Chapter 101: Selection
It wasn't until the Navy soldiers had set up the three test props on the table that Hillman exclaimed, "When you call your name, come up and choose to split one of them with your hand." ”
"If you can split it smoothly, you can join the navy!"
"The one who splits the wood and enlists in the army is a miscellaneous soldier. The one who splits the bricks and enlists in the army is a private. ”
"If you can split the iron, you will be directly promoted to the sergeant of the headquarters of the navy!"
"Moreover, there is only one chance to be selected, so you are not allowed to do it again!"
"Wow......!"
When the people who came up to the dojo to participate in the selection heard Hillman's words, they immediately let out an uproar.
This kind of test not only tests people's strength, but also tests people's courage and self-confidence.
You only have one chance to be selected, and you can't do it all over again, which means that you have to do it right the first time.
If someone thinks he has the strength to split bricks, he will also seriously consider whether to choose wood or bricks.
If something goes wrong, it's GG directly.
Either try to become a private, or do you want to be a miscellaneous soldier for safety?
Therefore, it will be a difficult decision for those who are not confident enough in their own strength.
Although the difference between the rank of the miscellaneous soldier and the private is not very high, the miscellaneous soldier needs to do some particularly hard and heavy dirty work on the ship or base, while the private does not need it.
That's the essential difference.
Hillman sat in a chair next to him and personally supervised the selection of recruits.
At this time, a naval soldier walked to the center of the dojo, holding a large stack of registration forms, and read aloud: "Dienze! ”
"Yes!"
I saw a young man in his teens walk quickly to the table with wooden planks.
"I'll challenge the plank!" Deenze said loudly.
"Let's get started!" The Navy soldier in charge of the roll call nodded to Deinze.
"Uh-huh!"
Di Enze answered, then took a light breath, raised his palm in the shape of a machete, and slammed it towards the plank! ”
"Smack!"
The block of wood broke in response!
"Di Enze passed the selection and was requisitioned as a miscellaneous soldier of the G10 Division of the Navy!" The Navy soldier shouted.
"Next, Mayaha!"
Then, another middle-aged man with a thin body walked up to the table with a wooden plank in his hand, and said a little nervously, "I want to challenge the plank!" ”
With that, the man, Mayaha, raised his fist and struck hard at the plank.
There was a loud bang as the fist hit the plank, and then Mayaha was heard clutching his palms and screaming.
"Oops......! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! ”
The navy soldier looked at him, shook his head helplessly, and said in a loud voice: "Next, Wright!" ”
As soon as the words fell, another person ran forward and continued the selection......
In this way, hundreds of people in the dojo took part in the test one by one.
However, by this time, only more than 40 people could successfully pass through to become miscellaneous soldiers, and even fewer were able to split bricks to become private soldiers, only six people.
And there was not even one who could be directly promoted to sergeant of the Navy Headquarters, and Hillman, who was sitting on the side, shook his head.
At this time, the sailor pronounced another name.
"Huo Xin!"
"Here!"
A man in his early twenties replied in a loud voice, and then walked forward quickly.
I saw that this man named Huo Xin had a long horse face, a relatively thin figure, and a little sparse hair, which looked like he was stunted.
Huo Xin first walked in front of the bricks and looked at them, and then shook his head.
Then he walked over to the block and looked at it again, still shaking his head.
Seeing such a strange behavior of his, the others present began to talk about it.
"Isn't it? Could it be that he wants to challenge the iron head?! ”
"He challenged the iron? No kidding, okay! I don't think he can even split a wooden block! ”
"That's it! looks like this bird and wants to run out and pretend to be forced! He also thinks too highly of himself! ”
The discussion in the audience was almost one-sided, and I felt that this Huo Xin must not even be a miscellaneous soldier.
Huo Xin ignored everyone's words, but slowly walked to the table placed on the iron block.
"I'm going to challenge you with iron!"
Huo Xin raised his head and said loudly.
This sentence was like thunder on the ground, and it instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience.
"Did I hear me right? He actually challenged the iron block?! ”
"I think he's just pretending to be big-headed! Let's see how he makes a fool of himself! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! He definitely can't! ”
The entire dojo immediately became full of people and noisy.
"You bastards shut up quietly!"
Hillman stood up and stopped the other people's voices, and then looked at Huo Xin on the field.
Obviously, he is also full of interest in this Huo Xin, who is going to challenge the iron block.
Everyone immediately fell silent, and their eyes were focused on Huo Xin's body in unison.
I saw that Huo Xin's expression was extremely calm, and he gently rested his palm on the surface of the iron plate.
At this time, I saw that his palm suddenly began to change, and in the end it turned into a saw knife.
"Devil Fruit Ability!"
Everyone present exclaimed in unison, and even Hillman showed a shocked expression.
"I'm the sawman who ate the fruit of the sawblade!" Huo Xin showed a light smile of contempt.
Then, the saw blade in his hand began to rotate rapidly, from slow to fast.
"Zziz ......!"
When Huo Xin's saw knife cut into the iron, there was a screeching sound, accompanied by sparks that burst out.
"Click!"
The cutting force of the iron saw blade was split in an instant.
Huo Xin...... Pass through the selection! Requisition for ...... Sergeant of the G10 Division of the Navy! ”
The sailor announced loudly with a little stammering, a lot of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
The audience was silent!
Almost everyone was not optimistic about him just now, until this moment he was completely slapped in the face! And it's definitely playing loud!
Bang bang ......!
"Great! This will finally recruit a powerful guy! And it's also a Devil Fruit ability! ”
"Looks like you bastards aren't all that bad! Hahaha! Hillman laughed happily.
Huo Xin didn't speak, just gave everyone in the audience a contemptuous look, and then walked down very chicly.
Pretend to be invisible!
At this time, there are not many people left who have not yet been selected.
Soon, the sailor read Helen's name.
"Nijosha!"
"I'm here!" Helen waved in response.
Fan Xiuzhe pulled Helen's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Helen, you can challenge that brick later." ”
