This is a practical test.

Academy regulations.

Slay the giant beast.

Each Lower-tier Giant Beast grants the entire team a reward of 1000 Credit Points.

Mid-tier Giant Beast costs 2000 Credit Points.

Then, during the testing process...

The judges will award extra Credit Points based on each team's performance.

For example, when Luo Yan defeated the 'orange cat', he was awarded an extra 200 Credit Points by the judges.

Individual awards will be included in the group's overall evaluation.

That's why Group A's ratings were temporarily in the lead for the first year.

Regarding the judgment of killing giant beasts.

The Academy's regulations are as follows.

The one who delivers the fatal blow to the behemoth, causing its energy spectrum to disappear, is called the Slayer.

Now.

Inside the Command Center of the high-speed rail station's waiting hall.

The students who were playing the role of advisors fell silent.

They were dumbfounded.

Watching the Guo Niao's head shatter on the screen.

Watching the energy spectrum representing the behemoth disappear in the corner of the screen.

Immediately afterwards.

The judging panel provided the scores.

' Li Zi, from Year B Group, slayed the Mid-tier Giant Beast, the Guo Niao.'

The entire team will be awarded 2000 Credit Points credits.

'Grade 1B is currently in the lead; students from other teams, please keep up the good work!'

Instantly.

The Command Center was in an uproar.

"This is not fair!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Group B clearly stole our kills, and the teacher even rewarded them with points!"

"There's something fishy going on! There's something fishy going on!"

"Group B, you guys are fucking shameless!"

"They actually hid behind us and fired shots to steal the credit!"

Soon, some students complained to the judging panel.

The judging panel responded quickly.

The Credit Points awards just given will not be changed.

In an instant.

The students in Group A were indignant.

Inside the stadium's track and field.

Zeng Shan opened the public channel and unleashed a torrent of profanity at Group B, showcasing his trolling skills to the fullest.

On the B side, Li Zi, who had stolen the kill, responded in the public channel, "Zeng, how could someone with a 36-degree mouth say such a thing?"

"Does the Academy have a rule against sniping or stealing kills?"

"Since there's no rule, then I haven't done anything wrong."

"And look, the judging panel also said they're sticking to their original decision."

"What does this mean? It means that the teachers also think I did the right thing."

"I know you're not convinced."

"It's pretty frustrating to have your spoils stolen by a woman, the spoils of war from three grown men."

"But you're boys, can't you be a little more generous?"

"Don't nitpick over such trivial matters with a woman like me, okay?"

Zeng Shan was so angry that his face turned red, and he roared with a thick neck, "Is this some kind of trivial matter?"

"How long have we been preparing to hunt this behemoth?"

"And you snatched it away without saying a word."

"If it were you, would you be so generous and not hold it against me?"

Li Zi smiled and said, "I don't know how."

"But I'm a woman."

Isn't stinginess a woman's prerogative?

At this moment.

Luo Yan's voice came through the public channel.

"Stop arguing."

then.

Luo Yan then said in the group channel, "Next, Li Bohang and Zeng Shan, you two continue hunting the giant beasts."

"I'll go keep an eye on Group B."

Li Bohang immediately understood Luo Yan's meaning.

He wants An Eye for an Eye.

We need to steal kills from Group B.

Zeng Shan knew that no matter how much he criticized them, he couldn't kill the B group, so he could only angrily turn off the public channel.

Year Two A Group

Inside the camp's Command Center.

Yang Lixie his tongue in amazement and said, "This year's freshmen are truly remarkable."

"She stole someone else's credit and then told them not to be petty with her; she's given them all the logic in the story."

Liu Ruohan was drinking water nearby, smiled and said, "What she said isn't entirely wrong."

"The Academy doesn't have a rule against stealing credit from other groups."

"We learned this the hard way back in first grade."

"Foolishly believing it was fair competition."

"However, when it comes to claiming credit, one must consider who they are targeting."

"If they're easy targets, then we can just take them."

"But that student Li could have chosen anyone, yet he specifically chose Year A Group."

"Our Classmate Luo isn't the kind of person who doesn't hold grudges against women."

"I think Year B Group is in for a rough time."

Seeing that the goddess had responded, Yang Lixie pressed his advantage, asking with a smile, "Ruohan, what do you think Classmate Luo will do?"

Liu Ruohan took a sip of water and said, "If it were me..."

"Of course, I'll return the favor exactly how people treat me."

Yang Lixie's eyes lit up. "You mean, Classmate Luo will go and camp in Group B, to steal their kills?"

Liu Ruohan stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow we'll go hunt that ' Quru '."

Yang Lixie immediately stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I brought mosquito repellent spray. I'll spray your tent first, and I guarantee you'll sleep soundly tonight."

On the other side of the city.

At the camp of Year B Group.

"Long live Li Zi!"

"Li, you're amazing!"

"Yeah, haha. Our group's ranking jumped to first place all of a sudden."

"Now let's see who dares to underestimate us."

Despite the compliments from her classmates, Li Zi did not lose herself.

The ordinary-looking girl pushed up her thick glasses and said, "There are just too many talented people in our class."

"Classmate Luo goes without saying."

"Among the new students, his reputation is the most illustrious."

Even the older students know him.

"The others."

"Li Bohang is an excellent marksman and excels in planning and command, especially the latter, which is highly regarded by the teachers."

"And Lin Wei too."

"She is very knowledgeable and versatile; I've heard she's also knowledgeable about the languages of that 'world.'"

"Recently, she was asked by the city's archaeological team to help translate a batch of newly unearthed Stone Tablet."

"Otherwise, who knows who among us pilots would be replaced by her."

Li Zi sighed and said, "Although I'm unwilling to do such a despicable thing."

"But if I don't make a good impression on the mentors, I'm afraid I'll have little chance of getting ahead."

The other two mecha pilots, Lin Cheng and Shen Yu, also nodded slightly.

They were all students who weren't particularly gifted.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, you really have to take an unconventional approach to have any hope.

Shen Yu, who is slightly thin and has an average appearance, said with some worry, "If it weren't for the fact that our camp is relatively close to the gymnasium, and Li heard the Infant Cry and went out to investigate, we wouldn't have had the chance to steal the credit from Group A."

"But this way, we've really made enemies of them."

"No one else knows."

"Classmate Luo will definitely not let this go."

"I bet he'll target our group next."

Lin Cheng snorted and said, "So what? Can he take on our entire team by himself?"

"Unless their group does absolutely nothing and only targets us."

"Otherwise, I don't think there's any need to worry too much."
