The four of them are still equally unruly, but very obedient to the orders of their superiors, indicating that they possess considerable self-control.
"I announce that Li Feng and the other three have achieved an A+ in the first week. You all have the next two days off to relax and prepare for the next week's training."
When Second Lieutenant Taiga spoke these words, the students could hardly believe their ears. The four sergeants were not seen snickering, so the students realized that this was probably a trap.
"Very well, at ease. Li Feng and Sarta, stay behind. The rest of you are dismissed!"
As the dismissal order was announced, everyone started yelling. These five days had been unbearable, but now, by some stroke of luck, they were given two days off. They had never realized how beautiful two days of leave could be.
"The two of you, come with me." The four instructors looked at Li Feng and Sarta with interest. These two students were about to duel, and it was even school-approved, which was quite unexpected.
Li Feng and Sarta also realized what was happening and followed the instructors towards the inner part of the base. The students used peripheral settings, while this place belonged to the Shang Jing Garrison, with a lot of real power and chosen from the elite. It was somewhat of a waste to have them teach some students, but only Yalang had such a big face.
"Boss, who do you think will win? I bet on Sarta."
"You're so cunning, Monkey. No wonder the students call you that. Haha."
"Hmph, Bear Head, it's not bad to call you Bear Head instead of Iron Bear in the future."
"You two, stop arguing. Wait and see later. These two student are not simple. Li Feng is low-key, but Sarta cannot be ignored. You should know that name, Loki." Taiga said.
"Sarta? Loki... Loki? Could it be...?"
"Hehe, with the surname Loki, no wonder. Lieutenant, is that person his father?"
"Correct!"
"Damn, it's a narrow path for enemies. Lieutenant, let Iron Bear train him. These simple tests are useless for the Loki family."
"Exactly. When we are in our territory, we can't just ignore everything. Colonel begged for you four, complete this training task, and you can return to the team. If you cause any trouble, even if the Colonel forgives you, I will still skin you alive!"
"Haha, I knew the Colonel has the kindest heart!" Monkey grinned and waved his slender hands. When the four of them were executing their tasks, they sometimes killed too many people out of impulse, which led to demotion. They were also afraid of causing trouble, so they were placed under Taiga's command. Naturally, the four of them dared not cause any trouble in front of their former superior.
"Kindness? You need to pass through eight gates to return to your team this time. Don't blame me for not reminding you!" Taiga said, unkindly.
As soon as he mentioned the eight gates, the four of them became serious. TIN was their home, and even if they had to die, they wanted to die in TIN. Although their strength only allowed them to reach the seventh gate, they would fight to the end. Besides, this was definitely the Colonel's best effort to help them. Damn it, if they couldn't pass, they deserved to die.
Li Feng and Sarta followed behind. Suddenly, both of them became alert. The four people in front of them had been behaving normally, but then they emitted a thick aura of killing intent, as if they were completely different people... It was impossible for an ordinary instructor to possess such strength.
"This is a military base. Please present your identification... beep, beep, beep. Verification complete. You are authorized to enter."
The gates slowly opened.
This was the real military base, where real soldiers were training.
Currently, there are two types of military forces: mobile suits and conventional forces. Conventional forces have been abolished in space, but they still exist on the ground, and the number is not small. After all, mobile suits are expensive to produce and require highly skilled pilots, so they cannot be completely replaced by mecha.
However, there are fewer conventional forces in the security zone, which is mainly used to deal with emergencies and terrorist activities. Mobile suits are the primary force here. In a major city like Shang Jing, there is a standard configuration of 500 mobile suits, which means there are about 600 regular mobile suit pilots and more than 500 reserve trainees.
Mobile suits are naturally the top soldiers among ground forces, but in the eyes of those high-ranking interstellar warship soldiers, they are still cannon fodder. Therefore, there is still some estrangement between mobile suit and warship soldiers. Both sides disdain each other, and this has been the case since the day war existed.
"Haha, you two can relax a bit. We are all brothers here. Come, let me introduce you. These two young men are the special recruits of Yalang this year. They belong to the mobile suit series, our future comrades-in-arms!"
Taiga clapped his hands and called over the soldiers who were training. They were training bare-chested and stopped when they heard Taiga's call, gathering around him.
"Welcome! A real man must become a mobile suit pilot. You two have good taste!"
When the soldiers heard that they were from the mobile suit series, they immediately developed a good impression of them. They were not very interested in those from the command series. Those people would definitely be promoted quickly in the future. If they could enter an interstellar warship, they might even come out as second lieutenants. This was something they couldn't compare to. Both sides had no relationship with each other, but special recruits from the mobile suit series were indeed rare to hear of, so there was a natural affinity between them.
"Sarta, a man from the Loki family, the pride of USE. Let's give him a round of applause!"
The Loki family was the elite of mobile suit pilots, both men and women. Taiga had fought against Sarta's father before, and although he had lost, he acknowledged his defeat. This surname was well-known in the military, especially among mobile suit pilots. NUP's mobile suits always won by numbers in battles, but the Loki family was an exception. They were very strong, extremely powerful.
The response was a warm round of applause and cheers. Sarta's blood boiled. This was what he had been longing for all along, the recognition of a true man. This was what a soldier was. His blood was the blood of the Loki family, the blood of a soldier, the glory of the military!
Taiga waved his hand to quiet everyone down. "Brothers, clear a space. These two will engage in a man-to-man fight. Whether it's hand-to-hand combat or mobile suits, it's all good!"
