Chapter 145: Teams (2/2)

Yesterday night, Blue fire went to all of them and clearly warned that the competition would be something related to forming teams and that is also voluntary. So, they are given a warning that no one should join Sam's team or they would suffer.

Sam shook his head with a chuckle.

Blue fire and Zeke are looking at him but were surprised by the unexpected smile.

After some time, they were summoned to the grounds of the estate and a total of two hundred candidates assembled.

Sam saw Nicholas and both of them waved at each other.

General Spark is standing on a big stage with some middle-aged men standing behind him. His back is straight and his burly physique while that aura of a commanding presence as if he was forcing everyone to follow absolute obedience.

He is a General indeed. Sam felt impressed and he could feel some respect for him

”Welcome everyone.

You all are the candidates who are selected to the next phase of tests to get a life changing opportunity.

In this stage of the competitions, the duration is for 18 months.

The first 16 months will be divided into two stages.

And those two stages are Military and Business. The last two months will be announced after the first two stages are over and required eliminations are over.

Now before I explain anything more, for into teams, I don't care how many members are in a team, but it should be even numbered. You have ten minutes. You can be a team member with people from your own territory or even from the other territories.”

All this time, General Spark looked at Sam. He wants to see if he would have any teammates and guess what he was surprised.

Because, there are a not one, but five teammates who came to him.

And the first one is Philip and he has a mischievous smile on his face followed by Jack, Hawk, Kelly and Drew.

Ray silently separated from them.

Sam didn't think that five of them would come. He only thought, Jack and Philip would surely come as for Kelly, he didn't know if she would.

Jack and him have been through a lot so he would come as for Philip, honestly Sam felt that Philip is more of a friend to him than Jack, it is just that they are not close enough. Both of them are not at a stage to share everything with each other.

Maybe the day Philip finally decides on what to learn in the Artisanship, they could talk.

As for Kelly, maybe there is still some stupid infatuation left and for Hawk and Drew he couldn't think of many possibilities except that they are here because Sam helped them a lot in the previous stages.

Sam didn't think much and he wouldn't be surprised if everyone didn't come to him except Philip and Jack.

After ten minutes, the teams were formed.

All the teams formed are the teams of ten, every territory has twenty candidates which made two teams from each territory. The only odd team is Sam's because there are only six and the remaining four were added to the Southern Star city's team.

And the four people that are added to southern star city team are Zeke and Blue fire and two of their noble lackeys from Blue flame city.

General seemed to have pulled strings in a lot of places just to get back for his Grandson.

Sam last all the respect he had for him in an instant.

General Spark checked that everyone was done, then he spoke.

”Now that everyone is set. Every team will be divided into two. Half of you will go to military in the first stage and stay there for eight months, the second one will start a business, and you have to earn money in a legal way.

After eight months, you will change the positions, the first half will take over the business or conduct new businesses and earn money while the second half will be entering the military.

The team points will be given cumulatively and the team members themselves will be distributing themselves among them.

As for how you get the points, you won't be knowing until the final evaluation.

But do remember, in the Military the instructors and the superiors have right to deduct your points for your misconduct and in the Business Phase, there would be a tight surveillance on you and any underhanded means used will be charged by deduction of your points.

You divide into two teams and I would decide on who would participate in military and who would participate in the business first.”
