Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Surprise (Additional for Alliance Leader PureRedApple) (Fourth Release)

"""So many? Teacher, why do these species seem so inconsequential, are they too weak?""

Angel curiously asked.

"Most species are indeed weak, but not all of them. There are other species that have especially formidable life forms, like the Hive, which even has V-type Heroic Level existence within its kind. The reason we don’t pay much attention to them is that these species lack leaders. They live disorganized in the universe, posing no significant threat to us as a whole! But that doesn’t mean there’s no danger when encountering them."

"But teacher, we also don’t know how to distinguish their strengths and weaknesses, as there’s too little information on that matter."

Allu raised a critical issue.

"Don’t you use your eyes? Generally, the larger the life form, the stronger it’s likely to be. However, this isn’t always the case; some life forms are the opposite, the smaller, the stronger."

"Isn’t that too general?"

"

Then I can’t help it, a lot of things still rely on experience, as even the data I have is not complete. Moreover, most of the data is confidential and simply cannot be shared with you."

Mia felt quite helpless.

"In my opinion, we should try to get hold of a good Mecha. The better the Mecha we have, the more confidence we’ll have regardless of what creatures we come across!"

Rhein directly expressed his opinion.

"Exactly, if we have a good Mecha, what do we have to fear?"

"But Mechas are expensive."

"I’ve heard too, the prices are ridiculously high, especially the third and fourth generation Mechas."

"Doesn’t the school have a mission hall? I’ve heard there are many tasks there with great rewards."

"Teacher, can we take on tasks?"

...

Everyone was very excited discussing Mechas.

Bang!

Mia suddenly slapped her hand on the lecture desk, making Rhein and others instantly shut their mouths.

Mia’s gaze swept coldly over all the students, causing the class atmosphere to plummet to freezing.

Su Ming clearly felt that Teacher Mia was getting angry, realizing that this seemingly irresponsible teacher could indeed become upset.

"You haven’t even learned how to walk and you’re thinking of running. Do you really think the mission hall is just handing out money? Let me tell you the truth, none of the tasks in the mission hall is safe; they’re all highly dangerous, you might undertake a task and come back in a coffin! These tasks are issued by the Military Department when they are understaffed and can’t handle them, and sending them to the academy is no different from sending you to a battlefield! Additionally, the reason the academy allows the Military Department to issue these tasks is because some students have grown up and need to go through the tough baptism in exchange for compensation."

Mia spoke icily.

After hearing this, Su Ming and others fell silent, then Rhein asked,

"Teacher, how then do we earn money to buy Mechas?"

"Yeah, teacher, my family isn’t very wealthy either."

Zhang Yi also joined in.

Many classmates turned to look at Mia.

Mia sighed and then addressed everyone,

"Study well, try to improve yourselves. At the end of the term, there are grade exams and competitions. If you achieve good results, you can get generous scholarships. It’s safer than going to the battlefield, and it pays more too."

"Okay!"

Rhein and everyone else responded.

"Um, Su Ming, come here and distribute these materials."

Mia took a stack of files from under the lecture desk and addressed Su Ming.

Su Ming stood up, walked to the podium, and distributed the documents to his classmates.

Mia then instructed everyone,

"This material I’m giving you is very important. Do not open it now; wait until you return to your dormitory. And keep it safe, don’t lose it; I will need to collect it back later. Anyone who loses it will face severe punishment."

"Yes."

Rhein and the others responded, albeit confusedly.

...

In dormitory 301 that night.

Su Ming lay in bed, replying to Zhao Ning’s messages on his phone.

"Mother, the school’s conditions are very good in all aspects, and the food is particularly excellent, so don’t worry."

...

At that moment, Rhein picked up the document that teacher Mia had sent them.

"What’s with this document? The teacher made it so mysterious, insisting that we could only open it back in the dorm."

"Let’s open it and see."

Zhang Yi said as he opened the document.

What caught his eye was a dense recording of various monsters’ characteristics and detailed information on several significant battles that the Federation had fought.

"It doesn’t seem anything special, just a collection of data on monsters and battles."

Zhang Yi scratched his head and said.

"I don’t think it’s anything special either, although it’s well organized. But there was no need for her to exaggerate like that, our teacher loves to make a big deal out of things."

Rhein complained helplessly.

At this time, Su Ming sent a goodnight text to Zhao Ning, then set aside his cellphone. He also picked up his copy of the document, glanced over it, and indeed, it was just as they had said.

The document’s content was indeed just summaries of monster characteristics and important battles.

However, when Su Ming casually flipped the document over, his expression suddenly turned to one of surprise, and he sat up straight.

"Class leader, what’s wrong?"

Zhang Yi asked curiously.

"Turn the document over and look at the back."

Su Ming took a deep breath and said.

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Rhein and the others perked up and turned the document over. To their surprise, the back of the document clearly had a watermark that read: "Federation Military Department Classified Information."

"Holy shit, classified information!"

Rhein and the others were shocked.

"That’s definitely something good; let’s take a close look before the lights go out, or we won’t be able to see anymore."

Zhang Yi said, excited.

Su Ming agreed with Zhang Yi’s sentiment and started reading the document carefully.

...

In the dead of night.

Inside the dormitory, Su Ming lay on his bed, sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.

Just then, the tightly shut door was suddenly pushed open, and faint noises seeped through.

Su Ming, who was deep in sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and was about to get up and shout when a hand suddenly covered his mouth.

"Shh!"

Su Ming was startled and looked closely, only to discover that teacher Mia had sneaked into the dormitory in the middle of the night.

He was utterly speechless. What was this all about?

Mia slowly released her hand, and Su Ming immediately sat up and asked the sneaky teacher,

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

Mia spoke in a hushed voice.

"Go, wake up all the classmates, remember not to make any noise that might alert other classes. Also, have them put these on; I’ll wait for you downstairs."

Mia stuffed a pile of noiseless shoe covers into Su Ming’s arms and then quietly left.

Watching Mia’s departing figure, Su Ming sighed. One would think she was a thief if they didn’t know better.

Still, he followed Mia’s instructions and started waking up his classmates one by one.

...

Soon after, all the students of the class, wearing their shoe covers, gathered downstairs.

Su Ming quickly counted the number of people, then told Mia.

"Everyone’s here."

"Good, remember to walk lightly! Let’s go!"

Mia waved her hand, leading everyone away.
