The students of Class Two in the Command System were all fixated on the Holographic Projection Screen in front of them, their eyes unblinking as they absorbed the information displayed. The classroom was filled with a flickering glow of numbers and three-dimensional images.
The projection showed the basic information of all the students in the class, including personal age, physical skill level, type of Martial Arts, and whether they possessed any Abilities. This was the first and last time they would see such information. The academy provided these details so that students could choose their future Team Members based on them. However, this information was confidential for both individuals and the academy, and it would never be displayed like this again.
Of course, everyone had their own hidden talents that were not revealed, and after six years of training, these individuals would be completely different once they stepped out into the world. In other words, most of their abilities would rise to a new level, so the school did not worry about the leakage of this basic information.
“ Xia Chiu … 0 years old, Water-type Ability, First Stage in physical skills, Martial Arts is Combat Technique!”
“Peak… years old, Psychic Power Ability, Third Stage in physical skills, Martial Arts is Mental Power attack, Combat Technique…”
“Yu Zeming… years old, possesses strong life force, Fourth Stage in physical skills, skilled in combat…”
“Ouyang Yi… years old, Fourth Stage in physical skills, excels in speed, combat…”
“Li Dahai… years old, skilled in Spatial Pressure Ability, combat power equivalent to Third Stage in physical skills.”
“Nasha… years old, Fourth Stage in physical skills, previously had an Ability.”
“…”
Ye Yu quickly skimmed through this information while matching each piece of basic data to specific individuals in his mind. He couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Federal First Military Academy; this truly was a cradle of elites. These students were merely First Year students yet nearly every one of them possessed enough strength to enter the Silver Dragon Guard's Shadow Team; many were even stronger than those within the Shadow Team. However, if these students faced off against the Shadow Team as a group, they would likely return defeated. The Shadow Team excelled in coordinated combat.
With thirty-four students' information to process, Ye Yu memorized everything in about five minutes. However, choosing Team Members was a matter of free choice; that meant those he selected might not agree to join him. Realizing this made him feel somewhat helpless—he didn't know any of these students!
“Brother Ye, let’s form a team!” Suddenly, at that moment, a clear voice like that of a golden oriole rang out beside Ye Yu's ear.
Ye Yu initially didn't react, staring blankly for half a second before realizing that Xia Chiu was looking at him with wide eyes and a bright smile.
"Brother Ye?" Ye Yu's mouth twitched slightly; there was something oddly sisterly about that title.
"That's right! I was originally the top student among this year's freshmen, but now that you're here, it’s changed to you. I'm older than you, so naturally, I’ll call you Brother Ye!" Xia Chiu said with a serious expression that made Ye Yu feel both amused and exasperated.
"You can just call me Ye Yu. Are you sure you want to team up with me?" Ye Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. He only had Mental Power at the moment, and when it came to combat skills, he felt quite disadvantaged.
Xia Chiu pouted playfully and said, "I’m your cousin! When Mental Power evolves to a certain level, it will have unexpected functions. I can see your Mental Power has already reached the Stellar level; you’ll definitely be impressive in the future. Plus, our Command System doesn’t emphasize individual combat ability as much, so the requirements for physical skills or fighting abilities aren’t that high."
Ye Yu nodded. Although he felt that Xia Chiu's strength wasn't particularly formidable, he had little choice as a newcomer.
Seeing Ye Yu nod in agreement, Xia Chiu cheerfully connected her avatar with Ye Yu's, indicating they had officially become team members. In that brief moment, more and more people successfully formed their own teams.
"Ouyang Yi, if you want to beat me, aren’t you planning to recruit Ye Yu into your team?" At that moment, a voice rang out in the classroom—none other than Peak, who had just attacked Ye Yu with his Mental Power.
"Young Master Gao, how could I possibly win against you? As for this classmate Ye Yu, I'm not familiar with him, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring him over," Ouyang Yi shook his head calmly. However, when his gaze fell on Peak's team situation, his expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Hmph! Then don’t blame me for bullying you later. You won’t be able to handle my Psychic Power attacks!" Peak quickly noticed Ouyang Yi's team members and couldn’t help but reveal a knowing smile.
At this moment, Xia Chiu turned to Ye Yu and said, "These aristocratic youths already know the game rules; they’ve been in contact privately for a long time. For them, forming teams is just a formality."
Ye Yu glanced quickly at the holographic screen; there were very few people left who hadn’t successfully formed teams. Suddenly, an angry voice rang in his ear: "Peak, are you sure you won’t let me join?"
He then looked at the speaker—a delicately featured girl sitting next to Peak. He remembered her name was Nasha and that she was at the fourth stage of physical skills.
"I'm sorry, Sister Nasha, but our team only accepts the strongest!" Peak glanced at the blushing Nasha and continued, "If your Ability were still intact, you would naturally be one of us. Unfortunately... it seems that is not the case."
"Fine! Peak, I refuse to believe that without you, I would have no one!" Nasha's alluring eyes seemed to blaze with fire at that moment. Yet, as she looked at the information on the holographic screen, she instinctively bit her full lips, and her frown deepened.
"Sister Nasha, you can join our team!" Xia Chiu noticed Ye Yu looking at Nasha and cheerfully extended an invitation to her.
However, it seemed Nasha did not hear Xia Chiu's words; she remained fixated on the holographic projection, silent.
"Hey? Someone applied to join the team!" Suddenly, someone sent a request to Ye Yu's team, prompting Ye Yu to open the application message.
"Chen Tang?" Ye Yu recognized the name quickly. He remembered that this person was already thirty years old and had no Martial Arts or Ability. The academy's information indicated that he was skilled in deduction and was an expert in battlefield case studies.
"He took five years to get into the First Military Academy, but this person has no combat capability..." Xia Chiu pouted, looking somewhat disappointed.
"But... there are only three people left who haven't formed a team!" Ye Yu glanced at the composition of various teams and realized that aside from him and Xia Chiu, there were only Nasha, Chen Tang, and someone named Wang Jiu left.
Ye Yu also had a strong impression of Wang Jiu. This person was skilled in spatial Ability; however, his spatial Ability was too weak to trap anyone. The space he could manipulate was only enough to store a few Phase Guns. In battle, his only advantage was that his logistical support would be slightly better than others.
"Ah—really? But if we form a team with just us few, we would probably be the weakest team in terms of combat ability!"
Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Xia Chiu looked at the holographic projection before her and immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, resting her face on the table with a look of despair.
