Military Academy: Special Forces System - Chapter 34

Zhang Cheng and Chi Heng were sitting at the finish line to rest. When they saw Qian Jiang coming over, they were both surprised and happy that there were still two people behind him who hadn’t returned.

This time, Qian Jiang was third from the last. He had finally broken his usual record of being at the bottom.

Zhang Cheng sighed and said, “Qian Jiang is improving really fast. He actually surpassed the two of them now. He’s very impressive.”

Everyone had to see some hope. Seeing himself not improving every day was unbearable for anyone. Once there was progress, at least people would not be dispirited and give up. There was hope.

Little did they know that Qian Jiang felt that his legs were no longer his. They were hot, numb, and sore. Even though he was sitting on the ground to rest, he still could not relieve it.

“Team Leader Zhao, what did you say to Qian Jiang when you went back? Although this kid is a little slow, he seems to be in good condition.” Bai Xiaofei took advantage of the break to run to Zhao Rui’s side and ask him.

Zhao Rui shook his head. “Actually, I didn’t say anything. Qian Jiang just doesn’t know how to keep up with the pace of long-distance running. I gave him a reminder. Although he said that he didn’t run according to the prescribed time, he has made great progress. To me, this is an unexpected gain.”

As they were talking, Instructor He ordered, “Everyone, take a 20-minute break.”

Bai Xiaofei smiled and said, “You’re really something! Class Monitor Zhao, as long as Qian Jiang’s physical fitness improves, at least he won’t be disheartened and apply to withdraw from school. That bet doesn’t even need to continue.”

Zhao Rui felt that if Qian Jiang could find love in the Military Academy, then his brothers in Dorm 424 would be considered to have grown up. Qian Jiang would also be more willing to stay, so why not?

Unknowingly, they had already rested for 20 minutes. Everyone’s physical strength had recovered a little. Although they were still very tired, it would not affect the rest of the training.

At this time, Instructor He’s whistle sounded again.

“Everyone, gather!”

When students in the sixth team heard the order, they quickly gathered and stood in formation.

Instructor He continued, “Although you did not achieve the result that I had expected in the long-distance run just now, compared to a month ago when all of you had just entered the school, you have all made great progress. Everyone must continue to work hard to surpass yourselves. Don’t be arrogant and rash, and never be satisfied. Do you understand?”

“Understood!” The students in the sixth team answered in unison, full of enthusiasm.

“Okay, today’s training ends here. Dismissed.” Instructor He nodded in satisfaction.

The sunlight shone on their youthful faces, full of vigor.

Instructor He watched as everyone dispersed in all directions, all of them looking excited. From the bottom of his heart, Instructor He liked these energetic children.

Although Instructor He was strict, he was very concerned about his students. When he saw how they gritted their teeth and persisted in training in order to achieve their goals and did not give up, he was very touched.

At this moment, Qian Jiang walked up to Instructor He with a firm expression and said, “Instructor He, I’ve decided not to quit school. When I was running with Class Monitor Zhao today, I seemed to have found some tricks to train my physical fitness. I know I still have a lot to catch up on, but at least I’ve found a direction.”

Instructor He felt gratified when he heard that. He patted Qian Jiang’s shoulder and said, “You’ve made progress, very good! This is what a man should be like. Don’t give up so easily. You must continue to work hard and surpass yourself. You’re your own biggest enemy!”

After this long run, Qian Jiang didn’t feel depressed at all. On the contrary, he was even more spirited. His fighting spirit had been completely stimulated.

Before Instructor He left, he said to Qian Jiang, “Inform Zhao Rui and the others in your dormitory to come to my office later.”

“Yes, Instructor!” Qian Jiang saw Instructor He smile. He believed that something good would happen.

Qian Jiang ran back to the dormitory and looked around. Where were the others? Why was the class monitor alone?

Qian Jiang passed the instructor’s words to Zhao Rui. “Class Monitor, Instructor He said that he wants you and the other three people in the dormitory to go to his office. The instructor seems to be in a good mood. There might be something good!”

“Do you know something?” Zhao Rui patted his shoulder and said.

Qian Jiang scratched his head and smiled.

Without waiting for Qian Jiang to speak, Zhao Rui and the others walked out of the dormitory and to the administrative building.

“Reporting!”

“Please come in!”

Instructor He saw that it was Zhao Rui and the other three, and said happily, “You guys did a really good job this time, especially you, Zhao Rui.”

At this time, Zhao Rui still didn’t understand, because he didn’t know about the conversation between Instructor He and Qian Jiang on the field.

“Me? What do you mean?” Zhao Rui asked in surprise.

Instructor He said, “You guys don’t know yet, right? Qian Jiang just told me that he doesn’t plan to quit school.”

“What?” A happy expression appeared on Zhao Rui’s face.

The other people were also so happy that they almost jumped. They echoed, “You see, this plan will work.”

Instructor He said, “Stay calm. But I must compliment all of you. You’ve done well. To be able to be happy for your roommate’s progress, this is what I look forward to the most!”

At this moment, their feelings were self-evident.

Then, after coming out of Instructor He’s office, it was time to eat, so they went straight to the cafeteria.

“Eh? Where did Qian Jiang go? Did he change his mind again?” Bai Xiaofei felt worried. He had a feeling that Qian Jiang might be emotionally unstable at any moment.

“I don’t think so. Even if there is a change of heart, he would have at least encountered some other setbacks. Now that he has improved in two training sessions, he is more than happy.” Even though he said that, Zhao Rui was actually worried that it would be like what Bai Xiaofei said, but he chose to believe in Qian Jiang.

“Let’s go out and look for him. He hasn’t been seen for a long time.” After Zhao Rui said that, the others also agreed, so they decided to go look for Qian Jiang together.

They searched the dormitory bathroom and went straight to the cafeteria, but they still didn’t find him.

“The playground!”

“Let’s go! Let’s go to the sports field and have a look!” Zhao Rui suggested.

So, they went to the sports field. This guy was indeed here.

It was noon, and the sun was scorching.

Qian Jiang was actually running under the scorching sun. The scene in front of their eyes shocked everyone. Moreover, he wasn’t running on the flat ground of the sports field, but training repeatedly on the steps.

Bean-sized sweat was flowing like beads that fell from a broken string. His shirt was completely soaked in sweat. If he wrung it out, he would probably be able to fill a basin.

“He’s simulating cross-country running!” Zhao Rui said to the others.

“Is Qian Jiang stimulated by something? Why is he acting so abnormally?” Chi Heng said in disbelief..
