Chapter 1173 -693: Sleepwalking in the Virgo Constellation_1

It was struggling frantically, trying to break free from its cocoon.

Nico Ross’s head was buzzing, and it took all his strength just to organize his thoughts, let alone speak.

It was impossible for him to strategize at this time.

Mata Nicholson complained, “Captain, stop kidding around, we’re in a competition now!”

But Nico had already sat down cross-legged, without uttering a word, looking determined and resolute.

Mata, Sophie Lee, Edgar, Ponkt, Morrison, and others exchanged glances.

This was bad.

The captain was serious.

No wonder he had that whimsical “AFK” training yesterday, it turned out it was all part of his plan.

“Well, it looks like we have to rely on ourselves,” Edgar shrugged.

Morrison: “I believe Edgar, you can lead us to victory!”

John Rowland glared at him, “Nonsense, Mata is the vice-captain, we should obey Mata’s command.”

Morrison: “But Edgar has the second best overall strength in our team! He should have the final say!”

John: “A good commander doesn’t rely solely on brute force! Many great generals can’t drive armor! What’s the use of strong limbs and simple minds?”

They had already started arguing.

Seeing this, the academy’s teachers were also at a loss.

The staff of the Sage Project and onlookers like Dylan Mitchell were equally puzzled.

At this moment, Lev, who had always been taciturn, approached Nico and said in a flat tone, “Captain, I accept your arrangement, but I think you should give us a more convincing reason.”

Nico barely opened his eyes, glanced at Lev, and then looked at his teammates who had stopped arguing and were watching him.

He could feel it too.

If he let things continue, the Flying Tiger Team’s elimination was inevitable.

Nico figured he probably had to say something.

But by now, his mind was almost entirely consumed by chaos, with only a glimmer of insight left.

Relying on this insight, he spoke sincerely, “My goal is not just a mere academy selection, nor is it a No.7 Star selection. I want to lead you out of the Tenth Battle Zone, stand on the Empire’s highest stage, and make a name for ourselves there. To achieve this goal, the level you’ve shown so far is far from enough.”

“I can’t always drag you forward. I want you to break out of the academy without my help. If you fail, it proves that I was dreaming from the beginning. Forcing you to participate in the Cloudtop War Zone selection with me would be pointless, we would only lose more disgracefully. Do you understand my meaning?”

Having said that, Nico closed his eyes again.

This time, he would not open them.

Lev returned to the others without a word, picked up the mission briefing in front of him and started reading.

Edgar looked at Mata awkwardly, and in the next instant, he turned around and slapped Morrison on the head, “You talk too much! Captain Mata, it’s up to you.”

Mata nodded, “Alright.”

They finally understood Nico’s “true” intentions.

No wonder he was the captain, always thinking so far ahead.

This sudden epiphany caused them to transform.

Five minutes later, Mata finished the action plan and clicked the start button.

Twenty-nine Flying Tiger Team members disappeared from the prep area, entering their first mission.

Days ago, when Nico first started training them, their average strength grew considerably, catching up with that of normal combat classes in the academy.

Now, another week had gone by, and after the ups and downs of the first round match, their progress continued.

From a skill perspective, the previous match had improved the team members to some extent, but the real change was their mindset.

These former dropouts had regained their confidence.

They had realized, “I can do it.”

Now, they put aside their grudges and selfishness, determined to prove themselves to Nico, and aspiring to reach that highest stage.

Since the captain said so, let us give it a try.

We’ll be as indifferent to life and death, victory and defeat as our captain, doing our best without regrets.

With this mindset, these little ones with mismatched mental ages and intelligence levels erupted with an astonishing amount of energy.

Thirty-three hours later, the Flying Tiger Team managed to advance, ranking 19th out of 80 teams.

When they learned the results, the exhausted children couldn’t believe it as if they were dreaming.

Being among the top 19 out of over 800 classes, and more than 200 combat units in the academy, meant that they had become the elite of the elite without Nico.

And also, while other teams had a full roster of 30 people, they were still only 29!

Not only the little ones themselves were surprised.

Teachers like Daniel Thompson fell into deep thought as well.

Thinking back to the initial ranking prediction the AI gave the Flying Tiger Team, it was also 19th.

At the time, some people thought it was too high, while Daniel Thompson thought it was too low.

Now, Daniel understood.

Who could have known that the 19th place prediction had such a meaning?
