The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 209 Reckless
'That was too reckless.' A hint of helplessness unconsciously appeared on Stark's usually solemn face.

Laughter rippled from one corner of the instructors' table.

"How did she come up with such an idea? She clearly didn't even understand the situation, and those two idiots actually listened to her." Captain Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You're too clever for your own good." Zou Yi snorted, but surprisingly refrained from saying anything else unpleasant.

After all, the students' every move was under their watchful eyes, and their performance in the competition naturally fell into their notice as well.

While it's natural for everyone to pay more attention to their own students, Jiang Hui, as the current leader in the competition, is undoubtedly the focus of attention for many teachers and mentors. Everyone has witnessed her performance along with Huan Xian and Zhou Xiuwen.

Jiang Hui's performance was far from perfect, and could even be described as having many flaws, but for a teenager who had never received formal training, it far exceeded their expectations.

Shooting, rough design layout, responsiveness, decision-making, and even team cohesion are all quite good. Although none of them can be said to be top-level, they are extremely rare and outstanding for a freshman who has not been formally trained or enrolled.

What's even more remarkable is that she also possesses sufficient resilience and determination. These are the qualities that the instructors saw in her that are more precious and difficult to cultivate later in life.

In addition to outstanding combat ability, a soldier should also have enough resilience—enough to support him through long years of hardship, and enough to keep him moving forward even when he is covered in blood and wounds.

This young woman seemed to possess these qualities by nature—silent and resilient—yet her actions were more powerful than any clamor. Even when she herself was in dire straits, she refused to abandon her teammates who had become a burden.

Even the nitpicky Zou Yi couldn't say anything about such a performance. After all, he was once a soldier who had fought on the battlefield, and even if the battles he had experienced were not as numerous as those of the monster Stark, he was still a soldier.

He could be sarcastic and competitive with the decorated Stark in his spare time, but he never belittled Stark's contributions to the Empire as a soldier. Despite their incompatible personalities, he always held the highest respect for his fellow soldiers of the Empire.

But Zou Yi was also proud and arrogant, so he was never willing to bow his head.

His distorted emotions and mentality were also reflected in his views on Jiang Hui.

Seeing that the opponent was far ahead of his prized student with the compensation points, Zou Yi was naturally angry at first and assumed that Jiang Hui had taken the honor of first place by trickery.

When he truly calmed down and looked through the other person's previous performance records, seeing the other person's performance all the way, Zou Yi had to admit to himself that the child had unquestionable talent.

Even his favored protégé falls short; at least his students can't be as well-rounded. So, even with the compensation points, the other person's top spot is barely deserved.

After silently and awkwardly acknowledging this, Zou Yi felt increasingly resentful as he looked at Jiang Hui. Why wasn't such a student in his class instead of Stark? This was clearly an incompletely awakened individual with A-level mental strength; why wasn't such a high-potential awakener assigned to the best class? Zou Yi couldn't believe Stark hadn't intervened. Thinking about what Jiang Hui had said to the Karl father and son in the principal's office, Zou Yi felt even more conflicted. He felt as if something rightfully his had been stolen, while simultaneously feeling that his own classmates were disappointing, unable to stand out, their glory stolen by others—it was truly infuriating.

So when he saw that Jiang Hui's misjudgment had led Huan Xian and Zhou Xiuwen into an unknown and dangerous situation, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction, finally catching the boy's mistake.

So this is another reckless little guy. It seems he overestimated him.

The supply depot was crisscrossed with tracks, arranged treacherously according to the terrain. The three of them not only risked sitting on the crates but also secured themselves to them. Were they really going to slide down the slope, plunge at a right angle, or even hang upside down? That was too dangerous!

If they weren't secured and fell, wouldn't the whole team be wiped out? They wouldn't even need to fight anyone; they'd be eliminated just like that.

This was also why the instructors found it somewhat amusing. Throughout the journey, they had watched Jiang Hui walk calmly, seemingly unmoved by any disturbance or panic. After a while, they grew rather bored and kept wondering when he would make a mistake.

"However, this idea is quite ingenious, and it might actually be of some use." Lieutenant Zapp looked at the three people who had begun to spin rapidly up and down with the box, and seemed quite interested.

"Isn't this a bit too unsafe? They're being too impulsive. We don't even know how effective this simulated bra is; it's really dangerous." Instructor Tan was genuinely worried. He had spent almost his entire life in the laboratory, had never actually served in the military, and couldn't possibly understand the mindset of real soldiers.

Watching the children rise up the rocky mountain, which was several dozen feet high, and then uncontrollably descend the slope, Teacher Tan's heart was also on the edge of his seat with the children's rise and fall.

Did Professor Denise not anticipate that some daring and mischievous child might operate this when he designed it? It's far too dangerous.

They had no other protective gear, so if they fell, they would have to rely entirely on the simulation bras for protection. However, those simulation bras were only modified standard Class B protective gear, not even reaching the lowest level of military standard. What if something went wrong?
Teacher Tan looked at Stark, intending to get the approval of the class teacher involved, but unexpectedly Stark completely ignored the good-natured laughter and discussion of the crowd, and only focused on watching the three disheveled people on the screen, seemingly lost in thought.

"That guy must have thought of that. What a twisted sense of humor. He didn't even warn his teammates. Don't forget he was going to sit on it too. Isn't that knowingly committing a crime?" Min Hao was furious as he watched the three of them sit on the box without any awareness and even cleverly add a layer of protection for themselves.

Unlike the others, he had spoken with Huan Xian a few times before and had a vague understanding of the man's personality. Besides his terrifying, inhuman abilities, this man also had some wicked sense of humor.

This person must have done it on purpose.
