Third exam. Me and someone named Yan, were called to the middle of the arena. I, who had just sat down, stood back up. Walk quickly to the arena.
“You guys ready?” A referee (maybe?) asking ensures.
We both nodded. “Siap. Start!”
GONG! Gong was hit, a sign of the match starting.
I reflexively retreated one step back, alert. Yan smiled faintly, I saw her. Wushh Yan is nimble towards me. BOOM! I threw a small ball on the floor. The smoke billowed great. I took a step back, kicking the confused Yan by a split second. And drooping down.
Two seconds later, the smoke disappeared. I threw three little balls. Yan shifted his left leg slightly, dodging. He pushed his body, Grinning widely, a small whimper of wind enveloped his right hand.
Tornadoes forming. My body was tossed around in the tornado. Fifteen seconds, the tornado was gone. My eyes were spinning, dizzy. Like a bird on the head.
Without mercy, Yan again made a tornado. A wind chirp formed from under the floor where I stood. I flicked my finger, pulling the three dumb-billed balls rolling. Yan looked back. Couldn't. Yan froze, the windy misfortune that started to form into a tornado, instantly disappearing. Yan, his entire body was frozen, with a shocked expression on his face that was frozen.
“WINNER IS ADRIAN!” The participants applauded, muttered.
“Hahaha... barely, I almost lost.” I took out a small ball, warming Yan's body, which froze. Two minutes later, the ice began to melt.
Yan smiled bitterly, “Wah. I guess you're a pretty decent person I can make a stepping aid.” Two small balls rolled on the floor, then picked them up. “Wah, wah, wah... even so-so, I have ten different powers you know.” Perfect already. My face is like a demon that rules the universe.

The next, next, and subsequent matches went uniquely. Unique people, unique abilities, and unique selection. You guys didn't hear wrong, selection. The commander-in-chief could choose the troops he wanted to recruit at will. Even if they are useless.
Third exam, done. The sun was almost out, soon changing. The participants were gathered back into the middle of the arena, calling them one by one. Then the commander-in-chief would raise a hand if they wanted to recruit one of the examinees.
“Number 43, go. Fail.”
“Number 45, go. Fail.”
“Number 53, go forward.” Surprising. Almost all of the commander-in-chief raised their hands. The other participants exclaimed, surprised, not expecting. Also me.
“Number 61, go. Fail.”
“Number 62, go. Failed”
“Number 63, go forward.” The three chief commanders raised their hands at once. Wih... steady, Abel!
Abel looked at the three chiefs and deputy commanders for a moment, “I will join the Cloud Force.” Hahaha.
“Participant number 63, will join Cloud Force!”
The host again checked the sequence number in his hand, “Number 64, forward.” Suddenly, my heart was beating. My breaths roaring. I gulped, stepping into the middle of the arena.
“Good. For the commanders-in-chief, please.”
“Wait, I still haven't told you to talk.” One of the commanders stood up. Now, a pair of eyes were on me, who was standing in the middle of the arena.
The commander-in-chief got up from the chair, raising his hand. “I'll recruit the boy. And you also cannot choose now, because no commander-in-chief raised his hand other than me.” He looked me in the eye, then sat back down.
Phew. I'm barely welcome. But... I got into the Moon Force, huh? But wait, the sound is similar to the voice of the person who speaks arbitrarily in the microphone, right? Then.he was the one that Fang was looking at! If the chairman is just as willing, what about the members?
The clock tower showed at six in the afternoon, also coinciding with the completion of the selection exam this time.237 participants were accepted, the rest failed. But fortunately, Abel, Fang, and Thomi were recruited. Although we were accepted into a different army.

Before you guys don't get confused, I'll tell you a little bit about the basics.
Today, the kingdom is divided into eight regions. It automatically has eight kingdoms. The Kingdom of Markrasta, Kingdom of Alixia, Kingdom of Don-Sa, Kingdom of Haska, Kingdom of Yanpat, Kingdom of Salazar, Kingdom of Don-Pa, and Kingdom of Don-Da.
Each kingdom has its own military power to defend its territory from attacks by other kingdoms, if at any time they want to seize the territory by force.
And one of the military forces of the Markrasta Kingdom was seven armies, each of which had a commander-in-chief who led and directed their troops according to the King's orders.
Sun Forces.
Cloud Forces.
Sky Troop.
The red Fire Army.
Afternoon Squad.
Moon Force.

As the moon rose, the participants returned to their homes. Some of them were crying, claustrophobic, sad, even blaming themselves why he had not worked so hard all this time, regretting why he had just sat back, trying not to know anything.
Including us, the accepted participants. Back to our new home.
“Wait for what else? Hold my hand, we'll go back to the castle.” Commander-in-Chief of the Moon Force, Leah. Stretched his hand.
I nodded, welcoming the hand. Without asking if I'm ready or not, BUM! There was a deafening sound from Commander Leah's feet, bouncing far up, towards “kastil”.
Ten minutes goes like ten hours. I'm trying to contain the nausea as much as possible, until. We have reached the castle of the Moon Army. The place where the troublemakers are.
I looked up looking around, “But Commander, where is the castle you mean?” Commander Leah patted me on the shoulder, very strong. Torn because of the effect of the clap.
Commander Leah pointed to the back. I'm turning around backwards, gee... This big? In the middle of the jungle?
“Not a wilderness.” The Deputy Commander wiped the sweat. “We are right in the forbidden forest. The place where the forest monsters sleep soundly.” Sleep tight?!
Commander Leah embraces me, “Ck, get in.” Me and the Deputy Commander nodded, walking over. Just as the door of the castle was opened, it was empty. There's no one.
“HEI YOU! IT'S NOT POLITE TO IGNORE OUR NEWCOMER! DON'T KEEP HUDDLING IN BED, AND COME HERE SOON!” It was so loud that Commander Leah cried, that my ears shook to hear it.
