202 Forbidden Mecha (Part 1)
“After thinking for a while, Ning Shi said, “If I don’t leave with the earth-level warship immediately, is there any other way to get to the Norse Republic Academy before school starts?
“It’s like this, Teacher Wu. You know that I’m an orphan. Before the qualification test, I don’t know where my future is.
“So, I found a butcher job in the orphanage. In order to learn the skills of a butcher, I found a master.
“Although we only knew each other for a few days, master is very good to me. Not only did he teach me all the skills, but he also gave me jelly meat and an alloy butcher knife. He treated me as his last disciple to inherit his skills.
“I also promised him that no matter what happened in the future, I would definitely learn all of the butcher’s skills and become his legacy disciple.
“I’ve only been learning from him for three days, and I’ve only just gotten used to a lot of things. I need time to learn from him and fulfill my promise.”
Wu Qianlian was stunned. She felt that the two students she had recruited today were more or less out of their minds.
One of them had rejected the temptation of a mecha, while the other had chosen to enter the Norse Republic Academy later for the sake of a crude butcher profession.
“Ning Shi, I’m not trying to scare you,” Wu Qianlian advised. “The news that you’ve been tested to be S-level will soon spread throughout Sword Shield City. It’ll definitely be dangerous then.
“Although humans have a common enemy of radioactive creatures on the outside, they still can’t change the problem of infighting. You have to know that there have been many forces fighting in the Norse Republic.
“There are also some opposing forces in our Norse Republic Academy.”
Ning Shi knew about this. His S-level aptitude was too outstanding, and the opposing forces of the Norse Republic Academy adhered to the principle of ‘if you can’t get it, you must destroy it’, so they might make a move on him.
However, compared to Nico, Ning Shi felt that he was just a small wave.
On the origin planet, ten S-level aptitudes were not even as precious as a mecha. In order to compete for Nico, the Hilda family was willing to offer a mecha.
From the looks of it, it would be more dangerous to stay by Nico’s side.
Weighing the two evils, he chose the lesser one. It was better for him to stay in the orphanage first. Moreover, Ning Shi was reluctant to leave the experience babies in the breeding ground. Such a good place to farm monsters and level up without injury was not easy to find.
Seeing Ning Shi’s silence, Wu Qianlian became anxious and continued, “Ning Shi, although you’re an S-level, there are quite a few of them in the academy.
“You grew up in the outer city, so you know nothing about the theory of mechas. Close combat, brain condensation, telekinesis, all of these require a good foundation, and you don’t have any of these.
“If you go there a month in advance, you can make up for your weak foundation before school starts.
“It should be known that the competition in the Norse Republic Academy is extremely intense, and the competition in the mecha master class is especially brutal. There will be an elimination quota every month, and the students who ranked lower would be kicked out of the mecha master class.
“Although your qualifications are top-notch, your starting point is too low. If you start learning after school starts, it will be difficult to close the gap between you and the others in a month’s time. At that time, you may face the danger of being eliminated.
“Although those with S-level aptitudes have the right to be exempted from elimination twice, but in the academy, all resources are inclined towards the top students. One step first, one step first. Once you fall behind at the start, it’s too difficult for you to catch up!”
Although Wu Qianlian said this to ensure that her reward could be realized as soon as possible, it was easy for Ning Shi to stay in Sword Shield City for a long time.
But she said it with sincerity and was indeed considering it from Ning Shi’s point of view.
Ning Shi also knew that Wu Qianlian’s words made sense. Take Nico for example. He had been secretly trained for a long time. His mecha repair skills were at Tier 3, and his meditation skills were at Tier 2.
Ning Shi was currently a blank slate in mecha. It was indeed important to go to the academy early to lay the foundation.
However, Ning Shi’s way of growing up was not through boring learning, but through killing monsters to level up, so he shook his head and said, “Teacher Wu, thank you for your kindness, but I have to fulfill my promise. This is an agreement between men.”
Ning Shi’s skin was very thick. He made the reason for avoiding Nico sound so righteous.
Sure enough, Nico was moved. He said, Teacher Wu, there’s nothing wrong with Ning Shi’s way of doing things. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain. His master was so good to him, so he should fulfill his promise to his master.”
[ The host disregarded his own interests and took the risk of being eliminated by the academy in order to fulfill his promise to his master. This behavior has moved Nico. Character intimacy +2. The current character intimacy level is 62. ]
Ning Shi was speechless.
An invisible imagination was the most fatal.
Wu Qianlian didn’t try to persuade him anymore but handed him a brand-new smart wristwatch.
“This is the latest smart wristwatch developed by our academy. Bind your information to it now and register an account on the AI network.”
Ning Shi did not stand on ceremony. He took the watch and put it on his left wrist.
The black and red smartwatch was very fashionable.
After Ning Shi put it on, his entire person instantly had a noble air.
Seeing Ning Shi touch the control of his watch, Wu Qianlian said, “This smartwatch’s assistant number is 35147. You can call it directly through voice, which is more convenient.
“Number 35147, I want to register,” Ning Shi said.
A voice came from the watch.
“Number 35147 is very happy to be at your service. The registration system has been successfully accessed. Please take a look.”
A 20-inch screen appeared above the watch, on which the information required for registration was written.
