Chapter 24: Preparations
Chapter 24: Preparations
Lyca was given a week to prepare before the start of her classes. Because of this, Lyca had decided to gather more information about this school. She had been cooped up in her room for a long time that her information about the families surrounding the Huang Family had been lacking,
"So your dream of having a lazy life is clearly not happening?" Lyca's cousin Tang Ruyi laughed. "I told you that is clearly impossible." As a twenty four year old woman who was in the military, Tang Ruyi had clear and bright eyes. Coupled with her dark hair that was always tied into a tight bun and beautiful long lashes, she could be considered a beautiful woman. On the outside, she was known as a demoness Major who participated in shooting competitions. However, in front of Lyca, she was the funny and sweet cousin who loved to play with her when they were young. Tang Ruyi moved the knight towards Lyca's queen. "This Long Founding School of Elites is actually like a military school. But instead of training you for wars, you are trained to be ruthless in the business world. Most people who come out on the top of this school are now business tycoons." She sneered. "This is a very selfish school for the arrogant elites who think they are better than the military who defend this country. How stupid." Disgust laced her tone.
In response, Lyca let out a deep sigh. "This was because of the current Huang Family's condition." She was completely helpless about this matter. If the Huang Family don't find their peace, Lyca won't be able to achieve her dream either.
"And that cousin of yours? What was her name? Lady Huang Xiaoxuan? Hmph! I am wondering why she is so proud of herself. She is not even very good at shooting targets. How can she even be compared to you!?" Tang Ruyi and Lyca were descendants of the Tang Family whose roots lay in the military. The two actually grew up playing with darts. Well by playing, it meant Tang Ruyi kept throwing the darts and Lyca lying down while appreciating her cousin's talents.
Seeing a woman who was very good with darts was very refreshing for Lyca. Still, Tang Ruyi knew that Lyca was not someone to be trifled with. She might have a lazy ass but she was also very good in self defense using her weird martial arts. Moreover, she also saw her handle daggers before. As the person who could be considered closest to Lyca, she knew that this woman was someone who wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who dared to mess with her.
"Let's not talk about irrelevant people, alright?" Lyca moved her queen and eyed her cousin. "Tell me more about this Long Founding School of Elites." As someone who was considered a military genius, Tang Ruyi's information about everyone else was not lacking.
"Well where would you like me to start? You know the Tang Family has never involved themselves in matters like this. We chose to focus on training and serving the country. As for those people they clearly look down on people who came from military families and think that we are all brutes with no brains. Cousin you really should show those people the real Tang Family genius! Never allow them to trample on you! Hmph! Those people are quite arrogant because of their money! They actually think that they can do everything using their cash? Let me tell you about the Xu Family from the North of the country"
Lyca cleared her throat interrupting her cousin's words. It seems that Tang Ruyi missed her so much, she couldn't stop herself from telling Lyca all the rumors that she gathered on her previous assignment. "Long Founding School of Elites." She reminded.
"Oh! Yes how could I forget? Hehe" Tang Ruyi gave an awkward laugh. "Anyway the exams that will happen in six months. It should be invention and martial arts. In this final exam, you can invent anything under the heavens. The better the invention the bigger the points. Only those people with top points will fight in martial arts. I don't have the details but I am quite sure those Elites are not so smart. They just used their money to pay someone to create something for them! Of course, being rich is considered a skill too! So I am sure that they use their money to pay someone to invent and buy it. Anyway the school does not care about this. You can cheat, you can copy someone's invention as long as you have the capability. As I said this is like the military type survival of the fittest training."
"How irritating." Lyca said. "Checkmate."
"Hmph! You are only making me talk while you think about chess! This is unfair I want another game!"
"I am tired."
"You You are always like this. Whenever you win you always say you are tired so I won't" She made a deliberate pause when Lyca passed her something. "Eh? What is this?" She eyed the glass tube that was sealed with wood. On top of the wood is a small red button.
"Made of compound"
"Speak properly cousin you know I don't understand things like this." Tang Ruyi interrupted her.
"A smoke bomb that will create a big spark capable of blinding the opponent. Especially those wearing night vision goggles. This will not only create a blinding light but will also emit some poisonous gas capable of knocking down a man who is two hundred and fifty ponds." Lyca answered. When it came to her inventions, Lyca was never lazy in her explanations. This was because these things were clearly dangerous. She would not want this cousin of hers to harm herself. "Payment."
"Ah? You will give this to me?" Of course, Tang Ruyi beamed. She knew about Lyca's toys and how each and everyone of them were clearly dangerous but was specifically designed for military personnel like Tang Ruyi. "Thank you! Do you have any more of these? I can buy"
"No." Lyca shook her head. Right now, she was not planning to reveal her secrets to the world.
