Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

After inquiring about the location for joining the army, Lu Ye headed there.

Just as Arya's father said, there were quite a few people signing up for the army these days.

While waiting, Lu Ye learned about the Imperial Arms Users from the Imperial Capital soldiers nearby.

The Imperial Arms Users hold a very high position within the Imperial Capital's army.

Because Imperial Arms are not something anyone can use, those who can wield them are not ordinary soldiers; on the contrary, they receive preferential treatment.

This was, of course, within Lu Ye's expectations.

But the real reason he didn't turn around and leave was that Teigu users have a considerable amount of personal freedom.

Unless they have a mission, Teigu users are not bound to the military camp like ordinary soldiers; instead, they can roam around freely.

Even areas guarded by ordinary soldiers can be entered if there is a legitimate reason.

Simply put, Teigu users are a group of people who have special privileges in the military.

Although there were many people, Lu Ye did not have to wait in line for long.

He bribed the soldiers who were maintaining order.

The soldiers, having been paid, led Lu Ye inside from the side of the room.

"Name, age, place of origin".

The middle-aged man, dressed in military uniform and with a full beard, didn't even look up as he hunched over a wooden table, writing a report.

"Name: Lu Ye, Age: 18, Hometown: Gelin Village".

The first two items are correct, only the last one is not Lu Ye's true information.

Golin Village was the hometown of Iyeas and Shayou, so Lu Ye simply borrowed it for a while.

After all, he can't exactly say he's from Bengbu City, can he?

"Hmm, another one from Goring Village. This is the fourth one." The officer muttered, handing over a form. "Sign this one."

That was a data sheet, about things like height and weight.

As Lu Ye wrote, he began to have doubts.

The only people who should have come from Goring Village are Iyeas and Sayo.

If I'm the fourth one, then who's the third?

Driven by curiosity, Lu Ye couldn't help but ask his question.

"Oh, it seems to be a guy named Tatsumi. He's an arrogant fellow who wants to be the captain as soon as he arrives. It's hilarious!"

The officer looked impatient as he thought of that person.

"We originally intended to throw that kid out, but it seems your fellow villager stopped us."

"And what happened to them afterward?"

"It seems they've all passed the preliminary selection. Although they're from the countryside, your fellow villagers are quite capable."

After filling out the form,

After being instructed not to freely enter or leave the testing area during the selection process,

Lu Ye arrived at the selection venue.

The economy in Beijing isn't doing so well right now, so many people want to come here and get a stable job.

But not everyone can have a secure job.

To join the army, you must at least meet the physical fitness requirements.

Therefore, everyone who applies to join the army must go through two rounds of testing.

The first round is a physical fitness test.

The physical fitness test goes without saying.

Lu Ye's current overall physical rating is B+, easily securing first place.

“Not bad, kid,” the soldier in charge of recording the scores nodded at him. “Rest here for a while. We’ll provide lunch for free. You’ll participate in the second round of testing this afternoon.”

The second round of testing was a selection competition.

Simply put, it involves having the people selected from the first round compete, and the winner can join the army.

After all, these are special times.

With the capital surrounded by enemies on all sides, it urgently needs cannon fodder that can be immediately deployed to the battlefield, rather than having to spend time and effort training them.

Incidentally, although those who pass the first test will receive a free lunch.

However, if a candidate fails the second test to enter the army, they will have to pay for their own lunch.

This rule appears to have been established by lower-ranking officers.

The reason seems to be to prevent homeless people from coming to freeload.

But all the money that came back ended up in their pockets.

Lu Ye ate his bento box while staring at the long queue.

These people all want to join the army, but nearly half of them will be eliminated, right?

All things considered, those officers actually earned quite a bit of money each day.

Lu Ye withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the field.

He got bored after observing for only two minutes.

These people are not strong enough. Although each of them has a strong offensive momentum, their defense is insufficient.

This is a major taboo.

In a battle against a master, you must not only concentrate your attacks but also be careful to defend against your opponent's attacks.

Lu Ye, who had forged so many iron pieces in the Sekiro world, was well aware of this.

Then, the next match began.

Entering the arena were a brown-haired boy and a muscular, strong man.

The size difference between the two is huge.

"He actually drew a heavyweight. That guy's luck is really bad."

The burly man launched an attack.

Just when everyone thought the brown-haired boy would lose,

The brown-haired boy used incredibly fast swordsmanship to cut the weapon in the burly man's hand.

This made Lu Ye's eyes light up.

The fact that the brown-haired boy defeated the strong man in one move shows that he had already seized the man's weakness the moment the strong man launched his attack.

From this perspective, not all the guys who come to the capital to join the army are ordinary people.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Brother Lu Ye!?"

When someone called his name, Lu Ye turned around and saw that it was Iyeas and Shayou.

The two men were wearing soldiers' uniforms from the capital, clearly indicating that they had successfully joined the army.

"It really is you, Brother Lu Ye!"

"What are you doing here?" Lu Ye asked curiously.

"We are new recruits now, and we're just helping out with some tasks here for the time being."

Simply put, they're not qualified to go to the battlefield and earn military merit yet!

Sha You let out a deep sigh.

They were supposed to be training in the military camp.

However, the officer saw that the two of them were quite skilled, so he exempted them from training and sent them here to help.

"Sayoo! Iyeas! I won!!"

Just then, the brown-haired boy also walked over.

"Hmm, well done, Tatsumi!"

Tatsumi?

Lu Ye looked at the brown-haired boy.

Is he Tatsumi, the one who got separated from Ieyasu and Sayo...?

Hmm, it seems the three are evenly matched in strength.

"Hmph, a piece of cake. It's just a pity that the officer didn't have the foresight. With the three of us, we could at least become captains, right?" Recalling what happened this morning, Tatsumi was very dissatisfied.

"There's no other way. If I have no connections and no money, I guess I'll have to start from the bottom," Sha You sighed.

After what happened last night, she and Iyeas had gained a basic understanding of the capital.

The world is complex, and people's hearts are treacherous.

"But don't worry, Tatsumi," Ieyas gave a thumbs up, "With our strength, we can make a name for ourselves even without connections or money. Then you and I will be heroes known to everyone!"

"Oh right! This is Brother Lu Ye, whom I told you about before!"

"Are you Brother Lu Ye?" Tatsumi's eyes lit up, then he lowered his voice. "I heard from Shayou and the others that you uncovered the treacherous nobles' plot, saved the two of them, and single-handedly killed the family's guards, right?"

"Yes, it's me. Nice to meet you, Tatsumi." Lu Ye smiled slightly.

Looking at Lu Ye's gentle smile, a hint of reverence flickered in Tatsumi's eyes.

Not only did he save his companions, but after uncovering the villains' plot, he also single-handedly stormed into the banquet and wreaked havoc.

Doesn't this plot resemble the righteous protagonist in a storybook?

Having grown up in the village, Tatsumi admired this kind of person.

However, the protagonist of justice did not notice Tatsumi's gaze.
