Ju Yiqiu felt that Meng Huai, usually such a clever person, always got confused about these small matters.
She must have been studying too hard, which is why she messed up the transfer deadline. Ju Yiqiu thought this, making excuses for Meng Huai.
Meng Huai said jokingly, "It seems I'm not that important either! No one looked for me when I didn't transfer."
Ju Yiqiu smiled and said, "Maybe it's because you were competing, so it wouldn't have mattered if they found you."
What Meng Huai didn't know was that the Mecha Engineering Department was in a panic when they didn't receive Meng Huai's transfer application. They thought she had gone to the Individual Combat Department, and with Meng Huai constantly following Teacher Wang recently, they might have even been persuaded by him.
Meanwhile, Teacher Wang's Individual Combat Department had already been rejected by Meng Huai and didn't bother with it.
Who would have known it would turn out this way!
So now both departments thought Meng Huai had gone to the other, unaware that Meng Huai was still in the Logistics Department!
Ju Yiqiu, who was in the know, remarked, "You're really something! Amazing."
To mess up something so important, there was no one else like her.
Although she was teasing, Ju Yiqiu still asked with concern, "What should we do? Why don't you talk to the teachers in the Mecha Engineering Department? I see they really want you. Even though the deadline has passed, if you go talk to them, you might be able to transfer directly!"
Meng Huai, however, shook her head. "Let's talk about it next year. I'll basically be spending this semester in the league anyway."
It was awkward to proactively approach them now, after the teachers had offered an exception and she hadn't gone. Moreover, the initial desire to transfer to the Mecha Engineering Department was to learn about mechas. But now that she had learned about them without transferring, it wasn't as crucial.
Meng Huai sat in her seat, observing the atmosphere of the Logistics Department. She felt it was alright; she'd stay for now.
"It's good not to have to study,"
Meng Huai said this, and Ju Yiqiu quickly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she felt relieved.
"Don't say things like that, you top student. What are people like us supposed to do!"
Meng Huai gave an awkward smile. "Alright."
However, the fact that Meng Huai was still in the Logistics Department eventually came to light. Teacher Wang casually asked, "Can you keep up with the classes in the Mecha Engineering Department? If not, you can always come to our Individual Combat Department."
Hearing this, Meng Huai thought: What's bound to happen will happen. I hope Teacher Wang can be merciful and not scold me too harshly.
Meng Huai touched her head, feigning a well-behaved expression, and said, "Hahaha... I'm still in the Logistics Department right now!"
Upon hearing this, it wasn't just Teacher Wang who was shocked; even Zheng Yiran and the others were astonished.
"What?"
"How are you still in the Logistics Department?"
"You didn't submit a transfer application?"
"You didn't transfer?"
Teacher Wang's reaction was delayed by a full second before he asked, "What exactly happened!"
Meng Huai said ingratiatingly, "Haha, I got the timing wrong. By the time I knew, the transfer application period had already passed."
Teacher Wang looked at Meng Huai's demeanor, truly having the urge to strangle her. But he said nothing at the moment, merely making a call to the teachers at the Mecha Engineering Department.
Once the call connected, he immediately launched into a tirade: "Meng Huai didn't submit her transfer application, and you didn't say anything! You constantly talk about recruiting this good student, this talented individual. I think you just talk the talk, but show no action!"
The teacher from the Mecha Engineering Department on the other end was also bewildered by Teacher Wang's outburst. What? Judging by his words...
The teacher from the Mecha Engineering Department also asked excitedly, "What!? Meng Huai didn't go to your Individual Combat Department?"
Teacher Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Why would she come to our Individual Combat Department? Wasn't it decided long ago that she would go to the Mecha Engineering Department!"
The teacher from the Mecha Engineering Department was equally unyielding, his demeanor not at all inferior to Teacher Wang's. "Who knew! We thought you had been in close contact with student Meng Huai recently and might have persuaded her."
Hearing the teacher from the Mecha Engineering Department say this, Teacher Wang became even more infuriated. If the phone in Teacher Wang's hand at that moment had been a mobile phone, he might have already thrown it.
But now he didn't want to waste any more words with the other party. "Got it. Goodbye!"
The teacher on the other end clearly didn't want to let it go so easily. "Hey, hey, hey, don't hang up. If student Meng Huai wants to come to our Mecha Engineering Department, I'll talk to the leadership!"
Teacher Wang would not respond on behalf of Meng Huai. He hung up the call first and then looked at Meng Huai, asking, "So, what do you think?"
"Let's talk about it next year."
"Okay, I understand. You guys continue training. I'm leaving now."
Teacher Wang left the training room, but as he was about to step out the door, he turned back and said, "Double training today!"
Teacher Wang left with an expression of "it's all for your own good."
However, after he left, Meng Huai was subjected to the brutal treatment of her teammates.
"It's all because of you, Meng Huai! Why did you provoke Teacher Wang?"
Just as Zheng Yiran and Rong Feiwen were feeling fortunate that they wouldn't have to train, Teacher Wang returned.
He called out their names specifically: "Zheng Yiran, Rong Feiwen, you two also get extra basic training! On the battlefield, no one cares if you have combat effectiveness as individual soldiers; at least you need self-preservation skills!"
Finally, Teacher Wang left the training room amidst a chorus of sighs.
The so-called basic training was fundamental for individual soldiers. For commanders and mecha pilots, who rarely underwent physical training, it was quite difficult.
Now, all four of them, united by common hatred, had Meng Huai by the neck.
"It's all your fault!"
"Why did you provoke Teacher Wang!"
Meng Huai could only beg for mercy. "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Just as the five of them were playfully roughhousing, there was a knock on the training room door.
"May I ask if student Meng Huai and student Zheng Yiran are here?"
Hearing this voice, all five of them looked towards the door. The person was wearing a military uniform, and judging by his epaulets, his rank was not low.
Seeing this person, the five of them quickly stood at attention.
Meng Huai and Zheng Yiran, whom he had asked about, also stepped forward in unison. "Are you looking for us?"
"Is there something you need?"
Zheng Yiran asked cautiously, while Meng Huai went straight to the point.
