On the morning of the opening ceremony for the Fifth Military Academy League.
Representatives from the ten selected military academies, dressed in their respective uniforms, marched in neat formations and entered the camp's largest training ground on time.
The live web broadcast started simultaneously, allowing everyone in the Federation to witness this grand opening ceremony!
Bullet comments flooded the screen the moment the broadcast went live.
Qilin reporting in!
First Military Academy reporting in!
Santorini reporting in!
Yuying Military Academy reporting in!
Zhaori reporting in!
Congratulations from the First Military Region!
Congratulations from the Fifth Military Region, go get 'em, kids!
People enthusiastically announced their alma maters, and even the folks from the major military regions couldn't sit still!
How long had it been since the Federation hosted such a grand event!? Especially in recent years, the news had been full of nothing but bad news!
Things like the accelerated mutation of star beasts, the increasing number of wormholes, the Zerg evolving advanced intelligence, Zerg parasitism...
Now, there was finally a positive event!
The Fifth Military Academy League!
Who knew how many stunningly brilliant students would emerge this time?
Item one: raise the flag and play the national anthem!
Everyone present saluted the morning sun.
The camera panned across slightly youthful faces. Just looking at these spirited young people made one feel that the Federation's future was full of infinite hope!
That's our Cheng Qian from Zhaori!!
As expected, the First Military Academy's uniforms look the best!
Ahhh! The military cadets are so handsome!!
I'm going to the First Military Academy in the future too!
After the national anthem finished playing,
Two hosts in military uniforms delivered a passionate opening speech! They announced the official opening of the League!
Following a speech by the chairman of the organizing committee, the hosts announced the next speaker: the Chief of the Federation Military Department, Marshal Meng!
Hearing this, Wang Tianwei couldn't help but crane her neck to look!
The Chief of the Military Department! All ten military regions were under his command! The only person above him was the Head of State!
Who knew when she would get to see him in person again!
Meng Chongyun was exactly sixty this year. He had short hair about the same length as Yama Chao, except Chao Hao's hair was still black, whereas his was completely gray.
His steps were steady as he walked onto the stage, each step seemingly carrying an innate sense of oppression!
When he stood in the center of the stage, both teachers and students couldn't help but hold their breath for a moment!
The only sound in the entire venue was the click! click! of the media taking photos!
Gripping the microphone with his mechanical right hand, he spoke.
Good morning, soldiers of the Federation.
Good morning, Chief!!!
A single greeting made everyone incredibly pumped up!
Meng Chongyun's left eye was also a mechanical bionic eye, completely unadorned on the outside. His gaze swept equally across the flags of every military academy.
Those who can stand here today are the elites of the major military academies and the reserve forces of the Federation's ten military regions!
This League is not just a competition; we also want to see if you have truly inherited the will of the Federation's soldiers!
Everyone, are you ready to be inspected by the people?
We! Are! Ready!!
Hundreds of peace doves took flight simultaneously, officially kicking off the League!
The hosts on stage announced the time and rules for the first match.
The first match is a survival competition. All participants are requested to arrive at two o'clock this afternoon at...
Wang Tianwei touched her chest, her heart surging with emotion. Marshal Meng's short speech seemed to have ignited her heroic spirit!
After all the rules were introduced.
Sir Huang, I'm feeling a bit excited!
We're going to be competing against nine other military academies!
My heart is pounding...
Huang Yan smiled when he saw his three companions also clutching their chests.
This is called having your blood boil with passion!
Wang Tianwei took several deep breaths before she could forcefully suppress the urge to run a few laps around the field!
Alright, I'm ready to win the championship!
Me too!!
The survival match is starting this afternoon! Let's do our best, everyone!!
Journalists wearing press badges were finally allowed into the venue for interviews, grabbing students from random schools to start asking questions!
Excuse me, does the First Military Academy have confidence in the results of this League?
Of course! We are the strongest!
Santorini has sent five teams this time. How many do you think will pass the survival match?
Our intention is to let every student gain experience...
Since the last Military Academy League, Qilin has rarely appeared in other Federation events. What kind of expectations did you bring this time?
The core principle of our Qilin is...
Even Chao Hao was caught and forced to say some polite platitudes, and Feng Yi was nabbed as well!
Seeing that the questions were getting increasingly tricky, Wang Tianwei and the others didn't dare to steal the spotlight for publicity at this time... It would be better to win the first match first!
So the group specifically slipped through the gaps in the crowd.
Although we aren't allowed to pilot mechas in the first match, rifles are much stronger than laser guns!
Jian Jingyu walked at the very back.
Back in the day, we were competitors who conquered Mount Juji with just a laser gun!
That's right! This time we can also bring spatial buttons, and there are no restrictions on cold weapons!! If we want to eliminate someone, we just need to use paintballs!
We will definitely win!
Heh! Just you guys?
Wang Tianwei was leading the way with her head down, her line of sight filled entirely with tall figures, not noticing that they had already walked over to the Valk team's side.
Seeing a few sneaky people approaching, and then hearing what they said, the Valk students sneered.
If the First Military Academy said that, we might actually listen!
Huang Yan couldn't be bothered to respond and pushed Wang Tianwei to make her speed up.
Who doesn't know that Qilin takes in just about anyone?
Even inferior species can be brought to participate in the competition... Don't worry, we from Valk will definitely snipe you into oblivion.
The boy speaking had a face full of freckles, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to make a shooting gesture.
The four-person squad finally stopped in their tracks.
Who are you calling an inferior species?
Jian Jingyu's voice was deep and low.
Heh! You guys even dragged a demi-human here! Why didn't you just bring a bear on a leash!?
Zhang Lyra grabbed Jian Jingyu's arm.
Don't lower yourself to their level. The rules just stated that private brawls between military academies will result in disqualification!
Huang Yan stood firmly in place.
Are your bowels so loose that you can just spew whatever crap you want?
The Valk student tilted his head and tossed his blonde hair.
Huang Yan... you really are a disgrace to your father.
With a young master like you willingly degenerating to mix with demi-humans at Qilin, is Taihe about to fall into ruin too?
They can actually represent Qilin in the competition?
Hahahaha, doesn't every tournament have a few free kills?
Wang Tianwei stood up straight and faced the two Valk students.
Just looking at your faces gives off the feeling of beasts in human clothing. Your bodies must be even more bulletproof, right? Then I won't hold back when I eliminate you.
???
Talking so dirty, did you forget to wipe your mouth after going to the toilet?
Wang Tianwei!? I was wondering who it was! You boy-crazy girl, stay away from me!
What are you afraid of? A boy-crazy girl wouldn't even look your way anyway!?
