Chapter 2: Wang Kaikang

Great Han Empire, Honshu Province, Tiangong City, Shahe Junior Martial Arts Academy.

"All the students, run ten laps around the training ground as the beginning of today's morning training!"

On the training ground, the instructor with a meaty face ordered sternly.

"Hey!" replied loudly from a group of young-faced children in front of the instructor.

The instructor nodded and said loudly: "Very good! It's still the old practice, the top five will be rewarded, and the last five will be punished for five laps! Now, let's run!"

"Hey!" the children replied loudly, then scrambled to sprint.

This is the Han Empire, one of the largest countries in the Tianwu Continent, located in the center of the Tianwu Continent, and is the only superpower where all nations come to the dynasty.

In addition to the Han Empire, there are many large and small countries, among which more than ten countries such as Goryeo, Dongying, Prussia, and Tubo are second only to the Han Dynasty and are large countries, and under the big countries, there are also hundreds of small countries and countless vassal states.

The countries of the Tianwu Continent, in order to train warriors, all have their own policies to train warriors, and the Han Empire is no exception.

The Han Empire ruled the country by force, ruled the country by the army, and emphasized martial arts and military merits.

The samurai education in the Han Empire was compulsory education.

All young people who have reached the age of six are enrolled in the Elementary Martial Arts Academy for training. Within six years, those who have successfully promoted to the third-rate martial arts can enter the middle martial arts academy for training, those who fail or are injured or give up training in the middle of the process can be transferred to vocational and technical schools to learn skills in order to support themselves, and the rich and noble can also enter private martial arts academies to continue their training, but they are all expensive.

Those who enter the middle martial arts academy and break through the second-rate martial arts within three years can enter the higher martial arts academy to study, otherwise they can also transfer to vocational and technical schools, and they can also continue their martial arts practice in the army, or they can enter the society to seek employment.

Those who enter the Higher Martial Arts Academy, those who break through to the first-class martial arts within three years, can participate in the national unified entrance examination of the samurai academy, and those who have excellent grades can enter the samurai academy to practice and receive samurai education; those with average grades can join the army to continue martial arts training, and can also enter the society to seek employment.

Those who enter the samurai academy can break through the Black Iron Samurai within four years, and if they join the army, they can also be awarded the title of "third-class duke", and if they join the army, they can also be awarded the rank of eight-rank martial arts - 100 people!

Although the Han Empire is a superpower, it still has territorial disputes with many large powers, large and small battles are difficult to stop, and there are large and small demonic beasts waiting to be exterminated in the border.

The titles, military positions, and official positions of the Han Empire were all awarded by military merit.

And if you want to achieve military merits, or kill the enemy, or complete military tasks, or govern the country well, or benefit the people, or donate materials.

The titles of the Han Dynasty are divided into dukes, knights, barons, viscounts, earls, marquises, dukes, and princes, while the dukes are divided into five ranks, and the princes are not divided into ranks, and the other six lords are divided into three ranks.

The official positions and military positions of the Han Dynasty are equally divided into nine grades, and each rank is divided into two levels. Among them, there are many kinds of official positions, which are difficult to measure, while the military positions are relatively unified, in order: from the ninth rank of the military chief, from the ninth rank of the chief, from the eighth rank of the deputy hundred people, from the eighth rank of the hundred people, from the seventh rank of the deputy thousand people, from the seventh rank of the thousand people, from the sixth rank from the school captain, from the sixth rank of the school captain, from the fifth rank from the captain, from the fifth rank of the captain, from the fourth rank of the guerrilla general, from the fourth rank of the brigadier general, from the third rank of the lieutenant general, from the second rank of the general, from the second rank of the general, from the first rank of the marshal, from the first rank of the generalissimo these eighteen levels.

Those who are officials and have titles have privileges, and military merits can be exchanged for cultivation exercises, pills and treasures to assist in cultivation. Therefore, every Han citizen dreams of joining the army, making meritorious contributions, and honoring their ancestors!

However, the army only recruits samurai with the rank of third-class martial artist and above, and the higher the rank, the higher the initial position in the army, and a large amount of military merit and property as a reward, and the practice of martial arts can prolong life, so this strengthens the people's dream of hard work to practice martial arts.

A child like this who trains hard is a microcosm of the people of the Han Empire on the way to chasing the samurai.

I saw that among the children of more than 50 people, one child was left far behind. Although his figure is not thin, he obviously does not have the muscles of the children around him who practice martial arts. The other kid had already completed a lap, but he had already been left a quarter lap by the slowest kid.

After a long time, the other children had already finished running, and the child who was left behind had only completed seven laps.

Seeing the child, the instructor's eyes showed a look of disgust and helplessness.

He shouted, "For the last four of the run, go to train for five laps by yourself, and then go to breakfast." Wang Kaikang, if you are not in good health, don't practice!"

"Hey!" replied the four children who were left behind, and then ran quickly.

"Hah...... Yi!" Wang Kaikang also replied breathlessly.

The instructor glanced at Wang Kaikang helplessly and shook his head.

It is said that half a year ago, he contracted a lung disease, fell seriously ill, and was dying, but he miraculously survived. Although he kept his name, he was greatly injured, and he hadn't exercised for a long time, and his physical fitness was far inferior to that of ordinary children.

It stands to reason that such a person who is not born with a good body should have self-knowledge and quit the martial arts academy as soon as possible to go to a vocational and technical school, so as to obtain a survival craft, but this Wang Kaikang insisted on practicing martial arts and coming to the martial arts academy.

If this were the case for ordinary students, the college could refuse to accept it for physical reasons, but this Wang Kaikang is a descendant of martyrs. Although his father was only a second-rate warrior, ten years ago, in the battle against the Goryeo Kingdom, he was desperate for his life and loyal to the country, and was posthumously recognized as a martyr by the Han Empire and posthumously awarded the title of first-class public servant.

Although this rank of dukes is not a big title and cannot be hereditary, the identity of this martyr's family is really insignificant.

Therefore, the academy could only reluctantly accept Wang Kaikang, and also specially instructed the instructor to take good care of him and not to let him be injured.

How could such a problematic child be assigned to his own class? With this Wang Kaikang, not only did he have to talk extra energy to take special care of him, but he also had to lower the average score of the entire class during the assessment, so why was he so unlucky?

The instructor shook his head helplessly as he thought.
