Scramble (2)

(Congratulations to the Newly Advanced Helmsman "Zhe c????")

A handsome young man quietly walked onto the stage, drawing everyone's attention once again.

If we're talking about fame alone, Shanguang Flash could even be ranked number one, because he was the only telekinetic user in the entire event, and his unique fighting style left a lasting impression on everyone.

"Shanguang, Identity: Interstellar Wanderer, Final Survival Ranking 18th."

His identity surprised the other candidates, because interstellar wanderer is not a derogatory term. Besides having a registered birthplace planet, they are often homeless. Most of those who can become wanderers are over thirty years old, and only those with certain strength can travel in this identity.

Otherwise, the Federation will not recognize it.

An 18-year-old interstellar wanderer must have a profound legacy behind him.

Their unique background and special abilities mean that the academy cannot treat Shanguang the same way it would treat ordinary candidates.

This time, Dawn Academy spoke first, and in their hierarchy, Shanguang should be ranked third.

"Dawn Academy offers four round-trip trips within the Federation Region each year with no destination restrictions, full tuition waiver during the school year, a scholarship of 300,000 Star Coin per year, and library access at the B-level teaching assistant level."

The moment these conditions were announced, everyone in the audience gasped. Compared to the previous two candidates, it was worlds apart. All expenses were waived, and a year's scholarship was equivalent to ten years' worth of other candidates' earnings. What were the other candidates supposed to think...?

However, the person in charge of the Dawn Academy just stared at the handsome young man, completely ignoring what others thought.

In his opinion, these conditions should be enough to attract them. He had offered several times the price of other academies, although he didn't have the benefits of an elite student.

But they still want to reserve that spot for the first and second place winners.

These conditions should be met, right? The person in charge, sitting high on his seat, looked at the boy on the stage.

Shanguang Emoji smiled as always, and after hearing this, he simply nodded politely but did not reply immediately.

What a huge appetite!

The audience was surprised by the young man's performance. Dawn Academy's generous recruitment hadn't even prompted him to speak, seemingly waiting for other academies to do so.

The professor from the Bonar Academy glanced at the Dawn Academy next door, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"Bonar Academy offers free tuition during your studies, provides two sets of uniforms for summer and winter each year, four free trips per year, a scholarship of 180,000 Star Coin per year, and a graduation recommendation from the Dean."

This last sentence is probably the real bombshell.

The Speaker's personal recommendation, and the intricate connections within the House of Commons.

That means a chance to rise to the top in one step!

Many candidates stared at the Shanguang with bloodshot eyes.

But the boy's eyes remained unmoved as he nodded.

Noticing all these actions, Instructor He Tian's eyes lit up. He coughed and spoke softly:

"Taoyun Academy offers two free trips per year, an annual scholarship of 80,000 Star Coin, and A-level library teaching privileges..."

As soon as this condition was put forward, some people started shaking their heads. Isn't this just to highlight the other two colleges?

But Supervisor He clearly didn't finish his sentence, and what he said next made almost everyone behind him stand up!

"At the same time Taoyun Academy offers elite student benefits, including guaranteed military service! Students will also have the opportunity to become apprentices of Qian Jiyu, the academy's vice- Psychokinesis Master! Those with outstanding academic performance in their first year will be offered Adventure Grade telekinetic mech— the Qipo Zhe!"

This!

They've really gone all out!

The heads of the Dawn Academy and Bonar Academy looked at Instructor He Tian with disbelief. "Are you crazy? How can you make conclusions for your vice dean?"

But upon seeing that it was the renowned Instructor He Tian, they were disheartened.

This is a core privilege reserved for only one person in the entire Federation's recruitment program, even higher than the elite privileges...

Are we just going to waste our time on Zicui Star?! Edge Planet of the Fourth Administrative Region.

After hearing Instructor He Tian finish speaking, the handsome young man looked up and looked ahead.

Their eyes met, and they remained silent, both with equal gentleness.

It was as if they were exchanging messages without words.

After a long silence, Shanguang spoke softly:

"I am willing to follow Master Qian Jiyu."

A comeback!

Taoyun Academy made a stunning comeback at this moment, completely overshadowing the other two academies.

The heads of the other colleges looked like they'd seen a ghost. As expected of Supervisor He, his courage was simply astonishing.

The selection process for Shanguang continues...

Three candidates ranked between 10 and 20 then took the stage. Two of them were snatched up by Bonal, and one by the Pulan Military Academy.

The enthusiastic atmosphere continued to rise, and those still waiting in the audience felt even more hopeful for their future after seeing the final outcome of the candidates who went on stage.

Then, five people from the 30th place on the stage went up one after another. Three of them entered Taoyun Academy, one entered Pulan Military Academy, and one was eliminated.

The number of people has decreased by more than half.

Zhang Yuanren, Mu Fan, Tatarick have not yet taken the stage.

Mu Fan ignored what others thought; he only paid attention to the Dingchuan Academy.

Strangely, Dingchuan Academy has not made a single statement so far, while the teachers behind that bald man are practically jumping up and down in anxiety.

Is Dingchuan Academy planning to pick up a bunch of "real cannon fodder"?

"Please welcome candidate ' Duke ' to the room."

"The 20 players selected for the Loser's Bracket ultimately finished 13th in the survival competition."

The academy knows this information, but many candidates don't! How could the Loser's Bracket have managed to reach 13th place?!

Sky!

When the examinee smiled sheepishly at the light, even the usually composed Mu Fan grinned.

Duke still has Tailun!

These two are the two people he can't forget from this competition.

Upon seeing this simple-minded examinee, all the officials looked at the information cards in their hands.

"Strength level 15-16, Endurance level... No upper limit found during the competition?"

What a weirdo!

With superhuman endurance, is he a human Tank?

The head of the Pulan Military Academy slapped his chair and stood up abruptly.

"Elite student benefits! 150,000 Star Coin per year! All tuition and fees are waived! Major-level officers will personally instruct you throughout your studies until graduation! After graduation, you can choose any military region to serve in!!"

This time, Pulan Military Academy took the lead, and that last sentence even made the people from the two capital academies shut their mouths in resentment.

There's nothing we can do; it's a privilege of the Pulan Military Academy —it's the military's favorite institution.

The simple-minded boy raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say:

"Um... can I ask you something?"

"You say."

"Can I bring my brother along?"

Everyone collapsed to the ground.

Brother, with such a great opportunity, why are you asking to take your brother along? Do you think this is a vegetable market?

"Hmm... who?"

The words of the person in charge of the Pulan Military Academy made the group of candidates in the second round of selection feel like crying; it's true what they say about the treatment they receive.

When did the Loser's Bracket become so arrogant?

Mu Fan secretly chuckled; he already knew who Duke was going to talk about next.

Zhang Yuanren frowned and glanced at Mu Fan beside him. "Hmph, you're already laughing before you've even stepped onto the stage. I'll show you what a true prodigy is in a moment!"

Unfortunately, Young Master Zhang had no idea what Mu Fan was laughing about.

As expected, Mu Fan confirmed his thoughts.

Duke's warm, honest voice resonated throughout the arena.

"Tailun!"
