656 Deciding the Victor
The whole thing was as suspicious as it was puzzling.

However, Wu Mo could not give a clear answer.

Eventually, Wu Mo said, “In the next seven months, we have to race against time to train a group of excellent battleship pilots. They’ll be the main force in our war against alien civilizations.”

Hearing this, the faces of the novice students sitting below changed drastically. They were all extremely shocked.

Some were even thinking about withdrawing…

They chose this training simply to find a good job and live a better life.

If they had to face impending calamity, they would not be willing to fight against the alien civilization.

After all, not everyone had such a selfless spirit.

Wu Mo looked at the students below.

He knew that some were starting to get scared and consider quitting.

He smiled and waved his hand. “I’ve already told everyone what this course truly entails. If you want to quit, please raise your hand now. I promise that you won’t be punished.”

Wu Mo respected everyone’s choice. He would never force them to do something they were unwilling to do.

The moment Wu Mo finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd.

As expected, a student mustered up his courage and stood up with his hand raised. “I’m sorry, Mr. Wu. I might disappoint you and the other teachers, but I’m my mother’s only son, so I’ve decided to quit.”

Someone else stood up and said with an apologetic smile, “I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t understand the mission and duty of a battleship pilot before. I’m deeply sorry. I don’t think I can handle this heavy responsibility, so I’ve decided to quit…”

After that, others expressed their decision one after another.

The number of hands in the crowd was comparable to bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The sudden change made the teachers and four founders speechless.

Their expressions instantly darkened as if they were in disbelief.

These noble students had gone through hardships, but they were choosing to withdraw at this critical moment.

However, there was a faint sense of relief in Wu Mo’s eyes following the shocking outcome.

After all, choosing to withdraw now might not be a bad thing.

If they learned all the skills and lost their nerves when they entered the battlefield, they would truly be doomed.

Therefore, the panic they were showing now and their choice to leave seemed more like good news to Wu Mo.

He glanced at the number of people present and counted them.

Among the original seniors, sixty-eight chose to change careers. Among the eighty new students, fifty-two chose to quit.

In other words, after they heard the truth from Wu Mo, more than half the students chose to withdraw from this major. Some were even prepared to drop out.

They had initially chosen to join the Spaceship Training Academy because they wanted to be part of the glorious family of astronauts.

They never thought that they would have to risk their lives to fight alien civilizations in space.

Right then, the most cowardly side of human nature was revealed as they chose to avoid reality.

Even so, Wu Mo did not blame anyone.

However, the defensive capabilities of this new type of battleship were powerful, hence the risk in battle was not high.

He knew that once they realized this, they might regret their decision, But by then, it would be too late.

After those people left, there were less than fifty individuals left in the academy.

These people were stunned, but there was determination in the depths of their eyes.

They had ordinary backgrounds, but they held strong beliefs. Even after they heard Wu Mo’s explanation, they still decided to stay and complete their studies.

If something big happened in the future, they would enter the battlefield to defend mankind’s honor.

Wu Mo felt a little touched when he saw them.

“Each and every one of you has impressed me.”

He said, “I promise you that you’ll become the best spaceship pilots in the future!”

Although he had warned them about the danger, they still chose to stay.

This proved that they were all committed people.

At this moment, the whole world was watching the live stream and talking about it.

The audience was divided into two factions. One faction supported those who left, while the other supported those who stayed.

With that over, the academy finally got on the right track.

Wu Mo also announced that he had become the academy’s honorary principal before he officially started the new course.

When a real battle spaceship landed on the academy’s field, its internal control facilities attracted the attention of all the students who had stayed behind.

Everyone lined up to take a look. When they saw how magnificent the inside of the spaceship was, they were all shocked.

“Oh, my God. This is a real battle spaceship. Only a spaceship like this can deal a substantial blow to the alien civilization!” a student said emotionally.

“Phew! This spaceship is the only true battleship. There’s no other spaceship that can launch a powerful attack against the alien creatures,” another student expressed his opinion excitedly.

After everyone visited the battle spaceship’s cabin, they were deeply shocked. Strong emotions surged in their hearts.

They realized that although the previous spaceship model could be restored to a certain extent, there was a considerable gap between it and a real battle spaceship.

Time moved quickly, and half a year passed by.

The results of the bet with Professor Corrick were about to be revealed.

At this moment, everyone watching the live stream was waiting with rapt attention.

They knew that the ten volunteers had not faked it or secretly taken any supplements.

Just as dawn broke, body samples were collected from the ten volunteers.

Their blood, bodily fluids, hair, and other data would be made public in succession.

“Director Wu, the test is about to begin! The winner of the bet is about to be decided!” a researcher reported to Wu Mo.

Wu Mo nodded lightly and slowly said, “Alright. I got it. Tell me when the results are out!”

Wu Mo did not pay too much attention to it because he was sure that he would not lose.

At this moment, Professor Corrick became the center of attention.

Everyone wanted to know who would win the bet between him and Wu Mo.

They waited nervously for the test results from the hospital.

Soon, the test results were announced one after another.

The first blood test showed that the volunteers’ blood was completely normal. It was no different from that of an ordinary person.

When the results were announced, Professor Corrick immediately became restless.

However, he still waited patiently for the rest of the results.

The second bodily fluid test also turned out completely normal!

“What? How is this possible? Their blood and bodily fluids are normal. How could this be?”
