The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 463 Jiang Hui VS Huan Xian (Part 1)

The butler was indeed a capable manager; he was probably responsible for adjusting the training area when Frank used it before. Then, the staff quickly set up the area.

Moreover, because a professional team comes to maintain the site from time to time, the site is in excellent condition and can be used with just a few minor adjustments.

The problem is, now that the venue is ready, how are they going to use it?
If it's a simulated training ground, then there's no suspense; they just need to lie down in the simulation room and they can play as much as they want in the simulated environment.

However, now that it has been changed to a mecha training ground, it is no longer a simulation, so there must be opponents.

Space does indeed have fully automated battle suits. While they can't match the precision of human-piloted mechs, if properly tuned, they're sufficient for most combat situations. They're more than enough to fight against inexperienced beginners.

Unfortunately, the Hillman family didn't have this equipment, and they couldn't very well buy one just for the children's entertainment.

Therefore, they have to assign their own opponents.

Three out of the four are students majoring in individual combat, and they all take the same joint course with the same learning pace, so it's easy to assign them roles.

They had sparred briefly before, so it would be easy to pick out an opponent from among the three of them.

But before any of that could be arranged, Hillman immediately said he didn't want to fight Jiang Hui and Clarence, saying he didn't want to get beaten up and planned to just watch from the sidelines.

This left Jiang Hui, who wanted to suggest drawing lots, with his suggestion stuck in his throat.

She and Clarence exchanged a helpless glance, just about to decide to have a practice match, since they'd fought before anyway...

However, they had never tried such a serious two-on-one match. In the past, they had only played a few rounds in class according to Stark's instructions, but they had never really played freely and had only exchanged basic information.

Thinking about this, both of them were eager to try.

After all, friends are friends, but when it comes to comparing abilities, it all comes down to individual skills.

"This is a bit unfair... You've excluded me entirely." The slender boy reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Hui's left shoulder.

The blond boy opposite him pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but Jiang Hui knew that he was probably unhappy.

The person next to him seemed unconcerned, his hand resting lightly on her left shoulder, displaying a friendly politeness that was both polite and intimate. His gaze towards Clarence held a hint of scrutiny.

These two have never really gotten along. Well, you can't really say that; they're just relatively distant from each other. It's probably because their personalities clash—one's a proud young master, the other mature and low-key…it's hard for them to get along.

However, they also have mutual good friends, and after going through a hardship together, they have developed a tacit understanding. They are generally considered to be friends with a decent relationship.

But this shallow friendship couldn't stop their damn competitive spirit.

Clarence had grown accustomed to practicing against Jiang Hui. The arrogant young master gradually returned to reality, began to lower his ego, and worked hard to improve himself, no longer solely focused on winning. Jiang Hui was his friend, his partner, and, more importantly, the role model he held dear in his heart.

Huan Xian had always maintained an observer's stance, and even when he did participate in the conversation, it was very limited. The other party seemed to always maintain a distance that was neither too close nor too far, as if silently listening, or perhaps cautiously observing.

If there's one thing about him that he's not so careful about distance, it's probably Jiang Hui.

Normally, the other party wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, but his thoughts seemed a little different today; he also wanted to fight Jiang Hui.

Clarence felt his plans had been disrupted and was naturally unhappy. This single remark created a tense atmosphere.

Seeing that things weren't going well, Hillman quickly changed the subject, saying, "Why don't the three of you draw lots together, choose a round first, and then take turns playing against each other in order? Anyway, Father doesn't know when things will end, so we can play a few more rounds before going back."

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

Clarence remained silent, while Huan Xian, riding with Jiang Hui, continued to watch the person opposite him with a relaxed demeanor. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly reached a fever pitch.

"Alright, Al, stop being lazy. The semester's comprehensive assessment is coming up soon. If you don't practice properly, this grade will be ruined. Don't think I don't know you're always slacking off in practical training." Jiang Hui sighed.

“There are still two or three rounds to go… Uncle Aaron might be waiting for us over there, and it’s not good to keep our elders waiting. The four of us can play one round, so let’s draw lots.” Jiang Hui seemed oblivious to the tension between his two friends and made the decision on the spot.

Hillman immediately looked a little dejected, but he didn't refuse to say anything more and went to get the lottery tools.

Perhaps it was Jiang Hui's interruption that made Clarence, though still silent, relax his tense shoulders slightly. He glanced in their direction, then followed Hillman.

Huan Xian, standing to the side, remained perfectly calm, his breathing unchanged and his emotions remarkably stable.

Do you think he might ask Hillman for help?

Jiang Hui: "...No. And I doubt Hillman will help either; he got a severe beating from Clarence last time." Just recently, it caused Hillman to tremble at the sight of Clarence for the next week.

So even if Clarence were to swallow her pride and ask him to tamper with things, that guy definitely wouldn't agree. And even if he were capable of doing so, she'd probably switch places with him and fight him herself...

Besides, if Clarence could do something like that, he wouldn't have been thwarted by Theopheles Clarence.

"Why are you teasing him like this?" Jiang Hui shook her head and said.

"How do you know I'm teasing him?" Huan Xian glanced at her sideways. "I'm telling the truth. Why skip my arrangements?"

The girl's eyes widened slightly: "You really want to fight me?" She seemed to have heard something surprising.

"why not?"

"I thought... Oh well, let's draw lots later and see if we'll run into each other today." Jiang Hui was both amused and exasperated as she greeted the two returning.

Although the equipment is slightly more advanced, the principle of drawing lots is the same in any world, and the result is obtained in the blink of an eye.

As expected, everything happens for a reason, and the opportunity arose from what Huan Xian had just mentioned.

Hillman vs. Clarence.

Then comes... Jiang Hui vs. Huan Xian.

This was the first time Jiang Hui had truly faced off against Huan Xian.
