“Yeah, leaving aside the fact that our overall strength is not as strong as the Empire Military Academy, if we could invite senior brothers and sisters, the neighboring academy will surely invite their academy president! He is the Holy Son, with an S+ level Manifestation even in the support department. We can’t beat that!”

Although only two weeks had passed since the start of school, Xuan Yuansheng was indeed tirelessly working towards his goal of becoming the next academy president.

Treating someone to a meal was indeed an excellent activity to promote friendship. Combined with Xuan Yuansheng’s strong leadership and personal abilities demonstrated in training, he had established his prestige among the freshmen.

For instance, at this moment, the Silver Star freshmen looked up to him, expecting him to come up with a plan.

“Let’s not rush into it.” Xuan Yuansheng thought for a moment. “We can consider inviting senior brothers and sisters tomorrow. Now, the most important thing is to determine the quota for the main members of the freshmen and form the core command team.”

It was still the preparation stage, and even the location of the inter-school competition hadn’t been decided, let alone military arrangements.

In terms of tactical planning, he had studied before and even gained firsthand experience on the battlefield.

With Xuan Yuansheng’s wealth of experience, he wanted to finalize the core team before considering other matters.

“Do you have any recommended candidates?” he asked.

“For close combat, it’s definitely classmate Yuan!” one freshman spoke up, and others nodded in agreement.

“Absolutely, Yuan is so strong; she’s the most suitable.”

In this freshman class, only Xuan Yuansheng and Yuan Hanshuang were at the fourth level. In terms of cultivation level, these two were miles ahead of others, leaving everyone in the dust.

In the past few weeks of training, the spectacular sword duels between Yuan Hanshuang and Xuan Yuansheng, as well as her skipping of the third-level combat class, had left a profound impression on the freshmen.

However, Yuan, with her seemingly aloof demeanor and formidable strength, appeared unapproachable. Many freshmen hesitated to strike up a conversation with her.

“As my acknowledged friend, she’s undoubtedly the first choice for the team. Who else could it be?” Xuan Yuansheng said proudly, seemingly unaware that others might be praising her instead.

“As for the others, Yuan’s little brother seems quite formidable too. I think his surname is Ke?”

“Oh, you mean the Diamond parrot.”

Xuan Yuansheng rubbed his chin, “He’s from the defense department, and his strength is indeed quite good.”

Getting a “not bad” from him was a significant praise.

While Xuan Yuansheng appeared proud and self-confident on the surface, there were certain times when he exhibited a frightening level of perceptiveness.

Even though he had been chatting away with Yuan Hanshuang during the morning exercises in the past few days, he also paid close attention to the two juniors beside his new friend.

With two candidates decided, Xuan Yuansheng went straight over to them.

“Core team? Sure.” Yuan Hanshuang had no objections to becoming a key player in the inter-school competition; after all, she had her own share of credits to earn.

Ke Junda, always following in the footsteps of his leader, was surprised and pleased to receive recognition from the young prince. Naturally, he agreed wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, Wu Haoxuan, standing to the side, looked left and right, “What about me?” Wu Haoxuan spoke for himself

“You?” only then did Xuan Yuansheng notice his presence, giving him a somewhat disdainful look.

Although the support department was quite rare, Wu Haoxuan was one of the few A-rank students. However, his sneaky behavior during morning exercises left a rather unfavorable impression on Xuan Yuansheng.

Between the two juniors, Xuan Yuansheng actually admired Ke Junda, who added extra training after their morning exercises, every day.

Having seen many geniuses from a young age, Xuan Yuansheng had more appreciation for ordinary people like Ke Junda, who relied on their efforts and sweat to make up for their shortcomings.

“Let him join. Despite his bizarre manifestation, his support abilities might come in handy if he’s lucky,” Yuan Hanshuang glanced at the somewhat pitiful Wu Haoxuan, “If he’s lucky.”

Of course, luck was the key.

“Okay then.” Since Yuan Hanshuang agreed, Xuan Yuan Sheng naturally did not oppose. “So now, we have four members in the team, we need two more.”

A reasonable team configuration generally comprised six people. In the upcoming academy ranking competition next year, each academy’s team in the team battle segment could only have six members.

“Two close combat, one defense, one auxiliary. Hmm, we’re missing ranged and control.”

Although the departments were categorized as close combat, control, defense, auxiliary, ranged, and agility, but in actual team formation, it depends on the specific circumstances. It’s not necessary to have one from each department, and sometimes adjustments can be made.

Yuan Hanshuang said, “For the control department, I have a candidate.”

“Who?”

“My roommate.”

Speaking of this, Yuan Hanshuang also found it quite unbelievable.

The young lady usually appeared delicate, and during military training, she complained about being tired every day. However, over such a long period, not only did she not give up, but she also persevered through it all.

On the first day of the weighted long run, many Silver Star students fainted. Yet, Xia Mengrou not only completed the run but also walked back to the dormitory on her own, which was nothing short of a miracle.

But that wasn’t the most miraculous part. The most miraculous thing was that Xia Mengrou, as an A-rank control student, had reached the peak of the third level in cultivation level. This was two levels higher than Wu Haoxuan and one level higher than Ke Junda, which was quite astonishing.

Considering that most of the A-rank freshmen at Silver Star were hovering around the mid to high levels of the third stage, and Ke Junda was only B-rank, catching up with the majority relied on his diligent efforts.

By this calculation, the young lady had a chance to break through the fourth level within six months.

With good luck, she might even achieve it this semester.
