(This bonus chapter is dedicated to Alliance Hierarch "DM2356"!)
Clearly, the situation here had beco clear enough for both, the Ship's Second Formation and the dical Seventh Formation, to see plainly.
"Looks like there's sothing going on over there."
"There's been an incident in the Ship's First Formation."
"They've got sothing to watch now, pity they can't hear what's being said."
A harsh shout ca through, "You, and you, and you—co out here and stand at attention!"
Thus, a few miserable boys from the neighboring Second Formation were also called out.
However, as the dical Departnt was almost entirely made up of girls, the instructor there unprecedentedly turned a blind eye to that group of twittering young ladies.
It just can't be helped, virile military officers simply find it difficult to be overly harsh with such a large group of beauties, and this privilege is exclusively reserved for the dical Departnt—after all, who knows if one of these girls might end up treating them in the future?
In the vast training ground populated by tens of thousands, this incident did not cause much of a stir, but in the nearby clique, it had already beco a focal point.
Hearing Wang Nuonuo's words, the glum-faced officer turned his head, staring at Wang Nuonuo's elfin face without any hint of compassion.
"Do you know him?"
"I know him, he's my friend!" Wang Nuonuo fearlessly t his gaze.
How dare he bully an adult—that was the sa as bullying her, Wang Nuonuo!
"Good, tell your departnt and na, captain of the team."
"Ship Command Departnt—Wang Nuonuo!"
The girl's voice was crisp and decisive, displaying Nuonuo's straightforward nature without a doubt.
The boys' formation behind her burst into an uproar.
Related majors in Ship included Combat Command, Ship Machinery, Radar Engineering, Electronic Counterasures, Information Security, Power Engineering, and so on—various specialized majors.
One could say that as the major with the highest entry requirents and the highest starting point after graduation, the Command Departnt attracted the most attention among ship-related majors.
Those who were admitted into the Ship Command Departnt were without exception, the sons of gods, the daughters of heaven.
Moreover, almost all noble families' first choice was to send their children to this major, so much information had already leaked through various channels even before admission.
To be favored by a Heavenly Pride Girl was like a step to heaven for a commoner student.
Now this goddess they had been keeping an eye on claid to be from the Command Departnt, and had even announced her na, which instantly unsettled those restless young n.
"She's a goddess from the Command Departnt!"
"I told you, with that kind of looks and figure, she couldn't possibly be from any other departnt."
"That bastard actually dared to co over and openly snatch our Command Departnt's goddess, I want to duel him."
This statent provoked instant resonance among the surrounding boys, who began rubbing their hands in eager anticipation.
"I'm ticked off by that guy right now, and I bet our instructor is even more irritated. I'd love to see how he gets his couppance."
"The goddess said her na is... Wang Nuonuo, I like that na."
As a boy finished speaking, several others kicked him in a flash while the instructor wasn't looking, "We like it too, but you're out of the running."
The words "Command Departnt" and "Wang Nuonuo" began to quietly circulate among the new students in this formation.
In contrast to the boys' uniform adoration and the sense of shared enmity,
The situation was not as pleasant among the girls. So high-minded girls looked disdainfully over there and snorted coldly.
Others were staring intently at Wang Nuonuo, though what they were thinking remained completely concealed, still portraying a cool goddess deanor.
Girls from noble families can be well-bred and kind-hearted, pretentious and arrogant, and so are spoiled at ho to the point of being narrow-minded upon seeing others excel.
People are diverse as the grains are the sa.
Wang Nuonuo's delicate and fair face looked straight at the officer, and her wide training uniform could not hide her graceful swan neck. The Loki Heavy Industry princess's charisma unintentionally captivated many.
The young Lieutenant Wang Cheng observed Wang Nuonuo without an ounce of pity or rcy; the beauty in front of him was irrelevant compared to his future ambitions!
"Very well, you'll be punished along with the rest."
"Why!"
"Why!?", "This is an order; I am your instructor," Wang Cheng glanced at Mu Fan, who remained silent.
Hmph!
Wang Nuonuo pursed her lips stubbornly, not uttering a word.
It was then that Mu Fan looked up and said, "No need to call 'instructor' anymore. I accept the punishnt."
He didn't explain why he hadn't participated in the training, why he was there; he rely saw how Wang Nuonuo had stepped up so selflessly and heard so of the whispers from those around them.
How could he let her suffer when Wang Nuonuo had chosen to share a friend's burden at that mont?
"Very well."
Wang Cheng's face bore a chilly air and a strange smile as he pointed out the sports field.
"This is the First Ring Body of Dingchuan Academy, each lap asuring 2000 ters, 15 laps. Only after you finish can you eat. Don't question my abuse of authority; I will apply for permission from my superiors! If you choose to give up, the instructor you call out can take the punishnt for you."
"Oh, damn!"
"Thirty kiloters! Are they trying to run us to death?"
"That officer is so sinister. He still wants the kid to call his instructor. He wants to stand out in this training—MD, so crafty. But I can only say... nicely done!"
"With such cunning, how can one worry about big things not getting achieved?"
Although the remarks were ridiculous, the students who had made it into Dingchuan Academy were the cream of the crop among their peers, and beneath the banter, they managed to extract the truth of the matter bit by bit.
And those several beautiful girls, who clearly wore light makeup despite military training, laughed in others' misfortune.
Thirty kiloters, it would take a whole day to run, wouldn't it?
In the end, they'd collapse, and an officer would have to co over.
Your na is Wang Nuonuo, right? Let's see how you can live up to your friend now.
Wang Nuonuo panicked instantly upon hearing what the instructor had said.
The most she had ever run was during that incident on Purple Jade Star when they encountered the Beast Tide.
Just a few kiloters had caused several blisters on her delicate feet.
And he was talking about thirty kiloters right off the bat!
It wasn't gliding on a jet skateboard, nor riding a motorcycle, and certainly not driving a Floating Car!
This was about making Mu Fan run 15 laps around this sports field in front of over ten thousand people!
"Instructor, why are you being like this? What did he do to deserve punishnt just for sitting here?"
"He disrupted my training formation. It's the most important task for as a military officer this month. Would you say that's important to ?" Wang Cheng retorted.
Wang Nuonuo was montarily lost for words under his fierce intensity.
"You don't need to say anything; I accept," a calm voice ca from behind.
Mu Fan rolled up his sleeves; he saw the stubbornness in Wang Nuonuo's eyes.
This quirky, Elf-like girl, her innocence always managed to hit the softest spot in one's heart.
"Think carefully—fifteen laps, each lap 2 kiloters, with a ti limit of 8 minutes. Finish within 2 hours, go eat. If not, for every minute over, she'll get an extra hour of training."
The young officer pointed at Wang Nuonuo, bold enough to cause a stir in his formation. He wouldn't let her off easily.
"I've thought about it," Mu Fan nodded, signaling he had heard clearly, and looked up at the officer, a head taller than him.
Regardless of whether they knew Mu Fan or not, at that mont, many felt he still retained his manhood, or at least he wasn't wishy-washy.
"Good, that's a man."
Wang Cheng turned to Wang Nuonuo, "Done talking about him, now for you. Your disturbance of the military training is a fact. So you too will be punished."
Wang Nuonuo's bright eyes filled with defiance, "!?"
"Yes, you. Run 5 laps. I'll grant you 30 minutes for each lap," replied Wang Cheng, his face as frosty as ever, showing no rcy.
