Why am I not on the list?
In a closed room made of cold metal, a young soldier in camouflage uniform voices his discontented questions to his superior sitting behind a desk.
This is the office of the commander of the most capable special forces unit on Planet HX.
The person asking the question was Yi Mu, the third son of the Yi family, a renowned military family on the planet and an elite member of the special forces.
His superior, He Ming, faced with such a blunt question, only responded with five cold words: "You have no right to interfere."
Yi Mu slammed his hand on the table, bent down, and looked at He Ming.
His eyebrows slanted sharply towards his temples, instantly making his already handsome features appear more angular.
"In the past decade of interstellar special forces combat competitions, I have consistently placed in the top three. Sir, I need your explanation: why is my name not on this year's competition roster?"
For He Ming, a commander known for his strictness and iron-fisted nature, the third son of the Yi family was an extremely troublesome figure.
His combat capabilities are unparalleled; whether it's his skill in controlling mechs or his close-quarters combat abilities, they far surpass those of other soldiers in the unit.
However, Yimu has a fatal flaw that other alpha soldiers do not have.
He Ming pressed his finger on the table, and a transparent panel appeared in mid-air, displaying the planetary calendar.
In addition to recording the dates of every important meeting and military exercise, the commander's calendar also had a very strange mark.
The marker was red, making it very noticeable among the many cool-toned markers.
He Ming pointed to 22 and looked up at Yi Mu.
"If we let you go, your body might uncontrollably go into overdrive during the match..."
Yi Mu interrupted him, his tone certain: "That won't happen. My pheromones haven't spread even if I don't take suppressants for a while."
He Ming and Yi Mu's father were once comrades-in-arms, and he really couldn't understand why everyone in their family was so stubborn.
He Ming absolutely cannot allow Yi Mu to enter this competition.
"This competition is not a regular sparring match; the specific content involved is still unknown."
“You are the only son left in the Yi family this generation. I absolutely cannot let you take any risks.”
The last sentence is the key, right? Yi Mu stood up and plopped down in the chair.
He looked at his superior with a half-smile, exuding a sinister aura that was not typical of soldiers.
"You can't exclude me from some competitions just because my father and brother sacrificed their lives on the battlefield. That's not protection; it's a denial of my personal abilities."
He has a knack for making white appear black and black appear colorful, and he can do so in a way that leaves no room for argument.
He Ming was instructed by Elder Yi that he absolutely could not let Yi Mu go to this competition.
So even if Yi Mu argued with him until the end, it wouldn't make a difference.
"You have training this afternoon, go back and eat, don't waste your time here."
After much pleading and cajoling, Yi Mu only got this result and left in a huff.
However, given his personality, he would never accept a predetermined outcome.
Instead of going to the army canteen, he turned a corner and went to the technical company.
It's generally unlikely that Yi Mu, the playboy in the military, would have any connection with the bookish, science-oriented guys on the technical side who only know how to bury themselves in research.
But by chance, he met someone.
Ge Guang, an inconspicuous nobody in the technical platoon, is actually a computer expert.
I heard that Ge Guang was sent out for this competition, but he was left out, even though he is the elite of the elite.
This was unacceptable to the proud Yimu, so he had to find a way to get his name on the list.
