Chapter 127: Chapter 30: School Violence Incident
“Shameless!”
In the meeting room of the Noah Academy building, Lin Qingze slammed his hand on the table and cursed loudly.
“The Mecha Department of the Imperial Knight College is the top one among the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, how dare they bring their students here for an exchange?”
Lin Qingze was very annoyed, those bastards.
It was bad enough to have the exchange behind closed doors, but to broadcast it all over the city?
Wasn’t that just a slap in the face?
To prove how excellent the Imperial Knight College’s Mecha Department was?
There were quite a few teachers from the college in front of the meeting room, all of them brimming with righteous indignation.
“Indeed, bastards, the Imperial Knight College has already taken away the best new students in Mecha, and now, the best incoming students will only want to enroll there.”
“Why not reject the exchange?” someone weakly suggested.
Instantly, several gazes fell on the speaker, who seemed to realize he had misspoken and awkwardly bowed his head in silence.
The Eight Extraordinary Colleges had always had a tradition of exchanges, usually taking students to visit each other and train together.
However, it was rare to stir the whole city and broadcast throughout the city.
But since the Imperial Knight College had already announced it through the broadcast, how could Noah Academy refuse the exchange now without losing face?
That would clearly show they were afraid to compete.
“Think of something, do you have any strategies?” Lin Qingze looked around, only to see everyone bowing their heads, the previously indignant crowd was now silent.
Seeing this, Lin Qingze’s face darkened, and he scolded, “When the Imperial Knight College slaps Noah Academy’s face, it’s also slapping your faces. Even if we lose, it can’t be too terrible, otherwise, I wonder how you will ever hold your heads up in front of the media.”
Still no response.
It was not their fault they didn’t have a strategy, the caliber of students was clear.
The students from the Mecha Department of the Imperial Knight College were already the best among the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, all elites with exceptional backgrounds, trained from a young age as Mecha Masters.
The best students at the Imperial Knight College were all concentrated in the Mecha Department.
Not to mention Lin Jue, even if excluding him, Noah Academy was hardly a match for the others.
“Leng Qiu, do you have any ideas?” Lin Qingze turned to a female teacher.
She was dressed in black, with short hair and a stoic expression.
“No way.” Leng Qiu replied.
“Have you thought of how to handle this?” Lin Qingze continued.
“Just give up.” Leng Qiu responded.
Lin Qingze glared at her.
But Leng Qiu didn’t care and met his gaze, “Dean Lin, this year we only have Reynolds who is somewhat decent, but the gap is too large compared to Lin Jue. Moreover, besides Lin Jue, the Imperial Knight College has another student with an A+ Mecha Talent Assessment. What else can we do but give up?”
“This is going to be broadcast throughout the city.” Lin Qingze slammed the table.
“Dean Lin, slamming the table doesn’t help, can I fight them myself?” Leng Qiu coldly retorted. “Or, perhaps you give me a student with a Talent Assessment of S, and I will train him?”
Lin Jue, with a Mecha Talent Assessment of S.
How could they fight that?
She was powerless.
Lin Qingze couldn’t do anything with Leng Qiu, they did have a student with S talent, but he used to be a Desert Hunter and didn’t know Mecha.
“You and the Mecha Department will take responsibility when the time comes.” Lin Qingze pointed at Leng Qiu.
He was not going to be the one embarrassed.
Leng Qiu was a teacher in the Mecha Department, she couldn’t escape.
“Snap…” Leng Qiu immediately slapped the table and stood up to leave.
Lin Qingze watched her back in disbelief.
The other teachers all kept their heads down and remained silent, Leng Qiu’s temper was well-known, she wouldn’t give face to anyone.
In her words.
She could always resign!
Most involved in Mecha weren’t short of money.
Being financially secure meant being bold.
Moreover, Leng Qiu was the last student of the Old Dean.
……
Xu Mo walked around the campus, hearing many people discuss the same thing.
The Imperial Knight College was coming to Noah Academy for an ‘academic exchange’.
This Lin Jue, seemed to be very impressive, with a Mecha Talent Assessment at level S.
Xu Mo thought that Extraordinary Academy had many experts, even a retired teacher had left him completely defenseless, it seemed he really needed to buckle down and study.
Mecha Talent Assessment S level, he must be very strong at piloting Mechas.
He wondered what level he could achieve.
He was on his way to the Mechanical Building.
There was a Mechanical combat class today, which would be a good opportunity to gauge the level of Noah Academy’s students.
And, he had yet to experience the Third Generation Mecha.
He wondered how it differed from the First Generation Mecha in terms of motion capture and control.
Chen Qiuxue was also walking on the campus roads, her long hair billowing behind her in her academy uniform, still making her a beautiful sight on campus, attracting many gazes.
Chen Qiuxue walked quietly, paying no attention to the surrounding eyes.
Ahead, she saw a familiar figure.
Thinking about the last time she was ignored in the classroom, Chen Qiuxue felt somewhat frustrated, and walked straight ahead with her books, without looking at Xu Mo.
Just as they were about to pass each other by, the books in Chen Qiuxue’s hands slipped to the ground, she looked down.
Xu Mo did not bend down, instead, he walked past her.
Chen Qiuxue was stunned for a moment, then squatted down to pick up her books, looking back at Xu Mo’s retreating figure.
Was there something wrong with her looks?
Or did he not know who she was?
Chen Qiuxue started to doubt herself.
Indeed, Xu Mo had not seen Chen Qiuxue, because he had seen someone else.
Ming Yu.
This made Xu Mo somewhat frustrated, seeing him all too frequently.
Ming Yu was walking with a beautiful female student, appearing quite pleased with himself.
But the moment he saw Xu Mo, his pleasant mood instantly vanished, his expression turning sinister.
Thinking back to the two times he was defeated, Ming Yu felt incredibly stifled.
“He has been staring at you, do you know him?” The woman beside Ming Yu, who was sweet-looking, noticed Xu Mo’s gaze fixed on Ming Yu and spoke with some hostility.
Ming Yu’s expression turned awkward. Naturally, he had felt Xu Mo’s gaze and clenched his fists, whispering, “A lowly Desert Hunter who entered the academy relying on a woman.”
“Living off a woman?” The woman said with a light laugh.
“Yes, our academy’s instructor, Lin Xi—she appears innocent on the surface, but who knows what she’s really like behind the scenes,” Ming Yu said coldly.
Although Ming Yu spoke softly,
Xu Mo’s hearing was certainly good enough to catch it.
His expression turned even colder, and he walked toward Ming Yu.
“He’s coming over,” the woman said softly. Ming Yu looked up and saw Xu Mo charging at him.
“I…” Ming Yu had not even finished speaking when a punch smashed down.
“Bang.”
Ming Yu was knocked down once again.
This was the third time.
Students walking around the academy all stopped to look towards Xu Mo.
A public fight inside the academy?
Of course, it hardly counted as a fight.
“I want you dead,” Ming Yu’s mentality had completely exploded.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
As punch after punch came down, Ming Yu’s voice grew softer, and he curled up on the ground, protecting his head.
“Isn’t that the Young Master Ming Yu of the Ming Group?”
“I heard he is a wastrel, but it doesn’t look like it – how can a wastrel be so pitiful.”
“Who is that guy, so ferocious, to beat him like that…”
People around started to feel sympathy for Ming Yu; this second-generation rich kid didn’t act like one at all.
Normally isn’t it the rich second generation who beats others?
How come he got beaten up.
Chen Qiuxue also heard the commotion behind her.
She turned her head and saw Xu Mo violently beating Ming Yu.
Chen Qiuxue opened her mouth.
This transfer student really has a personality!
Wasn’t he afraid of being expelled from the academy?
After beating him, Xu Mo whispered to Ming Yu, “From now on, every time I see you, I’ll beat you.”
After saying that, he started walking away as if nothing had happened.
Ming Yu roared, as if venting.
The prominent Young Master of the Ming Group, being threatened like this.
See once, beat once?
The girl beside him was stunned, looking at Ming Yu with some doubt, “Aren’t you from the Ming Group?”
Saying that, she walked away.
Ming Yu had been boasting to her earlier, but how had he been beaten by a ‘living-off-a-woman’ Desert Hunter in the blink of an eye?
It must be fake.
Ming Yu, seeing the crowd gathering around him, was about to lose his mind, and picked up the Communicator to dial the Security Bureau’s number.
However, the Security Bureau, hearing that it was an issue at Noah Academy, said they would report it to the academy to handle.
Matters of the Extraordinary Academy, the Security Bureau doesn’t handle!
Ming Yu was furious; he then dialed another number, Ming Hui’s teacher, who was the introducer from the Ming Foundation set up by the academy; it was this person who had taken the lead in bringing him to the academy.
With no reason this time, Xu Mo had violently assaulted him in public, and he was going to have Xu Mo thrown out of the academy and then killed.
Soon, the issue was escalated step by step, eventually reaching Dean Lin Qingze.
Lin Qingze was a bit troubled, as he was already frustrated with another matter concerning the World Noble College.
With no other choice, he dialed Xu Mo’s Communicator number.
Xu Mo, who had just reached the Mechanical Building, received the call from Lin Qingze.
“Dean Lin,” Xu Mo answered.
“Xu Mo, did you just hit Ming Yu?” Lin Qingze asked.
“Yes,” Xu Mo openly admitted, “If this causes trouble for Dean Lin, I can leave the academy.”
Xu Mo had been introduced to the academy by Lin Xi.
Hearing Ming Yu insult Lin Xi, how could he remain indifferent? It was as if he had never attended at all.
“No, no trouble,” Lin Qingze’s body shook slightly, “I was just asking what that guy did; do you need my help to deal with him?”
Xu Mo was somewhat moved… thinking that it was indeed Extraordinary Academy, the retired instructor was an expert and the dean was so reasonable.
“It’s a personal grudge, no need to deal with it.” Since Dean Lin was being so reasonable, Xu Mo naturally couldn’t make things difficult for Lin Qingze.
The person who got beaten being dealt with was a bit unjustifiable.
Xu Mo was still very reasonable.
“Well then, Xu Mo, are you still accustomed to the academy?” Lin Qingze asked with concern.
“Quite good,” Xu Mo said.
“That’s good, if you have any trouble, come directly to me,” Lin Qingze said.
“Alright,” Xu Mo responded, “But what should I do if I see Ming Yu again and can’t hold myself back?”
“Cough, cough…” Lin Qingze coughed, “Then it must mean Ming Yu deserved it, just don’t cause a fatality.”
“Thank you, Dean Lin,” Xu Mo felt moved in his heart.
With this statement from Dean Lin, Xu Mo was reassured.
Lin Qingze hung up the Communicator, feeling a bit troubled.
Geniuses really do have their quirks.
This matter with World Noble College was definitely going to be damned, and he was expecting Xu Mo to help Noah Academy reclaim face in the future.
Super S indeed!
If he ran now, the Old Dean would skin him.
Better not provoke, better not provoke.
As for the Ming Group, it was none of his business!
