Chapter 267 Teacher

"ACHOOO!!" General Peter Long sneezed loudly. "Some bastard is talking shit about me."

"Ha! If talking shit about you can make you sneeze, then you would probably have died long ago you old coot. Just admit you're sick and eat some flu medicine! Don't just sit there and spread your damn virus to us!" Admiral Terry Wei laughed at him loudly.

"Yeah. Get the hell out of here, you sick man. I want to enjoy this fight between the Military High Command and the National Mecha Pilot Academy! That flat and emotionless voice sounded very familiar. I wonder if I know her from somewhere?" General Anthony Chang pondered aloud.

"I never fall sick. I never sneeze. I only sneeze when people talk about me." General Peter Long insisted and caused the other two generals to laugh at him.

But as it turned out, General Peter Long was right.

We WERE talking about him.

"HOLY MOLY. She is a spicy one! She actually beat up a General from the Long Family? That's insane!" I shouted loudly in our public chat instead of personal chat with Eliana.

"Huh? From the Long Family? Oh my god. So she beat up General Peter Long?? No wonder she transferred out of the Military High Command!" James shouted in response to my words.

"You bozo. Now you've done it. Why the hell did you reply in public chat? She will find out that we were talking about her and beat us up for sure now!" Eliana Wang was so pissed at me that she actually swung her mecha arm and gave me a punch.

Bang.

And did absolutely nothing, of course.

"Don't worry. I don't think anyone would bother to listen to our conversation." I said confidently to reassure her. "Who would be so uselessly bored and jobless to do such a thing among the group of people who have access to our records?"

I was completely wrong, of course. There was a HUGE bunch of such uselessly bored people, but that's a story for another day.

"So, it really was General Peter Long, huh? The Military High Command is a place for special individuals protected from most common grade laws. But punching THE General of the Army is definitely not one of the laws they are protected from. What the hell, I am surprised that they did not jail her! General Peter Long is NOTORIOUS for being cold blooded and ruthless too!" James continued on excitedly.

"You might as well spill all the details. We've reached this point, if she actually found out and decided to beat you up, she'll beat you up with or without the additional details." Margaret advised her disciple.

"Yes Shi Fu!" Eliana Wang shouted excitedly, pleased at finally getting an order from her new teacher.

Margaret only sighed and kept quiet.

She was probably thinking, " If being her teacher was what it would take to pry that near highly classified information out of that Wang girl, then so be it."

"I don't know for sure if it was General Peter Long, because there's another Long Family General -"

"What? There's another Long Family General? Who? Which division?" The usually laid back and calm Margaret actually turned around and said to Eliana loudly.

"Well done ana, now you've leaked not only one classified information about the Whitefrost Clan, but also another one about the Long Family. Good. Now if they actually go through our conversations, they would probably launch an investigation on how we got these classified info." Elise Wang sighed.

"Don't worry, nobody is that bored and useless." I assured her again loudly. "Please go on Eliana."

"Uh. Right. Hahaha! I forgot you guys didn't know about the OTHER Long Family General. I mean, I have access to SO many classified info-"

"ANA!" Elise Wang was so frustrated that she actually screamed out loud!

"Hmmmmm." Margaret only hmmmed thoughtfully. She was probably thinking how far she could use that "Shi Fu" card to pry all the classified information out of Eliana.

"RIGHT! RIGHT!! BACK TO TOPIC!!" Eliana Wang was flustered at her triple mistake and shouted loudly. "She beat up the Long Family General and then was scouted by Jeanette Wen, the Vice Principal of our National Mecha Pilot Academy! And I don't know what happened, but the Long Family General dropped all charges after that!"

It took me but a single second to realize what happened. She got recruited into the Blood Moon and gained complete immunity from petty charges like beating up a General.

"Holy smokes, so I can beat up Generals freely now?" I remember thinking with not a small amount of glee and creative thoughts flooding my brain.

But we did not go very far into that conversation before this Hillary Whitefrost did something totally crazy.

Upon seeing that all of the thousand something Military High Command Blue Mechas on Steroids freezing with a simple threat from her, she sighed deeply in regret.

"You guys still have not changed. Your cowardice will put me into a hell lot of trouble. All units, fire on their limbs and exact the price for trespassing into the Academy." Hillary Whitefrost said in her emotionless voice.

And with that…

PRATATATATATATA!!

PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW!

BRAABABABABABABABA!!!

All sorts of powerful firing mechanisms switched on and unleashed a hellstorm of bullets and other destructive projectiles and energy beams upon the thousand mechas!

Arms and legs were blown to smithereens as the thousand blue mechas immediately became useless and beat a hasty retreat.

"ABORT MISSION! ABORT MISSION! ABORT OPERATION ORANGE AT ONCE!" Their leader screamed.

VROO! VROO! VROO!

I would never forget that very peculiar sight of a thousand mechas flying away without their limbs. As my big bro had said, it truly was a show to be enjoyed.

A brief show, by all measures, but an enjoyable one nonetheless.

With the main threat dealt with, all that remained of our entertainment was the fight between Chronos and that medium mecha.

As one, all six of us swiveled our heads around to the fight.

Chronos had returned to the battle and had decided to go all out in offense. His twin swords were sheathed and he wielded his massive greatsword with both hands.

Both of the mechas wielded greatswords, but the difference was that the medium mecha wielded it with just one hand and my big bro had to wield it with both hands.

And judging by the massive shockwaves that their sword clashes were emitting, my big bro's dual handed wield could merely match the medium mecha's single handed wield!

"What the hell. Is that really Uncle Phil? If he was, what the hell is he doing with the Military High Command?" James muttered.

"The Military High Command IS the place to be for all talented individuals. It would not be a big surprise if Phil Whitefrost decided to join it after surviving his tragedy." Elise Wang commented.

My ears perked up at her words though.

"Tragedy? What tragedy?" I asked.

Amid the loud clanging from fearsome fight that was still going on, Eliana Wang gave me a brief explanation of yet another highly classified information.

"Phil Whitefrost had been sent to join a "Multi Power Special Operation" which was a combined force of highly talented individuals from the top five powers of the world. Their mission objective was super highly classified and I was not able to crack the program that contained its information." Eliana Wang whispered. "He was reported missing three days into the mission, and the Multi Power Special Operation was disbanded. It was a complete failure, and since then, each country had been frantically building up their military."

"Hmmmm. Something that could unite the top powers, even for a brief mission…" I remarked thoughtfully.

"Yes. It must be an extraterrestrial threat!" Eliana Wang said with an excited, conspiratorial whisper.

"Or maybe they discovered the threat from the ocean. But if they did discover that threat, why were Bruce and the Old Man so surprised at what we found in our ocean adventure? And so was the Demoness? Unless they did not manage to gain any confirmation before the mission was somehow derailed. And if that's the case, then my ocean adventure did exactly what they set out to do… And then some more! I even came back with huge bounty!" I thought excitedly.

"Aliens! Oh my god. Are they real?" James asked excitedly.

I was very tempted to reply "YES THEY ARE!". But I managed to hold those words in.

At that moment, however, the fight finally ended.

"Enough." My big bro finally said as his massive swing got blocked easily and the medium mecha found himself in perfect position to unleash a shield bash.

Strangely, the medium mecha did as my big bro said and stopped fighting.

"You have improved once more. Well done." Bruce Pang said with a slight tinge of ruefulness.

"Teacher, you let me win. You would have made a mincemeat out of me if you had used your new skill." The medium mecha's pilot finally said her first words.
