AF1 wasn't hard to find, but it was hard to enter.
Silin had come to the preparatory campus. With their current identities, they wouldn't be able to enter the official campus.
The preparatory campus was located in a different place from the official campus. In other words, they were on different planets. The preparatory campus wasn't far from the official campus. Silin could see the planet where the official campus was located from this planet.
The official campus of AF1 was located on a huge planet. There were three schools on the planet — AF1, AF2, and AF3. There were a few satellite planets around the planet. AF1's preparatory campus was located on one of these satellite planets.
Of course, the central planet could be seen with the naked eye from the satellite planet.
There were not many complicated tests required to enroll into AF3. However, AF1 and AF2 were different. AF1 was usually the leader of AF1, and the test would be held at the preparatory campus of AF1. The instructors from AF1 and AF2 would conduct a selection process together. After that, they would allocate the students based on the results of the selection process to determine who would be eliminated, who would be assigned to AF1, AF2, or AF3.
The selection process for AF1's preparatory campus was carried out in stages. It was arranged according to the total number of recommendation cards sent out and the time. Silin was in luck. The next stage of the selection process was not far away.
There were specialized navigation robots in the capital, and all Cillin had to do was to find one at random. After entering the attached destination and his identity information, a specialized navigation robot came over and brought Cillin to a place where a specialized car was waiting for him. After Cillin showed his recommendation card, he was brought to this satellite planet.
The navigation robot the size of a watermelon explained the arrangements to Silin and brought Silin to the entrance of the preparatory campus. It was also here that Silin met Libero.
Libero wasn't alone. There was a big guy with him. Libero called him "Ironhead."
Ironhead was also a mutant. Strictly speaking, Libero and Ironhead were considered half-mutants or mixed-bloods. Of course, that was just a nice way of saying it. To put it bluntly, some nobles would call them bastards. Many nobles who thought highly of themselves looked down on them the most. They thought the existence of mixed-bloods was a disgrace.
Libero was shocked when he saw Silin. He didn't expect Silin to be here as well. However, after the initial shock, he was overjoyed. Libero was very happy to meet someone who didn't discriminate against mixed-bloods like him. Previously, he thought that they were just passersby and had no deep relationship with each other. But now, it was different. They were all comrades in the same trench.
Libero introduced Ironhead to Silin. When Ironhead saw that Silin didn't show any disdain, he also showed a friendly smile.
"Hey, Silin, have you reported it yet?" Libero asked.
"No." Silin shook his head. They had stayed at the station for a long time. They had spent a lot of time eating with Huimao. It would be troublesome if this cat didn't have enough to eat.
"We've already reported it. Let me take you there!" Libero was very enthusiastic. They had just arrived, so they would be assigned temporary dormitories after reporting. If the three of them applied for a dormitory together, they would be put together. This was better than people they didn't know or people who discriminated against them.
Reporting was very simple. They just needed to show their recommendation cards. Every recommendation card contained information about the person who recommended them. Silin's Kari card contained Griffin's information.
Every tutor in AF1 and AF2 had to bear a certain amount of pressure when they gave out a recommendation card. This was because the recommended people might not necessarily be accepted. The final deduction ratio, which was the ratio of the number of recommendation cards given out to the number of people accepted, was closely related to the tutors. A tutor with a deduction ratio close to one would definitely be more respected in the affiliated schools.
When Silin handed the recommendation card to the person in charge, the person didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there were many tutors in the affiliated schools, and there would be many people who recommended them too. However, when the person in charge swiped the card and read the information, his attitude changed a little. He looked at Silin curiously. He didn't expect Griffin to recommend someone who looked so ordinary.
After getting the dormitory card, Silin, Libero, and Ironhead went to the temporary dormitory area.
Huimao came with them as a pet and didn't participate in the beast test. This was because he didn't have a recommendation. Even if he did, Huimao wouldn't participate in the test.
The temporary dormitory was similar to the dormitory that Silin saw in Barren Bator. However, it was a five-person dormitory. Everyone had their own bedroom, but they shared the training room and living room.
When Silin and the other two arrived at their assigned dormitory, there was already a person living there. From the looks of it, this person had been here for a while. When Silin and the others came in, the person seemed to have just woken up. He was still a little sleepy. When he saw Silin and the others, he stretched. "Yo, your roommates are here? All three of you are? "
Libero first introduced himself, then introduced Silin and Ironhead. The person scratched his messy hair and chuckled. "I'm Walley. I come from a small corner of a planet in the 17th Star Sector." As he spoke, Walley sniffed. "You guys bought breakfast?"
"It's lunch now, right?" Libero said helplessly.
Walley rubbed his hands. "Whatever. Can I join?"
"Sure. We bought enough anyway."
Silin put the things on the big table in the living room. Huimao squatted in front of his plate and cut Walley's spoon into three pieces when it reached over. However, Walley liked to tease Huimao. When a spoon broke, he would change to a fork. Finally, he succeeded in stabbing a small fish out of Huimao's plate. Huimao was so angry that he jumped up and scratched Walley's face.
However, Walley seemed to be quite open-minded. When he talked about his trip to AF1's preparatory campus, he summed it up in one word — debt collection.
The place where Walley lived had nothing to do with the people of FU High School. It was even more remote than Old Chang's planet. However, one day, Walley ran into a person who had forcefully landed his spaceship near his house. He was in a good mood, so he gave the person a meal. Then, the two of them got into a fight. Walley was beaten black and blue, and no one in the entire street could recognize him. Then, the person kicked Walley twice, took all the food in his house, and left. Before he left, he left behind a card and some money, telling Walley to find him at FU High School, and that he would make sure Walley didn't have to worry about food or clothing. After that, Walley came.
Listening to Walley's story, Silin felt that the teachers of the affiliated schools were quite unique. They were all unpredictable. Walley was not a mixed-blood like Libero and Ironhead. Like Silin, he was a normal person. However, someone who could get a recommendation card from an affiliated school's teacher had to have something special about him, even if the teacher's methods were a little strange.
Tie Tou's parents were servants of a noble family. Because they saw that Tie Tou had some ability, they used their connections to get a recommendation card and recommended him. But if Tie Tou were to be eliminated, it was easy to imagine that their family would have a hard time in the future. That was why Ironhead was under a lot of pressure.
Libero, on the other hand, was only able to get a recommendation card because of his teacher's connections. However, Libero did not want to talk about the details. Anyone could see that things were not as simple as he made them out to be. There had to be more to it, but since Libero was unwilling to talk about it, Silin and the others did not ask anymore.
The last one was the most special. He was an eight year old child of noble birth, but he was more lively than most nobles. He didn't pretend to be arrogant, indifferent, and sarcastic like some other nobles. Although he called them 'this young master' every time he opened his mouth, it was obvious from his eyes that he didn't mean to belittle Celine and the others at all. It was more like a colloquialism, just a habit.
The one who brought the child here was an old servant. The old servant reminded Silin of Berzett, who was always by Lung's side. Although he was polite and always had a smile on his face, he was not to be underestimated.
According to the rules of AF1, servants were not allowed to be brought here. Therefore, the old servant only brought the child here and placed a lot of things in the room. The storage cabinets in the living room and the kitchen were filled with things. The old servant said that these were greeting gifts for everyone. He hoped that Silin and the others could help his young master. This was the young master's first time away from home.
Silin and the others promised that they would take care of him. After all, they were all roommates in the same dorm.
Silin believed that the old servant must have investigated all four of them before coming here. Otherwise, he would not have brought the young master here so easily.
The child's name was Teita, but his surname was not mentioned.
The old servant finally left after the child impatiently called him back. After the old servant left, Teita jumped up and down in the bedroom that the old servant had tidied up and cheered loudly as if he had been liberated.
Silin and the others looked at each other. As expected, it was a child.
Teita did not put on airs. Even though he spoke with the accent that nobles always had, his actions left people speechless.
For example, Teita would say, "Hey, you guys, come over and talk to this young master!"
But in reality, Teita would run over to Silin and the others and join in the conversation. Although he was young, he knew a lot.
"Hey, young master Teita, do you know how the selection test will be conducted this time?" Walley asked as he lay on a chair and cracked some nuts.
Silin did not like nuts very much, but Huimao did. Therefore, while they were chatting, Silin would shell Huimao and give some to Teita.
Teita ate the nuts that Silin had peeled as he stretched out his palm and spread his fingers. "AF1's test has always had five rounds. It's called AF1's Fifth Test."
"AF1's Fifth Test? Is it difficult? "Libero asked.
Teita chewed on the nuts and frowned. "I heard it's quite difficult. In the first round, you have to use a pen to write on paper! "
Write?
"You mean, you have to use a pen to write word by word on that kind of paper?" Ironhead was troubled. Even as a servant, he had never used paper to write. He had always used an electronic tablet. If he really used a pen to write, he probably would not be able to read what he wrote.
Libero and Ironhead were in the same situation, but Silin and Walley were much calmer. They were more familiar with this kind of thing.
Silin handed a peeled nut to the child. "Continue."
Teita took the nut and threw it into his mouth, crunching noises as he chewed on it. His teeth were quite good. Then, he started counting with his fingers. "After that, there's the stress test, the three tests, the cooperation test, and the final interview. But don't worry, there's no so-called passing standard for each round. I don't know what they're selecting based on. Some obviously did badly in the written test, but were accepted in the end. Some who did well were rejected in the end."
Teita told them everything he knew, but the more Silin and the others learned, the more they felt that AF1's selection test was so different.
