A teacher's words caused a commotion in the classroom.
"Wow!"
"Ooh!"
"Meng classmate, you can do it!"
Meng Huai also nodded happily in response to the teacher's words. "Okay, thank you, teacher."
However, Gu Ping, who knew Meng Huai was a Grade B in perception, was not as excited as the other students. After hearing the teacher's praise and Meng Huai's insights shared in class, Gu Ping felt even more worried for Meng Huai. He thought, "If only Meng classmate's perception could be higher! Even just A-grade like mine."
Clearly, others couldn't empathize with Gu Ping's thoughts. The teacher was also happy with Meng Huai's response, but he also wanted to voice his concerns.
Every year, this competition for quotas would assign such a talented student to the logistics department. Wasn't that a waste of talent? If she became discouraged in the logistics department, wouldn't they lose an excellent student, perhaps even a future excellent mecha master!
The more the teacher thought about it, the angrier he became. He had finished explaining everything.
"Class dismissed."
After speaking, he went to the Dean and spoke at length. "Dean, you have no idea. There's a student from the logistics department in my class who is incredibly talented. Her ideas were something I hadn't even considered, and with a small modification, the mecha's efficiency could be increased by ten percent! Can you imagine? Such a student has been assigned to the logistics department. This is such a waste of talent!"
The Dean of the Combat Academy was a Grade 3S commander and was very composed. He listened to the teacher babble on without interrupting. Only after the teacher finished speaking did he say, "The logistics department again."
The Dean of the Combat Academy, Tang Sinian, recalled the communication he received from Yun Sheng yesterday, asking for student information. Initially, Tang Sinian had no problem with it, so he asked for the student's name to send the information.
"From the logistics department, named Meng Huai."
When Yun Sheng finished speaking, the usually calm Tang Sinian paused for two seconds. He then asked again, "What was the name?"
Yun Sheng thought he hadn't heard clearly and repeated, "Her name is Meng Huai, she's in the logistics department. I want this child to transfer to our Ancient Botany Research department, but she's unwilling. However, I'd still like to see her detailed information, so I'd appreciate it if you could help me, Dean Tang."
Tang Sinian finally confirmed that this was indeed the Meng Huai he was thinking of. He immediately said, "Alright, I'll send it to you."
Since the information Yun Sheng had requested earlier wasn't detailed enough, he had to ask Dean Tang Sinian for more comprehensive details. However, Yun Sheng didn't expect this communication would lead Tang Sinian into deep thought.
"Meng Huai? I didn't expect Deputy Dean Yun to want to take her as a disciple, and she's not willing to go."
Tang Sinian chuckled bitterly. "She's truly just like her mother, so stubborn."
That's right, Tang Sinian knew Meng Huai's identity. Perhaps Tang Sinian was the only one who knew Meng Huai was Marshal Meng's daughter.
Back then, when Meng Huai tested as Grade B in perception, Marshal Meng didn't pay much attention to her. Later, when his new wife gave birth to another daughter, Marshal Meng paid even less attention to her.
Under his wife's careless schemes, he abandoned his own daughter on a garbage planet, showing no concern.
It was Tang Sinian who had been keeping an eye on this child over the years, offering her help when she was at her wit's end. However, Meng Huai was unaware of this, as Tang Sinian had never revealed himself.
It was because Meng Huai's mother had saved Tang Sinian years ago that Tang Sinian had continued to support her.
Later, Marshal's second wife even tried to kill Meng Huai. After saving Meng Huai, Tang Sinian directly altered her information, making everyone believe Meng Huai had died in an accident. However, besides Marshal Meng's wife, no one else cared about Meng Huai's life or death.
When Tang Sinian recalled this, he would always say, "How ironic!"
The ones who cared about Meng Huai were the ones who wanted her dead.
Tang Sinian snapped out of his reminiscence, listening to the agitated teacher repeating the same point.
Tang Sinian finally interjected, saying, "The logistics department again."
The teacher became excited. "Yes, the logistics department. I've already suggested she transfer next year, and it looks like she will. With her abilities, I don't think it will be a problem. However, Dean, I think the system really needs to be reformed. Don't you remember, last time there was a promising commander candidate who didn't get into the combat department and instead went to the logistics department. He became discouraged, and a good student was wasted in the logistics department!"
Tang Sinian also knew that student. He didn't agree with the teacher, but instead said, "I know that student. If he doesn't have good psychological resilience, it means he's not suited to be a commander."
Tang Sinian continued, "As you said, transferring next year would be fine. By the way, what's the name of this student you mentioned, the promising mecha master candidate?"
Tang Sinian asked casually, but was surprised to hear Meng Huai's name again.
"Meng Huai, her name is Meng Huai."
Upon hearing this, Tang Sinian thought, "It's this Meng Huai again. Grade B Meng Huai is still so sought after in the academy. Wait, Grade B?"
Tang Sinian thought about this and said to the teacher, "This Meng Huai is Grade B, are you sure she can transfer?"
These words shocked the teacher. He never expected Meng Huai to be Grade B.
"No, how could she be Grade B? Her talent is so good..."
She thought Meng Huai simply hadn't secured a spot in the mecha engineering department. She didn't realize she was being held back by her grade.
After leaving the Dean's office, the teacher was still unable to calm down. "Such a good prospect, why is she only Grade B! Well, learning theoretical knowledge well is also good. There's still time, and if Meng classmate still wants to transfer next year, I will beg the Dean to help Meng classmate transfer departments!"
In his office, Tang Sinian fell into deep thought again. "I helped Meng Huai enter the Imperial Military Academy back then, but I didn't expect her to have two teachers speaking up for her and helping her transfer!"
That's right, Meng Huai's ability to enter the Imperial Military Academy was also due to Tang Sinian's behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
After all, if Meng Huai had stayed on the garbage planet, her future would have been limited. But with a diploma from the Imperial Military Academy, her destiny would be different. Even the logistics department of the Imperial Military Academy was highly sought after elsewhere.
The diploma from the Imperial Military Academy was a stepping stone.
However, he truly didn't expect Meng Huai to have talent as a mecha master. It was just a pity that her grade was insufficient.
"However, it's not impossible to arrange. If her theoretical knowledge is solid, she could become a mentor at the Imperial Military Academy in the future."
Tang Sinian was subconsciously making plans for Meng Huai again.
