Chapter 110 Steel-Tooth Hedgehog
Wen Le was lucky. He arrived at the school an hour before the time specified on the notice and successfully registered. Finally, the tragedy that his friends said did not happen.
The teacher at the registration office pulled up Wen Le's file and glanced at it. He looked up at Wen Le with a hint of surprise and said, "Are you Wen Le? The seventeen-year-old three-star therapist?"
I don't know why this sounded awkward, but Wen Le nodded anyway: "It's me."
A female teacher nearby came over and said, "I look younger than I do in the video. I don't even look seventeen."
Wen Le: "..." He didn't know how to respond to this. Did he look that old in the video? Unable to respond, he could only smile at the female teacher.
I don't say anything, I just smile at you~
"Ahem!" The male teacher who greeted Wen Le coughed, pretending not to notice Wen Le's embarrassment. He said, "Your dormitory is Room 502, Building A. I've already sent you the key code. From now on, this code will be your key to the door. You must remember it well, because everyone's key code is different. Don't expect others to tell you."
"Also, our school doesn't charge tuition. If someone tells you they need to pay, they're most likely a scammer. I suggest you take a picture of their face and submit it to the school's Audit Department for processing. As for special tuition and miscellaneous fees, a detailed list will be sent to your laptop, and your homeroom teacher will explain it specifically." The male teacher said, "Go to the Logistics Department later to pick up your school uniform. Starting tomorrow, you must wear your school uniform while on campus. Do you understand?"
Wen Le nodded hurriedly. He had to understand that. He just didn't know why it was a school uniform. Shouldn't it be a military uniform? He just tossed the idea around in his head. If he had any questions, he'd ask Lily later. It was the explanation about the scammer that left him speechless. Who was so bold as to con a military academy student? Did they think they'd lived too long?
"Oh, by the way, I've already sent the 'Student Conduct Handbook' to your laptop. It has detailed instructions," the male teacher said suddenly, thinking of something. "I suggest you memorize all the behavioral guidelines and precautions in the handbook, so you don't break school rules in the future without realizing it. Young man, don't take it lightly. If something like this gets serious, it could be fatal."
Wen Le: “…” He was frightened on the first day.
"Since you're a freshman and have been seriously injured before, the school will give you three days off. If you have anything that needs to be addressed or handled, do it quickly during these three days to avoid affecting training."
The male teacher finished what he had to say and let Wen Le go: "Okay, I'm done. Hurry up and go to the logistics department to get your things, otherwise you'll have to wait until tomorrow when they get off work."
"Yes!" Wen Le gave the other person a nonsensical military salute and ran off. Based on his previous experience living on campus, if he showed up too late to get his stuff, he might end up sleeping on a bare bed tonight. Lily had mentioned a while ago that when she first arrived, she didn't get her stuff because the logistics staff had gone off duty too late. As a result, she slept on a bare bed all night and woke up the next day with aches all over her body.
Wen Le doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of his friends.
"Hey, do you think this kid can do it?" After Wen Le left, the two teachers at the registration office had a discussion around him.
The male teacher looked at Wen Le's file and said with a smile, "Who knows? Since he was specially recruited, he must have some strengths. The school wouldn't be so stupid as to recruit a useless guy and take up resources."
The female teacher said, "That Hans is becoming more and more overbearing. He actually pushed such a promising military doctor into the combat department, forcing a weak kid to train with a bunch of roughnecks. Isn't he just waiting to be defeated?"
"Why are you worrying about that? If you can't adapt, you'll naturally transfer to the medical department," the male teacher said with a smile. He said this, but in his heart he was gloating: Now the combat department is going to have a good show.
He didn't believe Wen Le was the soft lamb he had just shown himself to be, waiting to be bullied by the animals. Even sheep had steel teeth and would definitely bite if pushed into a corner.
…
"Boss, the mission failed." In a certain base, a subordinate said to a man standing by the window looking at the sea view, "Not only did the target survive, but he also exposed what we had on Planet 2."
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from the boss, the subordinate couldn't help but secretly glance up at him, then quickly lowered his eyelids and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?"
"Wait," the other party lazily replied. If Wen Le were present, hearing this man's voice, he would have known he was the leader of the previous hijacking. He was resentful of Wen Le for ruining their plans, so he set up a plan to eliminate him. However, Wen Le was lucky enough not only to survive, but also to expose the bugs they had been raising on Tianmei Star.
"Interesting." Did they think they could do nothing to that baby now that they were in the military academy and had the military's protection? Humph, there were plenty of military academy students who died in accidents while on missions. I just wondered if I'd be lucky enough to escape danger next time.
Wen Le had no idea he was being targeted by a wolf. When he found the logistics department, they were just about to get off work. Even a minute later, they wouldn't have picked up his things. Wen Le secretly thought it was a close call; he almost had to sleep on the bed that night.
After collecting his belongings, Wen Le headed to his dorm. Even with a map, it took him until dark to find his dorm. He frantically searched his laptop for the key and code to open the door. Inside, there were only four bare beds and nothing else. The layout of the dorm was somewhat similar to his college dorms. Compared to the dorms at Shaohua College, the military academy dorms were simply spartan. The only upside was a private bathroom, eliminating the need for crowded public restrooms.
The other three beds were occupied, and the quilts on them were folded into square tofu blocks and placed in the same direction. Wen Le felt that if he measured them with a ruler, perhaps even the positions and angles of the quilts would be the same. They were so neat that it didn't look like a place where people lived.
The other three roommates were probably away on missions. Wen Le was also happy to have some quiet time. He had been on a spaceship for a week, and then rushed back to report, making a mess. Now that he had a break, he was exhausted and wanted to rest. It was really nice not to have to deal with his roommates for a while.
…
After a night's rest, Wen Le woke up in the morning full of energy to greet the new day. He stretched and glanced at the other three beds. The quilts were still there. He hadn't heard anything last night, so he guessed they hadn't returned yet.
Wen Le recalled that he had learned to fold the quilt into tofu blocks during military training, but because he was not proficient in the technique, he could not do it no matter what. In the end, it turned out to be a mess. Compared with the quilts folded by his other three roommates, the quilt he folded was even uglier, like a pumpkin, and it was badly damaged.
Wen Le coughed uncomfortably and decided not to embarrass himself. He comforted himself that when he learned how to do it, he would be able to fold the quilt so neatly.
After a quick wash, Wen Le pulled out the new school uniform he'd received yesterday and planned to change into it. Having arrived so late and tired, he hadn't bothered to look at what the uniform looked like. But when he unwrapped it, he saw it was a standard military uniform. Then, recalling what the teacher had mentioned during registration yesterday, he was speechless.
"Teacher, how can you look down on people? You can't exclude them from the ranks of the military just because they're still students, right? Why did you have to call it a school uniform when it's just a military uniform? He even misunderstood yesterday. As expected, you can only trust 50% of what the teacher says, and you have to guess the other 50%.
After changing his clothes, Wen Le turned around happily. It goes without saying that the combat uniform looked so handsome on him that he felt that he had reached a new level of handsomeness.
After a moment of self-absorption, Wen Le finally remembered he needed to fill his stomach. He had arrived in such a hurry that he hadn't brought anything with him, so he had to go out to find something to eat. The cafeteria here opened at a set time and closed after that time. Those who missed the time would have to wait for the next meal. So Wen Le's first thought was to find a cafeteria. Fortunately, he still had three days of vacation, so he had free time and could take his time.
…
After filling his stomach, Wen Le finally had the energy to do other things. He first called Yu Tang and asked him to sell his clinic and move it to the Imperial Capital Star. He wouldn't be leaving for the next few years, so opening a clinic on the Pentagram wouldn't be appropriate. It was too far away for him to manage.
When Yu Tang received Wen Le's call asking him to sell his clinic, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he'd be out of a job. But then, unexpectedly, not only was he out of a job, but he was also going to the Imperial Capital Star. He was instantly delighted. This was rapid progress. Even if the Pentagram was better, it couldn't compare to the Imperial Capital Star. Next time he had a class reunion, he could brag about where he worked when people asked him.
Wen Leke had no idea what was going on in the other person's mind. After explaining everything to Yu Tang, he planned to go out for a walk to familiarize himself with the area and see if there was a suitable shop to open a clinic. The Imperial Capital Military Management School also had weekly holidays, so when he wasn't training, he could come to the clinic to earn some extra money. If that didn't work out, he could just go back to selling potions as before. No matter how busy he was, he could always find time to make potions.
Wen Le didn't yet know that their instructor was a renowned school demon, a training freak who had no time for a side job. He also had to study Teacher Hu's lessons, so busy he almost felt like he was being split into eight pieces. But that didn't stop him from envisioning a bright future.
The three-day holiday passed in a flash.
Wen Le went to the Academic Affairs Office to cancel his leave according to the instructions in the handbook, so that the school would assign him a class and instructor.
I don't know if it was Teacher Hu's arrangement, but Wen Le and Lily were actually assigned to the same class. They were so surprised to see each other, but because the instructor was present, they didn't have to stage a dramatic reunion. They just held it in and waited until after class.
The instructor's surname was Li, and his given name was Hans. He was said to have Central European ancestry. This was particularly evident in Instructor Li, with his high nose, deep eyes, and towering build. His well-tailored combat uniform gave him an air of restraint, and the strong scent of blood he carried from years of frontline combat couldn't be masked. This, in turn, made him brimming with masculine hormones, imbued with charm. He might even come across as a bit terrifying.
"Classmates, this is your new classmate Wen Le. He will be your comrade from now on. I hope you can all get along well."
Instructor Li briefly introduced Wen Le to the students. As soon as he finished speaking, the students began to murmur in disbelief. He'd just enrolled so late, and landed in Class A. Who would believe he didn't have connections? And looking at his skinny appearance, he must be just a figurehead. Wouldn't that just hold them back?
The sudden arrival of a transfer student was already frustrating, and the addition of a gilded idiot naturally made them even more dissatisfied. They had expended so much effort and energy to secure a spot; it was like climbing a narrow bridge. Take Class A, for example. The entire combat department fought tooth and nail just to get in. They had fought so hard to get in, and now someone had gotten in without any effort at all. How could they possibly reconcile?
It's normal to be dissatisfied.
"Do you want to rebel?" Instructor Li shouted. "If you have something to say, say it out loud! You're not a man if you can only mutter!"
Everyone looked at each other, jostling for a moment before the class monitor finally stepped in and declared, "Report! We don't accept!" Why did they have to work so hard to get a spot while others got it effortlessly? And since this person had only just arrived after so long in the school term, their attitude was questionable. What if this person held them back during the end-of-year assessment? Was their entire class going to be judged poorly?
"Don't accept it?" Instructor Li sneered, "Do you think that just because you're in Class A you're number one in the world and no one can compare to you?"
The squad leader stiffened his neck and said, "Report, I didn't!"
"Then what are you dissatisfied with?" Instructor Li glanced at him with his eyelids raised. "Do you still think that the new students are necessarily inferior to you? Everything I said to you before was just a lie, right?"
After saying this, he turned around and saw Wen Le, the person involved, watching the show with great interest. It seemed that he was the monkey being fooled. Instructor Li felt that his temper was about to break down and shouted, "Wen Le!"
"Here!" Wen Le quickly put away his expression of watching a show and answered loudly with a stern face.
"Did you enjoy the show?" Instructor Li asked through gritted teeth.
Wen Le resolutely refused to admit that he was just watching a show. Just kidding. If he admitted, wouldn't this stern instructor give him a hard time? Mainly because his first impression of this person was that he wasn't easy to get along with. He didn't want to offend anyone on his first day.
Instructor Li ignored his explanation and said, "If that's the case, why don't you just fight with the squad leader to avoid any complaints."
A bunch of idiots, do you think that anyone can get into the Imperial Capital Military Academy? Why would the school agree to special recruitment if you don't have any special skills or abilities?
Wen Le's admission wasn't solely due to the Wing Tiger family's connections. If anyone with a connection could get in, the school would be completely overcrowded. If that were the case, there would be no prestigious Imperial Capital Military Academy; it would probably have to be renamed the Weakling Academy.
Besides, it was Wen Le who had personally requested his transfer to Class A. The title of a 17-year-old three-star healer was incredibly prestigious, and even more so was his talent for pharmaceuticals. The durian-flavored anesthetic was also well-documented within the system, and the instructors had all heard of its reputation.
The fact that he was able to use the potion to escape from under the noses of the "hyenas" and even turned the tables on the "hyenas" by biting off a piece of meat from them, alone earned him a lot of points in the hearts of the instructors.
What's more, with Wen Le joining, their class no longer needs to hire a therapist. This is a ready-made military doctor. And a high-end version of the king level. Of course, they have to rush to grab this person before others do.
It is absolutely impossible to get him to spit out the meat once he has put it in his mouth!
Regarding the physical fitness issue, this is not a problem at all. Just exercise more and practice more.
As for why Wen Le was asked to spar with the squad leader, on the one hand, it was to test his abilities and see how strong he was. On the other hand, it was to dampen Wen Le's spirit, make him understand what this place was like, and quickly put away his old ways.
After all, therapists give people the impression of arrogance, and the higher the level of the therapist, the more arrogant he is. Being difficult to get along with is their hallmark.
Instructor Li often interacted with therapists and was often turned away. Therefore, he had a very bad impression of therapists. He had never interacted with Wen Le and thought he was also a person with a strange temper, so he came up with this trick to calm his temper.
Instructor Li had a good idea, but Wen Le didn't want to cooperate at all: "Instructor, I can't beat him, and I don't want to fight!" He was stupid enough to challenge the squad leader. If he lost, he would lose face, and he would get beaten for nothing. He was unhappy.
If the class monitor loses, he will lose face and be unhappy. If he loses face in front of the whole class on the first day, how can he have a good life in the future?
He didn't want to do it anyway.
"This is an order!" Instructor Li was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. He really wanted to kill his fighting spirit.
"Soldier Wu Bo, step out!"
"Yes!" The monitor responded loudly, taking a step forward from the team and glaring at Wen Le eagerly. He was determined to beat this pretty boy to tears today, to see if he still had the nerve to stay in Class A.
Wen Le was forced to accept the challenge.
Lily watched the show with great interest, eagerly anticipating her friend's beating of the monitor. Others might not know, but she knew. Her friend wasn't as easy to bully as he looked. He might have caught a little white rabbit, but in reality, he was a steel-toothed hedgehog in rabbit skin. Anyone who dared to mess with him would be pricked by his quills.
