The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 421 S-Rank (Part 1)
Carlo's teacher believed that although the relationship between teacher and student was one of inheritance, the student should surpass the teacher.

He despised the so-called "religious cultists keeping a secret" that was popular in the capital, because he felt that this would lead to the stagnation of the mecha industry and its decline generation after generation.

When he taught his students, he often encouraged them to try different things and to question things, and not to blindly believe in authority. This has led to Carlo having the same idea today.

He had asked this question countless times at the schools where he taught over the past decade, and many students had answered, but very few actually chose to break through the prerequisites. Only two stood out: one was a student he had met when he first returned to teach in the permanent star system, and now, more than a decade later, that student was a well-known mecha pilot in the capital; the other was Jiang Hui, standing before him.

He had also signed the authorization to the other party back then, but the two lost contact for more than ten years due to various reasons. Carlo didn't know what the other party's current situation was or whether the project was actually underway.

Now, more than a decade later, Carlo has met Jiang Hui again and made the same choice as before. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be this time.

"I...for some reasons, I probably won't be able to continue with this product line. But personally, I feel that the Blazing Fire series hasn't been developed to my satisfaction yet, and I don't have the inclination to teach students, so—"

So they granted me this authorization… Jiang Hui was a little speechless. What about all those people in the interstellar space who are lining up to see when you'll open up the authorization?

What if word gets out and people find out that the person who received this authorization is an unknown student, someone who can't even be called a mecha pilot...? Would she get ganged up on? Jiang Hui thought to herself, somewhat aimlessly.

"What are you thinking? It's just an authorization, nothing special. You can access some data from the past registrations of the Blazing Fire lineage and historical improvement models through the system. But it's not like I can just give you an authorization and expect you to do anything. If you want to develop and modify an independent mech based on this, you'll have a long way to go, and you'll have to do it all yourself," Carlo said earnestly to Jiang.

"I know what you're thinking, you probably think I was too casual in choosing people..." He wasn't casual, it was because he heard Jiang Hui's "answer sheet." He believed that Jiang Hui was a truly visionary, courageous, and daring potential mecha pilot who would do such a thing.

Didn't he give others a chance? Over the past decade, he has asked countless people this question, and everyone has given different answers. Many of them surprised him, but few seemed truly feasible.

Although Jiang Hui's "answer sheet" was still quite rough from the perspective of a professional mecha pilot, and even seemed somewhat disjointed, it also revealed that she was quite outstanding, very thoughtful, and had an extraordinary understanding of mecha construction. She was even more daring in her thinking and had a more far-reaching approach than others.

That's enough.

Following the other person's somewhat rough train of thought, Carlo seemed to vaguely see the prototype of the Blazing Fire series heading towards a more distant future, so he thought he could hope for another chance. In any case, this license was just sitting there, and he himself could no longer develop this series of products.

……

"It was my oversight; I should have let you consider it yourself. If you ultimately think it's okay, then log in to the Imperial Mech Association, find the relevant module, and register. I've already opened the authorization channel."

You're making me feel like I'm ungrateful...

Jiang Hui didn't know what to say, but she really should go back and sort out her thoughts or ask a professional.

But she was still grateful from the bottom of her heart for the other party's respect and trust. Before leaving, she bowed deeply to Carlo and said goodbye.

Jiang Hui left the auditorium somewhat absentmindedly, and it took her quite a while to come to her senses. She subconsciously turned her head to look back in the direction of the auditorium, and just then she saw the other person's departing figure. She stood there watching the other person's back until a communication call came in through her personal terminal.

“Yes, that’s right… The class is over. Where are you… I’ll be right there… Okay, okay, I don’t have any classes this afternoon…” Jiang Hui said to the other end of the computer.

After shutting down the communication, she slowly left the spot.

"You're here?" Stark frowned immediately as he watched her approach. "What's going on with you?"

Jiang Hui knew the other person would ask that question, because everyone who saw her today had reacted the same way. Well, she knew she really had lost a lot of weight.

Stark was the most alarmed. He had only seen Jiang Hui yesterday, and he was the one who called her to the medical office for a check-up today. He hadn't expected her to lose seven or eight pounds in just one night; her skin was practically sticking to her bones. This made him even more worried, as he already suspected something was wrong with Jiang Hui.

"Why didn't you come to see me this morning?" Jiang Hui knew the unspoken message was—why would you go to class when you're in this state?

"Professor Carlo specially reserved this spot for me," Jiang Hui said. She couldn't refuse.

“Sheda Caro?” Stark raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

Stark was the homeroom teacher of Class Two, and he had participated in the allocation of places this time. He had considered the allocation process and was naturally aware of the situation. However, he didn't know that Jiang Hui's place had been allocated in this way.

He rarely cracked a joke: "I heard from Lieutenant Colonel Hank that during the period when the class slots were open for registration, there was a 'scattered team' that bypassed the school's security netting. Then, like a little mouse, they 'snap' away at grabbing a slot and then 'snap' away at grabbing another slot, getting stuck about four or five times... I thought your slot came from there."

Jiang Hui understood immediately. The little mouse couldn't be referring to Huan Xian stealing their class that day, could it? So the school administration saw it all… Oh my god, are they going to be punished for violating school rules?
"Your friend is incredibly capable; even the school's security measures couldn't stop him. He could only watch as the spots were taken away one by one. Fortunately, he didn't take too many, otherwise the principal would have come looking for you before you even left the study room."

"So...the spots were all allocated among the teachers?"

"What else did you think?" Stark glanced at Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui: ...It's all a trick. What's the point of this if you don't even let everyone compete? Why not just say it's allocated according to need?
"What are you afraid of? Those people aren't as good as you. They were even selected for you by the main lecturer." Stark dragged the person onto the convenient express bus that went directly to the medical office.

You're probably not surprised enough yet. What if I told you later that the other party also wanted to sign off on the authorization? Wouldn't that seem even more outrageous...?
