Shortly after being brought to their new living quarters, Yuan and Mei Xiaoyun said goodbye to each other before entering their new home.
Since there was nothing to do, they rested for the rest of the day.
The following day, Yuan and Mei Xiaoyun were led to the classroom, where all the new soldiers would spend the next several days learning about the military’s purpose.
"You know that monster who fought with a Captain during the recruitment? I heard that he received a special promotion to the rank of Corporal for his performance."
"Imagine starting out one right below an elite soldier... how envious."
"Not just that, but he doesn’t even have to participate in the training that we all must."
"Did you not see how he performed during the recruitment? A prodigy like that doesn’t need training and deserves whatever special treatment they throw at him!"
The soldiers in the room had been discussing Yuan long before he arrived. The moment he entered, however, their conversations ceased as they stared at him in silence, their gazes filled with awe and, in some cases, envy.
Yet despite their curiosity and desire to approach him, no one dared to do so, mainly because of the two elite soldiers standing nearby and Mei Xiaoyun’s presence.
"So that’s the General’s daughter... I wonder what their relationship is."
"I was told that it was her mother who found and recruited him."
"And who gave you that information?"
"My father... who is also a Captain."
Some time later, the class instructor entered the room and introduced himself, "I am Sergeant Mu, and I will be your instructor for the next several days."
’Xi Murong...’ Yuan thought to himself as he recognized the instructor’s face.
By now, he’d met pretty much everyone in the Demon Sealing Faction with one exception.
"Before we talk about the military’s purpose and your responsibilities as a soldier, let’s talk about the history of the military."
"The military was created 2,000 years ago by a certain individual."
Yuan raised an eyebrow when he heard this information.
’Huh? The military is only 2,000 years old? That can’t be right...’
After all, it seemed too young for such an advanced civilization.
"Does anyone know who created the military?" Sergeant Mu proceeded to question them.
Immediately, half of the room raised their hands.
When one of them was called upon, they answered, "Gaia!"
"???"
Yuan turned around to look at the one who’d just spoken with widen eyes.
’Gaia created the military?!’ he cried inwardly.
Yuan almost didn’t believe his ears. He could’ve never anticipated that, besides the system, Gaia would also be responsible for the creation of the military.
"Correct. Gaia created not only the system that shaped our society today, but also the military," Sergeant Mu said.
"Now then... who is Gaia?"
Yuan’s ears immediately perked at this question, as he’d been wondering about Gaia’s identity ever since he learned of their existence.
