Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Twenty days had passed quickly and quietly.

During those twenty days in the Mecha Academy, Qin Yue, Ling Ru, Wang Jun, Tang Lin, and Li Yanyan had already become very good friends.

At that moment, in a corner of the Mecha Academy’s library.

Qin Yue was holding a simple and heavy book in her hands, studying it with great interest.

On the other side of Qin Yue’s desk, Ling Ru was holding her chin with both hands that supported her cheeks. She was looking at Qin Yue who was immersed in the book as if nothing had happened.

“Qin Yue, you are so talented. Haven’t you read these books when you were young?” Ling Ru asked with a curious look on her face.

“Do you think that I am a rich kid like you? If you want to know, you can do it anytime!”

Qin Yue shrugged and complained helplessly.

“OH.” Ling Ru playfully stuck out her tongue and continued.

“Qin Yue, it’s almost time for class. Let’s hurry up and leave!”

“Otherwise, if we’re late later and Old Man Wang gets angry, we’ll be in trouble…”

Ling Ru patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

Hearing Ling Ru mention Wang Yangming, Qin Yue body subconsciously shook.

“Let’s go!”

Qin Yue clapped his hands, closed the book, and walked back into the classroom.

Not long after, Wang Yangming also walked into the classroom. He walked straight up to the podium and put down the book in his hands. As usual, he opened his mouth and said,

“Students, this time, we won’t talk about the contents of the book. Instead, I’ll be bringing you to check out the mecha maintenance room.”

Future Mecha pilots who controlled mecha going to the Mecha Maintenance Room for a tour?

As soon as Wang Yangming finished his sentence, the students’ faces were filled with confusion.

After all, they were all mecha pilots. It was fine if they revisited the battles of high-level mecha operators, but what was the point of visiting a mecha maintenance room?

Immediately, a student raised his hand and stood up.

“Teacher Wang, we’re mecha masters and we’re not good at maintenance. Is there a need for this visit?”

After one person voiced his thoughts. The others followed suit.

“That’s right, teacher. Let’s learn how to operate a mecha instead.”

“With this time, why don’t we cultivate our Mental Strength?”

Wang Yangming frowned slightly. He was very dissatisfied with their reactions. His deep eyes swept them over coldly.

“HMM? Do you have any objections to my arrangements?”

“No… I’m joking, teacher. We’ll follow your arrangements.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’m only joking, teacher.”

When everyone saw Wang Yangming’s expression, only then did they realize that it was non negotiable.

He was informing them, not asking for their opinions.

Just like that, most of the unwilling people were led by Wang Yangming to the mecha maintenance room.

The mecha maintenance room was very large, about the size of a dozen football fields.

When Qin Yue entered, he saw a dazzling array of mecha.

There were several people beside each mecha. They either held blueprints in their hands as they discussed how to repair the mecha, or operated the exoskeleton armor on their bodies to dismantle the tall mecha in front of them.

Right at that moment, Wang Yangming, who was walking at the front, suddenly slowed down and said with a look of enlightenment.

“Among you, there are many people who look down on the mecha repair profession, but I want to tell you that the importance of the mecha repair profession is no less than those of you who are piloting mecha in battle!”

Wang Yangming’s tone was heavy, and he did not have the slightest intention of joking.

“Some powerful mecha repair practitioners can participate in the research and development of mecha. Without them, are you still able to pilot mecha?”

“Perhaps when you are fighting against an enemy faction or a foreign race, you can all be footsoldiers who carry guns and fight instead. You can be cannon fodder.”

“Those looking down on the mecha repair profession, in my opinion, are all extremely stupid people!”

When Qin Yue heard this, he subconsciously sighed.

“Mecha maintenance, this isn’t just a skill. Perhaps it’s more like an art, a supreme art.”

In Qin Yue’s mind’s memories, he had obtained a clear understanding of Godly Mecha Maintenance.

He was an outstanding mecha maintenance technician when he was building and maintaining a mecha.

He could bestow a mecha’s soul, allowing the mecha to burst forth with battle prowess that far surpassed that of mecha of the same level!

Although Qin Yue’s voice was not loud, Wang Yangming, who had strong Mental Strength, just happened to hear Qin Yue’s evaluation.

“Pa! Pa! Pa!”

“Student Qin Yue is right. I’ve heard this sentence from a friend of mine who is a mecha mechanic.”

Wang Yangming’s expression was surprised. He did not expect that not only was Qin Yue talented, but his overall awareness of mecha was also so high.

“This friend of mine is a very outstanding mecha operator. He has participated in countless research and top-secret modifications.”

“And he happens to be the manager of this mecha maintenance room. I’ll bring you guys there to broaden your horizons.”

As he said this, Wang Yangming lead those 30 plus cadets on and walked straight towards the where the friend he mentioned worked.

…

“Operating system, weapon system, core… All of these have been investigated and no problems have been found. Then why can’t the mecha be activated?”

“…”

A 60-year-old man in a black suit with long hair furrowed his brows as he carefully read the report in his hands. Behind him was a 35-meter-tall black-and-gold Guardian mecha.

“This… mentor, we are very sure that there are no problems in these places.”

In front of the old man in the black suit were three young men. Besides their heads, the rest of them were covered up by exoskeleton armor to facilitate the maintenance of heavy and huge mecha.

Just as the old man frowned while lost in his thoughts, Wang Yangming’s voice suddenly entered his ears.

That’s right, this old man in a black suit was the mecha mechanic friend that Wang Yangming was talking about, Tang Tian

“Old Tang, What’s wrong? Can’t you even fix a Guardian mecha?”

Facing his old friend, Wang Yangming was no longer as serious as before. He smiled as he walked up and joked at the same time.

At that moment, Wang Yangming was a completely different person compared to his usually serious image.

“Old Man Wang, you’re always laughing at me. What do you want from me? Hurry up and say it. I don’t have time to chat with you!”

Tang Tian waved his hand unceremoniously and chased Wang Yangming away.

“You… forget it. I can’t be bothered to scold you. You have a stubborn temper!”

“My latest batch of students are all proud and arrogant. I was just bringing them here to broaden their horizons.”

Wang Yangming seemed to have gotten used to Tang Tian’s way of speaking and did not take it to heart.

“Proud and arrogant?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Tian immediately sneered disdainfully.

“On the battlefield, the environment of battle is complicated and changeable.”

“And regardless of which part of the mecha you are piloting, there will always be a day when it will be damaged, or even when the mecha’s system is facing paralysis.”

“And it is impossible for the mechanics to follow you into battle. Since all of you are geniuses, then tell me, what should you do in an emergency at this time, how will you deal with the damaged mecha?”

“Did you learn how to deal with an emergency, or did you learn how to wait for death?”

Once these words were said, all of the students, except for Qin Yue, lowered their heads and fell silent.

At that moment, they were like children who had made a mistake and waited to be punished.

As for Qin Yue, ever since he heard Tang Tian mention the problem of the mecha’s malfunction, he had been thinking about the problem of that Guardian Mecha according to Tang Tian’s words in his mind..
