Chapter 45: Chapter 18: Suppression

From the initial weapon snatching to aerial defense, she was dismantling Major Sun’s advantage step by step.

Su Xiaocai held back her strength and sparred with Major Sun for a while, figuring out Major Sun’s close-combat tactics. She smiled lightly and shifted the direction of her hoe.

Major Sun suddenly felt the momentum coming at him like a tidal wave, unstoppable.

Move after move, each attack was cunning, and the ugly mecha’s movements had no discernible pattern.

Major Sun was shocked, unable to defend himself. The sense of oppression Su Xiaocai now gave him was like facing hundreds of enemies.

The mecha’s outer armor had been stripped of several pieces.

He forced himself to calm down and observe her.

The speed of those metal hands was too fast. Although he was a Level Four Qi Sensing, his eyes couldn’t keep up.

In merely three minutes, Major Sun felt as if he had gone through a long war. The silver-black mecha was already at its wits’ end.

There was absolutely no chance of a comeback.

Major Sun raised a white flag, “Alright, alright, I concede.” If the fight continued, his mecha would be dismantled, and losing that way would be even more embarrassing.

Su Xiaocai stopped, “Thanks for letting me win.”

“No, no, I lost. Thank you for going easy on me.” If Su Xiaocai had gone all out, his mecha might have been destroyed.

Her hoe hadn’t even been fully utilized, yet she had already rendered him powerless, so one could imagine how intimidating it would be if she did use it.

“You’re welcome.” Su Xiaocai had tried her best to hold back, but she couldn’t appear too weak, mainly because her mecha wouldn’t allow it.

The ugly mecha’s metal shell was a patchwork of second-hand and third-hand materials; getting hit could send a large piece flying out. Only the hoe was made of her synthesized metal, able to block red beams.

The ugly mecha itself wasn’t built for combat.

Using a farming machine for battle was already absurd, and if it went on for a few more minutes, it would surely start falling apart from within. So Su Xiaocai had to finish quickly.

Major Sun accepted his loss, “Your move to block the shots with the hoe was beautiful.”

“Want to learn?” Su Xiaocai smiled.

“Can I? If you’re willing, you could join the military directly, we’d welcome you.” Major Sun tried to recruit her.

If someone exhibits strong talent during their student years and is over sixteen, the military can independently recruit them, and after a background check, physical exam, and several assessments, they can join early.

“Thanks, but no.”

“What a pity. Joining the military early and earning merits, you could become a Major General before thirty.”

“Oh, no thanks.”

Major Sun’s words held no appeal.

Having lingered in such places for decades, it was no longer refreshing. The high-pressure life from the past made Su Xiaocai’s once thick hair considerably sparse, and fighting every day meant no normal life, only knowing tough guys and strong women.

She longed more for sweet girls and gentle boys, listening to their flattering words, making her feel at ease.

For example, now, her three roommates rushed over to hug her, “Ah, ah, ah, Caicai, you’re amazing.” Eight years of driving experience was no exaggeration. Without a bit of talent, her father wouldn’t have let her drive as a child.

“That was spectacular, so fierce, that move blocking the gun with a hoe was awesome.”

“I never liked watching mecha battles before, but your piloting skills are genuinely beautiful,” said Feng Wansha. From today, she declared herself a fan of mecha battles.

Su Xiaocai was also very happy, having won proved she passed the assessment.

Now she had plenty of time for farming.

Two teachers came over, hearing Major Sun still talking about the benefits of joining the military, his intentions all too clear.

A losing opponent had no right to recruit anyone; he should get lost.

They squeezed Major Sun out, “You couldn’t defeat our student, and you still want her to work under you? Dream on.”

“Had I known I would lose to a student, I wouldn’t have come.” Major Sun was somewhat regretful too.

Seeing the principal and other teachers approaching, he completely lost his chance and shelved the idea of recruiting.

Furthermore, he had one more question, “Junior, are you good at operating mechas in space?”

Su Xiaocai blinked, indicating she could and was good at it.

Major Sun said, “Next time, don’t join our patrol team. It affects my authority.” He stroked his chin, thinking that the new seed player for Military Training might just be this student in front of him.

This year’s competition was over, but next year’s event organized by the hosts could be anticipated.

Hoping Su Xiaocai could remain a bit low key, becoming a dark horse.

Everyone: “…” Where’s your image? Your gentlemanly demeanor just flew into outer space.

The more the two teachers looked at Su Xiaocai, the more precious she seemed. They didn’t know how she learned, but her mecha piloting skills were just too good, and they had already mentally reserved her a spot as a contestant for the Ten Stars Mecha Tournament.
