Chapter 1158

All the students replied in unison. Lohawk nodded. "Excellent. That means your network is more extensive than mine. On that note, I’d like to congratulate all the women. This is something worth celebrating, after all." All of the girls in the lecture hall were in high spirits, eager to hear why Lohawk was congratulating them. "Half a year ago, War Legate Draco abolished a few of the selection rules. From this year onwards, female students will be allowed to participate in the selection so long as they're capable. Isn't this good news?" "Yay!" All the female students cheered when they heard Lohawk's announcement, their laughter echoing throughout the entire lecture hall. Elize said, "Did I hear that right, Felicia? War Legate Draco abolished the rule that only men are allowed to participate in the selection. This means that women now have a chance to become the legate of Wyvern Peak!" "This is exhilarating!" “War Legate Draco has created a place where men and women are treated as equals. We should hail him as the best man in the world! I love him so much!" "Hahaha!" Excited voices filled the entire lecture hall, and Lohawk allowed them to celebrate the moment. She too once had hoped to become the legate. However, the rules were still in effect at the time, preventing her from climbing to that position no matter how hard she tried. But everything was different now. Her female students were eligible to participate, and they could lead Wyvern Peak so long as they emerged victorious. After allowing them to celebrate for a while, Lohawk placed her hands on the table and said, "All right, ladies, let's not celebrate too much too soon. The selection is extremely arduous, and I'm afraid most of you will be eliminated. Still, I don't want you to feel dejected even if you do get disqualified. "Every one of you should work hard on the tests as they’ll be officially recorded. So even if you don't become the legate, you still might be chosen by Wyvern Peak for a different post. Some of you might reach the same level as Raquel, Mya, Gloria, and other legendary women." "That sounds awesome!" Elize said with a smile, "Raquel's one of the ten battle warriors, Gloria is one of the rare female generals of Wyvern Peak who swept through the battlefield, while Mya is War Legate Draco's best assistant who won all the battles she's been in. I'm sure our brothers and sisters will be proud of us if we become like them." Lohawk nodded with a kind expression. "Elize's right. You should all work hard even if you don’t become the next legate so that you can become the best you can be in Wyvern Peak. I’ll be very proud of you all when that time comes." All the girls were elated. Lohawk looked toward the boys. "In the near future, one of you will become the new legate and lead Wyvern Peak to defend our nation. I'd like to say that regardless of whoever obtains the position, I want all of you to remember your mission and your glory. Everyone should be as brave and glorious as War Legate Draco and remain humble and just despite all the power and authority. I hope that the next legate will do a good job of leading Wyvern Peak. I hope that you'll protect our honor, build our forces, and stand strong against our enemies!" Lohawk's speech was powerful. "For Novemton! "For Wyvern Peak! "For honor! "We'll defeat them!" "Ha-hoo! Ha-hoo! Ha-hoo!" All the students were influenced by the charged atmosphere, chanting with their fists held up high.
