306 Junior Brother’s Self-Doubt (1)

Veronica walked in front of the Tiger Cannon Mecha. A ray of light flashed across the chest of the Tiger Cannon Mecha and shone on Veronica.

Suddenly, Veronica’s figure disappeared, and in the next second, she had already entered the mecha cockpit.

She piloted the mecha and began to run at a constant speed on the ground. The mecha’s running posture was coordinated, and its steps were steady. The AI judge immediately gave a full score of 10 points.

Then, the mecha began to sprint. After its speed was so fast that it was a little blurry, the mecha spread its legs and began to slide. The Tiger Cannon on its arm was also raised.

Although she had done the sliding step to block the gun, the angle of the gun was not straight enough, and the sliding step posture was also very forced. The AI judge only gave her 6 points.

As for the third maneuver, Veronica only managed to fly the Tiger Cannon Mecha two meters above the ground. She was unable to continue and only got two points in the end.

Her total score was 18 points. This was already a very high score because other than Yan Yinfei and Scarlet, everyone else in the training class was a Trainee Mecha Master.

Her brain’s willpower was limited, and her piloting skills weren’t proficient either. She had only just begun to operate the mecha.

Furthermore, during the assessment, the Tiger Cannon Mecha turned off its AI support system.

The students could only rely on their willpower to control the huge mecha. The difficulty index was extremely high.

As time passed, the students in the class appeared one by one. Only Yan Yinfei and Scarlet completed three movements perfectly and got full marks.

The rest of the students did not score more than 20 points.

Ning Shi was the 51st to go on stage. After he sat in the mecha cockpit, he felt himself being wrapped up by the soft substance in the cockpit.

It felt like a baby returning to its mother’s womb.

The truth was that Ning Shi’s entire body was covered in a layer of black substance in the cockpit. This black substance was called the mecha’s neurons.

It could allow the pilot’s nervous system to better extend to the entire mecha.

Ning Shi followed Ye Hongmian’s instructions on mecha piloting and released the willpower in his brain into the mecha’s power room, driving the mecha with great difficulty.

His willpower was insufficient, so he could only use the power room to operate the mecha. He could not cover the entire mecha’s body and allow it to move freely.

When Ning Shi piloted the mecha, he felt like a five-year-old child lifting a heavy hammer. It was extremely difficult.

It was also as if his body was seriously ill and it was difficult for him to walk.

However, Ning Shi still endured the discomfort and performed the ground running and sliding steps to block the gun. The first move got 8 points, and the second move only got 4 points.

With a total score of 12 points, he was ranked 29th.

His results in mecha piloting were not particularly good, but after calculating the total results of the three assessments, Ning Shi’s class ranking was 21st.

It was an upper-middle result.

He would not be eliminated.

Joaquin had already expected this outcome. Seeing Ning Shi’s results, he didn’t lose his composure. During lunch, he reported this matter to Pang Yuanqing.

He had only accepted the money to carry out Pang Yuanqing’s request. As for the result of the matter being unsatisfactory, Joaquin didn’t care that much.

Although if this matter was not done well, Pang Yuanqing would have a problem with him. In the future, there would be fewer people looking for him to do things.

However, to Joaquin, he was one of the most experienced teachers in the academy, so he wasn’t afraid of Pang Yuanqing.

Furthermore, Joaquin could also tell that this Ning Shi was not simple. An orphan with zero foundation and no background was able to obtain 21st place in the assessment in just seven days.

Ning Shi’s performance was also considered a seed-level genius. He was qualified to compete for a place to further his studies.

Joaquin wouldn’t make a death feud with such a genius, so he didn’t do any tricks and announced the results according to the official procedure.

The last five students were eliminated.

After the assessment, the holidays would begin. Ning Shi had planned to treat Nico and Ye Hongmian to a meal to thank them for their help.

Nico said, “I’m sorry, Ning Shi. Teacher is already waiting for me. I have to go for extra training. Let’s meet another day.”

As a hot shot, the burden on Nico’s shoulders was very heavy. Ning Shi understood very well.

“It’s okay. Go train. There’s still a long way to go.”

After Nico left, Ning Shi went to find Ye Hongmian. The two of them walked towards the residential area, planning to go to the commercial street in the residential area for a big meal.

As soon as he walked out of the field, he was stopped by Yan Yinfei.

Yan Yinfei’s face was full of self-doubt as he said to Ning Shi, “Senior Brother, I feel like there’s something wrong with my mentality. I want your help.

“Can I have a meal and chat with you?”

Ning Shi wanted to spend some time alone with Ye Hongmian. He had only invited Nico out of politeness.

He did not want his junior brother to be a third wheel, so he said, “Junior brother, if you have anything to say, you can say it now. I have an appointment with Teacher Ye. Next time, let’s have a meal together alone.”

Yan Yinfei didn’t really want to eat with Ning Shi. He mainly wanted to solve his psychological problems.

The three of them found a place under the shade of a tree. Yan Yinfei opened his mouth but didn’t say anything, as if he found it difficult to speak.

Ning Shi understood and said to Ye Hongmian, “Teacher Ye, why don’t you wait for me at the platform first? I’ll come and find you in a while.”

Ye Hongmian smiled and nodded before leaving.

“Junior Brother, just say it. We’re fellow disciples from the same sect. You can treat me as a senior brother.” Was it because the test results were out and he was only in second place? Was he feeling uncomfortable?
