Su Jiameng knew very well that Liu Lanyue was upset about her arriving right on time, so she deliberately twisted the meaning, shamelessly saying, "Punctuality is a virtue, this much I understand myself. I really can’t accept Miss Liu’s praise."

Liu Lanyue was momentarily at a loss for words, then, with a slight humph under her sister’s suggestive glance, she turned her face away, not wanting to look at Su Jiameng’s playful expression. To be honest, Liu Lanyue actually admired the other’s strength quite a bit. After all, to single-handedly ambush the entire Iron Lion Team, if nothing else, that courage alone was worthy of respect. But Su Jiameng... she’s so good at pulling aggro, it’s unbelievably annoying!

Su Jiameng could only shrug helplessly at this. It’s not like she wanted to attract so much aggro; it was a "special skill" passed down from her past life—group taunting without pressure, she can always hold the aggro steady.

"Now that everyone is here, let’s sit down and talk about business." The one speaking was a youth with a scholarly look, slightly thinner than Gu Ningxuan, his cheeks appeared lean, chin slightly pointed, and a hint of blue beneath his eyes... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

If it weren’t for his upright appearance, Su Jiameng would have suspected this guy to be, you know, "overindulgent", lacking energy.

With her arms crossed, Su Jiameng said calmly, "Although we need to discuss something important, I think we should introduce ourselves first, otherwise it’ll be awkward later... for instance, I don’t even know this gentleman’s name."

The young man chuckled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "There’s one thing Lanyue said correctly, you truly aren’t a likable person."

Speaking so bluntly can easily hurt feelings. At least the young man thought Su Jiameng’s words and actions were a bit... too presumptuous. However, given her young age, he saw no need to bicker with a high-spirited girl who readily pulls aggro.

"I’m Xia Youyang, captain of the Iron Lion Team. I missed the chance to compete against Miss Su earlier because I was participating in the competitions between affiliate schools, which I deeply regret. But now that we’re allies on the same team, fighting side by side should also be a good experience." Xia Youyang, the youth with the refined but weak aura, introduced himself with a faint smile.

The woman next to Xia Youyang continued, "Wenren Zihuan, vice-captain of the Iron Lion Team, currently a first-year student at Xilena. I actually came back today to catch up with fellow students from my alma mater, but I didn’t expect to run into a disturbance... I really didn’t plan to participate, but I heard your opponent is a student of Augustus. I’ve never liked those guys, so count me in for the match!"

Wenren Zihuan just enrolled in Xilena this year, having served as vice-captain for many years at the affiliate school. Now she’s in adolescence and yet to find a suitable vice-captain replacement, so she temporarily holds the position.

"And I’m Adrian Losa... I’ve long heard of your name on the Qimingxing Forum, and seeing you in person is a bit surreal..." The third person, a rather youthful-looking boy, spoke up. Judging by his face alone, one might easily mistake him for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, still with a trace of childishness, with a sizable Tuzki doll hanging on his back.

Su Jiameng nodded in agreement, saying, "Honestly, seeing your face and all your gear, I find it quite surreal as well..."

Her discerning eye quickly recognized that the Tuzki doll wasn’t just for show, but actually a miniaturized Energy Cannon. Don’t let its small size fool you; its firepower was almost at the upper limit allowed by the Restricted Mecha Order.

Looking at the youthful boy carrying such a destructive weapon, it just seemed out of place. Adrian was a blonde, blue-eyed boy with a deep-set face, full of boyish charm, potentially a heartbreaker in the future...

To be precise, people from Future Interstellar rarely have awkward appearances, particularly those qualified to become Mecha Masters, each boasting excellent genes, let alone appearance and physique... to say it bluntly, it’s a world that favors the attractive...

"Hey, Miss Su, have you seen me on the Qimingxing Forum? My ID is Naughty Kid, I’ve always been commenting on your posts." Adrian, the enthusiastic "pseudo" boy, exclaimed. However, despite the bright and pure look in his eyes, Su Jiameng didn’t miss the scrutiny and appraisal within them. Eyes, after all, are often more honest than expressions...

This Adrian... there’s no way he’s as friendly as he seems... With a flash of insight, Su Jiameng had already made up her mind.
