Inside the school church, the atmosphere was thick and depressing. Everyone had red eyes. Even the most playful students in the class were now pounding their heads with sorrowful expressions.

This actual combat assessment had a death rate of one in twenty, which really brought too much sadness to everyone.

Huo Xinyue stared at the principal on the podium, who was recounting how many students had died unexpectedly during the practical test. Her voice was low, "We had the most casualties in the Pharmacy Department this time. I heard the other classes only had two deaths at most. Class A didn't suffer any casualties this time. The entire class was intact, with only three people injured."

Although the students of the Pharmacy Department are not very strong in combat, as an auxiliary department, they do not need to engage in direct combat with the alien beasts and insects in the examination room. Therefore, on average, their casualty rate is the lowest. The Mecha Department and Command Department, which are engaged in direct combat, as well as the Mecha Manufacturing and Maintenance Department, which also need to serve as combat personnel in the examination room, have a much higher casualty rate than them.

But even so...

The death toll in their Class F also exceeded the average number. One life may not sound like much, but those are living people!

"Oh." Ye Wenya sighed, patted Huo Xinyue's shoulder, and comforted her silently.

It's cruel to say it, but it's the truth.

On the battlefield, the strong will always have an advantage over the weak, and their chances of survival are much greater.

Most of the students who teamed up with Class A of the Pharmacy Department this time were students from Class A and Class B of the Mecha Department. On the other hand, many of their teammates in Class F of the Pharmacy Department were from the Command Department and the Mecha Maintenance Department. Even students from Class C of the Mecha Department rarely teamed up with Class F.

Under such circumstances, when attacked by Zerg at the same time, the probability of their classmates surviving is naturally much smaller than that of Class A.

If you want to change this situation, you can only work hard to improve your pharmaceutical skills and stand out in the overall grade rankings, so that you can have priority in forming an alliance with classmates with strong combat capabilities in the next practical assessment.

Fortunately, Huo Xinyue only complained a few words and stopped talking. She was now filled with regret. In the past two days, she only thought about escaping from the sea of ​​suffering and coming back alive. She must relax well, but she didn't think about the experiences of other classmates. She really shouldn't have done that.

Principal Pei is an extremely elegant and handsome orc. He always has a smiling face when he sees everyone at school, which makes the students like him very much.

But this time his tone was heavy, his eyes were red, and his voice was choked with sobs.

"A total of 2,436 students from our school have left us forever this time... The disaster came so suddenly and it is heartbreaking... We are at fault for not discovering the existence of the Zerg from the beginning, otherwise this would not have happened. On behalf of the school, I would like to apologize to all the parents and students." Principal Pei bowed deeply to everyone, his face full of fatigue.

"After this incident, I will resign from the military. The school will reform future combat assessments and strive to improve safety. We will do our utmost to prevent any accidents from happening again. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I do hope you can see the school's determination to reform..."

The Orc Empire has always worshipped the strong, and many places implemented iron-fisted policies, especially places like the Military Academy. Otherwise, the school wouldn't throw all students directly onto a primitive planet infested with exotic beasts for two weeks of field training before their annual final exams.

But it is precisely because of such arduous training that thousands of people are able to enter the army directly from the Imperial Royal Military Academy and become the elite of the troops every year. Even among the four marshals today, two are graduates of the Imperial Royal Military Academy!

If this incident had not happened this time, the practical assessment that has been going on for a thousand years in the Royal Imperial Academy would probably never have changed.

There were many rational people in the auditorium who shouted at the principal on the stage: "Principal, this is not your fault! This is not the fault of other instructors in the school! This incident was all an accident. If it weren't for the sudden wormhole that caused the Zerg to accidentally land on planet K0218, this time

This kind of thing wouldn't happen in a real combat assessment! The wormhole accident has nothing to do with you!"

"That's right! Even today's top scientists can't predict the trajectory and appearance of wormholes. How can you be blamed?! Don't resign!"

"Principal, please don't resign! This is all the Zerg's fault, how can you be blamed?"

The suppressed crying from the audience, accompanied by waves of shouting, rang out in the auditorium. Many people shouted for Principal Pei not to resign. They all liked this old principal who looked young but was actually over 240 years old.

How could the principal, who had dedicated himself to the school over the years, resign over something like this? Furthermore, this wasn't his fault in the first place.

A call from the audience made the principal burst into tears, choking and almost unable to speak.

Faced with such a sad scene, Ye Wenya sighed. Not far away, she saw a middle-aged couple crying. The husband was hugging his wife, patting her shoulders to silently comfort her.

Beside the couple, a little boy who looked about eight or nine years old tugged at the middle-aged woman's sleeve and looked up at them. His red, watery eyes were crystal clear, radiating an unprecedented determination and seriousness. "Mom, don't cry... I will definitely help my brother get revenge! Destroy those hateful Zerg!"

The child's voice was slightly childish, yet it brought tears to the middle-aged woman's eyes. She squatted down and hugged the little boy, crying, "Okay! You must study hard and train hard, and strive to become a mecha warrior like your brother."

"Yes! I will definitely work hard!" The little boy hugged the middle-aged woman and nodded seriously.

This is the agreement between him and his brother!

The speech report in the auditorium was neither long nor short, lasting for about three hours. Then all the students followed their teachers and instructors to their classrooms.

Only the grieving family members remained in the auditorium to talk with the principal. The family members wanted the school to hold a final funeral for their children to send them off, and they also hoped that the school could issue them a special graduation certificate to comfort their souls in heaven.

Being able to successfully graduate from the Imperial Royal Military Academy can be considered as fulfilling their last wish.

Ye Wenya followed the crowd and walked towards the teaching building. The teaching building of the Department of Pharmacy was a separate 8-story building. The whole building was surrounded by green trees, and some trees were even taller than the teaching building.

If you ignore the other tall auxiliary buildings and facilities such as the library and the pharmacy, the Pharmacy Department looks like a poor orphan.

There is no other reason, there are simply too few people in their department.

The entire department, including all teachers, has less than 1,500 people in total.

But even if the number of students is small, the Department of Pharmacy is still a popular major in the Imperial Royal Military Academy. The honor and money it earns for the school every year are enough to fill two airships.

Therefore, the school specially allocated a large area to the Department of Pharmacy.

Apart from the simple teaching buildings and surrounding facilities, the rest of these lands have been used by the department as medicinal herb planting bases and jungle green belts.

If someone who doesn't know about plants comes here, they might think this is an agricultural college.

Looking at the large green medicinal herb planting area on campus, Ye Wenya subconsciously used her mental power to scan it, and her pair of eyes as clear as amber lit up instantly!

In the vast green medicinal herb planting area, many small white robots are busy back and forth in the medicinal fields. This kind of complicated work requires patience. The careful robots are far more capable than many stupid ones.

Clumsy orcs are more suitable.

However, Ye Wenya's attention was not on the lush medicinal plants. Instead, her eyes were fixed on a large area of ​​flowers, plants and trees surrounding the teaching building not far away.

A rich scent of demonic plants floated in the air. Although the level of the demonic plants was not high, the highest was only level 3, but there were huge numbers of them now. With a slight sweep of mental power, he could sense dozens of them!

This made Ye Wenya, who had been on the interstellar spaceship for several days without seeing a magic plant, excited and her eyes lit up.

A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

This, this, this, this...

This place really is paradise!

You can see so many magical plants wherever you go.

Ye Wenya was like a mouse that fell into a rice jar. She was so excited that she couldn't speak!

"What’s wrong with you?……"

Huo Xinyue reached out and nudged Ye Wenya. Her friend, who had been expressionless just moments before, suddenly flashed with excitement, her face flushing with excitement. If it weren't for the teaching building directly in front of them, Huo Xinyue would have suspected her roommate had seen some naked handsome man. After all, in Huo Xinyue's memory, every time she saw her roommate this excited, it was when she saw Fang Shaoyuan.

"No, nothing..."

Ye Wenya shook her head and tried hard to suppress the excitement on her face, but the corners of her mouth that involuntarily turned up betrayed her inner thoughts at the moment.

The girl's peach blossom eyes sparkled, and the curve of her mouth made her smile sweet. She was obviously a gorgeous face, but at this moment, Huo Xinyue and Jian Jiawei could only see some naivety and tenderness in her.

Especially the excited blush that was slightly shimmering with pink luster, and the cute appearance, which made the two girls stunned on the spot.

Huo Xinyue coughed dryly. She felt that after this practical test, her roommate seemed to have changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed.

Probably...

Looks better?

The second-grade F classroom was the innermost one on the right side of the third floor. The three of them found their own seats.

"Oh! What should I do? I'm so nervous... I didn't do well in this practical test and my score is very low. Will I not be able to go to the third grade next semester and have to repeat the second grade?" A pretty girl with a ponytail was chattering in the crowd, a hint of worry revealed on her face.

The same was true for the other people around him.

In the previous second, they were still feeling sad about the passing of other classmates, and in the next second, the tense atmosphere of the final exam results made them feel a little overwhelmed.

"The promotion rate from second grade to third grade is still very high. We shouldn't be held back." Someone nearby said uncertainly.

"Oh! Ye Wenya is still the best. Based on Ye Wenya's actual combat performance this year, she is the most stable in our class!"
