Of course, we cannot view the past with the perspective of today. Back then, there was internal turmoil and external chaos, and the means required to quell everything were extraordinary.
However, under the current bloated system, the military is no longer like a military, and the people are no longer like the people.
He, Kongming, also missed the military region that used to be solely responsible for combat. Back then, the military region was loved and respected by everyone and was quite popular. Now... only its reputation remains.
How many years has it been? He hasn't seen people who genuinely love and respect the military region like that since the beginning of the year.
Aside from the superhumans instilled with patriotism and loyalty to the military within the safe zone, everyone else, whether civilians or powerful groups, is dissatisfied with the current military region. Although things had improved somewhat in the past few decades, the era of authoritarianism has returned since the old military commanders stepped down.
Eh... In this war of invasion by foreign races, I don't know whether it's good or bad.
Nothing was said that night.
The F4 team is still competing with the championship team to see who can complete more tasks of higher quality before the friendly match.
However, no A-level missions appeared in the mission center for a long time, and B-level missions were snatched up by the two teams as soon as they appeared.
Until the upcoming friendly competition between freshmen and sophomores, the champion team completed 17 C-level missions and 4 B-level missions. The F4 team, on the other hand, completed 24 C-level missions and 2 B-level missions.
Liu Lang's team won in terms of quantity, but the champion team won in terms of quality.
"What a boring competition."
Han Fangfang couldn't help but facepalm. She didn't know why they were actually trying to determine who was better based on the results of their competition, and then neither of them would admit defeat, acting like little kids.
"Sister Fang, it's time for us to go on stage."
The second-year students were about to give their presentations when Lan Hao came back from the front and reminded everyone to get ready.
Han Fangfang saw Principal Kong Ming through the direction Lan Hao came from, and he was looking at the Champion Team and the F4 Team. Suddenly, she realized what was going on.
"Okay, okay, even though they're not participating, there's still an exhibition match, right?"
She had been wondering why Zhan Lingchuan and Bu Xiaosa were so bored that they were competing against each other in the results of their tasks. It turns out that it was all in preparation for the upcoming exhibition match.
"Next, please welcome our second-year students with a round of applause!"
It was the familiar duo of Zhou Xuexue and Fu Zirui hosting again. Surprisingly, they didn't leave with the senior students from the previous year, but stayed at the school and became teaching assistants for the teachers a year early.
They are still the ones hosting this friendly match, and they also hosted the recent freshman competition not long ago.
With the introductions from Fu Zirui and Zhou Xuexue, everyone got to know the strongest team of this year's sophomores - the Victory Team!
Four early-stage SS-level ability users, who almost defeated the champion team ranked first in their sophomore year.
Apart from the champion team and the F4 team, which did not make it to the stage, the average level of the remaining seven teams is at the late stage of the second star level. Almost every team has a senior student at the peak of the second star level, including the elite team of Teacher Dolan's Superpower Class 6.
Those were S-class monitor Cui Zehao, who possessed the S-level ability to split the earth, and S-class monitor Zhang Shengyuan, who possessed the S-level ability to be a scholar, among others.
They also made it into the elite building and challenged the top-ranked teams, securing their place after winning.
The freshmen present thought that after the introductions, a three-day friendly match would begin. However, to their surprise, the champion team and the F4 team, who were not participating in this event, each sent two people to put on a wonderful exhibition match for everyone!
On one side were Zhan Lingchuan, the captain of the champion team, and Chang Shan, a team member; on the other side were Liu Shenjun and Dai Shanren from the F4 team.
Two of the strongest individual fighters faced off against two unparalleled sword and shield wielders, a battle between SSS-level and SS-level superpowered individuals and two D-level superpowered individuals.
Because of their frequent private practice sessions, Zhan Lingchuan and Chang Shan already knew how to defeat Liu Shenjun and Dai Shanren's teamwork.
But this time they were exceptionally tenacious, repeatedly blocking Zhan Lingchuan and his team's attacks amidst the huge waves of cheers from the freshmen present, and even retaliating several times, putting them under great pressure.
In the end, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the freshmen, the champion team defeated the combination of Liu Shenjun and Dai Shanren at the cost of forcibly losing Chang Shan.
With passionate speeches from Fu Zirui and Zhou Xuexue, the first day of the freshman and sophomore friendly match officially began!
...
In the backcourt lounge.
Liu Shenjun bandaged Chang Shan's body with a frustrated expression.
"Why are you risking your life in an exhibition match? That sword wouldn't have hurt Lao Zhan at all, but you insisted on coming out to take it head-on. Is it worth it to win?"
"Damn it, take it easy! Did you even check your companion's defense level before you said that? It's almost four stars! Are you trying to raise a giant hedgehog to annoy us instead of dealing with you quickly?"
Chang Shan's words resonated with Zhan Lingchuan. They had sparred with each other dozens of times during training, but the game couldn't be played in the later stages. In the early stages, Liu Shenjun would cut them down with a single, penetrating sword strike. The only way to win was to have a quick battle in the mid-game.
To avoid being hit by Liu Shenjun's sword moves, Chang Shan had to sacrifice himself and fight to the death, forcing Dai Shanren to take his place. Without a shield, the sword could not withstand Zhan Lingchuan's fast attack and could only suffer a regrettable defeat.
However, the many exciting battles and thrilling counterattacks during the game kept all the students entertained.
The second-year students were fine, but the first-year students were also staring at them with admiration. The four D-level ability users were a level higher than the SS-level ability users of the Victory Squad, and their combat power was extremely terrifying. They also recognized that it seemed to be an ability sword and a paladin.
