The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 285 The dust has settled
"This is... tamed?" Captain Nordby took in the scene, unsure whether to sigh or marvel.

He had previously felt sorry for the team, thinking that it was a great team in every way, but the team had been formed for too short a time and there was no way for everyone to get along well.

Especially someone like Clarence, who joined the team so recently and was forced into it under those circumstances. So he can barely be considered a partner with shared interests, and his teamwork is far inferior to that of the other members. You can tell just by looking at the atmosphere between them.

But unexpectedly, near the end of the match, after they defeated their common formidable opponent, their new teammate, who seemed more proud than anyone else, appeared to be subtly 'assimilated'.

Moreover, besides the all-rounder Jiang Hui, it was Huan Xian who built the bridge—that Huan Xian?
If this guy were really good at getting along with people, he would have done this earlier, and wouldn't have ended up causing such a scene with those brats from Class Two.

Lieutenant Min Hao, the class teacher of the kids, obviously thought so too. He felt he had stopped sighing: "It's not about taming him, that kid has probably figured things out, right?"

Ugh, this is so annoying. Huan Xian is definitely doing this on purpose; he must have been putting up with those guys from Class Two for a long time. Now it seems that he might not understand, but he actually knows everything.

Otherwise, how could someone with his temperament have ended up being treated like a 'public enemy' in Class Two? This guy may seem harmless, but he actually holds himself to a higher standard than anyone else. Perhaps his core is closer to that of Clarence, which is why he can understand him so well.

In short, Huan Xian, that brat, looks down on the students in Class Two, and might even think they're all idiots, so he doesn't bother to associate with them. Look at him, he gets along quite well with people from other classes, and even treats his enemies with a positive attitude. So it's just that the people in Class Two are no good, huh?!
People like Lin Maowu, and those who got into fights but still don't think they're wrong, aren't exactly uncommon. Perhaps the atmosphere and environment created in the class were flawed from the start. What's the point of so much scheming and backstabbing among fifteen or sixteen-year-olds? They're students in the command department, not seasoned veterans in the council.

Command is not about being cunning, manipulating people, or gaining the support of a small group of people.

A true leader should have a broad perspective, possess a certain degree of personal charisma, be able to understand the problems of other members, and, more importantly, adhere to their own principles and stance.

They have a long way to go before they become true military commanders.

Min Hao finally realized that there was a big problem with his class, not just their attitude toward Huan Xian, but also other issues.

What should you do if your child grows up crookedly because you weren't paying attention?
No, he'll have to change his teaching approach. They must have so little time for these conflicting things because they have too few tasks and assignments. He needs to give them more training.

Captain Nordby, who was standing nearby, wholeheartedly agreed, saying he would have to arrange this for his own students as well. He also couldn't neglect the other class; he'd have to talk to Lando about it when he had time.

After all, there are only three classes in their command department, so they naturally need to move in unison.

As for the students who found their training tasks to be several levels higher than during military training after the start of the semester: ...

Nobody cares what they think.

"Bang...bang!" Lin Maowu, who had to maintain this ten-person team with different personalities, was exhausted from the constant back-and-forth with Aris and others, and also had to deal with the enemy, ultimately failed to achieve a true balance.

With Pavla Lava, whom he had been holding close, being hit by Clarence, Team R197 was officially eliminated. Huan Xian, standing nearby, didn't give Lin Maowu a chance either, hitting him almost simultaneously and eliminating the entire R87 team.

The whole process went so smoothly it was almost unbelievable.

However, they might be overthinking it. Lin Maowu is indeed a shrewd enemy with good marksmanship and command skills, but he is too complicated, has too many worries, and is too calculating.

In one of Jiang Hui's past works, there was a saying, "Too clever by half," and an old saying goes, "Cleverness always leads to one's downfall." Lin Maowu is clearly such a person.

If he hadn't personally damaged morale after devising such a complex and morally challenging cooperative approach, maintaining this team wouldn't be so difficult for him now, and he might have been able to hold on for another round and survive until the very end.

It's a pity, there's no going back, and time can't be turned back.

This is also a choice made by Lin Maowu personally. As long as his views do not change, he will face the same problem no matter what, given his personality.

However, that's not something they need to consider right now.

After leaving the old L11 venue, the group embarked on a journey to "clean up" the arena.

They naturally wouldn't specifically look for Lin Maowu and his group; it's not something you can just find whenever you want, and so much time has already passed since that group fled.

Therefore, Jiang Hui and his team were not too fixated on hunting down the two escaped teams. They predicted a direction and pushed straight through L11. Along the way, they encountered some scattered enemies, including remnants of small teams and very skilled lone wolves.

As expected, those who have survived to this day are not easy to deal with. Squad R186 even encountered a significant crisis along the way, but fortunately, they managed to overcome it in the end.

Time passed slowly, and most of the contestants on the overall leaderboard were eliminated. Apart from those they had dealt with, the rest were likely killed by Lin Maowu and his group.

Clarence's points accumulated smoothly, and at the opponent's request, Jiang Hui and the others didn't deliberately let him win; they just let whoever was more comfortable score. Even so, after more than two weeks of hard work, Clarence only needed about four more points to surpass Holly.

However, as the arena became increasingly empty, their chances of encountering Lin Maowu and the others dwindled. They had all initially thought the match might simply end there.

However, everything may have been preordained. With eighteen stars remaining in the match, they finally encountered the R87 and R197 teams, who were still locked in a strange stalemate. They then took advantage of their awkward state of being both wary of each other and forced to rely on one another, and quickly defeated them.

Before the end of the match, Clarence finally reached 396 points, surpassing Holly to take second place.

With the countdown ending for the last star point, this intra-school competition finally came to a perfect close.
