Volume 1 Gamma Empire Chapter 5 Talent (2)
"The next batch, Carl, Arthur, Sophia, Gru, Harry, come in!"
"It's your turn!" Silas nodded to the three children and told them to follow the staff's instructions.
"Carl! Whatever happens, believe in yourself! Unexpectedly, when Carl was about to enter the room, Silas, like the old dean, suddenly reminded him loudly.
Carl glanced back at Silas and touched his head in confusion, really not understanding why the old dean and Celes had to give him an extra reminder.
"What are you doing! Come in yet! Seeing that several other people had entered, but Carl was still at the door, the soldiers in the room were impatiently urging.
Karl pursed his lips disdainfully, but the soldiers here were all fierce, so he could only say in his heart: Those who know the times are handsome, and honestly come to Arthur and Sophia to stand beside them.
"Carl, have you noticed, the arms of the people in this room are embroidered with shield patterns!" Arthur tilted his head and reminded softly.
Karl nodded silently, the group of Imperial Shield soldiers he met today was obviously fundamentally different from the army in charge of security in Rum Town on weekdays.
In addition to the majestic momentum of each of them, Karl felt in his heart that there was a very unacceptable smell in this group of people......
What exactly is the smell? Carl frowned, but couldn't find an adjective.
"Next, after hearing my order, each of you will put your hands on the instrument in front of you, and you will not let go without my order!" An officer sitting next to him shouted sharply.
This instrument for testing the qualifications of the war spirit has a very strange appearance, and in front of Carl and them is a flat plate with palm traces drawn.
After the flat circuit was connected, it was a transparent ball made of crystal, and inside it was an unknown mist of gas, constantly circling and twisting in it.
"Let's go!" Before Karl could take a closer look at the test instrument, the officer's order had already been issued.
Carl reacted the fastest, and as soon as he finished speaking, he had already placed his right hand firmly on the machine in front of him. The rest of them did the same, placing their right hands on the instrument in front of them.
In just a few breaths, the reaction of the instruments in front of everyone was different.
The strangers Gru and Harry, who entered with Karl, were motionless in front of them, still shrouded in fog.
Sophia in the middle, after putting her hand up, the fog of the instrument in front of her gradually opened, and a golden giant shield was displayed together in golden light.
The most exaggerated are Carl and Arthur, since their right hands were placed on a flat plate, two kinds of light, one gold and one red, bloomed throughout the room.
The officers who were originally sitting in their seats, as well as the soldiers standing around, all gathered around with excitement when they saw the light of the two instruments.
Because of the previous officer's order, Carl and the five of them kept their hands on the flat plate, and at this moment, the instrument in front of Carl and Arthur suddenly changed.
The golden light belonging to Karl slowly dissipated at this moment, and a golden long sword was vividly displayed in the instrument. Compared to Sophia's golden giant shield, this golden sword is undoubtedly more dazzling and powerful!
On the other hand, the dazzling red light of Carl's instrument lasted for a while, and suddenly trembled, and just as it was about to transform into a specific shape like Arthur's golden light, it gradually dimmed!
"How so!" Carl suddenly panicked, and after staying here for a while, he naturally understood that the results of the so-called Battle Spirit Warrior Qualification Test were related to the instrument in front of him.
The so-called unqualified people, just like the current Gru and Harry, have no reaction from the instruments in front of them...... And the qualified personnel, like Arthur and Sophia, must have conjured up specific objects in the instrument.
But Carl himself, the instrument in front of him behaved unusually differently. At first, it emitted a dazzling red light, which under normal circumstances should have transformed into a concrete object, but now it is constantly decaying, and now it is almost dim......
The officer on the side was also confused at the moment, he had been in the army for many years, and he had performed this battle spirit warrior qualification test no less than dozens of times, and he had never encountered a situation similar to Carl.
However, the instrument in front of Carl seemed to be deliberately trying to hit Carl, and the original dazzling red light continued to decay, and in the end, it was finally completely extinguished and turned back to its original fog form......
Carl looked at the instrument in front of him with a face like dust, and at this time, Arthur and Sophia's golden instrument was particularly dazzling.
Arthur and Sophia, who were on the side, looked at Carl with embarrassed faces and wanted to say comfort, but Carl's ugly face made the two of them unable to speak at all.
Sighing, the officer took a deep look at Karl, who was as earthy as he faced, and the instrument that had no reaction, and said:
"You and this little girl stay, and everyone else goes out!" The officer pointed to Arthur and Sophia and began to order the others to carry out the order.
Karl came to his senses at this time, looked at his right hand, and picked it up from the flat plate as if he had lost his soul.
Glancing back at Arthur and Sophia, the eyes of the three collided with each other, and Carl suddenly felt a huge sense of loss in his heart.
From this moment on, from childhood to adulthood, the three people who have never been separated, are going to really part ways?
Feeling the oppression of the soldiers around him, Carl hung his head helplessly and walked out with Gru and Harry.
As soon as he walked out of the room, two soldiers came up, half-pushing and half-bucking Karl and the two men to the side, and then one of them had a form in his hand.
"Sign your names and report north of Rumtown tomorrow! Don't waste time! The soldiers on the side kept urging.
The two men immediately panicked and filled in their names at the bottom of the form, and Karl glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and turned his gaze to the top of the form.
Although the children in the orphanage did not receive a complete education, Silas and the old dean also taught Carl to read and write in private.
"Obedience to military service for 3 years."
"The class is at its mercy."
"Reinstatement of civilian status after service."
"Violators hunt and kill."
Carl read it hastily, could only make out these contents, and sighed lightly, the situation was like this, and he could only sign his name on this form.
