Chapter 341: Chapter 311: Fledgling Leaves the Nest (Five in One)

Outside the office.

Su Ming and the others were anxiously waiting for the result, their hearts hanging in suspense. After all, no one had ever done this before, and they didn’t know if Vice Principal Fleck would agree.

Just then, the door to the office opened once more, and Mia walked out with a solemn expression.

Su Ming, Rhein, and the others immediately gathered around.

Seeing Teacher Mia’s grave face, their hearts skipped a beat, and they asked in great nervousness.

"Teacher, how did it go?"

Mia swept her gaze over everyone present, then followed with a radiant smile.

"It’s approved."

"Oh, yeah!"

"Teacher, you’re the best!"

...

In that moment, Rhein and the rest cheered excitedly.

"Alright, don’t just stand there being happy, this is just the beginning. Everyone, back to the classroom!"

Mia looked at the jubilant students and felt even more certain that she had made the right decision.

"Okay!"

Everyone followed Mia to the classroom in high spirits.

...

Classroom of Class 23 in the Teaching Building.

Mia stood at the lectern and scanned the room before saying,

"Let me start by telling you that the difficulty of the group advancement task is quite high, and it’s very dangerous. If something goes wrong, it could be fatal, because this is no different from a military operation!"

"Understood!"

Rhein and the other students replied without a hint of fear.

"Moreover, I cannot take part in this advancement task; you will have to complete it all by yourselves. This will be your first true independent mission."

Mia reminded them with great seriousness.

As they listened to Mia’s words, Rhein and the others tensed up, feeling the heavy pressure, but not one of them stepped back.

"However, you don’t need to worry too much, with your strength it shouldn’t be a problem, after all, I taught each of you!"

Mia had a lot of confidence in her students. As long as the commander wasn’t incompetent and no unexpected accidents occurred, they should be fine.

As her thoughts reached that point, Mia’s gaze involuntarily turned toward Su Ming.

Su Ming, feeling her stare, asked with suspicion.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ahem, no reason! I just wanted to tell you that you will be fully responsible for leading the group advancement task. You must guide them well!"

Mia said to Su Ming after coughing.

"No problem."

Su Ming responded earnestly.

"Right, and you all must follow Su Ming’s orders unconditionally. You have to be united!"

Mia continued to instruct the many students.

"Understood!"

Everyone replied firmly.

"Alright, I won’t say much more. Too many warnings would only make you hesitant! Now, let me take a count, those of you who have a mecha, raise your hand."

Mia addressed everyone.

The next second, half the class raised their hands.

"Those with a Second Generation or higher, stand up."

Mia continued.

Su Ming stood up when he heard Mia’s words.

A quick glance over the class revealed no second person standing, and Mia smiled at everyone, saying,

"It seems you all have First Generation Mechas, and nearly half of you haven’t made a purchase yet! But no worries, I have a gift for you, consider it an early congratulations on your advancement!"

"What gift?"

Rhein and others looked at Mia excitedly.

"I’ll equip each of you with an Iron Guard Mecha, a set of Second Generation Exoskeleton Armor·Rock Steel!"

Mia announced generously.

"Wow!"

"Teacher, you’re amazing!"

...

At once, the entire class erupted with excitement, knowing that a new Iron Guard mecha had a selling price of 50 million, and 50 units amounted to a total of 2.5 billion Federation Coins!

"Okay, you don’t have to thank me. I didn’t pay for this; it was those guys from last night who paid, so it’s what you all deserve!"

Mia replied with a smile.

"But we still have to thank you, teacher. Without you, they wouldn’t pay so much."

Rhein and the others weren’t fools; those people might be rich but not wasteful.

"Alright, enough talk! Get ready now; I reckon it won’t be long before the group task is assigned. Su Ming, once it’s out, you’ll lead your team to the academy’s mission hall to accept the task!"

Mia told everyone.

"Okay!"

Su Ming and the others nodded in agreement.

...

The next day, at one in the afternoon.

Su Ming led everyone to the outside of the academy’s mission hall.

The mission hall was located in the central area of the academy, occupying a building with independent architecture. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The main body of the whole building spiraled up like a white shell, with a very smooth surface absent of any harsh angles and, under the sunlight, the white of the building created differing light and shadow effects.

This building had a beautiful name, The Spiral of Dawn, alluding to the hope that everyone who took on a task here would return victorious.

Su Ming led Rhein and the others, striding through the open doors with purpose.

The whole mission hall was filled with older students; wherever one looked, there were bustling figures, making the hall extremely lively.

Students here were at least second-year students; there was no sign of any first-year students.

As Su Ming and his group entered, everyone in the hall turned their gazes towards them.

In an instant, surprised expressions appeared, and they quietly parted to make way, whispering among themselves.

"They really came!"

"The students from Class 23 are really taking on the group advancement task."

"That’s insane; individual advancement is hard enough, and they’ve opted for a group task. You should know increasing the group difficulty isn’t by a small margin. If there’s any disunity, failure is certain, and it requires real leadership and talent from the one in charge."
