It wasn't long before the graduation assessment for the second grade, and when all the students who knew the matter thought the matter would be over, Dong Fu was still waiting for Tang Ming's gauntlet.
Although there was no direct confrontation during this period of time, he could still see the difference from her grades in the usual courses. Everyone was not surprised that Tang Ming's grades were much higher than those of students at the same stage. They lost in a few moves under her hands, and they also felt that it was normal, because she was already very strong.
But this strength is also increasing.
Her evasive movements became more and more skillful, her movements became more and more dexterous, and her attacks became more and more fierce. Every victory became easier than the last one. This is something that can be discovered through careful observation.
It can be said that although Dong Fu doesn't know where she is now, he believes that he will know soon.
And it is true.
That was before the end of the class, Dong Fu was preparing to announce his disbandment as usual, but at this moment, Tang Ming declared war on him, and the whole class was boiling in an instant, they thought it was over.
Because the duel this time involves a gambling agreement, in order to ensure that both parties can abide by the agreement, the duel is certified through the fair platform of the empire. If Tang Ming wins, then Dong Fu needs to abide by the agreement and let her participate in the second-year graduation test , and if the winner is Dong Fu, then Tang Ming also has to give up the idea of graduating early and finish the two years of study honestly.
This matter soon became known to everyone, and the whole school and even the empire paid attention.
It is a fantasy for a student at school to beat the instructor, let alone the chief instructor. Some people wanted to start betting on this duel, but they were all banned.
The most special thing about this competition is that both parties involved are holders of high-level mecha driving licenses, but one of them is a student and the other is an instructor. For the purpose of observation, this competition is also a mecha competition.
In fact, the mecha competition is beneficial to Tang Ming in some respects. Dong Fu has been away from the Imperial Army for many years for some reason, and even in school, he is not responsible for the mecha operation course. First of all, he couldn't tell how long he hadn't touched a mech.
But the use of mechs was brought up by Dong Fu himself.
The venue for the competition is the training ground for simulated battles, which is a bit different from the previous touch control room. The mechas in the training ground are all real mechas, but they are not combat mechas that can go on the battlefield, but special mechas. For training and fighting.
There is no difference in operation, the only difference is the weakening of lethality.
"What do you want to do after you join the Imperial Army?" This was what Dong Fu asked her before the duel that day.
Tang Ming still remembered her answering like this.
"Of course it is to complete what the Imperial Army has been working hard on."
For this duel, Tang Ming didn't feel nervous at all, instead she had some subtle expectations. She always felt that the training method Mr. Jiang gave her was a bit wrong, so that she just met someone who seemed to be able to fight a little bit. The opponent will be a little excited.
Before entering the training ground, Tang Ming was stopped by Xia Duo.
To be honest, she hasn't seen Xia Duo for a long time, and she almost completely forgot the existence of this heroine.
"Miss Tang, do you really want to decide the outcome with Instructor Dong?" Obviously she no longer works for the Tang family, but Xia Duo still doesn't seem to be able to change the name she is used to.
Xia Duo is not in the special class. Her understanding of Tang Ming is limited to those rumored outsiders, such as SSS-level mental power, mecha test handsome face, and the challenge letter to the chief instructor.
Although she also wants to graduate as soon as possible and avenge her mother, she also knows that it is very important to learn well in school.
Everyone in the military academy studied the same courses, and Xia Duo herself was considered to be among the best in the class, but occasionally tried to compete with the chief instructor several times, but always failed miserably in an instant.
There is absolutely no one in her class who is a match for the chief instructor. Even if it is an excellent class, the difference should not be too big. Is Miss Tang too eager for success
"It doesn't matter if you lose, please don't be discouraged!"
Xia Duo cheered her up seriously.
"..." Tang Ming took a few glances at her to make sure that she didn't come here specially to trouble her, so she said bluntly, "Thank you."
Although she doesn't have close contact with the eldest lady of the Tang family, as an acquaintance, Xia Duo feels that she still needs to cheer her on. Their goal is to enter the imperial army, not to mention that Miss Tang's previous conversation with instructor Dong is also very important. I heard.
Miss Tang's eagerness to join the Imperial Army is to eliminate the Zerg, which is completely consistent with her.
In the past, Xia Duo always felt that Ms. Tang was very arrogant and not easy to get along with, but now Xia Duo didn't think so. She thought, even if Ms. Tang lost this time, after graduation next year, they will be able to Joining the Imperial Army together, with the same ideal, they will soon become good friends, even good partners fighting side by side.
There are not a few people who have the same thoughts as Xia Duo. In this competition, the soldiers of the current Imperial Army who are on the sidelines also feel that even if this little girl loses this time, if she joins the Imperial Army a year later, she must be a pretty good one. A tremendous strength.
I just hope that Dong Fu can be merciful and don't wipe out the enthusiasm of the little girl.
But when the competition really started, their previous thoughts were all slapped in the face. Is this really a duel between students and instructors? When did the students of the Imperial Military Academy become so cruel? !
Tang Ming has always known that Dong Fu is quite strong, but this kind of strength is still a bit short of Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu is a person who has been on the battlefield all year round, and Dong Fu has been leading students in school for many years. No matter how fierce he used to be, his attack methods have become relatively mild.
Tang Ming used to think that although Dong Fu taught people very well, his methods were a bit rude. This kind of thinking was completely wiped out after Tang Ming met Jiang Yu and Jiang Lao. Dong Fu was really too gentle. up.
On the battlefield, this kind of tenderness is unacceptable.
This is a private duel, so although it is public, it is not to the extent of a live broadcast. Those who come to watch the duel are all acquaintances or people who know Shuangfa, most of them are students, and some are paying attention to this The Imperial Army at that time.
Although Tang Ming learned from two 'barbarians', her ways are not barbaric. What she learned was powerful attacks, but what she has are constantly changing methods.
Dong Fu hadn't encountered this kind of opponent for a long time. She seemed to really want to put him to death. She was merciless and calculated the next step with great precision in every move. The offensive seemed ferocious, but Not without conspiracy.
In this way, he really fell into a disadvantage.
The onlookers eating melons were stunned, that was the chief instructor! It's good for them to last a few minutes under the chief instructor's hands, but they still have the advantage after playing for more than ten minutes? !
The school girl is so strong!
But after a long time, no matter how tricky the tricks are, they will be used to it. When Dong Fu finally got used to her speed and her quick attack, one arm of his mecha had been removed, and Tang Fu The projection device on the left side of Ming Jijia was also destroyed. In other words, unless she moved, the left side would become a blind spot.
All the people who were casually hugging and watching the fun couldn't help but concentrate. They wanted to learn something from the operations of the two on stage, but after careful analysis, they found that it was too difficult. can't do it.
This is completely beyond what is taught in school.
However, based on the content taught in the school, it is impossible to obtain a high-level mecha driver's license.
How big is the gap between people!
Although there is an extra blind spot, the lack of an arm in Dong Fu's mech is extremely beneficial to Tang Ming. Dong Fu is good at using two guns, and now the two guns have to be changed to single guns.
There is a time limit for the competition, and the time is half an hour. If the competition is not finished within half an hour, it will be considered a draw.
And if the final result is a tie, then Tang Ming will also be unable to graduate early as he wished, so whether it is a draw or a loss, it makes no difference.
As the match point approached, the offensive from both sides became fierce.
For a while, those who watched were dazzled.
Didn't you lose an arm? How can there be such an intensive attack? ! What about the left blind spot! How did you notice the left attack? ! Still not human!
Seeing that time was running out, Tang Ming finally found a weakness in Dong Fu's almost flawless way of acting. Every time he avoided an attack, he would have an inertial movement, just like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It might not work, but if you don't give it a try, there's no time left.
Seizing this opportunity, Tang Ming took advantage of the gap between Dong Fu's dodging her attack, and at the right moment, the Hidden Blade built into the mecha pierced the core of the enemy's mecha.
The core is broken!
As long as Dong Fu's mecha is protected from damage before Dong Fu's mecha loses power, she wins.
But the opponent's gun hit her hatch almost at the same time.
As long as he pulls the trigger, the round is a draw.
Tang Ming was almost ashamed. The draw meant that she would not be able to graduate early, and she would die in this world if she could not complete the system's side missions. The price was too high.
But there is no way.
The mecha, which lost its core support, had no source of power, and soon dropped its arm holding the gun.
The onlookers only thought that the core of Dong Fu's mecha was damaged, and he could no longer support him to fire that shot. The victory and defeat were already divided. The first reaction of the onlookers was disbelief, and then they cheered in the next second!
Who can believe it? The students actually beat the chief instructor in the mecha battle!
The following gram is always the ending that everyone likes to see.
It's just that this battle was so beautiful that they couldn't even say anything to belittle either side, they just felt that it was too fun. Although it was a bit of a fluke to win at the last moment, a win is a win! Luck is also a kind of strength!
Sitting in the stands, Xia Duo couldn't believe it, and was speechless for a while.
Tang Ming got down from the control cabin of the mecha, walked to the side of the mecha whose core she had pierced, and knocked on the mecha's leg.
The control cabin was opened, Dong Fu extended his hand to her politely after getting off the mech, and even praised: "Good job."
"Thank you." Tang Ming held his hand, "I will beat you next time."
Those who think that the mecha’s energy is insufficient are those who have no practical experience in mecha and do not know enough about it. After the kernel fails, the mecha still has some controllable time. Dong Fu can make a draw with one shot. In that case, she had no time to escape.
It was because she acted too hastily, that's why the final situation that resembled the death of both of them was created.
However, Tang Ming was somewhat unwilling to be let go of the water so clearly. Although the result was the best for her, the victory was not happy.
Dong Fu shook his head, "You have already defeated me."
"In the end, it was clear that you let me go."
He stretched out his hand, took her hand and put it on his chest, and said in a serious and serious tone: "You won."
"… ah?"
"The graduation test for the second grade is three months later. I will submit the application for you. If it goes well, it will be approved in about a month. However, because this is the first time to apply for early graduation, there are still some uncertainties .”
He let go of her hand, and didn't care about her blank expression, he just explained to her, "That's it, if you have any questions, you can come to me."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Tang Ming with a dazed face and the onlookers who were even more dazed were left behind.
Although I didn't hear what they said, what the hell was that action just now? ! — crowds of onlookers.
The Empire has never considered the policy of allowing students to graduate from the Imperial Military Academy early, but this time there was an exception.
Dong Fu had already submitted relevant applications to the empire when she accepted her declaration of war, so the bet that 'you can graduate early if you win the chief instructor' has long been recognized by the empire, and the final approval did not last long. , it was approved.
Although the imperial soldiers who watched the competition could see that Dong Fu let out a little water in the end, but looking at the whole competition, they couldn't say a word against this student's early graduation.
They could not deny that she would not learn much by staying in school.
In the graduation test three months later, as the first first-year student who graduated early, Tang Ming received countless attentions, but the content of the second-year graduation test was simpler than the test for the mech driver's license.
As the graduate with the best grades, he has the right to choose the army he wants to join independently.
The Imperial Army is also divided into many different departments, and different departments are managed by different people.
The problems faced by many graduates were completely different for Tang Ming. She chose to join the front-line troops where General Jiang Yu was located without hesitation.
