"No," He ruthlessly cut off the other Marshal.

"It's really unfair for other trainees to have this girl right here."

The green-eyed Marshal is still picking the young lady whose arm was broken by him. Lance frown. In fact, it was not just him who found the attitude of this Marshal very unprofessional and annoying, the others also share the same feeling.

The assessment is the most important thing for these trainees. This could change their lives forever. This could get them an enviable position in the society and hierarchy. This could get them the leverage to ascend and move up to the second floor.

Life is better in the second world.

"She had been here in the fortress the longest. Receiving special training from a Marshal himself. However, what did she do? Break the rules! And you guys are so hypocrites that you are willing to give her a chance. Normally, the higher ups will immediately dismiss or expel law breakers. Because the laws of our fortress are impenetrable! But what type of example are you setting up here by playing favorites?" He hissed. His mouth curled into a sneer as he stared at Marshal Klein.

"What the law indicates is if anyone in the fortress broke a law, the higher ups in the fortress will vote for the person's final sentence. How the higher ups decide will be determined by the person's merits. The more merits earned by the lawbreaker, the lighter the sentence will be." Marshal Klein did not glance at the green-eyed Marshal who'd been clearly stirring the dark waters since earlier.

"If you look at Alice's records, you will see she has one of the top high killing and elimination rates of infested alien species. She has led team battles with the 'Suits' and has won multiple times. The higher ups considered her achievements into account and lightened her sentence. Marshal Agner, I believe the higher ups had already given their judgment to her. When they ask if anyone has any objection, why didn't you voice out your opinions? Must you hinder these trainees' assessment for such a very trivial thing?"

Marshal Agner's face turned red with suppressed anger. His intention to humiliate and create discord among the trainees was turned upside down instantly. Not only does the other trainees not feel any resentment for this girl and the other Marshals, he was even shoved in the crowd and was seen as the number one's public enemy.

"Alright everyone, follow me. The plane is about to take off in ten minutes." One of the staff in charge for the assessment suddenly entered the room and beckoned for the other trainees to exit the Suits hibernation room.

Seeing this, Marshal Agner wanted to stop the staff but something suddenly prick him in the neck, causing his muscles to stiffen.

Fuck!

This is one of Marshal Klein's abilities.

It was rumored that out of all high ranking marshal in this fortress, Marshal Klein keep his position at the top three because of his multiple abilities.

One of it is to control another person's body. Whoever he touched, he could definitely control your body. If he wanted you to jump off the building, you have no choice but to do it despite your refusal.

But there was one person who was able to escape from that control.

And its the very trainee Marshal Klein took under his wing and trained vigorously with!

Marshal Agner clenched his fist until it whiten due to pressure. His nails dug deeper into his skin that it almost punctured through his skin.

His pride as a Marshal was affected upon his circumstances. How could a mere trainee resist Marshal Klein's ability to control while he, as a Marshal could not?!

He's not inferior of any way from that frail little girl!

He watched with gritted teeth as Alice joined the others. The assessment must be followed on schedule and they are just taken here in this fortress since the portal is here to the second floor.

Alice, who have been nitpicked by the Marshal, received multiple curious glances from the other trainees. They neither showed sympathy or hostility. These trainees have experienced more severe training that they are wired to not be swayed by their emotions.

That is why, watching a frail girl with a broken arm taking assessment did not arouse any pity in their eyes.

Still, most of them could not get rid of their curiosity. Was it true that she had led a team consist of 'suits' to conquer C grade monster alien bases?

Judging by how weak looking she looked, they could not imagine her doing that. Unless she had some deadly ability that compensate her frail looking body.

In the cabin where they are all shoved in, Alice was surrounded by tall muscular strong looking men. There are also women but they are taller than her and more buffer, especially the arms.

Alice was quietly sitting, her back was straight and her posture was effortlessly imposing. Even though she was the most weak looking, her blank expression made others not take her likely.

Alice kept her mouth shut but the system in charge of her keep screaming on her head.

[Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!! Fuck thaat dickhead! That motherfucker flaunting his jealousy! I should just shove his rotten fish looking head into the monster alien mud dumpster and grew out more rotten small fishes in his face!! Gah! He's so smelly my nose is itchy!]

Alice did not answer. She kept her eyes straight but her attention was focused on the specific corner. She eyed Lance and checked his body stats.

She confirmed the merging process was exceptional. It actually goes beyond expectation. As early as a few hours right after integrating into a trainee's body, he could actually control the ability on it.

Alice threw a question to the system who's screaming nonstop in her head.

"Can his ability back when he was a suit be used with this new body?"

The system shut up and checked some relevant data.

After a few seconds, it answered.

[No.]

"That's not what you told me before." Alice nonchalantly thought.

Her expression may not say anything but she was clearly dissatisfied. Alice does not want to waste her efforts. Each second of her time is precious. She's already a few steps away from succeeding however her progress was disrupted.

Lance is the new seedling Awakeners that must be fertilized in order to grow and become the new tasker. His awakening condition seems pretty harsh but there was nothing she could do.

Each system's condition to awaken the Awakeners varied individually.

[Aaaaahhhhh, yes… It's not what I told you. However, considering that Lance has merged into a new body, it will take time before he regain those skills. After all, he had not performed any tasks yet.]

[How about if we collaborate with system W- XH3441 and merge your missions? The merits are individual of course and you will not be dividing the total merit between the two of you, instead whatever your score is as a team, that will be your score individually?]

Alice hummed. "Whatever."

The system happily cheered. [Then it's settled then! Beware though! Since there are two of you Awakeners performing this task, the level of the missions will be A grades or S grades.]

"Yeah."

And Alice closed her eyes as she leaned back against her chair.

Meanwhile, Lance keep glancing at the other trainees around him. Dozens of people were crowded together, there is a fluorescent sign over their heads that displayed the words 'Assessment Cabin.'

All of them had changed into combat gear before they took their seats. The material is very flexible and can't be damaged immediately. Lance had worn gears and he could tell the material where this combat gear is made out of is considered high grade.

He took a deep breath and observed the girl with the broken arm not far away from him. Her eyes were closed, as if she was meditating so as not to be distracted by the pain from her broken arm.

The trainee sitting beside Lance keep putting his hands together and mutter under his breath. Lance listened to the same mantra being repeated 9 times already, the trainee on his right had a deep frown on his face as he clench and unclench his fist. He had been doing this since they sat down and Lance could swear it's been 216 times that he clench his fist now.

So these advanced aliens who looked humans in the surface has improved exceptionally that they developed human thinking, behavior and IQ unconsciously.

Nobody would doubt they are not human.

The trainee opposite Lance caught him glancing around and he flashed him a smile.

"Hello! I'm Luka from the 59th fortress! This is my second time participating in the assessment, I'm good at long range position! But direct confrontation combat is where I'm best at!"

Okay…..?

Lance opened his mouth to introduce himself when a harsh radio broadcast cracked to life, the sharp sound soundwaves made all of them cover their ears.
