Military Academy: Special Forces System - Chapter 6
Translator: Li_Voon_Loke
The moment they heard the voice behind them, the four students in the dormitory were shocked.
Zhao Rui was still calm. Bai Xiaofei was so scared that he dropped the cards in his hand.
After all, they had just experienced the strict discipline of the Military Academy. Just now in the cafeteria, because of a freshman’s blabbering, everyone was punished together.
Now that they were caught playing cards in the dormitory, they would definitely face a new punishment.
Zhang Cheng and the other two were still feeling a slight pain in their chest muscles.
The man who had just spoken was their senior brother, at the moment his expression was dark and he did not say a word, it was as if a volcano was about to erupt in the next second.
It could be seen that this senior brother must be very angry. The punishment that Zhao Rui and the others would face would also be very severe!
Chi Heng hurriedly threw the cards in his hands onto the table. Then, he walked up to the tall man with a big smile.
“Sorry, instructor. We just took out the poker cards and didn’t have time to play for long before you came. I promise I will never play poker in the dormitory again. Please let us off this time.”
If the canned food hadn’t been taken away, Chi Heng would use the canned food to appease this senior brother.
Chi Heng’s family owned a canned food factory. He often accompanied his father to dine with clients and local government officials. He had been influenced by such things since he was young.
“Have you guys really just started?” The soldier seemed to believe Chi Heng’s words and asked him back.
Chi Heng quickly said, “Yes, we just took out our poker cards and you came in within three minutes.”
Chi Heng wanted to bluff his way out of this, but Zhao Rui couldn’t take it anymore.
“We’ve been playing for half an hour before you spoke,” Zhao Rui stood up and admitted.
The tall soldier immediately became angry. He closed the dormitory door.
Then he looked at Zhao Rui with a livid face. “Do you know Odin Academy’s rules and regulations? Playing cards in the dormitory will be punished.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know that the Military Academy had such rules. If I had known beforehand, the four of us would definitely not have done anything like that.
But since it has already happened, I’m willing to accept any punishment.”
Zhao Rui straightened his back and looked at the soldier. There was no fear in his eyes.
Hearing Zhao Rui admit it, Chi Heng, Bai Xiaofei, and Zhang Cheng all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Was this brother’s brain damaged? Initially, Chi Heng had already gotten away with it, but Zhao Rui actually told the truth to the instructor. It would be strange if the instructor didn’t punish them now!
However, the tall and strong man didn’t stay angry. Instead, he revealed a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.
“I’ve been watching you guys for at least ten minutes. You guys were so engrossed in your game that you didn’t even notice me…”
Upon hearing the instructor’s words, cold sweat started to break out on Chi Heng’s forehead.
It’s over! It’s over!
Not only were they caught playing poker in the dorm, Chi Heng had also lied to the instructor!
Chi Heng did not dare to imagine what kind of punishment he would face. He even considered if he could get out of bed tomorrow morning.
However, the tall and strong soldier changed the topic. “But you are still relatively honest and did not lie to me completely, so I will let you off this time. But you must not play cards in the dormitory in the future.”
Upon hearing the person’s words, the four finally relaxed.
Fortunately, Zhao Rui had confessed to the instructor, otherwise they wouldn’t know what kind of punishment they would receive!
“Thank you, instructor.”
“Instructor, don’t worry, we won’t play poker anymore.”
Chi Heng, Bai Xiaofei immediately said gratefully.
“Don’t call me instructor…”
The person waved his hand and explained, “I’m not an instructor, I’m just two years ahead of you. My name is He Jian.”
It turned out that He Jian was not a teacher of the Military Academy. It was because He Jian was tall and strong and since they were just freshmen, they thought He Jian was their instructor.
“Then senior, why did you come to our dormitory?”
Previously, Elena had brought the freshmen to the dormitory to let them familiarize themselves with the environment, while the other seniors had come to take away Zhao Rui and the others’ source of electronic entertainment.
Therefore, Zhao Rui was very clear that He Jian would not come to the freshmen dormitory for no reason. He must have also come with a reason.
Just as he expected. “You’re a really smart kid,” He Jian looked at Zhao Rui and said approvingly.
Then He Jian looked at the others and said, “I came to the dormitory to register the reason why you came to Odin Academy. You should know that Odin Academy’s training is one of the most rigorous in the world. What is the reason that made you come to this school to suffer?”
As soon as the senior finished speaking, Bai Xiaofei lowered his head, as if there was some unspeakable reason that made Bai Xiaofei apply to the Military Academy.
“Let’s start with you.”
The senior turned his head and said to Zhao Rui.
Zhao Rui answered without hesitation, “Because my parents were both outstanding soldiers, I must also become an outstanding soldier. No, I want to be even more outstanding than my parents!”
“I see, it’s because of the influence of your parents. You didn’t lie to me just now?”
“Yes, my parents told me since I was young that soldiers must be loyal and honest, and they taught me the same thing.”
He Jian looked at Chi Heng and asked, “What about you?”
“I…”
Chi Heng looked a little embarrassed, but after taking a deep breath, he said generously, “I’m chasing a girl.”
“What? Chasing a girl?”
Zhang Cheng asked curiously, “You chased a girl into the army? Is the person you like in the army?”
“No.”
“The girl I like said that she likes men who are soldiers. In order to chase her, I came to join the army,” Chi Heng immediately explained.
They did not expect this little fatty to be a hopeless romantic. After Chi Heng finished speaking, everyone in the dormitory could not help but laugh.
Even He Jian laughed. He looked at Zhang Cheng and gestured for him to tell him the reason for joining the Military Academy.
“My father was a border guard. During the arrest of the illegal immigrants who were carrying drugs, my father was killed by the drug dealers. I want to inherit my father’s career, so I came to the Military Academy.”
Zhang Cheng, like Zhao Rui, was influenced by his parents and chose to become a soldier. However, compared to Zhao Rui, whose parents were still alive, Zhang Cheng looked very pitiful.
Traces of sadness flashed across the corners of Zhang Cheng’s eyes.
The cheerful atmosphere created by Chi Heng’s words in the dormitory had completely disappeared. After Zhang Cheng finished explaining the reason for joining the military, even the air became heavy.
“What about you? What reason made you choose the Military Academy?”
The senior looked at Bai Xiaofei.
A bitter smile appeared on Bai Xiaofei’s face, he said to everyone, “Because I’m poor, my father has been paralyzed in bed for many years while my mother left with another man. I couldn’t afford to go to any other school and the state would send me a sum of money if I enrolled in the Military Academy which I could then send home.”
The air in the dormitory became even heavier.
Zhao Rui made up his mind to take good care of his two roommates who had been through a lot..
