Qualifying new students before enrollment is a tradition of federal universities, a practice that has been maintained since the university's founding hundreds of years ago.
Today, as one of the top schools in the Federal Security District, its entrance exams attract a large audience, and the exams are broadcast live on StarNet.
This is an annual opportunity to showcase the strength of the teaching staff. Even many nobles within the safe zone will not miss it. Students who perform well and have potential will be courted and sponsored by them.
Within the federal university campus, which almost occupied the center of the security zone, several colleges began to stir with barely perceptible activity.
Posts on the campus forum were scrolling by incredibly fast.
The post titled "[The young master of the He family has arrived!]" stood out and was pushed to the top.
OP: Did you guys see the spaceship at the school gate?! Sure enough, the young master of the He family also came to Federal University this year, just like He Wei!!! [Pictures][Pictures][Pictures]
Let's also admire the young master's stunning good looks.
1L: Front row! Young Master He Xing is said to be the most talented individual in the He family this generation, so it's only natural that he went to the Federal University! After all, his sister is here.
2L: Thanks for sharing, OP. Did you just return to the safe zone? Do you know when He Wei is coming back? I haven't seen my goddess for a month, sad.
3L: I know that! I heard that a special admissions team from one district was admitted this year, and it was even recommended by the dean! He Wei's team stayed behind to pick up the students.
4L: !! Is the news true? What kind of person is it that my goddess has to pick them up?!
5L: Is the main point who went to pick them up? The main point is that the dean actually recommended someone! In all these years, apart from that person from the Third Legion, the dean has never recommended any student!
6L: Does anyone know the news?
...
56L: I think I know this. Before returning, He Wei's team leader was supposed to pick up the newcomers, but they were supposedly stood up by them...
57L: So why hasn't my goddess He Wei come back yet!
58L: Calm down upstairs. By the way, I think I smell some gossip.
59L: I'm asking for the person upstairs. Since they haven't come, why haven't they returned yet? Today is the entrance exam. I heard that Saide and Alfoseni are in their team this year.
60L: Has the Saide and Alfosen not arrived yet?!
61L: I just got back too, so I know a little bit. They... are probably still waiting for someone in Zone 1, but judging by the time, they should be back by now.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. A new student recommended by Viktor, the dean of the Individual Soldier Academy, had an unknown background but came from the most barren district of the Exile.
The college sent someone to pick him up, fine, but he actually stood up the Federal University!
The post froze for a moment, then instantly surged to the top of the forum's homepage.
Shocking replies sprang up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
233L: I recently injured my ear while working in the field, and my eyesight seems to be a little blurry. Is this what I mean?
245L: Provincial Flow: The freshman recommended by the dean stood up the school, making them wait for half a month in vain.
248L: I don't know whether to be shocked that Dean Victor would actually recommend someone, or that we were actually stood up, or that our people are still persisting after being stood up for half a month in a row?!
250L: Has anyone booked tickets for the freshman selection competition? I'll book first, because I want to see what this freshman is all about.
251L: +1
252L: +2
...
355L: You guys are chatting so enthusiastically, but I'm the only one still wondering if the freshmen haven't arrived yet since He Wei hasn't come back.
356L: The person upstairs is right. I don't know what everyone is so excited about. Wouldn't it be better for Meimei to have the training room all to herself while all the freshmen are competing?
358L: I suggest you check out the tickets for StarNet, they've already sold out.
359L: LOL, everyone's saying there's nothing to see, but they're all secretly buying tickets.
360L: This may be the freshman selection competition with the largest number of students ever. By the way, the selection competition is about to begin.
361L: I hope they won't be able to come. I don't care about special admissions. I want to see Saide and Alfoseny.
362L: Breaking news, the person has arrived. Look at the top of their head.
After saying this, the man disappeared without a trace. Most of the spectators who had already taken their seats in the selected training ground stands subconsciously looked up at the sky.
They then fell silent, letting the messages on the communication screen keep flashing.
The freshman selection competition venue was a place with raised seating on all sides and several huge arenas in the center.
Federal universities select only soldiers with outstanding natural abilities, and most of them will join the security zone guard after graduation.
Those ranked lower will be randomly assigned to the Exile Legion.
This is not just a selection process, but also a starting point for those promising talents to emerge, to be seen from here, and then to climb step by step to higher positions.
The guards of the safe zone hold the highest status and honor among all army groups.
All the new students were secretly preparing with bated breath.
The intense gazes from the surrounding stands, the upcoming live broadcast, and the even more eyes hidden behind the cameras will magnify their every move.
Some people subtly puffed out their chests, making it easier to show themselves off.
A sudden commotion arose from the surrounding audience seats. They were stunned for a moment. He Xing, who had been sitting in the rest area with his eyes closed the whole time, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.
Those who had been secretly watching him also looked over.
Upon seeing this, he completely lost his composure.
