Chapter 113 Lessons
But this reckless and self-righteous brat needs to be taught a lesson. Praise can be given slowly, or someone else can give the praise. But as an elder, he has to teach her a good lesson, otherwise she might think she's right and become smug, making the same mistake again next time, and then she might not be so lucky.

"I think you should worry about yourself first. Do you know that repeatedly overdrawing the mental energy of someone who is not fully awakened can affect their next awakening period? Knowing your own situation, why did you recklessly rush back into the forest to risk rescuing people? Driving without a license... You two are quite bold, and quite lucky to be alive. You didn't even die from this, huh?" Stark sneered.

Jiang Hui hadn't expected the reckoning to come so soon. In fact, even Jiang Hui herself, looking back on what she had done not long ago, the various risky actions and the oversights she had knowingly committed, truly feared for her life.

Hillman is just a kid, which is understandable, but is she? Jiang Hui knew that she had made no fewer mistakes in this matter than Hillman; she just had the advantage of being more mature at her core.

She didn't dare refute Stark's words at all, because what he said was the truth. If she were in Stark's shoes, she would probably be furious to see her junior do such a thing.

"I just haven't received any rescue personnel from the school yet..." Jiang Hui couldn't help but mutter a defense in her own voice.

“You must be extremely cautious when making any choice without knowing the full story. You should understand that you should never blindly trust what others say, no matter what. Sometimes, even a small choice can be fatal,” Stark said in a deep voice to the still bewildered girl.

Although this time things unfolded by a series of unexpected events, progressing smoothly and seemingly effortlessly, with a host of oversights ultimately leading to a happy ending, who can guarantee such good fortune all the time? What if next time she encounters someone with malicious intent to deceive her, and she falls for it?
So although using this incident as an example may not seem very convincing, Stark still seized the opportunity to teach the other party a lesson, hoping that the other party would have more of their own judgment in the future.

Jiang Hui deeply resonated with Stark's words. Because, judging from this incident alone, wasn't it a perfect, readily available example?

Hillman was probably genuinely kind-hearted, but his kindness was based on his naive thinking. He lacked a clear understanding of himself and simply did what he wanted to do.

Not only that, he even boldly lured another person into the trap to help him accomplish this seemingly impractical task. That person was Jiang Hui.

The problem is that Jiang Hui, who is essentially an adult, actually fell for it. It's not that she lacks judgment, but rather that she was blinded by the situation and a momentary impulse.

So it's not really anyone else's fault that she was scammed; it was entirely her own fault for not thinking things through and falling for the trap.

Even though the two managed to save their team leader through some incredible maneuvering, the incident still left a deep mark on Jiang Hui's heart.

Looking back now, the most terrifying thing about it is that she acted like a fool, completely lacking judgment and being led by the nose by a young boy. It was as if she had lost her intelligence, completely driven by impulse, and failed to utilize her normal adult thinking.

When the other person got to this point, she was completely speechless and felt somewhat ashamed.

Stark knew the child was still young and hadn't even received formal training; it was already quite good that she handled the situation this well. The fact that she acknowledged her mistake proved she was a smart person. Oh well, she could teach her properly later.

He said to Jiang Hui, who had her head down, "Alright, I know what happened. You stay here and rest. After Physician Lu Jing examines you tomorrow morning, you can go back to your dormitory to rest. You don't need to go to training tomorrow either; you can resume training after receiving news from the school."

Jiang Hui nodded in agreement, somewhat bewildered, and watched the other person leave the tent nimbly. Only then did she realize that the questioning was over? It seemed like nothing had been asked. Could it be that the other person had just come to check on her condition?

In fact, Jiang Hui's feeling was right. Stark had come specifically to check on her condition, and it just so happened that she had woken up at this moment, which led to their conversation.

After leaving the temporary tent area, Stark summoned the soldiers stationed nearby and instructed them to be careful of the surroundings before leaving the temporary rest area and heading towards the conference building in the center of the campus.

It was late at night, or rather, close to dawn, but almost all the teachers and resident officers at the school were still awake. They had been busy all night, investigating the surrounding area, tracing the source of the Star Beast attack, and compiling a report for the military.

This incident caused quite a stir; two teams were attacked by the star beasts. One team was lucky enough to escape in time, but they were also trapped in the valley. Fortunately, the ant-beasts didn't linger for long and left for some unknown reason. They were only brought back safely by the school's rescue team.

Warrant Officer Mays' squad wasn't so lucky. His squad consisted mostly of students from the general studies department, and the vast majority of them failed the shooting test. Therefore, the squad he led to the finish line was relatively small, making them the primary target of the swarm of Isosulfuron ants.

This seventh squad collided almost head-on with the horde of star beasts, and unlike the previous lucky squad, they had virtually no room to dodge. Then, as everyone saw, Mace, in order to protect these defenseless students, resorted to a desperate fight.

Mace was unfortunately struck by a fatal blow from one of the hidden King-level beasts, hitting a vital spot and nearly dying on the spot.

If it weren't for the students in his team risking their lives to search for him, and one of the freshmen accidentally carrying a vial of live cell biological agent, he probably would have died outside before the school received the news and went to retrieve him.

The other party's condition is very bad. They are still being rescued. According to the famous interstellar medicine theory of the twelve-hour optimal rescue time, if no breakthrough is made in the rescue within two more hours, even if the other party is eventually rescued, there will be residual trauma in the brain, which may eventually affect their future military career.

I just hope he can be stronger, after all, he's still so young.
