Mike gathered everyone together, looked at them, and said, “I hope you understand one thing. All of you are the same as me. There is no distinction between nobles and commoners. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that in the next three months, I and the other 14 people who meet the Dark Continent’s selection criteria will train you until you become a qualified student.”
The crowd was silent. No one said anything to oppose Mike.
Mike looked at the group of people and sighed softly. He asked, “Do you know what 200 people represent in the army system?”
“Two squadrons.”
This was not a difficult question. At least for some of the youths, it was very simple. For example, the fatty who answered the question. If Mike remembered correctly, he was the son of a general.
Mike nodded, looked at them, and said, “That’s right. It’s the establishment of two squadrons. In other words, it can be said to be the establishment of half a company. Do you know the difference between half a company and two companies?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Mike said, “It’s very simple. Other than me, no one will call two squadrons half a company.”
Everyone looked puzzled as they heard Mike continue, “In my opinion, all of you are like a defeated army. All of you are dejected, just like a rooster that has lost a battle. It looks extremely funny! I don’t even understand how those of you who haven’t even passed the simplified version of the selection can still smile.”
Hearing Mike’s words, Elinda was completely dumbfounded.
What happened to being calm? Why did it sound like a one-sided complaint?
Mike continued, “Do you know how much resources the Dark Continent spent in order to transport you bunch here? More than 200 people, traveling 100,000 miles. The number of resources consumed could maintain a big team, and it would sustain them for a month at the front line, defending against the undead. This is the wrong decision of the higher-ups. If I were His Majesty, I would rather give these resources to the soldiers so that they have a better chance of surviving. I wouldn’t waste them on you.”
Mike shook his head and said, “Forget it. Let’s cut the crap. I’ve looked at the selection criteria. I saw some things that were interesting. All of you have passed the divine power level test. I don’t have to worry about this. The only thing missing now is actual combat and physical fitness. I looked at your battle results. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really shocking.”
When he said this, most of them lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Mike held a piece of paper and said loudly, “Among these 200 people, 80% of them were defeated by those of a higher level. There were also a few who were defeated by those of a similar level.”
Mike was very angry. No one dared to look at him.
Suddenly, Mike’s gaze swept to the bottom row of words.
“Ah–” Mike deliberately dragged out his tone and said, “There was actually someone who defeated those of a higher level. It’s really amazing. I really didn’t expect it.”
This person’s face was slightly red. He lowered his head.
Mike said, “You, step out. I now officially appoint you as the captain of a small team, in charge of ten people.”
He looked at Mike in astonishment and said, “I, I can’t do it.”
Mike glanced at him and said, “If you say you can’t do it before you’ve tried it, then you’ll never be able to do it.”
Mike picked out ten people and put them under his command. It was worth mentioning that the defeated Shawk was among them.
His face instantly turned pale. He was already thinking about how he had offended Mike in the past. Otherwise, why would mike assign Shawk to him?
