Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang and Aries rushed forward at each other. People were filled with various emotions as they saw the two mechs charging at each other. When used in the army, the mechs were all equipped with psionic cannons and guns. However, close combat was the only thing that could project the control a pilot had over the machine and the unity they have.

It was a fact that the person sitting inside the machine was in sync with it and could sense the machine as he could his own body, however, it must be noted that the human brain was working at a lot of tasks at the same time. This put a lot of strain on the brain, one slight mistake, and game over.

…

The difference between the two mechs was visible. Aries had noticed that Shi Lang’s mech was faster than his mech. So, he had already developed a strategy in his mind. He did not move at his full speed but waited for the Egg to roll over to his side.

Shi Lang would have been caught in the trap if he was a rookie. The moment he charged forward with the stick in his hands. He noticed the small step taken by the Commander.

Aries controlled his mech and the right arm of the mech slashed the great ax at Shi Lang. The boy timed his charge and deliberately pressed the brakes as soon as the mech completed one step. The attack would have landed if Shi Lang had moved even an inch forward.

The next scene made everyone open their eyes wide. The great ax slashed down but it was a miss. Aries was surprised by this abrupt nullification in Shi Lang’s mech. The boy inside the mech smiled and pressed the accelerator again as the ax missed his mech by half a meter.

Aries wanted to retract his arm when Shi Lang struck directly at his mech’s elbow joint as he stabbed the makeshift staff in his mech arms.

CLANG!!

This clash of metallic surfaces resonated with the heartbeat of the people in the observation center. Jenkins sensed his blood rushing to his head making his face blush profusely. He could not explain what was happening to him at the moment. He had never felt so humiliated in his life. He clenched his fists as he recalled all the scenes where Shi Lang had taunted and looked down on him recently.

While the battle class students were having a complicated and embarrassed expression, the technology class students were all fired up. They did not expect Shi Lang to take the initiative and attack the commander. They all felt as if it was their achievement.

…

Shi Lang stabbed the elbow joint of the red mech in front of him. Egg moved forward and Shi Lang again used his mech’s jumping ability. The mech was in the air, however, the body had turned upside down. The braids on the back of the mech’s head were all hanging down.

While in the air, Shi Lang let go of the stick in his hands and his robotic claws grabbed the head of the red mech. Nobody expected something like this to happen. They never imagined that this boy would be so daring.

Aries was surprised but he was not that easy of a cookie to be dealt the death blow by a kid. However, he did not know that Shi Lang was actually an old relic. He wanted to counter but the boy did not give him a chance.

Shi Lang had the claws designed in a manner where the tips of the claw could latch onto any groovy surface. The neck joint of the red mech had a grove where his claws were stuck. The weight of his mech shifted again as he controlled the braid wires on the mech’s head by neural link.

With a thump, Egg landed on the ground and trapped in his claws the head of the red mech. Aries was overwhelmed by a strong sense of pain as the head of his mech was torn apart. The neural link would make it so that every time the mech was attacked the pilot will sense pain in the corresponding part of their body.

…

The people in the observation center all stood up from the shock they received when Shi Lang’s mech beheaded the Commander’s mech. Jenkins was shivering, his blood was churning from this scene, he was the topper, the ace of the year.

He has always been the ace of any class or group he had taken part in. The sudden change gave him a scar that will stay by his side forever but only he will be able to see it. This scar was burned in the depth of his heart. What happened in front of him was no less than a slap on his handsome face and making him bleed.

As the boy thought and lost control of his emotions, his aura became rampant and the strength that made him stronger became the means of his destruction. The rapid blood flow gave him internal injury and he could not help but cough up a mouthful of blood as he stood in front of his classmates.

The strong pain in his chest made him kneel. The teachers saw this and immediately woke up from the daze. They rushed over to take the boy to the infirmary. The technology class did not pay attention to this scene happening a few meters away from but them. They were all in a daze ever since Shi Lang had jumped up in the air and caught hold of the head of Commander Aries’s mech.

…

Shi Lang did not make much movement after landing on the ground. He was a bit dizzy from the pressure on his mind. The movement he had just performed was not difficult but the weight shifting of this mech had taken a toll on him.

Commander Aries said, “The second round has finished, you pass.” he could not see anything that was happening on the outside as the camera modules and other visual inputs had stopped, however, the communications of the mech were still operating.

Shi Lang replied, “Thank you, sir.”

The communication of the two was heard by everyone in the observation and the student of the technology class broke into cheers. They did not pay attention to the fact Egg had fallen on the ground as the left leg of the mech suddenly broke apart, ending up with the mech rolling down.

The school also had a community for students to interact and a few seconds later a post was made on the platform with a rather hilarious title, “Egg On The Roll.”
