Another week had passed since the end of the small competitions. The large team competition, mech combat, gunfight, armored combat and so on had also ended one after another. According to the ranking points of each competition, the top ten universities could participate in the integrated warfare contest. Seven Lights was still fifth place this time, and the higher-ups of Seven Lights were very satisfied with this ranking. It was not easy to conquer a country, and even harder to defend it. However, the final ranking had not been decided yet. The integrated warfare contest's points accounted for thirty percent of the total points, and many schools had staged a spectacular comeback in the final integrated warfare contest.
The electronic magazine 'Gathering of Winds and Clouds' had reported some of the highlights of the contest in a special section. Unlike previous years, the topic that took up the most space this year was not the champion and runner-up of the large competitions or duels, but a guy who looked like a generic robot — Shadow X.
Shadow X had set off a hurricane of attention on the Sector Championship platform on the first day of his appearance. Then, all kinds of unusual events happened one after another, and it was exactly because of his appearance that he attracted some of the military academies' seed students who had never appeared before. These students participated with Shadow X's participation, and left with Shadow X's withdrawal. All of the focus was on Shadow X.
There was an authoritative critic who commented on 'Gathering of Winds and Clouds' that Shadow X was a supernova that was in no way inferior to the military academies' top students.
Some people said that the critic was exaggerating a little. No matter how excellent an academy at Sector B was, there was no way they could surpass the top students at Sector C, right? Some people agreed with the critic's words, but even more people maintained a wait-and-see attitude. The integrated warfare contest was the competition that tested a student's ability the most. Whether they were gold or scrap metal would be known in a single match.
Most importantly, Shadow X's true identity would be exposed in the integrated warfare contest. The people of every university counted down the days and looked forward to it every day.
Each university would send ten people to participate in the integrated warfare contest, and each university would choose ten people based on their students' abilities. The person in charge of the selection was the head of the training division, but Huo Neil had gone to Sector C to report on the last biochemical base operation. Therefore, the selection this time was taken over by Gerrard.
Gerrard would choose suitable people and report them to the higher-ups of Seven Lights. At the same time, it would be announced on the Seven Lights forum so that the students of Seven Lights would know. If there were no major problems, the higher-ups of Seven Lights would finalize the final list.
The students who wanted to participate in the integrated warfare contest would submit their ID and battle records on the Sector Championship platform to Gerrard for review. Normally speaking, the higher the battle record, the higher the chances of being selected. Everyone was eager to participate in the integrated battle. Anyone who thought they had some ability would report their information.
When they graduated, if their graduation information included their experience in the Sector Comprehensive Championship, then they would be in a much better position after they left campus. They could straighten their backs and shout boldly, "Look, we've participated in the Sector Championship!"
Gerrard was lying lazily in his office, looking at the list of names and battle records on the screen in front of him. There were nearly a thousand people who had signed up for the competition, and some of them kicked Gerrard out the moment they saw him. With Gerrard's many years of experience, he knew which of them were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and which of them had real skills and strong qualities, just by looking at the battle videos.
There were only ten people participating in the integrated warfare, but three of them had already been decided internally. This was decided long ago by the school's higher-ups. But seeing that the three people who had been decided internally were really capable, Gerrard had no objections.
The three that had been decided internally were Fu Luo, Kang Man, and Ci Jincheng.
Fu Luo, Vice Headmaster An Ting's precious granddaughter, a top student in the medical school. Medical personnel were a necessity in the integrated warfare, so Gerrard had no objections at all towards Fu Luo.
Kang Man, a specially recruited student, an information technology developer in the Scientific Research Department. At a young age, he had already published his results in a journal with a high degree of contribution. He had a very good understanding of positioning, teleportation, and secret code decryption. He belonged to the category of technical personnel, which was also necessary.
As for Ci Jincheng, even if he didn't know what illustrious achievements Ci Jincheng had, Gerrard would have to think twice before objecting. People might only know some superficial things about the Ci Family, but Gerrard had heard some things about the Ci Family. However, those things were classified as secrets, and no one dared to say it out loud.
Gerrard held his chin and moved his finger over the button, flipping through the student's information page by page. Suddenly, Gerrard's hand paused. He straightened his body and moved closer to the screen.
"This bastard!" Gerrard couldn't help but curse with a smile.
There were two pictures on the screen. One was Silin's picture, and the other was Shadow X in the form of a generic robot. Below the pictures were the relevant battle records. Gerrard didn't need to look at the battle records to drag Silin into the list straight away. After the last biochemical base mission, everyone in the training division and the police division were full of praise for this little guy who wasn't even twenty years old yet. Be it personal strength or technical application, Silin's performance had far surpassed the average student.
Next on Silin's list was Knight. Gerrard didn't need to look at the others because he dragged Knight's face straight into the list the moment he saw it. This was a good seedling that should've gone to a military academy in the first place. The descendant of a general, his strength was unquestionable, and there was nothing to nitpick about. Moreover, even if Gerrard didn't choose him, as long as Knight expressed his desire to participate in the integrated warfare contest, the higher-ups of Seven Lights would still add him into the list.
After flipping through a few more people, Gerrard chose Pride, Sird, and Hard. Now there were eight of them.
There were still two left …
Gerrard rubbed his sore eyes and was about to drip two drops of eye drops when his communicator rang. Gerrard looked at the name displayed on the interface and curled his lips. Fine, it's most likely another backdoor opening through connections.
Gerrard's guess was correct. The call was from the lord headmaster of Seven Lights himself. Someone had sought out the headmaster and asked him to negotiate with Gerrard. This person was none other than young master Lung of the 'So Poor That Only Has Money' family. Originally, young master Lung really didn't plan to participate in this integrated warfare contest. He had no money to participate in this thing, and he didn't care about honor or whatever. However, he felt awkward when the other three people in the dormitory were participating, so he ran to Seven Lights' headmaster's doorstep in a slipper and waited for him.
Gerrard didn't know much about the Andriera family. The public's impression of them was that they were a 'So Poor That Only Has Money' family. But in reality, it was more than that. Even if he didn't know much about the Andriera family, Gerrard still knew some bits of information. The Andriera family was familiar with many of the bigwigs in the military, and many of the military's weapons were provided by the Andriera family. The Andriera family paid a lot for the military's expenses. Gerrard couldn't object because of this. The headmaster would be the one to step in anyway. The old headmaster would take responsibility if anything happened.
As for the last person, Gerrard chose the fifth place of this single combat tournament. His name was Copley. As for why he was only fifth place, there was no need to explain. The military academy was right in front of him.
The reason he chose this person wasn't just because of his results in the single combat tournament. It was more because of this person. Copley wasn't a normal human. He was a Hossenfess. A normal human's static plane of view was only a hundred or so degrees, but a Hossenfess could see more than two hundred and seventy degrees. Their eyes were more inclined to the sides compared to normal humans, which was why they had this advantage. Their wide field of view and sensitive vision made them better at investigation. This is it!
Ten people. Three were predetermined, and one was a backdoor candidate. Gerrard chose six himself. This was the first list. After that, Gerrard chose a few more candidates. After he was done, he submitted the list.
Sigh, I wonder how the people in Seven Lights will react when they see Silin's ID.
