The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1099

(Unedited)

…

In the classroom, the classes continued as Teacher Anqing began her lectures. Meanwhile, Qing Joming is showing worried expressions on his face. He feels a bit distressed upon thinking about what had happened. He did not expect that his reckless action and folly created trouble for his friend.

While looking down, and scolding himself in his heart, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Hey… Joming… Is… Isn't that Xin Ja?" one of his classmates sitting behind him said while tapping his shoulder.

Qing Joming showed a faint annoyance in his face as he glared at the guy. Then that guy pointed at the fields outside with his eyes widen in disbelief. Qing Joming suddenly noticed that more and more of his classmates are now looking outside.

He shifted his gaze and what he saw almost made his jaw fall down.

How could he not know what those guys are? They are the team that represents the academy for the Inter-School War Games which is held twice a year.

And those that are in the team represent the strength and capability of the school as a whole. One can consider them as the best of the best in the academy.

In fact, most of the students who are able to join the team are considered top-class adventurers or mercenaries in the guild.

So being on the team would truly be considered an honor.

But what the students could not believe is how Xin Ja got in there in the first place. Qing Joming suddenly shifted his gaze to Teacher Hou Anqing.

"So Xin Ja was not sent to the disciplinary committee but instead in the War Games training program…" Qing Joming thought as if having a hard time imagining that such a thing is possible.

…

At this time, Xin Ja is currently standing on the field with a student beside him.

The one chosen to be his companion is a tall young man with a thin physique. The guy is an attacker, but Xin Ja has no clue what an attacker is?

But what he knows is that he would need to protect the guy no matter what.

He was given twenty paper talismans, and he could do whatever he want with them as long as he never modifies their function or runes.

Upon looking at the field Xin Ja noticed the two opposing sides are holding into a long stick which seems to resemble their weapon. According to what he heard, once one will be hit by these weapons, you will be sent flying.

As he looks at the two aggressive opponents, Xin Ja felt a bit hesitant. Though he is confident of his ability, he did not know if he could overcome them as the two are 3rd level Ki fighters while he is only in the 1st level.

Without the help of trap arrays, he is just a sitting duck if he did not pull everything he has in this battle.

*Whistle!

When the group heard the whistle, everyone immediately sent into action. He could tell that the two opposing students are veterans in these War Games and has a tacit understanding as with just a nod, they immediately knew what they should do.

As for him and his teammate, they just stood there clueless on what to do next.

On the side, the coaches are watching this scene with slight smiles on their faces. Although the general recommended the youth, yet they could not go easy on him, right? In fact, they did not want to youth to be in the team as he looks like a runt and someone who could not be trusted by his teammates.

They could even see the other students looking at this mock battle with sneers on their faces.

"Hah… Did this guy think that he can enter our team because of a recommendation from the General? What a foolish notion. Does he really thinks we are just playing around in here?" someone from the side said with a dissatisfied frown on his face.

"Taiyon and Binxiao might not be the strongest in the team, but they are not bench players either. Meanwhile, Xiaobo might be an attacker, but he is still a bench player. This is truly not a good matchup… Hahaha…"

"Captain Gong truly does not like this kid…"

"Well, let him suffer some setback… Maybe he would grow up to be a better student someday than use shortcuts…"

The students commented on the side, but no one scolded them as the teachers and staff who are assisting the team just showed smiles on their faces. They too thought that Xin Ja is using the general as his backup just to be able to enter the team.

They thought that Xin Ja is a bit underhanded for doing such a thing and should be taught a lesson about doing one's best to be able to attain one's purpose. One should not use their connection to get the glory.

Everybody thought as such, so no one stopped the unfair mock battle.

On the field, Xin Ja is already standing in front of his opponent with only a shield on hand and some talismans.

Although at first he is afraid, yet as he focuses, he soon realized that the thing they are wearing would be able to protect him from harm. It's just a bit uncomfortable, but it would do.

And because of this, the worry in his heart has already left, and it was replaced by a curiosity about these so-called War Games.

He became curious about how it is played and already wanted to know more about it.

As he looks at his opponent, he saw that he is grinning at him as if looking at his prey.

"Hey, kid… Are ready for some beating?" the guy said as he lifted his weapon.

The student in front of Xin Ja is someone who looks like in his 3rd year at Ogden academy. Plus his physique looks a bit studier than the other one.

Xin Ja could only lament his luck when he observe this.

"Do you know that we know a way to beat you up without taking you out of the game… Hehe… This is how we initiate those new recruits or those hopefuls… just like you… Do you really think that it is easy to enter the team? Do you think you can use your connection with the general and his family just to pull this off? I would say you this… there is no way that you can pass this test." The guy said with a sneer.

On the other hand, Su Xiaobo and Go Binxiao are already facing each other.

"Hehe… Xiaobo, you can just consider yourself unlucky this time…" Go Binxiao said with a sinister grin on his face.

"Yeah, yeah… just bring it your best shot!" Su Xiaobo said as he held tight on his weapon.

Go Binxiao and Ji Taiyon's eyes met for an instant and as if with a tacit understanding they began to make their move to set a trap. Taiyon sets Xin Ja's back to be exposed to where Binxiao would be behind him as he faces Xiaobo while they slowly square off.

Suddenly, the two stopped moving and then rushed to attack. Taiyon quickly raised his weapon up and slammed it towards Xin Ja's head who seems to have stopped moving.

"Haha… The kid is already afraid of this? What a loser…" Taiyon thought as his grin became wider.

At this time, instead of attacking Xiaobo, Binxiao suddenly rotated his weapon in the air and swings it to the side of Xin Ja who is standing while facing Taiyon.

"Damn it! Those guys are cruel…" someone immediately commented on the side after seeing the pattern.

"How could they do this to a newbie. That guy even doesn't have a clue about what is happening right now. Loos at him frozen in fear…"

"I can look at this… This would not end well…"

Even the general is showing a worried expression in his eyes. In fact, he directly sent the child to this place because he fully trusted his daughter in many things. And so far she did not fail him in her decisions. She was even able to help him get promoted to being a general. Well, almost everything she suggested was perfect except for her choice of marriage.

Well, that and maybe this… Maybe this young man would be the second thing she failed to see. She might have mistaken his skill for a fluke and just decided to push the poor lad to the fire.

The general could not help but lament what would happen next. But then, after remembering his military training before, he only showed a faint smile on his face.

"This is also good for the lad. It might beat him into a good character…" he muttered to himself.

Everyone who is seeing this scene knew that, even though the student is wearing protective gear, he would still be hurt by the impact and the force of their strike and then he would be flung at a distance and would fall. And that is where the damage would come from.

So they can only describe this move by the two as… merciless.
