Chapter 4 - The unexpected


The test has finally begun. Perhaps because Admiral Shen came to take the exam in person, everyone took it very seriously. Shen Jingheng observed Chu Yu's performance specially and found that he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Shen Jingheng's heart settled for a while, and he carefully observed the performance of the students in this class. He wanted to see if there was anyone particularly outstanding, so he could pay more attention to them and recruit them directly when they graduate.

It is very physically exhausting for students to test these items in one go. It tests not only the students' physical strength, but also their willpower.

Shen Jingheng stopped the stopwatch one by one, carefully recording the results. He put on a pair of glasses, through the lens can clearly show the student's numerical physical fitness.

"Fang Shiyan, height: 187cm, weight: 78.3kg, muscle strength: 8.75..."

"Gu Shaoqing, height: 185cm, weight: 76.9kg, muscle strength: 9.23..."

...

"Chu Yu, height: 175cm, weight: 53kg, muscle strength: ... 3.26."

Seeing this value, Shen Jingheng saw him being thrown several meters down by the person in front of him, and at this moment he was struggling to climb the climbing net obstacle in front of him. It was true that he was working hard, gritting his teeth, and fine beads of sweat leaked from the corner of his forehead.

The instructor followed Shen Jingheng's gaze and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's rare that he didn't cry today, and passed out right away today."

Shen Jingheng frowned: "Pass out?"

The instructor sighed: "Yes, Chu Yu's physical fitness is very poor. Strictly speaking, his development is not as good as a normal Omega. Once exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time, he will easily faint. This has happened several times before. But the higher-ups didn't want us to dissuade him. In fact, he is really not suitable for the army."

Shen Jingheng thought that it only took Chu Yu about one minute and thirty-three seconds to rush from downstairs to the training ground, which was a full minute faster than the entire class.

What is this notion?

This is equivalent to Chu Yu alone who can crawl out of the disgusting slime of those dirty bugs if they meet the Zerg.

Shen Jingheng did not respond positively to this answer, and continued to ask: "Has he been crying like this all the time?"

"...To be precise, he has already cried a lot today. Usually few teachers can hold him when he is crying. But the main reason is that we can't spend too much time on him. The training task is very difficult. It’s arduous, we must screen out a group of outstanding soldiers as soon as possible so that they can successfully join the 'reenlistment army'.”

Shen Jingheng nodded silently, his eyes focused on the test field again: "Not bad for the runner-ups of first and third places."

"It's Fang Shiyan and Gu Shaoqing." The instructor introduced, "Fang Shiyan has always been strict with himself. He has very good physical fitness and strong leadership skills. Gu Shaoqing has a very strong military strategy ability. There are several actual combat exercises. Some unexpected ideas. The two of them as a team will perform tasks very efficiently."

"Not bad, it's worth training. Continue to observe." Shen Jingheng nodded, "I hope that when they graduate, their muscle strength can reach 10.0."

"...I hope so." The instructor twitched, Admiral, not everyone is as perfect as you, okay!

The test lasted all afternoon, and the students' physical strength was almost exhausted, and the time to test their willpower was in the final part of training.

Most people are crawling forward with gritted teeth. Not only are many obstacles set up on the way forward, but the instructor will also be using a special marker gun to simulate shooting. The fewer the shot marks, the higher the score.

This item was supposed to be used by the instructor, but Shen Jingheng also took the marker gun as well and aimed it at the crawling students.

Shen Jingheng used the scope to aim at the target, saw several targets that were advancing crazily, and did not hesitate to press the trigger——

All shot.

In an instant, a group of creeping "small mounds" suddenly stopped, and they realized that they had been exposed.

Shen Jingheng continued to search the "small mound", and shot one when he saw one, until the end of the whole journey, the first person to reach the end was like a sieve.

Shen Jingheng lowered the gun and looked at his own results——

Almost everyone stood in front of him in disgrace, and there were more than 20 'bullet marks' on their clothes. If this were on the battlefield, they would have already died.

Shen Jingheng carefully watched where they were shot, walked to the first person to reach the finish line, and said lightly: "You, already failed in your grades, you are out."

The man was slightly startled: "Why?"

Shen Jingheng frowned: "Did you report before speaking?"

"……report!"

"Speak."

"I don't understand why I failed in my grades. Please give instructions, sir. The report is complete."

Shen Jingheng directly gave the order: "You, come out."

The man hesitated and took a step forward.

"Turn back."

The man turned back, facing all the students.

Shen Jingheng pointed to the bullet marks on his body and said: "Three shots in the face and five shots in the chest. If you are in actual combat, you are already dead. Crawling forward, why would you get shots in the chest?" Shen Jingheng said again. "All those with bullet marks on their chests go out!"

For a while, everyone lowered their heads to look for the bullet marks on their bodies. Some people walked out in frustration, and some let out a sigh of relief.

More than half of the people came out. Less than half of the people were left standing scattered in the queue.

Shen Jingheng continued to issue instructions: "The people who were shot in the face, stand to the right."

The students asked people around to help them look at their faces, and finally a large number of people left the queue.

There were only five people left in the entire queue.

In addition to the person who was optimistic about the instructor just now, there was another unexpected person.

When everyone saw that person, the expressions on his face were quite brilliant.

They couldn't imagine that Chu Yu was actually one of those five people.

The instructor didn't expect Chu Yu to actually insist on crawling forward.

But then, they discovered something more surprising--

Chu Yu's body was clean, without any bullet marks.

Fang Shiyan gently rubbed a bullet mark on his back, Gu Shaoqing two, and the others also rubbed a little, but only Chu Yu did not have a bullet mark on his body.

The instructor frowned and walked up and asked, "Chu Yu, have you just taken the test?"

Obviously it is unbelieving. People in the entire SCY-II galaxy know that Shen Jingheng's gun can't miss.

Chu Yu nodded and blinked: "Reporting to sir, I participated."

Everyone had an expression of disbelief, nobody would believe this fact, which was too surprising and too sudden.

Shen Jingheng said, "I didn't see him in my sight just now." Then he looked at Chu Yu, "How did you do it?"

Chu Yu gave him a timid look: "...I won't tell you."

"I'm asking you something, you must answer truthfully." Shen Jingheng directly released a terrifying pressure, and even some of the Alphas present could not resist the sudden pressure.

It is absolutely impossible to escape his sight and crawl on the ground. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to do this in the entire SCY-II galaxy.

How did Chu Yu escape his sight?

However, Chu Yu was hesitating, but didn't say anything.

Shen Jingheng stepped forward, the momentum was so big that people could not breathe, and Chu Yu began having difficulty in breathing, so he had to say, "Invisible..."

Shen Jingheng seemed to have heard the most nonsense lie in the galaxy.

"Are you kidding me?" Shen Jingheng said with a gloomy face, "Invisible?"

Chu Yu stared at Shen Jingheng angrily, and said, "Anyways, I have a way to hide."

Shen Jingheng frowned. Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, he calmed down and ordered, "Now do it for me."

"Just do it, hmm."

Chu Yu stood in front of Shen Jingheng and closed his eyes. Suddenly, his whole body was slowly wiped out by the surrounding environment, and finally disappeared where he was no longer visible.

Everyone looked at the current situation as if they were watching a conjure.

"Trust me?" Chu Yu snorted coldly, but nobody can see him.

Shen Jingheng can judge by his voice, he is right in front of him.

In fact, the shock in his heart is the same as the classmates onlookers next to him.

Chu Yu has special abilities. He may be the first person in the galaxy to have special abilities. He is not a so-called waste.

Then why didn't he show it until today?

This is a very important matter. He must report to the Marshal, and this matter must also be reported to the Military Strategic Research Institute. This shows that there are people who can use special abilities among the Protoss, and maybe they have a bargaining chip against the Zerg. How could this not be exciting?

And this bargaining chip has been hidden in the school as rubbish, and it does not even seem to feel how special he is, and he is completely unaware of the impact of this incident on the SCY-II galaxy.

"Wait, see me later alone." Shen Jingheng calmed down and ordered.

Chu Yu suddenly appeared on the spot, staring with a pair of big bronze eyes: "I don't want to!"

"You have no right to refuse." Shen Jingheng dismissed it without hesitation. "You forgot to say 'Reporting to Chief'."

Chu Yu cried out, "I don't want to wuwuwuwu... You guys must want to take me to a dark room to study me... I don't want to, I don't want to!!"

This time, Shen Jingheng was stunned.

Combined with what he said, Shen Jingheng seemed to guess why Chu Yu was a waste.

Chu Yu has been trying to hide it for so long, but today he can't resist being exposed under his strong compulsion. Someone behind the scenes must have told him to stay concealed, so he can easily escape the instructor's eyes by relying on his background. But he failed to escape the oppression of this devil.

And the instructor who made this decision didn't dare to punish Chu Yu in depth and discovered this secret...only one person could be.

Marshal Chu.

Shen Jingheng thought about Marshal Chu’s intentions again, and his heart suddenly became tense. He immediately gave a solemn order to the students who were still in shock: “I don’t want anyone to leak any news about what you saw today. Anyone who is caught talking about it will be dealt with in accordance with the most serious military law."

【The author has something to say: Chu Yu: I'm not a good-for-nothing, but I'm a crybaby, hehe

Shen Jingheng: My wife is the best. 】


(1) Cooking utensil that has a lot of tiny holes for big clumps of something to stay behind as water passes through.
(2) It says no bullets but I think it means that he keeps hitting that bullets can't be seen and thus can't miss.


t/l: I just found out the links don't really work (sorry about that) so I might fix it in the future or just leave it be. Do you guys prefer if it would be beside the said term or separate like now if ever I don't fix it? :p
