Chapter 88
When I returned to the dormitory, the other three people in the room had already gone to bed.
Xia Mo had no choice but to walk lightly, tiptoeing out with the basin and towel. After washing in the public area, he tiptoed back.
At this time, sleepiness had filled her whole body like a flood. She forced her eyelids to stay open, gently placed the basin on the ground, and then climbed onto the bed sleepily and fell asleep.
There was no morning class the next day, and Xia Mo had planned to sleep a little longer to catch up on his sleep. However, early in the morning, he suddenly heard the loud horn of the military academy outside the corridor.
That was the signal to notify the students to assemble in the command hall.
All the students in the building, whether they were up or not, took action in unison the moment they heard the call to assemble!
Those who didn't have time to comb their hair could only scratch it casually to try to tidy it up; those who didn't have time to wash their faces simply grabbed a coat hanging in the closet and wiped it on their faces, pretending that they had already washed their faces.
There were also those who had just woken up from bed and had nothing prepared. They could only jump down from the upper bunk barefoot with a bang, and put on clothes and pants while running out of the dormitory as if they were in a hurry to be reincarnated.
Rules of the First Military Academy on the planet Alman: When the assembly call sounds, all students, no matter what they are doing or where they are in the school, must arrive at the command hall within 3 minutes and stand in an orderly manner according to their majors and classes.
Anyone who fails to arrive within the specified time will have 10 credits deducted on the spot!
Almost all freshmen who enrolled in the First Military Academy have heard about how difficult it is to get credits. They cry while memorizing theoretical classes, get scolded bitterly in practical classes, and get beaten black and blue in mecha classes... They have almost experienced every bit of hell, but in the end they may not be able to pass the assessments of these teachers.
"Young students, protect your credits with your lives!"
This is the most sincere advice that every sophomore gives to freshmen.
Most of the freshmen remembered this sentence, so they didn't dare to slack off at all, and all rushed to the hall with all their strength.
Xia Mo is no exception.
Even though she had only slept for a few hours and her body was still exhausted, her five years of military school life had already ingrained the meaning of "instant reaction" into her bones.
In the 0.001 second when the assembly call sounded, Xia Mo opened her eyes, threw off the quilt and jumped off the upper bunk. She was wearing a training uniform, a training jacket, training trousers, and long boots. She was like the exaggerated female warrior No. 1 in a science fiction movie. She finished dressing and went downstairs in an instant.
Behind her, Long Yue was chasing her until she was almost crying.
"Xia Mo, wait for me!"
She shouted as she hurried downstairs.
The loudspeaker in the corridor sounded so suddenly. How could Long Yue have experienced this at home?
Not to mention the loudspeaker, her father doesn't allow anyone to make any noise within 10 meters of her room while she's sleeping. Anyone who makes any noise, no explanation required, just take the money and leave.
Long Yue had told her father many times that there was no need for this. Although she came from a wealthy family, she did not want to be a delicate young lady. Even if she was woken up, the worst that could happen was that she would just turn over and go back to sleep.
However, today, Long Yue, who had never been disturbed in her sleep in her life, experienced for the first time what it felt like to wake up from her sleep.
The small speaker and the huge vibration almost killed her little heart.
Being woken up was enough to make her crazy. What made her even more crazy was that it was only 3 minutes! 3 minutes to wash her face, brush her teeth, get dressed, run and form the team. How could she have enough time?
The moment she felt helpless, she subconsciously turned to her roommate Xia Mo for help.
However, before she could open her mouth, Xia Mo, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, had already rushed out of the room like the wind, so fast that it made her... shocked!
Long Yue wanted to cry but had no tears.
What can she do?
I had no choice but to give up washing up and run out!
Long Yue, who used to pride herself on having good physical strength, was dazed and stumbling. However, when she was running with Xia Mo, she felt for the first time what terrifying speed was.
A distance was gained every second, more than ten meters were covered in two seconds, the person disappeared in three seconds, and there was no news at all in four seconds. Is this a human being?!
Long Yue was about to collapse.
Other freshmen who were growing at a similar pace to her also broke down and burst into tears.
Yi Qianqiu has long legs, which gives her an advantage when running. Although her reaction was a few seconds slower than Long Yue's, when she saw Xia Mo rushing out while putting on his clothes, she also grabbed her clothes and pants and ran out.
When she ran out of the dormitory building, she seemed to remember something, and she went against the crowd and turned back hurriedly.
In the crowd, Long Yue was running forward with red eyes, but because she was thin, she was always pushed away by the girls next to her while running.
Yi Qianqiu frowned, and immediately pushed the crowd away with his long and powerful arms, and stood firmly in the crowd with his long legs.
Long Yue felt a shadow falling on her face. She sobbed and raised her eyelids: "Qianqiu?"
Yi Qianqiu sighed, grabbed her arm and ran out: "What's the point of crying? It's better to save your energy and run faster."
Long Yue looked at her gratefully and nodded her chin: "Okay!"
Yi Qianqiu withdrew his gaze and pulled her out of the crowd.
After running more than a hundred meters, she suddenly heard Long Yue ask, "Qianqiu, I don't think I saw Hong Xinya? Did you see her?"
Yi Qianqiu was speechless: "Miss Long, you can barely protect yourself, and you still have the time to care about others?"
After saying that, he raised his chin forward and said, "Over there, following that girl."
After hearing this, Long Yue finally felt relieved.
Seeing her naive appearance, Yi Qianqiu scratched his hair irritably and said, "Don't worry about her in the future. Just take care of yourself."
"Ah? Why?"
Yi Qianqiu was too lazy to explain: "No reason, it just annoys me."
Long Yue laughed as she ran: "When you first came to the dormitory, you were annoyed when you saw me~"
Yi Qianqiu uttered, "It's different."
Long Yue blinked in confusion: "What's the difference?"
Yi Qianqiu didn't know what to say, so he just babbled, "It's different from beginning to end."
Long Yue was confused and wanted to ask more questions, but Yi Qianqiu pulled and dragged her into the hall at the end of the 3-minute period.
In the huge command hall, students were anxiously looking for their own organizations.
Yi Qianqiu was tall and could see the sign of Class 1 of the Combat Direction of the Mecha Department at a glance. She wanted to rush over in two steps, but people kept passing by, blocking her and Long Yue.
"Get out of the way, damn it!"
Yi Qianqiu was so anxious that he cursed.
Unfortunately it is of no avail.
In a hurry, she saw a pair of hands coming through the crowd and grabbing her and Long Yue's hands, one on the left and one on the right.
"Come with me."
Xia Mo grabbed the two of them and led them to a small gap nearby. The two of them successfully crossed the crosscurrent and followed her to the back of the class team.
As soon as we stood still, the hall broadcast sounded, announcing that the 3-minute assembly time was over.
Yi Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Long Yue blinked gratefully: "Thank you, Xia Mo!"
Xia Mo didn't say anything, but just put his finger on his lips, signaling them to be quiet.
The door to the spacious command hall closed automatically, ruthlessly blocking out those students who did not have time to gather.
They banged on the door in fear or panic. Although we couldn't hear what they were shouting, it was not difficult to guess that they wanted the teacher to let them in.
Xia Mo turned his head and took a look. It was comparable to the "grand occasion" of that year.
In the hall, the freshmen who escaped the disaster felt relieved but also felt sorry for those outside.
"Oh my god, 10 credits! I need to take 3 courses to make up for it!"
Several freshmen from the next class looked out the door and sighed with sympathy.
"Three doors... My flesh hurts just thinking about it..."
"Huh? The tuition at Yayi Military Academy (short for "Yalman Star's First Military Academy") isn't expensive, so why do you feel like it hurts?"
"...Ahem, brother, I don't mean money... I mean literal pain."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
A few seconds later, Xia Mo saw that the sympathy in the eyes of the grumbling people became even stronger.
"Please accept my condolences, comrades."
"Amen, I bless you silently in my heart."
The students who were locked outside the door completed the facial registration with great difficulty, and their credits were deducted from 0 to -10 on the spot before they were allowed in by the gatekeeper.
In the silent command hall, the director of the Mecha Department came on stage in a uniform of the Alman Star Army.
After he rambled on and on about the issues of discipline and rules several times, he finally shifted the topic to the main point of this gathering.
"The 32nd Xita Galaxy Campus Mecha Competition will begin auditions in two months. We hope everyone from the First Military Academy will actively sign up. Those who are selected for the school team will have the opportunity to represent our First Military Academy in the competition!"
As soon as the director finished speaking, there was an irrepressible agitation in the audience.
"Mecha Competition! The annual mecha competition in the Xita Galaxy. Ahhhh, I really want to go!"
"But the selection criteria for the school team must be very difficult, right? Do us freshmen really have a chance?"
"Yes! Haven't you heard about the selection experience of senior 20? He was selected for the school team right after entering college. Then he participated in the competition with the team, passed the galaxy auditions, the preliminary rounds, the round-robin promotion rounds, and finally made it to the finals!"
"Wow, who is Senior Sui? He's so awesome!"
"He's a senior five years our senior. I heard he's in the command department and has very strong mental abilities. His stories are all over the campus forums. If you're interested, you can check them out."
…
Senior, Xia Mo's eyes flashed when he heard the long-lost name.
A name that has been circulating in the Yayi Military Academy for many years. Even though today is his graduation year, freshmen like Xia Mo have almost no chance to meet him, but as long as his name is mentioned, no military academy student does not know it.
A rare genius in the command department, he is said to possess double S mental power, even more powerful than those military academy students on the capital star.
This is all Xia Mo knows about his senior.
Half an hour later, the morning meeting finally came to an end. The freshmen covered their ugly faces, fearing that others would recognize them. They ran back to the dormitory and only went to the teaching building with their books after they had cleaned up thoroughly.
Xia Mo also went to the teaching building.
Seeing that she hadn't skipped class, Long Yue smiled and teased her, "Hey, was today's class difficult?"
Before, Xia Mo lied to her, saying that the classes he skipped were not difficult and that he would not skip the difficult classes. This made Long Yue doubt for a while, are the courses in Yayi Military Academy really so easy?
Until... she listened to the lectures carefully every time, looking at the dense formulas on the screen and the obscure theories in the books, and then she realized that Xia Mo was teasing her.
As they were talking, the two had already walked into the classroom, and Xia Mo consciously took the seat in the corner of the last row for himself.
She put the book on the table, sat down on the chair, put her face on the table, put her arms around, and gave Long Yue a smile that showed her deep sense of achievement and fame.
"Today's class is still not difficult, so I'm going to sleep, An."
Facing Long Yue's surprised gaze, Xia Mo closed his eyes and soon dreamed of Zhou Gong.
A few minutes later, Yi Qianqiu, who had always been a loner, sat down next to Long Yue. She glanced at the soundly sleeping Xia Mo and shook her head, sighing, "She skips classes all day long. I wonder if she can pass the final exam..."
