Chapter 45: Half-day Rest
Watching the students on the intelligent map approaching Cave 7 one by one, with 280 coordinate points gathered together and no one left behind, Instructor Chen and Kaiong were silent.
Are they in a hurry to come out because they haven't found the materials? Or...
The 20 students of the mecha master were also standing by waiting. The sub-systems on their intelligent brains were not working, and they had no idea what was happening at this time.
Natata had been feeling a bit sleepy, but when she saw the two instructors' strange expressions, she was no longer sleepy. Could something strange have happened inside? She was curious and a little nervous for Xu Lingqu, staring intently at the entrance to Hole 7.
The originally dark cave entrance was closed by an iron door. With a bang, the iron door slowly opened upwards. Everyone outside the scene was staring at the opened cave entrance.
The first person emerged. By this time, daylight had broken, the night had passed. The wind rippled her short black hair as she emerged from the cave entrance, step by step, with a firm gait. Her pose was unremarkable, and her outfit, even ordinary combat uniform, embodied the very essence of heroic spirit.
It was Xu Lingqu. After she walked out first, the students on trial behind her seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. After she walked out first, they walked out one after another.
This is a tribute to the commander.
Whether you believe in her or question her, in tonight's test, Xu Lingqu led everyone to find the fastest and best solution.
Kion looked at the girl with a complicated expression. He hadn't had a good impression of her during the initial tryouts. She was frail and pale, and had fainted during the interstellar jump. Kion didn't hate weakness, but it was simply not acceptable to be weak at the Moye Military Academy. He had preconceived the term and attached it to Xu Lingqu, only to watch her tear it off bit by bit.
All 280 students emerged from the cave the first time it opened, far exceeding Instructor Chen and Kai'ang's expectations. All 20 groups brought materials with them. Some groups miscommunication and mistakenly admitted their mistakes, but half of them managed to obtain the materials needed by the mecha technicians.
The result of this will inevitably be unified scheduling and command, as well as the power to allow everyone to temporarily put aside competition and cooperate for mutual benefit.
Kion suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes and silently turned his body to the side.
If there had been students with this level of command in the previous two classes, Moye Military Academy would not have lost so badly.
What bothered him most was the battle on the desert map last year. After the game analysis, the students blamed each other for the defeat. At that time, Kion wanted to leave. He would rather return to the battlefield or the frontier than teach such students again.
However, the old men in the school were unwilling to let such an experienced and enthusiastic person go, and gave him the right to be the chief instructor of freshmen and plan the trial training period.
Kion considered it over and over again, and finally decided to stay. The current scene was a response to his painful self at that time, and his choice was not wrong.
Instructor Chen, who was standing by, was a little surprised when he saw this, then he quietly moved to cover him up, preventing the students from seeing his sudden vulnerability.
This is the tacit understanding between partners.
Kaiong is always so emotional. His anger, pride and sadness all come and go quickly. Maybe he really likes to play tricks on people, but Instructor Chen knows very well the expectations he has for this class of freshmen and the hard work he has put into them.
"I'll only give you fifteen seconds." Instructor Chen watched the students hand over the materials. "Chief Instructor, you need to hurry up and take charge of this."
Kaiong hummed in a depressed tone, and Instructor Chen really wanted to laugh.
Natata took the materials from Lin Xiao and the others. The materials combined were quite heavy, and Lin Xiao was a little worried at first. However, the girl in front of him took them all in her hands steadily and smiled widely: "You did a great job!"
She looked at Xu Lingqu with shining eyes. Although she didn't understand what happened, Xu Lingqu was the first one to come out, which meant that she was definitely very strong!
This time, I really got the upper hand.
Xu Lingqu felt the burning gaze, looked back indifferently and nodded.
It's not that she was pretending to be cool or unhappy. She had talked too much in the underground maze and felt that she had used up her talking quota for today, so she was a little too lazy to speak.
But in the eyes of others, this is the self-cultivation of a master. This made some students who already "worship" her feel more deeply about Xu Lingqu's strength.
"I must work hard to improve my ranking and finally stay. I really want to experience what it's like to play in the Military Academy League with Commander Xu as my teammate."
"There's a sense of conviction that as long as our commander is alive, we haven't lost."
"I'm telling you, are you done yet? Enough already. Do you really need to flatter Xu Lingqu like this?"
"What's so special about what she said? I'd say the same thing if I were in her shoes. Isn't it just empty talk? It's all about analysis."
"Fuck you, you idiot. I should just throw you back into the underground maze."
"How can someone who says something like that have the nerve to come out with us, please?"
There was a small commotion in the student group because of the topic of Xu Lingqu.
By this time Kion had also dealt with his emotions.
"Alright, you guys performed well this time. You can stay here and rest for half a day. We'll head back to our original training ground in the afternoon."
Instructor Kion's words frightened the students so much that they were stunned.
Half a day off? The devilish chief instructor took the initiative to give them half a day off? Is this something Kion could say? Something's wrong, absolutely wrong. There must be a conspiracy here.
All the students stood still, completely forgetting the exhaustion of being woken up in the middle of the night and dragged to wander around the underground maze. They all showed their willpower to Kion, and their faces almost had the words "Instructor, just tell us what you want to test us on this time." written on them.
"It's a crisis of trust." Instructor Chen taunted Kion softly, then picked up the megaphone and said, "I'm not kidding you. Rest for a while. I have the final say. Now let's go back to the training ground."
With Instructor Chen's words, the students felt reassured, and one by one they cheered and set out on the road back to the mecha training ground.
Kaiong glanced at Instructor Chen awkwardly. "Do these little bastards trust you now? You're very kind to them."
"It's just average, mainly thanks to their peers." Instructor Chen said, "After all, I will still make sure they get as much sleep as possible."
Unlike someone, who students now call a sleep killer.
