On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

In the conference hall.

Hearing this, Ter Lecter only slightly raised his lips, with a faint smile on his face, but his words were merciless: "So I said, those who are afraid of death can not take part in this assessment, and it is not impossible to study for another year. Anyway, anyone under the age of 25 can apply for the Federal Military Academy."

"Moreover, with all due respect to you, war is always accompanied by death, which is inevitable. If we were afraid of death, how could we have survived until now surrounded by star beasts? The Federation can be what it is today because we are not afraid of death and dare to fight the star beasts to the death."

"No, Dean Tel, that's not what our dean meant. As federal citizens, we are certainly not afraid of death, but we can't make unnecessary sacrifices. They are just children who have never fought head-on with star beasts. It is not a wise choice to choose such a dangerous place for the first time." said a middle-aged short-haired female beta.

"That's right, you said that we can let them postpone the exam for one year, but the world is unpredictable. How do we know who we will draw next year? If they repeat a year, it will also affect Icles' future." Someone next to him echoed.

If what he said is true, it will not only have a huge impact on the college's graduation rate this year, but will also continue to affect students in subsequent classes.

The resources of the college are limited. Those who should leave have not left, and people keep coming. The resources averaged out to each person are not enough to improve their own strength. Insufficient strength will lead to a decline in graduation rate, which will reduce the resources allocated to Icleus by the federal government. This is a vicious cycle.

"Our intention is still the same as at the beginning. Choose one of the planets numbered in Chino or Lake."

The Federation has established a numbering system for all resource stars affected by star beasts, from E to S, with the degree of danger increasing gradually. Chino and Lake are classified as C, while the planet chosen by Ter Lecter is in B.

No one in Kasesi College said anything, because they were also confused by the choice of their dean. They had discussed it before coming, and their ideas were actually similar to the requirements put forward by Icles College, but they didn't know why the dean suddenly changed his mind.

They didn't dare to speak or ask, for fear of disrupting the dean's plans. It was better for them to just watch the dean debate with the scholars alone.

"Okay." Tel suddenly sighed, as if giving up his previous plan, but immediately said: "I can agree to set the location of the joint combat on a planet with a Class C disaster, but I have to make the choice."

The people of Ikles could not help but frown. What on earth was Cassesi planning this time? This meeting was totally different from what they expected.

"Do you want to choose the planet Mist 5?" Luo Yan only thought for a while before he understood the other party's intention. He had said so much before and made a request that they would never agree to, just to force Icles to make concessions and take the initiative.

Among the C-class disaster-stricken planets, except for the planets numbered Chino and Lake, the only one left is Mist 5.

"Is there anything on that planet that's worth your trouble?"

The practical assessment established by the Federation is not only an obligation, but also a benefit.

For planets that have successfully completed the cleanup, the Federation will reward half of the resources mined in the next 30 years to the participating academies, so each academy will be very cautious when choosing the actual combat location, as this is related to the future development of the academy.

"Mr. Luo, you can see it clearly. Let me tell you straight away. I just received news that someone discovered a large amount of rare metals on it. I suspect there is a complete mineral vein buried under the planet."

"What rare metals? Is Dean Tel still going to beat around the bush with us?" The alpha who slammed the table at first said indignantly.

"Special Type 2 Metal."

"What?!" An alpha stood up suddenly. He realized that he was too excited and sat down again. He coughed twice and continued, "Special series metals have always been rare because they are highly integrated with spiritual power and source energy, and the weapons made from them are stronger. Most of the known mineral veins are now controlled by the military. Is Dean Tel's source of information really reliable?"

"Naturally, the military hasn't received any news about this matter yet."

"Mist-5, the star beasts on it are not weak, but no important resources have been found on it, so the Federation has not raised its danger level." Someone said.

The Federation's classification of disaster-stricken planets is not only related to the star beasts, but also to the importance of the planets.

"Its danger level is much higher than a normal C-level disaster-stricken planet, almost reaching B-level. Choosing it won't be much better for Ikles."

"But a special type 2 metal vein is worth the price we pay."

The Ikles people began to have a heated discussion about Tel's proposal.

Ter Lecter didn't say anything, but just smiled and looked at Luo Yan, the dean of Icles.

He believed that the other party would agree, because it was more than just a special type 2 metal vein, and the other party must know what that meant.

When the benefits gained far outweigh the costs, the Luo family will make the best choice.

"Okay." Luo Yan raised his hand, signaling them to stop arguing. He looked into Tel's eyes and said slowly, "Ikles agrees with your choice."

Tel showed a meaningful smile, quickly stood up, and took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Luo Yan: "I am glad that the Lecter family can reach a consensus with the Luo family."

After the people from Kasese College left, someone couldn't help but ask, "Dean, why should we answer..."

"No need to ask more questions. Everything today must be kept strictly confidential. The military must not know the specialness of Mist-5. Before we actually get the right to allocate the resources of Mist-5, nothing can be leaked. You should all know the family rules." Luo Yan interrupted him, glanced sharply at the people in the conference room, and warned.

"Yes." Everyone answered.

The people he brought with him today were all from the Luo family. Although there was some protection, he still had to remind them once in case some people were not clear-headed.

Although the military and the Luo family jointly established Icles, the military only invested a small part of the resources and occupied a nominal position. The Luo family still paid the bulk of the money, so almost all the school's senior management are from the Luo family.

The military does not care about these matters. All they need is a place to provide education for the children of the lower-level soldiers, to prove that the military cares about all the soldiers on the front line and allows those soldiers to have no worries.

Icles, after all, still belongs to the Luo family.

A special type 2 metal vein might cost a little more than what he and Ikles would have to pay, but a special type 2 metal vein usually also has a small associated vein - an alien series of metals that are rarer than special metals. This is a very secret matter, and only a very few people know about it, and he happens to be one of them.

All this is worth the Luo family sacrificing some of Icles' interests.

In this world, only interests can move people's hearts the most.

There is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, it’s just that the benefits are not enough.

Luo Yan slowly closed his eyes, waved his hand, and signaled others to leave first.
