Chapter 5 Military Training
As the first rays of dawn broke through the city, the entire city began to come alive.
The first-year high school students changed into their uniform camouflage uniforms and rushed to the playground with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, ready to embark on a two-week military training program that is said to "transform" them.
After a day of "getting to know each other," the four fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girls in dormitory 309, even Qin Weiwei, put aside her pride.
The initial awkwardness and unease gradually transformed into a close bond between roommates.
Upon hearing the assembly bell, the students rushed to the playground and found their respective classrooms to stand in line.
Jiang Songchu, dressed in a crisp military training uniform, stood on the playground where the morning light was just beginning to break.
The green of her military training uniform complemented her youthful spirit, adding a touch of heroic charm while retaining her girlish gentleness.
Beneath her military cap, her jet-black hair was neatly tied back, revealing part of her smooth forehead and her clear, watery eyes.
Her eyes held both determination and courage, yet also sparkled with girlish innocence and liveliness, making one exclaim: This girl is both beautiful and cool!
Jiang Songchu's face was exquisitely beautiful. The collar of her military training uniform was slightly open, revealing her slender neck, which made her look even more elegant.
Her nose was straight, and her lips were slightly pursed, exuding a formidable determination and confidence.
Even in this rather plain military training uniform, her innate beauty and temperament cannot be concealed.
Jiang Songchu practiced the ancient martial arts manuals of the Jiang family from a young age and possessed remarkable skills.
At this moment, she was curiously observing the modern military training, wondering to herself: how exactly is this modern military training different from the ancient military training her father led?
At this moment, Instructor Li, a burly soldier with sharp eyes, made his appearance.
He stood at the front of the group, his voice booming like thunder in summer, announcing the various regulations and precautions for military training.
The students listened intently, afraid of missing a single word the instructor said.
As training began, the students started the most basic training under the scorching sun—standing at attention.
Although autumn has begun in Nanlin City in September, its coastal location means the sun is still scorching.
The students were drenched in sweat, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered.
However, a few girls stood there looking dazed, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
When Jiang Songchu first encountered this modern military-style training, he discovered that the movements demonstrated by the instructors were remarkably similar to the "standing stance" and "horse stance" in ancient martial arts.
A sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, and she began to try to combine the movement techniques of martial arts with military training movements.
Sure enough, her movements were not only smoother and more natural, but also appeared exceptionally relaxed and at ease.
Looking at the group of fifteen- or sixteen-year-old freshmen, Instructor Li thought to himself: They can only stand for another ten minutes at most before they reach their limit.
However, when his eyes swept over Jiang Songchu, he was surprised to find that this beautiful girl not only had perfect movements, but also a clean forehead without a drop of sweat.
He couldn't help but think: This is a good prospect, I must show him to the new recruits!
Then he pointed at Jiang Songchu and shouted, "You, step forward! Stand here!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu immediately took a straight step and stood in the position designated by Instructor Li.
Her posture was like that of a tall pine tree, which made people admire her.
This commotion not only attracted the attention of instructors from other formations, but even the head instructor looked over curiously.
Upon seeing it, he was almost speechless with astonishment.
Could this girl be the child of some soldier? Her movements are so precise.
Jiang Songchu stood before the crowd, completely unaware of how many eyes she had attracted.
Next, everyone started practicing basic movements: turning left and right, turning forward and backward, squatting and standing up, etc., and Jiang Songchu still performed flawlessly.
Suddenly, the system announced: "Chu Chu, you have a new task! During military training, please demonstrate your martial arts skills to inspire everyone's interest in ancient martial arts. Completing the task will grant you one lucky draw and 200 experience points!"
The system's sudden voice almost made Jiang Songchu lose her composure, but after hearing what the system said, she felt very happy.
This task wasn't difficult for her, as martial arts were something she was good at and skilled at. However, how should she demonstrate her ancient martial arts skills?
Just as I was pondering this, Instructor Li's loud voice rang out again.
"You can't keep going, huh? You have to keep going even if you don't want to!"
"You're only physically tired now, but think about the next three years of high school life—that'll be mentally exhausting!"
"Without good health, how can we ensure our brains function properly! Please persevere!"
Then, Instructor Li dropped another bombshell: "I have some good news to tell you all!"
"No. 39 Middle School and the neighboring Experimental Middle School will hold a joint competition on the last day of military training. Let's see which school will win the title of best formation in this year's military training!"
"Of course, there are also our outstanding students! Would you really admit defeat to the neighboring experimental middle school or the class next door?"
As soon as Instructor Li finished speaking, the students of Class 3, Grade 11 began to shout, "No way!"
Instructor Li asked with dissatisfaction, "Is that a mosquito buzzing? It's so quiet!"
So everyone shouted, "No way!!!"
That sound resounded through the heavens!
Instructor Li smiled with satisfaction, glanced at his watch, and said, "That's all for this morning. Line up! Proceed to the canteen for lunch in order, then head to your dormitories to rest. We'll continue on the parade ground at 2 PM!"
At lunchtime, Jiang Songchu ate sweet and sour pork ribs, braised shrimp with scallions, and stir-fried lettuce with garlic, her eyes squinting with happiness.
In ancient times, there weren't so many kinds of seasonings. What makes her happiest after coming to the modern world is being able to eat all kinds of delicious food.
The afternoon training session remained intense yet well-organized.
After the training ended, the head instructor informed everyone that they should also gather on the playground for training every evening.
However, well-trained formations can rest, while those that fail to meet training standards need to continue training.
Because of Jiang Songchu's exemplary behavior, Class 3 of Grade 11 are all practicing hard.
Hard work certainly pays off! That's why they were the first to be granted the right to rest.
At this moment, Instructor Li said with a smile, "Let's all introduce ourselves, and then we'll play a game. The loser has to perform a talent!"
Upon hearing this, the E people began to get restless, wanting to unleash their social skills; while the I people trembled with fear, afraid that it would be their turn.
Jiang Songchu's eyes lit up: Isn't this the opportunity?
