4. Eat together
◎Instructor, I can’t handle your approachability◎
After Shu Chi finished her training, Kong Wei brought the rabbit over and let her hold it for a while. The special feeling that Yan Xunzhi had just felt immediately disappeared.
Then she recovered. What's the matter? This isn't hers, how could it be used by a poor student like her?
After the break, it was already half past seven and classes started at eight o'clock. The three of them packed up their things in the free training room and, led by Kong Wei, returned to the cafeteria to get their meals - only her card could be swiped multiple times a day.
Walking through the instructor's corridor, Yan Xunzhi learned for the first time that breakfast didn't just consist of hard steamed buns, but also porridge with meat and vegetables...
Kong Wei glanced at her and said, "Not all instructors have that."
Instructors are also divided into different levels.
The meal standards were different; Canxing Baita hadn't had such good food before she arrived. This wasn't just the first time Yan Xunzhi and Shu Chi had heard of it; it was also the first time the Baita instructors had seen it yesterday.
The federal government is very poor, and of course very stingy, snobbish, and class-conscious. They justify it by saying: "It's not a necessity, so why eat it so well? It's a waste!"
Also known as: In special times, carry forward the spirit of hard struggle!
Bullshit.
Kong Wei gave one copy each to Shu Chi and Yan Xunzhi.
Yan Xunzhi was eating meat for the first time in his life, and his hands were shaking with excitement. He was also afraid that he would drop the plate if he didn't hold it firmly, so he put it on the table and dragged it away. Shu Chi looked at him with disdain and followed his example. It was her first time eating meat too.
Of course, meat and vegetables can only satisfy their appetites, and the energy they provide is far less than the amount of energy they need for a day's training. In the end, they still have to drink nutritional potions to supplement their energy.
Kong Wei didn't consume much and didn't eat. He threw a bottle of nutritional potion to each of them, pointed to the place where the plates were collected, and left.
Yan Xunzhi and Shu Chi ate slowly and leisurely, as if they would spend half their lives chewing each mouthful. They licked the bottom of the plate until it glistened. After finishing the meal, they sat in their seats and savored the food for five minutes, reluctantly.
Then he glanced down at the time and almost jumped up, "It's past time, Shu Chi!"
They never thought that one day this lousy meal would take more than half an hour to finish... When they arrived at the classroom, the clock had already passed three.
Luckily, the first period was a general knowledge class. The instructor knew it was a weak class, so he immediately gave them an excuse. "Tomorrow is the second exam. I understand you guys studied late at night and couldn't get up early in the morning, so you're late. I don't have much to learn in this class, but what if I'm late for the second exam too?"
Yan Xunzhi and Shu Chi admitted their mistakes in a good manner, just like a chick pecking at rice and saying yes.
The instructor waved his hand and said, "Alright, go home for this class. This won't happen again. Don't be late for tomorrow's test."
There won't be a next time.
He couldn't concentrate on reading the book, so Yan Xunzhi took it out and put it on the table as a pretext. Anyway, after reading for a while, he naturally fell asleep. He got up so early this morning, so he could catch up on some sleep.
Unexpectedly, today was a little different. She looked at the first line, and after reading the words that were as confusing and difficult to pronounce as ants word by word, she actually understood a little bit, and then she read on to the second line.
Everyone in the federation has to take the underground common sense class, and it's not meant to be obscure or profound, but the wording is a bit formal, and you have to think about the words and sentences.
Yan Xunzhi saw the last line and subconsciously turned the page to continue reading.
It wasn't until someone patted her on the shoulder that she suddenly came to her senses. She realized that she had already turned one-third of the book.
Yan Xunzhi was almost in tears. One third! When had she ever read so many words in one breath?
"Oh my god, Miss Yan is actually reading a book." The student sitting diagonally behind her had an exaggerated expression. "Does the second assessment still have the effect of enlightening people?"
Shu Chi heard the voice and leaned over from the front. "Huh? It's fake, can you remember it?"
The knowledge he just learned was still fresh in his mind, not just blinked away after reading it. Yan Xunzhi turned up his nose without hesitation, "Of course."
He even gestured to the two of them proudly, "If you don't believe me, just look at my score tomorrow. This will definitely be the highest in history."
After all, she had never read a book before. Her answers were all nonsense.
The second section is about mental control, which is divided into three categories: attack, concealment, and guidance. These courses are relatively general and the teaching is relatively basic. After the sentry is divided into different directions, the three categories of courses will be further deepened according to the different physical conditions of the individual.
Yan Xunzhi also achieved unprecedented results in the pre-exam test of this course - she finally managed to survive the first round of searches!
Currently, the instruments are used to detect the activity of mental power. Concealment requires students to control the fluctuations of mental power as much as possible in order to blend in with the surroundings and not be discovered.
There was no significant progress in the remaining two categories, but Yan Xunzhi could clearly feel that his mental strength had increased in all aspects.
The only difference for her today was that Kong Wei called her to practice in the morning.
So immediate?
She couldn't help but clench her fists. This progress was too fast!
If he got kicked a few times a day... Yan Xunzhi could already see the golden mark next to his name during the future differentiation and grading. The S-level instructors from headquarters were indeed different.
But when he thought about having to get up early tomorrow morning to be kicked... Yan Xianyu twitched twice in the pot.
Forget it. She would be satisfied with passing the second assessment.
The morning is mainly focused on mental strength courses, and in the afternoon we start practical mechanical combat, offline combat, speed running... which is more inclined towards ground training.
Of course, there was no progress in subjects that were not trained. Yan Xunzhi's actual combat machine was offline four times, and he was defeated twice within three rounds and twice within five rounds in offline combat... Only sprinting could barely maintain a mid-level position.
But Comrade Yan was very satisfied with the result - combined with the progress she made in the morning, she would be able to pass the second test with certainty!
In an instant, I was ready to give up my evening study and run back to the dormitory at five o'clock.
Get some sleep first, then buy a bottle of sparkling water to enjoy in the evening.
I didn’t have the chance to skip class... I just walked to the door and ran into Kong Wei who came in around the corner.
Although he was obviously a head taller and stronger than her, Yan Xunzhi was frightened like a mouse seeing a cat. He quickly took two steps back and almost jumped up and turned around to run.
This time he avoided Kong Wei and bumped into Shu Chi, who was skipping class with him.
"Hey..." Shu Chi was about to complain, but when he tilted his head and saw Kong Wei, he felt guilty and his words became slurred again, "Instructor Kong, Instructor Kong."
The students in the classroom behind her stopped talking and looked up when they heard her voice.
The classroom was silent for a while, and then it burst into a cacophony of greetings.
"Hello, Instructor Kong!"
Kong Wei, dressed more formally than when they met in the morning, was wearing his instructor's uniform and military cap. He walked around the two of them, a thin booklet in hand, and sat down in front of the podium. He nodded in response to the students' greetings, and when they quieted down, he said, "Go back to your work. Review for the test tomorrow."
I don't know how the instructor rotated the class, but he actually asked Kong Weilun to come to the evening reading. It's such a waste of talent.
Yan Xunzhi knew there was no hope, "...Let's go back."
Who would have thought that Cheng Yaowei would show up out of nowhere?
The students who had received the EV injections returned to the classroom one after another. They were curious to see an unfamiliar instructor sitting on the podium, and they peeked in, trying to figure out who it was. When they matched the face with the name, they quickly fell silent, stumbling over their bows and saying, "Hello, Instructor Kong," before scurrying back to their seats.
Kong Wei was quite calm, acting like a star instructor, and nodded as a greeting.
She sat there flipping through the thin booklet for the entire evening reading period, never raising her head from beginning to end, as if she had just changed the place where she was reading.
When the time came, she immediately packed up and left. Her unwavering gaze and indifference made Yan Xunzhi deeply doubt whether the instructor who had taken the initiative to guide him last night and trained with him this morning was really Kong Wei. Did they know each other?
Soon her doubts faded. About half an hour later.
Kong Wei naturally sat down at their table with the plate in his hand.
There was a table for six people, but one was missing for five. She just filled in the vacancy naturally, without any awareness of being an outsider or even an instructor.
There is no doubt that ordinary students eat hard steamed buns for three meals a day. The only difference is one in the morning and evening, and two at noon.
I don’t know if it was to blend in with them, but Kong Wei only had a hard steamed bun on his plate, which was cold and empty, a stark difference from the sumptuous meat dishes he had in the morning.
All five people at the table were tongue-tied: three in excitement, two in amazement.
In the end, Yan Xunzhi was the first to find his tongue. "Instructor Kong... why are you eating here?"
After saying that, he realized her words were too harsh, and added lightly, "Don't instructors have a special area..."
Why are you sitting with us students?
With her S-level status in the Canxing White Tower, she was the center of attention wherever she went. However, since she was new to the place and had changed into a training suit, many people didn't recognize her, and she was lucky enough to avoid being blocked by the crowds of onlookers.
Kong Wei didn't show any strange expression, and asked naturally, "I came here because there was a seat. Is it not okay?" She didn't force it, "Then I'll change places."
She stood up and was about to leave. The student closest to her uttered an "ah" and quickly made amends, "No, no, we're honored to have Instructor Kong here."
She sat back down at the bottom of the stairs.
Yan Xunzhi felt like he was choking on the nutrient solution - the atmosphere at the table quickly dropped from lively conversation to freezing point.
After all, they were instructors I wasn't familiar with. I just met them once, and the conversation was just a few words each. I didn't even know their tempers well, and their rank was so high. If anyone dared to speak carelessly, you wouldn't have a good life if you offended them.
But you can't just stay like this... Although Kong Wei looked very relaxed in this awkward atmosphere.
Yan Xunzhi and Shu Chi, who could barely be said to be the most familiar with her at the table, exchanged glances. Her throat felt extremely dry. She forced herself to swallow the steamed bun, which scraped her intestines and made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Someone come save her! What can I say?
At this moment, the small dining table became the stage for the social bull. The student who had just spoken up next to her came to the rescue and broke the awkwardness. "Instructor Kong, will you be our instructor in the future?"
She was very careful in choosing this topic. She didn't ask how Kong Wei was transferred to a small corner of Canxing, Baita - because it was possible that he was squeezed out because he made a mistake or offended someone; nor did she ask what he would be taught - because it was very likely that he would not be able to reach the front line. Even if he was diligent, the physical level was too far behind that of the Canxing students, and there was nothing he could teach.
Instructors are the most common type of special agent. If they are willing to go to the front line, they will follow the training. If they are not willing, they will just lie in the office.
Just saying a few words occasionally is considered "guidance". Special envoys are basically of high level, so a few words of advice are still useful and they have a good reputation.
She could also take the opportunity to introduce herself, "My name is Yi Rong, a second-year student. Can I ask you for guidance if I have any questions in the future?"
"Okay." Kong Wei put down the steamed bun, wiped the corner of his mouth with a wet towel, glanced at her name tag to confirm, and then said slowly, "But I'm not the instructor, I'm the chief instructor on the front line, so I might be a little busy."
"If I teach you, you can ask me directly in class."
【Author’s words】
Kipper: You're not pretending... are you...?
Kong Wei: Oh? You're asking about my position? I'm the chief instructor on the front line, that's right.
