50 such push-ups have a certain degree of difficulty for the new students, but for Ye Jian… she had no problem doing another 50.
Time hadn’t reached yet, so Ye Jian continued. The other boys who were called by the Chief Instructor watched the girl’s slender body rise and fall; they were dumbfounded for a while.
But the expressions of the male students in the same class as Ye Jian were even more unnatural.
The few of them had a good physique. When they first started training… they were nothing like her, doing push-ups without taking a breath.
“Are you guys embarrassed? Are you guys embarrassed? A boy not as good as a girl. Look at how tall and thin she is, and then look at you… aren’t you all embarrassed?”
The Chief Instructor criticized the boys who needed to focus on their training because their physical fitness was not up to the standard, “You all still don’t want to practice, and say that you guys are here to study, and not here to learn from hardships!”
“Ye Jian, the national university entrance examination champion, she has come to study just like you! She is a high school student just like you before becoming a military academy student; she can do it; what excuses do you have for yourselves?”
Ye Jian, who was “other people’s children,” became a model student for the teacher to educate other classmates on the first day she entered the school.
This national university entrance examination champion had great scores in her studies, great physical fitness, and she was a girl, and what about them! Their results were good, but were they as good as Ye Jian? And yet, they still dared to say that they were here to study, not learn from hardships!
After Xia Jinyuan left, Ye Jian spent an hour and a half to complete all the morning tests. She pulled up her training uniform that was tied up by the waist belt, and stood in front of the Chief Instructor, “Report, I have finished the test, please give me the next instructions!”
The boys behind him, who kept track of grades and scores, stood behind Ye Jian in a regular manner. Her expression was more serious than when they were training… So scary!
The boys also had good physical fitness… but they couldn’t do so many tests in an hour and a half, and without rest in between! They didn’t know how Ye Jian did it!
They also faintly understood that this new student, Ye Jian, was not treated specially; she just really had the capital to not participate in their rookie-level military training.
“Don’t fall behind; you can shed blood and sweat but not tears. You boys, if you want to cry next time, think about Ye Jian! Think about how she could do it even though she is just like you guys! Do you all still have something to say?”
…No, they are totally speechless!
Several boys in the other classes watched Ye Jian complete the tests one after another, only after then the Chief Instructor let the boys leave in embarrassment.
The boys in Ye Jian’s class reflected on their behavior. Standing behind her, they saw her looking straight ahead, waiting for instructions from the Chief Instructor.
They had nothing to say anymore; she had most probably qualified.
The satisfied Chief Instructor said with a smile: “Not bad, go back and finish your afternoon test. Gather at 6 p.m. tonight to complete the cross-country test.”
“Yes, Sir!” Ye Jian, who had already transformed into a soldier, replied quickly, unconditionally obeying and completing the arrangements set by her superior…Grandpa Gen, Uncle Chen, Captain Xia, all officers and soldiers of the army were like this; she was no exception!
The male students in the class wiped the sweat on their palms. When they went back, they peeked at Ye Jian from time to time. They wanted to say something, but they hesitated.
They didn’t know if she heard what they said before.
