The others stay. He gets kicked out?
This means… I wasn't selected?
Zhu Tao's face flushed red, then turned deathly pale, his expression twisting with fury. The others, however, were ecstatic. They were actually being kept.
Before coming, they knew there were only three spots available. Choosing just three people from a group of over a dozen was an incredibly brutal selection process. Furthermore, they were all aware that among them, Zhu Tao was the strongest. He was supposed to be a shoo-in. That meant there were really only two spots up for grabs.
Originally, they had all been worried. If they weren't selected and got sent back to their original units, it would be utterly humiliating. But now, with a single sentence, Instructor Lin had dismissed the one person who seemed like a sure thing, Zhu Tao, while the rest of them got to stay.
This was a truly pleasant surprise.
