”Unfortunately, I cannot.” Sergeant Mu shook his head.

”There are many things that even I’m not privy to. If you wish to learn more, you’ll have to climb the ranks and earn the necessary credentials.”

”Anyway, let’s move on to the next subject—the purpose of the military.”

After taking a deep breath, Sergeant Mu spoke with a solemn expression. ”I’m sure some of you are already aware of this, but the military’s purpose is to protect this world and its inhabitants. In other words, us.”

The soldiers immediately began mumbling to each other, and it didn’t take long before someone remarked out loud, ”But that implies our world is in danger...”

”It’s not an implication. Our world is not safe. We are not safe.”

”What is threatening us?” someone quickly asked.

”Instead of just telling you, I want all of you to experience it yourself in the near future,” said Sergeant Mu.

”With that being said, we’re not in imminent danger. In fact, it might not even happen in our lifetime.”

Yuan raised his eyebrows at Sergeant Mu’s words, which implied the military was preparing for something in the distant future.

”Now then, let’s go over the military structure, starting with the ranks,” Sergeant Mu continued calmly, as if he hadn’t just dropped a massive bomb on everyone.

”From lowest to highest, the standard ranks begin with Private, which is where everyone here starts—with the exception of Corporal Yuan. After that come Private First Class, Corporal, and finally Sergeant, the highest standard rank.”
