The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Encouragement

This year’s inter-school competition, the Alliance First Military Academy secured the venue hosting rights with their formidable strength, requiring all participating schools within the Alliance territory to report to the First Military Academy. The registration hall was bustling with students wearing various school uniforms. Today was the last day for registration, with less than 30 minutes left until the deadline. Students gathered here were mostly unfamiliar with each other, except for the First Military Academy students maintaining order and providing assistance.

Everyone here was a rival, and no one truly knew or understood each other’s real strengths.

If any school here held the strongest power and posed the greatest threat, it was undoubtedly the Alliance First Military Academy.

As a talent reserve for the Alliance’s Six Great Armies, the First Military Academy annually supplies a large number of talents to the armies. The graduates proved with strength that the First Military Academy deserved its title as the top academy in the Alliance.

Alliance Second Military Academy?

Alliance Third Military Academy?

...

Lanyue Star Military Academy?

These ten schools, ranking in the top 10 within the Alliance, are just like their names suggest — Second, Third, Fourth... competing with the First Military Academy?

Complete defeat.

In every aspect, complete defeat.

Indeed, the First Military Academy is just that strong.

For hundreds of years, the First Military Academy has secured the top position in every inter-school competition with its strength and foundation, living up to its reputation.

Due to the First Military Academy’s external reputation, upon entering the registration hall, people from other schools instinctively felt a layer of inferiority towards the First Military Academy students. Although many were unwilling to accept it, deep down, most didn’t truly believe they could defeat the First Military Academy students.

This may sound discouraging or like intentionally undermining oneself, but!!!

This is reality.

This is life.

Some things, you just can’t deny.

As a result, when the sudden disturbance occurred, a strong student from the First Military Academy easily neutralized a big move from an external student with powerful spiritual power. This scene was shocking for students from other schools.

Strong.

Too strong.

...

Do I really stand a chance competing for rankings against such powerful individuals?

Can... I really do it?

Many wondered, and just as they were trapped in deep self-doubt, the focus shifted to

— an extremely short and delicate-looking girl approaching a boy named He Nu from the Akya Military Academy step by step...

People looked puzzled: ”???”

Who is she?

What’s she up to?

Does she want to challenge He Nu one-on-one?

Or perhaps challenge the strong ones from the First Military Academy?

This girl is overestimating herself.

She’ll probably get beaten up, right?

She’ll definitely end up crying, right?

...

Amid the silence, everyone stretched their necks and opened their eyes, watching the short girl closely, curious about what would happen next:

In full view, Ji You not only showed no signs of nervousness but also remained completely composed. On the contrary, her face was stern, eyes slightly narrowed, with a deadly look with every eye contact.

Then—

Ji You finally reached He Nu. He was shocked to see her amidst the awkward situation, startled, ”Ji You?”

Ji You didn’t speak immediately. She gently raised her hand, tapped He Nu’s shoulder on tiptoe under everyone’s gaze. He Nu was taken aback, watching Ji You slowly part her lips to reveal a set of big white teeth, and she said, ”He Nu.”

He Nu: ”???”

Ji You said, ”Don’t be afraid.”

”...” Connecting the dots to his situation, He Nu felt embarrassed.

Ji You maintained a serious face, ”Those who make the loudest noise are usually the weakest. Only the weak use blustering tactics, understand? He Nu, don’t be afraid, the truth will be revealed on the battlefield.”

He Nu opened his mouth, ”I...”

Ji You continued, ”Remember this— those who wag their tongues and enjoy verbal wins are all losers. If you meet them in the arena, beat them hard.”

With that, Ji You glanced at Li Jiu behind Hero King, the one leading the mockery against He Nu’s group.

Listening to Ji You’s words, Wei Xiaoxiong, Li Jiu, and others’ expressions were indescribable, but He Nu’s eyes lit up, and before he spoke, a girl behind him stepped up, clenched her fist: ”Exactly! The chatterboxes will face us on the battlefield, and we will definitely beat them hard!”

”Yeah!”

”Exactly!”

”Beat them hard!”

Hearing his fellow students’ spirited voices, He Nu lifted his face, looked at Li Jiu and all the First Military Academy students, and said loudly, ”See you on the battlefield!”

”See you on the battlefield!”

”...”

The girls behind He Nu echoed loudly.

With just a few words, Ji You reignited the fighting spirit in the Aky Military Academy students, who had plunged into the abyss of despair!

The First Military Academy is very strong?

Of course!

But!

Our school won’t remain weak forever. We and our classmates have been continuously progressing, never stopping, and with confidence, we’ll surpass the First Military Academy one day!

Now, let us and our classmates face the top students from the First Military Academy and see exactly where the gap lies.

If He Nu felt a bit downtrodden just a moment ago having his spiritual pressure easily dismantled by a First Military Academy student, he now shook off the inner anxiety and reignited his fighting spirit:

— The opponent is strong, absolutely, but it was just a surprise attack; in an actual contest, I have the strength to fight back!

Therefore, I am not weak.

...

With these thoughts, He Nu lifted his face and looked at Wei Xiaoxiong and others, focusing his gaze on Wei Xiaoxiong, ”Dear student, I hope when we meet on the battlefield, you’ll still be this composed.”

After speaking, He Nu turned to Ji You and said, ”Ji You, see you on the battlefield.”

Ji You nodded: ”Sure.”

He Nu was about to step away when he heard Ji You from behind say, ”When I meet you on the battlefield, I won’t hold back.”

He Nu stumbled, almost tripping.

He quickly turned back, ”You don’t worry, if we do meet, I don’t want you to hold back because I’ll beat you hard too.”

Ji You chuckled: ”Let’s wait and see.”

He Nu put away his hammer into the Space Button, immediately leading his team out of the registration hall.

As one group left, the registration hall quickly filled with chatter:

”Who is that girl?”

”Which school is she from?”

”Such audacity!”

”Looks fierce!”

”But—”

”So short!”

...

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Ji the Dwarf, buried among the crowd, jumped: ”Hey! I’m still here, don’t discuss me to my face.”
