Chapter 26
While the people inside the monitoring room were shocked by Shi Lang’s performance, they also were taking notice of the other people. The students of the technology group were not all weaklings. Shi Lang had told them to act accordingly and cooperate. His team was dedicated to hunting and luring the strong people.
The examination continued, while some acted in the open, some acted in the shadows. One of the people sneaking inside the shadow was the head instructor of the battle class, Igor. He came out of the monitoring room and walked around the campus in the guise of calming down. However, he was not aware that he has been seen through by the principal.
Major Rackham was also monitoring the instructor. The famed officer had to raise his eyebrow as he mumbled, “Worthy of his title.”
The reason he said this was how Igor was moving around the campus avoiding the surveillance in the school corridors. He followed him for quite a bit and found that Igor was heading to the simulation room. Major Rackham was asked by the principal to check the simulation room. So he did manage to connect the dots.
Stevenson was suspicious of this guy that was why he asked the Major to check on the room. His doubt came true. Major Rackham decided to clean up the place whilst he was here. He changed his track and decided to catch the person in the act.
During the simulation, a teacher can use administrative control and connect with the students. This was done to guide them. However, it can also be exploited by the teacher in such situations. As Igor moved to the simulation room.
Jenkins was also walking through the forest slowly. He was not in the hurry to face off with the people in the technology the reason? He did not think they were worthy of him acting against them. All he cared about was Shi Lang. That boy gave him a threatful feeling. That gaze of the boy as if he could see through him and his mind was getting him antsy.
However, he did not find him because if Shi Lang could not deal with the ‘leftovers’ of the battle class, then what was the point? Jenkins may seem like an arrogant guy but the truth was that he was indeed very hardworking and discipline when it came to his training, however, his attitude towards others was the opposite.
The boy was five years old when he last saw his father. He asked his mother many times but after a couple of years when his mother was on her last leg, told him that the reason his father did not see him was that he lost.
The schooling provided to Jenkins was the ultimate, he was taught to do well and be at the peak of everything he did. When he was five years old, Jenkins competed in a game, similar to the one right now but, the boy lost. His father did not console him but said, “Only the day you stop crying, come to me.”
What the man meant was to not cry over losing but Jenkins thought he was abandoned because he lost. Since then he had become a machine. His only goal was to show his father that he will not cry. However, his father had never asked him to be as such and now he did not wish to see what his son had become.
Suddenly, Jenkins heard a voice in his head, “Kill Shi Lang, he has taken out five people of my class, do you understand Student Jenkins. His position is…”
Jenkins was walking through the forest when he heard this message, he recognized that the voice belonged to none other than his teacher, Igor. However, when he heard the message that Shi Lang had taken down five people he was surprised. He checked the status of his communicator and found that the message was correct. He mumbled, “You bloody insect. You will pay the price.”
He did not get the location of Shi Lang, but he knew what he had to do. With a plan in mind, he moved into the forest.
…
Igor was standing inside the simulation room with his hands cuffed behind his back. He was surprised at the sudden appearance of the shackles. He could not even sense when he was sneaked upon. He heard a nonchalant voice, “For disrupting the fairness of the exam, you are arrested under The Federation Penal Code. You have the right to stay silent, everything you do or say will be used against you in the trial.”
Igor smirked and said, “You think I am afraid of anything? Do not forget that I am a Six-star Terran. I can get away based on my merits.”
Major Rackham did not answer and yanked the latter outside the room. He had already arrived when Igor had come in front of the console, but he waited and let him lay the line. The evidence was concise and only then did he make his move. He pulled the guy back to the observation room where Principal Stevenson was waiting.
…
Shi Lang finished of a target solo and rushed back after rigging the body with traps. On the way, he checked the communicator of his team and found that some teams were engaged with the enemy team while some had already died. He was aware that they cannot avoid casualties completely, so the mental stress was not too much.
He checked the score, the technology class was in a tie with the battle class. The reason was their strategy that made it difficult for the battle class. He suddenly saw one team vanishing from his radar in quick succession and used the communicator to relay a message.
“All teams, this is Alpha, immediate change of plans. The tiger is out of the den. Begin Plan B. Injured are to move to the medics for immediate assistance. Recover and relieve will begin together as well. Move it.”
He received a confirmation and the gears began to spin. Tiger was the code they had designated for Jenkins. Despite the terrible personality of this guy Shi Lang gave him complete respect. He was aware of what can an underestimated enemy do to them.
The people who were watching the exam from outside were all surprised by how quickly the boy had acted. Jenkins was the only guy who would take down his teams out so quickly. His own team also came over to regroup after the command was delivered to everyone.
