Although Qin Yue had already made a decision, Reina’s existence was unknown to others except for the other four members of the squad so it was inevitable they had to hide her when they returned.
Qin Yue took out his communicator and connected it to Ling Ru and the others.
“Brother Qin Yue, have you made a decision?” Li Yanyan asked in puzzlement.
Qin Yue nodded faintly and continued, “Yes. I’m going to bring her back to the mobile fortress. However, I haven’t figured out the identity of this little girl yet, so I’m going to hide her existence. Do you have any objections?”
Ling Ru and the others had already been prepared. No matter what decision Qin Yue made, they would support him.
Therefore, when Qin Yue finished his speaking, they did not hesitate.
“Qin Yue, we will follow your lead.” Ling Ru nodded firmly.
“Don’t worry, Brother Qin Yue. We promise that only a few of us will know about her.”
Li Yanyan, who had originally supported bringing the little girl back, was even happier when he heard that Qin Yue’s decision would be made.
Even Tang Lin, who was initially hesitant, had agreed immediately.
“Brother Qin Yue, everyone will listen to you.”
Seeing that the rest of them had agreed, Qin Yue immediately put away his communicator and said to Reina.
“Get into my mecha first. I’ll bring you with me.”
As he said this, Qin Yue carried Reina into Sky Hunter’s cockpit.
In the cockpit, Qin Yue had already piled up some mecha maintenance equipment, leaving only the pilot’s seat vacant.
Now that there was one more person, it could not help but be a little crowded there.
Due to the lack of space, some physical contact was inevitable between the two.
Whether it was in his past life or now, Qin Yue, who had never had physical contact with a woman, could not help but blush slightly.
As for Reina, she was only a 15 or 16 year old girl.
Before this, she had never had much contact with a man. Both her cheeks immediately turned red as an apple.
As if to ease the awkwardness, Reina asked carefully with her mind.
“After this, will I be living here?”
“I still can’t verify your identity, so I have no choice but to hide you here when we return. Although it’s a bit crowded, I’ll remove all this equipment away when we get back. It’ll be much more spacious.”
Saying that, Qin Yue activated Sky Hunter and prepared to return to the mobile fortress.
As soon as Sky Hunter moved, Reina lost her balance, and her whole body fell on Qin Yue’s.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose,” Reina said shyly as she blushed.
“It’s fine,” Qin Yue scratched his head and responded awkwardly.
As the mecha was controlled by Mental Strength, it did not affect Sky Hunter’s movement.
Two hours later, Qin Yue’s squad safely returned to the mobile fortress.
Coincidentally, during the half a day Qin Yue and the others were out, the other six teams had familiarized themselves with the environment and went out to hunt Alien Beasts one after another. They returned to the mobile fortress together at the same time as Qin Yue and the others.
“Reina, you stay in the mecha. No matter what, do not come out.”
After giving her those instructions, Qin Yue and the other squad members stepped out of their mecha one after another.
…
At that moment, quite a few squads had already started to show off to each other.
“Wang Ke, our squad has hunted down ten Alien Beasts. What’s your tally?”
“Haha, we happen to have more than you. We’ve hunted down a total of eleven Alien Beasts.”
“TCH, only one more than us. However, our squad members and mechas have only suffered some minor injuries. Look at your mecha. One of your mecha’s arms has been torn off by the Alien Beasts.”
The student who mocked Wang Ke pointed at one of their mechas that had lost both its arms and said leisurely.
Hearing that, Wang Ke’s face darkened slightly as he defended himself.
“Isn’t it normal for injuries to occur in battle with Alien Beasts? At least we didn’t suffer any casualties!”
Right at that moment, another squad joined in on their discussion.
“Hey, what’s the big deal? Our squad hunted a total of fifteen Alien Beasts.”
“Moreover, all of our mecha are unharmed.”
“See that? Those are the cores of the Disaster-level Alien Beasts we hunted down. There are a total of fifteen of them!”
Just as they were showing off to each other, Wang Yangming leisurely appeared in front of everyone.
When everyone saw Wang Yangming appear, they all shut their mouths.
They were afraid that Wang Yangming would accuse them of arrogant behavior. However, they were thinking too much. Wang Yangming did not have the time to care about these things.
Besides, some internal competition would be better for their growth.
“You sure know how to pick the time, all coming back together. Then, each of you can give your respective reports!”
Seeing that Wang Yangming did not have any intention of criticizing them, their faces once again filled with the joy of victory.
Then, they reported their results for the day one after another.
“Teacher Wang, our squad hunted down ten Disaster-level Alien Beasts.”
“We hunted down twelve of them but one of our mechas was damaged. However, the mecha can still be repaired, so it’s not too bad.”
“Teacher, our squad hunted down fifteen of them, but there were no injuries or casualties.”
“…”
Soon, one squad after another reported on their respective achievements.
Among those squads, the lowest number of Disaster-level Alien Beasts they had killed was nine.
The highest number had reached twice that amount at eighteen Alien Beasts.
In the blink of an eye, six out of the seven squads had finished their reports, leaving only the last squad who happened to be Qin Yue’s squad.
However, Qin Yue did not step forward to report. Instead, Ling Ru, who was in charge of statistics, stepped forward to give their report to Wang Yangming.
“Teacher, we have killed a total of 39 Disaster-level Alien Beasts…”
Before Ling Ru could finish her words, the surrounding students who heard this number immediately showed a surprised expression.
“Hiss, 39 Alien Beasts???”
“This, is this really something that students can do?”
“Abnormal, that is simply too abnormal. Our squad only has nine, and theirs numbered more than four times ours?!”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Subconsciously, they compared their squads to Qin Yue’s.
In an instant, they felt as if their achievements so far amounted to nothing!
