Chapter 1150: Departure
Teacher Mu Jianling spoke a few words, lightly brushing off the chattering group of students whose noise almost drowned the entire training room, leaving them speechless, each with flushed faces, wishing they could find a place to hide.
Mu Jianling felt no guilt after striking down others. She looked at all the students, and after scanning them, her gaze landed on Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and a few others, saying, "I’ll say it again, there’s no special training, no pre-competition guidance."
Silence.
An expanse of silence.
...
Since Teacher Mu says so, then there definitely won’t be any special coaching for the ten participating students.
So...
Is it really just like that?
Many students from the 131st batch couldn’t help but turn around and look at Ji You and the few others, finding that upon hearing Mu Jianling’s words, neither their facial expressions nor their physical postures showed any change.
They genuinely seemed not to have the slightest panic...
Not a facade, pretending to be calm, but truly not a hint of fear.
For a moment, the students began self-reflecting.
Mu Jianling looked at her group of students, secretly satisfied: They understand self-reflection, they have some sense of it in their hearts. So, Mu Jianling said, "I haven’t given them special training because every day I teach you is special training."
Wow~
Students raised their heads.
Mu Jianling said, "The tallest building starts from the ground up, as long as you can complete your daily training tasks on time and as excellently as possible, once the basics are solid, you won’t be afraid of any competition. Alliance First Military Academy? Alliance Second Military Academy? Alliance... all military academies? What is there to fear? Just fight."
No one could argue with Teacher Mu’s words.
After listening, everyone took it to heart, and everyone tightened their fists, feeling their blood boil even more.
Mu Jianling raised her hand and said, "Class dismissed."
The students immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Teacher Mu."
...
There are 5 days left until the competition, of which 3 days will be spent on the spaceship. After reaching the Alliance Main Star, you report to the competition organizer in advance, then handle the formalities, and move into the competition area...
Take some time to adjust to the time difference and then familiarize yourself with the competition area... basically, a day goes by.
Therefore, Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao and 10 other participating classmates have only 1 day left on Lanyue Star.
Since returning to school, Ji You and the others have been in high-intensity self-training. Except for Liu Fufeng occasionally absent, the other nine haven’t slackened at all. Every day after training, they gather to engage in free-for-alls or one-on-one matches...
Afterward, they exchange reviews.
In this way, everyone can feel the progress between each other, especially Ji You, whose physical strength has always been her weak spot, but her willpower is extraordinary. Relying on her strong willpower, she always manages to be the last one standing in free-for-alls.
In short, everyone has improved.
...
On the last day before departure, Ji You decided to take a break for herself. She went to find Xie Lingzhi, also sought out Senior Shi Ya, and even looked for Senior He Bi but—without exception, faced closed doors everywhere.
Left with no choice, Ji You had to find Mengmeng.
At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, before Ji You stepped inside, Mengmeng darted over like a firecracker, rushing into Ji You’s arms. Ji You patted Mengmeng’s head and said with a smile, "Mengmeng, I really missed you."
Mengmeng: "Meh!"
[Don’t miss.]
Ji You pretended to leave: "Really don’t miss?"
Seeing this, Mengmeng quickly shouted: "Aagh——"
[You are not allowed to leave!]
[I order you not to leave!]
Ji You stopped and said with a grin, "I won’t leave. Without Mengmeng’s permission, I won’t go anywhere. Even if Mengmeng tells me to leave, I’ll go to one place, and that place is—Mengmeng’s heart."
After hearing this, Mengmeng’s ears twitched: "Meh——"
[Liar!]
[Big liar!]
But!
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng’s big, glistening eyes twinkled like stars. Its fluffy cheeks and soft head couldn’t help but nuzzle against Ji You’s cheeks.
Ji You stroked the alpaca’s fluffy head while seriously saying, "I really want to be a liar because Mengmeng is too smart, not easy to deceive at all. Otherwise, why haven’t I managed to win Mengmeng’s heart after all this time?"
Mengmeng: "Meh!"
[Liar!]
[Hmph!]
[You’re just a big liar!]
"Meh! Meh! Meh!"
Mengmeng appeared very angry, but its actions were quite happy, constantly rubbing its big head against Ji You. Ji You said with a laugh, "Alright, alright, I’m a liar. Once I’ve tricked Mengmeng, I’ll retire."
Saying this, Ji You handed Mengmeng a large handful of fresh grass and said with a smile, "A gift for Mr. Mengmeng, be sure to enjoy it today."
Mengmeng: "Meh!"
Even happier.
Next to them, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang... a few people watched this scene, and Yue Qiguang couldn’t help but complain: "Number 4444, aren’t you a bit much? Are you still human? Not even leaving an alpaca alone."
Yue Qiyuan said, "Don’t be surprised. She’s not human at all."
Chu Jiaojiao interjected fairly, "You must be jealous of Ji You being good-looking and appealing to Mengmeng, right?"
Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan said in unison, "Would I/dad be jealous of her?"
Chu Jiaojiao laughingly watched Ji You and Mengmeng interact, wholeheartedly envious, said, "Anyway, I’m jealous. I’m jealous that Ji You can freely touch an alpaca’s head, and I’m jealous that the alpaca can freely kiss Ji You’s face!!! Yingyingying..." Saying this, Chu Jiaojiao suddenly covered her face and wailed, "I am just too jealous!!!"
No one paid attention to Chu Jiaojiao, and all of them stepped into the hot pot restaurant.
After having a feast at the hot pot restaurant, Ji You and the group parted ways, each returning to their dormitory. That night, Ji You did nothing, going to bed early.
The next morning, Ji You got up early, packed her baggage, hitched a ride with Sheng Qingyan, and went to the gathering point for going to the Main Star Nami Star. The gathering point was located at the Lanyue Star Military School’s exclusive Flying Device Dock. The dock was spacious and housed various flying devices, ranging in size, with a small spaceship carrying Ji You and the group to Nami Star having a capacity of about 50 people.
Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, along with Yu Song, who has a very good relationship with Shen Changqing, had already arrived earlier.
Shortly after Ji You and Sheng Qingyan got off the Floating Car, the brothers Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan also arrived.
Then.
It was Lou, Lance.
Lastly, it was a staggering Liu Fufeng, gasping with each step.
All 10 participating students arrived, only the accompanying teacher was yet to arrive. When Ji You and others thought the accompanying teacher would obviously be Teacher Mu Jianling, as a Floating Car pulled up, seeing the person standing in front of them, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and others opened their mouths wide: "..."
