Mecha: Defeat The T-Rex Robot From The Start - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Grand Mecha Tournament! The Arduous Mission Issued by the System!

In the following days, just as they said before, Qin Yue and the others who had completed the mission had not gone out to hunt more Alien Beasts.

Instead, they stayed in the maintenance room every day, training as a squad.

Time passed very quickly and six days had passed before they knew it.

Among the class, the last squad had also completed their trial mission of killing fifty Disaster-level Alien Beasts.

However, not all the squads had returned safely.

Among them, the mecha of two squads had been destroyed by the Alien Beasts, and the pilots had also suffered serious injuries.

Fortunately, they had not been killed by the Alien Beasts. In the end, they had been saved by their squadmates.

Although many had encountered problems along the way, the trial as a whole had been completed by everyone present.

On the day the trial was completed, Qin Yue and the others once again returned to planet M10 on a cruiser.

…

“Ding Dong!”

“Xiaoyu, I’m back.”

A crisp knock sounded on the door, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from inside the room.

“Ah! Brother, you’re finally back!”

Qin Yu opened the door excitedly and when she saw Qin Yue in front of her, she threw herself into his arms without a word.

However, the little girl who was excited a second ago had tears in her eyes the next second.

“HMPH! Stinky Qin Yue, damn Qin Yue, you do know the way home after all!”

“It’s been so many days and you’ve made me stay at home alone. If you still hadn’t come back, I wouldn’t have bothered with you anymore.”

Qin Yue reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of the little girl’s eyes and comforted her softly, “Alright, I’ve made my dear little sister worried. I made it home safely.”

Qin Yue could not help but feel a pang of guilt when he saw the dark corners of Qin Yu’s eyes.

Qin Yu wanted to continue crying but then her eyes suddenly fixated on a girl behind Qin Yue who was about the same age as her.

That girl was none other than Reina.

After a long time, Qin Yu asked hesitantly, “Brother… who is she?”

The little girl in front of her was not only very beautiful but she also tugged at the corner of Qin Yue’s clothes.

Suddenly, a thought appeared in Qin Yu’s mind.

Could it be that her brother had brought back a sister-in-law for her?

“She’s called Reina. Her home was ravaged by war, and she’s the only survivor. From now on, she’ll live with us but remember, don’t let anyone find out about this.”

Qin Yue did not say much else about Reina. He put her sister down and dragged his exhausted body into the house.

Qin Yu did not ask too much, she knew that her brother would not lie to her.

When she looked carefully at Reina, her nose felt a little sour.

However, Qin Yu did not show these emotions. She said with a smile, “Little Sister Reina, I’ll bring you to my room.”

Qin Yu acted as if they were close as she pulled Reina into her room.

From time to time, Qin Yu’s giggles could be heard from the room.

As for Qin Yue, he dragged his exhausted body onto the bed after he washed up.

Not long after, he fell asleep.

…

After a night of rest, Qin Yue woke up early the next day.

He went straight to the academy after briefing Qin Yu about Reina.

Inside the Academy’s elite class classroom…

Qin Yue walked straight into the classroom, and not long after, Wang Yangming also walked in slowly with a heavy expression on his face.

Wang Yangming had just stepped into the classroom when he looked at Qin Yue, Ling Ru, and the other three with a meaningful glance before speaking.

“In a month, all of the mecha academies under the federation will be hosting the 102nd Mecha Tournament!”

“Under the banner of our Mukda Federation, there are more than 20 mecha academies. There are countless top-notch geniuses in those institutions.”

“Our academy will also send out a five-man mecha squad to participate in the Grand Mecha Tournament!”

“After some discussion, the candidates are Qin Yue, Ling Ru, Li Yanyan, Tang Lin, and Wang Jun..”

Regarding the so-called Grand Mecha Tournament, Qin Yue had only heard of it and was unfamiliar with the details.

However, Ling Ru and the others were different. When they were young, they had all watched the Grand Mecha Tournament throughout the years and knew very well what the standard tournament was like.

It was a competition where both danger and honor coexisted.

At the same time, when the students in the class heard that, they discussed amongst themselves,

“Grand Mecha Tournament? Qin Yue and the others are so strong. They can even kill Catastrophe-level Alien Beasts and Military-grade interstellar pirates. Wouldn’t participating in the Grand Mecha Tournament land them first place?”

“That might not be the case. Even if Qin Yue and the others are the strongest geniuses in our academy, there are more than twenty academies in our federation. If there are others as strong as Qin Yue and the others, it would be hard to say who would win.”

When he heard what the students had said, Wang Yangming raised his hand to signal for them to stop, then continued, “Qin Yue, try your best to prepare for the mecha tournament in a month. Remember, don’t be proud just because you killed a Catastrophe-level Alien Beast.”

“Among these top geniuses, there are many mecha squads like yours who have killed Catastrophe-level Alien Beasts!”

The faces of all the students present were filled with astonishment when they heard his words.

After all, in their opinion, even if there were people as strong as Qin Yue and the others, they would probably be as rare as phoenix feathers and kirin horns. Only a few of them existed.

Now, Wang Yangming told them that there were still many people who were as strong as Qin Yue and the others!

In that case, not to mention first place, they might not even be able to defeat those top geniuses.

On the other hand, Qin Yue was also shocked when he heard what Wang Yangming had said.

He could not help but think in his heart, “As expected, there are many geniuses in this world that should not be underestimated.”

Qin Yue knew very well in his heart that despite being able to kill the Three-headed Sandworm and the interstellar pirates, he had not realized the risks that they took to succeed.

And now, there were many other geniuses like him.

For a moment, Qin Yue could not help but look forward to the mecha tournament.

On the classroom podium, Wang Yangming’s deep gaze swept across Qin Yue and the others. He could not help but sigh in his heart.

Wang Yangming was very clear about Qin Yue’s background.

With his background, Qin Yue was still able to reach such a level of strength. Wang Yangming was incomparably impressed in his heart.

After all, the top geniuses he spoke of were all from extremely illustrious families. From the moment they were born, they had been nurtured with countless resources, and only then had they reached the level of being able to kill Calamitous-level Alien Beasts.

It was hard to imagine what kind of strength Qin Yue would have now if he had such resources at his disposal.

After he lamented for a moment, Wang Yangming continued to speak, “The federation has another purpose for holding the Grand Mecha Tournament. It is to rank the various mecha academies.”

“For the academies, the rankings are related to how much resources the federation will allocate to the academies. The higher the ranking, the more resources will be given.”

At that moment, a student suddenly said, “Teacher Wang, what is the ranking of our academy then?”

At that moment, many curious students began to jeer as they awaited the answer.

“Although our academy isn’t considered the strongest, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to get into the top ten.”

“Only in the top ten? Probably in the top five?”

Hearing everyone’s jeers, even Qin Yue, who stood at the side, could not help but look at Wang Yangming curiously.

However, what came next was an answer that shocked everyone.

Wang Yangming sighed slightly.

“It’s not as good as you think. Our Academy has only been ranked 19th for several years consecutively.”

Everyone was stunned and revealed an incredulous expression when they heard that.

Even Qin Yue could not help but feel a little surprised. He did not expect that their academy’s ranking would be so low.

In that case, how strong would the top ten academies be?

Wang Yangming said again, “Qin Yue, don’t be discouraged. Your squad’s strength is not bad. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to push our academy’s ranking up by seven or eight places. There’s still a month before the competition so focus on training during this month. When our ranking improves, the academy will also reward you accordingly.”

The moment Wang Yangming finished, a system notification sounded in Qin Yue’s mind.

[Ding! Obtain first place in the mecha tournament.]

[Reward: ? ? ? ?]
