Chapter 125
The third and second ce for the Best Company award were announced one after another. The
winners were Company 25 and 80. These twopanies had outstanding results. Company 25
voluntarily took a hoe and built a path from the training ground to the canteen, while Company 80
rescued a snub-nosed monkey that was seriously injured and nearly died. The Forestry Department
even specially sent them a thank-you gift.
It was finally the time for the announcement of the first ce for the Best Company award. The host
looked lively at everyone’s expectant gazes before speaking in a sweet voice, “Thepany that won
the first ce for the Best Company award is really a worthy winner of this award.
They are united, caring, and helpful to one another. They didn’t strive for individual excellence; they
strived for zero failures. During the military training, they have done many remarkable deeds. They are
the…”
Everyone held their breath, and even Sophia stared wide-eyed at the stage, waiting for the host to
announce the winner of the Best Company award.
The host paused for a few seconds, which felt like a few centuries to everyone.
Finally, the host’s lips parted, and the name of thepany that everyone was expecting was
announced. “Company 49!”
The audience burst into an uproar. Everyone from Company 49 was shocked and delighted, and tears of
joy streamed down their cheeks. They nearly hugged one another and cried.
The host started to introduce the remarkable deeds of Company 49. “Company 49 pioneered the united-
style military training. When they were in field training exercise, they traveled in a team, and everyone
arrived at the finishing line on time.
There were two students who unfortunately got hurt during the training, but not only did they not abandon
their teammates, they even took turns to carry the two injured teammates on their back, and the whole
team arrived at the finishing line together. Congrattions, Company 49!”
Commander Ford went up the stage in delight and received two awards—the Best Company and Best
Instructor awards. He then added, “Company 49 is not the bestpany I have ever trained, but they
are the most unitedpany I have ever had under me!”
Joel nodded in agreement as well.
Military training could easily reveal one’s true colors. Most people were selfish, and they were only
concerned about their own scores, ignoring the conditions of others.
Company 49 was a team that was totally different from the others. By being united, their team managed
to attain a high score although the team mostly consisted of members who initially couldn’t get a high
score.
In fact, none of them failed the military training, and the average score for each member was above 75.
During the field training exercise, there were plenty of teams that managed to obtain a high average
score. However, other than Company 49, none of thepanies were able to ensure that all their
members arrived at the destination on time.

When they were in the mountains, the members of otherpanies were mostly scattered, and only
Company 49 kept all their members together throughout the journey. They even saved a few injured and
abandoned students from otherpanies.
Just like a rolling snowball, more and more students gathered together, and in the end, there were over
10panies that traveled together. Everyone helped one another, and together, they looked mighty.
The instructors were astonished as they had never seen such a scene.
Company 49 had truly demonstrated what it meant to be united and also the saying that went, ‘in unity,
there is strength’!
Upon recalling what they had been through in the past month, the members from Company 49 had tears
rolling down their cheeks. It used to be impossible for many of them to even pass military training.
If it weren’t for Sophia… Unfortunately, she probably had been expelled by Bayside University, and they
might not have the opportunity to even meet her again.
Everyone felt sorry for Sophia when they thought about her.
There was a session whereby a representative from the Best Company went on stage for a speech, and
Juliete was the representative for Company 49.
When she got on stage, she spoke, “Ourpany actually started off with extremely poor results, but
now, we were able to achieve such wonderful results.
First of all, we would like to thank Commander Carter, all battalionmanders, and allmanding
generals for your concerns and guidance. Secondly, we would like to thank Miss Sophia Edwards!”
At the mention of Sophia, everyone began whispering to one another as she was famous in the
university!
It’s such a pity…
Upon hearing Sophia’s name, Stanley couldn’t resist the urge to nudge her with his elbow. “Sophia, she’s
talking about you!”
Of course, Sophia heard her. Company 49 was able to get such great results, which showed that my
effort in all those days has finally paid off!
Juliette looked at all the students present from the stage and emotionally uttered, “Company 49 is mostly
made up of girls, so we don’t have any advantage in terms of physical stamina. We had practically zero
chances of winning against otherpanies, let alone against students from Sports University. But
luckily, we had Miss Sophia Edwards.
Though she was injured, she trained harder and more seriously than all of us. She was the most serious
student in ourpany, and she was also the one who had the best performance.
She even voluntarily sacrificed her rest time to provide personal training to the weaker students from our
company. It was her who told us that Company 49 is a team, and we cannot leave anyone behind.
No matter how tough things go, we cannot give up on any of the students. We didn’t hope for a high
individual score; we only hoped for everyone to pass! Although she is no longer part of Company 49, but
to us, she’ll always be the soul of Company 49!”
The audiences broke into a rapturous apuse. Sophia, who was sitting among the members of Superb
Company, blushed.
Erm… I was just showing off when I continued with my training even though I was injured. I dragged the
whole team to train just because I was worried that the low results of those weaker students in the team
would affect my overallpany score and cost me my high score. All in all, I’m really not that noble; I
merely knew about some hidden rules…
However, when she heard Juliette’spliments, she still felt warm and sweet.
After the Best Company award was given out, everyone felt dispirited and depressed. Their final hope
was the Best Individual award.
However, everyone had a vague feeling that they had no chance in getting that award.
The Best Individual award would certainly belong to a person who was all-rounded in terms of morality,
intelligence, physical strength, and beauty.
The person must have outstanding results and made special contributions in order to win this award. The
person must be from Sports University or Superb Company.
The top 3 winners of the Best Individual award were finally announced. The third- and second-ce
winners would get a custom-made medal.
The first-ce winner would get the opportunity to have dinner together with the General, Taylor Murray,
and Ethan Winston. The prize for the first-ce winner certainly aroused the eagerness of many!
It would be a great honor to be able to have dinner with the three idols! After having the meal, the winner
would certainly be well-known all over the world!
During the gaps between each cultural performance, the host would go on stage to introduce the next
performance, and at the same time, she would announce one of the winners of the award.
The third-ce winner was a boy from Sports University. His results were unbelievable, with almost
perfect scores in all categories. However, in the peer rating session where the students were required to
rate for one another, some of the students gave him bad reviews due to their jealousy of his usual
excellent performance, causing him to be unable to get full marks.
The second-ce winner was a boy from the Faculty of Architecture and Construction, who had led
everyone to build a road during their rest time. He had also been given bad reviews by other students.
Human nature was always unpredictable. Although everyone usually seemed friendly and caring for one
another, some of them would reveal their true colors during anonymous rating sessions.
As for the first-ce winner…
