Chapter 89: Zerg 23 He’s not generous enough to be nice to those who come to his door…

As the starship landed, a considerable noise was already audible outside.

Amoris guessed that other academies had probably arrived first. A total of twelve academies were participating in this joint military academy exercise for first-year students, so the number of people was bound to be large.

Even before the starship landed, Amoris had already been observing the planet Ekaria through the window. It was a planet composed of deserts and forests, extremely scarce in water resources. He just didn’t know where they would be conducting the exercise.

After leaving the starship, Amoris finally spotted Carlos and Payne in the crowd, who seemed to have been assigned separate rooms due to their status. When he saw them, Payne was close to Carlos, seemingly saying something. They were standing very close, and from Carlos’s expressionless face, Amoris couldn’t tell what they were discussing.

Moreover, Payne happened to have his back to him, preventing Amoris from reading any information from Payne’s mental state.

Carlos, however, was the first to notice Amoris, nodding slightly to acknowledge him. Payne raised an eyebrow at Carlos’s action, turned around, and greeted Amoris.

Thinking that the three of them were teammates, Amoris nodded and walked towards them.

During the time he was walking over, Custer appeared from who knows where. By the time Amoris had navigated through the crowd to reach the two brothers, Custer had already squeezed past the crowd ahead of him and reached their side.

As for the surrounding students, after the initial excitement, they had quickly quieted down, found their teammates, and were now standing in the center of the hall in groups.

Of course, there was another reason why they were able to quiet down so quickly, and that was because they all came from the Empire’s First Academy—

This academy, located on the Imperial Star, mainly admitted the children of nobles and wealthy people, who had visited many strange and magnificent planets since childhood. Moreover, the education they received from a young age did not allow them to do anything out of line or impolite in public, as this would bring shame to them and their families.

Although Ekaria had only been conquered by Arnold’s Second Legion a few years ago, its development was not slow. At least, the necessary facilities were available, such as the large hall they were currently in, which looked like a large hotel.

Amoris subtly surveyed his surroundings.

He also saw many unfamiliar faces in the crowd, who must be students from other schools.

And while Amoris was observing others, others were also observing him.

Or rather, more accurately, they were observing Carlos, Payne, and Custer.

The first two were from the royal family. Even though Carlos was a female, his photos had long been exposed by various media outlets on the Star Network, and his face was well-known. Not to mention Payne, who was a male.

Moreover, due to Payne’s rebellious personality, he frequently made headlines in the entertainment section.

As for Custer, his reputation for gentleness and kindness had spread far and wide for various reasons, and he was the dream male in the hearts of countless people in the Empire. How could he not be popular among females?

Therefore, it was inevitable that such a group would attract a high degree of attention. However, most people’s gazes only glanced at him briefly before secretly sizing up the other three people around him.

Occasionally, a few gazes lingered on Amoris, but only because of his exceptionally striking beauty. Amoris could clearly hear gasps of surprise from the crowd.

He didn’t take these surprised gazes to heart.

Perhaps some people would come to their senses after seeing his beautiful appearance, noticing the slight similarities between him and Custer. Or perhaps some people would wonder why he was teaming up with three such well-known people—

For example, why could he team up with Custer/Carlos/Payne? Which noble family was he from? Was he very strong? What were his relationships with the three princes?

Amoris’s figure and appearance had obvious sub-male characteristics. If he didn’t actively reveal that he was a male, no one would think of it. After all, this joint military academy exercise already had two male princes, Custer and Payne. If Amoris were added, it would be unheard of.

Thinking this way, Carlos, as the only female in the entire group, might actually be the one who got the script of a beloved male lead from another perspective.

Amoris silently took a step back, hiding most of his body behind Carlos, completely ignoring the gazes on him and dispelling their desire to continue investigating him.

A sub-male, in the eyes of the Zerg, in most cases, the combat power of a sub-male is not as good as that of a female.

In their team of four, Custer and Payne were both males, so in everyone’s subconscious, they were beings that needed to be protected, even though Custer’s actual combat ability was not bad.

And although Carlos was a female, he was a member of the royal family. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the unfamiliar Amoris naturally played the role of a “guard.”

And a sub-male—looking at his build, he didn’t seem very strong—could he really take on the role of “guard”?

Many people had a big question mark in their minds about Amoris.

This led to their team becoming the focus of attention during the exercise, like a piece of fat meat. Batch after batch of people kept trying to find Amoris and the others to test their strength.

This was completely contrary to Amoris’s initial idea.

He was here to slack off, not to win the championship.

Some observant teams would also lurk aside, planning to estimate the strength gap between the two sides by having other teams come forward to challenge them. Amoris didn’t bother with these people.

As for those who offered themselves up as easy targets, he unceremoniously sent them all packing.

He wasn’t generous enough to turn a blind eye to provocations that came to his door.

Moreover—

Although he didn’t have any desire to win the championship, he would look down on himself if he lost to such opponents.

After solving another batch of opponents, Amoris deactivated his mech and exchanged glances with Carlos and Custer, who had also deactivated their mechs beside him.

As for Payne, he really couldn’t pilot a mech. So Carlos had to take him into the cockpit together.

The area they were currently in was a thicket of bushes, and the visibility was fairly good, and food was not scarce.

What’s more, there was a steady stream of people delivering food. After a long period of looting, it could be said that the one thing they didn’t lack was food.

Today was the third day of the exercise. If they wanted, they could just sit here and wait for the competition to end.

As for the suitcase that Custer brought, it had already been thrown away on the first day. At first, Custer had tried to convince himself that it would definitely be useful later, but after the torment of the mountain roads, he decisively made a choice.

The area designated by the academy for the exercise was not large, so on the first day, they encountered a team almost every two or three hours, especially since their team was given special attention.

The sun was setting, and it would soon be dark.

Under such circumstances, most of the first-year students would choose to rest in place to avoid encountering some dangerous alien beasts.

This was probably the last batch for today. Thinking this, Amoris walked straight past the people he had just defeated. He opened his terminal and checked the ranking on it.

After three days, less than a third of the remaining teams were left, and the points gap had widened significantly. The points of the first place were more than 10 times that of the last place.

Thanks to the friendly help of the classmates, Amoris and his team were also ranked well, in the top ten.

Seeing Amoris checking the ranking, Carlos came over. After spending a few days together, the two were not as unfamiliar as before. Carlos was not the kind of person who was overly familiar like Custer and couldn’t read the room. Knowing that Amoris was not used to being in close contact with people, he very considerately took the initiative to maintain an arm’s length distance.

He quickly browsed the ranking and, after having a general idea, took the initiative to speak, “Let’s find a more hidden place to rest for the night.”

Amoris certainly had no objection, as he had been thinking the same thing. Payne didn’t speak, which meant tacit agreement. Custer pursed his lips. He had originally planned to say something, but looking at the expressions of the remaining three people, the fatigue on his body surged belatedly, which made him give up his original plan.

After three days of hard work, the four of them had varying degrees of dirt on their bodies. Amoris was fine, anyway, he had seen even dirtier and messier environments before, and he knew how to keep himself as clean as possible in such environments.

Carlos and Custer were slightly dissatisfied, but they quickly accepted it.

Only Payne, wrote his unhappiness clearly on his face. But unexpectedly, even though he had a murderous expression on his face, he did not lose his temper, which was really surprising.

Thinking about it, Payne actually didn’t cause any trouble in these three days. Amoris, who knew Payne’s character in the original plot, was surprised. Was this Payne really the Payne from the original plot?

The two were worlds apart.

Although they wanted to find a more hidden place, the surrounding area was full of low bushes. The four of them had to find a relatively dense place to lie down on the ground.

They did not make a fire. Alien beasts did not fear fire. On the contrary, bright flames might become their target.

Fortunately, the weather was not cold, and the four took turns keeping watch, spending a peaceful night.

The next day, which was the fourth day of the exercise.

Just when Amoris was wondering in his heart, “Has this exercise passed so peacefully?”, danger arrived.

At that time, they ran into another team. The other five people were obviously not in good condition. The clothes on their bodies were torn in several places, their lips were chapped, and their steps were a little unsteady.

Seeing the bulging backpacks on Amoris and the others, they looked at each other and, after discussing it, simply decided to rob them.

In their minds, except for Carlos who needed to be paid special attention to, the remaining three were just cannon fodder.

This idea was further confirmed when they saw Payne following Carlos into the mech cockpit.

Five against three, there was no way they could lose.

But just as they started fighting, a huge figure fell from the sky, smashing heavily on the ground, raising thick black smoke.

A mech had crashed!

The two teams stopped their actions and looked towards the distance at the same time—

They saw a huge figure, covering the sky and the sun. At the moment it appeared, even the sky darkened.

Its whole body was black, reflecting a steel-like reflection. There was no need to think about how hard its “armor” was.

It was unclear what this thing was. The other side had a pair of pincers, four tentacles, and a long tail with sections of hard, protruding exoskeleton. Just imagining it, you could know how painful it would be to hit someone with this thing.

This alien beast was simply a chimera of different creatures.

It was estimated that the culprit that caused the mech to fall from the sky just now was it.

In short, this was an alien beast that should never have appeared in the joint military academy exercise.

Even Amoris, who had fought with alien beasts many times, had never seen such a large alien beast before.

“Monster… It’s a monster! Help—”

One of the members of the team that had fought against Amoris and the others couldn’t help but shout out, his tone filled with trembling and deep fear.

Amoris frowned and looked at the alien beast with a touch of solemnity in his eyes.

Finally, it’s here—
