Drillmaster Zhou was smart. He knew how to make his request by leveraging on what Yun Jian wanted.
Yun Jian’s wish to enhance her capabilities was not discovered by the other instructors because she had hidden it well but the fact that Drillmaster Zhou took notice meant that his observation was meticulous and he was smart.
“Hey, Zhou Zhiren, you crazy? They’re happy and free as students. Why would they go to places like the hunting school? That’s not where a human should be! The mortality rate is high too and it’s already one’s luck if one could be chased back from failing the training halfway through.”
“She’s a nice girl. Why on earth would she go to a place like that? It’ll kill her!”
One of the instructors who heard what Drillmaster Zhou told Yun Jian nagged him at once while the other instructors thought what this particular instructor said made sense. All of them thought that Drillmaster Zhou was spewing nonsense. Which girl would want to go to a place like that?
Kids nowadays, specifically, preferred to enjoy their lives. No one would like suffering in a place like that where anything could happen to them anytime.
Moreover, there was no way out once they joined the hunting school. There, unless one was thrown out for failing the assessments, they had to stay in there even if it meant that they would die!
“Young lady, don’t listen to his bullsh*t. That’s not a place you can go but we’d like to ask for your favor for this outdoor survival activity…” a drillmaster who stood on the side told Yun Jian with a smile.
Yun Jian cut him off directly and spoke loud and clear to the instructors there, “I agree to watch over the other students to my best ability in the outdoor survival event but if something happens because they don’t listen to me, it’s got nothing to do with me. Also, the premise to this is that you have to fight for the quota for me to go to the hunting school after I join the elite class.”
Yun Jian was not a little girl without any experience in life. Since Drillmaster Zhou had made his request, she would not extend her help if they could not promise that she could get what she wanted.
While Drillmaster Zhou sighed at Yun Jian’s brilliance, he did not forget to answer her, “Sure! I promise.”
“Mn, I’ll make a move first then.” Yun Jian looked at Drillmaster Zhou out of the corner of her eye before turning to leave toward where Mu Ying and Lin Yuan had gone off to.
Drillmaster Zhou who stood on the spot shook his head with a laugh only after Yun Jian left. “The impressive younger generation, got to give it to the youngsters now! We’ve gotten old! Sigh…”
…
Mu Ying and Lin Yuan had already collected their equipment—a tent, the camouflage print uniform, food, and water. They stood standing for Yun Jian and saw someone walking over.
“Yun Jian, over here!” Lin Yuan waved at Yun Jian.
Lin Yuan sat with Mu Ying and the two of them got along.
“Go collect your equipment.” Mu Ying patted her military rucksack softly.
It was just a rucksack but it could keep quite a number of things. The equipment given earlier was all kept in it.
Yun Jian nodded and went to the teacher who was distributing the equipment.
“Oh, what did the drillmaster tell you just now when he asked you to stay?” Lin Shuya stopped Yun Jian halfway through her walk and asked her in a strange sarcastic tone.
“Trash wouldn’t have to know. If I were you, I’d be more self-aware and shrink into myself to scram farther away,” Yun Jian paused and turned to tell Lin Shuya in a rather good mood instead of ignoring her.
Lin Shuya was nearly frenzied in rage at the reply but when she realized that Yun Jian had actually insulted her, the latter had already walked away.
