The moment Corey's voice fell, a collective gasp swept through the crowd.

No one had expected this. While most of the students were still dreaming of just qualifying for the Hundred-Man Unit selection test, someone else had already been granted a confirmed spot-no testing, no evaluation. A direct appointment.
