Chapter 539: 539
The principal nodded . His face showed a hint of regret as he said, "I wasn't in the military academy at the time . By the time I learned about it, it was already too late for me to get back to the academy . " With an expression of sadness, he continued, "The Flying Dragon Special Forces is a battle team that every cadet dreams of getting into . However, even a single Flying Dragon medal is rarely given out every decade . The medal represents the acknowledgement of the country that the awardee is the top in their field and possesses the most potential for growth . It is also what every student dreams about . The medal not only represents glory and status, but at the same time, it also means that you will instantly become a member of the Flying Dragon Special Forces . There would be no need for the cadets to go through a series of harsh evaluations and eliminations . "
After saying all this, the principal couldn't help but hold onto his chest . "Such a rare chance . That punk . Li Shiyu, was it? He actually gave up on this chance . Every time I think about it, my heart aches . " He recalled another Flying Dragon medal that could have been awarded many years ago—that punk Ling Xiao was also the same . The man hadn't even notified him and refused on his own accord .
"Actually, I really admire Li Shiyu . He wouldn't leave his comrades behind for a better future," Tang Yu said with admiration . Even if it were he himself who was faced with the invitation into the Flying Dragon Special Forces, the honor and glory that the Flying Dragon medal had to offer would have been enough to lure him in . However, Li Shiyu had actually outright refused the invitation given by the military's representative and hadn't hesitated even one bit . Tang Yu still remembered the stunned and disbelieving expression on the representative's face; perhaps the man had never imagined someone would reject their offer .
"I think that the First Men's Military Academy will become the Flying Dragon Special Forces' nightmare in the future," said Tang Yu with a laugh . The only two people who had ever rejected the invitation from the Flying Dragon Special Forces were both from the First Men's Military Academy .
The principal smiled bitterly at his words . "It's possible that the military will no longer invite the First Men's Military Academy for a chance to participate in the future evaluations to enter the Flying Dragon Special Forces . "
Those folks all held grudges . After Ling Xiao's rejection, the First Men's Military Academy still had outstanding students in the following years . However, the military was angered to the point of being willing to choose average cadets from other military academies, not giving a chance to the cadets from the First Men's Military Academy to participate in the evaluations . Later on, the Federation finally managed to find another top cadet that made the military give up on their pride and offer that a cadet a Flying Dragon medal . Unfortunately, at that time, their graciousness was met with the cold shoulder from the First Men's Military Academy once again… Thinking up to this point, the principal felt even worse . It was possible that there was no hope for their military academy to receive an invitation to any evaluations for the Flying Dragon Special Forces in the future .
"Although the chance that slipped away is indeed very unfortunate, I still think our students don't really care about it," Tang Yu said positively .
"What do you mean by that?" the principal asked confusedly .
"There's General Ling Xiao! The 23rd Division is where our cadets want to go nowadays . " The Flying Dragon Special Forces was indeed a great place to go and all their members were also indeed the top in their fields . However, all of this couldn't compare to General Ling Xiao, whom everyone looked up to . Ling Xiao's growth was like a legend and had created records one after the other . He had pressured the Flying Dragon Special Forces to the extent where they had to take a few steps back . This also made the Flying Dragon Special Forces unable to become a dream that Ling Xiao's generation chased after .
"That's true . Not even I understand what kind of godly existence that punk Ling Xiao is . " The principal was very much in agreement with Tang Yu .
Tang Yu's words made the principal's mood instantly change for the better . Along with his improved mood, his logical thinking became clearer as well; he had now remembered some things that he had previously forgotten . He asked with surprise in his tone, "Tang Yu, do you mean that that Li Shiyu has joined a battle team? I remember he was in the medicinal research major . Aren't those guys neutral and never join battle teams?"
Even if the cadets of that major joined battle teams for different reasons, they would only sign temporary contracts . After entering a division, they would go their own separate ways . The principal had always believed that Li Shiyu was free to choose what he had wanted, but he couldn't understand why Li Shiyu would reject the invitation from the Flying Dragon Special Forces . It should be known that once he entered the Flying Dragon Special Forces, Li Shiyu would be nurtured by the country using all of their resources . With such a promising road ahead, even those who were lazy and dumb could become a top expert in the field of medicine in the Federation after years of this type of nurturing .
"That's what everyone says, but there are always outliers—Li Shiyu is one of them . In his fourth year, he joined Ling Lan's battle team and became the battle team's doctor . "
Tang Yu's words stunned the already dumbfounded principal . If Ling Lan was with them, it was possible that the principal would hold onto her shoulders and yell at her, "Sh*t, did your small battle team really need to get the valedictorian of the military medicine major as your team doctor? Don't you know that this is a big waste and a huge crime?"
The principal took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down . He reluctantly rubbed his forehead and sighed as he said, "Tell me, do you think this Ling Lan is trying to create his own private Flying Dragon Special Forces?" The members that she had taken in all made him envious . Besides, what she had done by taking the ace military doctor that the Flying Dragon Special Forces had approved of was even more so like taking prey away from a predator .
Tang Yu thought deeply for a moment then said, "That's very possible . " Based on Ling Lan's requirements of only taking in top tier geniuses into her team, it was definitely possible that she was trying to form a team that was of similar strength to the Flying Dragon Special Forces that the Federation had created . However, this also showed that Ling Lan's luck was insane; otherwise, how could she have so many monstrous individuals beside her?
While the principal and Tang Yu were having this conversation, the mecha that Xie Yi was operating, as well as a mecha from Leiting, had almost simultaneously discovered one another . The audience instantly focused their attention and stared at the big screen . The distance between the two mechas was getting closer and closer…
"Found one mecha from Lingtian, serial number: Lingtian No . 1!" This mecha's serial number was Leiting No . 9 . When both sides were at the distance of being able to determine the other's serial number, this operator finally found the mecha that their captain had ordered him to search for when they split up at the beginning of the battle .
"Captain, we've discovered Lingtian No . 1 . Mecha Type: Balanced Mecha . Coordinates: (xx,xx) . " The team member had decisively pressed down on the button to connect him to his captain .
"Alright, try your best to keep him busy . " His captain's cold voice rang from the other side of the communicator . The operator received the order and decisively took out his beam saber from his back and flew towards the opponent . He still remembered the captain telling him that although the opponent was piloting a balanced mecha, his long-range abilities were stronger . Thus, he wanted to get as close as possible to the opponent captain and try his best to engage in close combat .
"Look, Lingtian No . 1 is being surrounded by Leiting mechas hundreds of yards from its location . " After Lingtian No . 1 was discovered, the spectators saw that 4 mechas were all closing in on Lingtian No . 1's location .
"Looks like Leiting wants to capture the king first and take care of Lingtian's captain . " Leiting's goal was very clear, but those who knew the truth of the situation all frowned . Wasn't this falling into Lingtian's trap?
"Even if they don't take out Lingtian's captain, with four people surrounding him, this Lingtian No . 1 won't be able to fight them . Taking out one opponent first is also good . " There were still many people who favored Leiting . Compared to Lingtian, who were fighting by themselves, Leiting's members were now clearly in three-man groups . Once they successfully created a team, things wouldn't be that easy for Lingtian even if they attempted assassinations .
