Mechanical Hero
Chapter 16
In the lounge.
All the members of Class A had changed into their uniforms and were preparing in the lounge. Bombardment Scorch suddenly walked in front of Midaya Dehisa and issued a challenge to him with a serious expression.
It was rare to see the cold and silent Bombardment Scorch have such a hot-blooded side to him.
Everyone looked over curiously. Most of them were just here to watch a good show. Only Bao Hao was unhappy. To him, Hong Jiao Leng, who he viewed as a formidable opponent, had actually chosen to challenge Cripple Jiu and ignore him. This matter was a great humiliation.
Bombardment Scorch obviously didn't notice Takeshi's fierce gaze. He turned and walked in front of Hikari The Lion. "This time, I can defeat you without anyone's help!"
Hikari The Lion smiled and didn't answer directly. His amber eyes burned with a colorless flame.
Hikari The Lion was undoubtedly arrogant. His arrogance came from his own strength. He was a god in the previous world who could wantonly decide life and death. However, after coming here, he was exposed to many restrictions and had lost to the natives.
That was why he accepted Kota Aizawa's tutoring and crammed in his knowledge of combat. He wanted to prove that even if he belonged to the lawful faction, he was still strong enough to be undefeatable.
Today's stage was the best place to wash away his humiliation!
"The first round of the Xiong Ying Sports Festival is finally about to begin!
All contestants, get ready — start! "
Hikari The Lion unfolded the aircraft behind him and was the first to rush out. Below him, the race track was covered in a layer of ice. Bombardment Scorch had restricted the movements of all the contestants and was leading the race by himself.
"Oh!
Hikari The Lion from Class A is in first place. He has a huge advantage because he can fly. Bombardment Scorch, who is in second place, actually froze the race track. The two of them are leading by a large margin! "
"That's so despicable …" The other students who were lagging behind looked up at Hikari The Lion's back in despair. If this continued, he would get first place very soon.
Flying was a violation of the rules.
What was Xiong Ying thinking?
The huge robots were activated, but they could not reach Lion Shen Hao, who was flying in the air. The first checkpoint was practically non-existent. At this point, Lion Shen Hao was too far ahead. He was about to reach the second checkpoint, and the cliff did not seem to be of much use to him.
"Wow! There's no suspense at all."
"This also loses the competitive aspect. Xiong Ying also lacks consideration ~"
People in the audience started to make sarcastic remarks. Some people even protested by "shushing" the race track. They were just a bunch of people who wanted to watch a good show.
On the broadcast platform, Mike scratched his head and was thinking about how to smooth things over. Kota Aizawa, who looked dispirited, took the microphone and said calmly, "No matter what, this is the advantage of flying. The terrain doesn't seem to be a problem for him at all. However, can Hikari The Lion pass the guards in the air?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of some famous heroes in the audience lit up. They stared at Hikari The Lion and fell into deep thought.
Mike carefully removed the microphone and teased in a low voice, "Don't be so protective of Lion King just because he's in your class."
"That's the truth. Instead of being envious of other people's advantages, it's better to see your own shortcomings. The threshold for a hero license is getting lower and lower. There are all kinds of heroes. You can't even see such a small thing clearly."
Kota Aizawa crossed his arms and shook his head. He stared at Hikari The Lion, who was hovering in the air. "However, Xiong Ying has its own assessment. They won't say that flying is an advantage later."
Just as Hikari The Lion was about to fly past the second obstacle course, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
As if it had sensed something, its body suddenly rose up and dodged the attack by a hair's breadth. Leo Shenhao focused his gaze and finally saw the appearance of the attacker.
It had transparent cicada wings flapping rapidly in the air. Its body was bright yellow, and its joints had mechanical structures. It was a robot that looked like a bee but was the size of a washbasin.
No, that's not right!
The sound that Hikari The Lion heard earlier didn't only come from the robot in front of him. There should be more and more of them — —
He suddenly raised his head and looked directly above him. Many bee-shaped robots were shrouding above him like a dark cloud, leaving a large shadow on the ground.
The red eyes of the robots all locked onto the stiff Hikari The Lion. At this moment, the dark cloud moved!
The blue particles in the aircraft behind Hikari The Lion gathered crazily, and his entire body rushed forward at a relatively fast speed. Behind him, there was a large group of bee-shaped robots that were the size of washbasins, and a thrilling chase began.
The audience who were still indignant earlier had already silently shut their mouths and looked sympathetically at Hikari The Lion who was running all over the place.
The people who suspected that Hikari The Lion had taken the backdoor now began to think, did this student offend the principal or something?
Why is he being targeted so crazily …
Especially when these robots didn't attack the student who was on the stage. It was as if they had identified Hikari The Lion as their target and launched suicidal attacks. This feeling was even more intense.
The others were competing, but this contestant was running for his life …
Hikari The Lion cursed all the teachers who were Xiong Ying in his heart. At the same time, he bitterly used his full speed to create a distance between him and the bees behind him. It wasn't that he didn't try to use his gun to knock down the bees, but it was meaningless to knock down one or two bees. There would still be robots that would chase after him and attack him. The robots would explode upon contact, and the distance between them would be reduced for nothing. The loss outweighed the gain.
Hikari The Lion covered his arm that wasn't attacked much earlier. His uniform was already torn, and there were scorch marks around his arm from the explosion. The pain of his arm being torn apart didn't go away for a long time, but it wouldn't cause any substantial damage to him.
Then, there were only two people who could control the strength of his attack, his flying speed, and the defensive strength of his skin.
Ormet and Kota Aizawa!
Haha!
But I'll deal with them later. Right now, I have to pass this competition first …
The fastest contestant on the race track had already reached the third zone. However, Hikari The Lion was still lingering in the first and second zones. Now, he had to think of a solution, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time.
Hikari The Lion gritted his teeth. His arm changed into the form of an energy cannon. Should I use it?
If I seize the opportunity, I should be able to catch all of them in one fell swoop. But, do I really have to use my trump card here?
The energy consumption is very high. If I need to use energy in the future …
After hesitating for a few seconds, he made up his mind. His arm changed back to its original form, and his whole body stopped in mid-air. He began to sprint downwards. The speed of the aircraft began to accelerate, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a blue light. The bees also didn't hesitate to follow Hikari The Lion and sprint downwards.
"Oh!
Hikari The Lion suddenly accelerated in mid-air. Did he think of a solution?
Huh?!
He's sprinting towards the cliff area! "
Mike's voice soared. Hikari The Lion had already crossed the ground, but he was still accelerating. The sound of him breaking through the air showed his current speed. If this continues, won't he crash into the ground?
Kota Aizawa frowned at first, but then his eyebrows relaxed. He realized Hikari The Lion's plan.
The professional heroes in the audience seats could no longer see Hikari The Lion's appearance clearly. They could only see a ball of blue light disappearing into the ground with a large piece of dark cloud. Then, there was a roar from below the cliff area. The flames of the explosion soared into the sky, and smoke filled the entire area above the cliff area, causing a lot of trouble for some of the contestants who were lagging behind.
"What happened?
Where's that contestant?
Is he injured? "
"Hey, do you want to call an ambulance?"
Mike tried his best to widen his eyes in the broadcast room on the high platform, looking for Hikari The Lion's trace. Finally, with the help of Kota Aizawa, he saw the figure rushing towards the finish line. Coincidentally, a certain green-haired teenager was also about to cross the finish line. He hurriedly pulled the microphone over, ignoring the saliva on the microphone, and shouted excitedly.
"He did it!
Hikari The Lion successfully crossed the obstacle and is now rushing towards the finish line!
But now, Midaya Dehisa is also about to cross the finish line. Who will be first between the two of them?
Audience friends, let's look forward to it! "
The blue flying in the sky and the green running on the ground, who will cross the finish line?
"Young Dehisa, young Lion — both of you have to work hard!" Ormet watched nervously in the broadcast room.
"Dehisa -kun is really amazing."
Chako Reishi clenched her fists silently and sped up her tired footsteps again. He was trying his best, so she had to work hard too!
"Tsk!" Takeshi raised his head to look at the blue light passing by quickly, and the explosive wind in his hands accelerated again.
Bombardment Scorch and Takeshi were evenly matched.
Dehisa gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to look back. He tried his best to run faster, faster!
Hikari The Lion's aircraft had just accelerated to the limit. Even he felt uncomfortable from the high temperature, but he couldn't stop now. He forced the aircraft to move again, faster, faster!
"The results are out, the first is —"
The blue light and Dehisa on the ground passed through the finish line together!
"Eh?
At the same time? "
Mike was also shocked, but this had happened before in the Xiong Ying Sports Festival. After the replay, it was confirmed that the two of them had arrived at the same time. He excitedly announced, "The results are out!
Midaya Dehisa and Hikari The Lion are tied for first place! "
"Ahhhh!"
Warm applause erupted at this moment. This was the reward for the first place. The performance of the two of them had conquered the professional heroes in the audience!
The faces of the two of them appeared on the big screen in the middle. Dehisa's eyes were filled with tears, while Hikari The Lion was in a daze. The former almost fell to the ground after crossing the finish line, while the latter performed a dangerous somersault in the air and hurriedly stopped on the ground. Obviously, they had exhausted their energy.
But what's the big deal about this little episode?
They —
