Shi Lang walked inside the locker room and changed his clothes. He put on his school uniform and came out. Amelia stood leaning against the opposite wall, the boy understood she was waiting for him there.

She was about to say something when Shi Lang said, “You can come and talk after the group battle.”

Amelia raised her eyes brows, “Do you not want any help?”

The boy replied with indifference, “The deal was for me to defeat Jenkins Edwards and not for you to help me.”

“You think, I am helping you so that I can back off from my pay up?” asked Amelia. She was surprised, this guy did not say it but in a way, he was looking down on her. She clenched her fist and said, “Listen here…”

Suddenly, Shi Lang snapped his fingers interrupting her. He said, “I do not look down on you and your promise. However, your help is not needed. I can handle things on my own.”

With that said, he did not intend to listen to her and walked away, leaving behind a stunned lady. Amelia Knight was a person who was always met with respect. When has anyone ever talked to her like that? She mumbled, “Shi Lang, you better not fail.”

She also left after flicking her hair.

Shi Lang did not care about Amelia, his mind was occupied by the visit to the principal’s office. He did not know when he trekked his way through the campus with his mind clouded with thoughts. He was trying to speculate what could the principal want with him. He came to a big wooden door and knocked on it gently. An old voice sounded from inside, “Come in.”

Shi Lang pushed the door open slightly and walked inside. He stood took one step inside the office. The place had almost no decoration. A simple modern style chandelier illuminated the office. A couch was placed at the left of the room, while a big table was placed at the rear end of the room.

Behind the table sat a man. The person was old and he wore a formal suit. However, his face did not have any exaggerated wrinkles on his face. The only indication of his age was the head full of grey hair, Shi Lang was surprised but he asked, “You called for me, Sir?”

The man nodded and said, “Have a seat.”

Shi Lang nodded and walked over to the table. He sat down on the chair opposite the man and waited patiently. The old man did not talk as soon as Shi Lang sat down, he gazed at his face for a few minutes before he said, “You intend to contend against the battle class?”

Shi Lang nodded to him silently. The old man asked, “Why?”

The boy took a deep breath and said, “The school does not take any actions when we the technology branch get brutalized. So we have to take an action by ourselves.”

The principal said, “I would like to tell you that it is a way of the school to inspire the students to compete and excel. The frontier is not an easy place and without going to the frontier, the future is just enough to get by.”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “Indeed, I understand that. I do not think if there is something wrong if your propaganda is being achieved.” (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

His voice was calm and his gaze was confident. The principal was surprised. He did not expect this boy to be so witty. However, his method of showing his stance was not ugly. The old man sighed and said, “You know that Jenkins Edwards belongs to the family of the first general of the federation?”

Shi Lang nodded, and the old man continued, “Despite his family, the boy is still narrow-minded and can make sly moves in the dark. Are you not worried about your family and friends?”

“If he did something that he should not. I can also do the same thing. In your youth, you were the rare tech and battle genius. I do not know why you backed off from the frontier and came here, but I know this Principal Stevenson, you also dealt with someone similar to Jenkins Edwards and prevailed.” said the boy in a calm manner.

Principal Stevenson, retired from the military at the designation of Major General. His merits and achievements were enough to get him the title of the first general. However, he suddenly took retirement from the frontier and became the principal of the Federation Star Academy. He was a rare genius, who had both technological and battle skills.

Shi Lang was a cautious guy, and when he cleared the scholarship exam, he had looked up the details of every faculty member. The principal raised his eyebrow and his gaze turned cold. A terrifying aura radiated from him. He asked, “How do you know, what I faced back in the days?”

Shi Lang replied calmly, “The federation is five solar systems big, one can find anything they want to only if they know where to look. Your choice of name, Spykar, the master hacker is quite similar to your code name, Spike is quite similar.”

The old man was shocked now. He could not believe that this brat could dig out the name he used in his youth when he dealt with a person who tried to obstruct him. He also noticed that the boy was not affected by his aura. He asked, “How can you a three-star practitioner avoid my aura?” fre(e)webno(v)el

Shi Lang smiled brightly and said, “Aura is just a mental image. You circulate your blood and make your expressions cold. While doing that your blood radiates energy within. Only when someone looks in your eyes will they be affected by this mental projection of yours. You might think that I am looking in your eyes, however, the entire time, I am looking over your shoulder.”

Stevenson almost wanted to dissect the brain of this guy in front of him. He did not understand how this youngster could pick up the secret of Aura. However, he did not intend to ask, this boy was definitely not as simple as he looked to be. Since he had given him a warning and this person is ready to face what will come at him. He decided to let him be.

He sighed and said, “You can leave.”

Shi Lang stood up from the chair and after greeting the man he left. Old principal gazed at the door and mumbled, “Let’s see what you can do Mr. Shi Lang.”

The boy came back to his class and saw that Rosa was giving them some ideas for the group battle. His arrival attracted a lot of attention from the people. The boy said, “We will be losing the group battle.”

The people all opened their eyes wide. Rosa frowned. Shi Lang said, “They will be coming at us with the intent to kill, and they will overpower us. Any strategy will be wasted in front of brute strength.”

Jane stood up and said, “Lang, you better get us to win or I will kick your marbles to the pulp.”

Shi Lang felt a twitch at the corner of his eyes. He sighed and said, “Head teacher, I will take over from here.”
