Chapter 173 An Unspeakable Interview

Zheng Yiran held the flag like this, waiting for someone to pick them up.

Hui Xingxiu and the others had just been picked up by the aircraft, and they had been watching the direction of the finish line the entire time.

Even after getting into the aircraft, the excitement of the few of them did not diminish in the slightest. Hui Xingxiu and the others were very excited: "Did you see that! Our Imperial Military Academy is so strong! We are the first even when surrounded by eleven military academies!"

Rong Feijie glanced at the triumphant Hui Xingxiu and reflected on himself: "Alright, being first is all thanks to Meng Huai. And it was also by luck. Every competition in the future feels like it will be very difficult!"

Hui Xingxiu ignored Rong Feijie. Rong Feijie's rationality did not mean that Hui Xingxiu had to be as rational. After winning first place in such a situation, wasn't he allowed to be happy for a moment!

Jing Yuanche, however, was thinking: This competition revealed too much about Meng Huai. Wouldn't that be dangerous? With such ability, and being just a student now, there were too many unpredictable factors.

At this moment, all three people on the aircraft had their own thoughts. Meng Huai was waiting at the finish line. Soon, the aircraft arrived at the finish line and picked them up.

With the five people from the Imperial Military Academy gathered together, celebrating was even more necessary. The five of them, like elementary school students, ran around in circles. The pilot of the aircraft looked back at them and thought: Don't collapse!

However, once they were on the aircraft, they could no longer see what was happening below. They had to wait for the other two flags to be pulled up before they could leave the competition area. Meng Huai and the others did not wait long before the aircraft began to move out of the competition area.

But they didn't know who was second or third, and it didn't matter.

When they left the competition area, reporters immediately swarmed them.

"The five from the Imperial Military Academy, we had an agreement! You would accept interviews after the competition."

Zheng Yiran stepped forward and said with a polite smile: "We haven't forgotten. Come, let's clear the exit first. The interviews won't run away."

The reporters, receiving Zheng Yiran's affirmation, stepped back.

Moving to a place that didn't obstruct the passage of others, the reporters began to eagerly ask questions.

"I'd like to ask student Meng Huai, what is the principle behind the sword-stepping flight you performed at the end?"

Ah, this first question was very explosive. Not only did the reporters look towards them, but the teachers from other military academies, who were waiting for their students, also looked over when they heard the question.

Meng Huai, however, said: "Well, it's a mechanism placed on the sword for flight, but it's still in the experimental stage..."

The reporters clearly didn't believe this answer, but they continued to ask: "Is it the design of Mech Master Rong?"

Hearing this explanation, that's naturally what they would think. After all, Rong Feijie was the team's mech master, so this was the only logical explanation.

Rong Feijie waved his hands repeatedly: "It wasn't me."

If he admitted this today, and couldn't come up with more designs tomorrow, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Seeing Rong Feijie's clarification, the reporters turned their attention back to Meng Huai, wanting her to provide an explanation. But they only received Meng Huai's smiling reply: "It's a secret."

After all, Meng Huai couldn't explain the principle of sword flight to these people.

The reporters looked at each other, clearly these people wouldn't reveal everything even if they accepted interviews.

But it was better than not accepting interviews at all, so the microphones were handed to Zheng Yiran again.

"Commander Zheng, when did you master the skill of the sensory barrier?"

Zheng Yiran was startled by the question, thinking: What is meant to come will come.

Zheng Yiran instinctively glanced at Meng Huai, took a deep breath, and then told the reporters: "This, I haven't mastered it yet. Perhaps I only used the sensory barrier in a moment of crisis. If I had to use it again, I wouldn't be able to."

Yes, Meng Huai had just secretly told Zheng Yiran that if asked about the sensory barrier, she should say that Zheng Yiran used it in a moment of crisis. After all, Meng Huai had already attracted too much attention in this competition, and it was better to be low-key.

Zheng Yiran listened to Meng Huai's words helplessly.

The reporters were quite speechless. Can you answer interviews properly? One question is kept secret, and another is a prevarication. This is making things difficult for them!

They had no choice but to ask someone else: "Mech Master Rong, what are your thoughts on this competition?"

Facing such a question, Rong Feijie was not embarrassed at all. He stepped forward directly and said: "I think I still need to practice shooting and defense, and strive to provide help to the team when encountering similar problems in the future, without becoming a burden."

Another oddball.

"Alright."

The reporter who asked Rong Feijie responded with a twisted smile. The other reporters also rushed to ask questions.

"To the three solo combatants, what are your thoughts on the eleven military academies ganging up on the Imperial Military Academy today?"

Hui Xingxiu said excitedly: "Let the storm come more fiercely!"

Jing Yuanche said: "We'll kill one that comes, and ten that come!"

Hearing Jing Yuanche's words, Hui Xingxiu looked at him and said: "You were eliminated the earliest, so your words have no deterrence."

The others from the Imperial Military Academy looked at Hui Xingxiu undermining their own teammate and were speechless for a long time.

But Jing Yuanche muttered: "Weren't you eliminated too!"

Well, what true teammates! wΑp.kanshu伍.net

After a few more questions, Zheng Yiran felt that the answers were sufficient and bid farewell to the reporters. The reporters were quite satisfied and let them leave.

Others also came out at this time, but there was a commotion at the exit.

"What's happening, what's happening?"

Before the reporters could reach the exit, they saw that something seemed to have happened over there. They all hurried towards it, and then they saw a group of military academy students seem to be arguing.

"You people from the Second Military Academy have no integrity whatsoever."

"Then our team didn't have any solo combatants. What help could a commander and a mech master provide? So we had to go to the finish line first, otherwise wouldn't the solo combatants be sacrificed in vain?"

The military academy students at the scene were already very angry, and after hearing Mu Rongshuai's explanation, they became truly enraged.

"Listen to yourself, are you talking like a human? Are you treating us, the ten military academies, as fools? You took all the benefits!"

Mu Rongshuai shrugged innocently: "We didn't take any advantage."

Seeing Mu Rongshuai's pretense, these people really wished they could punch him. Some impulsive ones were indeed held back by their teammates.

"Calm down, calm down. If we hit him, we'll be disqualified. We can't let the Second Military Academy take advantage of this."

However, some people pointed at the people from the Second Military Academy indignantly and said: "You didn't take any advantage because you're weak! If you had the chance, wouldn't you have pulled up the flag? Heaven couldn't stand it, so you two were attacked by star beasts just as you were about to reach the finish line."

It's just a shame that they still had some points left.

Although those points were not a big deal, it was because of these few points that the Second Military Academy ranked higher than the other eliminated military academies.

It was infuriating!
