In the cockpit, Su Li looked at Lightning, whose face was flushed, with some worry. Although the system indicated that the Machine Girl herself had no abnormalities, seeing her appearance still made him a little concerned: "Lightning, can you still hold on?"

Lightning blinked her eyes, looked at the Shield outside, and nodded with a slightly dazed gaze!

"Don't worry, Master! I can do it!"

"That's good. Since there's no problem, let's play with this little friend who refuses to give up together!"

Lightning heard this and nodded heavily!

If Master says play, then it's play! If a little friend isn't obedient, she needs to get spanked!

"Relax! Just leave everything to me!"

The red Lightning started its assault again. From the very beginning, Su Li especially liked Lightning's acceleration. This feeling of being pushed back truly intoxicated anyone who yearned for speed, making it impossible to extricate themselves.

"Faster! Even faster! Lightning, your speed still needs improvement. Don't hold back anymore. You just need to trust me and give yourself to me without reservation!"

Lightning nodded heavily, completely letting go of control over the Mecha, and wholeheartedly providing various numerical parameters to Su Li.

Her speed visibly increased suddenly.

The distance Shield deliberately created only bought herself one second of time!

She shrank entirely behind the tower shield, her eyes fixed on the red figure in front of her without blinking.

Left? Or right?

Completely immersed, she held the shield tightly, forcing her gaze to chase that figure.

Too fast! She's faster than before!

The blue light of the thrusters shone, and she clearly saw Lightning suddenly begin to tilt to the left. Her entire body immediately moved, adjusting the angle of the tower shield and pushing forward with full power.

Shield bash!

The expected collision did not arrive.

The red figure feinted and was already behind her.

Shield wanted to make adjustments, but it was already too late.

The red Mecha lowered its center of gravity, the thrusters continuously spraying to unload part of the impact force, twisted its body, and used the Mecha's own inertia to complete a rotation. The greatsword slammed heavily onto the round shield, making a sound like striking a gong.

It was just that because the round shield was behind Shield, the sound was muffled.

She was struck by a huge force, and the entire Mecha nearly lost its footing, stumbling forward.

But as her body uncontrollably lifted, a giant sword was once again inserted between the shield and her body.

The same position!

It's the same position again!

Shield was both angry and anxious! Twice! She still didn't see how Lightning did it!

Is she really the rumored Lightning? For a moment, she even felt that the whole world had deceived her!

Yes! The whole world is full of liars!

How could a Machine Girl with only thirty braking capability complete a sharp turn and stop so quickly? This is impossible! This is simply impossible! The Lightning in front of her is not lightning r5 at all!

She is an S-Class Mecha wearing the skin of lightning r5! She is a new model she has never seen before!

Otherwise, how could she, one of the few A-Class Machine Girls in the academy, be so wretched!

"Are, are you okay?"

From the cockpit came the panicked greeting of her pilot.

She was not okay! She was extremely not okay!

Her proud defense did not play its intended role. This heavy armor and the round shield on her back actually did not play their intended role.

That round shield was once her pride, yet it was ignored and exploited by her opponent twice, easily sending the sword right in front of her.

If this were a battlefield, she would have died twice!

"Did, did you see how she got behind me?"

From the day she left the factory until now, this was the first time she felt powerless.

In the past, even against an S-Class Machine Girl, she was confident she could contend with them using her defense. But now, Lightning effortlessly threw her pride to the ground and trampled on it.

Shield, having calmed down slightly, turned around and looked at the red figure slowly putting the greatsword back behind her.

That familiar structure, there was only one such unit in the world.

lightning r5!

Is it because of that perverted-like logistics officer?

How is that possible?

He, doesn't he only know how to debug Mecha?

Shield detached Zhang Changping and immediately canceled her deployment.

The shock and unwillingness in her heart overwhelmed her, making it feel especially unbearable.

Large tears rolled down, and her pink antenna drooped. She rubbed her eyes, and with a choked voice, said nothing, turned around, and ran towards the outside of the training ground.

Zhang Changping scratched his head awkwardly, nodded at Lightning, and also ran outside.

Lightning and Su Li watched the two disappear from sight without saying a word.

"Do you think I was a bit excessive? After all, she is still young. Will this leave her with some psychological trauma?"

Su Li touched Lightning's waist and said with some uncertainty.

The latter's delicate body trembled slightly, and her gaze was firm as she shook her head: "Master worries too much. It's best to spank children early! If you wait, they will become rebellious!"

Su Li was greatly shocked upon hearing this!

"You're right! I didn't have children in my previous life, so I don't understand things about children. I have to say, you Machine Girls know so much! You even have parenting knowledge stored away!"

Lightning's face turned red with shyness. For the first time in her life, she felt that reading more miscellaneous books was beneficial. At least Master praised her because of this!

I should read them often in the future! Let's set a small goal for myself first! I'll finish reading "The Story of a Woman and Seven Men" tonight!

However, what the heck is 'previous life'? Does Master mean he has lived before?

Hiss! She inhaled a cold breath. Transmigration stories, she hadn't had time to read them yet! Or perhaps, she should read rebirth stories?

In the training ground, two figures dressed in black slowly walked over.

The smaller figure wore a black lolita dress and held a black paper umbrella. The taller one wore a sharp black suit and large black sunglasses on her face. Her high single ponytail was tied up, making her look very capable.

The two stopped at Lightning's feet.

The girl in the lolita dress slowly extended her fair and slender small hand towards Lightning, her red lips slightly parted, carrying an air of high and mighty Arrogance.

"Now, I have taken my step! Come! My knight, I permit you to discard that trash and kneel on one knee before me, offering your loyalty!"

"Lightning, what are we eating tonight? The cafeteria still has food now, how about we go to the cafeteria?"

"Whatever you want, Master! Also, can I have some lubricating fluid tonight? Not much, just one rice bowl will do!"

Su Li thought for a moment and nodded heavily: "Okay, but it's agreed, until we get the competition prize money, you can only drink one bowl at a time. Otherwise, we won't have money to eat before we even earn any money! Oh, right, I haven't experienced detaching yet! Can you detach me?"

Lightning nodded and instantly enveloped Su Li with her consciousness, sending him outside the cockpit.

The gentle evening breeze carried a hint of warmth. Su Li took a deep breath of the air in the training ground, and only then did he notice the two people who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lightning stood gracefully behind Su Li, her gaze towards the two carrying a hint of inquiry.

Black Feather: ...

Hong Ying: ...

Lightning looked at the two people standing still and, for some reason, immediately felt that they had malicious intentions. She subconsciously grabbed Su Li's arm before opening her mouth to ask: "You two are... here for something?"

Black Feather frowned and looked up at the hand Lightning was using to grab Su Li's arm, as if looking at trash.

"Trash is not worthy of speaking to me! My knight, I have taken a crucial step towards you. Therefore, you must also show me corresponding sincerity."

Su Li: ?

She glanced at Lightning standing beside him, with intense disdain, as if just looking at her for a moment defiled her eyes.

"Discard this trash, form a contract with me, and offer your loyalty. I will, as appropriate, bestow glory upon you!"
