The squad leader didn’t agree to Ye Jian’s request immediately. He pondered for a moment before replying, “I need to report this first. You can rest here first. I…”
“Class Three’s squad leader, come over for a moment.” A loud and clear male voice was heard. The Chief Instructor, who was in charge of the new students, strode over. “Bring your new student, Ye Jian, to Training Field One. Hurry!”
Ye Jian was standing beside the squad leader. Hearing this, she saluted the chief instructor and reported, “New student Ye Jian, report!”
“You…” The gaze of the chief instructor, who received the instructions from the general affairs department, swept over.
Ye Jian? Her voice was strong but she was a little skinny. The Chief Instructor seemed to want to say something. He paused for a moment and said, “Okay, go to Training Field One and complete the tests with Class Six. Then, rush back to finish the afternoon tests!”
Ye Jian didn’t even need to mention it. The school arranged for her to complete the test as soon as possible.
After speaking, he turned to the squad leader of Class Three and said, “Call a few students over to take down the scores. Class Six is conducting their tests now. She needs a scorer.”
“Yes!” The squad leader turned around and called some students. “The few of you, follow the Chief Instructor.”
The boys’ expressions turned a little stiff. They had just said that the new student didn’t come for military training because she was from a high official’s family. In the end… they were being taken away by the Chief Instructor.
When they stood up, the boys’ faces were pale.
Once the few of them left with the Chief Instructor, the rest of the students were surprised. The squad leader explained, “Ye Jian will complete the morning tests before coming back later to complete the afternoon tests.”
“That can’t be. Immediately going for the afternoon tests after completing the morning tests… I only know that her results are amazing. I didn’t know that she could do this too.”
“Whether she can or not, she has to take the tests.” The expression of the senior squad leader changed instantly. His expression turned cold as he shouted at the students who still had five minutes of rest. “You can still talk about other people. It looks like you are quite energetic. Everyone, stand up!”
None of the students dared to say a word. They stood up one by one.
“Since you’re so energetic, stand in military stance for half an hour.” There was nothing else, he only asked them to stand in military stance. The squad leader was quite ruthless. “Don’t move your hands. Your head must be straight and your feet must be aligned! Open your eyes and look forward properly.”
Standing in a military stance was also called ‘stand at attention’. It was the first lesson for every soldier when they entered the military.
It was the same for the cadets. It could be said that standing at attention was the mother of all military movements. The significance behind it was quite deep.
Ye Jian had been training for more than five years. Normally, she would stand for two hours every day. When she stood, her military posture and military appearance immediately surpassed the male students standing behind her.
The male students couldn’t tell the difference between her and them but the chief instructor could tell at a glance. He nodded secretly and signaled Ye Jian to start the test.
In the office of the general affairs department, Xia Jinyuan was talking to his former form teacher. “It’s good to let her follow her classmates to finish the tests today. The students these days are not as well-behaved as we used to be. All of them have their own ideas.”
“She didn’t participate in the military training and suddenly reported in. There will be some criticism. You once taught us that power is always the strongest defense. Let her use her power to resist the criticism.”
The head of the department looked at his most outstanding student who graduated five years ago. He laughed and said, “You are still the same as before. That’s right. At that time, you used this method to respond to the students that criticized you.”
