecha was about to fall, Mink forcefully pulled up the control lever and stabilized it narrowly.

"The class president stabilized it, impressive!"

Some girls happily started clapping.

Tang Yan also sighed with relief.

At this time, the fallen Mechas, one by one, shakily stood up, but some just got up and then slammed down again with a snap.

Watching this scene, Tang Yan felt his heart bleeding; while the training Mechas were rough and resistant to falls,

they couldn't withstand such mishandling, after all. So many people still had to try their hands on it, and if the damage exceeded the school's warranty limit, he would have to pay dearly.

However, despite feeling very pained, Tang Yan had no intention of calling a halt.
