The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Without hesitation, Jiang Hui activated the mecha and slid inside before anyone could react.

Of course, there were many second-year students in the same class as her. They had been enrolled for a year and were naturally familiar with this.

Then, most of those who fell behind were freshmen who didn't know what to do. However, when they saw Jiang Hui and others use the mecha rings to start their mechas, they followed suit, picking up the rings from the ground and starting their mechas.

Manolin, who was watching the entire scene from outside with her arms crossed, nodded. She had a general idea of ​​the second-year students' level, but the first-year students' reactions were quite impressive.

Even if they lack experience and don't know much about the mecha rings, most of them are still able to calmly observe and then quickly follow the crowd. There are no truly stupid people who just stand there waiting to be told what to do.

Without saying much, she directly started the automatic program of the testing station.

The targets that had just appeared seemed to be moving slowly along some unseen path, and then another batch suddenly appeared on the outer edge, quickly surrounding the inside of the testing platform in three concentric circles.

The first exam had over sixty participants. They came in individually, which made the space seem spacious, but now that everyone was in mechs, it was crowded in such a small area in the middle.

What's the point of doing anything when it's so crowded? Shouldn't we just take down those who are in the way? That's some people's logic.

Then, in the next moment, dozens of gunshots rang out in the arena, but they weren't aimed at targets for scoring points; they were aimed at people.

Jiang Hui reacted immediately and quickly withdrew from the high-risk area surrounded by the enemy. Then, as if in response, a chaotic burst of gunfire erupted from all directions, with shrapnel flying everywhere.

A mech not far from Jiang Hui, relatively close to her, was hit by five shots almost simultaneously. One of the nearby mechs, presumably an accomplice, directly attacked, and the immense force of the impact blasted both the mech and its crew off the testing platform. According to the rules, this should be considered an elimination.

Then, almost in the blink of an eye, five or six mechs were forked off the testing platform using the same method—swift, ruthless, and merciless.

Jiang Hui realized it was no coincidence. This group had definitely planned this all along, reaching a consensus and working together at some unknown time to achieve this effect.

Their goal is clearly to unite against external threats before discussing anything else.

Jiang Hui frowned deeply inside the testing station.

She hadn't forgotten that this was a single-subject mecha exam, and the rules Captain Manolin had given her were all related to shooting. Although they weren't explicitly prohibited from using fists or kicks, the points were all on the target, and eliminating others wouldn't give them more points.

If they combined close-quarters combat with shooting, no one would criticize them, since mech shooting also requires the assistance of mech operation.

They were something else entirely, neglecting all their important tasks and prioritizing eliminating dissidents—they were clever and quick-witted, but also incredibly unethical. And judging by their skill and teamwork, they were clearly second-year students. Even though the school had arranged a mixed-gender exam, it was supposed to test shooting ability. For second-year students to gang up on those obviously inexperienced first-years was just too much… Jiang Hui suddenly rolled over and fired three shots into the air with a backhand.

Bullying freshmen is one thing, but it's an exam after all... the school must have its reasons for arranging such an exam. Jiang Hui is just a student; he can't understand the lessons the school and teachers are trying to teach them through this exam, nor can he criticize these people's reasonable attempts to win. But—

You can't bully her.

Seventeen people—they really think highly of her. She remembered that.

So Jiang Hui did the opposite, abandoning the relatively safe "no-interaction" zone and heading straight for the central battleground.

Originally, she had planned to participate in a shooting competition in a proper manner. But since they had decided to join forces against her, then they wouldn't hold back; they were the ones who struck first. Jiang Hui's single-edged gun fell straight down in a certain direction.

As for the group of second-year students who had reached an agreement early on to work together to eliminate a certain strong enemy, they failed in one round. They discovered that the other party not only avoided their joint "encirclement and kill", but the seemingly casual shot fired by the other party was actually aimed at the rear of the center shooters responsible for the second-stage shooting.

They were assigned to the middle position because they were skilled enough, and with a buffer zone in between, it should have been relatively easy for them to avoid the enemy's attacks. However, the enemy's advance was too fierce, and they barely managed to dodge those three incredibly accurate shots by dodging hastily and in a disheveled manner.

Before they could even feel relieved, they discovered that the three bullets, after narrowly grazing their vital organs, had passed right past their rear ends and struck three targets behind them—targets of varying distances and heights.

Jiang Hui, a first-year student from Class 2 of the Combat Individual Soldier Department, hit the nine-ring three times, scoring thirty points.

It should be said that the other side still gave them some face, hitting the nine rings instead of the ten... Otherwise, if the other side had made a backup plan while aiming at them and still managed to hit the ten rings, they would really be ashamed of themselves.

Okay, now she's almost being compared to trash. Because the bad news is that although she didn't hit the bullseye, she did hit the 9, and before that, she was initially aiming at all three of them.

Uh... I wonder if the other team anticipated they would dodge from the start, and their goal was simply to aim at the target and score points? If so, that's even scarier...

Thinking it over, the united second-year students felt that this person could no longer be allowed to live and that they had to work together to eliminate him, otherwise their grades would become a joke. He Si was one thing, but what right did a first-year student have to overpower them?
Actually, many students in the Combat Individual Soldier Department felt quite embarrassed that Jiang Hui had broken into the top 300 in just one afternoon last time. Some even secretly suspected that Jiang Hui must have used some kind of method to achieve this—and these people in front of them just happened to be the ones.

Heaven knows how excited they were to discover that Jiang Hui was in the same exam room and taking the same test as them. They all felt this was a great opportunity to make a name for themselves. As long as they eliminated this person, all the incredible rumors about him would be debunked, and it would also showcase their abilities. Why not?
The group, who had been somewhat wary of Jiang Hui's unpredictable shooting skills, changed their formation again and, according to their initial plan, divided the testing station into two sections.

On one side, they were about to deal with those who were getting in their way; on the other side, they wanted to catch the big fish, Jiang Hui.

More than a hundred students outside the testing station, who had not yet started their exams, along with three proctors, were closely watching this chaotic battle.
