He read it aloud in a low voice: "The storm is coming, shall we set out immediately?"

“Yes. The motto of Storm Military Academy.” Zhao Yuheng sat up straight. “This motto has been echoing over the border planet for over a hundred years.”

"The Arctic Star System, which is guarded by the Ninth Military Region, has never been breached by an army of alien beasts in history."

He Xiting smiled brightly and strode over: "Ali, congratulations on your official enrollment!"

"So you're Ali! You look really thin!" Gao Xiao strode over, pointing to himself. "Me, Gao Xiao. We used to hang out together. I was really scared when I heard you were stuck in Star Wars. Seeing you all lively and energetic now makes me feel so much better!"

Gao Xiao put his arm around Leng Ran's shoulder and said in a friendly tone, "Ali, once I've finished my studies, I'll definitely make you a custom-made mecha! The super, super cool kind!"

He laughed coldly and readily: "Alright, then I'll be waiting for that day!"

Seeing that Leng Ran's attention had been stolen by Gao Xiao, He Xiting quickly pulled Yue Qiufeng over and took the initiative to introduce them.

"Ah Li, Ah Li, look here. This is Hero Yue, is this your first time meeting?"

Yue Qiufeng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Leng Ran followed Yue Qiufeng's example and returned the greeting with clasped hands: "I have long admired your name, Great Hero Yue."

Yue Qiufeng remained expressionless: "You flatter me, Brother Li. As a friend, you can simply call me Qiufeng."

Leng Ran: "Alright, Qiu Feng. Since we are friends, you can call me Ali along with them."

Yue Qiufeng readily agreed: "Yes, Ali."

Storm: "All freshmen from the three departments of the Combat Academy, please assemble at the first preparation area in two hours."

Gao Xiao was somewhat surprised: "Huh? The mecha design department is going too this year? Didn't they usually train separately? Why are we going to the physical training camp this year?"

Yue Qiufeng: "That is indeed strange."

He Xiting was very pleased: "It should have been like this a long time ago. You are all going to the battlefield, so your physical training cannot be neglected!"

"Hmm, I guess the training volume is about the same as ours," Zhao Yuheng, who had been smiling at the group, said. "Now that we've all met, since we still have two hours before we assemble, why don't we take a walk around the school together?"

And so, the four of them began to tour the campus in advance to familiarize themselves with their future life there.

Meanwhile, students who saw the results of the rankings began a heated discussion: "The first place in the Individual Soldier Department admissions is Mo Li... His total entrance exam score was over 12,000??"

"What's so surprising about that? You all saw how Li-ge performed!"

"Wow, the most exciting part is yet to come! Look at his physical and mental test scores in the first round!"

Everyone opened the cold, unchanging individual scores with a sense of unease, and gasped in shock.

Physical fitness level 5, mental fitness level 4!

After a brief moment of shock, an even more intense discussion ensued.

"Is he... still human?"

"Does this level really exist? Let me take another look... oh my god, am I going crazy?"

"This world has gone mad after all. Seeing how shocked you all are, I'm relieved!"

"The admission requirements for the four top military academies are level four physical fitness, while ordinary military academies only require level three. But he's a level five!"

"Level 5 physique is alright, there's Shen Junhan in the third year too. The key point is that he also has mental strength, level 4! What does that mean!"

"That means Li-ge could totally become a commander now."

"What's so great about being a commander? We have a famous saying in our individual soldier department: 'A fragile commander can be taken down with one punch!'"

"Well said! I'll reward you with a one-on-one duel with Boss Mo Li!"

"..."

Two hours later, the freshmen appeared on time in the first preparation area and lined up according to their departments. A warship named "Thorn" was ready and about to carry them to the freshmen's training location.

Leng Ran and his group had also arrived at the preparation area and temporarily separated. Leng Ran, He Xiting, and Yue Qiufeng joined the individual combat team and secretly stood at the back. Zhao Yuheng and Gao Xiao went to the command and mecha design departments, respectively.

To the surprise of the new students, a group of senior students had already gathered in the preparation area and were not far from them.

He Xiting looked around: "Huh? Those look like third-year students, right? There aren't any other warships around here."

Yue Qiufeng spoke up: "Third grade, there will be practical exercises."

Leng Ran also turned his gaze over: "Hmm, judging from this situation, it might be the same as our target location."

As they were chatting, Leng Ran's personal terminal vibrated. She opened it and saw that it was a message from Lu Haoyu.

Lu Haoyu: "Ali~ Ali~ Summon Ali."

Leng Ran: "?"

Lu Haoyu: "It seems like we're training together this year, let's hang out together then!"

Leng Ran: "Your training methods should be different from ours, right?"

Lu Haoyu: "Not necessarily. We should have more mecha combat training than you, but physical training will likely be together!"

Lu Haoyu: "I'm waiting for you to crush the newbies~ I really want to see the freshmen's expressions~"

Leng Ran: "...Actually, I'm not interested in freshmen; I'm more interested in mecha."

She's never piloted a real mecha before! It would be great if she could join the third-year students and experience piloting mechas.

Wait... this idea doesn't seem so bad after all?

Qin Yue watched Lu Haoyu typing while trying not to laugh, and asked, "Brother, what are you chatting about? You seem to be having a lot of fun."

Lu Haoyu looked up: "Of course, it's to chat with our Ali."

Upon hearing the key phrase, Shen Junhan immediately looked over: "What did he say?"

Lu Haoyu's mind started working.

Mo Li wanted to play with mechs, but only third graders could play with them. They were third graders, so Mo Li wanted to play with them.

So he concluded, "He wants to play with us."

Shen Junhan's lips curled up slightly.

Qin Yue glanced at Shen Junhan, who was in a good mood, and then at the group of cold-hearted freshmen hiding not far away, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This live-fire exercise will not be peaceful.

Before long, He Yuanyang walked out of the cabin amidst everyone's anticipation and stood on the deck of the warship, ready to announce this year's training location.

"First of all, on behalf of all members of Storm Military Academy, I would like to welcome the new students who have been admitted today!"

"This year, the training for first-year students will be conducted simultaneously with the practical exercises for third-year students, and the location will be Anning Star, the front-line combat planet in the Arctic Galaxy."

Anning Star, one of the planets garrisoned by the Ninth Military Region, is a well-known frontline combat planet. It was named Anning Star because it was once plagued by frequent attacks from alien beasts and constant warfare, reflecting people's hopes and aspirations for its future.

He Yuanyang said seriously, "After the Battle of Huangsha, the number of alien beasts invading the Arctic Star System has decreased sharply, but as a front-line planet, Anning Star will still be harassed and attacked by a small number of alien beasts. Therefore, it is still not a completely safe planet."

"If you choose to participate in this training camp or live-fire exercise, you must be prepared to face mortal danger! I am giving you one chance to withdraw. Those who wish to leave can do so now!"

Storm pulled up images of war that had taken place on Anning Star.

The overwhelming army of alien beasts clashed with fully armed mecha warriors. Mecha wreckage and alien beast corpses were scattered all over the ground, and everywhere you looked was filled with blood and gunfire. It was a scene of utter carnage.

Among the freshmen watching from below the stage, some clenched their fists, while others looked fearful...

One of the passionate freshmen excitedly shouted, "I'm not afraid to die!"

Someone echoed, "Yes! My life exists solely to slay these strange beasts!"

"I...I want to be like these soldiers!"

He Yuanyang remained silent for a full two minutes. Seeing that no one had chosen to withdraw, he nodded with satisfaction: "Good! Since you have made up your minds, let's begin boarding!"

The boarding ladders on both sides of the warship were slowly lowered.

He Yuanyang: "As students of Storm Military Academy, remember our school motto! The storm has arrived, set off immediately!"

The students below shouted in unison, "The storm is coming, let's set off immediately!"
