However, after an afternoon of "meaningless" activities such as marching and standing at attention, many people couldn't sit still anymore.
Especially the mages, whose physiques were already weaker than those of the warriors, had their physical strength further weakened after their magic was sealed. After a hard afternoon of physical training, they couldn't sit still any longer and said they didn't want the credits and wanted to go back.
Bella and Ye Chen were prepared for this situation and announced that the military training was the entrance ceremony for the Elf Royal Academy. Only students who officially passed the military training could be considered as formal students of the academy. Any student who chose to give up could leave on their own, and the academy would not stop them, but they would lose their formal admission qualification.
Upon hearing this news, everyone fell silent. Even if they were unwilling, no one dared to object, since no one wanted to actually leave.
Fortunately, as time went by, everyone gradually adapted and got used to the high-intensity physical training of military training. It was only a month in total. In this magical world, the girls didn't even have to worry about getting tanned. Apart from being a little tired, there was nothing they couldn't accept.
The idea of military training came to Ye Chen on a whim one night. In the subsequent training, he continued to improve the content of the military training, not just sticking to marching and forming ranks, but moving towards the real military training in military academies. He even added some modified elements to match this magical world.
A month is enough to make these powerless students feel like they're dying and coming back to life, experiencing both ecstasy and agony!
Indeed, this was the case. Countless students wanted to give up countless times during this month, and some did choose to give up. However, they suddenly discovered that the academy refused to provide free return teleportation arrays for these students who chose to give up. If they wanted to go back, they had to pay for their own travel expenses.
No one could afford the expensive teleportation fee on their own. They tried to pool their money together, but found that they didn't have enough. They could only think of living in the Elf King's City for a while to save up some money for the journey back.
However, they found that after losing their status as second-level residents, they faced immense difficulties in the Elf King's City. Forget about making money, even finding a place to live became a problem.
You have to understand that without residency status, you can only stay in hotels. And now that businessmen can open hotels and inns, wouldn't they raise prices sharply and make a killing? You know, they've spent a lot of money on obtaining residency status and renovations, so they need to recoup their investment as quickly as possible.
In the end, these students were so unfortunate that they had to live outside the city. But nowadays, the area outside the city in Xiniu Hezhou is not safe. All kinds of strange beasts roam freely. Although they dare not attack the Silver Osmanthus Moon Elves, they are not polite to ordinary citizens like them. Caravans travel by teleportation array or in groups. These students were so frightened that they wanted to go back to school that night.
But giving up is easy, turning back is hard. The school has completely erased their student status and will no longer recruit them... The miserable state of these students was seen by others, and some students who wanted to leave immediately stopped in their tracks. Why leave? Didn't you see what those people looked like?
No one knows what happened to these people in the end. Anyway, several years passed and no one saw them again. Perhaps they had died outside the city?
"Oh my god! Why are there ghostly figures like that? I've been scared out of my wits these past few days!" Sarah said, patting her chest with lingering fear at the dinner table.
During the military training these past few nights, the instructors took them to a cave with a chilling wind. It was truly eerie, with ghostly figures occasionally appearing. The instructors then made them walk through the cave alone, and some of them even fainted on the spot from fright.
"It's just a haunted house, what can those people do to us? What's so scary about it?" said Black Luluga of the Luluga tribe, who was the most composed of all the people on the journey.
“No! Those are real ghosts, I… can’t smell them!” Harold said slowly, this was what frightened him the most.
"Ah!!! Stop talking! Shut up! Heavenly Emperor above, please protect us and keep us safe from ghosts! Please protect us and keep us safe from ghosts!" Catherine screamed, then clasped her hands together, narrowed her eyes, and prayed continuously.
This has been their daily morning practice for a while. The instructors would lead them in meditation for a period of time, and the content was related to the Primordial Star and the Heavenly Emperor.
These are the things that Ye Chen and the others compiled later. The purpose of military training is not only to train their teamwork and execution, but also to make them truly loyal to the Primordial Star and Ye Chen. Otherwise, if these powerful individuals, who have been cultivated with huge resources, eventually betray the Primordial Star, Ye Chen will probably be devastated.
"What's the point of this military training? Running, lining up, climbing mountains, wading through rivers... that was one thing, but recently they've started doing things like walking through fiery mountains, ice mountains, thunder seas, haunted houses... and even things like blindness and deafness that deprive you of your five senses... it feels really weird!" said the short fox-clan boy.
"Anyway, the school is just going to mess with us as much as they want. This past month has been absolutely brutal!" Heluga said.
"Alright, did you hear anyone die? It was just to scare us. Haven't you noticed that your physical condition has improved a lot lately?" Harold said. The werewolf bloodline is different from others; it is a bloodline power that can be activated. Therefore, the power that he has been suppressing is relatively small, so he can clearly feel himself getting stronger these days.
"That's true, I haven't heard anything about anyone dying anywhere!"
"Hey you guys! Are you even going to eat? Can you stop talking about dead people all the time? We just came out of a haunted house, okay?" Catherine started to lose her temper. Everyone shrugged helplessly, continued eating, and then returned to their dormitories to rest.
Harold, however, seemed lost in thought the whole way. These past few days, he had been carefully searching for the other person's scent whenever he entered the haunted house. As a werewolf, he was extremely sensitive to smells, but he found that he really couldn't smell anything at all, as if the other person had just appeared out of thin air behind him.
Moreover, the appearance of these things gave him a creepy feeling, making him unable to help but be on guard.
"What is this? Could it really be a ghost?" Harold wondered to himself.
