Dark Alloy Armor

After a week of training, everyone had become very sensitive to the whistle sounds, to the point of being jumpy at the slightest noise. Even someone whistling could potentially trigger their conditioned response.

Before the second whistle even finished, Ge Xiaolun, Wei Zitong, Cheng Yaowen, Liu Chuang, Zhao Xin, Wuji Yi, Lena, Qilin, Du Qiangwei, and Rui Mengmeng were already standing in a neat line on the training ground.

"Attention!"

"At ease!"

After issuing the two commands and seeing the ten execute them perfectly, Jace nodded in satisfaction. His expression softened, losing the fierce, intimidating look he usually wore. He said, "Teacher Liu asked me to gather you here. He said he has a surprise for you."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't night training, they were fine. They now truly appreciated how interesting Ryze the Wanderer's history lectures were. Whatever shenanigans he pulled, they wouldn't mind.

The boys exchanged strange glances, their expressions mischievous. They hoped Teacher Liu would summon another goddess who was currently bathing...

"Quiet!" Seeing the tendency for people to start whispering, Jace's face stiffened again.

Everyone immediately stood at attention, eyes forward, expressions serious.

"Very good!" Jace nodded again and roared, "Left face! March!"

"One, two, one! One, two, one!"

Along the way, other teachers and students at Super Seminary heard the incredibly catchy marching chant. They also saw ten students in various outfits marching in perfect step, led by a stern-faced officer.

"Heh heh heh, no need to be so serious here," Ryze the Wanderer said with a smile, patting Jace's shoulder as he approached the group.

He then looked at the now relaxed students and continued, "I've gathered you here today because the academy has prepared exclusive professional suits for you."

"What kind of professional suits?" Ge Xiaolun asked.

"You'll know when we get there, hehe!" Ryze the Wanderer teased, keeping them in suspense.

Among these ten people, only Wei Zitong and Lena knew that the so-called "professional suits" were the Dark Alloy Armor. Wei Zitong knew the plot, while Lena already possessed one but hadn't worn it since arriving at Super Seminary.

In fact, on the day Ryze the Wanderer summoned them for class, she could have worn the Dark Alloy Armor to handle the situation. However, Wei Zitong had already intervened to help her beforehand, so she was too lazy to summon the armor.

"Wow, look, a fighter jet!" Zhao Xin exclaimed, spotting a fighter jet with incredibly streamlined aesthetics.

"It's real! It looks so awesome!" Liu Chuang chimed in, equally impressed.

"Can we touch it? Can we touch it?" Zhao Xin asked repeatedly.

"Tch, what a country bumpkin!" Du Qiangwei scornfully looked down on Zhao Xin and the others, then shifted her gaze to Wei Zitong, whose expression was even more composed than hers.

"Have you seen one before?" Qilin asked.

Du Qiangwei reached out and grabbed a "Fighter Pilot Qualification Certificate" from mid-air, tossing it to Qilin.

Qilin caught it and flipped it open, looking at the name and photo. She couldn't help but exclaim, "You can really fly a fighter jet?"

"Mhm!" Du Qiangwei nodded calmly. She then turned to look at Wei Zitong again and noticed that Qilin's astonishment had no effect on him, which made her feel a bit dejected.

Meanwhile, Wei Zitong was chatting with Lena and Cheng Yaowen.

"What exactly are these professional suits? Why so mysterious?" Wei Zitong asked, feigning ignorance.

"I bet it's the Dark Alloy Armor, eighty percent sure!" Lena replied nonchalantly. "I actually have a set too, but I haven't worn it since coming to the academy. That thing is really uncomfortable to wear!"

"No armor is comfortable to wear," Cheng Yaowen said. "I've seen my father wear it. He looks very imposing, but he doesn't wear it in daily life."

Ryze the Wanderer walked onto a high platform, patted a pile of black metal boxes beside him, and looked down at the crowd. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, quiet down, quiet down. These are the professional suits the academy has custom-made for you!"

The crowd immediately quieted down, their gazes fixed on the pile of black metal boxes, all wondering what these professional suits would be like.

Wei Zitong was no exception. Seeing them was one thing, but wearing them was another. He hoped his professional suit wouldn't be the bulky, dark, and crude design Ge Xiaolun had in the early stages. He preferred something lighter, like Zhao Xin's, as he wasn't a frontline tank anyway!

Jace had actually worn one on the first day he appeared, but the others seemed more eager for their own.

"Only this batch arrived today; the next batch will come tomorrow," Ryze the Wanderer said. "I hope you will cherish the cultivation and efforts made by the academy and the country for you, and not let this expectation go unfulfilled!"

Wei Zitong keenly caught the deeper meaning behind Ryze the Wanderer's words, something even Du Qiangwei, who usually had the strongest sense of patriotism, had missed.

Ryze the Wanderer placed "the academy" before "the country," clearly showing he valued Super Seminary more. This also indicated that the country couldn't completely control Super Seminary. It made sense; how could a pre-nuclear civilization country control an academy established countless years after the nuclear age? How could it have the capability to create projects like Xiong Bing Lian, an endeavor of god-making?

"What kind of professional suits are they? Can you open them so we can see?" Ge Xiaolun was the first to break the silence, eager to show Du Qiangwei how imposing he looked in armor.

"Get him up there!" Ryze the Wanderer waved his hand.

Jace stepped forward and kicked the unsuspecting Ge Xiaolun flying!

"There you go!"

Ryze the Wanderer quickly opened a metal box and, with a flourish, sent black Dark Alloy Armor components flying like streaks of blue light towards Ge Xiaolun, who was screaming in mid-air!

As the sounds of metal friction and interlocking echoed in the air, Ge Xiaolun's body was repeatedly struck by the incoming armor parts, causing him to drift and tumble in the air, letting out continuous cries of surprise!

The crowd below watched with shining eyes. As soon as Ge Xiaolun finished donning the armor and crashed to the ground, Zhao Xin eagerly stepped forward, shouting, "Damn, that's so cool! I want one too, I want one too!"

Then, Jace, as if it were second nature, kicked Zhao Xin into the air like a soccer ball!

As soon as Zhao Xin landed, Liu Chuang rushed out, giving no chance to Wei Zitong, who was second in line. Then, he too was kicked by Jace!

Wei Zitong sighed helplessly and decided to stand at the very back...

Jace had clearly made kicking people a reflex. When the last male student, Wuji Yi, landed, Jace instinctively turned his gaze to Wei Zitong.

Wei Zitong shivered all over, feeling like he was being stared at by a wolf, his hair standing on end. He quickly waved his hands and said, "I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!"

"I don't care about gravity!" he declared, stepping forward before Jace could react.

His reasons for not wanting Jace's help were twofold: firstly, he didn't want to be kicked by Jace, which would be incredibly embarrassing; secondly, he wanted to test out another idea he had for using his abilities.

The ability proved to be as miraculous as he'd hoped. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the absence of gravity. A light push off the ground sent his body floating upwards until his head bumped against the ceiling, where he stopped.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Zitong's ability is insane!" Liu Chuang shouted in amazement. "Does this mean he can become an aerial unit?"

"We can too!" Cheng Yaowen added. "Did you forget Zitong can apply his ability to us? He just needs to change his target!"

"Tch!" Du Qiangwei mercilessly shattered everyone's excitement, stating coldly, "You think not being affected by gravity means you can fly? What's the point of floating in mid-air without a propulsion system? You'll just drift with the wind like dust!"

Wei Zitong was well aware of the situation Du Qiangwei described. However, he was perplexed as to why his Dark Alloy Armor hadn't arrived yet, considering how long he'd been floating.

He turned to look at Ryze the Wanderer below, only to find Ryze wearing an extremely awkward expression.

"Ahem!" Ryze cleared his throat. "Zitong, your Dark Alloy Armor is quite special. Miss Teacher hasn't researched a suitable armor for you yet. It might take some time before we see results..."

Wei Zitong decisively deactivated his gravity-ignoring Buff, allowing his body to plummet downwards...

This was too damn embarrassing
