Chapter 205: Chapter 205 Embarrassment (First Update)

Oakens immediately smiled at everyone and said,

"Please, everyone!"

The numerous students present rose from their seats and left the auditorium in an orderly fashion.

Oakens himself led the students to the courtyard of the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord Mansion’s courtyard was as spacious as a square, with the ground paved in ancient bluestone tiles, and a flower-shaped fountain constructed in the central area. In front of the fountain, rows of iron stairs were placed for the students to take group photos.

"Turn on the fountain, and we’ll take a group photo in front of it!"

Oakens instructed one of his subordinates.

"Yes!"

The subordinate hurried away.

"Everyone, quickly line up. Oh, and all the award-winning students, stand in the front with your trophies and certificates held in front of your chest."

Vice Principal Fleck, in a very good mood, arranged for the students to line up.

Upon hearing the vice principal’s call, Su Ming headed toward the front of the line. When he reached the very front, Begfin waved and called out to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, come over here."

Su Ming immediately walked over to stand beside Begfin.

Soon enough, the awardees had lined up; the first row stood Vice Principal Fleck, Begfin, Irelia, and Su Ming, four persons in total. The second row was occupied by students like Timi who received the Excellence Award, and the third row consisted of those who had been awarded the Distinguished Participation Prize.

Click!

With the flash lighting up, the photographer called out.

"Done!"

At that moment, Vice Principal Fleck called out to the photographer.

"Could you please take a picture just for us, the Imperial Court Academy?"

"No problem! Just be quick!"

The photographer responded.

"Quick, line up!"

Vice Principal Fleck then called out to everyone.

The Imperial Court Academy students quickly lined up again.

Su Ming was also arranged to stand in the very front.

At that time, Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue walked up to stand on either side of Su Ming, in line with him.

Soon everyone was positioned.

"Ready!"

"1, 2, 3!"

Click!

With a burst of flash, the photographer called out, smiling.

"Done!"

"All finished."

The students began descending from both sides of the stands.

Begfin then said to Su Ming with a smile,

"Su Ming, my junior, we really owe this competition to you."

"Senior, you’re too kind. I only did what I should," Su Ming replied with neither subservience nor arrogance.

"Alright, I won’t go on with the niceties. Here’s my contact, and when it’s time for you to serve, I hope you might consider the Federation Second Corps·Residual Light Army."

Begfin took out a business card and handed it to Su Ming.

"Thank you."

Su Ming accepted it with slight surprise.

"Begfin, you’re pretty quick. Su Ming, you might also consider the Seventh Corps·Twilight Legion."

Oliver also took out a business card and passed it to Su Ming.

Su Ming received it with some surprise.

"Haha, actually, it’s not much different. The First, Second, and Seventh Corps actually all belong to the direct legions of the Imperial Court Academy."

Begfin explained to Su Ming.

"Oh, thank you for the honour, senior. I’ll get in touch if needed," Su Ming replied politely.

"Great!"

Oliver laughed in response.

"I should head back to my class now."

After bidding farewell, Su Ming walked towards Rhein and others.

At that moment, Rhein and the others were gathered together, excitedly discussing the prize money.

"The seniors and sisters are giving us 350,000 Federation credits, and there’s 1,000,000 for the Distinguished Participation Prize, which totals 1,350,000. What do you think, should I buy a First Generation, or save a bit more for a Second Generation Mecha?"

"Of course you should save up, a Second Generation is much better than a First Generation by far."

"That’s true."

...

"What are you all discussing?"

Su Ming walked over with a smile and asked.

"We’re discussing how to use this prize money, but Class President, you don’t have to worry about it. You can buy whatever you want with your winnings."

Everyone said with laughs.

Just as Su Ming was about to reply to them, suddenly a man dressed in the Bikong Academy’s uniform, with black hair and some acne on his face, approached him with a look of resentment and shouted,

"Su Ming!"

Su Ming turned to look at the unfamiliar man and replied with confusion,

"Who are you?"

The man’s face turned an even greener shade, full of immense annoyance, and he said,

"I’m Cao Ran, the one you impersonated!"

"Uh, you’re Cao Ran?"

Su Ming was taken aback and then looked at Cao Ran with an embarrassed expression.

Seeing Su Ming’s reaction, Cao Ran became even more infuriated and said angrily,

"You don’t even recognize me, yet you impersonated me?"

"It was a tactic, out of necessity. Please understand."

Su Ming explained with great embarrassment.

"Ha ha, this guy is the one who got shot while lying down, huh."

...

Rhein and the others laughed so hard at this that their stomachs hurt, with a few of them even dropping to a crouch from laughter.

"You...."

Cao Ran’s entire face turned red with anger, no longer knowing what to say.

At that moment, a short-haired, capable-looking woman dressed in work clothes came over and said to Su Ming,

"Are you Mr. Su Ming?"

"Yes, I am. And you are?"

Su Ming looked at the female staff member in front of him with some surprise.

"My name is Yun Rou. Please come with me; there are some procedures that need your assistance."

Yun Rou said politely.

"Sure!"

Although Su Ming was somewhat surprised, he didn’t say anything more and directly followed the woman.

Moments later, Su Ming, following Yun Rou, arrived in front of a newly-built, tower-shaped building.

Su Ming saw An Ruoxue and Lin Chuyu also standing at the entrance and immediately revealed a thoughtful gaze.

Yun Rou, leading Su Ming, walked up and said with a smile to An Ruoxue and Lin Chuyu,

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come in with me!"

"Okay!"

Lin Chuyu and the other person nodded in response.

Yun Rou then led the three of them inside.

...

At this moment, in an old-fashioned study.

Galcks, the City Lord, was sitting at a desk with three parts of a file laid out in front of him. From left to right, the three parts of the file each had a photo attached—of Lin Chuyu, An Ruoxue, and Su Ming.

He picked up Lin Chuyu’s file and closely examined her personal history.
