Chapter 54

After the battle, the protective shield automatically opens.

The referee announced the result of the battle, and as soon as he got closer, he was pushed nearly half a meter away by the gust of wind caused by the mecha.

"Classmate Sheng!"

The referee was startled by Sheng Yi's anger and clenched the red card in his hand: "The arena match is over. During the points settlement stage, any form of physical conflict between the two sides is prohibited..."

Sheng Yi sneered: "I summarize the failure experience with my own observers. What kind of conflict is this?"

The referee was stopped by his question and was speechless for a moment.

This kind of arena match is always on point, and even if there are people who are jealous, it is because neither of the two sides is convinced, so they simply throw away the heavy mecha with uncontrollable power, directly roll up their sleeves and fight together.

This was the first time that someone directly attacked his observer in the ring.

The referee did not dare to conflict with him head-on, so he calmed down and raised the red card: "Safety officer!"

Someone was already quickly gathering around the sidelines.

The safety officers are responsible for maintaining the order of the battle, and they are all senior students. In this arena match, the safety officers are all students majoring in logistics.

The leading security officer jumped on the wingman and tried to stop Sheng Yi: "Classmate Sheng, you need to calm down and give us your observation hand..."

When he came across Shi Ji's training uniform, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he quickly stepped back.

Even now, Sheng Yi's ranking has long fallen out of the top 100 in the standings, and his hand-to-hand combat results have always remained at the top.

Without protection, no one in the entire military academy was willing to face off against the out-of-control Sheng Yi.

"Don't get in the way."

Sheng Yi moved his wrist and glanced disdainfully: "Logistics waste..."

Shi Ji spoke softly: "Xiao Yi."

His voice was abrupt, but his tone was always gentle, as if there was no difference from usual.

But as long as you look a little closer, you will find that there is abnormal cold sweat on his forehead, and the pale white lips that have lost their blood are trembling slightly, trying their best to swallow all the pain coming back from the injury.

Shi Ji hasn't felt "pain" in a long time.

He didn't know why he suddenly recovered. He was just involved in the injury, and his eyes were filled with black mist, and his consciousness seemed to be a little groggy.

Sheng Yi was distracted by his words, and without taking action against the security officer, he asked Shi Ji coldly: "Am I sure you called me that?"

Shi Ji calmed down and said, "...Classmate Sheng."

He held the driver's seat with one hand, tried his best to straighten his body, and cleared his voice, which was slightly hoarse from the pain: "I lost, you can punish me."

"Why punishment?"

The security officer on the side frowned when he heard this: "There is a problem with your cooperation mode. During the battle, the mecha pilot is supposed to protect the wingman, how can he leave the wingman alone in the opponent's fire coverage network?"

Sheng Yi narrowed his eyes.

He hated preaching the most. He looked at the senior logistics student, clenched his wrist hard, and an uncontrollable ruthlessness overflowed from his brows.

Shi Ji raised his hand and gently held Sheng Yi down: "...It's my problem. I couldn't dodge the opponent's attack."

"My leg injury was worse than I thought."

Shi Ji explained: "My judgment was wrong. Its impact on the compatibility between me and my wingman is probably more than 7%..."

Sheng Yi interrupted him: "I don't need to hear these reasons."

Shi Ji paused.

Sheng Yi picked up Shi Ji's collar and brought the two of them closer. He said in a cold tone: "You were like this back then. You threw down the main armor and fled back alone. You explained it plausibly and found out a lot of reasons.Come to prevaricate."

Sheng Yi looked at him: "I thought you had changed...it turns out you haven't."

Shi Ji looked at him quietly and swallowed the rest of his words.

Sheng Yi let go of his hand and watched Shi Ji fall back into the driver's seat, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He didn't believe that any leg injury could heal in half a year.

When going to the hospital, Sheng Yi also heard from the police that Shi Ji had been living on an isolated island for the past six months.

Shi Ji received strict wilderness survival training and was self-sufficient on the island. He built a sizable residence and even a small vegetable garden.

Sheng Yi fell from heaven to hell, was pointed out by countless people, and struggled for half a year as if life was worse than death.When he thought of Shi Ji leisurely planting vegetables while he was training desperately, he couldn't control the anger in his heart.

...But he couldn't punish Shi Ji right here.

The old antiques at the military academy all admired Shi Ji very much. They were even more anxious than Sheng Yi during the six months since Shi Ji's disappearance.

Sheng Yi gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his anger.

In the eyes of those teachers and instructors, everything was his fault.

They had preconceptions that Shi Ji was the college's number one observer and would not cause any problems. All cooperation errors were caused by Sheng Yi himself.

Sheng Yi's good grades were due to Shi Ji's influence.

Sheng Yi's performance declined because he lost Shi Ji's cooperation.

Ever since he entered the military academy, this kind of evaluation has followed him like a shadow, and he can't get rid of it no matter what.

…

But Shi Ji obviously lost.

In the battle just now, Sheng Yi's mecha operation rating was S level, and the mecha on the opposite side was almost blasted away by him several times.

If it weren't for the fact that the ring battle had a protective shield that strictly limited the power and couldn't use weapons that would affect the audience, he would have smashed the opponent's main armor into a pile of scrap metal.

It's Shi Ji's own problem that can't even deal with this kind of mecha.

Shi Ji was not as powerful as those people thought.

Sheng Yi closed his eyes forcefully. He couldn't calm down at all. Until now, his whole body was still about to explode due to the strong unwillingness brought about by anger and frustration.

He has violated school rules three times this semester. If he is given five warnings in a single semester, the college will be judged as not meeting the requirements and he will be expelled from the school.

He could no longer cause trouble in such a public place.

"Come back with me." Sheng Yi stood up straight and spoke hoarsely.

Shi Ji held on to the somewhat deformed driver's seat. He had regained some strength and supported his body with both arms to stand up straight again.

Sheng Yi didn't look at him and jumped off the wingman.

Shi Ji was about to follow, but was stopped by the security officer on the side.

"...Classmate Shi," the safety officer said, "If you leave the ring now, you will be in danger."

The arena is a public battle area and is the place most strictly controlled by school regulations. Even if Sheng Yi is mad, he cannot attack Shi Ji in public.

Even for those few pushes just now, if Shi Ji wanted to pursue it, he would have given Sheng Yi another verbal warning.

Just now Sheng Yi was hurling bad words at their professionals, but Shi Ji interrupted. The security officer noted his feelings: "Your current condition doesn't look good. If necessary, you can apply for isolation protection."

After the arena match, the highlights of the battle will be replayed.Shi Ji is the best observer in the academy. This is the first time he has failed in a battle. Both the instructor and the audience are paying attention to the detailed playback on the big screen.

Once it is discovered that Shi Ji's strength has declined due to an old injury on his leg, the academy will never let it go.

Shi Ji stopped and raised his head.

He suffered new injuries when he crashed. His camouflage training uniform was pulled open by Sheng Yi, and the white shirt underneath was stained with deep and shallow blood red.

Shi Ji seemed to be unaware of these injuries. His expression was very gentle, and a smile appeared in his clear eyes because of such friendliness: "Thank you."

The security officer didn't expect that he had such a good temper. When Shi Ji nodded seriously and thanked him, he felt a little embarrassed and waved his hand quickly: "No need..."

Sheng Yi's mecha roared impatiently.

Shi Ji followed the sound and looked over.

Sheng Yi stared at him: "Shi Ji... you like hanging out with trash, don't you?"

The security officer's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Classmate Sheng——"

"I didn't talk to you." Sheng Yi was sitting in the mecha's cab. His eyes were condescending and fell on Shi Ji. "If you don't go back with me, you don't have to go back."

Shi Ji's movements paused slightly.

He raised his eyes, his face looked even whiter than before, and the end of his gentle eyes trembled unconsciously.

…

Sheng Yi suddenly had a cruel idea.

He knew that taking care of himself was the task left to Shi Ji by his father.

Shi Ji's nature is to complete the mission. For Shi Ji, not being able to go back with Sheng Yi means that the mission can no longer be completed.

Sheng Yi rarely threatened Shi Ji with this kind of thing - he was really mad this time, because because of Shi Ji's mistake, he had just missed the opportunity he wanted most.

He couldn't help but want to do something, letting Shi Ji experience this desperate frustration for once.

Sheng Yi suddenly laughed.

Instead of running fifty kilometers with heavy weights and practicing fighting with him for three hours, he thought of a more effective punishment.

The police said that even though Shi Ji was stranded on a desert island, he still tried his best to contact the outside world, send out distress signals, and even tried to swim back.

Even if it costs his life, Shi Ji will complete the mission.

Shi Ji's tone fluctuated slightly for the first time: "...Xiao Yi."

He propped himself up and wanted to walk over, but as soon as he took a step, he was pinned to the spot by the pain in his left knee.

Sheng Yi's mecha retreated in front of his eyes.

"Classmate Shi." The safety officer on the side quickly stretched out his hand to support Shi Ji, "Your injuries are serious and need to be treated..."

Shi Ji shook his head slightly.

Due to the stimulation of pain and blood loss, his body was shaking slightly, and blood slowly spread on his clothes.

He still looked at Sheng Yi.

"Since you like hanging out with them, you don't have to go home." Sheng Yi said, "Just repair mechas with them and cook for others."

Before Shi Ji could react, the security officer on the side already showed sullenness on his face: "Sheng Yi! If you attack the logistics professional like this again, we will file a formal complaint——"

Sheng Yi said in a mocking tone: "Did I say something wrong?"

The security officer's face turned red with anger, he gritted his teeth and fell silent.

"Take him back and hand him over to you, Senior Zhan, to see if he is suitable for growing vegetables or raising fish."

Sheng Yi said: "When he figures it out, I will pick him up again."

The security officer snapped: "He is your observer!"

There are no course arrangements after the final exam, and students are free to choose whether to leave school. Sheng Yi can go home and enjoy peace and quiet, and of course he is not afraid of other people's comments.

Shi Ji was the number one observer in the academy. Due to his decline in strength, he was thrown by his own mecha operator into raising fish in the logistics department.

The atmosphere in the military academy has always been that the strong are respected. If something like this happened, what kind of impact would it have on Shi Ji?

Sheng Yi didn't care.

His gaze was firmly fixed on Shi Ji, and he finally saw a vague change in the face that was always unfazed by favor or humiliation.

He couldn't yet tell what those changes were, but the incident itself finally gave him an extremely bad pleasure.

He is Shi Ji's mission, and his mission is Shi Ji's life.

——He wanted to see how long Shi Ji could survive if he kicked him out of his home?
