As they left the cafeteria, Liao Runing asked, “When will Takeshi Kosakai be buried?”

“The conversation is over for today, and the burial should be possible tomorrow,” Jin Ke said. “The doctors have already stitched up their bodies.”

“We’ll go see them when they’re buried,” Liao Runing said, scratching his face. “It’s not their fault they got infected.”

“Apart from Takeshi Kosakai, I’m not so sure about the other military academy students,” Huo Xuanshan shook his head.

“That injured military academy student from our school wasn’t infected,” Wei San said with certainty.

If so, Ying Xingjue wouldn’t have just been in a daze at the time, but would have ‘fallen ill’ and attacked people.

……

The news came quickly, and the next day everyone knew that Ying Xingjue would be suspended for one match.

Apart from Pingtong Academy’s military students who were extremely dissatisfied, the other military academy students were relatively stable. Their main members were not injured, and their performance in the upcoming matches was stable. The fact that the Imperial Military Academy lost its backbone was definitely good news.

After the message was delivered, the deceased military cadets will remain permanently on South Percy.

This is a military academy tradition; there is no concept of returning to one’s hometown. Where one dies, one is buried.

Military academies spontaneously held memorial services, and only a few people knew that these cadets might have died long ago.

Wei San and their group went over with flowers and looked at the coffins where Takeshi Kosakai and the others were lying. Even though the stitching technique was superb, a closer look still revealed some inconsistencies.

This shows how gruesome their deaths were.

The arrival of Damocles Military Academy students to pay their respects did not cause much of a stir. Whether it was out of politeness or courtesy, no one objected to their presence.

When the main force of the Imperial Military Academy arrived with flowers to mourn, the people from Pingtong Academy were enraged when they saw Ying Xingjue standing at the front.

“You still dare to come?”

“The Ying family can kill people at will, and they can just be suspended for one game.”

“Get out of here!”

Pingtong Academy team members were furious, and when they saw Ying Xingjue bend down to present the flowers, their emotions became even more difficult to calm down.

It wasn’t until Zongzhen Yueren stopped the military academy students from Pingtong Academy behind him and ordered them to be quiet: “Takeshi Kosakai doesn’t like noise.”

The crowd then quieted down.

After offering the flowers, Ying Xingjue stood to the side, gazing at the dead military academy students for a long time.

“Let’s go.” Wei San followed Jin Ke and the others away, turning back to say this to Ying Xingjue before leaving.

Ying Xingjue turned his head to meet Wei San’s eyes, then nodded to Zongzheng Yueren towards Pingtong Academy before leaving.

“If he’s really banned, will the Imperial Military Academy have a commander for the next competition?” Liao Runing asked curiously.

“Yes, there was a 3S-level commander from the previous session,” Jin Ke nodded. “He was on par with us commanders.”

“Then the head coach and the other coach will be competing fairly in the next match,” Young Master Liao said thoughtfully.

Jin Ke shook his head: “Now the strength of each military academy needs to be reassessed. The main commander is one level, but the soldiers…… South Percy has two more Super 3S level soldiers. Our only advantage is that Wei San is a dual-skilled soldier and military engineer.”

“When the command level is equal, the soldiers are of a higher level. The military academies can only focus on the main mecha division. If the main mecha division is destroyed, the troops will be almost scattered,” Huo Xuanshan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Wei San behind them——she was definitely one of their targets, and she was also a formidable soldier.

Other military academies would have to think twice before taking action against Wei San, as they might not be able to defeat her.

“You won’t be playing in the next match.” Wei San deliberately lagged behind a few steps, quickly standing side by side with Ying Xingjue.

“En.” Ying Xingjue nodded slowly, seemingly unaffected by the situation.

Instead, Wei San sincerely said, “That’s good. Anyway, you don’t like competitions, so it’s a good opportunity to rest for a while.”

Ying Xingjue seemed to immediately understand what Wei San meant, and felt a little embarrassed. His long eyelashes trembled slightly: he had watched the replay of what happened at the Rainforest Arena.

Ying Xingjue looked up, about to say something, when Ying Chenghe rushed in front of him.

“Cousin.” Ying Chenghe looked at Ying Xingjue shyly, his eyes filled with admiration and blissful shyness. “I received the mud mecha you made. It’s really beautiful.”
