Chapter 104: Cousin, I’m Coming Out
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was a drizzling morning, marking the beginning of a new week. Wang Ye and his fellow classmates from Class Five stood on the training ground, their bodies held straight and motionless.
In truth, it wasn’t just the fifth squad; all the recruits in the company were in the sa position.
Nine classes stood in rows, separated by a small distance on the track of the training ground, forming a unique assembly line for the formation assessnt.
Last week had been mostly filled with queueing, with the exception of the first day’s rain training. This week, the recruits had co to understand the truth behind the saying that the most comfortable ti was always in the past.
The military posture sessions seed to stretch endlessly, with the duration increasing increntally until their bodies would cramp up.
The repetitive steps of the stride, the start, and the jog left their soles numb.
Turning and turning again until dizziness set in.
Furthermore, the class leaders subjected them to various strenuous exercises, making it a week they’d rather not reminisce about.
Fortunately, they had endured until this day – the day of the formation assessnt. After today’s evaluation, the formation training ti would likely be significantly reduced, making way for other subjects.
After all, despite being soldiers, many of them had never even seen a gun before.
In Class 5, Wang Ye maintained the most precise and standard military posture, gazing straight ahead with unwavering focus and not even blinking.
The first event of the formation assessnt was a grueling three-hour session of military posture.
Wang Ye was determined not to make any mistakes, striving for the honor of being a pacesetter. While it wasn’t an official mission from the system, he believed that excelling in this aspect would contribute to becoming a model soldier, a prerequisite for the system’s missions.
The rain persisted during the three-hour session. Sweat mixed with rainwater on Wang Ye’s forehead, occasionally dripping from his eyelids and lashes. Despite the discomfort, no one budged from their positions.
Ye Sanshi had prepared for the rainy days by fetching water for the recruits while they held their military stance. The unusual training thod of taking off their hats to drink water and pouring so over their heads ensured that Class 5 maintained their military posture remarkably well, even in the rain.
As ti passed, the squad leaders and company commanders vigilantly observed everyone, with particular attention to the performance of other squads. The competition was fierce, as each class vied for the coveted first place, knowing that only one could achieve it and others would face elimination.
Finally, the mont arrived when the three hours were up, and the company commander blew his whistle. A surge of inexplicable joy filled the hearts of all the new recruits, feeling as if they had been reborn after enduring such a rigorous challenge.
For those who had never experienced standing in military posture or being on sentry duty, it was challenging to comprehend the feelings associated with it. Ti seed to blur when standing still for three hours, making it difficult to gauge how long they had actually been in position. But the mont the announcent of completion ca, the recruits understood the relief and accomplishnt that washed over them.
“At ease! Attention! Dismissed!” The command signaled the end of the military posture assessnt, but the overall formation assessnt was not yet complete. The rest of the formation exercises would take place in the afternoon.
The recruits were allowed to return to their dormitories for a break. Ye Sanshi asked Wang Ye to supervise the group and reminded them not to run around or cause any disturbances on their way back.
anwhile, Ye Sanshi, along with the other squad leaders, had to attend a eting at the company commander’s office.
During the eting, the results of the morning’s military posture assessnt were revealed. Each class received their scores based on their performance. Additionally, the two recruits with the best military posture in the morning would be selected as candidates for the formation model.
“The scores for the morning assessnt for each class are as follows: Class One received 28.5 points, Class Two got 27 points, Class Three received 28.5 points, Class Four scored 28 points, and Class Five received 28.5 points…”
As the company commander announced the results, so squad leaders displayed displeased expressions, while others maintained a neutral deanor. The competition was fierce, and the scores reflected the subtle differences in performance between the classes.
One thing was certain: when the recruits returned to their dormitories after the assessnt, there would be a lot of cursing and frustration. Not achieving a perfect score of 30 points ant that mistakes were made, and those who were responsible for the mistakes would face criticism.
In Class Five, Ye Shi imdiately began venting his frustration upon returning. He singled out Qin Li, berating him for his performance.
“Qin Li, are you a fucking pig? What are you looking at? If you lose points again in the afternoon assessnt, you’ll be cleaning the toilets for the entire week. And not just that, you’ll voluntarily get into the manure pit to pick up feces!” Embarrassed, Qin Li kept his head down and had nothing to say. He had alone had been responsible for the deducted one point out of the 1.5 points total deduction for Class Five. There was no explanation, and the reason was recorded by the class monitor during the assessnt. Everyone knew who had lost points.
Ye Sanshi then turned his attention to Zhang Ping ‘an. He scolded him too, expressing frustration with his behavior.
“You too, Zhang Ping ‘an. Why are you so careless? Can a mosquito bite you to death if it lands on your face?”
Class Five only had two mbers who lost points, Qin Li and Zhang Ping’an. Qin Li had been caught twice for looking around during the assessnt, a recurring problem he had. Ye Sanshi had previously punished him for it, but it seed ineffective.
As for Zhang Ping ‘an, he had so bad luck this ti. A mosquito flew toward his face during the assessnt, and he tried to shoo it away, but he was seen doing so. As a result, his points were deducted.
Though the mosquito sucked his blood, leaving a small red mark on his face, Zhang Ping’an still had to bear the deduction of points as a consequence.
“Alright, let’s focus on performing well in the afternoon assessnt,” Ye Sanshi addressed the class, moving on from the previous scolding. He then announced the candidates for the role models in their class during the morning assessnt, naming Wang Ye and Deng Hai.
Upon hearing their nas, all eyes turned to Wang Ye and Deng Hai, with special attention on Deng Hai, who had shown remarkable improvent since drinking the tobacco tea. His diligence and disciplined behavior were evident, making him seem like a different person compared to before.
Although Deng Hai used to be quite lively and active in class, he now appeared more reserved and distant from Class 5, which raised so curiosity among his peers.
“I will work hard!” Wang Ye responded with determination but didn’t elaborate further. He knew that Deng Hai might still harbor so resentnt toward him, but that wouldn’t deter him from doing his best.
Wang Ye had put considerable effort into training the class, honing his military posture skills to the maximum level of level 4. As long as he remained focused, his military posture would be impeccable, and no one could find any fault with it.
Regardless of any personal grudges, Wang Ye remained committed to his duties and strived to excel as a role model for the class.
In such a situation, what was Wang Ye afraid of?
After dinner, Ye Sanshi instructed everyone to take a nap. The afternoon assessnt focused not only on their physical performance but also on their ntal state, making it an essential part of the evaluation. Those who skipped the nap would have points deducted, which seed unfair.
“Shh, shh! Class One, gather!”
The afternoon assessnt differed from the morning session. This ti, all the class monitors had to participate, being evaluated on various aspects, including posture, movents, ntal appearance, and the clarity of their passwords.
This information had been kept a secret from everyone in Class Five until Wu Jianfeng announced the assessnt rules, and it was evident that Ye Sanshi had been aware of it all along.
Wang Ye felt a sense of frustration building up within him. Ye Sanshi had never insisted on getting first place in the class this week, only encouraging them to strive for it. Furthermore, unlike other classes, there were no explicit consequences for not securing the top position, leading to a false sense of relief among the students.
As the truth unfolded, the mood in Class Five beca tense, and all eyes turned towards Ye Sanshi, wondering how he would handle the situation.
Fuck, so the problem rested with him.
Being a native of Xi Guang, Ye Sanshi managed to communicate effectively even when speaking Mandarin and giving commands. However, his Mandarin accent carried a distinct Xi Guang flavor that couldn’t be altered. As a result, the commands he shouted during assessnts didn’t sound appropriate. For instance, one might mishear a comnt to sound like “Cousin, I’m coming out!” due to the accent.
Although everyone in the group had grown accustod to this, and it didn’t hinder communication and training, the new recruits in the fifth squad were unaware of the line-up assessnt. The squad leader’s unclear commands would lead to a deduction of points for the entire team..
