The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 228 Discussion
"We've finally come this far. I thought they'd probably just make do like this, since even without the advantage of a formal team, they could still sweep the entire military competition field with their individual abilities," Instructor Tan remarked, looking at the four of them together.

"How could it not have an impact? The advantages of forming a formal team are quite strong. The three-time retention rate alone can give the team the greatest chance. Even if those few individuals are capable, there's no guarantee that nothing will happen. It's more appropriate to form a formal team."

"So now the few teams that are more competitive on the field are all official teams. It's probably not just a simple shooting competition anymore, and the situation may change."

"Who knows who this new student is..." This was a question raised by an older class instructor whose number was near the end of the combat individual unit.

"You've forgotten, old man? That's the kid who rescued Warrant Officer Mei Si with Jiang Hui from Class Two last time, I think he's from Class One." A female lieutenant next to him, who should be from the next class, answered quietly.

"They're from Class One, then..."

"Shh-"

The person who received the hint seemed to realize something and quickly stopped talking. They glanced at the people in the front row and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that no one was paying attention.

Yes, Captain Zou in that squad is not someone to be trifled with. I heard he comes from a powerful family and has a notoriously short temper, rarely restraining himself. I'm just an ordinary second lieutenant; I don't want to work with someone with such a fiery temper.

“Those are Captain Zou’s students.” Captain Lin Qi observed for a moment and recognized Hillman. Then, the other party found the corresponding ranking by name… He did have a ranking, but it was relatively low. Among the remaining contestants, this result was not particularly outstanding.

He couldn't help but sigh: "They're too late to team up. Several promising young talents have already teamed up with other teams."

Although considering the current situation on the field and predictions of what will happen next, Captain Lin Qi also believes that it would be better for Jiang Hui and his team to form a formal team as soon as possible, so that they would be able to compete with the other teams.

However, judging solely from the team's overall level, their choice of Hillman, who is not particularly outstanding in any aspect at present, as the fourth member seems somewhat hasty and does not give them much of an advantage.

Moreover, their fifth member is still undecided, making the team's future uncertain.

Captain Lynch wasn't mocking or trying to put anyone down; it was simply the truth. In competitive sports, the rules are that brutal, and the real battlefield is even more so. There's no need for them to hide anything because of someone's background.

Therefore, Lynch's words were almost equivalent to saying that Hillman's abilities and potential were insufficient and could not compare to the other three members of the team.

However, this didn't bother Captain Lynch. He had previously given less-than-favorable comments to Jiang Hui, Huan Xian, and many other students who performed well in the competition; one more Hillman wouldn't make a difference.

However, his words took on a different meaning when heard by others, becoming quite unpleasant to hear.

"...I think that student named Jiang Hui is probably in even worse shape. In the competition, every second counts, and even the best skills can't withstand the harsh realities. Her leg injury is severe, and there are no effective medicines for treating muscle and bone injuries on the field. Even if she were given twelve more stars, her injury wouldn't heal, which will definitely affect the results of the upcoming matches. No matter how much she can endure, her performance will certainly be significantly impacted."

"That kid from the command department must know this, which is why he's so eager to recruit others. I wonder which sucker will get tricked into joining their team. In the end, everyone will be dragged down. I'll be watching closely," Zou Yi said with a cold laugh.

Teacher Tan was already used to this person's speaking style. As expected, his tone was still excessive, without any politeness, and even unsurprisingly tinged with various fantasies, but the core of his words was correct.

They witnessed the four-person team and, consequently, the entire process of Jiang Hui's injury. Most of those present were seasoned soldiers, able to assess the extent of his injuries with just a few glances. For them, veterans of battle, losing limbs was commonplace, so such superficial wounds were minor. But for a young man who hadn't fully awakened and hadn't yet seen combat, it was a different story, enough to cause him considerable distress for quite some time.

Moreover, the child will have to run around the field with this injury and fight with others, which will likely be just as Zou Yi said, and will inevitably affect her future performance.

It remains to be seen whether Hodge from Class 1 can seize this opportunity to turn the tide and completely level the score against Jiang Hui, who currently holds a significant advantage. Although the possibility is slim, if the opponent can narrow the gap to a certain extent, even a loss in the end would be equivalent to a resounding victory.

Of course, regardless of who wins or loses, these talents will undoubtedly belong to their Beska Intermediate Academy. They hope to properly teach these glimmering little ones, hoping that one day they will become like them, become the glory of Beska Intermediate Academy, and even become the glory of the entire empire.

Teacher Tan looked at the teams on the split screen with admiration, feeling extremely gratified. He realized that there were so many promising individuals in the first grade he was leading, and that their future was bright.

"Hey? Where's Captain Stark? He was just here, how did he disappear so suddenly?"

……

--------------

Jiang Hui and the others had no idea how pleased the teachers outside were with their comments on the screen.

Their movements were temporarily restricted due to Jiang Hui's leg injury.

Yes, Jiang Hui was very ashamed.

With little time left in the competition, her unexpected injury forced even her teammates to remain in place, unable to move.

Meanwhile, the other participants won't stop; they'll continue hunting and killing, just like before, in order to gain more personal points. This will further reduce the number of points available in the arena, making the outcome increasingly unpredictable.

Jiang Hui inevitably became somewhat irritable, but she couldn't go against Huan Xian's wishes. No matter what he said, he refused to leave before the two-week period ended, and even changed her dressing every half-week to check on the wound's healing progress—he cared more than Jiang Hui herself.

This made Jiang Hui feel even more like she was dragging everyone down.

Zhou Xiuwen and Hillman, on the other hand, were quite relaxed. The two of them unceremoniously found ways to rest that they liked, either sitting side by side with Jiang Hui against the rocks, or sitting cross-legged on the ground without any regard for appearances, looking on with great interest at the resources that their new teammates had given them, appearing completely at ease.

It seemed like Jiang Hui was the only one in the entire team who was anxious.

This part is coming to an end, and you can guess how the next challenge will unfold.

P.S.: The process of forming the five-person team was quite lengthy. I used some words to distinguish the personalities and experiences of the characters, who are all important figures in the future. I know my writing style might not be very good and I'm being long-winded... I hope you little angels won't mind.
