Heinrich was thinking about how to get Edna to hand over the Phoenix, Dana was thinking about how to win the Mecha League, and the royalists in the military were thinking about how to create a little prince with the blood of a marshal.
The three parties reached a wonderful consensus: the Royal Military Academy must lose.
And Caroline definitely didn't want to lose.
On the second day, the mecha team ranked in the semi-finals. The principal, the director of the research institute, and the senior officials of the military academy attended together. Everyone was very concerned about the final top three—that represented the final candidates to participate in the mecha league one month later.
Gavin also stubbornly crawled out of the military doctor's office that morning, and went to the airport to give Luan Zhu some final touches. It was just dawn at that time, and Dean thought he was the first one. Who knew that when he entered the airport, he saw Gavin with his back to him, sitting in the shadow of the huge mecha, concentrating on typing on the computer.
Dean was a little startled and stopped for a while.
"The nerve circuit leading to the particle gun is not very stable, so I reconnected it for you." Gavin said without turning his head, "The firing time has also been reduced by 0.039 seconds, which has reached the limit of a C-class mech."
"…Thanks. How did you do it?"
"Observation, thinking, combining experience, and proceeding cautiously... This is the process of basically doing everything."
Dean laughed and said, "Oh? You have a lot of experience?"
Gavin subconsciously wanted to say that I have repaired more mechas than you have ever seen, and this is not a problem; but he paused before the words came out.
"No, no." He lowered his voice, as if talking to himself: "...that's weird."
Strange things are yet to come.
The semi-finals started at 9:00 in the morning. First, there were two groups of matches. After the winner was decided, the loser challenged the winner of the opposing group. Those who lost two rounds in a row lost the top three qualifications.
Before the start of the game, Gavin went to visit Mecha Chaos Zhu again, but found that Dean was talking to the instructor. For some reason, the faces of both of them were very ugly. Gavin didn't want to disturb him, so he quietly went out through the back door, still wondering what happened.
As a result, as soon as the game started, he felt something was wrong—Lan Zhu's movements were too uncoordinated!
Most of the mechas are huge, and the auditorium is set in a covered floating corridor 100 meters above the ground. Everyone wears special glasses, so they can clearly see every action of the giant mechs fighting. Edna specially arranged a good position for Gavin, and within a minute of the opening, he could see that the right side of Luan Zhu's body was moving a bit slowly.
This slowness is difficult to find, and it is often a delay of a few tenths of a second—but in a battle, a tenth of a second is the difference between life and death!
"Look, I said this little brat can't compare to Admiral Aaron—I tell you, Admiral Aaron has good physical strength and endurance, if you are tempted..."
Gavin grabbed the ball of light, and a few seconds later the griffin broke free and plunged into the backpack.
The match didn't last long, and a few minutes later, the opponent's lightsaber made a sharp slash, which ended the battle cleanly.
The winner enjoys the cheers of the whole school, and the loser hasten to send the mech for repair and prepare for the next game. Gavin walked down from the stands while no one was paying attention, and found the door of the preparation room all the way, stopping Dean who was walking in a hurry.
"What's going on, what's wrong with the mecha?"
Dean didn't look depressed, on the contrary he was very calm: "It's not Luan Zhu's fault."
"But your command is not wrong, it's because the mech's reaction is delayed." Gavin said seriously: "Tell me what happened, it's still too late, maybe I can help you."
Dean didn't speak for a long time, with a very hesitant look on his face. Gavin stared into his eyes, and after a moment a flash of inspiration: "—is that the technician you hired?"
"..."
"Lan Zhu needs a technician co-pilot, but he didn't come today?"
Dean's look said it all.
Gavin turned and walked towards the preparation room, Dean grabbed his hand: "No, you can't be the co-pilot! This kind of competition is too intense, you're just a weak-"
"And the Omega who defeated you." Gavin said kindly, "I won't add the adjective 'ruthless'."
Dean: "…"
The two stared at each other in the corridor, and after tens of seconds, Gavin finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Is it so difficult to overcome Alpha's arrogant and ridiculous self-esteem?"
"...No, no."
"That is how the matter?"
Dean hesitated for a long time, and finally said in embarrassment: "I was wondering... Did you help me because you said you wanted to pay me back at the beginning of school?"
Gavin stared at him blankly, and a neat row of "..." symbols appeared above his head.
After a long while, he patted Dean on the shoulder and said earnestly, "—be more mature."
Half an hour later, the game started again. Dean's opponent was Claire, an elite student in the mecha class who was in the same grade as him.
These two people usually have a relationship between the king and the king in the mech team. Last semester, it was said that they could still maintain a face-to-face relationship. This semester, for some reason, they have become strangers who don't even say hello.
Claire's mecha is generally D-level, but the parameters are not much different, and he has a very rare trump card-electromagnetic orbital double swords.
Compared with traditional railguns, this new type of weapon combining cold and heat was very popular during the First Galactic War. As long as it can be made, it is basically B-level. .
Gavin was wrapped in a tight combat uniform and wearing goggles, sitting in the messy co-pilot. The lower the level of the mecha, the more complicated the console. There are at least a thousand mechanical buttons and handles of various colors in front of him. Dean’s voice came from the communicator, and it sounded very dignified: “I have reset the buttons. In case of accident, you push the red handle to death and it pops up. Remember, your safety comes first and nothing beats your…”
"My safety." Gavin interjected, "Last week I took the time to read the Omega Protection Act. If I die, you will have to go to prison for the rest of your life."
Dean: "…"
After ten seconds, the countdown ends and the game starts instantly.
The opponent didn't hesitate for half a second, and the first move was to draw his sword and charge forward, slashing towards Luan Zhu's right side with all his strength—his movement was at least twice as fast as that of his opponent in the previous round. If Luan Zhu didn't have a technician, this blow would definitely hit trick!
Dean and Gavin in the two cockpits yanked the handles at the same time, and the mecha giant retreated loudly, dodging the electromagnetic double knives at a critical moment, and then fired a blatant shot!
Suddenly, there was a sound in the stands: "—Okay!"
The particle cannon hit the opponent's arm, and the fire and black smoke rose at the same time. Dean on the communicator said angrily, "Gavin!"
"..."
"What did I tell you! Don't take the initiative to attack, it's too dangerous for you!"
Gavin ignored it, and saw on the screen that the opponent retreated more than ten meters, chaotically caught up with him, and grabbed the opponent's injured arm with his bare hands. The iron giant's hand-to-hand combat was simply shocking. Every collision caused a strong airflow, which shook the grandstand slightly.
Edna couldn't help but stood up, and said softly: "The cannon just now was...his handwriting."
"Normal, his mental threshold is several times higher than that of Dean, and the armor will not listen to Dean when the command of the main and co-driver contradicts." Caroline paused, and said: "Now it's not him who fights in close combat. .”
Edna nodded slightly.
Gavin sat in the co-pilot, casually teasing a mech nerve ending. In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, Luan Zhu only allocated a little sensory system to play with him, feeling very shy inside.
Both Dean and his opponent had an academic fighting style, which was completely different from Gavin's. But it is undeniable that Dean is also very unique. Taking advantage of the characteristics of the C-level mecha's high output in close combat, he tightly held the opponent's mecha, and beat the world like a storm.
Gavin was only in charge of assisting—manipulating the nervous system, making fine-tuning of movements, and more to ensure that the fist hit the opponent's most vulnerable point.
The opponent's technician was obviously much inferior. He tried to trip Luan Zhu with his foot repeatedly, but his micromanagement was always inaccurate. Gavin shot back and pierced the sole of his foot instead.
The opponent's mecha let out an angry roar, and finally pushed Luan Zhu away in the gap, throwing the destroyed electromagnetic long knife far away. The nearly 100-meter-long giant knife fell to the ground with a shocking bang, and then it lifted the other knife high and swept across, cutting off half of Luan Zhu's palm in a flash!
The lightning burst out several meters, and Luan Zhu lost his balance and fell backwards. The opponent's mecha roared and charged, and at this moment, Gavin activated the magnetic concussion cannon.
-boom!
The close-range electromagnetic bombardment sent the two steel giants into the air, and Luanzhu was blown into the air, only to see that the opponent had fallen tens of meters away; at the same time, it raised its long knife to the sky, aimed at it, and fired a dazzling electromagnetic cannon Light.
At that moment, there was no time to communicate, and Dean's first reaction was to hide!
But Gavin pushed the shock handle to the top: "Ran Zhu!"
If you extend this moment infinitely, you will find that Dean and Gavin gave orders at the same time. The former asked the mecha to dodge, while the latter asked to charge forward. The route just formed a perfect 180° flat angle.
Luan Zhu was strangely still in the air for a moment.
Immediately after Gavin's command gained an overwhelming advantage, the mecha rushed forward, and Dean frantically pulled the brakes back. The opposite operation caused the mecha to stagger a few steps, and fell headlong towards the oncoming electromagnetic gun.
There was a loud bang, the red light of the co-pilot flashed wildly, and then the emergency door "cracked!" a missile flew open!
In such an emergency, Dean didn't save himself, but expelled the technician first!
Gavin couldn't imagine that someone would do this at all, which simply refreshed his three views. No pilot in the entire history of the galaxy war did this. He didn't have time to untie the nerve belt of the mecha on his feet, and then, a huge force rushed, and he was ejected from the cabin in an instant, with the wind whistling in his ears.
A horrified scream erupted from the stands.
Gavin flew half a circle in the air, and the parachute slid straight out of his back. Centrifugal force caused him to slam into the shell of the mecha, and he immediately reached out to cover his head, but it was of no avail.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
He was slapped heavily on the entire metal, and he felt his head buzzing, and his eye sockets, ears, mouth and nose were instantly filled with blood.
The audience stood up one after another, and many even subconsciously covered their eyes. Caroline suddenly turned her head and shouted sharply: "Notify the referee seat! Stop the game!"
Just as she was speaking, Gavin's body was bounced back, swinging a graceful arc high in the air, and then hit the metal shell for the second time.
Unlike the panicked auditorium, Gavin was very calm at that moment. He quickly threw away the goggles to prevent debris from getting into his eyes, suppressed the griffin's earbuds that were about to automatically transform, and then connected to the Luanzhu spirit plug, giving a rescue command.
The nerve belt of the mecha that tightly strangled his ankle disintegrated in an instant, and Luan Zhu raised his hand to support his falling body—but it was too late, and the opponent's mecha bombarded him. Zhu's arm was blasted into countless pieces!
Gavin: "... = ="
Gavin was sandwiched between two steel mechas, like a baby bird with broken wings falling from intertwined high-rise buildings, quickly passing through heavy artillery fire, black smoke, and splashing metal fragments, and fell from a high altitude to the ground.
The two mechas roared in the sky above his head, and the electromagnetic guns suddenly emitted a dazzling snow light, aiming at each other's heart!
This must be the decisive blow.
If time stood still at this moment, it would be a very spectacular scene: the flames of war swept across the sky, the steel giants roared and roared, metal fragments exploded all over the sky, and the barrel of the gun emitted a powerful scorching light, and everything in front of it was about to be blown up. do.
Gavin was facing the huge cannon above his head, turned his head to look at the auditorium, and stretched out his hand as hard as possible.
A second was infinitely elongated, until the ground suddenly shook violently—
boom!
It felt like something in the ground suddenly bumped upwards, and the amplitude even shook the audience in the air corridor; the two mechas on the field were unstable and staggered at the same time!
Countless people fell to the ground and asked in shock: "What's going on, is there an earthquake?!"
Only Edna thought of something, and her face immediately turned pale.
From this moment on, all the following scenes happen at the same time. If you use a stopwatch, it may take milliseconds to fully reproduce all the details at that time—
At the same time as the earthquake happened, Caroline fell forward, and the red crystal pendant broke free from her chest, turning into red light and breaking through the ceiling of the stands; The electromagnetic sound waves converged and exploded into a huge light ball with a diameter of several meters; on the stand, Caroline looked up in astonishment, and saw the red crystal rapidly disintegrated in the light, and combined into countless large pieces of shining red light, rushing up. At high altitude, I caught the falling Gavin with my head; the next second, the electromagnetic light ball poured down, making a frightening explosion!
Edna lost her voice: "Celia—"
With a bang, the red giant knelt down on one knee, and instantly raised a giant shield that was as long as it was!
The electromagnetic cannon poured in at this moment, colliding with the giant shield to produce a huge explosion, and the high-speed impacting particle flow formed a horizontal membrane, completely covering the entire sky!
"This, what's going on!"
"Look at the A-level mecha!"
"Fire Fox, it's Fire Fox!"
There were endless exclamations in the stands, and the red giant stood up in the black smoke, retracted his shield, and drew his sword out of its sheath.
In the next second, the lightsaber cut off the opponent at the waist, and the brilliant arc of light spread out in a fan shape at high altitude, and the metal fragments spurted out along with countless sparks, like a fireworks festival in broad daylight.
This scene is the most spectacular spectacle since the establishment of the Royal Military Academy.
Flame Fox reached out to fish it out, grabbed the cockpit that flew out from the metal fragments in the sky, and gently lowered it to the ground. Most of the cockpit had been destroyed, Claire jumped out first, and immediately turned around to help pull out the trembling technician. The two looked up while panting.
Flame Fox stood up straight slowly, and the system mechanically said: "The command is completed, and the shutdown procedure is started."
The red giant's eyes flickered for a few moments, then suddenly went out. A cockpit with a red pattern on a white background popped up automatically, landed lightly under the action of anti-gravity, and the hatch opened with a ding.
Gavin came out with blood all over his face. Before he could stand still, Claire rushed forward and said excitedly, "You are Dean's armed technician?!"
"..."
"How much? I'm out! Form a team with me and go to the league!"
Gavin wiped the blood, looked up and said, "You—"
Immediately afterwards, the two looked at each other and were stunned.
"You are Omega..." Claire was startled by the strong fishy-sweet pheromone smell, and then realized that the smell was still familiar, and her voice trembled immediately: "You are...that Omega..."
"You're the Alpha who beat me up," Gavin narrowed his eyes, and confirmed after two seconds, "It's you."
Both new and old hatred rushed into Gavin's heart: Alpha was attracted by Omega's estrous smell, and then developed a strong desire to mate and so on. These are easy to understand. The question is why are you beating someone
Even if a military student has a tendency to be violent and has the urge to attack during the estrus period, what is the purpose of beating him to death like meeting an enemy? !
Claire immediately realized something was wrong, took half a step back, and said in vain, "I—"
Before he finished speaking, Gavin grabbed him by the collar, and hit him with a hard and heavy right uppercut, which made blood spurt from his mouth and nose. The technician next to him was stunned. Before he could scream, he saw Gavin kick in the chest, knocking Claire to the ground with a bang!
"You fucking stop, I'm just... ah!"
Claire screamed, because Gavin knelt hard on his stomach with one knee, picked up his collar with one hand, and asked solemnly, "Just what?"
"..." Any Alpha who is carried by an Omega covered in blood and full of pheromone smell at such a close distance will be dizzy and unable to distinguish north, south, east, and west.
Claire felt as if she was falling into the clouds, opened her mouth several times in vain but couldn't make a sound, and after a long while said weakly: "I'm just...passively in heat..."
Before he finished speaking, Gavin punched him in the face, almost knocking his teeth out.
"—So you are being beaten passively now."
Gavin said coldly, threw him to the ground, turned around and walked away.
