I Raised a Cub in the Military Academy Chapter 18.2

Part 2

He had gotten too excited during the fight and completely lost control of his body.

He felt this was still to be blamed on his Second Form.

Mainly because the Second Form was too small and didn’t have enough brain capacity; that must be why.

Just like now—he could currently resist the urge to stomp his feet, but it was very hard to resist in his Second Form.

He was angry.

Angry at himself for being so useless.

Yun Yingzhi looked at his two teammates and asked, “For the third match, let’s not…” He suddenly felt that the way they were looking at him was a bit strange. He paused and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

A-Hao immediately said, “It’s nothing!”

A-Qing: “I just think you’re really impressive!”

Yun Yingzhi blinked his black eyes. Although he felt awkward, being praised still made him a bit happy—especially since they said he was impressive.

From the past until now, everyone had said he was weak and needed protection. Now, being praised with such sincerity by these two made him feel very satisfied.

A-Hao said, “Then shall I continue queuing for the third match?”

A-Qing: “Let’s fight a few more rounds, shall we?” Winning or losing wasn’t important; the main thing was that seeing the little rabbit happily spinning was a bit cute. That was exactly the kind of battle a macho man should watch!

After the second match, although Yun Yingzhi was “a billion times” impressive, he still felt ashamed. He actually didn’t really want to do a third match, but…

Hearing their praise, Yun Yingzhi—who had loved being complimented since he was little—couldn’t quite help himself. He wanted to keep fighting.

After hesitating, he figured that since no one knew that Little Battle Bunny was actually him, as long as he had his “vest” (alias) on, the little rabbit had nothing to fear!

Yun Yingzhi said, “…That… would be… okay?” He spoke hesitantly, emphasizing each word.

Hearing this, A-Hao immediately continued applying for a match.

The lobby was bustling with people.

There were quite a few people dressed similarly to Yun Yingzhi’s group, as well as some in bizarre costumes wearing masks. Thus, the three of them weren’t particularly eye-catching.

The three intended to go to the rest area to wait for the third match’s pairing.

On the way to the rest area, there were many battle projections. Each projection featured the most classic highlights captured from the daily battles, which were then broadcasted to various sectors of the entire Yaoming Battle Arena.

Passersby in the arena could decide which battle master or team to follow based on these projections.

Suddenly, the three of them stopped.

Yun Yingzhi’s head tilted up slightly, his lips pressed into a straight line beneath his mask. He looked at a nearby projection with an extremely depressed expression.

In the projection, the little white rabbit was cheerfully spinning in circles.

Yun Yingzhi thought: As long as that rabbit wasn’t me, I’d say it was absolutely adorable.

Then, he heard someone let out a scream.

Yun Yingzhi’s ears twitched as his gaze followed the source of the scream—it was a girl who looked about twenty.

The girl cupped her face in her hands, her face filled with adoration as she watched the video projection. She said, “Let the little bunny slam them! Quick, let the little bunny slam! Let the little bunny win!”

Yun Yingzhi: “…”

A-Qing nudged Yun Yingzhi.

Yun Yingzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at A-Qing.

A-Qing suddenly asked, “Are you really an adult?”

Yun Yingzhi: “…” That was high damage and even more insulting.

Yun Yingzhi felt that A-Qing really wasn’t very good at speaking; every sentence he uttered felt like a critical hit to the soul.

Yun Yingzhi said, “Do you believe I’ll really take off your hat and mask and report you to all the major academies?”

A-Hao stepped between Yun Yingzhi and A-Qing to play the peacemaker.

A-Qing looked at Yun Yingzhi and said, “If you do that to me, I’ll do the same to you!”

Yun Yingzhi felt a lump in his chest and was suddenly left speechless.

Compared to A-Qing, Yun Yingzhi felt that if his identity were exposed, it would be even more embarrassing.

He just had to listen to the people around him saying things like: “Whoever doesn’t let the little bunny do his victory spin, I’ll thump them hard!”

Yun Yingzhi sniffled and wisely decided to change the subject.

However, before Yun Yingzhi could speak, he heard someone in the crowd say, “Wow, if this Little Cute Bunny weren’t so powerful, I’d suspect he was an elementary school student!”

Yun Yingzhi: “…”

Yun Yingzhi couldn’t help but silently glare at the person talking nonsense in the crowd before entering the rest area with his teammates.

The rest area had rows upon rows of seats for people to rest.

As Yun Yingzhi listened to the intermittent comments about “Quick! Let the Little Battle Bunny win!”, his entire being radiated an aura of having nothing left to live for. He stared at the battle projections listlessly.

Suddenly, he saw Wei Yuanqing’s five-man team.

Yes, it was a five-man team.

Yun Yingzhi identified them through the clothes Wei Yuanqing and his three roommates were wearing, as well as the skills they used and their Second Forms.

After he had left the team, Wei Yuanqing and the others must have found another person to play 5V5.

It was just…

Yun Yingzhi blinked his large eyes and watched the battle seriously.

Every clip projected to the outside was a highlight of a battle.

In the battle video, layers of ice were being established, directly enveloping the five people in Wei Yuanqing’s team.

Wei Yuanqing raised a hand, and the ice surrounding him shattered instantly.

This was a close-up shot.

Rumor had it that Wei Yuanqing understood animal language, or perhaps possessed a mind-reading ability. His strongest power was a Non-Limited Wood-type ability. Non-limited abilities were also known as natural element abilities.

The difference between Limited and Non-Limited was that a Limited ability could only use the single attribute awakened, while a Non-Limited ability could be freely combined to form various powers.

As Wei Yuanqing used it: sprouting, growing, entangling, and even reaching the late-stage wood-type abilities of siphoning and bestowing…

The gap between the two was that Non-Limited abilities didn’t require much thought and could be released directly, whereas Limited abilities required thought—and thought meant time. However, the latter was much more flexible than the former.

Generally, Non-Limited abilities were also stronger than Limited ones.

Every skill released by a Source Weapon belonged to the Limited category.

In the projection, Wei Yuanqing appeared very powerful.

But…

At the same time, the four other people on the same platform as Wei Yuanqing were completely wiped out and swept off the stage.

Tender sprouts pierced through all the ice and snow on the platform. Following the sound of shattering, Wei Yuanqing’s clear voice rang out: “We forfeit.”

The team names of both sides appeared on the projection.

The naming style for Wei Yuanqing’s team was very simple: Carrot Team. The other team’s name was quite long.

Yun Yingzhi first checked the Carrot Team’s record.

Up until now, Yun Yingzhi’s “Dominate Yaoming” team had won two 3V3 matches. As for the Carrot Team…

They had played one more match than Yun Yingzhi, but they had three losses and zero wins.

Yun Yingzhi was a bit surprised. As students of the Empire’s First Military Academy, shouldn’t they theoretically be able to sweep through most opponents in the arena?

What was with the three losses?

Thinking about it, Yun Yingzhi searched for the opponents of the Carrot Team’s third 5V5 match.

Upon searching, Yun Yingzhi was shocked.

Wei Yuanqing aside—it could be seen from the previous battle that he didn’t care about winning or losing—but Yu Feiwen and the other two roommates, although they were in the “slacker class,” usually worked very hard.

Yun Yingzhi didn’t think those three would be swept aside so easily.

In fact, although he didn’t know who the fifth person was, their team’s overall strength wasn’t weak. However, that couldn’t hold up against the fact that all five of their opponents were Level 7 or 8 Ability Warriors.

Looking at the information of the five people the Carrot Team encountered in their third match, Yun Yingzhi felt they were truly tragic.

Yun Yingzhi suddenly thought of the two teams he had encountered; they were relatively weak. Those six people looked big and tough, but in reality, they were more delicate than him—every single one of them was incredibly fragile.

He continued checking the Carrot Team’s first two matches.

The Carrot Team was quite unlucky. The other two teams they met were also extremely strong, especially their first opponents, who were a full five-man team of Level 8 warriors.

By comparison, the team they met in their second match was somewhat…
