Mu Fan left the Star Peak Inn early in the morning.
The front desk was empty; this bizarre inn lacked any security.
It was convenient not having to say goodbye to Su Xiaomi.
Mu Fan put his hands in his pockets and took a taxi to the exam site.
However, he was not heading to a traditional school exam site like the others but to a large training base.
This was something Black had told him over the earphones.
The Army Reserve special recruitment exam had its unique characteristics, focusing solely on physical fitness, thus eliminating the need for cultural examinations.
He hadn’t informed the others before he left, thinking it was better if they knew less.
If he passed, he’d tell them; if not, he’d find work on Blue Capital Star.
Yes, that was the plan he had made a long time ago.
Mu Fan now arrived at the Federation Army Reserve special recruitment point in Zone D.
This place was so special that even from afar, one could see a group of soldiers in star-blue uniforms surrounding it tightly.
Those who wanted to watch from the sidelines kept a respectful distance, leaving only eligible examinees to swipe their Identity Cards at the entrance, undergo iris recognition, and then enter.
Mu Fan focused intently as he walked towards the crowd.
The breathing around this area was steady, and the heartbeats were strong.
Anyone’s footsteps here seemed superior compared to other skilled individuals elsewhere.
The caliber of the people here was quite impressive.
Mu Fan felt the aura around him but remained silent as he squeezed forward.
“This time, there are 8,169 examinees, with 790 here.
Those meeting the conditions, please register first.”
The announcement played on a loop overhead.
Mu Fan went straight to a registration point, ready for identity verification, unconcerned about being at the wrong exam site.
“Identity recognition, Mu Fan, Loga Star native, 17 years old, iris match successful.”
A Federation lieutenant glanced at Mu Fan, then at his identity information, and nodded.
Approved!
“Please remove all communication devices from your body, including all accessories.
Thank you for your cooperation,” the lieutenant at the registration point said, glancing at Mu Fan, indicating that an inspection would follow.
“Mu Fan, good luck.” Black’s voice rang out for the last time.
Nodding, Mu Fan removed his earphones and watch, placing them in the exam site’s storage box.
Taking the handed exam schedule, Mu Fan walked into the exam hall.
There were thirteen exam centers for the Purple Jade Star Army Reserve, and this D1 exam site had the most participants.
Mu Fan entered and saw ten enormous arenas standing side by side in the vast training ground, surrounded by various professional measuring instruments and personnel in different uniforms bustling around.
The examinees looked excitedly at those people, with only Mu Fan not knowing the reason.
They were the lecturers from the Five Great Colleges, who would carefully observe here today and then make decisions on behalf of their colleges.
Here, the selection would proceed according to the ranking of the Five Great Colleges, in order.
After the last round, the selection would start again from the top.
First Administrative District, Capital Star–“Federation Dawn Military Academy”
First Administrative District, Capital Star–“Bonar Joint College”
Second Administrative District, Xuanming Star–“Pulan Military Academy”
Third Administrative District, Forest Light Star–“Taoyun Academy”
Fourth Administrative District, Blue Capital Star–“Dingchuan Academy”
This meant that the two colleges from the capital had the priority in selection, with Dingchuan Academy being the last to select in the first round.
Owing to strong central financial support, the capital colleges were much stronger than the other three.
Therefore, many present hoped to be picked by the colleges that ranked higher.
At this moment, the atmosphere in a public information processing room behind this vast venue began to tense.
Except for the people from Dingchuan Academy, everyone else stared angrily at the big bald head among them, who was now smugly surveying the room like a victorious rooster.
After hearing whispers from someone beside him, the intelligence lecturer from Dawn Military Academy, previously mocked by Ruan Xiongfei, sneered and sent a sympathetic look at Ruan Xiongfei, saying coolly,
“Bald Ruan, your boasting doesn’t matter.
The assessment’s about to start.
Just pray that the good students aren’t chosen by our academy first.
Your academy ranks at the bottom of the Five Great Colleges, so no matter how sharp your words are…”
“It’s futile.” Instructor Zhou from Taoyun Academy sneered and continued.
Ruan Xiongfei, who had been boasting, paused and lowered his hand from his bald head, slowly turning his gaze to the two, smiling sardonically, “Watch your manners, or I won’t mind having some ‘friendly’ exchange among the teachers here.”
Ruan Xiongfei deliberately emphasized the word “friendly.”
This big bald head had become completely shameless, implying that if they didn’t concede the good students, they’d have to fight?
The lecturers from the other academies glared, only to receive a cold smile from Ruan Xiongfei’s fleshy face.
“Teacher Ruan, should we go have a look when the exam officially begins?” a young teacher whispered to Ruan Xiongfei.
“No need to go.
It just started, and the physical fitness reassessment should occupy some time.
We’ll wait for the real competition,” Ruan Xiongfei decisively vetoed, finding it uninteresting to watch a bunch of cannon fodder test their physical fitness.
Seeing other academies’ representatives heading out one after another, the young teacher from Dingchuan Academy glanced at his composed superior with a tearless face.
Our academy doesn’t have much advantage, with proximity being our main edge.
But what’s the big difference between 8 light-years and 15 light-years?
With interstellar jump technology and wormholes, one can easily travel back and forth between the two places, with 8 light-years and 15 light-years differing by less than half a day.
If you don’t go to choose, how will our academy determine the seed players?
The male teacher looked at Ruan Xiongfei with dissatisfaction.
How irresponsible!
Ruan Xiongfei, with his drooping eyelids, seemed to have already seen the expression on the male teacher’s face and casually said, “My eyes are the sharpest!
We’ll watch during the fights; who’s good, who’s bad—it’s clear at a glance.”
As for checking the data?
That’s the most meaningless thing ever.
Having fought on countless battlefields, Ruan Xiongfei disregarded these things.
On the battlefield, even a person who couldn’t lift a chicken could easily take out a skilled fighter with a Gauss Rifle.
As long as one met the minimum standard for physical fitness, Ruan Xiongfei was more focused on observing the individuals’ reaction abilities and growth potential.
Probably only the dean of Dingchuan Academy knew how keen his eyes were.
Hmph, the bald uncle absentmindedly rubbed his bald head and leaned back, leaving a sentence before dozing off.
“Wake me up when the fight starts.”
…
Mu Fan followed the flow indicator, comparing his exam information, and walked to a small test area.
Machines were arranged here, with a group of onlookers whispering.
The atmosphere was lively.
Mu Fan stood at the back of the group, listening to their buzzing discussions.
“It’s about to start.
Who knows how high the record will be.”
“Hmph, first place will surely be mine, Chen Dasheng!”
“I heard this time experts from dozens of nearby planets have gathered.”
“They’re all under twenty.
How high can they get?”
…
“Please remain quiet and orderly.
We will be testing each candidate’s physical data.
Those who do not meet the standard will be disqualified on the spot!”
A stern voice rang out, and the scene immediately fell silent.
Everyone stared at the stage, as the pivotal moment in their lives finally arrived!
