“An average of Tier 4? These definitely aren't creatures from the outer fringes, right?”
“Why would they attack a Count's territory? Are the magic beasts about to go to war with us?”
“Impossible. If a large scale war really broke out, then more than just this one magic beast tribe would have appeared.”
...
“Correct. I suspect this is likely just a conflict between Amelo and a certain magic beast tribe. However, according to the information sent back, these creatures are fundamentally different from magic beasts. For example... they have no magic core in their bodies, and compared to ordinary magic beasts, they follow the orders of their leaders much more strictly.”
After the female teacher finished speaking, she walked over to the mechanical zergling apparatus and pressed a button.
In the next moment, the massive monster stood up and suddenly swung its scythe claws twice.
The sound of them cutting through the air was clearly audible to everyone. That terrifying weapon, combined with the creature's hideous screeching, filled many students with a sense of dread.
“What a terrifying monster.”
“Was this made to imitate them? If so, that's way too frightening.”
Hearing these people's comments, Xia Jin made a quick estimate and realized that a real zergling was even faster and more agile than this mechanical version.
Linya, on the other hand, wore a look of disdain.
“Next, I will talk about this creature's combat style,” the teacher continued her lecture.
At this point, Xia Jin turned her head and noticed several boys stealing glances at her.
She helplessly massaged her forehead.
The zergling in front of them leaped around nimbly for a while before suddenly flickering forward and swinging its weapon at a student.
“Ah—”
The boy had just let out a cry of terror when he realized the scythe claw had stopped right next to his neck.
“If that is all your reaction speed amounts to, you would already be dead,” the teacher said mercilessly.
“Gulp.”
The student swallowed hard. “Is this the strength of that monster?”
“No, in reality, they are only stronger than this. Most importantly, their speed is incredibly fast, and their vitality is abnormally terrifying. In battle, every single one of them is a soldier who completely fears no death. Therefore, when we fight them, we must never retreat. Once there is even a slight risk of morale collapsing, you will be ruthlessly crushed by them.”
At this point, the teacher pointed to a few people in the class. “You all come up and experience the combat first. I will set the mechanical creature to a level equivalent to yours.”
Letting the students try was partly for training and partly in hopes of finding the zergling's weaknesses through practical combat.
Xia Jin could see that this mechanical zergling was a very accurate imitation.
Unfortunately, as a combat unit of the Zerg, weaknesses basically didn't exist.
Even if they did find a way to counter them, so what? The cost of producing insects was so low, and their numbers only grew. They could pile up and kill the enemy just through sheer attrition.
Soon, several students went up to try.
One boy tried to show off by attempting to destroy the mechanical device. As a result, after struggling for barely ten seconds, he was sent flying by the zergling.
“It seems your combat levels are still far from enough,” the female teacher smiled.
“How about this newcomer? Linya is very strong, and I heard her say Su Li is her friend. Why not let her try?” A girl raised her hand.
Meeting the girl's gaze, Xia Jin felt a hint of hostility.
She had to admit the girl was quite pretty, but she seemed jealous that Xia Jin had stolen her spotlight.
Beside her, Linya used the mental network to send Xia Jin a message: “That girl has always thought she was the prettiest in class. She's never gotten along with me.”
“I see.”
This time, having met someone a hundred times more beautiful than her, the girl's composure was likely crumbling.
All the boys around her were attracted to Xia Jin. How could she bear that?
Regardless, most people who enrolled at this time did so through money and connections. She didn't believe Xia Jin could be that strong.
If someone could be this beautiful and possess amazing combat power, the world would be too unfair, concentrating every advantage into a single person.
“Very well, let us see the new student's strength,” the teacher said, reaching out an inviting hand.
“Fine.”
Xia Jin didn't mind.
Her body was at Tier 5. She might look like a delicate and weak girl on the surface, but defeating a zergling... especially an incomplete version, was incredibly easy.
A minute later, the two sides stood face to face.
Whoosh—
At the teacher's command, the zergling's scythe claw swung out.
Boom!
A massive sound erupted.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the beautiful girl lifted her leg and stomped down, pinning the scythe claw directly under her foot. The ground collapsed with a thunderous roar under the terrifying force, spiderwebbing with countless cracks.
“Hiss—”
Everyone gasped in unison, drawing in so much cold air they practically contributed to global warming.
“So strong.”
“Is this girl a mage or a warrior?”
“This is a magic class!”
No one expected such a delicate beauty to solve the creature in front of her with such a violent method.
One had to remember that even if it was an imitation, this mechanical construct was a solid Tier 4.
Some boys swallowed their saliva. What a pity... a midi skirt! They could only see her calves and a portion of her thighs, but even so, it was still magnificent. Those legs in black silks were simply too much.
Such a slender and beautiful girl, yet such a wild fighting style—countless hearts were racing at this moment.
Even Xia Jin herself felt the scorching gazes fixed upon her.
She didn't care. She would have to get used to it sooner or later anyway.
“You...”
The teacher had never expected such a scene. After a long moment of shock, she still didn't know what to say.
