Military training started.
The assembly call sounded just as the sky was beginning to lighten the next day, and the four occupants of the dormitory hurriedly got up.
Li Renzhe was so rushed that he didn’t even have time to wash his face, and he just went out with the crowd in a panic.
In contrast, Meng Zheng was calm and composed. It took him almost ten minutes to fold his quilt. He was the slowest in their group, and the others didn’t wait for him.
Zhao Yi and Fan Lei were the most organized, quickly getting ready and heading out the door.
They were in the first squad.
The instructor for the first squad was a slightly overweight, dark-skinned man who was shy and rarely spoke. He looked like an easy target, but in reality, he was an experienced veteran with the rank of ’squad leader’, while the instructors of other squads were mostly corporals or deputy corporals.
Other squads didn’t compete with the first squad for space.
Yanhua University was not a very large campus. Besides the open-air stadium, the areas available for military training were regular paths, the entrance to the library, the entrance to the cafeteria, and so on.
The dark, chubby instructor led the first squad to train on the road directly in front of them, where tall trees on both sides blocked most of the sunlight.
Looking at the students from other squads training under the scorching sun, the members of the first squad felt a significant increase in their goodwill towards their chubby instructor.
In truth, the chubby instructor did give special treatment to the first squad, or more accurately, to Zhao Yi.
A few professors had approached him to request that he take good care of Zhao Yi from the biological sciences major. The chubby instructor did not treat Zhao Yi differently as a squad leader, but it was permissible to look after him within the rules.
The students in the first squad spent most of their time training in shady areas and rested after each training session. When other squads were resting, they also quickly found a shady spot by the roadside.
Next to them was the second squad, whose students were constantly under the sun, casting envious, wistful glances in their direction.
Some dissatisfied students challenged the instructor of the second squad saying, "Why do they always train in the shade and get longer breaks than us?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The instructor coolly replied, "That’s my squad leader you’re referring to; I dare not question him. Do you want to try?"
"..."
The next day’s training included turning left and right, marching in step, and introducing marching in time. They had to select two students to lead at the front and shout the slogans.
Zhao Yi was chosen as the leader, which led to an awkward situation.
He walked awkwardly.
When marching in time, the leader has to shout the slogans while one hand performs the regular marching motion, and the other salutes. The actions of the two hands and feet need to be coordinated.
This action wasn’t that hard; some people learned it at a glance.
However, Zhao Yi discovered his weak point. He bumbled on multiple occasions when switching between the actions, even stumbling once.
"Pfff~"
"Hahaha~~"
"Yi bro, this is too funny! You did that on purpose, didn’t you!"
The voice was unmistakably Fan Lei’s.
"Get lost!"
Zhao Yi turned his face away with a scowl and went back into line. The chubby instructor was trying to hide a smile. He had no choice but to select another leader.
Next, Zhao Yi pondered about his movement problem.
Although the leader’s movements were quite simple, he felt incredibly awkward when he tried to execute them. He struggled to follow the slogans in real-time and wondered, "Could it be... because I’m too intelligent?"
"Single-threaded brain?"
"Yes!"
"Definitely!"
He comforted himself with this explanation and acted as if nothing happened, continuing his training.
This small incident made the other students feel closer to Zhao Yi.
Before this, many students didn’t talk to Zhao Yi because he didn’t seem like an ordinary student.
He was the top student from Nanjiang, scoring full marks in the College Entrance Examination.
He was a recognized genius in mathematics and computer science, conducting astonishing research and winning one international award after another.
It could be said.
They and Zhao Yi were not on the same level. They came to university to study, learn, and get a degree, but Zhao Yi was simply too young and ’should be in school.’ However, he could always decide not to study, and he wasn’t worried about his future at all. Some said the university was even considering offering him a professorship.
How could they compare?
When there’s such a significant gap in reality, it feels strange to strike up a conversation. Discovering that Zhao Yi also had flaws and wasn’t perfect made the others feel closer to him.
Yes!
Even though Zhao Yi had achieved a lot, he was still under twenty and a new university student, just like them.
When they took breaks during training, many students gathered around Zhao Yi to chat. Even the chubby instructor came over to gossip about Zhao Yi’s international award.
Zhao Yi also felt much more comfortable.
Actually, being a celebrity in one’s daily life had its drawbacks. Talking with people often felt strange. Having normal interactions was also important.
If people always looked at him with different eyes, even if these looks were filled with awe or surprise, it would become uncomfortable after a while.
The military training progressed rapidly.
After a full morning of practicing marching in step on the third day, they switched to learning military boxing, which uplifted the students’ spirits.
Zhao Yi performed well this time. With his greatly enhanced wisdom, his memory had become excellent.
The instructor merely demonstrated the movements once, and Zhao Yi basically learned everything.
Ten minutes into learning military boxing, a man rushed over from afar, yelling, "Zhao Yi! Zhao Yi!"
Zhao Yi turned his head to see Qian Zhijin, with a female instructor - Feng Ruixue from the first class - following him close behind.
