The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 464 Jiang Hui VS Huan Xian (Part 2)

"Sigh, how come they're the ones facing off now?" Hillman sighed as he looked at the two of them standing side by side, their atmosphere quite relaxed.

The first round was between Jiang Hui and Huan Xian, but they both went to the other side to prepare, leaving only Hillman and Clarence on this side.

But Hillman simply couldn't understand this turn of events. As for Clarence, he was already in class with him and knew he was a battle maniac comparable to Holly; he usually practiced with Jiang Hui in class.

The two were restrained yet in sync, knowing when to stop and giving each other pointers. Stark often called on them to demonstrate.

It wasn't surprising that the other party wanted to fight Jiang Hui; in fact, it was a routine Hillman was used to. Often, after the two of them had practiced to their limits, they would remind him to give her a little push.

But it would be strange if this person were Huan Xian.

The other person was considered to have a rather unique personality among their group. Although they had gone through thick and thin together and had developed a bond, they hadn't known each other for very long, so there was still some awkwardness between them.

Besides Jiang Hui, who connects everyone, the others also have different relationships. Hillman feels very relaxed and at ease in front of Jiang Hui and Zhou Xiuwen. The former is a trusted and admired friend, while the latter is a "frenemy" with whom he gets along very well and can talk to each other.

His relationship with the other two wasn't exactly bad, because he was younger, and they were all more lenient with him. Hillman was "close" to them, but more than that, he held them in "respect." Hillman considered Clarence a respectable friend, and Huan Xian a formidable and awe-inspiring figure.

They're all friends, so he naturally doesn't distinguish between them. But because their definitions are different, their ways of interacting are also different. Anyway, compared to talking about everything with Jiang Hui and the others, he's subconsciously a little afraid of Huan Xian, like facing a parent from his father's generation.

However, Huan Xian, who gave off a deep and unassuming impression, had a very special relationship with Jiang Hui.

Jiang is actually quite aloof. Unless someone takes the initiative to befriend her, she doesn't like to actively make friends with others. And most of the people she's with have become partners because of certain things.

However, Jiang Hui's coldness is actually quite tolerant. Once you break through her defenses and enter the circle, she will treat everyone who comes with genuine sincerity.

Hillman genuinely believed that the other party was reliable and trustworthy.

Huan Xian, however, was different—when the other man wasn't wearing a mask, he seemed cold from the inside out. Hillman found it difficult to sense any warmth from this friend, and even had the illusion that he could be easily read and perceived by him.

Hillman instinctively felt some apprehension about this, but he was also willing to trust him. Since he had chosen to befriend him, he shouldn't distance himself based on vague, subjective feelings. That would be unfair to Huan Xian.

It seems that the other party is willing to trust her because of Jiang Hui's tolerance and respect.

Yes, Huan Xian trusted Jiang Hui. Hillman had noticed long ago that when Huan Xian was silently observing, his gaze would unconsciously focus on Jiang Hui, as if he were seeking knowledge or scrutinizing her?
He had an almost indulgent attitude towards Jiang Hui, and he was the first in the team to express his support for most of her actions.

Moreover, these two people often have an extraordinary understanding of each other, and their thinking and ways of doing things are quite similar.

So before this, Hillman never imagined that the two would be facing off against each other—even if it was just a practice match.

"Why would Huan want to fight Jiang Hui?" Hillman felt stuck, his little head a bit confused about the situation.

“I think… you should worry about yourself more.” Clarence crossed his arms and glanced sideways at the person next to him who was completely lost in thought.

"Let's go choose our mechs." Clarence took the lead, leaving only his back to the other man. Hillman: Don't you know my strength? You're even specifically choosing a mech... Does this mean you're going to beat me up later?
What did I do to deserve this?!
However, Jiang Hui and Huan Xian also encountered a problem, an unexpected one.

"Uh... I'll send someone to bring another one over." Butler Will seemed a little confused as well.

Huan Xian jumped out of the cabin, waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble yourself."

He then looked at the D-class standard armored vehicle that had just gone on strike, his eyes darkening.

Seeing that something was wrong, Jiang Hui also got off the plane from another aircraft. Everything was going smoothly on her end, just waiting to be turned on, but unexpectedly, Huan Xian's end suddenly got stuck.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hui walked over to Huan Xian and asked, noticing his displeased expression.

Huan Xian didn't say anything, but Butler Dewey chimed in, saying that he didn't know why the mechs had suddenly stopped working. These mechs had been tested and were fine just a few days ago, but today when they were started up, they inexplicably froze and couldn't move, as if their cores had been burned out.

He also suggested that the two of them consider switching to a Class C or Class B mech, since there happened to be a few available here.

Jiang Hui didn't mind. She looked at Huan Xian beside her, about to ask, but the other shook his head and refused: "No need to change."

No matter how many you change, it's the same.

"How familiar are you with the pine and cypress trees?" he asked the girl next to him.

Jiang Hui: ?
--------------

"Wow, this is Jiang's mecha?" Hillman and Clarence, noticing that things were a bit different, stopped choosing mechas and gathered around to watch.

Actually, he was hoping he wouldn't have to fight, since with the strength of these three, he would get beaten up no matter who he fought, it was just a matter of how badly he would be beaten.

They looked at the greenish-blue mecha that suddenly appeared in the arena with admiration and curiosity in their eyes. It was the first time they had seen Jiang Hui's mecha.

From its appearance, this is clearly an extremely beautiful and well-constructed Class A mech, with both its materials and construction being of superior quality. Anyone with even a slight understanding of mechs would find it hard to honestly call it ugly or clumsy.

Hillman murmured, "But are they going to go this far?" So Huan Xian is planning to use the A-grade standard armor that's prepared here at the training ground?

Clarence, who was standing next to him, whispered, "Look over there."

Then, another unfamiliar mech appeared opposite the pine tree, clearly not the standardized mech from the Hillman family.

This is a Class A mimicry linear armor with very smooth lines. The exterior is mainly black and brown, and the material should be heavy metal. The mechanical joint design is quite complex, and it should have a high degree of flexibility.

Overall, Huan Xian's mecha is roughly 7:3 in proportion, slightly taller than a normal humanoid mecha, but a head shorter than Jiang Hui's custom-made humanoid mecha. However, its width and thickness are significant, and its center of gravity is considerably lower, making its maneuverability relatively more stable.
