In the bedroom of the Overall Commander at Sanctuary Base, Aunt Xue was filling a wooden tub with hot water for Muku Tenmu to soak his feet.
"Tenmu, what do you think of the boy Xiaoya brought back?" Aunt Xue asked gently.
"I had my subordinates investigate his background in detail. Unfortunately, he barely qualifies as a promising new recruit with decent abilities. There is no sign of any family influence behind him," Muku Tenmu replied regretfully.
"Would you agree with Xiaoya then? From the look on her face today, she seems to have a good impression of this boy named Rek. Xiaoya is usually very aloof with others, and it's rare for her to have the courage to bring a man home to meet you, even if he is a bit young," Aunt Xue said, recalling how Rek had confronted Muku Tenmu earlier in the day, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"This new recruit Rek, if we were an ordinary family, as long as Xiaoya likes him, I would agree. But you know our situation; Rek has no backing or family influence at all, and he simply doesn't match up to our Xiaoya. Free love doesn't exist for someone like Xiaoya at her age. She was born into the Mu Family, and some things must be sacrificed," Muku Tenmu said with a hint of melancholy.
"Can't you give this Rek a chance? You said he has potential," Aunt Xue continued to persuade him.
"This little rascal Rek! For your sake, I can give him and Xiaoya a chance. However, this opportunity is slim. If Rek truly is destined for Xiaoya and his actual strength surpasses what is shown in his file, then what if he joins our Mu Family? I still have a few decades left to support Rek and help him grow. His courage is commendable. But at such a young age, even if he knows how to hide his strength, it won't be that impressive," Muku Tenmu pondered before speaking.
"Alright, Tenmu, just give Rek and Maya a chance. At least let them try; even if it doesn't work out, Maya won't hold it against you too much in the future," Aunt Xue said.

The next day, Maya took the neatly dressed Rek to the cafeteria at Sanctuary Base for breakfast. Along the way, many commanders pointed and whispered about Rek.
"I heard this is the boyfriend that the young lady brought back from outside!"
"Look! Oh my, it turns out the young lady likes younger boys! No wonder I, who have watched her grow up since childhood, never had a chance."
"I heard this boy named Rek is also Maya's student!"
"A teacher-student relationship! The young lady really knows how to have fun! It seems that children from powerful families are different from us."
"I'm just telling you, don't tell anyone else, but last night the young lady moved in with this boy she brought back!"
"Ah! My young lady is getting married, too bad the groom isn't me!"
--- The commanders they encountered along the way were whispering among themselves.
Maya gritted her teeth and listened, her face turning red. Holding her long sword, she felt an urge to draw it and cut down these gossiping commanders.
On the other hand, Rek was happily listening.
"You commanders at Sanctuary Base are very enthusiastic, that's nice," Rek said with a smile.
"Enthusiastic my foot! Hurry up and eat. After breakfast, we need to go to the training ground inside Sanctuary Base. Aunt Xue texted me this morning saying my father will set up a test there to choose my future husband," Maya said somewhat angrily.
"Your dad is going to give me a test? Your dad agreed to our marriage! I must have misread the situation yesterday; I didn't expect General Muku Tenmu to be so open-minded. Looks like I really am quite charming," Rek said in surprise after hearing this.
"Of course, it's surprising. You're not the only one participating in Dad's exam; he announced a month ago that he was looking for a husband for me.
Now, I heard from Aunt Xue that the internal training ground has gathered the twelve most outstanding unmarried members of the Star Alliance Military along with direct descendants from prominent families.
Dad is preparing to select my husband from these candidates.
Aunt Xue said she would make an exception and give you a chance because you are the one I brought back, allowing you to be the thirteenth participant in the selection process, giving you a spot as well," Maya said softly to Rek, feeling a bit shy.
"What! Choosing a husband? Maya, your dad really knows how to have fun.
I like it. Don't worry, I'll stand out. It's just twelve competitors; I can defeat them all and definitely become your fiancé, taking you away," Rek said with a grin.
Hearing Rek's words, Maya looked at him and stood still for a few seconds, thinking that if Rek really won, she wouldn't have to marry someone she didn't know, which would be a good outcome.
Maya spoke up, "Although the chances are slim, Rek, you should try hard. If you win, I'll pretend to be engaged to you; that way, I can delay things for a few years and have some peace. When we get to Super Soldier Academy Fortress, I'll help lighten your workload."
"What do you mean pretend? If I win, it will be a real engagement," Rek quickly retorted.
"I'm your teacher; what real engagement are you talking about? Forget it; just win first!
I don't even know what questions Dad will come up with; they should be challenging. Your chances are quite slim.
By the way, Rek, how's your ability in combat command?
My dad is the Overall Commander of Sanctuary Base, and at least one of the questions will involve testing combat command skills," Maya asked Rek with some concern.
"Combat command is my strong suit; don't worry about it. I've got everything covered," Rek confidently replied. However, he also planned to answer randomly during the test since he had never studied combat command.
In his previous life, Rek attended medical school and never went to military academy. He only gained experience through numerous wars against Alien Species later on. By the end of his previous life, when he was strong enough, he had led at most a few dozen soldiers.
In this life, in the parallel world of the War God System where Earth is on the brink of destruction, Rek has experience fighting on the front lines against the Glorious Empire, having led Special Forces for over a hundred days, but he has been in command for less than a month. Moreover, he is not meant to lead large-scale battles involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Rek knows that his command abilities cannot compare to those of the seasoned generals who have received formal training.
Suddenly, a voice from the War God System echoed in Rek's mind.
"Ding dong, scanning the environment near Host. Host is about to participate in an examination.
The War God is the strongest existence in the universe. Host is destined to become a man of the War God and must not lose to anyone in this examination.
Mission Description: Host is about to take part in an examination with thirteen participants. The victor will be chosen as a son-in-law by General Muku Tenmu.
Mission Completion Conditions: Host must defeat all competitors in the examination and become the ultimate victor.
Mission Completion Reward: Based on Host's performance, a corresponding level reward will be randomly drawn.
Mission Failure Conditions: Host does not achieve first place in the examination.
Mission Failure Punishment: The War God is the strongest existence in the universe; those stronger than the War God are already dead. If Host fails the examination, for the glory of the War God, System will take control of Host's body and kill the other twelve candidates on the spot, ensuring that Host becomes first in the examination.
Friendly Reminder: Host does not need to thank System; System is merely doing what it is supposed to do."
