However, this kind of passionate young man is quite interesting.

Zhenxun suddenly became interested: "Of course, no problem. As long as you can pass the assessment, it's okay to make an exception and give you a captain position."

But before that, tell me your names.

"Yes, sir! My name is Iyeas!"

"My name is Shayou, and I am sixteen years old."

Compared to her previous composure and calmness, Sayo was noticeably more shy and respectful.

When Zhenxun heard their names, he paused for a moment and blurted out, "The one who said, 'I once wanted to roam the world with a sword, but two of them died just as I left the village'?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Both of them typed out several question marks.

"It's alright. Since you're so eager to climb the ranks, come with me. I'll take you through the assessment."

With that, Yotsuba Mahiro led them back to the recruitment point.

However, when he saw the two of them run in again, the person in charge of recruiting soldiers immediately wanted to tell them to be thrown out. What kind of country bumpkins dare to come here and cause trouble!

Until he saw Yotsuba Mahiro following behind him.

"Yo-Yotsuba-sama, what's wrong...?"

"Go and call Nahashu here."

"Yes, Lady Yotsuba!"

The man immediately turned and left respectfully, which stirred Iyeas's heart and made his eyes gradually light up.

Sure enough, he wasn't mistaken; this person was indeed a high-ranking official!

Even those who had just bullied them were now behaving with such respect!

After a while, a cold-faced blond boy walked over.

"Lord Yotsuba, you were looking for me?"

"Okay, you'll be in charge of evaluating these two people from now on, according to the captain's standards, you understand?"

"I understand. Please leave everything to me, Yotsuba-sama."

Nahashu first spoke respectfully to Mahiro, then looked at the two of them and said, "You two, come with me."

"Yes Yes!"

The two answered in unison.

Iyeas, in particular, was completely stunned.

If the Yotsuba Mahiro-sama he had just met gave him a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze, and also had a faint air of authority, then the boy in front of him, who was not much older than him, gave him a chilling feeling.

The intense pressure emanating from that cold, handsome face suggests that he must be extremely strong!

Are these the people from the military?

That's amazing...

Sayo, standing behind, seemed even more curious with her big, dark eyes. She thought that both the boy in front of her and Yotsuba were very handsome, unlike Tatsumi and the others in the village.

However, her cute little face showed more nervousness than anything else. After all, she had come to the capital from the countryside and was experiencing such a formidable situation for the first time!

As for Yotsuba Mahiro, he naturally followed behind them.

After all, this was a show he had arranged, so how could he not go and see it?

However, as soon as they entered the backyard, they discovered that not only Nahash, but also Cornelia and Tsukushi were there.

Because the military was short-staffed for recruitment, Mahiro sent Nahash and Green over, but unexpectedly, others also came to join in the fun.

When the girls saw Zhenxun, they immediately showed joy and ran over.

"Lord Yotsuba, what brings you here?"

"Of course, it's to see if you've been working hard, and to watch a show while we're at it."

"play?"

Mahiro gestured towards Nahashu, and they turned to see him take two load-bearing garments from the warehouse and throw them in front of them, saying coldly:

"Put them on and then run ten laps around the yard in ten minutes."

Iyeas looked up and observed the surrounding courtyard. He estimated that the distance around the perimeter was more than 400 meters, and even if he circled it ten times, it would only be 4,000 meters.

This test is too easy for him.

After putting on the weighted suit, Iyeas staggered and almost lost his balance and fell, and even found it difficult to move.

This is because this weighted garment weighs a whopping 40 kilograms!

If he's like this, then it goes without saying that Sayo is barely holding on.

"Saya, you must not give up!" Iyeas said solemnly through gritted teeth.

"Yes, we must fight for the future of the village!" Sayo's eyes showed a determined look.

Their eyes were full of fighting spirit, so as soon as they heard the starting signal, they rushed forward instantly.

Actually, their tests aren't very strict; they've lowered the standards considerably.

After all, when Nahash and the others became captains, they trained wearing weights of over 50 kilograms, and even the weakest Seryu could do it.

-------------------------------------

A few minutes later, the assessment ended.

Without exception, neither of them qualified.

Iyeas was alright, at least he finished half the race, while Sayo simply couldn't run anymore after two laps.

"So, are you convinced now?"

Mahiro stepped forward, looked at the two of them, and asked.

They both fell silent, unable to speak. They had thought it would be simple, but it turned out to be so difficult.

Is this the captain from the capital?

Really strong!

"Since you're convinced, then let's start as rookie soldiers. Nahash, this boy is yours; Cornelia, this girl is yours to lead."

"Yes, Lord Yotsuba!"

Nahashu took Iyeas away, and this hot-blooded young man naturally had nothing to say about it.

However, Sayo was amazed when she saw Cornelia and the girls following Mahiro.

Those girls are absolutely gorgeous!

Especially the girl with short, wavy hair and the girl with short, black hair; they were about the same age as her, but they were as beautiful as idols!

"Hello, my name is Cornelia. You can call me Cornelia. From today onwards, you are my teammate. I'll take you to meet the other team members later."

Cornelia, as always, gave a gentle, older sister-like smile.

This warmed Sayo's heart.

"Hello, Sister Ke'er, I'm Shayou. Please take care of me in the future!"

"Hmm, Sayo~ You're very pretty. No wonder Lady Yotsuba made an exception and brought you all here for the assessment." Cornelia's tone held a hint of something inexplicable.

"Eh?"

Sayo looked up at her, puzzled.

Captain Cornelia is clearly prettier than me!

Meanwhile, after watching the play and arranging her work, Yotsuba Mahiro left the recruitment point, only to sneeze as soon as she stepped out the door.

"Which bastard is cursing me behind my back! It must be that fat pig Ernest! Yes, that's right!"

Ernest was innocently implicated.

However, Mahiro was too lazy to care about those things. He looked up at the sky, which was already half red, and murmured:

"Never mind, it's getting late, I should go see Akame."

That's what he mainly needs to do today.
