Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang and the team had left the place. They decided to tactically retreat. Lucas was shot with a stun bullet and was unable to move for the next ten minutes. Who knows the people from the Battle class found out and charged in their location?

Lucas was being carried by Shi Lang and said, “Dude that kick hurt a lot.”

Jane was running along with them, and she heard the sound. She said, “Who asked you to play dead? You could have just stood in front of them and died like a man.”

Lucas only felt a twitch on his eyebrow. They moved and hid inside the forest. Tim sat on top of a tree, monitoring the situation from the cover. He had spent all his mind on acquiring equipment that would help him hide and monitor. He gave up any defense armor completely.

Shi Lang had told him that those who hide and attack from the shadows, put down their guard once they get defensive. The lack of instincts makes it harder for them to be alert to their surroundings. Thus the boy had picked up stealth over the defense. He looked in a direction and said, “Lang, tango approaching.”

Shi Lang and the rest were taking a break to catch up on their breath. He asked, “How many?”

Tim said, “One.”

Shi Lang dived down the tree and steadily landed on the ground. He said, “I will take him on. Mark the target.”

Tim replied, “Roger.”

The people all wore a mini radar on their wrists. Tim had a piece of monitoring equipment that allowed him a higher range. He marked the target and the location was shared with everyone in the team. Such features were complicated to use but they were all tech nerds. They could pass the system limits and overhaul it with a few tricks.

Shi Lang got the location of the target and ran through the forest quickly and silently. The boy was like a ghost. The radar showed that the target was moving through the forest, one kilometer away from him. Thus he began the charge.

…

Stevenson raised his eyebrow. Aries and Rackham also nodded. In the overall scoring Technological team was leading. They had taken down three assaulters, rescued their teammate. The other thing that gave the technology class high evaluation was the use of terrain and resources. They had an army consisting of different classes and sub-classes in the mix.

The other thing that impressed the judges was the traps that Shi Lang and his team had set on the way. Igor saw this and clenched his fist. He stood up and wanted to go out of the room when he heard Stevenson speak, “Instructor Igor, where might you be going. The exam had become interesting.”

Igor replied, “I need to use the toilet.”

Stevenson said, “Very well. Take your leave.” however, his eyes were not as kind and calm as his voice. He tapped his finger on the table and watched the figure of the instructor. He said, “Major Rackham, I will have to trouble you to check if the simulation hall is fine. Do not let anyone approach the place at all.”

Rackham stood up and after saluting the man he walked out of the observation room. He did not understand what this old guy wanted him to do, but since he was asked to monitor then he will do it. The major left the room and Rosa cast a gaze at the screen. Both her palms were clasped together, filled with sweat.

She was anxious to see the result.

…

On the other side, Shi Lang arrived in the vicinity of the target. He stood next to a tree and leaned his ear onto the bark of the tree. As a three-star Terran, the boy had hypersensitivity so he could sense the slight tremors in the bark of the tree. The assaulted gear was heavy and this gear made the footsteps of the enemy heavier, making the vibrations travel through the ground and to the tree.

Shi Lang stood calmly and converted his aura to the point where if the enemy might overlook him unless he stood in front of him. He was aiming for that and that was what he got. Shi Lang took out his knife from his thigh strap and held it in a reverse grip.

It may be a coincidence or something, but the moment the enemy appeared an explosion sounded, shaking the entire forest. The enemy turned his head away to look in the direction where the explosion came from, giving Shi Lang the most needed opportunity. He rushed at the guy who stood with his back facing him.

However, just as Shi Lang was about to attack, he retracted his hand and jumped up from the ground. The assaulted was not a careless guy, he had not given up his guard and turned around. Shi Lang had sensed his movement coming in and jumped overhead.

He stabbed the knife after a flip, the knife hit the helmet, and the tip of the knife, which looked like a drill, stabbed through the head in one time only. Aries stood up from the chair as he said, “Principal Stevenson, I want this boy under my company as soon as he graduates. Screw the entrance, just tell me his enrollment number. I will groom him myself.”

His agitated reaction made the people surprised they did not expect this calm and sunny guy to yell out like this. Stevenson chuckled and said, “Aries, you have taken a liking to him?”

The commander nodded and said, “I have. This guy was able to predict the reaction of the assaulter. Imagine what he can do if he was given the resources to train himself.”

The rest of the people could not help but nod at the statement. They did not expect the boy to react so fast and take down the assaulter before the other party can even figure out what happened.

One of the faculty members of the battle class said, “The guy taken down was Matthew Miller.”

This sent another shock to the people. Matthew Miller was a top student in the class and ranked among the top ten. His ability was to harden his entire body to the level akin to iron. However, Shi Lang still stabbed through his skull.

Rosa asked, “How did he do it?”

She had less to no knowledge about the battle. Aries replied, “Using the momentum from the charge, he flipped his body into the air. Then gathered all the accumulated momentum onto the tip of the knife and stabbed it through the calvaria. It is the weakest part of the body in normal times. Shi Lang’s knife is a high-grade killing tool, that can pierce through metal like mud if used properly.”

This assessment had brought the people a great shock and the magnitude became bigger and bigger.
