1 Chapter 1

"Wake up motherfucker! Today is the day !"

Sam slowly opened his eyes and looked at the big guy standing next to his bed, he was a giant wearing a blue and grey military suit, he had short hair, bushy eyebrows and sharp eyes.

"Hey bitch, why are you wearing your uniform?"

"Did you drink too much yesterday? Today is the day of the military examination!"

Suddenly Sam's eyes went from thin slits to extremely wide balls, he sat on his bed and grabbed his phone from his nightstand.

The light of the phone hurt his still tired eyes but he put up with the pain and looked at the date.

"Today is the... 17th?"

"That's right ! Get dressed we have 30 minutes to make it to the training ground !"

In less than 30 seconds Sam took out a similar suit as the one his friend was wearing from his closet, put it on and walked to his kitchen. He didn't even take the time to shower, picked and something to eat and rushed after his friend who had already left the apartment.

"Ed ! Wait for me !"

"No waiting, you run faster !"

Just like this the two teenagers ran through the busy streets as fast as they could while avoiding bumping into the pedestrians, most people when they saw their uniforms moved to the side.

"Run faster if you don't want to be fired before even getting hired turtle-Sam!"

"Shut the fuck up bull-Edward!"

Sam was tall and thin, he was 187 centimeters and had a very athletic body that he obviously trained a lot.

On the other hand his friend Edward was buff and a lot taller ! He was 208 centimeters but he didn't train his body, he was naturally stronger than most people.

'How can he run this fast while carrying his 140 kilograms body ?!'

After running for awhile Sam caught up to Edward but he was already out of breath while the big man was still breathing comfortably.

"Hahah you try too hard to match me, you should know I'm not someone you can compete with !"

Edward said loudly while puffing his chest and throwing smug looks at Sam.

"Humph!"

He didn't have anything to answer to his friend, he knew he was joking but at the same time everything he said was true. They had known each other for more than 10 years now and Sam hadn't met anyone as strong as him, he was a naturally born fighter.

PANT PANT!

After running for twenty minutes at Sam's full speed the duo reached the training ground where a few thousand men and women wearing the same blue and grey suit as them were standing in an orderly fashion.

Sam was breathing hard trying to catch his breath while Edward just took his spot in the crowd and stood there silently, except a few beads of sweat and a slightly faster breathing rhythm than normal he looked completely fine.

"You fucking monster, are you sure you're human ?"

"Hahah I'm almost sure, not a 100 percent tho."

"Your dad must be an Alien, they say that human and alien breed don't look different from normal humans."

"Humph! I doubt it, my mom said that my dad was a soldier of the human army."

"Then maybe your grandpa."

"Dude, I'm..."

When Edward was about to retort a group of 7 men walked out of the building facing the big crowd and at that time the deafening sound of thousands of boots hitting the ground at the same time resounded. Everyone present took a salute pose for the small group.

"Silence ! General Wade is here !"

One of the youngest men yelled, his voice was so strong it made everyone's eardrums vibrate. That feeling was the same as being next to the speakers in a concert but this man wasn't holding a microphone and there were no speakers.

Edward poked Sam from the side with his elbow and whispered

"This man is Major Dean, he's a 6th grade evolver and he's amongst the 10 strongest people on planet Moryl."

Sam was surprised by what he heard, a month ago he was a normal high schooler and today he was meeting such strong people ?

Finally after waiting some time for the crowd to quite down the old man in the middle of the group of 7 opened his mouth.

"Welcome kids, I'm happy this year's batch have so many brave youngsters who are willing to fight for humanity ! I know the reason most of you are here for but I won't blame you, who doesn't want to live longer ? However you must keep in mind that this is the army and you're risking your life everyday, the rewards you're expecting come at the price of great risks ! If you're not scared, follow me."

The old man turned around and started walking towards a huge metallic platform protruding out of the ground a few tens of meters away from there, the sound of thousands of disciplined people walking with the same rhythm was weirdly satisfying. Instead of thousands of people it felt like one single giant was walking.

"What do you think the exam will be ?"

Edward once again poked Sam and asked.

"Who knows, Most people here have trained more than us tho, so all I know is that it won't be easy to finish in the top 100."

"You're aiming for the elite corps right away?"

Edward looked at Sam surprised.

"Hmm, I don't want to lose any time."

"Hahah you're funny kid, you're obviously a newbie and yet you're aiming for the elite corps? How many people here do you think are newbies?"

Sam turned around and looked at the man talking to him, he had a bushy beard and no hair, compared to Sam and Edward who were only 17 years old he was obviously at least ten years older.

"I don't know, half?"

"Hahah right, about 50 percent are new and the rest have been here for a year at least already, do you think you can get a spot in the elite corps when these people have trained for years longer than you ?"

"Yeah, I'm confident."

Sam answered and kept walking, he believed it was fine to be arrogant as your mental state would be more inclined towards winning, going in with a pessimistic mindset was a sign that you would be defeated !

"Hmph, you can be arrogant for now but it won't last. If the examination this year is as hard as the one of last year then you won't even last 3 hours."

"How many times have you been through this examination? You look quite uhm... old?"

Sam looked teasingly at the guy and said, when he heard that the man's complexion turned from normal to pale in a second !

"Hmph! Let's bet, if you can get into the elite corps I'll forfeit my yearly salary to you, if you can't however... I want you to resign."

'Yearly salary...! That's around 25 000 GD (Galactic Dollars)!'

Sam's eyes started shining and Edward looked at him with jealousy, if he had 25 000 GD he would be able to do so much !

"I accept, what's your name ? I'll come and meet you when I'm in the elite corps."

"Hmph, keep dreaming. My name is Franklin, but I'm also called the Educator. Because I'm famous for teaching some manners to the newbies."

"Pfft!"

Sam and Edward couldn't help but hold back their laugh and thought at the same time.

'Such an embarrassing nickname...'

"I'm Sam, if I lose the bet I'll resign on my own. No need to look for me."
