Ye Yiqing picked up a piece of braised pork with a significantly higher proportion of fat and frowned slightly.
"Do you want some?" Ye Yiqing asked, looking at Hera, who was enjoying her meal across from him.
Hera swallowed the rice she had just opened her mouth to eat, glanced at the braised pork Ye Yiqing was holding, and nodded.
"Here you go." Then Ye Yiqing handed all the fatty meat on the plate to Hera, piece by piece.
Ye Ciqing, who was grinning mischievously at the scene, suddenly noticed someone approaching. Upon seeing who it was, his smile became even more amusing.
Han Xiaoxiao sat down next to Ye Yiqing with one hand holding the plate, then picked up a piece of lean braised pork with her left hand and handed it to Ye Yiqing.
"for you."
Ye Yiqing ate his meal while looking at the braised pork that she had placed on his plate. He didn't show any suspicion, but instead spoke calmly.
Even if you try to please me, I still won't teach you.
"It's nothing." Han Xiaoxiao shook her head indifferently, then continued to hand the meat to Ye Yiqing.
"That's enough, I've had enough." Ye Yiqing raised her hand to stop her from putting more meat on her plate, and smiled gently again, "You need to get some nutrition too, eat more meat."
Han Xiaoxiao's hand, which was holding the meat, stopped in mid-air. After thinking for a moment, she withdrew it and put it in her mouth.
Seeing that Han Xiaoxiao didn't give him any more meat, Ye Yiqing showed a relieved and extremely pleasant smile on his face, and began to eat.
"Brother~ you two look like the sad heroine in a romance novel pursuing a cold and aloof god~" Ye Ciqing said cheekily, seemingly wanting to see how his brother and Han Xiaoxiao would react.
Aside from giving him a flick on the forehead, Ye Yi didn't react much else.
Han Xiaoxiao, who was eating, showed no change in expression whatsoever.
"Tch, how boring~" Ye Ciqing rubbed his forehead where he had been flicked, and then continued eating.
Meanwhile, Hera was focused on eating the whole time, as if nothing else concerned her.
...
"My name is Qin Gucheng, and I'm your instructor!"
"Over the next year, I will be in charge of training you in the use of cold weapons and close combat skills."
On the stage, Qin Gucheng stood there somewhat unnaturally. Although he shouted loudly, his voice always seemed weak and not loud enough.
The magnificent instructor below the stage clicked his tongue as he watched this scene.
"Old Li, I still don't think he's suitable to be an instructor. Look at him, he doesn't look like a soldier at all." Hongwei crossed his arms and complained to Li Hu next to him.
Li Hu sighed slightly, "There's nothing we can do about it. After going through something like that, he's already done a pretty good job."
This is, for him, a way to emerge from the shadows.
Hongwei opened his mouth as if to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he swallowed his words and looked at Qin Gucheng on the stage again.
On the stage, Qin Gucheng drew a straight knife and began to explain earnestly.
"The straight sword is the most widely used weapon among us Night Star warriors, and it is also the most practically used weapon in actual combat."
After explaining the uses and advantages of a straight knife, Qin Gucheng began to teach the correct way to use it.
For example, how to properly hold a knife and how to swing it.
Hera knew all of this, after all, those two months hadn't been wasted, but she still looked like she was listening attentively.
Coco, on the other hand, was drowsy listening to the music and almost fell asleep several times.
"Alright, that's enough theory. Now, listen to my instructions." After demonstrating a few times, Qin Gucheng prepared to begin the training.
"First, those with some basic training stand here, and then those with absolutely no training stand there."
The crowd was divided into two parts. Hera naturally went to the part with the foundation, accompanied by Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing.
Besides the three of them, there weren't many other people in the area; most of them were untrained.
Qin Gucheng nodded. There were quite a few students with a solid foundation in this year's class, which would make teaching them relatively easier.
Just as Qin Gucheng was about to train her, Coco, who was standing in the team, suddenly collapsed.
Her delicate body fell straight to the ground, looking as if she had fainted.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
Instructor Qin Gucheng was also startled and hurriedly ran over to check on Coco's condition.
Seeing that she was still unconscious, Qin Gucheng picked her up and prepared to take her to the infirmary.
After taking only two steps, he realized he couldn't leave these new recruits here unattended.
Then his gaze swept around, finally settling on Ye Yiqing.
"You help manage and teach her, and I'll take her to the infirmary."
"ah?"
"It's alright, I just need to teach you some basic sword swings." After saying that, Qin Gucheng led Coco to the infirmary.
Watching the instructor's departing figure, Ye Yiqing sighed helplessly.
"Well then, everyone take a wooden sword. I'll teach you some basic sword-wielding techniques and the key points of the movements." Ye Yiqing stepped out of the group and began to instruct.
...
Coco was carried in a princess carry by the instructor and rushed towards the infirmary.
Coco's body swayed as she ran, and a bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down her forehead.
At this moment, Coco was extremely panicked. In fact, she fell down simply because she had accidentally fallen asleep.
She woke up the moment she fell, but if she had gotten up then, she might have been scolded by the instructor, and she might not have been able to hold her head high among the new recruits for the entire year.
So she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue acting.
At this moment, Coco just hoped that going to the infirmary would mean she wouldn't have to have her blood drawn or tested, because Coco was most afraid of injections.
Inside the medical room.
The medical staff removed the stethoscope.
"How is she? What's wrong with her?" Qin Gucheng looked at the medical staff with a worried expression.
The medical staff smiled and waved their hands, saying not to worry, "There's nothing wrong, her heart rate and temperature are all normal, it's probably just because she didn't get enough rest, let her rest."
Qin Gucheng breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing. "Okay, thank you."
Meanwhile, Coco, who was still pretending to be unconscious, was secretly overjoyed, and a slight smile crept onto her lips.
After seeing the medical staff off, Qin Gucheng, looking slightly tired, took out a stool and sat down next to Coco's hospital bed.
"Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise, there would be another person in this world I've wronged." Qin Gucheng looked up, his voice filled with exhaustion and self-reproach.
After sitting for a while, Qin Gucheng got up from the bench.
Just as Kewei was about to leave, Qin Gucheng walked straight to the medical supplies area, where he took a bag of glucose, an sling, and a syringe.
Coco squinted at all of this and her delicate body trembled.
As the instructor slowly approached, Coco's heart pounded faster and faster, and her body began to tremble slightly.
Finally, as the instructor started the IV drip, Coco slowly opened her eyes.
