Chapter 124: Special Training (Extra for Alliance Leader PureRedApple) (Fourth Update)
by SunflowerAt this moment, Mia walked towards Su Ming. When she reached Su Ming and the others, she waved her hand casually.
“Let’s go!”
“Oh yeah!”
Zhang Yi and the others shouted excitedly.
Mia looked at the students’ smiling faces and also showed a brilliant smile. She led Su Ming and the others into the arena.
The vast arena was still empty.
Mia snapped her fingers, and mechanical platforms rose, revealing twenty different models of First Generation Mecha in front of everyone.
However, Mia did not immediately let everyone board. Instead, she raised her wristband and operated it.
Buzz buzz ~
Suddenly, everyone’s phones vibrated.
Rhine and the others picked up their phones and saw that they had all received video messages from Teacher Mia.
These videos were tailored by Mia for different mecha models, but Su Ming was the only one who didn’t receive a video.
Although Su Ming was a little confused, he didn’t ask Mia about it.
At this moment, Mia spoke to everyone.
“Each of you choose the training mecha you are good at, and train in turns according to the videos I sent you. Be serious; if anyone doesn’t train well, you’ll see how I deal with you later!”
“Understood!”
Rhine and the others excitedly walked towards the mecha.
Su Ming glanced around and was about to walk towards the nearby Iron Steed when Mia suddenly called out to him.
“Su Ming!”
“Teacher, what’s wrong?”
“Don’t bother with those. First Generation Mecha are not good for you to train with. Come with me!”
Mia briefly explained to Su Ming, then led him to the other side of the arena.
“Okay.”
Su Ming didn’t ask further and silently followed Mia away.
Rhine and the others, seeing Su Ming being led away, discussed in low voices.
“The class monitor was called away by the teacher?”
“What are they going to do?”
“Not sure. Let’s just train. We’ll ask the class monitor later.”
On the other side, Mia led Su Ming to the other side of the arena, where there was an inconspicuous lounge.
She led Su Ming into the lounge and found an inconspicuous staircase going down.
Su Ming followed beside Mia, his curiosity growing. Where was she taking him?
At this moment, Mia chatted with Su Ming, smiling.
“Su Ming, I see your spear skills are quite good. Which family are you from?”
Su Ming was slightly startled, then replied truthfully.
“Teacher, I am from the Su Family, which is the Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industries Group.”
Mia was slightly surprised to hear Su Ming’s words and thought carefully.
She had heard of the Su Family; it was a decent family, and the current patriarch, Su Zhentian, was quite famous.
But she had never heard of anyone in the Su Family being skilled in spear techniques, let alone using them so well.
Throughout the entire Federation, there were only a few families good at spear techniques, and she knew each of them very well. The Su Family was definitely not among them.
Most importantly, Su Ming’s spear skills felt very familiar to her, as if she had seen them somewhere before. But she couldn’t recall it for a moment, so Mia chuckled and continued to ask.
“Su Ming, who is your master then? Who taught you your spear skills?”
“I taught myself.”
Su Ming didn’t expect Mia to ask him this and hesitated before replying.
“Forget it, if you don’t want to say, I won’t ask.”
Mia didn’t believe Su Ming had taught himself at all. Those spear skills were incredible; even she almost stumbled.
Su Ming also gave a bitter smile, but he didn’t argue because he didn’t know how to explain.
Soon, Mia led Su Ming down the stairs to a basement.
This basement was empty, with nothing but a closed metal door.
“Let’s go!”
Mia stepped forward, pushed open the metal door, and walked in.
Su Ming followed Mia inside. The interior of the door was pitch black, making it impossible to see one’s hand.
At this moment, Mia snapped her fingers.
One by one, the induction lights lit up, and a gigantic underground arena came into Su Ming’s view.
This underground arena looked even more advanced than the one above, with the ground entirely made up of mechanical square bricks.
“This is?”
Su Ming asked in surprise.
“The Royal Court Academy’s underground arena, specially provided for death matches.”
“Death matches? Is that allowed?”
“It’s unavoidable. There are always irreconcilable conflicts, but they can’t be ignored.”
Mia said with a sigh.
“Indeed.”
Su Ming nodded.
“Alright, let’s not talk about these. From today onwards, you will train here.”
Mia adjusted her emotions and spoke to Su Ming very seriously.
“Okay, then what mecha should I use?”
Su Ming looked around but didn’t see any mecha.
Mia smiled and snapped her fingers.
Click ~
The center of the underground arena split open, and a mechanical platform rose.
On the mechanical platform was a mecha, seventeen meters tall, covered in cyan metal armor, with a beam cannon embedded in its shoulder, a pair of flexible mechanical jet wings embedded in its back, and holding two ten-meter-long beam sabers.
“Third Generation Mecha · Cyan Wing!”
Su Ming spoke in astonishment.
“That’s right, you’ll use this one for training!”
“Teacher, is this appropriate? This is a Third Generation Mecha, after all?”
“What’s inappropriate about it? Consider it a perk of being class monitor. But later, when you become stronger, you need to take good care of your classmates.”
Mia didn’t hide anything and spoke to Su Ming simply and clearly.
“Okay!”
Su Ming responded solemnly.
“By the way, have you operated a Third Generation Mecha before?”
Mia looked at Su Ming and asked.
“Only during the City Exam, in the virtual world.”
Su Ming answered truthfully.
“No matter how realistic a virtual pod is made, there’s still a difference from reality. Go up and get familiar with the mecha first.”
Mia said to Su Ming.
“But Teacher, I’m not very good with saber-type weapons. Can I switch to a long spear?”
Su Ming thought for a moment and asked.
“Your spear skills are very good; I can’t teach you in that aspect. Also, I don’t recommend you change weapons for training.”
“Why?”
“Indeed, everyone has a weapon they are good at using. But if you want to become a top-tier master, you absolutely cannot only use one type of weapon. Even if you can’t master all of them, you should know how to use them. This is very important because if you go to the battlefield in the future, there are too many uncertain factors on the battlefield. The enemy won’t care what weapon you use! Moreover, familiarity with all weapons is also very beneficial to you. It can not only make your foundation more solid but also, when facing an enemy in the future, no matter what weapon they use, you will be able to understand its advantages and disadvantages, and thus respond better.”
Mia educated Su Ming very seriously.
Of course, Mia said this verbally, but she thought to herself.
“I can’t tell him there are no Third Generation Mecha here that use spears, can I?”
“Teacher, you are right.”
Su Ming replied very seriously.
“In short, remember one thing: there is no easy success in this world. Therefore, don’t always focus on the results of others’ success; you will never succeed that way. What you really need to focus on is the effort others put in and the details of their success. Details are the key to all success and failure.”
“Understood, Teacher.”
Su Ming replied in strong agreement.
