(Congratulations to the new helmsman "Mathildalol")
Looking at the square and gate made of stones, the traces of vicissitudes of life cannot be faked. It only takes one glance to see the long history of the building in front of you.
At this time, this building attracted special attention, but no one dared to approach it.
Because densely packed troops armed with all kinds of firearms have surrounded this huge ring fighting arena, and there are also eight mechas standing around.
A dark green steel armor shell wraps a heavy body, four holding heavy shields, four holding huge kinetic energy rifles, and a row of military armored vehicles at the mecha's feet.
Looking at this posture, ordinary people would not dare to get close.
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointing toward the sky, but the soldiers' expressionless vigilance invisibly separated the crowd.
"Please show your identification information."
As soon as Mu Fan stepped forward, he was stopped by a soldier who took out his personal electronic nameplate and swiped it on the instrument.
"Hey, candidate No. 1578, welcome."
"Please pass." The soldier made way for the passage.
"Thanks."
After skillfully placing his belongings, taking off his watch and headset, Mu Fan was allowed to continue passing.
Stepping into this gate, Mu Fan really realized how small he was. This gate was already magnificent, but what appeared in front of him were sixteen stone avenues, spreading to different places.
"Candidate No. 1578, please take route 12." A reminder came. Mu Fan lowered his head and looked at the signs on the road in front of him, and followed the prompts.
After walking about a hundred meters, they entered a dark passage. In this silent passage, Mu Fan could already hear voices coming from the front, and it sounded quite noisy.
It seems that the bright spot in front should be there. Mu Fan silently calculated in his mind that it was about four to five hundred meters away.
The ring fighting arena is four to five hundred meters away, and it looks like there should be an audience seat above the head.
It’s actually so big!?
A careful calculation shows that the width of the auditorium alone is four to five hundred meters in horizontal distance. If you include the tilt angle, it must be more than five hundred meters.
Then how big must this fighting arena be!
As Mu Fan gradually approached, the noisy voices began to become clearer.
"Do you think we can stand till the end?"
"I can definitely do it. I will fight for my future." This voice was full of fighting spirit.
"I see, at level 15, I was number one in our place. Only after I came here did I realize that I was at the bottom." A young man's voice was rational and mixed with ridicule.
"Are there any outstanding candidates among you?"
"Why not!? I didn't expect so many monsters to appear in the Ninth City District. Look at the faces of the academy observers. They are obviously very happy, but we are in trouble."
…
This was a group of candidates who had nothing to do and were communicating with each other. They were so engrossed in what they were talking about that Mu Fan squeezed into the middle of them and noticed this relatively thin boy.
Compared with his peers, Mu Fan's height is still outstanding, but now looking at the stadium, there are only a few people with a height below 1.85 meters, and Mu Fan has become an outlier.
"Are you also a candidate?" A tall, muscular figure asked in a loud voice.
"Well, I followed the prompts." Mu Fan nodded and looked at the sturdy and scary young man in front of him. Those muscles made it hard to believe that he was under 20 years old.
"Hello, Pajie." The majestic young man smiled innocently and stretched out his hand.
"Mu Fan." Mu Fan announced his name and gave him a friendly shake.
"Are you also a civilian candidate?" asked a young man next to him who was about the same height but a little taller than Mu Fan by one or two centimeters. He saw that Mu Fan's clothes were really ordinary, similar to those of people like himself.
"Um."
When those people saw Mu Fan nodding, his attitude became obviously friendly.
So the slightly taller boy announced his name: "Eli."
"Chester"
"Phil"
These three people plus Pajie just now seem to have just formed a small alliance.
Eli took the lead and said: "We have just arrived, we have similar minds, and we are together temporarily. However, we may run into each other in a while, but..."
"We will not show mercy." The other three said in unison.
Mu Fan nodded in agreement. In fact, in his opinion, there is no need for such a small group. The quota is fixed. 100 people will be selected out of 8,000 people, with a ratio of 80 to 1. He does not think there is any need to rely on friendship.
"Mu Fan, we civilian candidates do not have an advantage. Many people of the right age from wealthy families also come to participate in this selection. Their training and conditions are much better than ours, so we form a group. If anyone has any ideas, we can share them."
I want to give you some information so that everyone can go further away." Eli explained.
Mu Fan was noncommittal and didn't say anything.
Seeing Mu Fan's appearance, these people knew that they couldn't win over him for the time being.
Suddenly the crowd in front started to shake and then moved forward.
"clang"
"clang"
"clang"
After three antique gongs sounded, a voice came from the loudspeaker above the area:
"All candidates enter the venue to prepare. The fighting audition will begin in half an hour."
As the crowd surged, Mu Fan saw clearly the true face of this giant fighting arena for the first time.
Magnificent and majestic!
When Mu Fan stepped out of the preparation room, he realized that people like him were as tiny as a bunch of ants in this giant fighting arena.
The nearly 100-meter-high auditorium around them stretched out of sight, and the endless fighting stages were connected one after another. There was an officer standing next to each fighting stage.
This has really reached a certain level of alert. It seems that the Amethyst government has put a lot of effort into preparing for the federal exam.
Mu Fan noticed that the ranks of these officers were all second lieutenant. Thinking of the second lieutenant Nick from the previous physical fitness test, he couldn't help but feel awe-struck. Every time he saw the power of the federal military, he could refresh the upper limit of his knowledge.
But the examiners from those colleges seem to be missing.
What Mu Fan didn't know was that at a height of more than 40 meters above their heads, there were floor-to-ceiling window suites used as tiers in this large circle of auditorium. These suites were filled with people at the moment.
There were young teachers in college uniforms, soldiers in high-level uniforms, middle-aged men in formal suits, and some accompanying female relatives.
This is obviously not just an observation group from the academy.
"This is a visual feast every year." A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses admired.
"Yes, these people are actually good prospects. If the army doesn't want us, we can take the opportunity to recruit some!" A middle-aged man next to him heard this and burst into laughter.
"Director Jin, you are here to look for bodyguard candidates again. I remember that you seemed to have gained a lot last year."
"Hahaha, I'm just average, but I can't compare to you. Boss Mai's many industries probably need talents more than me."
Just as the two were complimenting each other, an old man wearing black cloth embroidered with gold came over over there. He had gray hair on his temples, his steps were steady and powerful, his face was energetic, and his mouth was smiling.
There is also a tall girl holding the old man's arm. The ends of her long waterfall-like hair are slightly rolled up. Her white dress cannot block her slender legs. Her gait is light and graceful, and there is an occasional sparkle in her watery eyes.
