Chapter 9: Collective Punishment

Translator: Li_Voon_Loke

Senior He Jian had already told the four of them where to gather for the morning exercise last night.

Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten. Many of the freshmen were going to participate in the morning exercises like Zhao Rui and the others.

It would be very difficult to stand out among so many freshmen. It would be extremely difficult to climb up the ranks.

Looking at the freshmen who were shoulder to shoulder with each other, each and every one of them was as fast as lightning, Zhao Rui couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

The goal that Zhao Rui had set for himself was to become the King of Soldiers and become the most outstanding graduate of the Odin Military Academy.

It seemed like achieving this goal was nothing more than a pipe dream.

However, Zhao Rui had to do it. Since there had to be one person who would become the strongest, why couldn’t it be Zhao Rui himself?

Five minutes later, Zhao Rui and the recruits arrived at the South Sports Ground where the morning exercises were held.

The person in charge of the new recruits’ morning drill was a sturdy-looking african-american officer.

Probably because they had already been punished in the cafeteria yesterday, most of the new students could accept the intensity of the morning drill.

For Zhao Rui, the intensity of this training was far less than the training in the training space last night.

Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Cheng, who came from a poor family, could also completely adapt to this kind of training.

Only Chi Heng, who came from a well-to-do family, found it difficult to do morning exercises. In the last thousand meters, Chi Heng almost fell behind.

Fortunately, the morning exercises had ended. The military officer ordered the team to gather again. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have given the freshmen a few words of training before sending them away to eat.

At this moment, a group of strong-looking seniors in military uniforms walked in front of the instructor. The leader of the seniors took out a form and handed it to the instructor with both hands.

When he saw the form, Zhao Rui felt his heart sink.

He had a vague feeling that there would be other orders for this morning’s exercise.

Sure enough, the officer read out two names according to the form: “Andrew and Wang Zi of Dormitory 1-103, step out!”

The first number the instructor read out was the dormitory building, and the last number was the dormitory door number.

This year’s freshmen were all placed in the first dormitory building.

Zhao Rui and the others’ dormitory door number was 424, so their dormitory number was 1-424.

As soon as the instructor finished speaking, the two freshmen walked out of the line shakily.

“Do you know why we called you two out?” The instructor asked with a livid face.

“Because we didn’t fold the quilt properly,” the freshman named Wang Zi answered carefully.

“Then why didn’t you tidy it up? Tell us your reasons,” the instructor asked again.

“The time left for us to finish the chore is really too short, instructor. Just getting up and putting on my clothes will take me a long time…”

Andrew originally wanted to talk back, but when he raised his head and saw the instructor’s terrifying gaze, Andrew didn’t dare to say anything else.

Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Cheng immediately realized that the form given to the instructor by the senior was an inspection of the internal affairs compliance.

The two of them have started to groan in their hearts.

Their quilts were not folded properly, so they would definitely be called out and punished!

However, Zhang Cheng was not too worried.

As long as they accepted this punishment, they would not have to worry about folding quilts anymore, because their dormitory had Chi Heng’s hacking technique.

Zhang Cheng was secretly delighted.

Putting the quilt into a cardboard box and stomping on it twice would have a better effect than folding it.

“The other two people from dormitory 1-103, step out together!”

As the instructor gave the order, Andrew and Wang Zi’s two roommates also walked out of the group.

“A dormitory is one entity. Your comrades did not complete the mission, so the two of you will be punished together!”

The two recruits did not dare to argue in front of the strict instructor. They calmly accepted the fact that they would be punished together.

Seeing this scene, Chi Heng already thought of being dragged down by Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Cheng!

He could not help but grumble in his heart.

He had finished his chore excellently, but..

Then, the instructor began to read out the names of the recruits who failed the internal affairs inspection one by one according to the form. The roommates of these recruits had no choice but to step out together to accept the upcoming punishment.

However, what was very strange was that after the instructor finished reading out the names of those in the “1-423” dorm, he did not continue with the names of Zhao Rui and the others in dorm “1-424”. Instead, he went straight to the names of those who failed the inspection on the fifth floor.

Zhao Rui and the others were baffled.

However, Chi Heng, Bai Xiaofei, Zhang Cheng, and the others began to rejoice because they could be exempted from the punishment.

Zhao Rui, on the other hand, was anxious. Odin Academy’s discipline was very strict, ihe seniors in charge of internal affairs would not have left any dormitory behind.

This morning, the blankets that Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Cheng folded were obviously unqualified. Why weren’t their names read out by the instructor?

Very quickly, the questions in Zhao Rui’s mind were answered.

After reading the list of unqualified freshmen, the instructor issued a punishment, “All the recruits who stepped out just now run another 3,000 meters on the field. If you fail the internal affairs’ inspection again tomorrow, run another 6,000 meters.”

“The rest of you go to the cafeteria for breakfast. The ones from 1-424 dormitory stay behind.” The instructor’s tone was very calm.

This sudden order made Zhao Rui and the others nervous, and they were even more silent now.

Sure enough, the instructor wouldn’t let them go, but why did the instructor specifically leave their dorm out?

If the quilt wasn’t folded properly, they could just run laps on the field like the others?

“You are really bold. It hasn’t even been a day since school started, and you dare to be sneaky!”

When everyone was almost gone, the instructor glared at the four of them and said angrily.

Chi Heng immediately reacted. It must be due to the fact that the seniors who were inspecting the dorm discovered that he used a cardboard box to fold the quilt. That was why the instructor was so angry now.

Chi Heng’s small eyes turned quickly. He wanted to quickly think of something to calm the instructor.

However, the instructor’s words frightened Chi Heng so much that he could not think of any ideas.

“Do you know that this is a military academy? Are you preparing to use little tricks to deal with the internal affairs inspection? If that’s the case, then the four of you can just go home. Odin Academy doesn’t need people who only know how to play dirty tricks!” The instructor became more and more furious.

Previously, Chi Heng had despised his two roommates for dragging him down. Now, Chi Heng was afraid that he would implicate everyone.

If the quilt wasn’t folded properly, he would only be told to run laps on the field as punishment.

But him using a cardboard box to fold the quilt had actually led the instructor to threaten them with expulsion!

“Instructor, it’s true that we didn’t handle our internal affairs properly this morning and even tried to muddle through. This is indeed our fault, but please give us a chance. We can accept any punishment.”

Zhao Rui quickly apologized to the instructor. After all, the four brothers in their dormitory had a reason to stay in the military academy, and none of them wanted to be expelled..
