Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Acting as a Thief (Extra for Alliance Leader PureRedApple) (Fifth Release)

Although Su Ming and the others were extremely curious about where Mia was taking them in the middle of the night, her secretive actions deterred them from asking too many questions.

An hour later, Mia led them through a maze of routes, avoiding the patrolling security guards, and eventually snuck into the central training building of Imperial Court Academy through the underground parking garage.

"Over here."

Mia quietly led them to a door without any sign.

This door still had an old mechanical lock.

Mia took out a specially made metal wire from her pocket and started fiddling with the primitive mechanical lock on the door.

Su Ming watched this scene unfold, his expression as vivid as it could possibly be.

Rhein and the others were absolutely shocked, nervously speaking up one after another.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

"Lock picking!"

Mia replied without a second thought.

"Teacher, isn’t this inappropriate?"

"You’re not leading us to commit theft, are you?"

"Teacher, maybe we should go back? We don’t want to be expelled by the school tomorrow!"

...

Rhein and the others were extremely anxious inside, clearly knowing this area was regulated by the academy.

"What are you afraid of? I’ll take the blame if anything happens."

Mia replied nonchalantly.

Listening to Mia’s words, Su Ming also felt she was really being reckless, and he was just about to say something.

Click!

Mia had unlocked the mechanical lock.

Su Ming decisively swallowed the words he was about to speak; it was too late to say anything now that the lock had already been opened.

Mia, excited, pushed open the door and waved everyone inside.

"Come in!"

Su Ming and the others could only bite the bullet and walk in.

The room inside was very dim, so they couldn’t see clearly.

But then, Mia pressed a switch on the wall. freewebnøvel.com

Snap~

Rows of lights came on.

Su Ming and the others stared at the scene before them and were instantly dumbstruck.

They were now inside a unique training room, which had two enclosed changing rooms at the corners.

In the middle area of the training room were rows of cylindrical pools sunk into the ground, and nothing else.

Su Ming and the others looked at the training room, completely baffled.

"Teacher, what is this for?"

Allu politely asked.

"Stop asking so many questions, there are changing rooms over there, and they have training suits. Everyone, go change!"

Mia cautiously closed the door, then told Su Ming and the others.

Su Ming and the others, though confused, obediently went to the changing rooms.

Not long after, Su Ming came out wearing a pair of short trunks similar to boxers, his upper body bare.

"Wow, class leader, you actually have so many abs! No wonder you’re so strong."

Zhang Yi teased with a laugh.

"Let’s see, class leader, how do you train? Your abs look pretty perfect, not like dead muscle at all."

Shi Wushan and others excitedly crowded around.

"Alright, stop playing around! Aren’t we in the middle of a class?"

Su Ming said with a straight face.

"Stop looking at the class leader, what’s there to see? Look at our class’s girls."

Mandy excitedly shouted.

Su Ming turned his head and saw that Angel, Allu, and the others had all changed into tight training suits that clung to their skin, perfectly outlining their figures.

"Wow!"

Zhang Yi and others shouted excitedly.

Allu and the others rolled their eyes at Zhang Yi and the others, but they didn’t say anything.

Soon everyone had changed into their clothes and lined up in front of Teacher Mia.

Mia scanned everyone present, then addressed them.

"Do you see those individual training pools in front?"

"We see them."

Rhein and the others responded in unison.

"Everyone get in, hold your breath!"

Mia ordered simply.

"Ah? Why are we practicing this, huh? What use does lung capacity have?"

Angel and others discussed, very puzzled.

Su Ming also felt something was off; what exactly did Teacher Mia want to do?

Unfortunately, Mia was too impatient to explain, and she said irritably.

"Why ask so many questions? One person per training pool."

Su Ming and the others could only unconditionally obey Mia’s arrangement as they approached each of the training pools.

The cylindrical training pools were filled with a viscous green liquid, not quite resembling clear water.

"Get in!"

Mia shouted at everyone.

Su Ming took a deep breath and then jumped into the training pool.

Splash!

Su Ming’s entire body sank, the training pool wasn’t deep, approximately 2.5 meters, but it had quite a bit of buoyancy, just a bit of struggle would bring him to the surface.

Seeing Su Ming taking the lead and jumping in, the others also mustered their courage and followed suit.

Mia then took out a professional timer and pressed it.

Time elapsed second by second until the timer hit 3 minutes and 29 seconds.

Mandy was the first to give in, surfacing first, gasping for breath, followed by a succession of students.

Mia looked at the students emerging, her brows furrowed.

Ordinarily, people could hold their breath underwater for about four minutes with training. However, the liquid in these training pools wasn’t ordinary water but a special liquid used in NOCY training.

This training liquid itself contained oxygen that could permeate through the skin into the body, thus allowing a person to hold their breath for a longer time.

But now, they were struggling just over three minutes.

Mia waited patiently, continuing to observe.

As time passed, more and more students surfaced.

When the timer reached six minutes and twenty seconds, Rhein emerged from the training pool, breathing heavily.

"Huff~"

"Not bad, Rhein! Held out that long?"

Zhang Yi and others complimented.

"Not bad, was I the longest?"

Rhein asked excitedly.

"Uh, actually, no, the class leader hasn’t come up yet?"

Zhang Yi explained to Rhein.

"No way?"

Rhein was a bit shocked; he turned his head and looked toward the nearby training pool; indeed, Su Ming hadn’t surfaced yet.

Mia, holding the timer, walked over to Su Ming’s training pool, her expression tense as she watched time.

Inside the training pool, Su Ming tried to relax as much as possible to reduce metabolism, so he could hold his breath longer.

At the moment, he realized there might be something odd; his condition today seemed a bit too good, having held his breath for so long yet not reaching his limit.

However, Su Ming didn’t dwell on it and calmly kept holding his breath.

Above the training pool, Mia watched the timer’s digits, which had reached 19 minutes and 31 seconds, her expression growing even graver.

Rhein and the others were stunned, discussing in disbelief.

"He can’t be serious, right? Has the class leader been down there for nearly twenty minutes?"

"More or less."

"That impressive?"

....

While everyone was talking, Su Ming inside the training pool started reaching his limit, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

It wasn’t that his spirit couldn’t bear it, but his body was reaching its limits.

So, Su Ming decisively pushed off the pool’s floor, floating upwards!

"The class leader is coming up."

Zhang Yi excitedly shouted.

However, at that moment, Mia suddenly extended her long white leg, stepping directly on Su Ming’s head, pushing him down.

Su Ming, who was surfacing, was also startled, having been pushed down unexpectedly.

But soon, Su Ming realized it must be something done by Teacher Mia, perhaps thinking he hadn’t reached his limit yet.

So, Su Ming endured and continued to hold his breath.

However, as time passed, Su Ming felt his body becoming more and more uncomfortable, his face contorting, his lungs feeling as if they were being hollowed out.

Su Ming tried to float up again, but Mia stepped on him again, determined not to let him come up.

Bubbles continuously emerged from the surface of the training pool.

Rhein and the others, seeing this scene, were also frightened, they climbed out of their training pools and rushed over, shouting at Teacher Mia.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

"The class leader is going to drown."

"You can’t do this."

....

"Shut up!"

Mia shouted back irritably, firmly pressing Su Ming’s head down, not letting him come up.

Inside the training pool, Su Ming struggled even harder, bubbles constantly rising to the surface.

"Teacher, the class leader will die! You’re doing this on purpose targeting him!"

Rhein was furious and began to move to pull Su Ming up.

Angel and others also moved forward to help.

Mia suddenly turned her eyes exceptionally blood-red and ferociously turned and snapped.

"Everyone stop! I am targeting him, so what? Anyone who dares try, don’t blame me for being rude."

Rhein and the others were instantly intimidated by Mia, no one daring to take another step forward.
