With a single word from Charles, all the students present were shocked!
Charles’ proposition was undoubtedly tempting for everyone there, because if successful, the 10 slots would only erge from among these 100 individuals, giving them a 1% chance.
Conversely, if the competition followed the usual process, their chances of obtaining promotion slots were only 0.5‰!
The odds were extrely low.
Many of the students present felt tempted, but after the initial impulse, they cald down, because being chosen by Charles ant that if they decided to follow Charles on this risky mission, it would an voluntarily giving up, no! Voluntarily abandoning their other teammates in the camp.
That——
Many students were deeply conflicted.
Charles had undoubtedly given them a difficult dilemma.
Going would leave their morals and conscience subject to condemnation.
Not going might an they were giving up an excellent opportunity for attack, possibly even a chance to win or advance.
Inside the commander’s tent, silence reigned.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
No one spoke.
Everyone was lost in thought, unable to make a decision.
At this mont, Lou stepped forward, saying, "Commander, your idea is very good, but you haven’t considered the asures after failure. I believe your plan this ti is very aggressive and has so chance of failure, you should..."
Charles’ face quickly darkened: "Your na is Louise Carter, right?"
Lou was startled and said, "Yes. Commander, you know ?"
Charles showed a barely noticeable disdain but smiled as he spoke: "Of course, I know you, a genius from the Alliance Central High School, on par with Lance Yuri, second only to Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Shen Sheng among Physical Talent individuals. But do you know why you have never entered the ranks of the super elite Talent?"
Lou furrowed his brows; despite his carefree nature, he could detect a hint of contempt in the other’s tone. Yet, Lou did not imdiately oppose him but instead planned to speak reasonably.
Lou said, "Admittedly, my Talent is not as great as Jiaojiao’s, but I am always improving..."
Lou was interrupted by Charles before he could finish: "And so, you’ve always been second-rate."
Lou paused, furrowed his brows, and said, "Commander Charles, perhaps you don’t know the saying ’Beyond the sky there are higher skies, beyond the people there are better people,’ evaluating others without truly understanding them is extrely impolite..."
Charles raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "In front of , you haven’t reached that level. Louise Carter, you’ve remained obscure since entering college; instead of feeling ashad, you think you’re improving? Ridiculous! Where is your edge? Where is your confidence? Where is your ambition? So you’ve been content standing behind Chu Jiaojiao and others, satisfied with your position?"
Lou: "..."
Lou took a deep breath, decided to prioritize the bigger picture, and endeavored to appear more calm and composed, thus, he smiled and said, "Commander Charles, I don’t oppose your decision; I just hope our plan is more thorough and stable."
Charles interrupted again: "I didn’t call you here to hear nonsense. If you have constructive suggestions, offer them imdiately; if it’s nonsense, step back and don’t waste everyone’s ti."
Lou: "..."
For the first ti, Lou felt he lacked cultivation; if cultivated, he wouldn’t be angry. Moreover, who exactly is Charles Bark? Why doesn’t he recall hearing of him? If he were soone from the Nami Star circle, he should recognize him, but he has no impressions.
So, he must be from another Star System?
Lou frowned and said, "Commander, I have one suggestion, there’s a classmate of mine in the enemy camp, her na is Ji You? Her strength is unfathomable, and she has many tricks. Although I’ve perfected our plan, if we encounter her, so unexpected situations may arise. This is the primary consideration."
Charles raised an eyebrow at the words, asking, "Ji You? Never heard of her."
After speaking, Charles waved dismissively, saying, "Since you specifically ntioned her, during the upcoming battle, just keep an eye on her." With that, Charles said, "Does anyone else have suggestions?"
This gave Lou no further chance to speak.
Lou’s heart sank.
The opponent completely disregarded Ji You, so——
Lou loudly said, "Commander, I voluntarily withdraw from this plan."
Charles frowned imdiately: "Are you sure?"
Lou said, "I’m sure."
Charles lowered his eyes and said, "Are you sure you voluntarily deduct 50 points to withdraw from my plan? Let be clear; 1 point requires killing one enemy, 50 points are equal to killing 50 enemies. If you withdraw, you’ll naturally fall 50 points behind others. Your chance of advancent is imdiately halved. Tell now, do you still wish to proceed?"
He said this not only to Lou but to all present. The group Charles had gathered were the most likely in their camp to advance, and removing 50 points ant abandoning the competition.
Charles believed these individuals would seriously contemplate.
Then.
Lou nodded: "Yes, I am sure."
Charles, with a stern face, said, "Go on and withdraw."
Lou glanced at the others, then looked at Charles, and before leaving, he offered another earnest warning: "Commander, and all teammates, ensure you watch out for a person nad Ji You in the enemy camp; she is extrely dangerous..."
Charles said, "Lou, you should leave now."
...
Lou violently grabbed his hair; this was his way, soon after the competition began, he already had 50 points deducted, becoming the sole student within the entire contest with negative 50 points, now ranked number 10000.
That’s right.
Lou was dead last.
Given the situation, Lou was determined not to wallow in regret. Upon returning to his camp, the first thing he did was use his Squad Leader position to gather personnel, then divide them into several groups, one specifically dispatched to gather information about ’Ji You’.
Lou and Ji You were classmates, were comrades... but now, they were opponents. Therefore, Lou would employ all his skills to defeat her, as that was the greatest respect he could show her.
After arranging everything, Lou imdiately began developing his squad’s strength and expanding its size. The Commander led a team of elite soldiers into the enemy camp, aning their camp effectively beca leaderless. Lou believed that through his efforts, he could unite the camp mbers abandoned by the Commander, thus having the strength to compete and face Ji You decisively.
