When the principal in front of Tang Tian heard that, he immediately frowned.

“Old Tang, I’ve heard of this Qin Yue. He’s the most talented student of the Academy’s mecha pilots this year.

“… But are you sure that what you said is true?”

When Tang Tian heard this, he could not help but reveal a bitter expression.

“My old principal, it’s true! My reputation as Old Tang’s is at stake here. Why would I lie to you?!”

The principal glanced at the old antique clock on the wall and said embarrassedly.

“This… I’m afraid it won’t work for the time being. Qin Yue is in the elite class. The federation has ordered that we have to go to a Desolate Star for the trial today.”

“Even if I tell the higher-ups about this matter now, they will probably all be on that Desolate Star by the time they approve your request!”

At the same time, in the elite class of the Mecha Academy…

Qin Yue strolled into the classroom and went straight to where Ling Ru and the other two sat.

“Little Brother Qin Yue, you’re so calm. You don’t seem to be worried about the Desolate Star Trial at all!”

Looking at Qin Yue’s relaxed expression, Tang Lin could not help but tease him.

“Aren’t you guys the same?

“You aren’t worried about encountering danger on a Desolate Star at all?” Qin Yue asked back.

“What’s there to be afraid of? If it’s just dealing with Alien Beasts, our team will be able to handle it.”

Ling Ru clenched her fists and said confidently, “Furthermore, our team is very strong. With you as our trump card, we are actually looking forward to this Desolate Star Trial.”

Qin Yue did not say anything when he heard that. Instead, he swept his gaze across the other teams in the class.

There were thirty-five people in the class and seven teams. Other than them, Qin Yue could more or less see some expressions of worry on the faces of the other students.

After all, the Desolate Star Trial was not truly safe. A single mistake could cause a planetary disaster!

At that moment, instructor Wang Yangming walked into the classroom.

Looking at the classroom that was filled to the brim, Wang Yangming nodded his head in satisfaction. A full seat meant that no one would be afraid before a battle.

“Before entering the Desolate Star, I’ll give you a warning.”

“This trial is to fight against real Alien Beasts. It’s not like the entrance trial, where you will only suffer some superficial injuries!”

“You won’t have any support for this battle. Whether you can complete the trial and become a real mecha pilot is entirely up to you.”

After saying that, everyone below the podium nodded solemnly.

A moment later, Wang Yangming announced solemnly.

“Before you enter the Desolate Star, you have to choose a mecha that matches your Mental Strength levels.”

“Of course, you are all talented students. The mecha that the federation has chosen for you are very different from the mecha used by the normal classes.”

In the Mecha Academy, there were two differences between the elite class and the normal class.

The first was naturally the cadet’s Mental Strength levels.

In the ordinary class, Mental Strength levels were generally at 10 points.

For example, Qin Yue’s class was the top elite class. Their Mental Strength levels were at least 24 points.

The second was obviously the mecha they would be piloting.

In the ordinary class, their Mental Strength levels could only be used to drive Training Mecha.

Training Mecha were no different from toys in front of a Bodyguard Mecha that was in pristine condition and had weapons.

“All of you set off and choose your mecha!”

Wang Yangming waved his hand and led the seven teams straight to the mecha hangar.

The mecha hangar that they were heading to this time was not the same mecha hangar that Qin Yue had been to during the entrance examination.

Here, all of the mecha were of Bodyguard class, and they were all equipped with a complete loadout. Their firepower was undeniable.

As soon as they entered the mecha hangar, they saw over a hundred different types of cool mecha.

The hundreds of Bodyguard Mecha arrayed in line assaulted everyone’s vision and caused them to exclaim in surprise.

“F*ck, this is the first time I’ve seen so many Bodyguard Mecha!”

“You aren’t the only one! But this time we can pilot them personally. Just thinking about it is making me giddy.”

Ever since they entered the mecha hangar, everyone’s gaze had never left these mecha.

“Alright, before choosing a mecha, let’s first understand their types.”

“Mecha can be divided into four types: Assault-type, Devastator-type, High-speed type, and Defensive-type.”

“Assault-type, losing a portion of their firepower as well as their defense for increased close-combat capabilities. Equipped with an MMA-Lacerta Beam Saber, at the same time, its four limbs can be modified into powerful close-combat weapons!”

“The Devastator type is equipped with firepower that far surpasses that of other types of mecha of the same level. It is adept at using firepower to suppress and kill from afar!”

“The High-speed mecha has shed some unimportant weapons and defensive systems for pure speed. The entire body of the mecha is extremely light, and is the most agile!”

“The body of a Defensive mecha is heavy. A portion of its core is made of materials that are sturdier than the ones used in the other types, making it more resistant to blows than any other mecha of any level!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yangming took a deep breath. After taking a few breaths, he spoke again.

“Alright, after thinking for a while, go and choose a mecha that suits your own battle preferences!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to ponder. They were all thinking about what type of mecha would suit them. After all, as long as they chose the right type of mecha, only then would they be able to display their potential while piloting it.

As for Qin Yue, after hearing Wang Yangming’s introduction, he had a better understanding of the type of mecha and their battle preferences.

But to be honest, Qin Yue was very hesitant in his heart.

Every type of mecha had a very strong allure for him. After all, with his martial arts knowledge, there was no type of mecha that Qin Yue was not good at piloting.

However, he had no choice. After all, he could not pick all the different types of mecha. He could only choose one of these mecha that he was satisfied with for the time being.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yue started to pick out his preferred mecha.

Looking at the various types of mecha in front of him, Qin Yue suddenly thought of his system. He did not know if he could check the attributes of these mecha.

“System, check the attributes of the Mecha,” Qin Yue thought tentatively in his heart.

[ Ding! Interface activated. ]

Just as he had this thought, the dull mechanical voice of the system suddenly rang out in Qin Yue’s mind.

Swoosh!

In just an instant, a blue screen appeared in front of Qin Yue’s eyes.

On the screen, there was a three-dimensional map of the mecha in front of Qin Yue, as well as the basic information of the mecha.

[ Bodyguard Mecha: Assault-type ]

[ Mecha model: X10A-Amber ]

[ Mecha height: 35 meters ]

[ Basic strength: 25]

[ Basic speed: 21]

[ Basic defense: 20]

[ Basic firepower: 21]

[ Armaments: MMA-Lacerta Beam Saber, Amy-015 Wolf Claw ]

[ Tonnage: 390 tons ]

[ Mental Strength level: 20 — 50 points ]

“Basic firepower, speed, defense, and strength are indeed inferior.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yue looked at another mecha beside him. This mecha had a weapon protruding from the back of its arms. With a glance, he could tell that this was a Devastator type.

“System, scan this Mecha’s information.”

Shua!

In an instant, the basic contents and three-dimensional drawing on the screen in front of Qin Yue changed once again.

[ Bodyguard mecha: Devastator Type ]

[ Mecha model: A50-Falcon ]

[ Mecha’s height: 33 meters ]

[ Basic strength: 21]

[ Basic speed: 19]

[ Basic defense: 20]

[ Basic firepower: 26]

[ Armaments: TG-10 Sirius Beam Cannon, ZY-091 Beastmaster Plasma Cannon ]

[ Tonnage: 470 tons ]

[ Mental Strength level: 20 — 50 points ]

Looking at the data in front of him, Qin Yue could not help but mutter.

“This firepower is really befitting its title of a Devastator class mecha.”

“However, against a high-speed opponent, it would basically be useless.”

Looking at the comparison of these mechas in various aspects, Qin Yue revealed a melancholic expression. For a moment, he did not know what to choose.

“These are not my ideal type of mecha!”
