The Weathered Uncle, the homeroom teacher of Special Class One, stood behind three newly assigned students: a pair of twin girls and a cold-looking boy.
The homeroom teacher of Special Class Two is Maya, and she currently has only one student behind her, the ten-year-old Golden-Haired Alice.
Rek looked at the class assigned to him on his Wrist Communicator, which turned out to be Regular Classes Level One Class Four, not the Special Class Two taught by Maya. Rek felt a bit unhappy.
"This is unfair! The students in Special Class don’t seem stronger than us. Why are they assigned to a Special Teacher?
I can already perform Genetic Mecha Armor Transformation, and I got placed in Regular Classes!” Before Rek could voice his objections, a bold new student among them shouted loudly.
With the first voice raised, other new students in the training ground began to join in.
“Resist the unfairness! Class assignments need to be fair!”
“The Federation Star Alliance Military should conduct class assignments justly!”
“I want to go to Special Class One. The Weathered Uncle is so cool!” shouted a slightly chubby girl from below.
“I want to go to Special Class Two. I want Maya, the Sword Goddess, as my homeroom teacher,” a boy yelled.
“Give me fairness! Resist the unfair class assignments, resist the shady operations!” Rek joined in the commotion on the playground.
“Hehehe! You all have such great energy!” The androgynous Old Principal let out an eerie laugh from the podium, instantly silencing the chaotic scene with her strange voice.
“The first few assigned to Special Class are all awakened individuals who have fused with Genetic Mech.
Those with outstanding genetic traits and physical conditions have a certain probability of awakening their Ability after fusing with Genetic Mech.
"The future combat power of Ability users doesn't need my introduction," the Old Principal said, raising his right hand, which was dry and painted with pink nail polish, signaling a few new students assigned to Special Class to demonstrate their abilities.
In Special Class One, three students from Cang Sang Uncle's class quickly floated several water balls and fireballs in front of the Twin Sisters, while Cold-Blooded Boy had several blades floating in front of him.
In Special Class Two, behind Alice from Maya's class appeared a monkey holding a large metal rod.
Yes, it was indeed a large monkey.
Rek was stunned when he saw the monkey materializing behind Alice. It was not some Ability summoning technique; it was a biological entity representing combat power.
During the time when Alien Species were attacking the Main Plane of Earth, an unknown powerful creature known as Victorious Monkey emerged later on, single-handedly taking down several formidable Eerie Species.
Unfortunately, both the Star Alliance Federation and the Glorious Empire had tried to recruit it but were unsuccessful.
Unexpectedly, Alice, a fellow traveler like himself, had not been idle this past month; she managed to obtain the Moon Goddess Divine Healer. He didn't know how she tricked her way into getting this incredibly powerful Victorious Monkey as her helper.
Previously, even the War God System Feather mentioned that there was a dormant Victorious Monkey on Earth. Due to its immense power, they chose to approach Alice instead of trying to parasitize the monkey to avoid any unforeseen variables.
On the playground, after watching several Special Class students showcase their Ability effects, the previously reluctant new students fell completely silent.
After all, the number of Genetic Mech Ability Awakeners is scarce. As Genetic Mech's strength increases, the effects of their Abilities also become more powerful. At the same level, they can almost completely overpower ordinary Genetic Mecha Warriors.
Currently, among the strongest Genetic Mecha Warriors in the Star Alliance Military, two-thirds have awakened their Abilities.

For a moment, the Metal Playground became particularly quiet.
The Old Principal, with long hair and a white beard, stepped forward and said in a sticky, strange voice, "Freshmen, wasn't your enthusiasm before aimed at joining the Special Class? Why are you hesitating now?
The Super Soldier Academy is the cradle of strong warriors, where many senior generals of the Star Alliance Military have emerged.
Our motto at the Super Soldier Academy is: Fearless and Striving. There are no dark secrets or underhanded dealings as you previously mentioned.
From the moment you entered the Super Soldier Academy Fortress, your extraordinary journey was destined.
The first-year Special Class does not only recruit students who have awakened their Ability talents; it also accepts true warriors with potential.
I am giving you a chance—a chance to possibly join the Special Class, a chance to change your destiny.
Bravely step onto the Arena, students.
Face off against Orland, the homeroom teacher of the Enhanced Combat Mecha Special Forces in the first year,
or challenge Maya, the homeroom teacher of Special Class Two. As long as you can withstand three minutes of attacks from the homeroom teacher of the Special Class you wish to join once you step onto the Arena, you will be able to join that class.
Rest assured, when the homeroom teachers of the Special Class engage with you, they will not use Genetic Mecha Armor Transformation and will go easy on you. Moreover, there are fifteen advanced recovery Special Treatment Pods behind the Arena; as long as you don't die, you can be revived.
Is there a brave student willing to give it a try? The spots are limited; each Special Class only recruits five students each year."
As soon as the Old Principal finished speaking, many students on the Metal Playground were eager to try out, and most began to whisper among themselves.
Rek heard about this opportunity to enter Maya's class, which he hoped for.
"I want to challenge Maya and join her class!" Rek shouted loudly as he ran up to the Arena.
"Young man, you are very brave!" The androgynous Old Principal stood in front of Rek and gave him an encouraging smile.
Rek almost couldn't resist throwing a punch.
Maya, holding a sheathed longsword in her right hand, walked to the center of the Arena. "State your name, newcomer. As the first challenger this year hoping to join Special Class Two, I will go easy on you."
Rek took a step forward, his heartfelt gaze fixed on Maya, making the twenty-five-year-old Maya feel that Rek's expression was quite strange.
A sincere voice came from Rek's mouth: "Maya, don't you remember me? Do you have no impression of me at all? My name is Rek!"
Although Rek knew that the class leader Maya from the Biochemical World in Infinite Loop was created by the War God System's projection of the real-world Maya, after spending so many years together in the virtual Biohazard World, he still hoped that the current Maya would possess memories similar to his own—those beautiful yet cruel memories.
"Did we know each other before?" Maya asked in confusion. Although she had no recollection of Rek in her heart, looking at this young student, his genuine demeanor didn't seem like a lie.
"We knew each other, of course! Your longsword is named Aoyue, your swordsmanship style is Moonlight Extreme Flow, and you even taught me how to practice swordsmanship!" Rek tried to speak, hoping to jog Maya's memory about their experiences in the Biohazard World.
Although he knew the hope was slim, the Maya created by the War God System in the virtual world of Biohazard was exactly like the current one in appearance and personality, but their memories and souls were different.
"You actually know the name of my longsword and my martial arts style? When did I ever teach you how to practice swordsmanship?" Maya asked with increasing confusion.
