Chapter 629
Zhang Shan took a quick glance at Wang Zheng . He could tell that Wang Zheng was moved . The runic mecha here were exclusive to mankind and were genuinely superb . In all the other militaries of the Milky Way Alliance, there was presently no other mech that could even come close . Everyone desired to own a mech like this .
"Are you two actually thinking of giving it a shot? I think it would be best to forget about it . Wang Zheng's mecha piloting may be decent, but it's useless anyway . The lowest level of Ability X among the Xuan Grade is C rank, with the B rank being considered the norm . This isn't just a hypothetical situation, it would actually be impossible for y'all to demonstrate your skills . "
"Coward, as long as the school allows it, we can give it a shot . The important thing is to participate in order to let big bro here check out how great these Xuan Grade students really are . For all you may know, they may not even be able to beat me . " Zhang Shan remarked .
Eisen did not know whether to laugh or cry . After all, he was already accustomed to this guy's blind overconfidence .
"Where do we register?" Wang Zheng asked . Perhaps this was the chance he was looking for, since Olivios probably could not wait any longer . In actual fact Wang Zheng felt the same and this opportunity was unquestionably a good one either way .
"Ah, you all really intend to sign up?" Eisen replied .
"Why not?" Zhang Shan swung his arms, "How could we bear to miss such a good practice opportunity?"
"All you have to do is to directly enter your student number into the link . As to whether or not you're qualified enough to take part, the decision will lie entirely with the school . " Eisen explained .
Students in the Xuan Grade and above were all allowed to participate, whereas the students in the Huang Grade had to pass an evaluation . After all, standards had to be maintained and spots were not to be filled with just about anyone . This was to ensure that the competition between those in the Xuan Grade would not be negatively affected . A Xuan Grader could face off with another Xuan Grader, whereas it was also possible for another Xuan Grader to face a Huang Grader instead . This could result in an unlevel playing field .
As a result, while Huang Graders were technically allowed to sign up, not all of them would be allowed to participate .
The others in the classroom were also actively discussing whether to sign up or not . They were mostly on the fence about it . Participating would only just be for show but not signing up felt like giving up a chance for a shot at glory .
Upon further thought, the gap between the Xuan Grade and Huang Grade did not seem that large after all . The Xuan Graders had higher rank Ability X, but it was not to the extent that they were unsurpassable . If the quality of one's Ability X was good enough, perhaps it could even compensate for this disparity . The Xuan Graders were also more experienced, but this was relative as well . Ultimately, combat was an unpredictable thing after all .
Furthermore, Olivios supposedly beat up someone from the Xuan Grade before, so perhaps the Xuan Grade individuals were not as formidable as everyone imagined . They were only human after all, so there would always be a possibility of taking them on . Moreover, there was also a chance that some instructor would be on the lookout for talents demonstrated during the competition and choose to take a participant under their wing as a result .
As a result, everyone held conflicting views regarding the situation . Of course, there were also those who were decisive . The majority of students from Huang Grade Class 1 immediately applied . They did not really have anything to hesitate about . Some of them were about to be promoted soon, so this was an undeniably great opportunity for them . If they were able to obtain the mech, it would be just be killing two birds with one stone .
Wang Zheng entered his own student number, but a message immediately popped up on the screen, "Your application has already been received . Please avoid submitting a repeat application . "
Wang Zheng stared blankly . It seemed like someone had already applied on his behalf . He did not know which kind soul it was but at least this saved him the trouble of applying .
Once news of the event was out, everyone immediately became more proactive in their training . This was indeed well thought out by the school .
The combat strategy class was rather calm . The first half of the class was for all intents and purposes a history class . Classic examples of small to large scale battles from the Milky Way Alliance's history were covered with the goal of providing the students with a broader world view . However, no further words needed to be said, for each generation gave rise to new legends, and the stories behind these individuals took the listeners' breaths away .
This included incomparably heroic stories of tides being turned . One example included the miracle created by the godlike general of Arbiter . Due to advancement in weaponry, a single individual was able to act at the right time to achieve the grand accomplishment of reversing the entire battle situation to his side's favor . Just listening to such cases made one's blood race with excitement .
There were even more ordinary tales of the art of war - or simply put the cruelties of warfare . The course of human development had always been a song of ice and fire filled with battles and disputes . In the midst of such chaos, there was always the undeniable presence of formidable ones who proved themselves across many instances of battle . Even in recent years such a situation persisted, but the difference was that at present the Milky Way Alliance was in its most stable period since its formation . While frictions persisted between various regions, on a whole the Alliance was in a period of growth and expansion . Furthermore, such a situation had already been maintained for decades . In this period of time, the various nations of mankind experienced remarkable economic recovery and progress, for they were slowly reaping the benefits from the achievements of the Great Interstellar Voyage .
The day's lessons came to an end, and everyone's attention was drawn away from their combat tactics class to the mecha combat selection match - in particular the probability of being able to participate . The quota of five was not that small but in this situation there were definitely not enough slots to go around and competition was definitely going to be tough . Still, having something was better than nothing .
Zhang Shan registered as well, for he would never be able to give up such an opportunity . Even if he was to be crushed he would still take part . After all, being crushed was a prerequisite to eventually crushing your future opponents .
Wang Zheng had to prepare as well . In particular, he had to focus his efforts on preparing his Ability X . He had to prepare his Windflame Wheels at least, or else it would be difficult to deal with the opposing individuals from the Xuan Grade . He found it difficult to believe that there were no experts among the Xuan Grade at all .
The World of Saints was unquestionably the most convenient place to test out the Windflame Wheels since he could refine the Atomic Burst there . In terms of body training techniques, he was undoubtedly in the top tier but when it came to Ability X, he fell behind the others in Elite Academy . This was going to be an obvious flaw for Wang Zheng .
