On the Mecha

Because this group of students were all trained by him, and without any accidents, most of them would be sent to the battlefield. If their performance could be improved now, perhaps they could get into a better school, and their future destinies would be better.

Thinking of this, Tang Yan's face twitched as he shouted.

"Hold steady, don't rush to get up, get a feel for the controls."

At this moment, Minke, who had stabilized his mecha's body, also shouted to his classmates beside him.

"Don't be nervous, don't make drastic movements right away, you'll find the feel quickly."

"I don't need you to tell me."

Chen Tong gritted his teeth, controlled his mecha to stand up, and replied while struggling to steady its body.

At this moment, the other three classmates also slowly found their rhythm and controlled their mechas to stand up.

Slowly, Minke and the other four gradually got into the zone, at least their mechas were standing steady. Tang Yan immediately issued an order.

"Control the mecha to walk in a straight line, don't sprint, wait until you're fully familiar before sprinting."

Minke and the others followed Tang Yan's instructions, controlling their mechas to move forward wobblingly.

Su Ming watched Ming Ke and the others practice with the actual mechas, concentrating fully and trying his best to remember the key points the teacher mentioned.

Time flew by. An hour and a half later, the five training machines had rotated three times. The training results could be described as dismal; without any surprise, they fell as soon as they got up.

At this moment, Tang Yan called out names again.

"Su Ming, Cheng Ran, Wang Chi, Qin Lei, Zhao Ran."

Su Ming felt extremely excited when he heard his name called, his heart beating much faster. He took a slight breath and walked towards the training machine.

From the observation deck, Lin Chuyu's gaze fell on Su Ming as she watched quietly.

Li Fubai, standing beside her, saw Lin Chuyu's gaze on Su Ming, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

As for Zhang Tai, he stared at Su Ming, wanting to see how capable this kid really was.

Soon, Su Ming stood on the metal square brick with a symbol on it. He looked up, gazing up at the iron-headed training mecha in front of him from up close.

Although it was a training machine and not equipped with weapon modules, the massive machine and its thick metal body still gave off a very strong sense of pressure.

Once such a behemoth started moving, it would be a ferocious steel beast.

Regular soldiers in front of it would be like ants, easily crushed.

Creak!

The metal square brick slowly rose, lifting Su Ming to the cockpit level.

He reached out and opened the cockpit, climbing in with some effort.

The space inside the cockpit was quite spacious; even Su Ming's plump physique didn't feel cramped.

Su Ming suppressed the excitement and thrill in his heart and surveyed the interior of the cockpit.

The cockpit was divided into two main parts: a pilot's seat and a full metal control panel.

Su Ming sat in the pilot's seat and, following the memory in his mind, pressed the safety buckle button on the left armrest.

Click!

A fixed safety buckle extended out, firmly securing Su Ming's body to the pilot's seat.

Next, Su Ming began to manually adjust the pilot's seat to achieve a suitable distance between himself and the full metal control panel.

After doing this, Su Ming looked at the full metal control panel, where he saw thirty-two buttons of different functions and three main control sticks, large and small.

"Hoo~"

Su Ming took a deep breath, then with a determined look, raised his hand and reached for the start button.

Just as Su Ming was about to touch the start button.

Rumble~

The sounds of one fall after another made him even more nervous.

However, he still pressed the start button.

Instantly, the mecha's power unit started, the entire mecha vibrated, and a noisy roar erupted. The control panel screen then lit up.

"Notification: Power unit activated, energy output stable."

"Notification: Self-checking circuits."

Su Ming watched the notifications pop up continuously on the control screen, his eyes becoming sharper.

At this moment, on the training ground, Tang Yan watched Huang Mao and the others fall one after another, feeling somewhat numb. His heart was no longer bleeding, but completely drained.

Zhou Wei was laughing so hard his mouth couldn't close properly; the way they fell was truly comical.

"Oh wow! This is really killing me. But do you think Teacher Tang doesn't feel heartbroken when these training machines keep falling? Back when we were training with real mechas, even though we weren't used to it, we never fell like this?"

"Uh, if they keep falling like this, won't they break the mechas? Then we won't have anything to practice with."

Sun Yue said with some concern.

Zhou Wei's smile froze when he heard this. While he enjoyed watching the show, if the mechas were actually damaged, it would affect them too.

Just then, Su Ming's training machine also fully activated. As expected, the moment his training machine moved slightly, it began to lose balance, and the entire mecha started flailing and twisting.

"Sigh~"

Tang Yan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

However, a gasp suddenly rang out.

"He stabilized it."

Tang Yan was slightly stunned. He looked closer and found that Su Ming had actually stabilized it, even taking a big stride forward without falling.

Seeing this, an expression of disbelief appeared on Tang Yan's face. When did Su Ming's operational skills become so good?

So far, in the entire class, only the class monitor, Minke, had managed to stabilize his mecha. Everyone else who had touched a real mecha had fallen without exception.

Don't underestimate this small difference. The first time one controls a real mecha often reflects their talent and skill the most.

Tang Yan remembered very clearly that Su Ming's mecha operation was very average. Although his grades weren't the absolute bottom of the class, his performance in every simulated test was at most just passing.

Li Fubai saw Su Ming stabilize his mecha and a trace of disdain flickered in his eyes. With this level of skill, he dared to pursue Lin Chuyu? Truly clueless.

If Su Ming could control the real mecha so smoothly on his first try, Li Fubai might have felt a slight threat and taken him seriously. Now, he just felt Su Ming was a clown.

At this moment, Su Ming was controlling the mecha, taking step after step forward. The heavy mecha's movements became increasingly steady.

"When did Su Ming's skills get so good?"

"No way? Is he really controlling it? I couldn't even stabilize my mecha."

Huang Mao and the others started chatting in disbelief.

Chen Tong also felt a bit annoyed seeing this. For this fatty shut-in to operate a real mecha so well, there must be something fishy going on. He snorted coldly.

"Hmph, maybe he's rich and has already touched a real mecha before."

"That makes sense, it's not impossible. Some clubs outside also let people touch real mechas."

"Yeah, it must be that. How could his skills suddenly become so good?"

Many classmates chimed in with agreement.

Just then, class monitor Minke refuted Chen Tong.

"Chen Tong, this is typical prejudice and not wanting to see a classmate improve. Although Su Ming's grades have never been very good, he is also very hardworking. Now that he has improved, as his classmates, we should sincerely be happy and encourage him, not gossip behind his back!"

The classmates who had been chattering stopped talking when they heard Minke's words.
