Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

The translucent panels on the training hall's dome cut the midday sunlight into countless fragments, falling on Quan Jiuxi's crossed long legs.

She sat leaning against the shadow of an abandoned mecha, an energy block casually resting on the tip of her combat boots, the cold gleam of the metal making her ankle look even whiter.

The instructor's voice was like an old optical computer player, buzzing in the empty venue. The content was nothing more than the basic points of mecha operation - these things, Quan Jiuxi memorized by heart after just a glance at the original owner's memory, and he was too lazy to waste time.

She raised her hand to brush away the strands of hair beside her ear, revealing a graceful neck. The silver star pendant hanging on her earlobe swayed slightly with her movements, casting tiny spots of light on the side of her neck.

A few boys not far away secretly looked over here, with surprise and contempt in their eyes - everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Quan family had a face that could turn everyone upside down, but she only had D-level mental power. She was beautiful but useless.

"Miss! Wake up! It's your turn!" Quan Xiaoqiang stumbled over. The few people following him looked even more panicked than him. It was obvious that they were very worried about this assessment.

Quan Jiuxi slowly opened his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and there was a hint of laziness in his eyes as if he had just woken up.

When she stood up, the belt of her combat uniform outlined her slender yet powerful waistline. The red and white color blocks were particularly dazzling in the sunlight, but strangely, they made her skin look as cold and white as porcelain, and her lips looked even more rosy.

"What's the hurry?" She spoke lightly, her voice slightly hoarse from just waking up, but it was like a feather scratching the tip of their hearts, making Quan Xiaoqiang and the others instantly forget what they were going to say, and they just stared blankly at her as she walked towards the fighting stage.

The battle stage in the center of the training hall is made of starship alloy and has a cold and hard metallic luster.

At this moment, the instructor on the podium was pointing at the light screen with a laser pen. Seeing Quan Jiuxi slowly walking over, his brows were furrowed.

His name is Walker. He has served in the border for ten years. He despises those playboys who rely on their family background to get by, especially Quan Jiuxi. He has been rated D in the mental power test three times and can't even operate a mecha simulator, but he has a place in the special class, which is an insult to soldiers.

"Special class, compete in order of overall ranking." Walker's voice was as cold as steel. When he glanced at Quan Jiuxi, it was as if he was looking at a stone in the way. "The last one, Quan Jiuxi, will compete against the second to last one, Bai Yishu."

A low sneer suddenly rang out from the audience.

The special class is composed of people with connections sent in by major families. The two at the bottom of the overall ranking are a good-for-nothing young lady and an orphan who crawled up from a garbage planet. This battle is simply a typical example of "weaklings fighting each other".

Quan Jiuxi ignored the mocking looks and walked to his own mecha.

But this treasure, which is enough to make an intermediate mecha master jealous, is difficult to even start in the hands of its original owner.

"Tsk, what a waste of talent!" A clear mockery came from the audience. It was a student from the elite class next door, who was watching the show with his arms folded. "Even if she was given a god-level mecha, she would only be able to use it as a decoration."

Quan Jiuxi ignored him and lightly tapped the sensor on the mecha's hatch. With a soft "beep", the hatch slowly rose, revealing the padded cockpit inside.

When she bent down to sit in, her long hair fell from her shoulders, and a few strands of hair swept across the control panel, making the cold metal appear a little softer.

On the other side of the battle stage, Bai Yishu was nervously grabbing the hatch of his mecha.

It was the "iron lump" distributed uniformly by the school. Its gray body was covered with scratches, and it was obviously an old model that had been used for several years.

The girl was thin and small, wearing a washed-out combat uniform. She stood next to the huge mecha, like a blade of grass that could be blown down by the wind and rain at any time.

But her eyes were surprisingly bright. Quan Jiuxi looked at her from the cockpit's monitoring screen—there was no inferiority in those eyes, only enthusiasm for mecha.

In the original owner's memory, Bai Yishu was transferred from the Alpha garbage planet half a year ago. It is said that he taught himself some mecha repair by picking up starship wreckage. He was accidentally discovered by the school director who was inspecting him and was admitted to the special class as an exception.

Her mental power test is D-level, which is higher than the original owner, but she is still at the bottom of the class. Apart from attending classes every day, she does odd jobs in the maintenance room. She is a nobody that no one bothers to pay attention to.

"Everyone, get ready for battle." Instructor Walker pressed the timer, his voice calm, obviously not expecting this battle to be anything interesting.

Quan Jiuxi leaned lazily back in his chair, his fingertips casually resting on the joystick.

Across from him, Bai Yishu took a deep breath and slammed the start button. The old mecha made a strange creaking sound and slowly straightened up. Although his movements were stiff, they revealed a fierce determination to fight to the death.

"start!"

As Walker finished speaking, Bai Yishu controlled the mecha and rushed forward first.

Her movements were awkward, obviously she had not received systematic training. She swung the energy sword without any rules, more like she was slashing randomly.

Quan Jiuxi simply controlled the "Red Shadow" to slightly sideways and avoided the attack. The silver-red mecha drew a smooth arc under the light, like an elegant flying bird.

"Tsk, you can only hide as expected." The ridicule from the elite class became louder.

Bai Yishu didn't give up, gritting her teeth and manipulating the mecha to charge forward once more. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her fingers gripping the joystick turned white from the exertion, but the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

For her, being able to stand here and control a mecha was something she had never dared to imagine before. Even if she lost, she had to lose gracefully.

Just as the two mechas were about to collide again, something strange happened - Bai Yishu's mecha suddenly issued a shrill alarm, and the red fault light flashed wildly.

The mecha's right arm rose uncontrollably, and the energy sword stabbed straight towards the cockpit of "Red Shadow"!

"What's going on?" Bai Yishu's face suddenly changed, and he frantically pressed the brake buttons with both hands, but the control panel seemed dead and had no response.

The old mecha seemed to be injected with violent energy and rushed forward at an even faster speed. Bai Yishu in the cockpit was so scared that he was shaking all over and almost crying.

"Oh no! The energy circuit is aging and short-circuited!" the maintenance student suddenly shouted, his face pale. "The energy converter of that old mecha should have been replaced long ago. A short circuit will cause the control system to lock up, and now it's automatically executing the last command!"

Instructor Walker's expression changed instantly.

He rushed to the main control console, pounding on the panel with his hands, trying to activate the emergency brake: "Damn it! The brake system is also locked!"

The training hall instantly descended into chaos. The students in the spectator booths screamed and retreated. Quan Xiaoqiang was terrified, clinging to the railing and shouting, "Miss! Jump out of the cabin!"

Quan Jiuxi's "Red Shadow" was right in front of the out-of-control mecha. At its current speed, the energy sword would pierce the cockpit in less than three seconds!

The D-level mental strength cannot withstand the impact of the energy sword at all, and even the people in the mecha will be vaporized instantly!

Just when everyone thought they were about to see a tragedy, Quan Jiuxi slowly pressed the hatch switch.

"Om-"

The silver-red hatch opened upwards, revealing a girl sitting inside.

Her long hair was blown by the airflow inside the mecha, brushing against her delicate profile. Although she was in danger, there was no trace of panic on her face.

The red and white combat uniform made her eyes and eyebrows look cool and her lips were slightly raised, as if she was smiling.

"Crazy! What does she want to do?" Instructor Walker's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly jumped down from the platform and wanted to rush over to pull her, but was blocked halfway by the strong wind raised by the mecha.

Quan Jiuxi stepped out of the cockpit and stood on the mecha's shoulder. Her red and white combat uniform rustled in the strong wind, the hem of the uniform flapping against her legs, but she remained as if nailed there, her posture upright.

Quan Xiaoqiang and others below covered their eyes in fear, and the students in the elite class also held their breath. Even the air seemed to freeze.

They saw Quan Jiuxi raise his hand. Not to control any device, but simply to casually raise it in front of him, his palm facing the mecha that was charging out of control.

The next second, a scene that shocked everyone appeared. It seemed that only that figure was left between heaven and earth.
