Chapter 57 Rising Star
"Hey, Lei, Qiye, do you see any bruises on Instructor Yuan's face...?"
The sharp-eyed Baili Pangpang sensed something was off as soon as Yuan Gang came out. Commander Yuan, who usually had the image of a tough soldier, seemed to be wearing makeup today.
"Don't say it, it's true."
"However... it seems that his face wasn't injured when we saw him yesterday."
Yuan Gang: You brats, you've really shown off! You got beaten up, are you satisfied now?
He cleared his throat and continued.
"Some bad things happened during the 'holiday'!"
"The training camp was attacked."
I'm so glad you're all still alive!
He scanned the crowd with his tiger-like eyes.
"This will be the norm from the moment you decide to join the Night's Watch."
You will be bound to these dangers for the rest of your lives!
"Tell me... are you scared?!"
"Not afraid!"
The recruits answered in unison.
Seeing this, Yuan Gang nodded in satisfaction and continued.
"Considering that many of you are unfamiliar with the Night's Watch's medal system, I'll take this opportunity to explain it to you..."
He pointed to the medals hanging on his chest as he explained to the new recruits.
The crowd below stared, somewhat mesmerized, at the gleaming medals. Just how many arduous battles had Commander Yuan endured to deserve such accolades...?
"Now, I will announce the first person to receive the medal."
"Li Jie, when the attack came, went forward alone and intercepted three missiles outside the camp. Later, in the battle with the 'Ancient God Church', he severely injured Han Shaoyun, the thirteenth seat of the [Believers], destroyed the physical body of the 'Medusa' god's agent [Snake Woman], and killed Lü Liang, the sixteenth seat of the [Believers]."
"At this point, you may not be very familiar with the 'Ancient God Church' organization. That's okay, we will talk about it in the following lessons."
He spoke solemnly, enunciating each word clearly.
"What you need to know is that Li Jie single-handedly severely injured a 'Sea' Realm cultivator, killed a peak 'River' Realm cultivator, and a 'Pool' Realm divine agent."
"This achievement is so brilliant that it can be said to be unprecedented and will never be repeated."
As soon as Yuan Gang finished speaking, a commotion erupted in the room.
"Can Li Jie injure the 'Sea' Realm?"
"Wait a minute, could the instructor have made a mistake...?"
Is the 'Church of the Ancient Gods' very powerful?
"This little white-haired creature is terrifying!"
"......"
Looking at the new recruits whispering to each other, Yuan Gang took a deep breath.
He hadn't expected the Commander-in-Chief to go to such lengths for Li Jie...
"quiet!"
"In conclusion, Li Jie is hereby awarded the 'Star' Medal."
"Furthermore, because Li Jie achieved this remarkable feat during recruit training, after discussion among the Night Watch's leadership, it was decided to award Li Jie an additional..."
'Rising Star' Medal!
Now, not only the new recruits, but even the instructors were a little confused.
Nova Medal?
According to Yuan Gang's statement, the Night Watch's medal system should only have four types of medals: 'Spark', 'Starlight', 'Starry Sky', and 'Sea of Stars'.
When did this medal suddenly appear?
Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, Yuan Gang spoke up to explain.
"The 'New Star' medal was the product of a collective meeting of the Night's Watch's top brass last night, so it's normal for everyone to have questions."
"Simply put, this medal is specially set up for new recruits who make outstanding contributions during basic training."
"The Nova Medal not only represents honor, but it also has an important function."
"That means within a 'reasonable' range, you can use it to exchange for a forbidden item that meets your own conditions, or to make a request. As long as it is within the Night Watch's capabilities, it will be granted. However, while you will gain benefits, you will also lose this medal."
At that moment, the recruits' emotions were instantly ignited.
They're still in their training camp...
If I can make some contribution during this period, is it possible that I will receive a 'Rising Star' medal when I graduate?
"report!"
"speak!"
"Sir, what are the requirements for obtaining the 'New Star' Medal?"
As if he had known this would happen, a strange smile appeared on Yuan Gang's face.
"As I just said, it's very 'simple' to obtain; you can get it as long as you make outstanding contributions during basic training."
If we had to define a range, it would be that your 'records' are equal to or better than Li Jie's.
So, wasn't that 'simple'?!
Wow!
"How is that even possible...?"
"So it seems the head instructor was telling the truth?"
"No way... Li Jie can really injure someone in the 'Sea' Realm and kill someone in the 'River' Realm?"
"He killed a peak 'River' Realm expert...that's half a 'Sea' Realm expert..."
"And then there's Medusa's divine representative. Does that mean Li Jie can also kill Lin Qiye?"
"........"
Listening to the increasingly outrageous discussions around me.
Li Jie looked helplessly at the head instructor on the podium.
If you're going to award me a medal, then just do it... Why make such a big fuss... And... is it just a medal?
When it comes to forbidden items, apart from the top few, the others might not be as powerful as [Han Guang].
As for requirements... it seems there's nothing particularly special needed at the moment...
Couldn't they offer some tangible benefits, like a bonus or something?
Actually, awarding Li Jie the 'Rising Star' medal in public was not Yuan Gang's intention.
These were all orders from Commander-in-Chief Ye, who was far away in Beijing.
Shortly before the meeting, Yuan Gang received a call from Ye Fan, along with a package.
The contents of the phone call truly startled the head instructor of the new recruits' training.
The headquarters senior management meeting decided:
Since the start of the 039 recruit training for the Night Watchmen.
The 'Rising Star' medal was established for new recruits who made outstanding contributions during the training period.
It is intended to reward rising stars among the Night's Watch.
This medal not only represents honor, but can also be used as a trade item.
After using the 'Nova' Medal, you can exchange it for a forbidden item that suits you in the Night Watchers' Vault.
Or it could be to fulfill a request from the medal holder that is within the bounds of 'reasonableness'.
How to obtain:
It can only be obtained during basic training.
Only those who handle or participate in major socially harmful incidents and receive approval from over 95% of the instructor team, and whose qualifications are approved by headquarters, can be issued certificates.
For specific acquisition conditions, please refer to the instructions for 'Li Jie'.
This command will be effective from the date of its issuance!
.........
Anyone who isn't a fool would understand this.
Li Jie's 'Rising Star' medal is probably unique...
After all, this is the 39th training camp, and there has never been a case of a new recruit killing a peak 'Chuan' realm cultivator or severely injuring a 'Hai' realm cultivator.
only......
How did Commander Ye manage to persuade that group of stubborn old men, and even come up with such a high-sounding reason...?
