At 8:30, the competition kicked off.

The heavy and passionate drum beat sounded intensively, and the countdown in red letters on the projection screen became the only image in the center of the field.

The host stood on the air podium and said in an excited voice: "Leaders, dear students, and enthusiastic soldiers, the annual mecha competition has finally kicked off!" In addition to the 186 participants from our school, 186 outstanding students from our sister school, the Imperial Mecha Academy, participated in this competition! Now, let's welcome them with the warmest applause! ”

Applause rang out.

Li Qi clapped her hands with everyone, probably because she had been invisibly influenced before, she always felt that the Imperial Mecha Academy was a flood beast, and she didn't feel that it was a joyful thing to compete with the students of the Imperial Mecha Academy on the same stage at all.

The host waited for the enthusiastic applause to end, and then said: "Now, let's look at the rules of the preliminary round of this competition. ”

The projection screen was switched, and the first line was the words "The rules of this mecha competition are as follows".

"Contestants work in pairs; Each match is limited to 30 minutes, and the winner enters the semi-finals; If the winner is not decided within 30 minutes, it will enter the five-minute overtime, and if the winner is still not decided in overtime, both sides will be eliminated from the game. ”

"The competition is based on the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness, and it is strictly forbidden to intentionally hurt people, and violators will be immediately disqualified, and reported to the Mecha Warrior Registration Office as appropriate, and will be punished with demerits or cancellation of Mecha Warrior qualifications."

Speaking of this, the host paused and asked, "If you have any questions about the rules of the competition, please raise your hand immediately." ”

There was silence.

The host continued: "Since everyone has no doubts, the competition is now officially open! The first group of contestants, Su Rushi, a second-year student from the Mecha Combat Department of the First Military Academy of the Empire, and Wang Hua, a second-year student from the Mecha Combat Department of the Imperial Mecha Academy, are invited! ”

As soon as the words fell, a full-body photo of Su Rushi and Wang Hua immediately appeared on the huge projection screen, as well as a simple description of campus life.

Li Qi took a look at it and felt that the two of them were relatively close in appearance, as well as awards and honorary titles, and couldn't help but wonder, is the school grouped according to this?

The host then introduced: "Su Rushi, an intermediate mecha warrior of the First Military Academy of the Empire, has his usual C-level mecha at hand, mecha attack level C, defense level B. Wang Hua, an intermediate mecha warrior of the Imperial Mecha Academy, the silver-gray mecha on his right hand is the C-level mecha that Wang Hua's contestants are accustomed to, with a mecha attack level of B and a defense level of C. ”

After the host's introduction, the drum beat again, and the two contestants stood in the center of the arena from the left and right.

After Su Rushi and Wang Hua saluted the audience, they immediately entered their respective mechas, but neither of them took the lead in attacking.

However, after a short break, Wang Hua controlled the mecha to launch an active attack, relying on the attack power advantage of his C-level mecha, and sent a series of particle bombardments at Su Rushi.

Su Ru reacted shrewdly, and immediately set up a defensive shield, dodging while waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity to counterattack.

Li Qi was shocked to see it, and when he saw the almost one-sided battle situation on the arena, he suddenly remembered a very important question: "I am not a mecha warrior, I don't have the qualification to drive a mecha, and I don't have a mecha, how can I compare with others when the time comes?" ”

After training for so long, she has been occupying the L-0000 of Baili Yu, and she has never considered that she has no mecha, of course, No. 7 cannot be counted.

No. 7, who was tidying up the shelves in store No. 7, shook his mechanical head, and oops, it seems that he forgot something important!

The smile on the corner of Zhang Cheng's mouth froze, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Or, I'll lend you the mecha?" ”

In fact, a mecha fabricator, as long as he has a mecha fabricator level qualification certificate, also has the qualification to drive a mecha, and is not limited by the level of a mecha warrior. For example, an intermediate mecha warrior can only fly a mecha of grade C and below, but an intermediate mecha maker can fly any level of mecha, as long as you have that ability!

However, seeing that Li Qi didn't know this, Zhang Cheng smiled and wanted to explain, at this time, Baili Yu turned his head and said softly: "Mecha makers don't have to use mecha in the game, physical fitness, agile reaction speed, as well as mecha manufacturing level, as well as the use of mental power and abilities, these are the advantages of mecha makers, the key is whether you can make full use of these advantages." ”

With endless reassurance in her deep voice, Li Qi's impetuous heart gradually fell silent, and she held her chin with her hands and squinted thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Baili Yu and the others did not bother and continued to watch the game.

The first group of competitions, in just five minutes, ended with Wang Hua of the Imperial Mecha Academy winning.

The second group of matches began immediately after, then the third group, and then the fourth group......

The situation was similar in other arenas, with the longest time not exceeding 20 minutes.

When she arrived at the twelfth group, half of the morning competition had passed, and Li Qi came back to her senses slowly, her eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking, the whole person was full of energy, almost drowning the people around her.

In the audience, they looked at her from front to back, left and right, and felt strange.

"SSS, what's going on?"

"Look at her rosy cheeks and big eyes, she seems to be extra energetic and confident!"

“…… I always feel that this bet is the right place! ”

"I don't know if it's an illusion, how can I have a kind of spring blossoms and smell the aroma of grass?"

"Me too, I feel warm all over my body, very comfortable, and even the noisy noise and shouting around here have become beautiful."

"Mmmm, I asked about the breath of wood, it's very comfortable......"

"Is it good that the water is gentle? It's like a rough sea, immense! In short, it's a water-based ability, and you can't go wrong! ”

"Who are they, using their abilities indiscriminately?"

“……”

"......" Li Qi looked at his boiled finger, and then at the little daisy in his palm, and the tips of his ears burned suddenly.

She seems to be in trouble!

"It's okay," her hand was held, Li Qi was startled, and looked at Baili Yu in a daze, seeing his slender and well-defined fingers, covering his fingers little by little, and immediately withdrew his ability.

"The next one is the summer solstice," Baili Yu said.

Li Qi was instantly distracted, and looked at the arena with a bright look.

Zhang Cheng, who witnessed everything: "......"

Bai Liqing turned her head from the front row and asked, "What are you doing?" Summer is on the field, and I haven't heard you cheering. ”

Li Qi was super cooperative: "Come on!" ”

Bai Liqing opened her mouth: "......" feels very uncomfortable, what's going on?

Zhang Cheng laughed, shook his head and sighed.

Xia Zhi's opponent is from the Imperial Mecha Academy, the same high-level mecha warrior, with his A-class mecha at hand, a jet-black medium-sized humanoid mecha, flashing with metallic luster, majestic and domineering.

Similarly, Xia Zhi also released his own mecha, and the silver-gray mecha looked a little low-key, but no one dared to ignore its existence.

At this time, on the high-altitude platform, the host introduced in his enthusiastic voice: "Now, it is the thirteenth group of finals on the A arena. The contestant on the left-hand side - Zhou Wu, from the third year of the Imperial Mecha Academy, has been certified as a senior mecha warrior at the end of last year, and his mecha partner won the second place in the 'Zijin Cup' competition held by the Imperial Capital Mecha Warrior Association at the beginning of this year. Let's give him a round of applause! ”

The host grasped the atmosphere in the venue very well, and when the applause was over, he continued: "The contestant on the right - Xia Zhi, he is from the First Military Academy of the Empire, he has shown his mecha buddy, let's take a look...... Oh my! It turned out to be SSS's L-series mecha - L-0004! ”

There was a moment of silence in the arena, followed by chanting.

"Didn't you say that only three units were on the market? So where did this L-0004 come from? ”

"Child, you are so naïve! Three units were listed a month ago, but it doesn't mean that a month later, it will still be these three, right? But Xia Zhi was really lucky, and he actually grabbed SSS's L-series mecha! ”

"It's envy, jealousy, hatred!"

"I feel the same way!"

"Alas! Who called Renjia and SSS roommates, or the same squad? The SSS is also their squad's exclusive mecha builder, what's wrong with the priority members? ”

"Yes, yes, I'm just stuffed!"

"Heart congestion!"

“……”

There was a lot of noise in the audience, and the host continued to add cores and firewood: "Let's take a look at the mecha performance of the two contestants." Zhou Wu's mecha has a comprehensive level of A, and its attack and defense performance are A and S respectively, which is from the hand of Master Ye Wei, a very dazzling mecha! ”

After a pause, the host continued: "The L series mecha is from SSS, and everyone knows that her mecha has a characteristic, which is mental defense!" This is the first time that Daystar has appeared since ancient times, and the master who used mental power defense in batches for mechas! So, L-0004, how does it perform? ”

Sure enough, the audience was no longer noisy, and everyone held their breath.

Mobilizing enough atmosphere, the host exclaimed: "L-0004!" Sum Level A, Attack A, Defense S! As everyone thinks, it has S-level mental defense, but it's ......"

"But what? Can you not be verbose! ”

"That's right, will you be a host!"

"If you don't preside, you will be replaced, it's real enough, you stop talking, have you ever thought about my heart? How do I feel? ”

“……”

Li Qi shrunk her shoulders, everyone's combat effectiveness is too strong, she should try her best to make herself have no sense of existence!

The host didn't care about the dissatisfaction and complaints of the students, and said with a smile: "Alas, young people, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Seeing that it was about to cause public anger again, she hurriedly said, "However, L-0004 is not a giant humanoid mecha frame, but a transformer intelligent mecha, and its second form is a tyrannosaurus!" ”

"Holy! That's amazing, isn't it? Tyrannosaurus, not only did you step on a mountain with one foot, but I heard that its tail was even more powerful! ”

"True jealousy is dead! Why SSS isn't my roommate! ”

"I'm so envious! It seems that the winners and losers of this group of games have been divided! ”

"It seems like yes, oh, mental power ......"

Suddenly, an angry voice drowned out everyone's discussions: "This is not fair! ”

Everyone turned their heads to look.
