As Ma Jinshen turned to leave, Gu Chengnan suddenly grabbed his sleeve, wanting to say something but hesitating. He looked at him with a timid gaze.

Mai Jinsen raised his hand and pinched Gu Chengnan's rosy cheeks, teasingly saying, "I was just scaring you earlier. Who told you to be so timid?"

Gu Chengnan is still entangled: "But during military training, we naturally have to follow the orders of the instructor. If I fail the assessment, I won't be able to stay at the Phisotora Military Academy."

"Didn't expect you to be afraid of this?" Maisen chuckled and said, "They're just trying to intimidate us newbies because they were once intimidated themselves. It's really not a big deal at all."

Huh? Gu Chengnan's face was full of confusion. Can one really stay regardless of whether they pass the assessment or not?

Mai Jinsen thought about something he had heard unintentionally from a few instructors not long ago. Among them was a recently graduated senior instructor who said, "This year's freshmen are interesting. I want to spend more time playing with them."

The other instructor burst into laughter. "Don't bully them too badly, or else the Dean will want to have a talk with you."

Mai Jinsen did not get angry when he heard this. He should have anticipated it long ago. Isn't it just training?

"I have something to give you," said Maisen as he pulled his left hand towards him and slipped a ring onto his ring finger.

"This is..." Gu Chengnan's face lit up with surprise. "A spatial ring."

"Mhmm, this is for you, and you're not allowed to take it off."

Gu Chengnan noticed that Mai Jinsen also had a spatial ring in his hand, which seemed to be a matching pair with the one in his own hand. His face unconsciously turned red, and whispered, "Why did you give me such a valuable gift?"

"In the future, it will definitely come in handy, and during military training, there is an expedition training project in the jungle. Although the place is not extremely dangerous, no one can guarantee that accidents won't occur."

"Thank you, Maisen." Gu Chengnan gratefully embraced him. He suddenly felt that His Royal Highness was truly a good person, not only providing him with delicious food but also showing such concern for him.

After returning to the dormitory, Gu Chengnan lay on his bed, feeling the space ring in his hand. He was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep.

He tried to use his spiritual power to perceive, but it seemed like there was a barrier set up within the space, somewhat repelling his spiritual power.

Gu Chengnan didn't think much about it at the time, but later he realized that it was actually Benben hiding in there, deliberately teasing him.

There is actually a reason why Benben is so childish.

Dr. Roteray, at the request of Queen Shannina, once created a petite caretaker-type mecha for the young Crown Prince when he was still in his childhood.

Dr. Roteray considered that His Royal Highness, being quite young, needed a playmate. Only children of the same age would have common topics of conversation, so he set Benben's intelligence level to be around six years old.

Benben is an artificial intelligence. He has a strong learning ability and can accompany the Crown Prince in his growth process.

Unfortunately, as the Crown Prince grows older, what he needs more is a combat-oriented SSS-class mecha, but he doesn't want to lose his childhood playmate, Benben.

Therefore, Dr. Roteray extracted the most crucial memory chip from that small mecha and placed it into the dual S-class mecha, which is why the Lightning Wing exists as it does now.

During military training, they need to learn shooting skills and gain knowledge about various types of weapons and their performance.

Gu Chengnan learned how to shoot, and almost every shot hit the bullseye.

Lu Cheng asked, "Can you teach me? Why do I always miss every time?"

Gu Chengnan scratched his head. "I don't really know how to teach. I just aim for the bullseye and shoot."

Lu Cheng couldn't help but snicker inwardly, thinking, "Isn't saying this the same as not saying anything at all?"

Later, they carried out practical combat training as they teamed up and entered the forest.

The instructor said that this mission is very simple. It is to collect seven colored flags in the jungle and then insert them at the target endpoint. That would be considered successfully passing this stage.
