Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

Chapter 405: Chapter 180 I Got Bullied

Inside the Virtual Cabin Training Hall of the academy, within a private advanced training room, a Virtual Cabin popped open, and first, a slender and straight jade leg stepped out, followed by a hand resting on the edge of the cabin.

At last, the figure inside made its appearance with a black ponytail and clear, phoenix-like eyes that were slightly reddened at the moment.

The tightly pursed lips not only didn’t spoil her beautiful appearance but added a bit of stubbornness to it.

On her delicate, flawless face, she looked even more pitiable.

This was none other than Bing Su, who had just exited an online battle on the campus network.

When the fierce yet beautiful goddess walked out of the Virtual Training Hall, the girl at the front desk muttered, “Who has upset this young lady?”

Apart from Bing Su herself, no one else knew that it was a player named “Shura,” controlling a brutal iron sphere that had really made Bing Su furious.

“Absolutely lacking in grace. Let me find out who you are, and you won’t have an easy time!”

Fuming, Bing Su, on her way, passed several acquaintances without bothering to greet any of them but directly walked into the Swordsmanship Club with a cold face.

At the entrance of the Swordsmanship Club, a few boys who were practicing sparring saw one of the three beauties of their club, Goddess Susu, and naturally approached her with smiles, only to be met with a cold glance from Bing Su as she walked straight inside.

This made the boys immediately recoil with awkward smiles.

“What’s wrong with Goddess Su today?”

“My dear junior Susu, why aren’t you acknowledging me today?”

“Bing Su is usually so easygoing—what’s gotten into her to be this angry?”

“Did someone upset our Swordsmanship Club’s Rose?”

The three beauties of the Swordsmanship Club.

They were Snow Lotus, Rose, and Daffodil.

Representing overwhelming martial prowess and ice-cold demeanor was Lu Qingxue.

Known for her warm and friendly nature, yet always measured, was Bing Su.

And there was Youshi Wang, a gentle and charming lady from the noble family of Blue Capital.

Purely based on background, the mysterious Daffodil—Youshi Wang—naturally held the highest status among the three, but many boys who admired her from afar rarely saw her face.

As for Lu Qingxue, a Valkyrie who seemed almost devoid of emotional cells and quick to draw her sword, even the graduated Lion King, Senior Renault, incessantly remembered her, making people keep their distance rather than approaching.

In the end, it was Bing Su, a captivating and open-hearted noble lady from the second star district, who was most popular among the boys.

They seldom saw an angry expression on the face of this goddess who liked to wear a ponytail, even to say that they had never seen it before.

So, seeing it for the first time today, they all exchanged worried glances.

What happened to their Swordsmanship Club’s Rose?

Furious, Bing Su passed four dojos in a row; she just wanted to retreat to her private room, where she acted as the External Affairs Director of the Swordsmanship Club, to vent her frustration.

A few female classmates, seeing the irate Bing Su, quickly stepped aside to clear the path.

“I’m so angry, so infuriated.”

With a bang, she slammed the room door shut.

Outside, a few girls exchanged looks, stuck out their tongues, and hurried away, not daring to make a sound.

Casually drawing the Fighting Sword from the wooden rack, she spun a beautiful sword flourish, and Bing Su positioned the cold long sword vertically in front of herself, her eyes fixed on her reflection on the blade, slowly regaining her composure.

Then, she lightly flicked the sword tip, touching the switch for the virtual image.

A humanoid training holographic image appeared before her.

Bing Su clasped the sword handle with both hands and slowly drew it to her side, staring intently at the black holographic image in front of her, imagining it as that detestable iron sphere controller.

Then, she abruptly shouted “Ha!” and slashed down with her cold, gleaming long sword, leaving a slash mark on the hologram.

“This is the first sword!”

She pulled back, then executed a reverse stabbing motion, “This is the second sword!”

As Bing Su’s angry shouts increased, the black holographic image was slashed into utter disarray.

This was a special training image unique to the Swordsmanship Club, utilizing the powerful computation capabilities of the Light Computer and virtual optical imaging to facilitate precise attacks on various parts of the body.

Seeing that shadow being slashed into pieces, Bing Su’s anger surged as she thought about how she had been beaten to a pulp in the Battle Net.

The room lights of Bing Su’s private room had turned red as soon as she entered.

This indicated that Goddess Su had immediately begun her Sword Dao training.

Some admiring boys and some gossip-curious girls quietly gathered around, whispering, wondering what was going on.

Tap, tap, tap.

Rhythmic footsteps approached from a distance.

The group, engrossed in their discussion, hadn’t noticed a woman with a cold face and dressed in white, resembling snow, who had appeared behind them.

Still in her soft Swordsman’s clothes, black hair casually hung down her back.

Her serene, penetrating gaze swept over the group.

“What are you doing?”

“We… uh…”

“Hello, President!”

“Senior Sister Lu!”

The group only then realized that the cold voice was Lu Qingxue’s.

So, they all looked at the calm-faced Lu Qingxue with awkward smiles.

Lu Qingxue nodded slightly in response, her gaze shifting from their evasive eyes, then her delicate chin slightly lifted, “Han Jing, you speak.”

Among the others’ schadenfreude looks, a handsome boy nervously stepped forward and pointed towards the door illuminated by the red light.

“Just now, Bing Su came back looking very unhappy, then locked herself in and started training immediately. We were worried she might have had an accident… haha.” The boy named Han Jing awkwardly laughed, having been directly called out by the president made him feel like refusing was not even an option.

“Oh, you can disperse now.”

Her icy words made the group, who still occasionally glanced at Bing Su’s room, freeze in action.

Then, heads bowed, they all dispersed.

The club president had spoken; what else could they do?

Ah, they really wanted to know the gossip.

Watching the reluctant dispersal of the gossip-hungry crowd, Lu Qingxue’s eyes showed no fluctuation. After they had left, she placed her hand on the door’s scanner.

Access: President, identification approved.

Pushing the door open, Lu Qingxue immediately saw Bing Su attacking wildly with stabs and slashes.

Frowning slightly, Lu Qingxue said softly, “Your mind is too chaotic.”

Bing Su, who had just raised her sword overhead, froze upon hearing that voice, and the frost-covered long sword could no longer be swung down.

Gently tapping with the sword sheath in her hand, the fragmented black shadow disappeared.

“What happened?”

No one knew that Lu Qingxue and the other two acclaimed beauties weren’t really competing; they were actually on good terms privately—it was just that Lu Qingxue, with her cold nature, had never shown their relationship openly.

Bing Su, wearing a gray academy uniform skirt, had her back to Lu Qingxue, her shoulders gently shaking.

The shaking gradually intensified.

Then, Bing Su suddenly turned, her eyes red with tears, and cried out, “Sister Xue, I’ve been bullied!”

Her sorrowful expression and heartbroken tone, combined with her tear-streaked face, made Lu Qingxue’s brows furrow deeply.

“Who bullied you?”

“I don’t know him~ Wah, I’m so sad, he treated me that way. Sister Xue, you must help me get revenge, Susu feels so wronged~~” Hearing Lu Qingxue’s question, Bing Su cried even harder, dropping her long sword on the ground.
