Kindergarten

The lineup assessment that afternoon unexpectedly ended before four o’clock. Wu Jianfeng had planned for everyone to rest for an hour and gather at five o’clock, but Class Five and most of the other classes had already completed their assessments.

Some squads were dragging out soldiers who had been deducted from the lineup, while others were running as a whole unit.

On the track, Class Five ran forward in one mind.

Qin Li, on Wang Ye’s left, was gasping for breath heavily, struggling to keep up. His steps were unsteady, and his running posture was wavering. He felt like he was about to collapse, and if it weren’t for the support of those around him, he would have fallen to the ground.

“Take deep breaths… Pay attention to your breathing, focus on the rhythm, and get into the flow of the game. Cooperate… follow your footsteps!” Even Wang Ye was panting while offering encouragement to Qin Li.

The rigorous training was taking its toll on everyone, but they persisted, pushing their limits to the maximum.

If he were alone, he wouldn’t be in such a situation. But now, he had to run and support others. The rapid increase in physical strain was draining his energy.

“Hurry up…Hurry… Ninth class…Class 9 is catching up!” Ye Sanshi, the guy who threatened to punish him, was also part of the team. He looked back, pulled the two people beside him, and rushed forward.

But they were all struggling.

There were eleven people in the class. How could he possibly carry them all by himself?

“All… They’re all running…Hurry… Class 9 is catching up!”

“Keep going… We can’t catch up…We have to… Class monitor… Don’t… Don’t shout… They’re really running…! can’t run anymore!”

As a sports student, he felt utterly exhausted.

They had no choice. The few of them with good physical strength now had to bear the burden of motivating the entire class.

The exhaustion was overwhelming.

However, as Liang Fan had said, Class 9 behind them wasn’t faring any better.

They, too, ran hand in hand like Class 5.

Because if they didn’t, someone would undoubtedly fall behind.

Soldiers couldn’t leave their comrades behind, so they had no choice but to run like this.

Nevertheless, due to the fierce competition between the two classes, the initial 100-meter sprint and the following 400-meter lap had drained everyone’s strength.

Usually, three kilometers weren’t that challenging.

By gritting his teeth and pushing and pulling those with good physical fitness, he could usually manage.

But today, it was five kilometers.

With these last two kilometers, surviving like this seemed too difficult…

“Fuck…”

Lying on the slightly wet track, Wang Ye gazed up at the sky. His entire body sprawled out, breathing heavily while cursing helplessly in his heart.

He didn’t want to lie there, and he hadn’t finished running the full five kilometers.

The reason he ended up like this was that someone had fallen on the side, causing others to exhaust their strength and collapse on the track together.

“Get up… Get up… Get up…” Even after Ye Sanshi fell, he tried to get up and pull himself together.

However, no one could manage to get up.

In fact, Class 9 behind them had also collapsed on the track.

They had been relying on Class 5’s runners to set the pace for their breathing.

When Class 5 fell, they, too, were disheartened.

In this situation, Wang Ye’s attempt to complete the five kilometers for his skill transformation could be considered a failure.

If he hadn’t run the full distance, how could he have successfully transformed his skill?

As Wang Ye lay on the track, he turned his head to look behind him.

The two classes were now more than twenty meters apart.

No one made a sound. They were all heavily panting, unable to utter a word as they were when they first started running.

In this state, there was no time or energy to mock each other…

After resting for about 50 to 60 seconds, the two classes finally stood up again under the persistent shouts of their squad leaders. They saw the recruits from the other side getting up one by one as well.

They had to continue…

Wang Ye was determined not to give up on the military camp until he achieved his goal.

Although everyone hadn’t fully recovered their strength yet, the five-kilometer goal was set, and it became a mission they were determined to accomplish.

Even if they fell down halfway, they were still alive. As long as they could get up, the mission had to continue.

“Come on, gather up!”

After the grueling five-kilometer run, Class Five arrived at the assembly point seven or eight seconds earlier. Ye Sanshi took deep breaths, trying to calm his racing heart.

When Class 9 arrived, Ye Sanshi gave them a stern warning while they were still catching their breaths.

Then, he left with Class 5.

He didn’t even give the 9th class monitor a chance to catch his breath before responding.

This made the 9th Squad Leader, who was still panting, look helplessly at Ye Sanshi’s departing figure.

He really wanted to say that it wasn’t like he won either.

Their class had already started running ahead of their class. It’s not as if they began from the same starting line.

But now, he was gasping heavily and couldn’t even form a coherent sentence.

Stammering, he managed to utter something that made him appear even more uncertain.

Oh well.

He was already used to Ye Sanshi’s antics.

Five o’clock.

When Class 5 returned to the dormitory, they didn’t bother changing their clothes or sitting on their chairs before the assembly whistle sounded downstairs.

“Do you think you can breathe a sigh of relief just because you passed the test?”

Today’s gathering was different from the usual routine.

Normally, Wu Jianfeng wouldn’t waste time with unnecessary talk. After the gathering, he would simply give a few instructions and lead everyone straight into training.

But today, Wu Jianfeng seemed unhurried as they gathered downstairs.

Looking at the recruits in front of him, Wu Jianfeng shouted, “Let me tell you, you shouldn’t relax just because you passed the initial test. The real test is about to begin.”

“Forming a formation and running three kilometers, do you think that’s what real training is? That’s merely the kindergarten stage – teaching you how to behave like students in a classroom, but we’re far from done!”

With a smile on his face, he continued, “Of course, 1 must congratulate you as well. Congratulations on ‘graduating’ from kindergarten today!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye couldn’t help but feel a sense of awkwardness. Is this the kind of metaphor they were using?

After a month of relentless hard work, their sweat could probably fill a bucket.

Yet, in Wu Jianfeng’s words, it was all reduced to kindergarten play.

He couldn’t help but feel speechless at the comparison.

At this moment, Wu Jianfeng spoke again, addressing the potential discomfort among the recruits. “Are you all feeling unconvinced that 1 compared you to preschoolers? Do you find it inappropriate?”

“Hehe, actually, what 1 want to say is, don’t be offended.”

“A real soldier needs to be capable of fighting and have combat effectiveness. What about you guys? At the moment, you can only be described as soldiers who can stand, walk, and sit. Do you possess any fighting capacity?”

“You haven’t even touched a gun, and you don’t know how to fight. If you’re not like kindergartners, then what are you?”

Wu Jianfeng showed no concern for the recruits’ feelings as he continued to provoke them.

“But don’t worry, I just mentioned that you guys have ‘graduated’ from kindergarten. Now, you will enter primary school.”

“From this point onwards, we will train you to transform from soldiers who merely know how to stand, walk, and sit into soldiers with combat effectiveness.”

“Attention!”

A platoon leader stepped forward and bellowed the command.

Then, he led the team in the opposite direction of the usual training ground where everyone had been practicing.
