Chereads / Tempest of the Steel Mecha / Chapter 55 - Give Some Face

Chapter 55 - Give Some Face

As soon as dawn broke, Li Feng woke up. Unlike aristocrats who suffer from a condition of bed recognition, the steel bed in which he slept was heaven compared to Devil Jin's training. Having had enough rest, a bit of morning exercise was needed to awaken the body.

The 1500-meter track was not empty, as there was no shortage of hardworking individuals in the Yalang A-level military academy. While in ordinary universities, one only needed to study well, in military schools, if one didn't have a strong body, they would end up sitting in an office.

And those who entered Yalang, apart from piloting mobile suits, who didn't want to become a member of an interstellar battleship, even a glorious captain?

Li Feng wore sportswear and jogged at a moderate pace, knowing that making the body more alert didn't require excessive exercise. But why was everyone looking at him?

Was it because his clothes weren't properly fitted? Li Feng looked at himself, and while his hair was a bit messy, it wasn't frightening.

"Look, that's the most mysterious of the five new students who are known as the Five-Day Kings!"

"Yes, I heard that many new students, even the older students, are eager to try him out. This person is too sharp!"

"Indeed, what's most unfortunate is that Zhou Zhi praised him so much, isn't this making him an enemy of all the male students in the school?"

"Under the reputation of being a virtuous man, this person is definitely not simple, but the question is, can he withstand the continuous bombardment? Some are just looking for a show!"

"Yes, look, the other four kings are also out exercising. Yalang is so dominant this year!"

"That's because our school has been falling behind in the competition among the five major military academies in recent years. This time, the principal is determined to turn the tables!"

"Just relying on these few newcomers, I think it's a bit far-fetched. Let's wait and see the excitement."

Except for Tang Ling, whom Li Feng was familiar with, the others seemed to know each other only by name. After Tang Ling and Li Feng met, they jogged together, which made Li Feng greatly impressed by Tang Ling. Although he didn't think it was a flaw, generally, girls like her were quite reserved, or rather affected, fearing that others might mistake her for having an interest in a certain guy and lose face, but Tang Ling didn't seem to be like that.

This made Li Feng very comfortable, and he smiled knowingly. Tang Ling was indeed not like those common girls.

"What are you so happy about?" Tang Ling tied her hair into a ponytail, looking fresh and delicate, the embodiment of youthful sports beauty.

"I'm thinking of you," Li Feng blurted out, sweat, why did he keep thinking of Mark lately?

Tang Ling's face blushed slightly, and she laughed: "Li Feng, you've been hanging out with Mark too much lately. It seems like we need to isolate you two!"

"Cough, cough, right, right, I wholeheartedly support you. Originally, I was a very pure student, but he corrupted me."

Two brothers in this world, at critical moments, if you don't take the blame, who will?

Tang Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter. On this refreshing morning, amidst the Yalang campus, a group of enthusiastic and high-spirited freshmen could see Tang Ling's bright smile, and it gave them a feeling of being in heaven. It's a shame that this smile wasn't meant for them.

"Li Feng, I must say, I'm starting to see you in a new light. I used to think…never mind, let's drop it," Tang Ling said.

"Hey, hey, Tang Ling, you can't just leave me hanging like that. What did you think of me before?" Li Feng was curious. Leaving him hanging like that was just teasing him.

"It's a secret!"

Tang Ling laughed and ran off. In high school, Li Feng had always been like a closed book. He was a quiet and reserved guy. But now, it seems that he's quite the opposite.

During their morning jog, there were naturally a few couples around, but none were more noticeable than Tang Ling and Li Feng. Although they were freshmen, they already stood out from the crowd.

The morning exercise session with Tang Ling and Li Feng only lasted half an hour. When they returned to the dormitory, Li Feng still had to do his weightlifting exercises. Doing it under four times the gravity was enough for him to feel awake. He was very satisfied with his living conditions now, which met all of his requirements. Today, he planned to fill up his study room.

The first class began, and Li Feng, Mark, and Tang Ling weren't in the same classroom. Although they had common courses, there were very few in the first semester, and most of them were fundamental courses for various majors. Li Feng was in the mecha warfare department, Mark was in the journalism department, and Tang Ling was in the command department. Sarta was in the same department as Li Feng, although they weren't in the same class, they often had opportunities to attend classes together.

Honestly, although it was a top military academy, the curriculum was a bit disappointing. The teachers usually started by bragging about the school's glorious history before beginning their lectures. The content was not what Li Feng was looking for. With Devil Jin's training in mobile suit construction and his exchange with Tang Ling, his understanding of mobile suit construction far surpassed that of ordinary students. Moreover, the practical theory being taught was not something the teachers could teach right now.

So…Li Feng's old habit came back, and he fell asleep in class!

The teacher spoke enthusiastically, spitting as he went. Meanwhile, Li Feng, the most mysterious student of the special class, was sleeping below with drool flowing from his mouth. He was on the verge of snoring, causing the surrounding students to glance over in disbelief. If they hadn't known who he was, they would have looked down upon him for sure. After all, the teacher was teaching something new and exciting!

If a teacher were to discover a student sleeping during their first, glorious class of the new semester, especially if that student were from the special class…wouldn't it be a slight against the teacher's teaching abilities?

If it were just an ordinary student, then it could be understood as the student not understanding the content. However, if it were a special student, especially one who had stolen the limelight during the opening ceremony, it would be naked contempt. Sometimes students want the teacher's approval, and teachers also want the approval of their students.

"Li Feng!"

The teacher stopped his lecture and called out as calmly as possible. The surrounding students were already waiting to see the show. No matter how special Li Feng was, offending the teacher would not end well.

"Yes, teacher!"

Li Feng immediately stood up straight, causing the teacher to wonder if he had actually been sleeping.

"Please share your thoughts on the question I just asked."

"The teacher said…I believe that…based on the ninth cycle theory proposed by Chilarski, but personally, I think we could refer to Kras's law and reverse the situation."

In the classroom, only Li Feng was speaking, and the other students couldn't understand a word he said. The teacher understood, but…

In the end, the teacher forced a smile. He…hated geniuses. He couldn't say that Li Feng hadn't been paying attention. After all, Li Feng clearly understood the content he had just taught, and the theories he mentioned were obviously beyond the first year of study.
