Over the past twelve days, the freshmen of the Comprehensive Military Academy have been training for more than ten hours every day, counting off, standing at attention, marching, squatting... The instructors have transformed them from head to toe.
Putting everything else aside, just standing there makes you feel different in terms of energy and spirit.
Bishop Fang Hua said, “Our twelve-day basic training phase has come to an end. Next is the twelve-day advanced training phase. Some outstanding students will be selected for the military flag guard, weapons operation demonstration team, martial arts and dance performance team, etc. These selected students will no longer train in the First Company. Those who are interested and feel that they are good enough can come and tell me first. The rest of you can disperse according to the rules and assemble at 2 pm sharp.”
This is when Alpha shines.
The military flag guard of honor needs to be tall. Alphas are genetically determined by their height, and none of them are under 1.8 meters tall after adulthood.
In areas like weapon handling, martial arts, and dance, which require physical strength and agility, Alphas excel.
They don't need to put in much effort to be stronger than hardworking Betas; with just a little effort, they can easily surpass Betas. This is why the military is almost entirely dominated by Alphas.
Nine out of ten Alphas will sign up; showcasing their charm is an inherent male pursuit. It's a great opportunity, and they might just win the heart of an Omega and forge a wonderful relationship.
It would be even better if you could help me get some meat and vegetables, sob sob.
Ruan Mingchu is an "Omega" now and is not interested in these things. His only worry is what to do if Mu Yu is chosen and his pheromones start acting up again.
These past few days of close contact with Mu Yu have not only made her pheromones incredibly obedient, but her physical recovery has also been faster than before.
Even without testing, Ruan Mingchu felt his physical condition had reached Grade B. He could only begin many things once all three indicators returned to Grade S.
At lunchtime, for the first time, Ruan Mingchu did not leave immediately after Mu Yuyi finished the handover. Instead, she got up and followed Gong Zhushen when he went to get the soup, hoping to get some information from him.
Ruan Mingchu saw it clearly: Gong Zhushen was probably in cahoots with Mu Yu's father, and had been trying to persuade Mu Yu to cooperate with him through words and actions.
Just as he had predicted, Gong Zhushen shared Mu Yu's plans with Ruan Mingchu without hesitation: "He's not going anywhere. He said he's the company commander of the first company, how can he abandon his post halfway? Let me tell you, he's a very responsible person..."
He went on and on praising Mu Yu.
Ruan Mingchu couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only nod repeatedly in agreement.
Finally, Gong Zhushen even took the initiative to exchange terminal numbers with Ruan Mingchu: "Call me anytime on the terminal if anything happens in the future."
Nguyen Minh Thu expressed his gratitude with mixed feelings.
After watching Ruan Mingchu leave, Gong Zhushen returned to his seat with two bowls of soup, beaming with joy.
Although Mu Yu remained unmoved, after his unremitting efforts, the other party (Ruan Mingchu) took the initiative. How could good things be far away?
Maybe soon he'll have a sister-in-law, and then a nephew and a niece.
Oh hahaha~

10. He felt embarrassed to refuse in public and make others feel awkward if he wanted to team up with someone.
I originally thought that Fang Hua would ask me to register with him, and that those who didn't register would have a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.
Whether you register or not, it doesn't matter; you still have to show the exhibits to the visitors in the afternoon according to their requests.
It was even more tiring than regular training.
I'm mentally exhausted.
The martial arts and dance performance team was the most outrageous; they actually made them learn and then perform on the spot.
The first group to arrive was the military flag guard of honor, selected directly from the front of the line.
Mu Yu wasn't particularly tall for an Alpha, but his 1.88-meter height and powerful presence immediately caught the eye of the instructor in charge of selecting members for the honor guard.
He pointed at Mu Yu and said, "We want him."
Fang Hua rolled her eyes. Although she had told the students that only the best would be selected, in reality, none of the instructors wanted the best talents to be chosen. What would happen to them during the final performance if all the good ones were taken?
“You can’t choose our company commander.”
Fang Hua had asked Mu Yu about his thoughts last night and was very relieved to find out that he didn't want to leave. Now, he was quite confident in confronting the honor guard.
"Your opinion doesn't count; let them say it themselves."
Mu Yu was suddenly called upon, and he simply said, "Instructor Fang is right."
Fang Hua wins decisively!
Everyone else wants to be selected, but Mu Yu is selected and doesn't go. He truly deserves to be the number one freshman!
The honor guard had to settle for second best, and those who wanted to join followed Mu Yu's example: "I'm from the first company, I'm not going!"
Regardless of their true feelings, they would outwardly follow Mu Yu's lead, since they wanted to become Mu Yu's future confidants.
The honor guard instructors left, grumbling and cursing, taking only two marginal Alphas with them.
The weapons can be operated from traditional ancient firearms to modern interstellar mechs and warships.
Most Alphas have their own mechs from a young age and are not interested in modern weapons at all, but are instead fascinated by ancient things.
Especially with Mu Yu's good friend Gong Zhushen going to join a traditional performance troupe, the Alphas became even more uninhibited.
Fang Hua, who had just been happy, watched helplessly as six people were chosen, and his face turned ashen.
The martial arts and dance performance team has made some reforms this year compared to previous years. They no longer want the burly Alphas, but rather people who care about appearances.
"With higher-ups visiting this year, we naturally need to find something attractive to show off."
Speaking of beauty, one cannot forget Ruan Minh Thu, who is hailed as the "most beautiful woman" of the Military Academy.
Ruan Mingchu never expected that he would be involved in this.
He naturally refused; Mu Yu was there, and he didn't want to leave.
Dance instructor: "Reason."
Ruan Mingchu was silent for a moment: "She is delicate and frail."
"You're ruthless." Did he not know that an Omega's stamina was stronger than a Beta's? The dance instructor berated Fang Hua, didn't select anyone, and left.
The Ye brothers, Lele and Yueyue, were filled with resentment, hoping to be selected so they could make their mark in front of the leaders. Why did they lose their chance just because Ruan Mingchu rejected them?
It's all that bitch Ruan Minh Thu's fault for being so pretentious!
After dealing with these matters, there were still ninety-two people left in the company.
The performance formation has nine rows and ten columns, totaling ninety people, with two people remaining.
Fang Hua thought for a moment and then pulled Mu Yu and Ruan Mingchu out: "You two go first, one carrying the military flag and the other carrying the company flag."
Mu Yu didn't care, but Ruan Mingchu was naturally happy to agree, as he wanted to be as close to Mu Yu as possible.
The training for the performance formations consisted of walking back and forth, then marching in step, then marching in goose step, and then marching in step again. The requirements were simple: just walk in unison and project an impressive presence.
For this one requirement, we trained repeatedly for twelve days. We were also scolded and punished every day.
When Bishop Fang Hua announced the end of this training phase, five thousand people on the training ground cheered.
The month-long military training was mainly divided into three stages: basic training, advanced training, and assessment.
Ruan Mingchu personally felt that the assessment had little to do with the previous two stages; it didn't check whether you stood straight or walked in unison. If you had to find a connection, it would be that they were all held on the military training planet.
The assessment lasted five days. Students were given certain supplies and then placed in other locations on the military training planet to fend for themselves.
The assessment is based on the students' scores in hunting star beasts. The star beasts are all artificially released, mostly C-level and D-level, with the highest level not exceeding B-level. Students can kill them by working together.
It's less of an assessment and more of an opportunity to broaden your horizons.
The assessment process includes both individual and group scores, with each group required to have ten members.
Omegas are usually very unwelcome when teaming up for wilderness adventures. All the Omegas at the Military Academy are in the Healing Academy, where they study mental relaxation techniques. Their main course is how to relax Alphas, and even if they awaken healing skills, the effects are not as good as those of the Betas in the same academy.
But an unexpected event occurred this year: Nguyen Minh Thu.
At this point, we need to introduce the professional system of our great interstellar space. If you only use the human body to perform professional skills, the main consumption is mental energy.
For example, the [Vine Silk Pulse Diagnosis] and [Holy Light Illumination] techniques that the military doctor used on Nguyen Minh Thu both consumed the doctor's mental energy.
During the operation of the mech, the mech can amplify the power of the professional skills emitted by mental energy, and the energy consumed by the mech is provided by energy cards.
Energy cards are made by creators using energy extracted from energy mines through pheromones; most practitioners in this field are Alphas.
It must be admitted that God has been too kind to Alphas; it would be impossible for Betas without pheromones to do so.
The use of mechs and other large-scale weapons of mass destruction is not permitted during military training assessments.
In other words, the stronger one's mental strength and physical constitution, the more points one is likely to get.
Although Ruan Mingchu's physique is only C-, which is very low, his mental strength is very strong, even stronger than the strongest student in the third year.
Even if Ruan Mingchu only has one skill, [Holy Light], it can keep them in peak condition at all times, which is very cost-effective.
It not only contributes to the group's overall score, but also provides an opportunity to admire beautiful women.
After Fang Hua finished explaining the rules and announced that teams could start forming, several Alphas crowded around Ruan Mingchu and invited him to form teams.
Nguyen Minh Thu, of course, chose to politely decline.
Five days! Such a great opportunity to be by Mu Yu's side. If we don't make the most of it, who will we be letting down?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ruan Mingchu approached Mu Yu: "Can we team up?"
Mu Yu frowned, and while everyone in A was hoping he would refuse, he nodded.
His intention was naturally to refuse; Omegas are too much trouble.
Mu Yu, who doesn't browse the campus network and refuses to share his knowledge with his childhood friends, is still unaware of Ruan Mingchu's glorious achievement of crushing all the top students in the Control Academy in the Liberation Day Virtual Command Competition. He still thinks Ruan Mingchu is a troublesome guy who only knows how to cry but has passable physical strength.
But he felt obligated to accept the food, and after eating so much meat for so many days, he couldn't bring himself to refuse in public and embarrass the other person.
The teaming up with Ruan Mingchu was settled. For Gong Zhushen's sake, Hao Youyou, the playboy Beta, could also join his team.
With six spots remaining, Mu Yu entrusted them entirely to Gong Zhushen.
Gong Zhushen's future career plan is to be Mu Yu's secretary-general, taking care of many of the miscellaneous tasks that Mu Yu is impatient with but needs to do.
As the company commander, Mu Yu has a responsibility to find a good team for the Omega students who are temporarily disliked.
"Team captains who are not full, please draw lots now."
Mu Yu had the Omegas write their names on slips of paper, fold them up, and then have the captain draw them.
Seven teams were not full, nine of which had Omegas, and the remaining two Omegas were squeezed into Mu Yu's own team.
