Astral Flower-Chapter 106: Before the Start of the Competition

Never trust anyone.

At this moment, Feng Yu Hua felt that she had made the biggest mistake in her life. Just because they were both selected for big missions, does it mean she could trust the other party?

There had never been real trust even between partners in their organization.

What the organization wanted was for them to finish the missions. Whether the people who participated ended up dead or alive was not their concern whatsoever.

It was a cruel organization.

Feng Yu Hua turned around and entered the game again, putting this matter behind. But her relationship with the so called partner of hers had already formed a crack.

...

The next day, Nan Hua woke up early and went to the Virtual World.

Feng Yu Hua knew about the competition that Nan Hua participated in. Unfortunately, she and the other students couldn’t watch the introduction because they had to practice. After an hour or so, they would be allowed to watch in order to learn more from their seniors.

These groups could indeed be watched by other people, but usually only people who were involved in the military would watch it. This was because other people would not care too much about these children.

Who would like to watch children fight each other?

The battles were not very fun most of the time. The contents were boring and it was more fun to watch game battles in the other part of the Virtual World.

But this battle is the most real battles.

Many people who wanted to watch were people who understood their current situation and knew that it was necessary for these cadets to learn.

Besides, there were also various other competitions.

This group battles that only involved the most primitive weapons could be said to be the least favorite.

Tep.

Nan Hua logged in and entered the email sent to her.

"Young Miss Nan, here’s the link for the competition. Please remember your codename is East and will be referred as such during the competition."

Seeing the content, Nan Hua clicked the link and was teleported over in the Virtual World.

For the sake of confidentiality, all members would be wearing standard equipment that cover their body. Along with the fact that the name shown was only their codename, there wouldn’t be many people who knew them unless they introduced themselves and their codename.

Anyway, this was just a codename for the competition.

Their codename for real missions would naturally be different.

"Oh, you’re here East!" Tian Lou saw Nan Hua and waved his hand. With standard equipment, everyone looked very similar to each other. They had black clothes that covered their body, even their face. But these clothes were all only holograph in the Virtual World.

It would not affect their performance.

Before the game, they could see the nickname of each people on top of their head. This was done for them to recognize their teammates before the competition officially started.

After the game started, how they recognize each other is up to them.

"Hand." Nan Hua nodded.

Tian Luo’s face scrunched. "I’m Handsome, not hand!"

"Hand is pretty good." Long Shi Yu laughed when he saw Tian Lou fuming. For him, it didn’t matter what kind of nickname they used here. After all, they were not trying to become famous or become a star through this formal competition.

Instead, they were trying to achieve good result.

"Center." Nan Hua nodded at Long Shi Yu.

"West and Lu Pian are registering our team again to confirm our participation. In addition, they’re also taking the ribbon for our team." Long Shi Yu shrugged.

Using ribbon could be said to be the most low level method used for them to recognize each other. It was naturally only used in these kind of competitions as if they were in the real world, they couldn’t use it unless they wished to leak out their whereabouts to others.

Nan Hua’s eyes flickered.

For her, these ribbons were unnecessary.

She could sense other people’s presence through hers and their own mental strength. Added with her keen observation technique, these pitiful cover from the Virtual World was not of much use for her.

Even Long Qian Xing would definitely not need these ribbons.

He was already trained in the real battles where they needed to keep their senses up. Not to mention that melee battles could be said to be the easiest in the current war method. But it was also the basic for the other courses they had to complete in the Military Academy.

"Center, you’re a fourth year?" Nan Hua suddenly asked.

Long Shi Yu arched his eyebrows when he heard Nan Hua’s question. "Do you think I’m the same age as West?"

Nan Hua nodded.

"I’m a year younger than him, but he entered the military academy faster than me." Long Shi Yu laughed. He looked at the other two. "And I have long passed the class that required all the basics. I’m technically in ’higher’ class than these two people. For your information, Hand and Lu Pian are the same age as West."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

Her evaluation of Tian Lou and Tou Lu Pian fell by another level.

It seemed that the students in the military academy was not as good as she thought.

Long Qian Xing is 21 years old and also in the fourth year of Military Academy A, but he had basically finished all the 6 years course.

Yes, the university here had 6 years of study.

If they were smart and strong enough, they could graduate early.

But most of them would need to take the full 6 years in order to be able to finish the entire course.

Some of them even took another one or two years before they could fully graduate.

Thankfully, they were allowed to stay in the Military Academy A until they were 25 years old.

Though, it didn’t actually help that much since if they started university when they were 18, 7 years later they were already 25 years old.
