Mars, Avalon.

Since the Covenant implemented the protective migration policy of the earth, as the nearest Mars, it has become the largest human settlement planet in the solar system, and as the capital and the earliest city established on Mars, Avalon has naturally become the largest city in the whole solar system, and it is extremely prosperous.

But the whole city of Avalon today seems a little restless.

And all this stems from the official war mobilization order issued not long ago...... And the source is naturally because of the invitation of the Nova Empire.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class at Avalon First High School, a large number of graduating students rushed out of the classroom, ready to go to the announcement center to check their grades, because it was related to their assignment.

This assignment does not refer to the assignment of work, but to the assignment of the branches of the armed forces...... Well, in fact, it can also be regarded as a work assignment,

Although the Star Alliance does not officially implement compulsory military service, because of the citizenship system, basically more than 80% of graduates will choose to join the military every year to obtain citizenship, because there is no doubt that this is the fastest way to improve the social status of the Star Alliance, and only a small number of people will choose the civilian rice worm style life (in fact, I really want to be a rice worm (???). ﹃??) ）。 Of course, there is another important reason, that is, the threshold for joining the army is very low now...... As long as you have no criminal record and no bad habits, you can basically be admitted to the army, and as for physical problems, a shot of primary genetic medicine provided by the military can solve all problems.

However, it is easy to enter the army, and it is not so simple to be assigned to a good unit and class.

There is no doubt that, as in the old days, the more senior the service, the higher the requirements for the personal qualities of the soldiers, such as the pilots of warships and warplanes...... Although there are now genetic drugs, the most important thing for ordinary genetic drugs is to improve people's physical fitness, unless it is a high-level genetic medicine and has been used since childhood, otherwise there will not be much improvement in intelligence, at most it is to improve some memory and reaction ability, which is very helpful for learning some ordinary knowledge, but for subjects such as mathematics, which pay attention to logical thinking, the help is relatively limited, and these things are one of the most needed abilities for senior combat pilots.

And some special troops need some special talents to be able to join...... For example, the Ghost Forces.

Therefore, the vast majority of people who join the army for military service can only become an ordinary fifty yuan...... Ahem, it's a Marine...... Even if it is a marine, there is a difference, the more high-quality soldiers are, the more they can be assigned to a good service point, such as being able to go to Alfheim to talk about ideals and life with a beautiful elf lady, and the worse one may be sent to an extremely harsh place like Muspelheim or Jotunheim to guard the mines. Of course, the latter is generally the place where the people at the bottom of the society go after joining the army, and if it is a college graduate, it is impossible to be assigned to that kind of place.

"Johnny, I'm 97 points, I can go to Starship School! That's great! A young couple stands in front of a look-up machine, and a white girl with blond hair and blue eyes looks at the composite scores that pop up on the screen...... Carmen: 97%, shouted excitedly, but the white boy named Johnny next to her laughed a little reluctantly, because although he didn't check, he knew very well that his score couldn't be very high, and he would definitely not go to Starship School, which meant that he would definitely be separated from his beloved girl.

"Congratulations! Carmen! At that moment, a white boy popped out of the side and congratulated the girl, and then said to Johnny, "Hey, Johnny, don't be stunned, let's see your results." ”

Then, without waiting for Johnny to answer, the boy took care of himself and operated on the machine, and soon a name and score popped up - Johnny Rego: 35%.

"Oh my God, everyone! 35 points? Is there a lower score for the whole school? Seeing the numbers popping up on the screen, the boy couldn't help but laugh gloatingly, and his words also caused bursts of snickering from the surrounding crowd, although the Star Alliance has been established for a short time, and the first college of Avalon has not been established for a long time, but it is indeed an officially recognized first-class university, and the total score of 35 points in the cultural category of the final exam is indeed a bit excessive.

"Carl !!!" In the face of the ridicule around him, Johnny blushed and gritted his teeth and shouted the boy's name...... If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely beat up his bad friend.

"Ahem...... Well, I'm sorry! Seeing that his friend was really angry, Karl coughed twice and quickly apologized, "But seriously, this score is really too low, the starship school is definitely impossible, you can only go to the mobile unit, and even if it is a mobile unit, it is estimated that it will not be able to go to the mecha unit or the armored unit, it can basically only be the Marine Corps, the official war mobilization order has just been issued, and the Marine Corps is really not an ideal place to go." ”

"Who said that? I think if you're a man, you should go to the Marine Corps! The face-to-face battle with the enemy is the romance of a real man, and each Marine still has 10 places for mechanical soldiers, so it's not so easy to die! Before Johnny could reply, someone spoke up.

Johnny and the others heard the sound, but it was two Asian boys and a white girl walking towards them together.

"Hi, Wang Lei, Liu Peiqiang, how did you do in the exam?" Seeing the two, the girl Carmen took the initiative to greet them, and as for the girls among them, she directly ignored them.

"I'm so-so with 75 points, and I'm definitely going to the mobile unit like Johnny, but Pei Qiang is amazing, 99 points are as stable as Carmen and you are in starship school, as for Tice, needless to say, she is the same as Carl is the master of the ghost military academy." Wang Lei replied that Tis was the girl among them, but after Tis came, all his attention was on Johnny, and his eyes were full of affection...... It's no wonder that Carmen ignores her when she says hello, and the two are rivals in love.

And after listening to Wang Lei's words, Johnny, who was already very uncomfortable, was even more uncomfortable, among a group of friends, his grades were the worst, the others either went to the Starship School or the Ghost Military Academy, and even Wang Lei, who also went to the mobile troops, eighty percent also went to the mecha unit or armored unit, and only he could only go to the Marine Corps miserably.

"Speaking of which, have you read the speech of the Field Marshal of Sheffield? I didn't expect that the opponent we had to face on the battlefield first was actually a bug! It's unbelievable. Tice began.

"It's really a little unbelievable, but we can't go to the battlefield so quickly, after all, it's only been a few years since the last big conscription, and the army is very well-manned, if there are no accidents, we graduates will have to go through at least half a year of military training before they can be sent to the front line, so don't worry too much." Karl shrugged.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like you're doing well?" Just as the young people were chatting, a middle-aged man walked over.

"Hello, Mr. John McTavish!" When they saw the comer, everyone greeted each other, and the other party was their teacher, a very kind middle-aged Englishman.

"Everyone's grades are good, but I'll have to go to the Marine Corps!" Johnny said sullenly.

"Don't be discouraged, Johnny, it's not as bad as you think, and you'll have something special to gain by then!" Seeing this, McTavish encouraged: "You have to believe in your own abilities! ”

"Yes, sir!" Johnny laughed.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, have some fun at the graduation dance party in the evening, tomorrow you should go to the military headquarters to report, and the day after tomorrow you will go your separate ways, in the future, you may be separated by I don't know how many light years, it will be difficult to meet, cherish this last time!" After McTavish finished speaking, he said goodbye to a few young men.

After chatting a few words, Wang Lei and Liu Peiqiang also left first, leaving only Johnny and the other four.

"Mr. McTavish is right, you have to get the timing right, whether it's Carmen or Tish!" Carl winked at his friend Johnny, and waited for Johnny to reply.

Looking at Carmen who was smiling and silent beside him, and Tis looking at him affectionately, Johnny couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and finally showed Tice an apologetic smile, and then pulled Carmen away.
