Hunt.

The two classes engaging in wars were all visible to the school faculty and the other invigilators. The strategy from the two groups was visible to the experienced people. Aries and Rackham sat together with the school faculty observing the match.

Suddenly, Igor Dmitri, the headteacher of the battle class said, "Teacher Rosa had done a good job this time. The students from your class surely are surprising."

Rosa smiled at him formally and returned her focus to the screen. How can she not understand that this guy was trying to lead her into a trap and then make her do something that might reflect badly upon her students and her career? The principal of the school was also present at the spot. He heard these words and recalled his meeting with Shi Lang.

He said, "Instructor Igor is indeed correct. There are some really good talents in the technology class this year. Instructor Rosa did a good job."

The other faculty members also supported her with a kind smile and nods of acknowledgment. Igor wanted to say something more but, he suddenly heard Aries say, "Technology branch took the initiative."

...

Shi Lang and his team were setting up the traps when the decoy sent them a signal. The people nodded and hid inside the forest. This team consisted of the best players in the class, Lucas was the decoy, Shi Lang, Jane, Simon, were the guerilla's and Tim hid among the virtual leaves as the sniper.

Lucas went ahead of them and found a group of three people heading toward their position, so before he alerted the enemy, he sent a brief message back to Shi Lang through the communication equipment.

"Shi, three tangos, assaulters," said Lucas.

Assaulter was a term used to describe a trooper who had assault-oriented equipment over themselves. These assaulters were the vanguard of the military. Their combat level could be said to be horrifying. A team of five official assaulters alone could level down a mob of fifty, three-star Terrans.

Shi Lang replied to him with a go-ahead and Lucas drew attention to himself by stepping on a twig under his feet and then he ran back. He deliberately exposed his back to the enemy while shuttling through the trees. He had to make sure that the three did not find anything wrong and kept chasing him.

He did not run back blindly, on the way he took cover behind some trees and fired shots at his pursuers. One of his shots grazed the shoulder of the wingman, the rest flew around them. The battle class students were triggered by the injury their friend suffered. They began to chase after Lucas to avenge this humiliation.

What else could Shi Lang want? They kept hiding behind their covers as they saw Lucas moving closer to them. Shi Lang spoke in the comms, "Hide your breath like I told you and also, do not point your vision at their backs, and face. Watch their legs and shadows."

He did not only give them pointers in their studies but also told them all the martial skills that he could. They were all people who longed for strength, despite their Star status they all wished to improve and thus Shi Lang parted his knowledge on martial skills at them as well.

At first, some people asked him how he found this all out. After all, he was the weakest of them all. So, he just said that it was learned from old books. The students learned from him and tried these tricks in games they played with each other. The results shocked them to the core. These things actually worked.

Shi Lang was the weakest but he was the most dangerous of them all. He would always target the weakness they would expose. Only when he faced brute force will he be defeated. As soon as they heard his commands, they all followed without hesitation.

Lucas suddenly tripped on the ground and before he could get up a stun bullet hit him in the back. Shi Lang had yet to give out any signals to attack. He was waiting patiently. The three assaulters charged up to Lucas, immediately surrounding him. The boy in the lead said, "Technology trash dares to hurt us. Who gave you the guts?"

With that said, the boy kicked Lucas hard in his ribs. Lucas applied the trick held his breath to lower the damage on his body. His body still skidded on the ground from the impact. The other guy raised his gun and said, "Why to waste an effort, clean him up and find the other trash. They dared to fight us. Humph."

He aimed at the boy and said, "Tata." as the corner of his lips raised.

Followed by that a light flashed. Shi Lang took out his tactical knife and charged at the person closest to him, this guy was the one who kicked Lucas earlier. Jane also reacted and attacked the third guy with her knife. The light flash earlier was the shot Tim took at the guy who was about to kill Lucas.

The actions were completed in one blink. Shi Lang and Jane burst forward with explosive strength and before the assaulters even had a chance to react, they had cold knives stuck in their necks. The armor only left a neck unguarded and thus it was exploited by the technology class.

They had no fear of the blood pouring on their hands making them warm and sticky. They all had been playing such battles in the games from a young age. The two assaulted slowly sensed life seeping out of them and fell to the ground.

Shi Lang cleaned his knife before storing it on his thigh sheath. He raised his head and signaled Tim to get moving. He said, "Simon, Rig them?"

Simon nodded and rigged the three bodies together and they left the place.

...

Igor slammed the table, "Vicious snakes, how dare they do something like this to the dead bodies of their comrades? Teacher Rosa is this what you taught them?"

Rosa raised her eyebrow and said, "Where were you when your students called my kids, Trash? They are fighting against each other, so what comrades? Do I need to tell you the treatment my students face from your class? You better shut up before I file a legal complaint on how you and your faculty look at the mental quality of your rabid students."

Her words were aggressive and her eyes were cold. She did not show it but if someone dared to call out her students lowly and stuff, she was an angry hen protecting the eggs. Her retort surprised a lot of higher-ups and Igor was stunned. Principal Stevenson said, "Calm down the two of you, the exam is still ongoing. I do not like the lack of decorum."

His solemn tone and aura radiated from him made the people shiver and they all settled down.
