cadet

It was necessary to gather for training at nine o'clock in the morning, and Caesar directly drove Baiyu and took Lin Yuan back to the hotel as quickly as possible.

In Bai Yu's cockpit, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking, "Bai Yu, you're actually an S-class mecha,"

Bai Yu, who turned into a feather shape, made a cheerful twisting movement in front of Lin Yuan, and said excitedly, "Are you surprised, I am indeed an S-level mecha, let me tell you, I have installed With the most advanced firepower system in the entire empire, I can directly blast a hotel into a big hole,"

Hearing Bai Yu bragging there, Caesar felt very helpless.As Bai Yu's master, Caesar sometimes really wants to take this guy to the Mecha Association to brainwash him.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan seemed to have a good chat with it, and said with a smile: "Really that powerful? When Caesar lent you to me to practice the game, the console I saw was C-level, which is completely different from now. Same."

Lin Yuan looked curiously at the neural circuit with white light floating in the air. The silky thin thread was gently wrapped around Caesar's fingers, and connected to Caesar's brain through the peripheral nerves of the fingers. Caesar did not need to manually touch it at all. Press the button, and Bai Yu will execute the idea in his head immediately, which is equivalent to "integration of man and machine".

Bai Yu said excitedly: "Yes! At that time, the master asked me to become a C-level mecha for you to practice, so I forged a C-level console for you! S-level mechas can transform, do you want to see it? Shall I show you?"

Lin Yuan asked with interest: "What can you become?"

Bai Yu said proudly: "It can change into many shapes, including flying mechs. My own shape is a flying bird, which can be transformed into a dragon, butterfly, phoenix, etc. Of course, I can also transform into a human form when I land. , This is the most basic skill! When necessary, I can temporarily dismantle the weapon on my body for the master to use, and let the master hold it and chop people directly!"

Once Bai Yu's chattering mode is turned on, she can't stop!

Caesar finally couldn't take it anymore, and ordered: "Bai Yu, hurry up to the hotel, you're going to be late."

"...Oh!" Bai Yu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​discussing the transformation plan with Lin Yuan in detail, and flew towards the hotel at a faster speed.

Lin Yuan was standing in the cab, watching the scenery outside through the porthole, Caesar walked to Lin Yuan's side and whispered, "If you like Bai Yu, I can lend it to you in the future."

Lin Yuan turned around, "Really?"

"Of course, Bai Yu seems to like you very much." Nishizawa smiled, "However, you will have your own mecha soon, and I guess you will look down on Bai Yu then."

Lin Yuan wondered, "My own mecha?"

Caesar nodded and said, "Did you forget? In this national competition, if our school team can win the top three, all players can get a C-level mecha... There will be a surprise then."

Lin Yuan thought of this reward, and when he heard Caesar's words, he immediately became more looking forward to it.

※※※※※

It was [-]:[-] in the morning when the two returned to the hotel together. Instructor Knox and the other eight contestants from the St. Romia Military Academy had already gathered at the entrance of the hotel and waited.

Lin Yuan has been marked by Caesar, and he will have Caesar's aura on his body. Fortunately, the medicine given by the eldest prince has covered up this aura. Lin Yuan's current pheromone smell is still Beta, and the students didn't even say anything to him. Caesar had no doubts.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but gently touched the back of his neck.

The scallop mark on the back of the neck is very clear, and when you touch the mark, you will even feel a feeling of weakness all over your body. It is inevitable that someone will find out. Caesar specially found a high-necked dress for him today to cover it, probably In the future, I will always wear this kind of high-necked clothes in school.

But it doesn't matter, compared to being able to continue to go to school as a Beta, "being marked on the back of the neck" is just a trivial matter, Lin Yuan doesn't mind it.

A group of people, led by Knox, came to the training ground for the mech competition.

Because the rules of the national competition are relatively complicated, the Mecha Association uniformly arranged for all the teams to go to the arena for training three days before the competition to familiarize themselves with the rules.

The schedule of the national competition lasts for three days, divided into obstacle races, pressure races, tactical competitions and the final team duel. In each round, 5 players are sent to the field, and one person can participate in a maximum of three rounds. 10 contestants can be freely combined.

Because the points of each game are different, the leading coach must make a choice when there is not enough talent.

However, Knox is not worried about this at all. The top ten students of St. Romia Military Academy are among the best players among their peers in the entire empire. They are going for the championship and will not give up any game !

Knox divided the players into groups according to the characteristics of each player and the familiar types of mechs.

Lin Yuan and Caesar are the champions and runners-up of the intramural competition. As seed players, they have to play in three rounds. Lin Yuan needs to participate in pressure competitions, tactical competitions and team duels, and Caesar needs to participate in obstacle competitions, tactical competitions and team duels .

Under the command of Knox, the training started in full swing.

※※※※※

Time flies, and on the morning of March 3, the National Mecha Competition finally opened.

The president of the Mecha Association, Patrick, personally delivered a speech at the opening ceremony, and also displayed the rewards for the top three places. All the players of the top three representative teams and the players from other schools who performed well in the competition, They will all get this mecha worth more than 50 crystal coins, and directly get a C-level mecha driving qualification certificate without taking the exam!

After the president showed the prizes, the scene immediately burst into warm cheers...

On the VIP stand.

The man in the white military uniform suddenly smiled and said, "This year's competition looks really spectacular. The number of participating schools has doubled compared to last year, right?"

The adjutant next to him immediately said respectfully: "Yes, General! According to statistics, there are a total of 98 teams participating in the national finals this year, compared to 45 last year! Almost double the number!"

The man touched his chin lightly, "Well, you look here carefully, find a few good seedlings, write down the number and tell me." After that, he turned and walked towards the VIP lounge, "I'm going to drink some water first .”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw his general, as if taking a leisurely walk in the park, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his military uniform, and walking slowly towards the lounge. The four gold stars on the white military uniform shone brightly under the light.

- Udyr Sharman.

——Head of the Rose Legion, one of the five four-star generals of the empire.

The Rose Legion is a force belonging to the Shaman family. The logo on the warship is a blooming white rose, and the military uniform of the entire legion is also uniform white.The ancestors of the Sharman family liked to follow the literary style the most, and flowers were always used for the name of the legion.Rose looks beautiful, but it is full of danger. This is the meaning proposed by the ancestor of the Sharman family when he named the legion.

As the heir of the Sharman family, Udyr naturally inherited this elegant and literary style. As a general, his research on flowers, plants and trees can almost write a book. He has built a special greenhouse at home and cultivated it with organic soil. All kinds of precious flowers really make the subordinates very ashamed.

Udyr is slender and handsome, with long blond hair and sky-blue eyes, so he is very conspicuous in the crowd.As an Alpha, he has strange long hair and braids behind his head, pretending to be an artist, and he has no desire for Omega at all. All the marriage partners selected by the Omega Association were rejected by him on the grounds of "dislike". This kind of reason made the president of the Omega Association very angry but also very helpless!

Maybe it's because of the frigidity in the Omega pheromone resistance class?Anyway, he is still a bachelor until now, ranking first in the empire's golden bachelor list.

The VIP stands and the VIP lounge are all high-level members of the Mecha Association and important generals of the military department. They are very familiar with Udyr. He walked through the hall majestically like a walk, and everyone is not surprised.

Some gossip people even secretly commented: "It's this bachelor again..."

As if he heard it, Udyr turned around and smiled at the other party in a friendly manner.

The man immediately shut his mouth in fright.

General Udyr looks gentle like a gentleman, but when he is ruthless, it makes people desperate for life!

Udyr walked into the lounge and was surprised to see a familiar face.

The tall man still had no expression on his face. He was wearing a neat black military uniform. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. His deep eyes were like the surface of a frozen lake. , The harasser died".

Udyr walked forward without fear of death, and said with a smile: "Marshal, are you free to come here to watch the game?"

Rosen nodded, gave a faint "hmm", then bypassed Udyr, and walked directly towards the VIP stand.

Udyr looked back at Rosen's tall and proud back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then turned to pour water.

※※※※※

When Rosen arrived at the stands, the game had already started.

San Romia Military Academy is just about to make an appearance.

The obstacle race system of the first stage is very simple. Five players from the participating teams enter the arena and try to operate the mechs to overcome all the obstacles and reach the finish line. The time spent by the five players is averaged and ranked according to the length of time. For the school's ranking, there is a special requirement for the obstacle course—air combat mechs are prohibited.

Knox directly dispatched all wolf-type land combat mechs.

The five-member team composed of Nishizawa, Leo and others was like a neat pack of wolves. Together, the five drove the wolf-shaped mecha over many obstacles, and their precise jumps caused bursts of applause from the audience. He even jumped up neatly and directly jumped over the ten-meter-high wall!

This is the strength of St. Romia Military Academy!

In just 3 minutes, five people completed the entire obstacle course, which made the school players who took 6 minutes to pass all the obstacles just now admired!

At the same time, a clear voice came from the arena broadcast: "Congratulations to the Saint Romia Military Academy team for breaking the historical record in the obstacle course. The new record is 3 minutes and 05 seconds!"

There was warm applause at the scene!

When Caesar came down from the field, Lin Yuan immediately gave him a thumbs up: "You were so handsome just now!"

Caesar was in such a good mood after being praised, he couldn't help smiling, and patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder lightly: "Come on in the next round."

Lin Yuan nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass the school!"

Because each player can participate in a maximum of three rounds, in order to save Caesar for the tactical match on the second day and the team duel on the third day, Knox let him rest temporarily in the pressure match.

Lin Yuan played with four other teammates.

In the pressure match of the second round, 5 players face the siege of a large number of mechas together. They must find a way to kill the mechas to ensure the survival of their teammates. The enemy mechas are naturally the unmanned attacking type specially arranged by the Mecha Association. Mechas, the number of attacking mechas will increase, and the players who are attacked to the point will be eliminated immediately until the group of five is wiped out.

The longer you resist an attack, the higher your team's rank will be.

At the beginning of the game, the mechas operated by five people formed a large circular formation back to back to meet the siege of the mechas.

At the beginning, only one or two mechas came forward to attack, and they were directly KO'd by their teammates.

Gradually, more and more mechas are attacking, not to mention each person has to fight one, and sometimes even a person is facing two or more mechas at the same time!

Lin Yuan calmly operated his humanoid mecha, shuttled among his own camps, and unceremoniously slashed and killed those unmanned mechas!

Contestant No. 7 of the Saint Romia Military Academy team, a red humanoid mech, runs on the field like a vigorous warrior!He can not only cope with the defense of his own position, but also take care of the teammates around him!

At that time, that teammate happened to have his back to the attacking mecha that appeared behind him. Seeing that the blade was about to hit the back of the mecha's neck, at that moment, Lin Yuan who was not far away suddenly stretched out his arm and directly inserted it across to block it. The opponent's attack jumped up at the same time, and he KO'd the opponent with a knife!

——Simply handsome!

The cheers and applause erupted from the auditorium almost toppled the roof of the entire arena!

Five contestants from the Saint Romia Military Academy were besieged by a group of drones, resisting waves of attacks, and resisted for a full 5 minutes!In the end, when more than 10 attack mechs appeared at the same time, everyone was finally wiped out helplessly.

Another clear voice came from the arena radio: "Congratulations to the Saint Romia Military Academy team for breaking the historical record in the anti-stress stage. The new record is 10 minutes and 33 seconds!"

Breaking the record in two consecutive sessions, this is the strength of the best school in the empire-Saint Romia Military Academy!

Lin Yuan came down from the arena and went to the rest area where the school is located. As soon as he walked out of the cockpit of the mecha, Caesar immediately stepped forward with a smile, stretched out his arms, and gave him a big hug.

"..." Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Caesar rested his chin on his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Well done, Xiao Yuan, you are really amazing..."

His voice sounded a little excited.

Lin Yuan was embarrassed by the praise, scratched his head and said, "Fortunately, I didn't embarrass the school."

It was a very common behavior for teammates to hug each other to celebrate the victory, but the strange thing is... the moment Caesar suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly, Lin Yuan's heartbeat seemed to stop for two seconds. Second.

The heartbeat suddenly went out of control... probably because of... being too surprised...?

Lin Yuan thought vaguely, smiled and hugged Caesar back, then turned and walked towards the other teammates.

Seeing Caesar embracing Lin Yuan, the senior teammates rushed over to hug Lin Yuan as encouragement to the first-year student's outstanding performance.

Caesar: "..."

The scene of his own Omega being hugged by other students is simply unbearable for Nishizawa!

Even if the person holding him is Beta!

Seeing Lin Yuan being hugged and praised by a Beta senior, Nishizawa immediately stepped forward. After the senior let go of Lin Yuan, he immediately put his arms around Lin Yuan's shoulders and forcibly took his Omega into the lounge .

Lin Yuan was very puzzled: "Caesar? Why?"

Caesar pretended to be calm and said, "Are you thirsty? Come and drink some water."

Before Lin Yuan could say that I wasn't thirsty, Caesar stuffed a bottle of water into Lin Yuan's hand.

※※※※※

In the stands, there was a rare smile on Rosen's usually cold face.

The No. 7 human-shaped mecha, which was as lively as a dragon and a tiger, was driven by Lin Yuan, right?Many of his movements were learned from the electronic notebook he gave him, but he did not expect to be able to do it well after learning it.

In just one month, this child's level has improved so much?

The smart and hard-working little guy has made rapid progress, which really makes people feel very gratified.

Seeing the contestants exit one by one, Rosen smiled, and then turned and left the stands.

When he walked to the gate of the stands, he suddenly met Udyr.

Udyr smiled and said, "Marshal, don't you want to watch for a while? The Saint Romia team played very well just now."

Rosen said lightly: "Of course, they will definitely win the championship."

After Rosen left, Udyr narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice to the adjutant beside him, "I want their detailed information on the No. 1 and No. 7 players in Saint Romia."

"Yes! General! I'll get it now."

The entry materials of all the finalists are kept in the hands of the Mecha Association. The adjutant quickly returned with a detailed list. Udyr looked at the two names Caesar and Lin Yuan in the list and said with a smile: "The No. 1 contestant is indeed the fourth prince. As for the No. 7 guy named Lin Yuan..." Udi paused, "It's very interesting."

Udyr handed the list back to the adjutant, and said: "After the game, contact Lin Yuan to see if he is interested in joining the Rose Army. This is a good seed."

The adjutant immediately said respectfully: "Yes, General!"

※※※※※

The first day of the competition ended quickly. In the second day of the tactical competition, all participating teams will be sent to an uninhabited planet near Star Sfield to compete. In the end, the team that stands out from the melee and reaches the finish line wins.

That night, Knox deliberately called the five contestants who participated in the tactical competition to the room and explained a few words carefully.

In the tactical competition, they will adopt the mode of three people covering and two people breaking out. Lin Yuan and Caesar are responsible for breaking out, and the other three will clear the stumbling blocks on the road. The two people who break out must drive flying mechs.

Nishizawa is an all-around player, so it is natural and reasonable to be arranged like this.Although Lin Yuan has always liked to operate humanoid mechas, he has already mastered flying mechas. It's just that he was a little nervous when he was assigned such a difficult task.

After returning home at night, Lin Yuan couldn't fall asleep. While silently reciting the operation instructions of the flying mecha, he simulated how to avoid being chased and besieged... Caesar noticed that the guy on the bed next to him was tossing and turning, and finally couldn't help it. He turned on the bedside light.

As expected, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, met Caesar's gaze, and said with some embarrassment, "Did it wake you up?"

"No, I didn't sleep either." Caesar looked at him and said, "Are you too excited to fall asleep?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "Well, a little bit."

Caesar thought for a while and said, "Bai Yu, give Xiao Yuan a sleeping pill." Then he looked at Lin Yuan and said, "There is a game tomorrow morning, you need to rest well. Don't think too much, I will cover you in tomorrow's game."

Lin Yuan hesitated, "What should I do if I can't wake up after taking sleeping pills?"

Caesar smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will wake you up."

Only then did Lin Yuan feel relieved, took a short-acting sleeping pill, and soon fell asleep.

As Rosen expected, in the next day's tactical match, the San Romia Military Academy's representative team still played at the top level of the empire!The three team members cleared the obstacles on the ground, and Lin Yuan and Caesar directly used the dual flying mechs to break through the encirclement!

In the scuffle of multiple schools, Lin Yuan and Caesar joined forces to take care of each other, cover each other, avoided the siege with precise operations, and directly rushed to the finish line like a rainbow!

※※※※※

After a three-day decisive battle, the St. Romia Military Academy team won the championship trophy again.

The players from other schools performed well.Among them, many players from remote planets were selected as outstanding players in this competition because of their outstanding personal abilities, and the president of the Mecha Association personally awarded the C-level mecha prizes.

It wasn't until the moment he stood on the podium that Lin Yuan finally had the realization that "I seem to have become better".

While feeling happy, I couldn't help but think of the senior who had mentored me.

After applying for the mecha driver's license and mecha ownership certificate at the Mecha Association in the afternoon, and returning to the hotel with the prizes, Lin Yuan urged Caesar to say, "Casaz, didn't the senior say he would invite us to dinner after the competition?" What date did you make an appointment with him? How about I treat you this time, you have helped me so much, so I should treat you!"

Seeing his expectant look, I don't know what his expression will be when he sees the marshal?

Caesar smiled and said, "I made an appointment with him tomorrow night, why don't you call out your mecha first?"

"By the way, I haven't seen it yet..." Lin Yuan then remembered the prize. The mech space button he got was an exquisite necklace, the silver chain and red crystal pendant looked very beautiful.Lin Yuan held the red pendant in his palm and said excitedly, "Hello, I am your master Lin Yuan, can you come out and talk to me?"

The pendant suddenly flickered, and then, a red mech more than two meters high appeared in the room.

The dark red metal on the mech glowed under the light, the lines of the body were smooth and natural, and the red indicator lights on the eyes lit up, indicating that the system had been activated.

Only then did the mech make a soft and warm voice: "Master, hello."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, "This voice seems familiar?"

The mech said softly: "Yes, master, we met once before, I am Suzaku."

Lin Yuan: "..."

Suzaku continued to say calmly, "Lin Yuan, I am willing to recognize you as my master, and from now on, I will only be loyal to you."

Suzaku stretched out one of his hands and placed it in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was immediately flattered!

Isn't the prize for this competition a C-rank mech?

If I remember correctly, Suzaku is S rank! ?And didn't Suzaku crash? !

Seeing Lin Yuan's shocked face, Caesar explained with a smile: "Actually, Suzaku didn't crash, and was rescued by Bai Yu and me. It was temporarily converted into a C-level, and its intelligence center is still an S-level. It wants to recognize you. As the master, because your mental threshold exceeds Suzaku's set value, the match between you and its spiritual fusion reached 100%."

Lin Yuan: "..."

Can't believe it at all.

It's as if I got a prize and thought it was just a piece of candy, only to find out at the end of the day that it was a big cake that I couldn't finish eating in three days...

Lin Yuan was shocked and said: "Then...how did Suzaku become the prize this time?"

Caesar said: "I secretly swapped your prize with Suzaku. Only in this way will the Mecha Association not suspect it."

Lin Yuan's mood is very complicated and very excited. Looking at the red mecha in front of him, the color and shape of the mecha, and even the intelligent character, are all his favorite types...

It's actually an S-level intelligence!I never dreamed that one day I could own an S-level mecha...

However, it already had an owner before, and the owner of the S-class mecha must be a very powerful person. Can I really own it?

Lin Yuan said embarrassedly: "Suzaku, although I like you very much, I don't seem to be qualified to be your master, am I?"

Suzaku said softly, "No, you are excellent. I fully recognize your ability, master."

As it spoke, it gently stretched out its hand in Lin Yuan's direction.

Lin Yuan immediately stretched out his hand happily, put it in the huge palm of the mecha, and made an agreement with the mecha.

Very good!From now on, Suzaku will be his own!

Lin Yuan gently touched Suzaku's hand, and said with a smile, "Suzaku, don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future!"

Suzaku: "..."

Suzaku was suddenly moved by the boy's bright smile and frank eyes.

Although it was to use him to find General Ling Yu, Suzaku recognized the little master's ability sincerely.

Suzaku said softly, "Thank you, master."

Lin Yuan and Suzaku formally confirmed the subordination relationship between the master and the mecha.

After holding back for a long time, Bai Yu finally couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Senior Suzaku! Long time no see! It's great that you finally found a new owner... By the way, I can see you every day from now on, right?! "

Suzaku: "..."

Encountering this chatter again, Suzaku suddenly wanted to turn off the phone.
