The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 431 Sudden
As a novice mecha pilot with one foot in the door, Jiang Hui did quite well in this respect.

It didn't even need to activate the mech's built-in auxiliary adjustment system; it manually adjusted the appropriate parameters and angles on its own.

She skillfully maneuvered the mecha to stand up, then carefully made small movements in the vicinity to make sure there were no problems with the mecha before stopping.

Jiang Hui was about to look ahead, trying to find Stark's location as usual, when a gust of wind suddenly rose from his rear.

"Boom boom boom... Crack crack crack?"

"Beep beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep—"

A sharp alarm sounded in the arena, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

They were somewhat confused. Weren't they in class right now? How... was this an enemy attack? Or an accident?

This was the first reaction of most people. They still had a sense of safety in their minds, subconsciously believing that since they were having class here under the guidance of three teachers, they wouldn't encounter any danger.

Little did they know that there was indeed some danger involved, but they clearly failed the test.

Indeed, no one dares to tamper with these students in the school's training grounds during the day, but that doesn't mean they will stay in this ivory tower forever. Sooner or later, they will step into the real battlefield and face the harsher winds and sand.

At that time, not to mention those places that seem safe, even heavily guarded base camps will have certain risks. Danger will be a constant companion, and what they need to do is to be vigilant at all times and deal with crises.

The battlefield is never a place where things play by the rules. If you don't use your brain flexibly, don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and instead indulge in comfort, then what awaits you is death, and a very ugly one at that.

This was something that Zou Yi, Stark, and Lynch had all experienced firsthand. Regardless of their personalities or how they didn't get along, they were all ultimately warriors determined to protect the empire.

They not only took on the task of teaching these children and watching them gradually embark on that path, but also hoped that when they actually chose the same path, they could avoid some detours, pay less price, and survive longer.

So let them teach this lesson, let them use reality to show them not to trust anyone too much before you give them your complete trust.

Then the students in the room were in trouble; they were attacked by their own homeroom teacher without any warning.

Three guys, whose combined age was estimated to be close to four hundred, drove their long-unused Class D standard armor and blended into a group of students, then swept them away one by one with lightning speed and ruthlessness.

The attack that Jiang Hui cleverly dodged just now was the first wave of attacks from one of the class teachers.

After dodging, she quickly realized that something unpredictable had happened on the field, and this was only the beginning. If nothing unexpected happened, the melee would spread outwards from the center, with the mid-line likely being the most dangerous area.

The nearby mechs were so densely packed, a pincer movement of "you trip me, I trip you," plus unknown attacks from the outside... she wouldn't even need to fight back much before being inexplicably crushed, without even having to struggle. And Jiang Hui's prediction was spot on. Among the three classes, there were many with keen senses who, upon noticing the sudden changes in their surroundings, either jumped out of the danger zone the instant they realized it, or observed from a safe distance.

But not all people are like that. A large portion of those who are less perceptive or lack experience in dealing with such situations are completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events. They are basically unable to react, or even if they do react, they are unable to take action.

Those who didn't react in time became obstacles, while those who reacted late were even more flustered and made things worse. With these two groups mixed together, the chances of making mistakes increased exponentially, and within a minute, they were falling like dominoes. Even the class advisors didn't have to exert much effort; large sections of the group collapsed on their own along the center line, creating a rather comical scene.

So, Jiang Hui did have some foresight. Sometimes, it's not the fight alone that's scary, but the teammate who drags you down. That's exactly the situation right now.

The three homeroom teachers were naturally very dissatisfied with the group of stupid guys in the middle, and felt that their presence was hindering their performance. So, they tacitly dispersed to sweep them away from the inside out.

"Crack...bang!" A colossal object landed precisely where she had just been standing, not just grazing her feet, but a mech that had been lifted by its legs and thrown towards her.

You don't even need to look to know how much pain the person inside is in. The reverse impact of this mental force would probably make them faint several times before they wake up.

Sweating profusely, Jiang Hui released a one-way lever, not daring to move it even slightly, before slowly letting go. The mech was currently tilted backward, maintaining a rather difficult posture; she could even seem to hear a faint grinding sound at the joints connecting the mech's waist. Maintaining this position for an extended period would definitely not work, as it would easily cause wear and tear or even temporary malfunction.

She quickly adjusted her mecha to stand upright, bypassed the unknown classmate who had just fallen vertically in front of her, and retreated a few lines.

A mech that could clearly see her movements from a distance paused as if it wanted to chase after her, but ultimately did not catch up. It continued to sweep across that area in that direction, and its speed was getting faster and faster.

Under the combined barrage of fire from the three, the attack had barely begun at five stars, yet more than two-thirds of the mechs on the field had already fallen.

Except for a few who managed to get up, the vast majority were either semi-conscious due to the reverse impact of mental energy, or their machines were out of control and temporarily unable to reconnect and operate, unable to recover.

Unlike the others, Hillman has been doing quite well. His stealth skills are truly exceptional, and he possesses an unusually strong ability to pinpoint locations by sound, almost instinctively.

Therefore, he was not too surprised or at a loss when faced with this sudden melee and attack. He relied on his mental strength and intuitive senses to dodge attacks from all directions and avoid the attack range of the three.

Nearly three-quarters of the players on the field had collapsed, but he remained standing, seemingly in complete control.

But as the saying goes, sometimes standing out too much is a sin. Perhaps he was too perceptive or his movements were too flamboyant, but somehow he caught the eye of an unknown homeroom teacher wearing a D-class mecha suit, and then, seizing the opportunity, was kicked to the ground in a miserable manner.

Of course, it wasn't long before his good friend was also targeted.

Jiang Hui has been identified.
