St. Romia Military Academy\'s 18th mech competition finally began to spark to life, the school-wide mech contest officially began on the weekend after two days.

This upcoming competition coincidently coincides with the celebration of the 600th Anniversary of the Empire. As long as one is among the top ten students of the whole school, they can participate in the national finals to represent the school to go to the constellation of Cepheus, it is even possible to participate in the mech exhibition in the ceremonial military parade and personally see His Majesty, Trent.

In addition, all students who have obtained the qualifications to enter the national finals have the privilege of receiving a"C-class mech piloting qualification certificate exemption". The top three players who won the national competition will also be awarded a mech worth more than 500,000 coins!

All of the aforementioned enticing conditions have made this year\'s mech competition so popular that the number of participants has skyrocketed in participation compared to previous years historical recordings. The number of students who signed up for the competition actually exceeded one thousand!

It is naturally impossible for thousands of contestants to be graded in a group competition or in a round-robin tournament. The school authorities have directly decided upon a preselection on the morning of the first day of the competition. All the contestants are numbered in succession, they are then piloted to school to provides C-class mech training inside of a training room to pass through difficult tasks, the players who can\'t pass are directly eliminated!

(TN: This is called a sea election that seems to be specifically used in China, I can\'t really find more information on it more than its a form of public nomination by the masses.)

Throughout the morning, the preselection immediately wiped out more than half of the people, and in the afternoon there were only 200 people left.

The 200 people are then divided into 20 groups to advance to the preliminary round. Each group has 10 players playing for points. The first match is limited to 15 minutes, winning was 1 point, losing meant a 1 point deduction, and a tie would mean no points exchanged. The remaining 4 people would then qualify for the next round of the competition.

*The first day of the competition was as spectacular and swift as sand being swept away through the vast miles of the ocean.

(TN: Can you pinpoint the letter where my brain died? This was my best-educated guess. If anyone else wants to try and have a crack at it then- 第一天的比赛简直像是海里淘沙一样壮观又迅速.)

More than a thousand players started in the morning, and after the morning preselection and the afternoon preliminary games, there were only 80 people left.

The level of these 80 people are naturally of a skillful level. The small-time amateurs have long since been cleanly washed out. More than 60 of the 80 people are students whose main field of study is the mech control department. The remaining 20 are evenly divided from the command department or the engineering department.

- Lin Yuan and Caesar are naturally among the 80 people.

The tasks presented in the preselection were successfully passed, it was all a piece of cake for Lin Yuan. He practices these tasks with Caesar every day. He knows the various scenario scenes in the simulation training room by heart and he immediately receives full marks.

There were no particularly strong opponents in his group that were divided for the preliminary round. Thus, Lin Yuan was the only one in his group to win all nine of his matches with a complete victory and advance into the next round.

The 80 people who entered the semi-final round were re-divided into 8 groups, the first half was separated into groups A1-A4 and the second half was split off into groups B1-B4, each group had 10 people. The previous point system and competition based matches stayed the same and the top 4 players would be able to advance to the next round and then move further on to find the strongest out of the 32 schools.

Afterward, when Lin Yuan had taken a look at the group listing, he unexpectantly found Baker\'s name on the list of names. He didn\'t expect this guy to be able to enter the quarter-finals. Apparently, Baker had also found out, and also specially sent a message saying: "Boss, in tomorrow mornings semi-final, we are in the same group!"

Lin Yuan smiled and replied: "En, I saw in the arena, I will be polite."

Thinking back to when Lin Yuan had slammed down an alpha in 3 seconds, Baker was suddenly trembling in fear- not being polite? Does he mean to slam me down in three seconds, ah?

***

The next day during the semi-finals, Lin Yuan was really not polite.

The semi-final is still integrated at the school and provides mechs. The competition is carried out in a dedicated training room and the mechs are all in the C-class range. The mech type can be chosen by the students. Lin Yuan chooses the humanoid mech according to his usual preference. This type is the most familiar to him and it is also what he is best at playing.

Lin Yuan\'s code number is No. 77, which is divided into the A1 group. His first match is directly against Baker who is No. 198.

Baker chose a black bird type and the two men greeted each other and started the match under the direction of the referee.

As soon as the timing card lit up, Baker\'s mech took off immediately!

He had originally wanted to go around Lin Yuan\'s body and then afterward commit a sneak attack. However, with Lin Yuan recalling the battles between Big Prince and Small Prince in the past few days, he has long since become deeply familiar with the characteristics of various types of flying mechs. Inwardly, he had already been quickly thinking through the direction and route of its take-off. After configuring its direction and route, Lin Yuan unceremoniously opened the ion cannon directly in his arm, before aiming - and then firing!

With a resounding bang, Baker\'s No. 198 mech wings were quickly blown to pieces...

Baker: "......"

Lin Yuan: "......"

Not only did Baker\'s soul not return back, but Lin Yuan did not react at all.

It was easy to win in the preliminary round yesterday. He thought it was because the level of the preliminary round was too low. But today, when he arrived in the semi-finals, why did he win in less than a minute?

After ten seconds of being killed, Baker\'s admiration for the squad leader once again grew a level.

As soon as Lin Yuan exited the cockpit, Baker immediately walked over in front of Lin Yuan to give him a thumbs-up: "Squad leader, you\'re truly too amazing! With your level, you can certainly advance to the finals, ah! Come on, represent our beta and bring us honor, ah!"

Lin Yuan smiled at him feeling somewhat embarrassed and then started the next match.

What makes Lin Yuan even more surprised is that in the next few matches, in almost all of them the battles were resolved within ten minutes. The angle of his shot is incomparably precise, he almost never misses his target. Whether it be catching loopholes, counterattacks, sudden assaults, or sneak attacks, each time he is able to succeed.

Lin Yuan won nine matches in a row and finally aroused some interest from the groups of opponents.

——No. 77, the first-year student from mech command department who likes to use humanoid mechs is actually a beta?

- That beta is too fierce, I still have not fully reacted to how I lost!

——Everyone in this competition, when you face No. 77 in a match, one must, by all means, be careful, that beta is super-ferocious!

Lin Yuan is the name of the beta monster that spread all throughout the school in a single day.

In the afternoon of the same day, there was such a post on the forum inside the school -

"Who said that betas are not sharp, take a look at our command department, our squad leader is the sharpest!"

This provocative and hostile post is undoubtedly a pig teammate - a classmate like Baker is an expert at inciting hostility.

(TN: I\'ve seen this in other novels, but from what I remember it\'s just a videogame terminology for a teammate who ends up working against the team. So while Baker is their classmate, his post is going to have a negative impact.)

Baker excitedly wrote of Lin Yuan\'s victorious and brilliant record of today\'s first round in the preliminary and semi-final matches in the forum post. In passing, the squad leader of the classroom gained many points of popularity. Within a few short hours, he gained a lot of beta adoration and a lot of alpha hatred.

With more and more replies appearing, this post quickly became one of the top ten hot topics of the day.

When Lin Yuan went to the dining hall to have dinner, there were actually a good number of several bold beta senior girls who came to him to see the new hot and buzzing attraction. They spontaneously took the initiative to find Lin Yuan and asked their junior schoolmate out to eat, and conveniently exchange some tips on mech piloting.

——The group of older schoolgirls looked over at Lin Yuan with a meaningful stare and in the end, made Caesar be in an extremely bad mood.

——The scene of Lin Yuan\'s being surrounded by a group of people as some spectacle even further ignited the fury in Caesar in an instant.

Caesar remained calm and collected as he made his way into the crowd, and reached out his hand to embrace Lin Yuan\'s shoulder. He smiled and rather elegantly said, "Sorry to be of inconvenience senior sisters, I have an appointment with Lin Yuan tonight for training, there is no more time for you to further accompany him. Next time I will treat you to dinner."

Just as he had finished speaking, he quickly grasped Lin Yuan\'s shoulder and took Lin Yuan out of the crowd.

Lin Yuan: "......eh?"

When did you make an appointment for training? Didn\'t you say that today would be our day off?

Lin Yuan was forcefully dragged away by Caesar, but there was still no response as to what this was all about.

From the bottom of his heart, Caesar cursed the "pig teammate" Baker a hundred times.

You are gaining a lot of popularity this way, aren\'t you? This popularity is also given to Lin Yuan and attracting a horde of peach blossoms......

(TN: Love interests... Is someone perhaps a bit jealous?)

Although Lin Yuan doesn\'t understand what\'s going on with Caesar, he does understand that Caesar had come to rescue him from being surrounded in the middle of a crowd of unfamiliar schoolgirls, Lin Yuan nonetheless was very happy. He\'s not bothered about Caesar lying about making plans, he immediately followed after Caesar to return to their dorm room.

With the dust finally settling after the first day\'s competition, Lin Yuan went to the bathroom and soaked in a nice hot bath to relax his tense mind. After coming out of the bathroom, he habitually took the medicine from the drawer and took it with a swig of lukewarm water, only to see Hobby was restlessly waiting alongside him, his mouth salivating.

Lin Yuan smiled and put the medicine carefully back in the drawer. He lifted up Hobby and held him as he said, "Are you hungry again, ah?"

Hobby immediately nodded his head with all his might.

Lin Yuan has been training very late every day for the past few days. He often forgets to feed Hobby. Fortunately, Hobby is very smart. He can go to the refrigerator to feed himself, contrary to what one would expect, it was very unlikely that he would let himself be starved.

In any case, he is not planning on training tonight so Lin Yuan held Hobby in his arms and brought him into the dining hall to feed him personally.

When Snow came back, he caught sight of Lin Yuan right in the middle of feeding his housepet, he walked to the dining hall to sit down and touch Hobby\'s ear and asked: "How was the result of the semi-finals today?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Not bad, I\'ve won all of my matches in the semi-final!"

"All wins?" Snow said with astonishment. "The level of players who can enter the semi-finals are not at all low. There are still many brother and sister seniors who are masters of the mech control system. If you can win against them all, then you\'re seriously amazing."

As Snow said so, Lin Yuan\'s heart began to feel a bit strange.

Throughout the entire month, he had been constantly studying the notes that the mysterious master had left for him closely and for innumerable times, they were really helpful. Coupled with this month\'s repeated observations and discussions with Master Small Prince and Big Prince on the Internet, Lin Yuan began to sense his own level noticeably growing.

It was just the result of today\'s competition, but it still made him somewhat surprised.

Originally he thought that there would be a series of twists and turns one after another, but he did not expect that it would go so smoothly with him winning all of his matches.

- It is no wonder that Lin Yuan can\'t figure it out.

Of the people who came to practice with him this month, one is Marshal Rosen who is the commander of the three armed military forces, and the other is the Empire\'s, Prince Caesar. These two are the owners of S-class mechs. How could Lin Yuan who was under their tutelage as their apprentice be weak?

Lin Yuan is talking to the top tier experts of the Empire every day!

The techniques and awareness he developed in training were all a top-notch level in the Empire!

When he ran across a slightly more ordinary master in school, it was an immediate one-minute quick kill tempo......

No way, his starting point was too high.

Of course, Lin Yuan, who knows nothing about this, can only attribute this to -

"Probably my luck is better?"

Lin Yuan smiled and quizzically scratched his head: "There were 8 groups in the semi-final. I was randomly assigned to the A1 group. The players in the A1 group didn\'t seem to be particularly strong, so I won it relatively more easily. It\'s possible that a lot of the experts were put into other groups. Caesar\'s group had a lot of strong people, I heard that there were two third-year seniors from the mech control department. "

Snow, as far as the mech competition is concerned, does not especially understand it. After listening to Lin Yuan\'s explanation, he just nodded along and said: "In any case, you could easily take the first group in the semi-final, shouldn\'t the final ought to be relatively easier?"

"Yes, that should be right!" Lin Yuan said excitedly. "The final is a knockout competition in accordance with the results earned during the semi-final. The first place in the A1 group is faced against the fourth place in the B1 group. Caesar is the first in the B1 group. I am the first in the A1 group. I don\'t have to immediately face him!"

- In Lin Yuan\'s heart, Caesar is a true master.

Lin Yuan regarding Caesar\'s level is far too understanding, it because of his understanding that Lin Yuan is aware of just how scary Caesar is.

The scary part of Caesar is not only his super fast hand speed and his clean and neat technique but also his mental calmness. Regardless of the circumstances, Caesar can calmly grasp the situation and make the most accurate judgment. In the middle of a real match, this kind of calmness is a very important advantage.

Many of Lin Yuan\'s techniques were entirely taught to him by Caesar. Lin Yuan also saw with his own eyes that Caesar was able to connect several extremely difficult moves seamlessly together with amazing speed, seeing it in person made him exclaim in admiration.

Lin Yuan did not have any confidence in winning against Caesar.

Since, in the semi-finals he won first place in the A1 group, his opponent in the final will be the fourth place in the B1 group. For the beginning of the knockout competition, he will be staying away from Caesar, Lin Yuan nevertheless rejoices.

Snow exchanged a few more words with Lin Yuan and then went back to the bedroom.

Caesar just happened to be exiting his bedroom when he saw Lin Yuan feeding Hobby. He walked over and stroked Hobby\'s ear and in a low voice said: "Lin Yuan, tomorrow\'s match your opponent is the top four players in our group. These players are senior brothers from the mech control department. Even though he is the fourth place, his strength is fairly impressive, you mustn\'t underestimate the enemy."

Caesar\'s heartfelt concern makes Lin Yuan feel very warm.

According to reason, everyone was participating in the same competition and should be considered a rival. However, Caesar did not care about this at all and even lent himself for training and shared a lot of his mech piloting techniques. He has been assisting with his training for the past month. On the eve of the finals, he still ran back to encourage him......

This kind of friend is really too loyal.

Lin Yuan couldn\'t help but look up towards Caesar and show his smile. He spoke with a sincere tone: "I know, I\'ll be sure to be seriously prepared. Thank you, Caesar, this month if not for you, I don\'t think I\'d even be able to pass the semi-finals."

Facing towards Lin Yuan\'s grateful gaze, Caesar\'s heart suddenly became soft and shifted into a muddled and shambled mess.

Caesar gazed at Lin Yuan tenderly. "You don\'t have to be so polite to me. I hope that you can advance forward to the top ten."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I will do my best. I also want to go to the national finals and go see Cepheus."

Hobby, who heard "Cepheus" immediately shrank back his body in fear and buried his face in his wide and large ear.

At 9:00 the next morning, the finals of the mech contest finally officially began.

Unlike the semi-finals where the divided groups carried out the matches in the training room, the final is taking place in the school\'s central gymnasium.

The center gymnasiums floor area is extraordinarily large, so much so that it is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 spectators. The space left empty in the middle is also very vast. It is a place specially dedicated to mech competitions and large-scale program performances.

The 32 contestants who were able to advance to the finals are undoubtedly of the highest leveled students in the school. The difficulty of the finals is naturally a few notches higher than the semi-finals by a few levels. At 8:30 in the morning, the entire gymnasium was surprisingly already packed full, and the cheerleaders who came to cheer on for their classmates even pulled up their written slogan placards on the spot, cheering, with their encouraging shouts resounding throughout the whole audience.

Snow came to see the competition. Of course, he wanted to see how Lin Yuan did. Brian was his number one bum beetle and naturally wanted to follow Snow. The two had come to the venue quite early in order to find a good view and the right place to sit down.

At 9 o\'clock, the competition officially started.

The first event is a brief final opening ceremony, the 32 finalists who entered the final round took turns in piloting their respective mechs onto the playing field. Humanoids, birds, snakes, wolves, dragons, spiders...... various colors, and various shapes of mechs were neatly arranged in the huge open space of the central gymnasium. The audience\'s blood was racing, their applause and cheers thundered through the heavens!

In the large radio announcement, the masters of each mech are introduced one by one.

Then it became time for No. 77 to be introduced......

- Contestant No. 77, red humanoid mech pilot, first-year command department, fellow student, Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan heard the voice in the announcement, he operated his humanoid mech and courteously waved his hand towards the audience. Without further effort, with a bright flash, its eyes shone like a lantern and seemed to be greeting the whole audience.

He had chosen a red mech today. The entire red mech bathed under sunshine gives the same impression of being encircled in dazzling flames. The rhythmic flashing in its eyes paired with its greeting gave it both a mischevious and a brimming with a confidance look.

The sound of ear-splitting cheers rang out from the audience.

Snow amidst the audience stands was a little surprised as he said: "Is Lin Yuan\'s popularity that high?"

Brian touched his nose and moved up to Snow\'s ear and said: "Only 6 of the 32 players who entered the school finals are beta. Lin Yuan took the lead in his group and scored the best among the beta. Naturally, he will get a lot of support from the betas."

Snow nodded and said faintly: "Oh. No wonder why when Lin Yuan entered the arena the cheers were so loud, those alphas are always so aloof and out of touch with reality, thinking that everyone else is beneath them, they should let this beta Lin Yuan give them a proper lesson and a beating."

"......" Brian a bit bewilderedly asked: "Do you...... hate alpha, ah?"

Why is it that every time he speaks of alphas he uses this kind of disdainful and contempt ridden tone?

Snow spoke frostily: "You don\'t mean to tell me that what I say is wrong, do you? All alphas think that their genes are superior, betas and omegas lack any consideration in their eyes, especially since some alpha chauvinistic pigs even consider omega as their own personal plaything to be locked up at home. They only think of omegas as no more than a birthing machine...... Forget it, I don\'t feel like speaking about them anymore."

Snow\'s tone is full of disgust as if just mentioning alphas is an insult to his mouth.

Brian was silent for a moment before he no longer was able to resign himself to this, he covertly moved his hand to reside on Snow\'s hand. In order to hear what he wanted, he spoke accordingly: "Not all alphas are like that. I am also an alpha...... Do you see me like that? "

Snow stared blankly for a second and wanted to take back his hand, only to find that Brian had a tighter grip.

Turning his head to meet with his fawning and expectant gaze, Snow\'s heart inexplicably grew soft, with a stiff tone, he said: "You..... You\'re not like them."

Brian\'s pair of eyes lit up. "Where am I not like them?"

Snow thought for a long time and finally came to the conclusion, "You are the one I chose, naturally you are different from those of the alpha chauvinistic pigs."

Brian: "..............."

Although there is no word in this sentence that praises Brian, rather only in his own perspective was there any praise. Nonetheless, Brian is quite happy to be a special presence in Snow\'s heart that is "different from those other alphas"!

***

Just at that time, the audience suddenly burst into a peal of enthusiastic applause, the match had already officially begun.

Such a large space was divided into four fields, East, West, South, and North. The match between the A1 and B1 groups is on the eastern field. The match carries out a scoring system, each attack against an opponent follows a deduction of 1 point, 11 points is the cut-off. The first to reach 11 points will advance to the next round.

Groups A1 vs. B1, first match.

No. 77 humanoid mech, the pilot Lin Yuan is playing against No. 299 wolf-type mech, pilot Danny.

Because it is an unfamiliar opponent, the depths of his strength is simply unknown. Lin Yuan follows the principle of what the mysterious master said - calmly brake, in the beginning, immediately assume a defensive stance.

Danny is a third-year contestant from the mech command department. He obviously underestimated the ability of this first-year beta junior brother. When the match started, he rushed over aggressively with a gray wolf mech.

The sprint speed of the wolf\'s mech was practically as fast as a tornado. The light cannon contained in the mouth is aimed straight towards the abdomen of the humanoid mech, ready to attack. A pair of claws adorned with sharp electromagnetic blades are simultaneously turned on. As the claws are advancing towards the humanoid mech\'s neck, they are suddenly grabbed and thrown off course

Such a fierce offensive approach directly caused the audience to break out in an explosion of applause!

Lin Yuan is surprisingly not nervous at all, calmly calculating the distance between the two of them and began to quickly drawback!

*The two people pursue and attack one another, one falls back, quickly retreating to the edge of the arena. Seeing that the humanoid mech could no longer retreat, the gray wolf mech drew his sword and nearly chopped off the humanoid mech\'s neck- but in a split-second, Lin Yuan unexpectedly maneuvered into a flip 18 degrees to the side. The sharp blade was precisely evaded along with the simultaneous artillery shell attack. The humanoid mech then lifted up its right foot and opened the electromagnetic gear hidden in its toe, and directly swung its leg towards the other\'s abdomen!

(TN: This whole paragraph gave me a huge headache since the author never really specified who was who during any of this so I am taking the opportunity to throw in exactly who is who during all of this lol.)

With a loud roaring bang, the wolf-type mech that was given a powerful kick to the abdomen was immediately thrown back!

The red indicator light on top of the wolf-type mechs head immediately lit up. The judging panel on the large central screen had simultaneously given the score of 1:0!

Lin Yuan, who was in a defensive position, actually got the first point!

At such a scene, the audience was suddenly dumbstruck...

It was plainly obvious that the No. 299 wolf-type armor was aggressively rushing over and the humanoid mech was continuously retreating back. They all looked on as a strike was about to hit its neck, but inexplicably, in the end, rather, it was No. 77 that received the point?

How did he hit his opponent\'s weak point, the audience could barely see everything clearly...

No .77\'s movements were really too fast and the transition of the situation was done almost in the blink of an eye!

The following matches were wholly following the rhythm of Lin Yuan.

Danny suffered through lots of embarrassing losses in the face of his first-year junior schoolmate, his heart began to suffer feelings of indignation and his attacks began to increase in violence. But oddly enough, each time he tries to launch an attack first, Lin Yuan always seems to be able to continuously defend, every time the score goes to Lin Yuan.

1:0...... 3:0...... 7:2...... 11:3.

Lin Yuan won this match with a score of 11:3.

Soon, the competitions of several other arenas were over. The broadcast began to announce the results -

"No. 77 Lin Yuan, successfully advanced to the next round."

"No. 65 Caesar, successfully advanced to the next round."

"No. 198 Will..."

The top 16 promotion will proceed to fight in the second round of the competition.

The second round was once again a single match knockout competition. Lin Yuan was faced against the victor of the B2 group, Will, piloting a black bird.

With precise operation, no arrogance nor a hot-temper in his mentality, a quick reaction ability...... The red humanoid mech operated by Lin Yuan runs across the playing field, it\'s nimbleness and agility simply resembles that of a vigorous human. The audience only sees a burst of a red whirlwind dash in front of them leaving behind a heady blast of wind, leaping, turning, raising a weapon, and bringing the blade down - the connection between these difficult movements is truly too beautiful!

Once again, he effortlessly won this match with a score of 11:5. The applause from the audience almost collapsed the roof!

- Lin Yuan, from the command department is a first-year young beta, he looks to be just like a valiant dark horse that completely unexpectedly made an appearance. He actually stormed right through the semi-finals in the school-wide mech competition of St. Romia Military Academy!

How inconceivable is this?! The audience is practically stunned!

The top eight together with the ninth and tenth place acting as substitutes in case of injuries can represent the school to participate in the national finals. The following top eight knockout competition is actually of little significance. The only difference that it makes is the amount of the scholarship given by the school and the final trophy cup, nothing more.

However, Lin Yuan did not let himself relax as a result. In the afternoon of the quarter-finals knockout competition, he was still earnestly fighting just as concentrated as before.

In the end, everyone who had looked upon Lin Yuan had been shocked until their eyes became lifeless, he had murdered his way into the finals to ultimately take second-place!

As a first-year beta, among all of the difficulties building up all the way to the top, encountering God and killing God, encountering Buddha and killing Buddha. He is simply fierce and unstoppable!

Lin Yuan himself is actually very calm and collected because he still had not fully accepted this result at the moment, his soul has still yet to return.

After advancing to the top eight, he was aware that he could go to Cepheus to participate in the national finals. His manner already began to loosen up. He didn\'t think too much during the afternoon of the quarter-finals. He just tried to relax his mind and try his hardest and enjoy every match. It was completely out of his expectations...... that it would even be possible for him to go this far.

Standing on top of the podium, Lin Yuan\'s head was still up amidst the clouds and mist.

......uh, is this finished already?

......what\'s all this about the runner-up?

Until the moment when Headmaster Belfast personally held the trophy and walked over to confer the award to him, Lin Yuan, whose head was still thoroughly muddled from the competition, finally had his soul returned to him and he humbly received the trophy cup offered to him from the headmaster\'s hand. Holding the heavy trophy with both hands, he was unsure how to properly hold it.

Belfast smiled and patted Lin Yuan\'s shoulder. "You are a good person with great moral integrity, on behalf of the school, go to the Cepheus competition and continue to do your best."

Lin Yuan immediately fell into a proper stance and facing the Headmaster, gave him the standard ceremonial military salute: "Understood! Headmaster! "

***

After the game, Lin Yuan held the trophy while returning back to the dorm together with Caesar.

The trophy of the runner-up is silver, and Caesar\'s first-place trophy is gold. Lin Yuan has been studying the trophy in his hand all along the way. The trophy is shaped like a flying eagle, and the sculpture is highly realistic. The school\'s emblem is also marked on the pedestal.

Lin Yuan said excitedly: "I didn\'t expect this at all, I actually got second place......"

In fact, when Lin Yuan finally faced Caesar in the final, if Caesar relaxed even a little, Lin Yuan could have definitely won the championship.

Caesar did not expect this little guy to go through and temper himself these two days of competition, he actually improved so quickly that he can now draw a tie against him. At this point, Caesar immediately raised his vigilance and dealt with it seriously. He finally won the match with a score of 11:9.

It\'s not that Caesar doesn\'t want Lin Yuan to win this championship, but he knows that if Lin Yuan wins the title as a beta, this unforeseen situation in all of history would definitely incite a lot of alpha resentment. Later on in the school, Lin Yuan would be in an extremely difficult situation.

It is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to avoid a stab in the dark. An excess of the limelight does not bid well.

So as a result, Caesar won this championship, since it is still necessary to keep the masses under control.

If it is said that the shot hits the bird that pokes its head out, then those in the higher years who are not convinced by the results of their senior brothers and sisters can go straight ahead and come to me with their anger.

Looking back at Lin Yuan and seeing him look down with a trophy and studying it carefully, Caesar\'s heart couldn\'t help but soften.

Such an outstanding guy, but because he is a beta, he cannot give off a true lustrous brilliance. Because his family background is too ordinary, he must always be careful and to be on guard against everything...... This world is just too unfair to betas and omegas.

- Fortunately, I am here.

- I will do everything in my capability to protect you. Here in the thickets of thorns of the military, I will be your most solid backing.

Caesar suddenly stopped and said, "Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan, who was still carefully studying the trophy, stopped him in his tracks and looked back at Caesar. He said quizzically: "What is it?"

Caesar smiled and extended his hand outwards. "Come, congratulations, we finally both received a trophy, we can go together to the national finals competition to cheer on each other."

Lin Yuan also smiled as he reached out his hand to shake hands with Caesar. "Let\'s cheer on each other!"

When night fell, the synthetic stars above the vast celestial body cast warm light and created a shadow of the hands of the two teenagers closely woven together. Lin Yuan\'s eyes were filled with excitement and joy. In Caesar\'s gaze, nevertheless, his obliviousness did not change the feelings of friendship and tenderness.

The author has something to say: Last night the number digit was tired to the point of dropping down in the middle of the night.......

Fortunately, the first big volume [Military Academy] finally ended successfully, and the next chapter opened a new volume [Cepheus]

Please continue to support it~ ~

Band together to Xiao Yuan and Snow to demand hugs! Seeking encouragement!

As for BriBri and the Small Prince, these two bum beetles do not need encouragement and will automatically follow closely! Rich Chinese
