The counselor held a class meeting in the afternoon, focusing on military training!
As soon as the meeting ended, the students were organized to collect their military training equipment.
Before even returning with the clothes, Qiu Xi asked classmates to go back and get textbooks.
She then asked her roommates to take her things back to the dormitory for her, before she herself went to the teaching building.
The textbooks were indeed heavy, and carrying them back to the dormitory left the few who did feeling half-dead.
Qiu Xi, lying on her bed, felt even worse at the thought of military training the day after tomorrow.
“Little Flower, is there anything that can enhance my stamina?”
With no other options, she decided to turn to Little Flower.
“Of course, there are stamina pills from the shop.”
Qiu Xi’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately checked the shop.
“...1000 points. Can I afford this?” Qiu Xi was instantly deterred.
The points she had earned from daily check-ins before the semester had been spent, and the points from the past two days plus the beginner oral training only amounted to barely enough. Qiu Xi did not want to revert to her previous state.
This was too difficult!
“Are there any other ways?”
“There is one more. Xiao Xi can start other stamina-related training.”
“…” This was like trying to quench a fire miles away.
After lying motionless for a while, Qiu Xi decided to start training and chose martial arts.
This was partly to strengthen her body, as her stamina could not remain so poor; and partly as a precaution in case something happened later.
“Little Flower, start a martial arts training course for me.”
“Okay.”
“Hmm, did you guys buy sunscreen?”
Qiu Xi, who was still “contemplating life,” suddenly heard Song Daiyao’s question.
“Yes, otherwise I’m afraid my mom wouldn’t recognize me after two weeks of sun exposure,” Shen Yan said helplessly. It was unavoidable.
Liang Yunfei nodded from her seat, “Mm, I bought it.”
Song Daiyao looked at Qiu Xi on the bed, “Xiao Xi, what about you?”
“Bought it! Isn’t it a beauty essential~” The thick-skinned Qiu Xi began to praise herself again.
“Ew~” The gazes of the entire dormitory swept over her.
However, this topic reminded Qiu Xi of the items she had bought at great expense from the system shop, which she could now use.
“Do we also need to wash these clothes in preparation for military training the day after tomorrow?” Shen Yan asked, holding up the military uniform they had just received.
“……”
The sudden silence was deafening.
------Military Training Break------
The first day of military training.
Early in the morning, around 6 AM, lights began to turn on one after another in the dormitory building.
They dressed, tidied up, ate breakfast, and then headed to the athletic field.
What followed was the opening ceremony for military training.
After standing for half the morning, Qiu Xi deeply understood what it meant to have started training even before the actual exercises began, with everyone already holding their posture.
The flag was raised, and the head instructor was still shouting orders.
“...All companies return to your formations.”
As the head instructor’s final words echoed, everyone instinctively relaxed.
However, before they could utter a word, their own company’s instructor appeared.
“Alright, 8th Company, over here.”
Upon reaching their designated spot, the instructor planted the company flag and told everyone to sit down.
‘Well, alright! I have to admit, the instructor looks extremely handsome right now,’ Qiu Xi thought as she sat down.
“Alright, before training begins, we’ll go over the rules.” His tone suddenly became serious.
“First… no lateness for training… you must report when speaking…”
After a barrage of instructions, the instructor, regardless of whether everyone understood, loudly yelled, “Do you hear me?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Louder.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Good, let’s begin training.” He was truly concise and efficient.
It was excellent! The first exercise, holding the military posture, lasted the entire morning.
Midway, some students couldn’t resist speaking and were rewarded with extra time and squat punishments.
This left them not only physically but also mentally exhausted.
The morning’s training left Qiu Xi and her roommates somewhat weary, their legs aching and swollen. After a quick lunch at the cafeteria, they collapsed upon returning to the dormitory.
When the afternoon arrived, Shen Yan was the first to get up, “Get up, get up, or we’ll be late!”
“My eyes say they’re very tired…” Qiu Xi said, struggling to get up, still in the mood for a joke.
Then, splashing cold water on her face and applying sunscreen, she headed out.
