Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 76 Gathering of the Newcomers_1


The speech was enough to make Elvis cough up three mouthfuls of blood, the intensity of the training along with the development of the battle situation was unthinkable, a stark contrast to the past when conscripting this term's students felt like stepmother's production.

As Feng Yi walked with narrowed eyes and an unchanging expression, Elvis had no choice but to walk into the logistics building with his head down…

Upon entering the classroom, Feng Yi clearly saw many students, like Elvis, with similar expressions on their faces. Yes, the transformation from an ordinary person to a soldier is a long process. Early conscription has cut the training period in half, undoubtedly accelerating the daily training quantity. Perhaps most people still weren't fully prepared for such a sudden change.

At 7 a.m., hundreds of logistics students walked out of the classroom in long lines. They were divided into groups of men and women and went to the Logistics Department. Each received a set of snow camouflage uniforms. This outfit was different from the standard training attire, specifically tailored as weighted training clothes for the new students.

This humane uniform had two advantages. First, the internal fibers could best protect the body. Second was its weighted design, which would enhance training effects for the novices during their daily routines. Only through continuous physical rebound and strengthening could the new recruits gain the qualifications to wear the truly lightweight training outfits.

As soon as they received the camo outfits, the repressed feelings of the students seemed to dissolve.

"Oh yeah! Awesome! It's real camo!"

"I'm a soldier now too. Look, does this suit look cool?"

The students who had changed into their camo uniforms could hardly suppress their excitement, and the crowd erupted with cheers…

"Quiet, quiet…" The head of education was evidently very familiar with this scene, and only gestured everyone to maintain silence. He murmured a few words to a nearby sergeant major and then ignored them.

Feng Yi, leaning against a corner of the wall, found the energetic display quite peculiar. Perhaps the sergeant major far away was indeed the training officer.

Once everyone had changed their attire and waited in formation to leave the Logistics Department, the procession moved along amid laughter and excitement. The friendly head of education even taught everyone a simple military song along the way, claiming that once they reached the parade ground, they should sing it out loud. It was important to show some spirit, even if there weren't many logistics trainees.

Feng Yi felt somewhat speechless about his current actions... but among the many students, many were excited, and with the meaningful glances of passerby military officers, the students felt even prouder.

A beautiful, mature woman wearing a white military uniform with a dark silk miniskirt gradually made her way over. Judging by the medals on her uniform, she was undoubtedly a space battleship commander. When the hormone-charged male novices saw the interest in the commander's eyes, they started whistling in her direction...

The woman was taken aback for a moment before shaking her head in resignation, and then broke into a saint-like soothing smile.

Caught off guard by the sudden change, the head of education's face turned pale. Damn it, novices are novices, not even as respectful as green recruits. Thankfully, she didn't hold it against the students; otherwise, she could easily get him dismissed for dereliction of duty with one complaint about his lack of military discipline.

This singing, marching group finally reached the closed training field after passing numerous barracks and educational buildings. Upon hearing the booming military song from the parade ground, the logistics students were daunted. Damn it, it wasn't that they didn't want to sing, they just couldn't compete with that chorus. The deafening roar was simply ear-piercing.

The head of education wiped his sweat, having not expected his team to be the last to arrive at the training field. When the military song stopped, the leaders of the various departments ran up to one particular person, saluting him: "Commanding officer, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment is all assembled. Stand by for your instructions."

The reply was also a standard military salute: "Stand by in place."

"Yes."

"Commanding officer, the Armored Airborne Brigade is all assembled, stand by for your instructions."

"Stand by in place."

"Commanding officer, the Communication and Intelligence Regiment is all assembled, stand by for your instructions."

"Commanding officer, the Motorized Infantry Division is all assembled, stand by for your instructions."

"Commanding officer, commanding officer, commanding officer…"

The officers strained their voices to give clear reports, with Feng Yi's unit only receiving their stand-by command at the very end. Just as they heard the order to rest, another booming voice ordered them to stand at attention.

"I am Grand, the commanding officer in charge of this training exercise. I am also a career military man who dreams of mecha. The Solar System is my homeland." Through a loudspeaker, Grand's strong voice was filled with immense pride.

Everyone present was certainly aware of the ace pilot, Grand. As the crowd started buzzing with discussions... as Grand continued his impassioned speech, the discussions eventually quieted down, replaced by a burning passion within.

"Harboring a longing for the cerulean starry skies; a desire to explore the profound universe; a fervent love for our homeland; that year, I put on my uniform. I don't know where your hometowns are, whether you share the same dream as I do, or why you're standing here. But one thing is clear: you are the pride of the Atlan Federation, the steadfast shield of our homeland, and warriors protecting our people."

As Grand's gaze swept over everyone in the field, "Honor has brought us together. For freedom and dreams, for everything we yearn for, in the coming days, I will fulfill my duties as a soldier and do my utmost to transform all of you into true combats who can stand their ground. During this time, you may curse me behind my back, hate me, and scorn me. But I will still withhold my praise because - I don't want my comrades to go into battle unprepared, to regret only after landing on the battlefield. Therefore, I will strictly discipline your conduct. Before that, I guess I owe you all an apology."

As soon as he finished speaking, Grand deeply bowed to everyone in the field, apologizing officially on behalf of himself.

My god! That's a bow from an ace pilot! At this moment, all the students were incredibly stirred up.

Under such an atmosphere, Grand's martial declaration undeniably elicited an enthusiastic response from the novices. In no time, the commanding officer's statement eventually came to an end. Grand nodded slightly in the direction of the president of the institute Weirbo, a dozen training officers, Zi Mou, and others responsible for managing everyday tasks of the students. Then he stepped down from the stage...

Next were Zi Mou and the disciplinary committee members who stepped forward. As the president of the student council, her appearance on stage had some special significance. The institute felt it was necessary for all students to be acquainted with the members of the disciplinary committee in order to reduce potential problems.

Even in such an occasion, Angelina, a mental ability user, changed her usual sickly sweet smile to a more solemn expression. Locating a person was not a difficult task for her. Quickly scanning the crowd, she spotted Feng Yi. Although her smile was no longer sickly sweet, the goddess-like smile that was full of affection still made Feng Yi shiver involuntarily.
