Meanwhile, after finishing their dinner, Wei Shenghuang and Instructor Song also went to the conference room and sat down in their respective seats.

The conference room was already filled with all the instructors from Storm Military Academy, plus the newly arrived Wei Shenghuang, making a total of two hundred people. Most of them were veterans who had been forced to retire due to injuries sustained on the front lines, while there were also some temporarily invited instructors with considerable skills, such as Wei Shenghuang.

Two hundred instructors formed several circles around the main seat, where Principal He Yuanyang sat.

"Today, besides discussing the teaching plans for each grade, we also have an important matter to discuss," He Yuanyang said in a deep voice. "That is, this year's military academy league. The time is tentatively set for three months from now, and the league location will be Qimingxing."

"The competition events are the same as last year, including various individual competitions, team competitions, and a map competition with 2,000 participants that accounts for the highest score. As is customary, everyone here will elect a captain. This person will be responsible for selecting the participating students and will become the highest-ranking officer in the map competition."

He Yuanyang asked seriously, "Does anyone have any candidates they would like to recommend?"

A senior instructor volunteered: "To be on the safe side, let's choose one of the top individual soldiers and commanders from the fourth year as the captain. That would be Zhuoyue and Bailizhou, both of whom are very strong."

Another instructor said, "It must be Bailizhou. Bailizhou organized a team within the school that only accepts elite students, and Zhuoyue is one of them. They are led by Bailizhou."

Some objected: "Bai Lizhou is arrogant. How can a commander who often sacrifices a group of people as cannon fodder in simulated battles and doesn't know what unity is, lead two thousand people to victory? I think it would be better to demote him by one grade. The two top students in the third year, Shen Junhan and Zhou Rui, are both good."

Instructor Song rejected the suggestion: "No. Shen Junhan is too aloof, doesn't like to communicate with people, and lacks leadership qualities. Zhou Rui is too cautious, and his command style is extremely conservative. If our Storm team wants to achieve a high ranking this year, neither of them can be selected."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Storm Military Academy had finished last for two consecutive years, resulting in a significant reduction in the training resources provided by the military.

This league ranking is not just a symbol of honor; it also affects the funding and weaponry that military academies can obtain over the next four years.

Instructor Lin broke the silence: "Why is no one mentioning Mo Li? Everyone has witnessed his performance in the Anning Campaign, right? He is not only quite strong, but also courageous and insightful, and possesses a convincing charm."

Instructor Li scoffed, "Instructor Lin, aren't you exaggerating? You're always praising Mo Li, but he's still just a freshman. I think there's some exaggeration in the rumors about him. You wouldn't be so irresponsible as to push out a newcomer just to curry favor with Principal He, would you?"

Someone chimed in: "I agree. I still think it would be better to let the more experienced Baili Zhou be the captain. Although he has personality flaws, that doesn't prevent his tactics from always being effective. The instructors who went to Anning Star with you this time had a long period of contact with Mo Li, so they inevitably had some biases and exaggerated his actions."

Seeing is believing. After all, only a minority of instructors went to Anning Star. There were far more than just the two of them who had this idea, but they didn't question it to his face because of He Yuanyang.

Wei Shenghuang frowned. She didn't know which students were outstanding at Storm Military Academy, which was why she hadn't made any recommendations. But when she heard someone questioning Mo Li's contributions in the Anning Campaign, Wei Shenghuang couldn't sit still.

Wei Shenghuang stood up from her seat and looked directly at the two instructors who had spoken out in rebuttal: "Watered down? That's absurd! Mo Li did indeed make a huge contribution to the Anning Campaign. I think the military's second awarding of medals should be coming soon, right?"

"When the beast army attacked, he had only a dagger on his body. He single-handedly covered the rear, bravely fought against the Shadow Wolf pack, and led the students to escape to the third branch base."

"After Ouyang Mo's sacrifice, he formed the Storm Military Academy Special Operations Brigade, volunteered to go out of the city to fight against the alien beasts, relieve the pressure on the garrison, and protect the Third Base."

"When the S-class Void Beast appeared, he disguised himself as a Gale Eagle, sneaked up to the side of the Void Beast, and detonated the bomb at close range. He was seriously injured as a result, but he bought precious time for the garrison."

"If you think that Mo Li's achievements can be so easily dismissed just because he is 'still young'... then you are truly blind. I'm making this clear today: Mo Li's contributions in the Anning Campaign are entirely true, and I vouch for it with my integrity."

The instructor who had spoken earlier retorted with dissatisfaction, "And who are you? What gives you the right to vouch for Mo Li?"

Wei Shenghuang sneered: "Just because I am the leader of the Nirvana Mech Corps, Wei Shenghuang."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The Nirvana Mech Regiment may not be the most powerful in the Federation, but it is certainly the most heroic. The recent Anning Campaign has propelled Nirvana's reputation to new heights. Within the Federation, everyone knows the name Nirvana!

"Excuse me, Instructor Weisheng." The instructor who had spoken sarcastically shut his mouth, his face flushed, and sat down.

The instructors who had initially favored Leng Ran spoke up in support, but many still felt that the older and more experienced Baili Zhou was more suitable. After arguing for more than ten minutes, He Yuanyang called a halt.

"Alright, this argument will never end. Same as always, let's vote to decide who will be the captain."

Although the father was certainly biased towards his daughter, in order to be fair, he gave the choice to the two hundred instructors present.

Storm quickly tallied the vote results.

One hundred to one hundred, a tie between the two! This has never happened before in the history of Storm Military Academy.

The final decision was handed over to He Yuanyang.

He Yuanyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "In that case, since this captain needs to lead other military academy students to participate in the competition, let the students of Storm Military Academy choose the people they are willing to follow."

"Storm, pass on the word: Baili Zhou, the fourth-year chief commander, and Mo Li, the first-year chief individual soldier, will compete in a popularity contest to determine who will be the captain of this year's league."

"The voting channel will open at midnight. Students in their fourth year and below at Storm Military Academy are eligible to vote. The voting period is one week. The candidate with the most votes will automatically become the captain!"
