Chapter 1022: To Battle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At Elite Academy X, battle was just one aspect. There were also many other aspects and study directions, like science and governance, although they were not as flashy as battling.

Ai Ruifen was a science specialist. Her Ability X was photographic memory. She was able to memorize huge loads of information in an instant, as well as complete the categorization and basic analysis. In terms of scientific use, this was an extremely powerful Ability X.

Ai Ruifen’s hobby was quite unique, which was studying civilizations.

The mysterious and elegant Atlantean civilization, the low profile and luxurious Mayan civilization, Ghana Star’s multi-tribal fusion...

Ai Ruifen had started a civilization research association at Elite Academy X, and had found quite a few comrades with like minds.

But problems emerged as the association grew. It was quite pleasurable when a few people sat together to chat and research one civilization. But once the numbers grew, it was hard to get a word in, and things got messy. There had to be structure, some procedural research.

But at Elite Academy X, there was no good research partner. This was the humans’ Elite Academy X!

The association only liked to talk war theory on paper.

Until the Atlanteans and Mayans had joined Elite Academy X.

Ai Ruifen had been filled with joy!

But her pleasure turned to disappointment very quickly. They would not even entertain her.

She had tried to stop them on their way twice, but met with their wrath and was immediately knocked out. When she came to, they had already left. She could not even start a conversation. Atlanteans apparently hated this kind of research, and would show her no courtesy.

The Mayans went without saying. The moment a member raised the idea in a meeting, the Mayans would raise an uproar. In truth, who was willing to be studied? Even if the intentions were good.

Ai Ruifen did not like giving up. Perseverance was her strong point. The vice chairman, Wei Ying, was always trying to talk her out of it, and she was always pressing the issue. In the end, the Atlanteans would put up with her no more. The moment they sensed her presence, they would immediately vanish. If they could not fight, they would hide.

However, Ai Ruifen still gleaned some things. The process of hitting a wall was also research. She could discover some new details. In truth, the Milky Way Alliance had long done related research, with formal experts and on a much wider scale. If she wanted to make new inroads, she had best find a different path. She had gritted her teeth to finally write a thesis on “The Shyness of the Atlantean Civilization”, which left Di Maria speechless. In the end, Aslan had intervened to settle the matter.

Just as Ai Ruifen was considering her next step, Wang Zheng had brought Mu Zhen back!

Tita person! So huge!

Ai Ruifen’s attention shifted. At least Di Maria and the Mayans had breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was a human world. They had received some orders from their own countries before they came as well, and they had no wish to get into trouble with these sorts.

Ai Ruifen had also learnt her lessons from the Altanteans. She could not be too direct. Nobody liked to be stared at as research.

She had not really liked the Greatest King Competition from the start...

At the start, she had no real interest. But because of Mu Zhen, she had grudgingly supported the Saruman Snake battle team. Once the factions had emerged, watching the competition was no longer as simple as mecha bashing each other. She had been hooked as the situation developed, at times moved, at times worried, and at times happy.

The impulsivity of youth was infectious.

Wang Zheng had brought victory time and again, and Ai Ruifen regarded him as an idol. That sort of feeling was difficult to put into words.

Like Lin Huiyin!

Before she had attended her live concert, she just felt that her songs were not bad. They were nice to listen to, and meaningful.

But after attending one live concert, under the dim lights, her view was colored by the beauty, and she again heard the angelic soul of Lin Huiyin.

As though life had changed.

This made Ai Ruifen want to study Mu Zhen all the more. Her interest and worship merged as one. The feeling was great.

“I have classes in the afternoon. Go around by yourself. Be brave.” Wang Zheng still encouraged Mu Zhen.

Mu Zhen hung his head and sighed. Perhaps he really should get to know other friends.

Mu Sen, and the council of elders, were always worried about this whenever they spoke to him.

Mu Sen had worn out his ear every time. “Oh, Mu Zhen, in the human world, you must follow the human way. The caveat being not causing Ada any trouble, you have to get along with humans...”

Getting along. It was not something you could teach, and what Mu Zhen wanted to learn was independence.

Mu Zhen scratched his head, looking at the disappearing figure of Wang Zheng in the distance. He was a little at a loss. He had no class today, so he could not try making new friends in class. Sigh, that big-sized guy who sat beside him in class looked like someone he would have a lot in common with – in some dormitory of the school a two meter plus macho guy suddenly got the chills...

Just as he was considering who would be better to approach, Mu Zhen was startled by Ai Ruifen, who had appeared in front of him.

A beautiful, little girl.

“Hello.” Ai Ruifen took the initiative to say hi. The picture of a big guy brooding under a tree had moved her. The original plan had been to observe from a safe distance for a time.

“Hello. You are?” Mu Zhen blinked.

“I’m called Ai Ruifen. Er, a supporter of the Saruman Snake battle team. Can you give me an autograph?”

“Me? Autograph?” Mu Zhen sheepishly pointed at his own nose. He again looked at the little girl. She wore a pair of thick square spectacles that framed her sharp features. Her pink lips smiled convincingly.

“Mm. I want to be friends with you. Is that alright?”

Mu Zhen was stunned, but happy. “Sure.”

Just like when you were sleepy, and someone delivered a pillow. And this “little girl” had an aura a little like a Tita person.

Seeing Mu Zhen’s smile, Ai Ruifen suddenly felt a little sheepish, because she could sense his sincerity and how much the word “friend” meant to him. And her own motives were not simple.

“Actually, I really want to research the Titatitan people and understand you. Could you help me?”

Research? Mu Zhen was a little confused.

“I just want to be friends.”

“I’m serious too, I’m not here with bad intentions. I like the Saruman Snake battle team, and I’m curious about the Tita people.” Ai Ruifen was already prepared for rejection. “As you’re the pioneer of the Tita people, you should be brave enough and let other humans understand you, and understand Tita Star. We’re one big family. Only when more people understand you can we build a peaceful alliance.”

Ai Ruifen said sincerely. She had heard of Tita Star’s situation as well, and was apprehensive that Tita people might not bear too much goodwill to humans.

Mu Zhen frowned. Sounded logical. “Slice up?”

“What slice up?” Ai Ruifen was shocked. “Do you like sliced bread...”

Seeing Mu Zhen’s troubled face, Ai Ruifen could not resist laughing. This was a classic case of watched-too-many-movies.

When Ai Ruifen explained that all she wanted to do was talk and better understand Tita people’s habits and customs, as well as Tita Star’s wonderful aboriginal culture, Mu Zhen laughed sheepishly.

From far, Wang Zheng looked at the two and shook his head, smiling. This was a good start.

Just as Wang Zheng had predicted, the school came looking for him. More accurately, looking for them.

Elite Academy X was a specialized school that represented humanity’s direction. This college did not exactly need idols and models. On the contrary, the school calmly and fairly handled such matters, from individual to national level.

This Greatest King Competition had already achieved all its aims. But now the drawbacks had to be taken care off. The students could immerse themselves in the joy of battle for a while, but learning and training were serious things. After some time of celebration, the students had to calm themselves.

Besides, it was not suitable for those like Wang Zheng to remain at the school too long. This was nothing personal, but a custom that had begun before Marzu and Hocatolin.

Those in the meeting room were all familiar faces.

When Wang Zheng arrived, Marzu and Olivios were already there, as well as the long absent Lear. The moment he saw Wang Zheng, Lear actually smiled.

Pampas and Dendi had arrived as well. Not long before the six arrived, Professor Jiang Feng appeared.

Marzu, Pampas, and Dendi already knew what they were waiting for. For Wang Zheng, Lear, and Olivios, it was their first time.

“I think you might have guessed. Firstly, congratulations. Your performance at the Greatest King Competition has been recognized by the school. In order to elevate your abilities more holistically, you will begin to undertake special missions for Elite Academy X. Marzu, Dendi, and Pampas are already old hands. You can formally graduate after finishing this mission. Wang Zheng, Olivios and Lear, you three are doing this for the first time. There are some things I need to caution you about.”
