Chapter 1033 Mecha Training
It's unclear how Fron negotiated with the others, but Shi Jia was ultimately allowed to learn mecha combat. As a result, her healing course was readjusted, with one healing class every evening. On Saturdays and Sundays, she would participate in group mental therapy at the healing center.

Two weeks passed in this way, and Shi Jia adapted fairly well. Moreover, thanks to her increasingly powerful mental strength, her learning efficiency improved dramatically. For the mecha theory courses she was currently studying, she didn't need to preview or review at all; she had already memorized everything after class.

The day finally arrived for the mecha training class.

Fang Bumian looked at the excited, green faces and nodded. "Very good, another group of clueless greenhorns." Finally, he focused his attention on the two girls standing in the corner.

To be precise, it fell on the girls that the principal had specifically instructed to take care of.

What was her name again? Fang Bumian frowned. Slana? He sneered inwardly. The Slana family's daughter? To actually get the principal to give her special treatment? She must have quite a background!
But once she's in his hands, she has no say in the matter!
Fang Bumian's lips curled into a cold smile, which caught the attention of his excited classmates, who felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water!
Hiss~ They remembered, Fang Bumian was called the Cold-Faced Yama by the upperclassmen! What was he trying to do with that weird smile?
Wait, where is he looking?
Oh, it's Slana and Aria, two of the only five girls in their class!

What is Fang Yanluo planning to do?
The students looked at each other, exchanging silent glances.

'Should we look after Slana and Aria for a while?'

"Are you tired of living? Getting targeted by Fang Yanluo is a losing proposition!"

'What can we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch our lovely female classmate be tormented by Fang Yanluo?'

"You're exaggerating. Fang Yanluo is an instructor, after all."

'You haven't heard of Fang Yanluo's evil deeds...'

……

Shi Jia, who was being stared at, felt like she was being pricked by needles. "T-Teacher, is there something you need?"

Fang Bumian's eyes flickered slightly. "I've looked at your file. You have absolutely no experience piloting mechs, right?"

Shi Jia was surprised to hear a hint of disdain in the other person's calm and even tone. "Yes, teacher, I will practice hard and catch up with my classmates soon."

After arriving at the Mecha Combat Department, Shi Jia learned that the Mecha Combat major required not only theoretical courses but also mecha piloting skills for admission. Only those who passed the tests could apply for the Mecha Combat major.

She got in entirely through connections.

Upon hearing her words, the students immediately snapped out of their eye contact and looked at Shi Jia with surprise and questions in their eyes: How did she get into the mecha combat major?
When will it be possible to get into the Imperial First Military Academy through back channels?
Instantly, the way her classmates looked at her changed.

Fang Bumian noticed the change in the students' expressions and showed satisfaction. He said, "In that case, find your own time to study. This course is a mecha combat training course, not a basic mecha operation course. I don't care who you are, I will not allow you to slow down my progress!"

Shi Jia nodded.

"Furthermore, if you can't keep up with my teaching pace before the middle of this semester, you can change your major yourself," Fang Bumian said coldly.

Shi Jia's heart tightened, and she became uneasy. She made a somewhat uncertain promise, "Okay, teacher, I will definitely keep up with the progress."

Fang Bumian ignored her and turned his gaze to the other elementary school students. Seeing them whispering and talking amongst themselves, he instantly turned cold and said, "Stand at attention!" Hmph, these greenhorns have quite a few little schemes up their sleeves!
"Put on your mechs and start the combat in pairs. I need to get a comprehensive understanding of your mech combat skills." Fang Bumian scanned the crowd. "Hmm, exactly 31 people. Slana, you'll learn to pilot your mechs on your own in the future mech training classes. Come to class whenever you can keep up with the pace."

"Of course, if you still can't keep up by the midterm exam this semester, then there's no need to say more."

Ailiya looked at Shi Jia with some concern, and the latter smiled at her.

“Okay.” Shi Jia had no complaints about this and walked out of the virtual training field. That’s right, the first-year mecha training courses were conducted in a virtual classroom on the optical network, and real-world training could only begin in the second year.

Firstly, to reduce losses, and secondly, to protect the safety of the students.

After leaving the virtual training ground, Shi Jia returned to her personal space on the optical network—a spacious and beautifully decorated house. Without wasting time, she brought up the index interface and began searching for basic mecha piloting courses. Soon, the virtual panel was filled with information about these courses.

It includes experience sharing, course introductions, and course learning links.

I looked through the learning links, and the fees ranged from 1,000 to 100,000 Aoxing coins. There were no free options.

Of course, Shi Jia, as a respected healer, didn't need it to be free. She compared different options and chose a course with higher ratings.

Twenty lessons cost 10,000 Aoxing coins, each lasting two hours. That's exactly the same duration as the mecha training course.

Without delay, she went straight into the lesson. Her consciousness projection disappeared from her personal space and appeared in a specially designed training ground.

The training ground was marked with crisscrossing lines, featuring raised platforms, railings, and low netting. At that moment, numerous mechs were leaping, crawling, and traversing across it, performing various high-difficulty maneuvers.

Shi Jia blinked. This was mecha training? She didn't quite understand.

At this moment, a tall, strong man with an honest and kind face walked over. "Hello, you must be Shi Jia? I am your personal coach, Wu Shi. Welcome to sign up for the Leap Mech training."

That's right, Shi Jia is the online name he chose for himself.

“Yes.” Shi Jia nodded.

"Your questionnaire shows that you have never been in contact with mechs?" Wu Shi asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand. Please follow me to the basic training area." Wu Shi led Shi Jia to the marked area in the training field, where about a dozen mechs were moving stiffly.

"This is the basic training area. You can take out your mech now. I'll teach you how to operate it."

Shi Jia shook her head. "Do you provide mechs here?" She hadn't bought a mech yet, neither a virtual one nor a physical one.

"Huh? You don't have a mecha?" Wu Shi asked in surprise. Generally speaking, people who sign up to learn how to use mecha have purchased their own mechas in advance, because there is a process of getting the mecha pilot and the mecha to work together.

Through continuous practice and refinement, the compatibility between the mecha pilot and the mecha increases, and it may even reach a point where the pilot and the mecha become one.

Therefore, most mech pilots use mechs based on data from real-world mechs on the optical network. Furthermore, if the compatibility data between the mech pilot and the mech increases on the optical network, the data can be downloaded to the mech, allowing for fine-tuning and making it even more suitable for the pilot's use.

Therefore, Wu Shi was genuinely shocked to hear that Shi Jia had not purchased a mecha.

Shi Jia nodded. "I didn't have time, I'll buy one tonight. Can I borrow your mecha today? I can pay the rental fee."

"Alright." Wu Shi nodded, opened the database of the Flying Leap Training Hall, and selected a C-class mech.

"Your mental strength has reached level C, right?" This is the minimum requirement for piloting a level C mech.

“It’s reached.” Shi Jia nodded, accepting the mecha’s data. The next second, a 3-meter-tall mecha appeared beside him.

“Alright, you go up first.” Wu Shi said, pointing his hands in the air, and a cockpit projection appeared in front of him. He was using his instructor privileges to link the piloting privileges of this Class C mech.

Firstly, it facilitates teaching; secondly, it prevents students from losing control while driving.

Shi Jia didn't waste any words. She clicked on the cabin entry request, and the mecha's chest opened, revealing a ladder. She stepped onto it.
