Chapter 666: Speculations About the Final Exam
On the first day of the Basic Mecha Driver’s License assessment, only seven students from the 131st Combat Department batch - Shen Changqing, Xuzhou, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Yue Qiyuan, Ji You, and Yu Yi - passed the assessment. Ji You had the highest score among them, followed by Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan, and Yue Qiyuan.
Mu Jianling gave the students three days, with two days remaining. The students were not too anxious, but everyone trained even harder without needing to be pushed; everyone was very conscientious.
Not only did the students who failed the assessment work hard, but also those like Ji You and Shen Changqing who had passed. After the exams, they did not waste any time and took the initiative to train in the training rooms.
Mu Jianling watched this group of students, her icy eyes gradually softening. She said in a gentle tone, "Today’s assessment is over, continue tomorrow, class dismissed."
Upon hearing this, the students all stood still.
Mu Jianling furrowed her brows and asked, "What, why aren’t you leaving?"
Ji You, courageously asked, "Teacher... may we keep the mechs used for the assessment for the time being, without handing them back?"
Usually, everyone trained with castrated versions of mechs, with about only 50% of the functions of real mechs, especially the weapon system of the mech, which although looking intact, lacked actual lethality. Other systems, like the energy system, also only had about half of the capabilities of a real mech, making them incomparable to real mechs.
Though the castrated version had many drawbacks, why still use them? Actually, their biggest advantage was safety! Especially for students like Ji You, who just entered university and were new to handling such large, lethal equipment, these castrated mechs were specially made by the Alliance for students’ safety.
As the students’ capabilities improved, as long as they obtained the Basic Mecha Driver’s License, the permissions to drive mechs would gradually be opened to the students.
...
Ji You asked this question not because she wanted to keep the mech and play with it longer, but to train her mecha driving skills further.
