"Where did this scumbag come from? How dare he curse me!" The woman with the wavy hair, Min Zhou, glared at Zachary Chase. This guy actually dared to call her a bitch!
At this moment, a suitor of Min Zhou next to her saw an opportunity. This was a rare chance to show off. He walked toward Zachary: "How dare you be disrespectful to Miss Min Zhou! Let's see how I'll tear your mouth apart!"
With that, he swung his fist toward Zachary's face.
Lily Xue and the others nearby were startled. They hadn't expected the students of Tianyao Noble Starship Military Academy to be so arrogant, not only daring to violate the rules during starship combat but now also daring to lay hands on someone.
Facing the incoming fist, Zachary's hand moved faster, directly gripping the opponent's fist, then twisting it.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah…" The man cried out in pain, collapsing to his knees.
Zachary then kicked him in the face, sending him flying backward. Coincidentally, he slid under Min Zhou's skirt, but unfortunately, he had already fainted. He wouldn't get to appreciate the view under his dream girl's skirt.
"This seems to be Wendy Chase's brother, Zachary!"
"Is it the Zachary who, at the end of last semester, dueled a starship from the same grade and defeated his opponent against all odds?"
"Holy cow, how is Zachary so skilled?!"
"Did you guys notice? This Zachary is quite handsome."
Some of the North Starship Military Academy students nearby recognized Zachary, while others had heard of him. But now, Zachary had immediately started punching an outside student. It truly was… so satisfying! For the past few days, their North Star students had been fed up with these Tianyao Academy students. Good hit!
"Good hit! You should beat up that damn woman too!" The twin-tailed loli Lily jumped next to Zachary, looking like she was not afraid of stirring up more trouble.
The noble lady named Min Zhou was also startled by Zachary's 'rude' behavior and instinctively took a few steps back.
Zachary, however, ignored the woman and looked at Wendy again: "Your own matters, you handle them yourself. People of our Chase family, wherever they suffer humiliation, that's where they get it back!"
Wendy pointed at the T2 Fire Crow-class Heavy Interstellar Battlecruiser still being dragged away from the starship duel arena in the distance, and said aggrievedly: "But my starship was heavily damaged, and some of the crew members are injured…"
"Just tell me if you want to return the humiliation she gave you," Zachary asked.
Wendy nodded heavily, her eyes filled with unwillingness and anger. She accepted losing the starship duel. But the other party had still bombarded her starship after she surrendered, causing her crew members to be injured. She couldn't tolerate that.
"I want to!" Wendy gritted her teeth and shouted.
"Go challenge her. I'll arrange the starship," Zachary said.
Upon hearing Zachary's words, although Wendy didn't know what kind of arrangements Zachary had, she felt a surge of confidence. She took a deep breath and walked directly in front of Min Zhou, pointing at her: "Min Zhou, I want to challenge you to a duel again. You set the time! Do you dare to accept?"
Min Zhou laughed in exasperation. She said: "Alright, no need to reschedule. Anyway, my starship wasn't affected much. Once my starship is resupplied, we'll fight another round in half an hour!"
"Good! It's a deal!" Wendy said.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
Just then, the surrounding students parted, and several people who looked like instructors walked in.
"What's going on? I heard someone was hitting someone here?" A sharp-voiced woman quickly walked in and immediately saw her student lying on the ground. She immediately pointed angrily at the male instructor from North Star Academy next to her: "Vice Dean Hong, what's going on with your North Star! My student was perfectly fine and was beaten by your student here. You must give me an explanation! Our Tianyao Academy is here for an academic exchange this time. Is this how you treat guests?"
Vice Dean Hong's expression was a bit surprised. He first tried to calm the other party: "Deputy Dean Jia, calm down for a moment, calm down. Let's first understand what happened."
At this point, students from both sides started shouting at each other.
"Their North Star Academy students are sore losers and hit people!"
"Nonsense! It was clearly their Tianyao Academy people who violated the rules in the starship duel! The other party had clearly surrendered, but they still fired! This caused the crew members to be injured, and they even insulted them as commoners!"
"What's wrong with calling you commoners? Commoners should just stay on their planets. Why are you out here piloting starships? You're not worthy!"
Soon, both vice deans understood the entire incident.
Vice Dean Hong's expression began to turn unpleasant. He looked at Deputy Dean Jia next to him: "Deputy Dean Jia, it seems like this. This matter has a cause, and both sides are responsible. Let's leave it at that."
"Is Vice Dean Hong trying to protect his own?" Deputy Dean Jia, accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing, retorted unceremoniously.
You old hag, with your arrogant temper these past few days, those who don't know might think you're the dean. I'm being respectful to you because you're a guest, but you're taking advantage of it! Vice Dean Hong cursed inwardly, but still maintained a slight smile on his face: "If we must delve deeper, this matter is very clear. The cause was obviously your student not following the rules—firing after one side had surrendered and stopped fighting. These rules in starship duels should have been taught in the first year. Did your academy not teach them?"
His words were biting.
Deputy Dean Jia's expression was displeased.
"Deputy Dean Jia, just now the North Star students said they wanted to fight again. Since everyone has a conflict, and we are both starship military academies, if there's any conflict, let's just settle it directly with starships." Min Zhou walked over, looking at Wendy with a sneer. She could beat this woman once, and she could beat her a second time.
"I'll fight to the end!" Wendy glared at the other party. For some reason, she felt confident at this moment.
"Alright then, Vice Dean Hong. How about we handle it this way? As for what happened just now, we won't inquire about it." Deputy Dean Jia looked at Vice Dean Hong with a somewhat sinister smile. Weren't you very arrogant just now? Alright then, I'll let my student defeat your genius student again, right in front of you. Let's see if your North Star can save face.
Vice Dean Hong hesitated. He looked at Wendy. He knew this student was a very diligent and talented student. If she suffered two consecutive defeats and developed psychological trauma, it would be a huge loss.
"I think it's better to…" Vice Dean Hong wanted to gloss over it.
Wendy, however, interrupted the vice dean and said firmly: "Vice Dean Hong, I want to fight! Please respect my decision!"
Vice Dean Hong frowned and walked in front of Wendy: "Student Wendy, your starship is damaged, and your crew members are injured. How can you fight now? Let's just forget about this time."
"I have a starship! I want to fight!" Wendy said stubbornly.
Zachary walked over at this moment and said: "Vice Dean Hong, let women handle women's affairs themselves."
Saying that, Zachary winked at Lilith behind him and whispered: "Take Wendy to the Black Rhino."
"Yes." Lilith walked to Wendy's side, and then the two left the area.
Seeing this, Min Zhou sneered: "Since you still want to humiliate yourself, then I'll grant your wish. I hope your starship can take a beating this time." After speaking, she also turned and went back to her docked and resupplying starship, preparing for the upcoming second battle!
