Looking at the girl standing upright in front, listening to her confident and calm answer, some of the male students with excellent physical fitness were inexplicably nervous, and a sentence flashed in their minds: Here comes a rival.
The squad leader who switched his status to “Senior Brother” nodded and smiled, “Not bad, very confident. What we want is confidence! I want to tell you all those students with good physical fitness can enjoy many benefits in the future! If you can achieve excellent results this month, you can arrange your own training schedule next month.”
He pointed to himself and boasted immodestly, “Take, for example, myself. I can arrange my training schedule for four months in a year. Whenever I go back to the dormitory and see my batch mates exhausted while I walk to the test room relaxly, I feel proud!”
What this Senior Brother meant was, not only was he talent in his studies, he was also a talent in his physical fitness!
“In this military academy, physical fitness and studies are equally important. We are called the “second life” by our school, so sometimes these two are even more important than academics!
“Especially the quizzes every week and the big tests every month, you will be tested on your physical fitness. You have to be mentally prepared. Many weak scholars who only studied for a good grade in high school, once they couldn’t pass the tests, they had to sacrifice their precious freedom, to improve their physical fitness in the future.”
“Junior brothers and sisters, all the best! This assessment will be related to your physical fitness arrangements for the next month. If you manage to score a good grade, you can go to the library, laboratory… to do your projects. If you have a poor grade, you can continue to enjoy the sunshine of the city and take a bath in a hot pot.”
Victory seemed to be in sight. After today, they would be free. Who knew… In the latter part, there was still day-after-day, year-after-year physical training… The faces of the weaker few immediately turned pale.
“Rest for 10 minutes. When the two brothers next door are done, we’ll start our class!” Senior Brother blew his whistle sharply, and he returned to his monitor status the next second. He shouted: “Attention, take a break! Disband!”
The students, who felt pressured instantly, couldn’t smile even after disband. Several arrogant boys squeezed their training uniforms; they were very dissatisfied: “Seriously? A quiz a week, a big exam a month, how are we going to study?”
“Are we here to study or to train? Darn it! What kind of arrangement is this!”
“Shh, don’t talk too much. You’re not the only one; we are all in this together. Sophomore, junior, senior, all are the same, so how can we be exempted!”
“Cheh, don’t say that we won’t have exceptions; don’t we already have an exception in our class? That new student, Ye Jian, why is she an exception? Darn it! We came over a month in advance for our training, which so happened to be the hottest period! But look at her, all clean and relaxed, coming in here and joining us.”
Another boy picked up the uniformly distributed military water bottle and drank a few sips, then he continued to complain, “She looks quite pretty, maybe she belongs to one of those high-ranking officials’ family, that’s why she’s treated specially at the start. Who knows what other special treatments she would get in the future.”
“Do you want to be criticized again?! Didn’t the scolding last time teach you a lesson?” The male student, sitting with him, warned softly. He glanced at Ye Jian, who was talking with the monitor, and whispered, “If she really belongs to a high-ranking official’s family, we, even more, can’t afford to offend her!”
