Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 175 - 85: Scramble (Part 2)

(Congratulations to the new helmsman "Zhe C??")

A handsome young man quietly walked onto the stage, and all eyes refocused on him.

If we talk solely about fame, Flash could possibly be ranked first because he was the only telekinetic in the room, and his unique combat style was unforgettable.

"Flash, Identity: Interstellar Wanderer, Final Survival Race Ranking: 18."

His identity left the other candidates astonished; being labeled an Interstellar Wanderer wasn’t derogatory, and besides having a registered birth planet, they often lacked a fixed residence; it was mostly those in their thirties with certain abilities who could claim this identity.

Otherwise, the Federation wouldn’t acknowledge it.

An 18-year-old Interstellar Wanderer must certainly have had profound heritage behind him.

His unique origins and abilities determined that Dawn Academy’s attitude towards him couldn’t be the same as towards ordinary candidates.

Dawn Academy was the first to speak up, ranking Flash third in their sequence.

"Dawn Academy offers four annual Federation region travels without destination constraints, free tuition and fees during enrollment, an annual scholarship of 300,000 Star Coins, and B-level assistant librarian rights."

Upon hearing these terms, the crowd was taken aback; these were in stark contrast to the first two candidates, covering all expenses and offering an annual scholarship that surpassed ten years of what other candidates might receive, making the others wonder...

But the person in charge from Dawn Academy simply watched the handsome young man and paid no attention to what others might think.

He believed those offers should be enough to secure him; he had even outbid other academies by several times, though not offering the elite student treatment.

But they still had to reserve that spot for the first and second ranked.

These terms should be sufficient, thought the high-seated supervisor, observing the young man on the stage.

Flash, bearing a consistent smile, merely nodded politely upon hearing the terms but did not respond immediately.

What an appetite!

The crowd was stunned by the young man’s reaction, as the generous offers from Dawn Academy had not secured his commitment immediately; it seemed he was waiting for other academies to make their offers.

A professor from Bonar College glanced at Dawn Academy, thought for a moment, and spoke:

"Bonar College, free tuition and fees during enrollment, two sets of uniforms provided annually for summer and winter, four annual travel expenses of your choice, an annual scholarship of 180,000 Star Coins, and a graduation recommendation from the dean."

The last remark was indeed the real bombshell.

A personal recommendation from the dean, tangled connections with the House of Commons.

That implied a chance of rapid ascent!

Many candidates looked at Flash with envious eyes.

Yet the young man’s face showed no fluctuations, just a nod.

Noticing all these actions, Supervisor He Tian’s eyes brightened, he coughed softly, and began to speak:

"Taoyun Academy provides two annual travel opportunities, an annual scholarship of 80,000 Star Coins, A-level librarian teaching rights…"

These offers prompted some immediate headshakes, evidently just highlighting the generosity of the other two academies.

But Supervisor He had clearly not finished speaking, and the rest of his words almost made people stand up!

"Additionally, Taoyun Academy offers elite student treatment, guaranteed military enrollment! An opportunity to apprentice with Telekinesis Master Qian Jiyu, deputy dean of our academy! For those with excellent first-year grades, an adventure-level Telekinesis Mecha named Courageous will be provided!"

This was astonishing!

Both representatives from Dawn and Bonar Academies looked incredulously at Supervisor He Tian. Are you crazy? How could you make such promises on behalf of your deputy dean?

However, seeing it was the renowned Supervisor He Tian, they relented.

This was a unique, core treatment within the Federation’s recruitment scope, even higher than the elite treatment…

And all this for a young man from Purple Jade Star, a border planet in the fourth Administrative District?

The handsome young man, upon hearing Supervisor He’s proposal, looked up.

As their gazes met, both were similarly mild and silent.

As if exchanging silent messages.

After a long while, Flash spoke softly:

"I choose to follow Master Qian Jiyu."

The turnabout!

In that moment, Taoyun Academy outshone all other institutions.

The representatives from other schools had expressions of disbelief, typical of Supervisor He Tian’s boldness.

Flash continued towards the selection...

Following that, three candidates ranked between 10th and 20th took the stage, with two being snatched by Bonar College and one by Pulan Military Academy.

The intense atmosphere kept escalating as the fate of these candidates became evident, filling those still waiting with even more anticipation for their own futures.

Then, five competitors ranking beyond thirtieth took the stage consecutively—three entered Taoyun Academy, one went to Pulan Military Academy, and one was eliminated.

The number of contestants had significantly dwindled.

Zhang Yuanren, Mu Fan, and Tataric hadn’t taken the stage yet.

Mu Fan didn’t care about what others thought; he only had eyes for Dingchuan Academy.

Strangely, up to this point, Dingchuan Academy hadn’t spoken once, and the teachers behind that big bald head were almost jumping with anxiety.

Was Dingchuan Academy preparing to pick up a pile of "true cannon fodder"?

"Please welcome contestant ’Duke’ to the stage."

"Loser’s group, top twenty candidates, ranked 13th in the final survival match."

The academy knew this information, but many contestants didn’t—ranked 13th in the loser’s group!?

My goodness!

When this candidate revealed a silly smile under the spotlight, even the typically composed Mu Fan grinned.

Duke and Tyrone!

These two, the people he couldn’t forget from this competition.

Seeing this silly contestant, all the supervisors looked at their data cards.

"Strength level 15-16, endurance level… no upper limit found in the competition?"

What an oddball!

Incredible endurance, a human tank?

The person in charge at Pulan Military Academy suddenly stood up from their high chair.

"Elite student benefits! 150,000 Star Coins a year! All costs covered while attending! A Major will personally mentor you until graduation! After graduating, you can choose any military district station!"

This time, Pulan Military Academy took the lead, with that last statement silencing even the heads of the two major capital academies.

There was no way around it; Pulan Military Academy had privileges as the darling of the Military Department.

The naive-looking young man raised his hand to signal he had a question,

"Um… may I ask a couple of questions?"

"Go ahead."

"Can I bring my brother with me?"

The entire place was floored.

Bro, you’re being handed such a great opportunity and you’re asking to bring your brother, as if you’re picking up vegetables at the market?

"Uh… who?"

The response from the person in charge at Pulan Military Academy made those in the secondary selection zone feel like crying, envy wrenching their hearts.

Since when were contestants from the loser’s group so imposing?

This time, Mu Fan chuckled secretly, already knowing whom Duke would mention next.

Zhang Yuanren glanced at Mu Fan with a frown, humph, laughing before even taking the stage, just wait till you see what a true favored child of heaven looks like!

Unfortunately, Young Master Zhang had no idea what Mu Fan found amusing.

Sure enough, Mu Fan’s guess was confirmed.

Duke’s honest voice echoed throughout the venue.

"Tyrone!"
