Military Academy: Special Forces System - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: System Activated, the Journey of the King of Soldiers

Translator: Li_Voon_Loke

“Xiao Rui, once you enter the Military Academy, you are a soldier. The responsibilities and missions you shoulder will also change. From now on, no matter when or where you are, do not forget your identity…”

On the wide, tarred road, Zhao Rui’s father instructed him earnestly.

Without waiting for Zhao Rui to speak, Zhao Rui’s mother patted her husband’s shoulder and said, “Old Zhao, that’s enough. Our son is already grown up, he knows everything that he should know.”

“Hey, you old woman, what I’m telling our son is what a soldier should pay attention to in case he makes a mistake in the future.”

Just as Mother Zhao was about to argue with Old Zhao, she was stopped by Zhao Rui who was dragging his suitcase.

“Alright, Dad, Mom.”

As he said this, Zhao Rui stopped and turned to look at his parents who had grey hair. Back then, they were also soldiers in the army, but time did not show them mercy…

Zhao Rui said seriously, “Don’t worry. Being a soldier has always been my dream. I will remember what you have told me. After four years, I will definitely make something of myself and not let you down.”

Looking at Zhao Rui’s determined gaze, the two of them nodded their heads in relief.

Not far away, the Military Academy’s gate slowly opened. Bright red words that were carved on the stone tablet at the gate read Odin Military Academy

The moment he saw these words, Zhao Rui felt his blood rushing.

Odin Military Academy was one of the most famous military academies in the world. It had produced countless famous generals and legends in its long history of over two hundred years.

Zhao Rui’s goal for entering this military academy was very clear. He wanted to be the strongest among the soldiers — to become the King of Soldiers!

Although the idea was a little ridiculous, there would always be someone who wanted to be the strongest. Why couldn’t it be him?

A group of people soon arrived at the school gate. Some of the new students’ parents accompanied their children into the school to help them carry their luggage. Meanwhile, Zhao Rui turned around at the school gate to say goodbye to his parents.

“Let’s part ways here. I’ll go in by myself.”

Upon hearing this, Mother Zhao naturally did not agree, but Old Zhao stopped her in time.

“Okay, son, go in quickly!”

As he said this, Old Zhao glanced at Mother Zhao, “You just said that your son understands everything he needs to. Why have you become so soft-hearted right at the start?”

A military academy was a military unit. Only those who followed discipline and could endure hardships could become qualified soldiers.

On the first day of school, if he were to let his parents bring his luggage into the dormitory, he would already fail at the first step.

“Alright, alright, you old geezer. Look at you, the passion of being the King of Soldiers when you were young has not subsided yet.”

Zhao Rui smiled helplessly, “Alright, Mom and dad, I’m leaving now. Take care of yourselves.”

After saying that, he turned around and dragged his luggage, walking forward without looking back.

…

It was especially lively on campus today.

There were senior students with military ranks and badges on their shoulders, as well as freshmen in casual clothes who were dragging their heavy luggages.

Just as Zhao Rui entered the campus, a tall, blonde female student came up to him.

“Excuse me, are you also a new student?”

“Yes, I am. I am Zhao Rui, majoring in the armored unit.”

Zhao Rui answered subconsciously. Then, he looked at the female student and realized that she was dressed in military uniform with a senior student’s armband on her shoulder. So, why did she use the word “also”?

“Oh?”

The female student’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “We’re in the same major, junior. I’m your senior, my name is Elena.”

After saying that, Elena flipped her thumb and pointed at two nearby freshmen who were with their parents.

“There are two more recruits over there. Wait here for a moment, I’ll call them over. I’ll bring you to the registration office to register later.”

“Okay, senior. Thank you.”

Zhao Rui nodded and stood at his original spot to wait.

Just as the senior turned around and walked away, a strange yet familiar synthetic voice was heard in Zhao Rui’s mind.

“Hum —— the King of Soldiers’ training system has been activated!”

“Huh? ?”

Zhao Rui looked around, thinking that someone’s phone had the speaker on.

“Who is speaking?”

Zhao Rui looked around and saw nothing, so he frowned and talked to himself.

The synthetic voice sounded as if it had heard Zhao Rui’s question. This time, a holographic screen appeared in front of Zhao Rui:

“Name: Zhao Rui

Strength: 58kg

Speed: 9.3 m/s

Stamina: relatively weak

Reaction: average

Endurance: poor

Ability to withstand blows: poor

Skills: English (proficient) , Chinese (elementary)

Overall evaluation: Imbecile.”

“…”

Zhao Rui was stunned for a moment, then he fell into a short period of depression.

Putting aside how the system appeared, the personal attributes evaluation almost made Zhao Rui, who had the dream of becoming the King of Soldiers, collapse.

He was born into a family of soldiers, and his parents had made outstanding military achievements.

How could he be considered an imbecile? ? ? !

However, no matter how strong his parents were, he was still a new student who had just entered a world-class Military Academy.

The road to becoming the King of Soldiers was still very long.

Zhao Rui had often read about such a system in novels. When he was young, he had even focused on reading a few of these novels.

However, he did not expect that today, he would turn from a bystander to someone who actually experienced it.

This made Zhao Rui both excited and confused. He didn’t know whether this thing would bring him disaster or fortune.

“Zhao Rui, this way. Follow me.”

Before Zhao Rui could study the system’s mysteries, senior student Elena had already waved at Zhao Rui and gestured for him to follow her.

“Okay.”

Zhao Rui pulled his suitcase and quickly followed her.

“Aiya, the girls in this military academy are really beautiful. Xiao Fei, develop yourself well here and try to find a nice girl for mom!”

“Yes, yes, one could say there are definitely good birds in a big forest!”

…

Behind Elena, a few parents of the new students kept on “complimenting” her.

These parents’ words made the atmosphere more and more awkward, but Zhao Rui didn’t care.

He was still focused on the system that he had just obtained.

“System, what functions do you have?”

Zhao Rui tried to communicate with the system in his mind.

“The King of Soldiers’ training system can evaluate the host’s personal attributes in real time. You can enter the King of Soldiers’ training space in your dream and receive a threefold increase in the training effect.”

“Increase the effect by three times?”

Zhao Rui covered up his surprise and continued to follow his senior while communicating with the system, “In other words, for example, if I do ten push-ups, I can get the effect of thirty push-ups?”

“Yes.”

“That’s right.”

Zhao Rui nodded secretly, but then he thought of something, “But what about the side effects? For example, will the pain in the muscles after training also increase?”

“No.”

“Hiss –”

Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows.

If the side effects after training were the same as normal training, but the effects could increase by a few times, then this system would be very practical.

This way, not only could he improve his physical fitness several times faster than other students, other aspects of training could also be improved in the King of Soldiers’ training space.

For example: archery, operating heavy machinery, mastering combat equipment, and even learning could be carried out there.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rui raised his head to look at the campus building in front of him, there was a hint of determination and ambition in his eyes.

With this system, his path to become the King of Soldiers was even easier..
