Chapter 124
In addition to the regular training for the parade, the instructors will also teach combat and military boxing during the military training. There will be a competition on the day of the parade, with each company selecting one participant. Engineering students are not very interested in fighting and most of them are chosen by the instructors, while combat students need to compete internally with passion.
[The first and second battalions are too fierce; they haven't been training at all, they've been fighting all the time. Did everyone sign up?]
[It's normal for combat-oriented training. In fact, if you don't perform well in these kinds of activities, you'll get a kick in the butt from the instructor in the next second. Besides, isn't it pretty cool that you don't have to train during the selection process?]
Are there any top contenders for the championship? And what are the rewards for winning this kind of event?
There wasn't any real reward, just a small medal as a token gesture, but just bragging about it is enough to make you feel good. It proves that no one in this year's freshmen can beat you, and who wouldn't feel good hearing that?
[This year's freshmen in the combat department are quite impressive. Wasn't the top student supposed to be from Heishui High School? Turns out he didn't go to the main Heishui Military Academy, which almost drove their leaders crazy.]
[But I don't think the award will necessarily go to the combat department this year. Doesn't the Fourth Battalion still have Feng Ran? She recently had a one-on-one fight at the military headquarters. Just watching the video, I thought she was incredibly awesome. Isn't that an overwhelming level of domination?]
Speaking of which, I'm so envious of their Mechanical Engineering department! They have team-building dinners and activities every day. Even during night training, their instructors only train for a short while before sitting down to sing and dance. The atmosphere is amazing. In our department, only two or three people go up to sing during talent shows, and the instructors are tired of hearing it.
[Holy crap, this is so awesome?]
[Yes, we were right next to them. When they stopped to sing and dance, it was amazing! Everyone was laughing so hard. We kept wanting to turn around and watch, but every time we did, the instructors caught us and we got extra training. Even after they were dismissed, we were still training.]
[I was wondering why there were still people training at Training Ground 3 last night. I was thinking, were Battalions 4 and 5 going to have a showdown with the combat team? Turns out it was you unlucky bunch, hahaha.]
[Feng Ran probably doesn't even care about participating in this competition. I heard from her classmates that she has something to do and will have to ask for leave later, and she won't even come to the military training inspection.]
[How can they take leave for this? Isn't the Capital Military Academy supposed to have the strictest military management?]
Don't you understand class? Asking will only lead to falsehoods.
[Well, the champion will probably still be a combat-type character in the end. I was actually looking forward to seeing what would be different this year.]
Who can argue with that?
[Holy crap, holy crap, the mechanical engineering students are fighting!]
【What do you mean? Are you from the 4th Battalion? Explain yourself! You're driving me crazy!】
[Fourth Battalion, Fourth Battalion, we're in communications next to the mechanical department. They've started their selection process and internal fighting has broken out. Feng Ran really doesn't plan to participate in the competition, but! But she got into a fight with the instructor! What the hell is going on?! I really want to leave the team and go see what's happening!]
Training Ground No. 3, the activity area of the Mechanical Engineering Company, everyone sat in a circle, watching Feng Ran and the company fight and maneuver in the center.
Although Feng Ran originally wanted to show off his skills in front of the entire school, the meeting with the doctors had already been arranged. Xi Sen used his connections to find experts from major hospitals and obstetrics centers across the empire, and Feng Ran couldn't stand them up. In the end, Shen Shiqian was more important than showing off.
Encouraged by Kaolecia, the students in the class were very enthusiastic about participating in the competition. So Feng Ran thought that if she couldn't win the championship, it would be good to choose someone from the class to represent her and win the championship. So she enthusiastically said that she wanted to have a one-on-one fight with Lian and then teach her classmates some combat tips.
Unfortunately, her skills are not easy to learn. Enigma is born with a keen ability to see through everything, but others have to rely on practical experience to accumulate experience. Even after training, their reaction may still not reach her level. Reaction, judgment, speed, and some clever combinations of superpowers are the components of Feng Ran's invincible ability.
Whether the students learned it or not is unknown, but they certainly enjoyed watching it.
Even the instructor's movements seemed to be broken down, and under Feng Ran's prediction and restraint, they became rigid and continuous textbook diagrams, giving people the illusion that they could also learn them after just one glance.
Feng Ran released Lian's arm, stopping short of a direct confrontation.
Feng Ran: "That's about it. There are ways to deal with and counter almost every move and technique. After you memorize them all, you'll have to rely on actual combat and judgment."
Finney excitedly raised her hand and stepped forward: "Instructor, I want to compete with you too!"
He kicked Finney in the butt: "I can't beat her, but I can beat you?"
Finney clutched his backside and ran away, yelling, "Instructor, you attacked me from behind!"
The students cheered from the sidelines, "Phineas, don't just dodge! Find a chance to kick him back!"
Finney: "Has it already started?"
Before he could even get into a fighting stance, Lian attacked. Finney was completely overwhelmed and couldn't even see Lian's movements before being forced to the ground by his head.
They even mocked him, saying, "How did you learn this? You couldn't defend against a single move. You'll have to stay and train extra today."
"Oh no, the instructor has gone mad."
Even though they saw Finney getting crushed by noobs, they weren't too discouraged. One by one, they all eagerly wanted to play a game with Lian and give it a try. Feng Ran was also watching and giving instructions from the side.
"Less, you need to judge based on the different amplitudes of the starting momentum, focusing on the center of gravity. A heavy attack will leave you suspended in the air due to inertia, and this point is the most suitable for a counterattack."
Before Les could understand the starting stance Feng Ran was talking about, Lian's fist came flying at him. He instinctively tried to block, but the fist turned out to be a feint, and he got a hard kick to the butt.
After being pinned to the ground and forced to admit defeat, he said dejectedly, "Ah, this is so difficult."
"It's okay, you lasted one minute longer than Finney."
"Haha, what do you mean? Has it been changed to a time trial?"
"Okay, I'll go next!"
But not long after, because they were making such a fuss, they attracted the head instructor, and everyone quickly lined up and the lively atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
"Lian, what are you doing here?"
"Sir, we are selecting participants for the combat competition."
How are the selections going?
Feng Ran suddenly spoke up: "Commander Albert, would you like to have a match?"
Here comes someone really good; they can show everyone some impressive moves.
Albert looked at the crowd but did not refute Feng Ran's lack of discipline. After all, the news of Shen Shiqian's pregnancy had already spread within their ranks, and Feng Ran could have easily skipped the freshman military training. Moreover, he was a legitimate member of the Second Army Corps of the military, and in terms of superiors and subordinates, the leader's wife was above him.
Albert: "Miss Fengran, do you want to compete with me?"
Feng Ran: "You should be better than Lian."
Albert: "Okay."
Everyone excitedly made way for the students, and even sat down among them: "This is something to watch carefully. Instructor Albert was the chief of the class of '73, and he completely dominated the freshman combat competition to win the championship."
As soon as he said that, everyone took out their wristbands to record the game, capturing the exciting match just by looking at the lineup.
"Sir, are you in the same class as the head instructor?"
“I’m not a military academy student, I’m self-taught, and I only heard about it from other instructors.”
Fini patted him on the shoulder without holding a grudge, quite adept at comforting people: "It's okay, the head instructor will finish the battle in ten minutes too, you'll feel better."
Albert had seen Feng Ran fight with others when he was in the military. At that time, she would use her gender advantage to create favorable conditions. However, the participants in the fighting competition included both A and B. The rules clearly stated that it was not allowed to use pheromones or mental power to suppress her. If it was purely a matter of skill, he did not think that Feng Ran, who liked to use clever techniques, could beat him.
"Now we see that this is the second time the head instructor has used a high kick combined with a downward chop, but oh dear, he missed. He doesn't have many moves left to make!"
Finney took on the role of commentator without permission. If you say she's bad, she can understand Feng Ran's move breakdown. If you say she's skilled, she gets beaten up by Instructor Lian.
"Okay, the focus has shifted. It's clear that the head instructor really wants to restrict Feng Ran's agile movements, but unfortunately, he hasn't succeeded in using joint locks even once."
The facts told Albert he was overthinking it; in terms of pure skill, he couldn't beat Feng Ran.
"Oh, the head instructor took eight minutes and forty-seven seconds! Lian Sir, you win this round!"
He was completely exasperated. He grabbed Finney's arm and twisted it, saying, "Shut up."
Everyone watched with great interest and discussed it animatedly.
"The head instructor's movements were really powerful. Several times I felt like he was about to shove me with his movements."
"Feng Ran's movements are also exaggerated. How does he manage to look so light yet be completely restrained?"
"Just find the right angle. The reason the head instructor slowed down in the middle was because the angle of attack and defense was too large. Once you are blocked, you will only tear your ligaments if you try to resist, so you can only go with her direction."
"Force them to submit."
Finney, now fully revitalized, exclaimed, "Lian Sir, I want to play another round with you!"
Lian: "What the hell do you want by calling me?"
The other students chimed in, "Finnie, you're in the second round. Go to the back of the line."
Everyone was full of energy and passion, with the spirit of winning the fighting competition. They actively sought out Lian to PK, Fini, and even Kaolecia approached the head instructor. In the end, they only managed to defend once. But failure did not discourage them, because every time they fought and every time they were hit, they were surprised to find that they could see through a certain movement of their opponent and successfully block or even counterattack in advance. The excitement of progress made them try again and again without getting tired.
On the school's online forum.
[Oh no, the mechanical engineering department has gone mad! They're getting too carried away with the fighting; they've all started splitting up and finding partners to practice with. Some are challenging the instructors, and some are even challenging the head instructor.]
The instructors from the neighboring communications department and several other departments had completely lost control of their students, so they let them rest and then all turned to look at the mechanical engineering department.
What does this mean? Are they going to be the dark horse?
[Wasn't Feng Ran supposed to be fighting the instructor? How's it going?]
[Oh, they finished a while ago. Our instructors just did extra training, and she's only just now resting and touching her wristband. She also sparred with the head instructor, and it seems she won. Now the head instructor is their sparring partner.]
[For your information, Instructor Albert is a graduate and was also the top student in his class, as well as the champion of the freshman combat competition.]
[Awesome, if I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't be doing military training.]
[Free sharing, come on, you're welcome.]
Someone posted a first-person perspective video of Albert fighting against Feng Ran.
[Holy crap, it's a mechanical engineering major, let's get them!]
[After watching the video, all I can say is "Holy crap, is this really a mechanical engineering department? With Katsura among the freshmen, I'm not even going to compare!"]
What's all the fuss about? They're clearly at the same table as the referees, not participating.
[Feng Ran's movements are truly beautiful and elegant, fast, accurate, and ruthless—a completely different style from what the instructor taught.]
More than just actions
[The newly crowned campus beauty, a top star at the military academy, okay?]
[I'm tired of saying I envy the marshal, so I say it once a day.]
