Military Training Begins

September 2nd, the weather was as scorching hot as ever.

The students of Hangcheng University officially began their military training.

At 6 AM, Xiao Bei was already up. As the class monitor, he needed to coordinate with Qin Mengxue to wake up the male students in the dorms.

Wang Meina was responsible for the female dorms.

Around 7 AM, everyone from Finance Class 1 had gathered below the male dormitory building.

The main pathway of the dormitory building was filled with class formations, all dressed in navy military training uniforms.

Even so, Xiao Bei still stood out in the crowd. His good looks were undeniable, especially since he was at the front of the formation, holding the flag.

At 7:30 AM, instructors began walking onto the field, all looking exceptionally handsome.

They lined up by class and were assigned to their respective formations.

Soon, an instructor about 1.78 meters tall, wearing training gear, walked up to Xiao Bei.

He marched in step and stopped in front of Xiao Bei.

"Is this Finance Class 1?"

The instructor asked Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei held great respect for soldiers and immediately replied seriously, "Yes, Instructor!"

Xiao Bei stood at attention, responding loudly to the instructor.

The instructor looked at Xiao Bei and smiled slightly, "Classmate, what's your name? It hasn't started yet, relax a bit!"

After speaking, the instructor patted Xiao Bei's shoulder. It was clear the instructor had a good first impression of Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei maintained his respectful demeanor and said, "Reporting, Instructor, my name is Xiao Bei. Xiao from portrait, Bei from the north."

"Alright, Xiao Bei, return to your position!"

"Yes."

Xiao Bei went directly to the front of the formation to stand.

The girls in Finance Class 1 looked at Xiao Bei, their eyes filled with adoration.

"Wow, the class monitor is so handsome!"

"I thought a second-generation rich kid like the class monitor would be hard to get along with, but he's so serious!"

"So, someone richer than you is also more diligent. Such an outstanding class monitor is in our class!"

While the girls were discussing, among the boys, aside from some of the shut-ins, a few guys from one dorm looked at Xiao Bei with disdain.

"What's he trying to show off for, I'm really impressed!"

"Exactly, acting like he's the real representative of our class!"

"Adi, what do you think, should we make him look foolish later?"

"Definitely. Damn, I'm a bit annoyed with him. Unless he's stronger than me, is being rich and handsome enough to eat?"

The few of them whispered amongst themselves.

Qin Mengxue had also arrived by the Class 1 formation early and saw Xiao Bei's performance.

She smiled slightly inwardly, thinking this student was indeed a bit different.

She felt very reassured leaving Class 1 in his hands.

She then walked over to Xiao Bei.

"Xiao Bei, I'll go check on Class 2 first. Can you manage Class 1?" Qin Mengxue asked Xiao Bei with a smile.

Qin Mengxue today was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a white hat on her head, and sweatpants and sneakers on her lower body, giving her a capable appearance.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bei smiled at Qin Mengxue, "Old Qin, don't worry, I'll definitely manage it well for you!"

Xiao Bei wouldn't miss any opportunity to show off.

"Okay, contact me if anything comes up. I feel most at ease with your Class 1."

Qin Mengxue glanced at Xiao Bei, then walked over to the instructor and said something, before leaving.

As soon as Qin Mengxue left, the instructor came to the front of the Class 1 formation.

"Hello everyone, I am your instructor for the next month. My name is Gao Peng. You can call me Instructor Gao. We're about to enter the field, so I'll go over some important points..."

Blah blah blah, Gao Peng said a lot, then closed his mouth and stood aside, watching for instructions.

Soon, it was 8 AM.

The formations began to enter the field one after another. Class 1, where Xiao Bei was, was assigned a poor position on the basketball court, with no shade nearby, leaving everyone fully exposed to the sun!

At 9 AM, the military training officially began.

The intensity on the first day wasn't high; it mainly focused on practicing basic stances, assembly, and detailed instructions.

The entire morning session lasted only half an hour before concluding.

But one by one, the girls started complaining. They were all wilted!

There was a one-hour break at noon.

Soon, the afternoon military training began.

The afternoon session was significantly more intense. First, they practiced formations, then standing posture.

Everyone stood under the sun, getting baked!

They couldn't move at all.

Time ticked by, second by second. Slowly, people started to falter. The first to collapse was one of the girls.

Then it was like a chain reaction.

One by one, the girls started falling. The first boy to collapse wasn't anyone else but Hu Jilong. After falling, he even winked at Xiao Bei.

His meaning was clear: if you can't take it, just give up.

Xiao Bei knew that if this were the Anti-Japanese War, this guy would probably be a traitor!

Another 20 minutes passed. A large portion of the boys had also collapsed, sitting wherever they fell, watching the remaining nine people.

Among them, Wang Wei and Zhang Zhibo from Xiao Bei's dorm were still holding strong.

Then there were Cai Qizhou, Cai Shidi, Lin Haojie, and Zhang Zhenan from dorm 404!

Ye Xiaotao and Zhu Yu from dorm 402.

The four from dorm 404 were the ones who harbored hostility towards Xiao Bei.

Now, they hadn't expected that Xiao Bei, who looked like a pretty boy, could endure this long.

Another 10 minutes passed, and only Xiao Bei and Cai Qizhou remained on the field.

Off the field, Cai Shidi, Lin Haojie, and Zhang Zhenan watched the two standing on the field.

"Damn, that Xiao Bei kid has some substance. Look at him, his face is unchanged, he's not even panting. He seems like the real deal!"

"Let's see who falls first, him or Cai Qizhou!"

"But, I'm starting to not hate Xiao Bei so much now!"

Yes, that's how it is between guys. If they don't like you at first, but you prove to be stronger than them, they won't say anything.

Another 5 minutes passed, and Cai Qizhou couldn't hold on any longer. Finally, Xiao Bei was the only one left on the field.

Instantly, the students of Class 1 started applauding Xiao Bei.

Even the four guys from dorm 404, who had been at odds with Xiao Bei initially, couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.

"Xiao Bei!" Instructor Gao suddenly called out.

"Here!" Xiao Bei stood rigidly, responding to the instructor with a loud voice.

"Rest in place. Everyone, rest in place for half an hour!"

"Yes!"

As the instructor gave the order, Xiao Bei also stretched his muscles.

It was the first day, and the instructor probably wanted to give them a taste of his authority. His methods were very strict, showing no leniency at all.

After resting, Xiao Bei looked at the Class 1 students sitting on the ground.

They all looked exhausted.

So, Xiao Bei turned and walked towards the outside of the training ground.

"Fourth, where are you going?"

Hu Jilong watched Xiao Bei's retreating figure.

Xiao Bei didn't reply; he just started running.

Everyone watched Xiao Bei's disappearing back, a sense of bewilderment washing over them.
