Lena's Way of Comfort

Wei Zitong felt a bit dejected. Everyone else, including Jace, had the Dark Alloy Armor, but he didn't.

He never doubted Ryze the Wanderer's words; he believed Teacher Miss was definitely working on it. However, seeing everyone else in the large black armor during training made him feel out of place, and it bothered him.

Ryze the Wanderer summoned Miss and said with a frustrated slap to his forehead, "When you delivered them, why didn't you tell me there wasn't one for Zitong? Do you know how awkward it was when I reached out and found it empty beside me?"

"You didn't check when they were delivered!" Miss replied, her voice delicate, soft, and pleasant. "And you didn't update the research data in time. I didn't know we needed to build another set of Dark Alloy Armor."

"Sigh!" Ryze the Wanderer became even more distressed. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "How about we find a mass-produced set to tide him over for now?"

"That won't work," Miss shook her head. "The Dark Alloy Armor has matching codes for specific genetic models. Mass-produced ones have no auxiliary effects for Super Soldiers. Compared to a Super Soldier's own defense, wearing Dark Alloy Armor without auxiliary effects is like wearing nothing at all."

"This is a big problem!" Ryze the Wanderer collapsed onto the sofa. "I just hope that kid Zitong doesn't get upset!"

"He'll definitely have emotions, but he's always been very reserved!" Miss said. "Have you noticed, although Zitong trains enthusiastically with Lena and the others, and might even be developing a romantic interest, he always maintains a sense of distance from everyone?"

"You mean..." Ryze the Wanderer immediately sat up straight.

"Mhm!" Miss nodded. "I have a feeling that he's not from the same world as us."

"That's impossible!" Ryze the Wanderer waved his hand dismissively in annoyance. "His information is clear; we didn't even have to investigate deliberately. His family has always been closely connected to us. I can be sure he's a descendant of Angel International's Wei family!"

Miss remained noncommittal. She walked forward a few steps, picked up the documents Ryze the Wanderer had impatiently transported via Wormhole, and began to read them.

A moment later, Miss put down the documents and said, "Zitong changed a lot before and after joining the academy."

"I've considered that!" Ryze the Wanderer nodded. "Anyone who enters the Super Seminary must change to some extent, otherwise, they couldn't have reached this point. Haven't Liu Chuang and Zhao Xin changed a lot too? You know, they were just hooligans before joining the academy!"

"The change I'm talking about is a complete transformation. Haven't you noticed? Zitong seems like a completely different person," Miss said. "He used to be a playboy, a spendthrift, and uneducated. Now, he's studious, motivated, and gentle with girls while still maintaining distance. This isn't something... well, I can't say it, but it's not something the original Wei Zitong could have displayed!"

Ryze the Wanderer rubbed his temples in distress. "Teacher Miss, no matter what changes Zitong has undergone, they are all for the better. I don't understand what you're worried about..."

As he spoke, he turned to look out the window. The midday sun was blazing, and the students were sweating profusely on the training field, each exuding youthful vitality. It made him, an ancient being, feel both envious and gratified.

His mood eased for a moment. Ryze the Wanderer gazed at the scene outside and said calmly, "Miss, I understand your concerns, but you must remember, we are just teachers. Our mission is to guide this batch of students well. A wise man from Huaxia once said, 'Teach without discrimination.' If they learn well, it's their fortune; if they don't learn well, it's our failure!"

He then stood up and walked to the window, sighing. "Don't overthink it. I'm old now and can't teach many more batches of students. I want to teach this batch well..."

After a moment of silence, he turned to Miss and asked, "Do you understand?"

"I understand..." Miss lowered her head. "I'll go back and redesign the Dark Alloy Armor for Zitong right away."

"There's no need to be so rushed!" Ryze the Wanderer waved his hand. "I've already spoken to the child on your behalf, telling him that his abilities are special and that you are researching Dark Alloy Armor suitable for him, without specifying a deadline."

"Thank you, Teacher Liu!" Miss bowed respectfully and then quickly walked out of Ryze the Wanderer's office.

Wei Zitong would never have imagined that his deliberate efforts to prevent the plot from deviating too much would arouse suspicion from Miss and the others. He was currently adding a two-thousand-pound weight Debuff to Ge Xiaolun.

Yes, ever since Ge Xiaolun equipped the Dark Alloy Armor, his physical potential had been further stimulated, and his ability to handle weight was increasing.

In fact, everyone else who wore the Dark Alloy Armor had also seen their abilities improve to varying degrees, with Ge Xiaolun, Lena, and Liu Chuang being the most prominent!

Was this the Three Great God Creation Projects that the Super Seminary had been striving for? Wei Zitong mused. Perhaps their Dark Alloy Armor had been designed long ago?

Lena was another matter. She might have already adapted to it on Lieyang. Now, facing Lena, whose abilities were greatly enhanced by her Dark Alloy Armor, Wei Zitong didn't dare to use his abilities against her. If he did, his energy would be depleted instantly, and to achieve any effect, he might even have to expend his own life force.

So, like Wei Zitong, Lena didn't wear the Dark Alloy Armor. She trained with added weight Debuffs, while Wei Zitong simply didn't have any.

Without the assistance of the Dark Alloy Armor, Wei Zitong's physique was quickly surpassed by others. Even Qilin, a contestant not skilled in close combat, was nearly surpassing Wei Zitong in physique.

Therefore, after the first day of teasing Wei Zitong, everyone stopped laughing once they saw the training results. They were worried about bringing any negative emotions to their classmate, who seemed to get along well with everyone.

Of course, they also didn't dare. If Wei Zitong got angry, he could directly apply a ten-ton Debuff when increasing the weight. They all remembered that on the day he first developed the weight ability, Wei Zitong had discussed this combat strategy with everyone. Although they had all clamored that ten tons was too little and it should be a hundred tons, when this Debuff was actually about to be applied to them, they still felt a chill in their hearts. After all, even with Ge Xiaolun's physique, carrying a one-ton weight was already very strenuous.

Wei Zitong was now quite idle. Considering his auxiliary role on the battlefield was greater than his combat role, and he didn't have the Dark Alloy Armor's assistance, Jace hadn't subjected him to intensified training. His training volume remained the same as the previous week. With a Super Soldier's physique and potential, a week's worth of training was no longer high-intensity. Wei Zitong finished quickly, even faster than Zhao Xin, who was as swift as lightning!

Seeing Wei Zitong sitting alone on the edge of the field, lost in thought, Lena, who had easily completed her day's training, walked over and sat beside him, asking, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"No," Wei Zitong had already snapped out of his daze. He turned to look at Lena, momentarily mesmerized. Lena didn't sweat, so no matter how intense the training, she wouldn't appear disheveled and sweaty like other girls. The intense training instead stimulated the divinity within her... or so Wei Zitong thought. In any case, Lena, after intense training, emitted a faint fragrance that could cause a moment of distraction.

"Do I look good?" Lena, of course, didn't know that her body emitted a fragrance after intense training. She just saw Wei Zitong staring at her blankly and asked.

"Cough..." Wei Zitong suddenly came to his senses, coughing a few times to dispel his embarrassment. He immediately turned his head away and said perfunctorily, "Beautiful, beautiful! How could our goddess not be beautiful?"

"I find you to be quite mischievous!" Lena stood up, grabbed Wei Zitong's head with both hands, and shook it vigorously, making him dizzy.

"Hey, hey, hey, let go, let go, I'm dizzy..." Wei Zitong had no idea what had gotten into Lena, who was suddenly acting erratically. He could only plead repeatedly.

"Be my steed, okay?" Lena suddenly stopped shaking him and said softly, "I can satisfy whatever you desire, including the Dark Alloy Armor. You know, I'm the Empress of Lieyang!"

"Then wouldn't I become a concubine in your harem?" Wei Zitong rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Hahahaha!" Lena burst into laughter, nodding repeatedly. "That's good! That's good! This goddess likes it!"

Saying that, and before Wei Zitong could react, she climbed onto his shoulders and shouted loudly, "Good horse, run! Hahaha, I am God!"
