There Is No Afterlife

The military parade before the league, no matter what level you look at, Imperial Comprehensive College is the most impressive college.Different from the past, this year's new students of the Imperial Comprehensive College have something that their predecessors did not reveal.

It was a kind of aggressiveness that was so sharp that it could be described as sharp. From their eyes, people could see the high fighting spirit.

The fighting spirit displayed by them not only shocked the freshmen of the military academy who were directly facing them, but even senior military officials who were used to seeing regular soldiers put away their joking eyes. College teams.

As if to prove this point, the subsequent performance of the Imperial Comprehensive Academy proved this point in front of everyone again and again!

The first round of physical fitness test is the traditional long-distance obstacle run. Long-distance obstacle run is not terrible. As a traditional military training program, almost all military academies use long-distance running as the most basic training item and the first test item.As the difficulty of training increases, although you will not run as long as the test every day in the subsequent training, there will still be long-distance running events in daily physical training.After military training, the physical fitness of all freshmen has been greatly improved. However, in this case, the long-distance running distance announced by the league referee still shocked many people: 150 kilometers!

Not only freshmen, to be honest, even the instructors who were in charge of training them were shocked by this number.

From the moment they join the league, the instructors are not allowed to appear on the field. The freshmen can completely control their own game, and the military will send a special league referee to judge the game. This is the consistent practice of the freshman military training league.During the freshman game, the instructors were all required to stay on the sidelines. They have many years of experience in training freshmen for the league. When they heard this distance, some instructors jumped on the spot: "How could this be! All previous physical fitness tests The length is 75 kilometers! The length of the test for new recruits will not exceed 100 kilometers!"

What is the concept of 150 kilometers? ! 150 kilometers is the distance that a serving military officer would sweat if he wanted to run!Besides, it’s already noon now, and if you want to finish the 150 kilometers, you must run a considerable distance at night. Long-distance running at night will further increase the psychological burden on the freshmen!

Several instructors were sweating coldly on their foreheads.

It's over!Mistake, this time they trained new students according to the [-]-kilometer test, and now there is an extra [-] kilometers, those students can do it, right?It should... work, right?

A college sent five instructors, and there were a total of 35 instructors present. Among so many people, only the instructors from two colleges didn't seem to be panicked at all.

Among these indifferent instructors, there are naturally five instructors from the Imperial Military Academy: "Huh... the students we are responsible for have a physical training benchmark of 150 kilometers from the beginning, and later increased it to 180 kilometers, let alone running at night. , training around the clock is commonplace for our trainees.”

Standing contentedly in a small corner, the instructors of the Imperial Military Academy exchanged knowing glances with each other.

Number one never falls from the sky. The training intensity of the Imperial Military Academy is always several times higher than that of other academies. The ability to complete the training, the perseverance to persist, and the freshmen who can stand in this arena now, these two abilities are not the same. lack.As for the new students who don't have both abilities...

They cannot become students of the Imperial Military Academy.

With strong confidence in their students, the five instructors of the Imperial Military Academy glanced at the five people in the other corner without any trace: Those are the instructors of the Imperial Comprehensive Academy. I don’t know which base they are from. They have never seen such a person before. Several people.These people looked calm, could it be that there is something wrong with them?

Not only the five of them thought this way, but the instructors of other military academies also noticed the calmness of the five people over there. Thinking of the strong debut of the freshmen from the Imperial Comprehensive Academy just now, they really murmured in their hearts.

But in fact——

"It's over, it's over! The intelligence estimate was wrong, and I didn't know that I would come to participate in the league. Our longest test distance is only 75 kilometers!!!!!!!"

Hearing the mileage announced by the referee, the four instructors on the spot went crazy, scratching and scratching, and seeing Frafetal's calm face next to them, they suddenly settled down.

That's right... Anyway, it is definitely the last one, so what is there to be sure about?

This kind of determination is directly reflected on the outside, and it becomes an understatement and calmness in the eyes of other instructors.

Halfway through the long night, the freshmen of the Imperial Military Academy ran to the finish line first. The first fifty freshmen who reached the finish line were all freshmen of the Imperial Military Academy, and the freshmen of the Imperial Military Academy were also the first to arrive at the finish line. , After arriving, they quietly stood aside and stood in line again. Although they had gone through a long game, they seemed to be just ordinary tired. Regarding the quality they showed at this time, the officials of the military department We are not surprised at all.

Students from other military academies also came back one after another. The freshmen from Grandall Military Academy and Dolan Offa Military Academy were a little slower, but they arrived sparsely before the Sunlight Star was about to rise.As the two military academies that have always produced civilian soldiers in large numbers, everyone recognizes their performance.

The only student who didn't arrive was the Imperial Comprehensive Academy, which was participating for the first time.

"Your Excellency the Marshal, Madam said: He won't prepare breakfast for you until the students from the Imperial Comprehensive Academy arrive." Bowing slightly, the guard relayed the instructions he heard from the next room to his superior.

His voice was not too loud, and the other officials in the room could basically hear him with sharp ears.

"Hehe..." Everyone had the same helpless expression on their faces.

A similar situation has been happening in this room since yesterday when the competition rules were announced.

"This kind of schedule is unfair to the students of the Imperial Comprehensive College! The supper is cancelled!" - In a word, the supper is gone.

"Madam said that she was concentrating on watching the game and didn't want to go to sleep." - In a word, the warm quilt was gone.

After hearing such words, they were full of ears, helpless and funny, and the adults had to eat the food prepared by the barracks chef.It's a hard life for my wife to eat the nutritious meals in the army even after coming here~

"Will it be too strict for the students of the Imperial Comprehensive College? I don't know who suggested this competition..." A general sighed while eating the unpalatable supplement.

Due to the gathering of high-ranking military officials this year, His Majesty the Marshal made an impromptu decision. He asked each officer to write a competition question. This question must be within the scope of the league. It can be slightly higher than the original difficulty but not too high. Select the final selected topic.

Therefore, the first physical fitness event was drawn to this 150-kilometer endurance race.Not to mention the one in their family, even the officials present felt that this topic was unfair to the students of the Imperial Comprehensive College.

Everyone's eyes fell on Dean Argos one after another: Argos must be the one who asked such a wicked question and made everyone feel uncomfortable!This kind of topic is a piece of cake for the Imperial Military Academy!

But for the freshmen of the Imperial Comprehensive College...

Thinking of this, everyone pretended to be inadvertently looking at Dean Aude who was sitting at the end: the first ray of sunlight had already cast in through the window, and the sunlight shone on Aode, covering his whole body In the halo, people couldn't see his expression.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted:

"Here we come! The freshmen from the Imperial Comprehensive College are back!!!" The person who spoke was General Condon, who was under the command of the Marshal. The medicine was thrown onto Lieutenant General Yolan's plate.

Lieutenant General Yolan, who has always been obsessed with cleanliness, did not frown this time. Seeing the direction General Condon was pointing at, he also stood up.For this lieutenant general who has always been very self-confident, this is already an extremely gaffe.

Everyone looked at the corner pointed by General Condon, and then they saw the scene that shocked the two generals: the freshman from the Imperial Comprehensive College ran back, not one person, nor a few sporadic people, but everyone !

All of them are together, although the team is not as neat as when they set off, and although many of them have been carried on their backs by their classmates, they came back together!

It is completely different from the image of the always elegant and dignified students of the Imperial Comprehensive College. At this moment, the iconic white uniforms of this group of freshmen have been soaked in sweat. They look in a mess, and everyone is on the verge of running out of lamp oil.

"1—2—3—4—" The student in charge of shouting the password was hoarse, but he still shouted in a hoarse voice.He had to yell that, because everyone was running and trying to hold on to his command.

Their physical strength has been completely exhausted, and many people seem to be on the verge of fainting. They just instinctively ran along with Dobby's slogan. Jump down.

For them, Dobby's voice at this moment is a light in the dark, his voice broken like a bellows, guiding the direction of the entire team.

What happened on the first day of the military training set the tone for this military training. The shocking scene of the wallflower students running back neatly still lingers in their minds.At that time, many students secretly imagined how they would feel if they were among those people.

Bathed in the shocking eyes of everyone, it must be a very proud and stinky feeling, right?Be proud and proud of being part of the group.

The Wallflower Department demonstrated the power of the collective for the freshmen. Immediately afterwards, Frafettal's ancient training method continued to deepen the importance of the collective sense of honor intentionally or unintentionally.

Under such circumstances, there is no military training in another academy that can make freshmen feel the weight of the word "collective" so much.

So, when they knew the first test item, what came to everyone's mind was the scene they saw on the first day of military training.

"Run back together like the wallflowers and startle everyone!"—that's what all the freshmen at Imperial College had in mind when the start bell rang.

However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is not so simple to realize.

The long distance of 150 kilometers is a distance beyond the physical reserve for students of military colleges, and it seems to be an impossible task for these children of ordinary colleges.

Even with good wishes, even though they have worked very hard, after one hundred kilometers, there are still some people who can no longer persist.

At this moment, the strongest students in the team stood up resolutely, carried the fainted student on their backs, and they continued to run forward.

Nobody thinks there's anything wrong with that.

"I want everyone to see how handsome we are when we come back together" - it's not just the wish of two people, almost everyone in this team thinks so.

As reserved as Brad, he also picked up a girl from the medical department.

As powerful as Dobby, he even carried two people on his back!

If the first [-] kilometers was supported by their physical strength, then the next [-] kilometers was completely a competition of willpower.

"Qi——" Dobby finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally crossed the finish line. At that time, he wanted to use the password to make everyone run instead of run, but he couldn't make a sound anymore.

"Let's go!" The two students standing beside him noticed this situation, and they yelled out instead of Dobby at the same time. They have been training together for a long time, and they have formed a considerable degree of tacit understanding.

Even though they were extremely tired, months of hard training had engraved the movements of various passwords in everyone's bones and blood. Once the password was issued, the running team stopped after three seconds.

Then, under the guidance of the password, they walked to the empty seat next to Daolan Offa Military Academy.

"Relax! Stand at attention! Stand with your hands behind your back!" Dobby, who finally came to his senses, issued three commands immediately after, and after the sound of friction between their bodies and their clothes, they stood up straight in an instant.

Even if the spirit has reached its limit, even if some people carry other people on their backs, their postures are still so beautiful.

Facing this scene, the three referees who were in charge of judging this project were all stunned. You look at me and I look at you. They don't know how to judge despite the established facts.

The freshmen from the Imperial Comprehensive College were obviously the last ones to arrive, but no one who saw them arriving couldn't think they were losers.

"These children are incredible!" Marshal Rothsay exclaimed after walking out of the room and standing on the reviewing platform again, looking down at the freshmen in white who were clearly exhausted but still standing proudly.

"No one gave up the game, and no one fell behind. Even if you use your back, you must carry back your companions who can't persevere... I admit that it is an honor for them to lose." Lieutenant General Yolan said with a straight face.

"They are obviously the last ones, but I think they are the winners." General Condon sighed.

"I agree." A lieutenant general echoed General Condon.

"I think so too." Another echoer.

"This... is against the rules. Even though these freshmen are really great, they are still the last ones."

All of a sudden, the high-ranking officials on the reviewing platform tried their best to find the basis for the judgment they supported.

In the end, Marshal Rothsay waved his hand to suppress all voices.

"We are just guests, and the referees in the military league are other people. Let us listen to their verdicts! In this regard, we must trust the experts."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

***

The three referees in the arena discussed head-to-head for a while, and finally the leading referee announced the result of the first competition: "No.1 is the Imperial Military Academy."

Unsurprising verdict.

"No.2 Colton Military Academy."

This time, Kelton Military Academy finally surpassed the Imperial Defense Academy.

"No.3 Imperial Defense Academy."

……

Starting from No.1, the referee announced the rankings of the colleges in turn.

"...and No.7, Imperial Comprehensive College."

Here, the referee finally made his own judgment. Judging from the results of the game, no matter how well the Imperial Comprehensive Academy performed, they were still in last place. However, they were definitely not losers.

Instead of "last place", the referee used the term "No.7" here.

It was an unprecedented first time in the military school league.

There was silence.

Everyone has nothing to say about the referee's verdict.

Yes, Imperial College was the last to arrive, but they weren't the last.They earned the respect of everyone else in their own way!

***

On the contrary, the freshmen of the Imperial Comprehensive College were stunned when they heard the result of No.7. Naturally, they participated in the league for the first time and did not know the difference between No.7 and the last place.In their view, No.7 is the last one!

The freshmen finally couldn't hold back, they secretly looked back at Mu Gen in the last row, and under Mu Gen's eyes, they looked at the instructor in the distance.

"Salute!" Dobby issued the password again after receiving Mugen's signal.

There was a hint of stunned expression on their faces, all the freshmen's expressions became serious, and their palms were stretched to the side of their heads. They saluted the instructors from the bottom of their hearts!

The instructors standing aside collectively accepted the salute from the freshmen of the Imperial Comprehensive College.

Realizing who these children really wanted to salute, the other instructors couldn't help but shift their positions a little.The five instructors of the Imperial Comprehensive College then stood in the position of receiving the salute.

Under the brim of the military cap, the eyes of the instructors were also shining, and among them, Frafettal's eyes were particularly bright.

His efforts were not in vain, these kids really understood what kind of team he wanted!Now, through these children, the prototype of the army he wanted is displayed in front of people.He sees hope in these children!I'm sure everyone else has seen it!

"Salute." Raising their right hands, under the leadership of Frafetal, the five instructors also paid the same respect to their students in the distance.

"Libi." There was another command, as if what happened just now had never happened, and the freshmen and instructors of the Imperial Comprehensive College stood back to their original positions.

His hands hung on both sides of the trouser seams first, and Frafetal slowly put his hands into his trouser pockets. His hands clenched into fists in his trouser pockets. In this place where no one noticed, his fists trembled slightly.
