Chapter 240: An Anonymous Recommendation

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

Hu Yangxuan didn't want to assume the risk of being killed by Zergs, since his family had been counting on him to pass down the family name. Although he was hand-picked to attend the Templar's court, he never liked adventures. That being said, he did acquire the taste for group activities, so he eventually decided to go to Norton if his friends were going.

Karl had always followed Wang Tong wherever he went, so he had signed up as a volunteer the minute he knew that Wang Tong was going to do so. Due to his excellent performance in the tournament, one of the fleet captains had noticed his name and requested him to his fleet. Everyone knew that serving in the navy was the quickest way to climb to the top, so most of Karl's classmates were very jealous of his luck.

Karl wanted to refuse the invitation and join the ground forces where Wang Tong was going to be, but his appointment in the fleet was set in stone, so he had no other choices but to obey the order.

The fleet captain was very impressed by Karl's performance during the tournament. As a young fledgling, Karl had established a unique technique that was named after himself, and he had quickly become famous outside of Ayrlarng.

The few students who had taken the initiative to join the military had given a measure of pressure to the rest of the students. In a few days, the number of volunteers at Ayrlarng started to increase steadily.

It was clear then that the influence of the S club had exceeded all the other student groups combine. It had also exerted its influence in the Bernabeu thanks to Cao Yi. Cao Yi had been working diligently on all matters of the club since Apache was too lazy to do anything. That being said, Best and Luo Manman also helped Cao Yi in handling some minor tasks. Despite the considerable influence of the club, only the members of the club knew that their leader was Wang Tong, the boy who had defeated Capth.

The victory of the Ayrlarng and Bernabeu alliance over the Capth was the hard earned honor for both schools, and it was Wang Tong who had saved the day. Otherwise, Wang Tong would not become the club leader so quickly.

Cao Yi's initial intention of working for the S cub was to make the exchange of information between the two schools more convenient. However, he didn't expect the club to develop such a far-reaching influence.

Having heeded Zhou Sisi's suggestion, Wang Tong published a motivational letter in the name of S club to his schoolmates. The message called out to all students who were confident and determined to become future soldiers to challenge themselves and partake in the campaign.

Zhou Sisi drafted the letter, and Wang Tong signed it. The passionate rhetoric and Wang Tong's scintillating speech had motivated a lot of students.

‘Do you want to be the next Wang Tong?’

‘Do you want to be a real soldier?’

‘Take your first step TODAY!’

‘Let the danger on Norton be your stepping stone to your success!’

This motivational speech would be meaningless in other schools since no one knew who Wang Tong was, but it had proven extremely effective in Ayrlarng and Bernabeu. Thanks to Wang Tong's emotional speech, all the members of the S club had volunteered to go to Norton. Although their application still needed to be approved since most of them were in their first year, they had made their voice very clear.

Humans were strange creatures since they were willing to risk their life for their pursuit. Danger meant challenge and challenge meant opportunity and success.

For a whole week, the S club had successfully carried out their own campaign and created a wave of enthusiasm among the students of Ayrlarng and Bernabeu that was rarely seen in any other academies.

Although the battlefield was dangerous, the government and the military would ensure the safety of the future of the Confederation.

Watching the pile of applications in front of her, Samantha was pleasantly surprised and also afraid at the same time. She knew right then that only a few out of these hundreds of applications would be approved. As the principal, she was responsible for the safety of her students, and therefore, she would have to make sure the applicant was qualified to join the battlefield.

Thanks to the S club, Samantha and Martyrus had been two of the luckiest principals in the matters of filling their quota. Although the military didn't set a clear quota, principals knew that it was essential to provide a satisfactory number of 'volunteers.' If they didn't, there might be an adverse effect on the relationships between the academy and the military. And everyone knew that a good relationship with the militarily was the key to running a military academy.

There were only so many new positions with a promising outlook for new graduates, and the competition was fierce. Therefore, the ”relationship” would become the determining factor in securing these positions.

The students' enthusiasm at Ayrlarng and Bernabeu had greatly pleased the military. Feeling pressured, the other principals started working hard on encouraging their students to partake in the military campaign on Norton.
