"Any problems?" Ackman looked at Yu Manman.
"No problem, instructor!"
Leading the team? Easy! What’s so hard about it.
The surrounding Beastmen listened to Instructor Ackman’s words, their expressions cracking.
Letting Yu Manman lead the team wasn’t what bothered them most; what bothered them most was that, according to Ackman, after training, they would have to run back to school themselves...
"Alright, fall in!"
At Ackman’s command, they had no choice but to stand up straight in their exhaustion.
Ackman glanced at Yu Manman, directly pulling her to the front, standing next to him, having her face the cadets of the same company.
Yu Manman felt slightly awkward. Even if she was supposed to lead, wasn’t this a bit too much?
Yu Manman could only stand silently, looking at the dozens of people in front of her, many of whom had fallen behind and weren’t present.
"Report..." Yu Manman saw Wu Yingyue.
Wu Yingyue’s originally fair face had turned flushed, her bangs were wet with sweat.
Initially, it seemed like Wu Yingyue’s condition might not last to the end, but unexpectedly, with an extraordinary willpower, she made it to the end.
Wu Yingyue seemed unstable on her feet, and Yu Manman quickly reached out a hand to support her.
Wu Yingyue gratefully looked at Yu Manman.
Ackman looked at them, "Take her to rest on the side for ten minutes, then return to the team in ten minutes!"
The team wasn’t all there yet, but Ackman wasn’t in any rush, standing straight across from them.
After a long time, finally, someone couldn’t help but ask, "Instructor, how long do we have to stand here?"
Ackman glanced at the person indifferently, "Report before speaking!"
Hernans suppressed his dissatisfaction, "Report!"
"Speak." Ackman slightly parted his lips.
"How long do we have to stand here?" Hernans reluctantly repeated the question.
"When everyone returns to the team, that’s when we’ll start training!"
Hernans was about to erupt, "You didn’t say that beforehand! Moreover, if they keep not coming, do we have to keep standing here?"
Damn, it’s scorching!
"Yes." Ackman’s tone didn’t waver a bit.
Hernans gritted his teeth, looking at Ackman as if he wanted to eat him alive.
They stood for another hour, and complaints started to form in their minds, some even fainted once.
After all this time, those who fell behind should have crawled over by now!
They quietly observed, trying to figure out who still hadn’t come over!
"Report!"
Yu Manman stood under the sun, facing directly toward the sunlight, sweat slipping from her forehead.
Upon hearing that voice from behind, Yu Manman couldn’t help but cry out to the heavens...
Isn’t that Mu Yaoyao’s voice?
Yu Manman glanced out of the corner of her eye, Mu Yaoyao, with help from two Beastmen, slowly approached.
Everyone originally had a pack, but at this moment, Mu Yaoyao seemed carefree, aside from looking a bit weary, there was no major issue.
It could even be said that her complexion looked better than those who stood for over an hour.
"I’m sorry, instructor, I’m not in good health and came late." Mu Yaoyao looked at Ackman innocently, "The other two students were slow just to take care of me, please don’t be mad, instructor..."
Mu Yaoyao suddenly noticed Yu Manman standing at the front of the team, her face sunburned red, and couldn’t help feeling happy.
"Manman, did you make the instructor mad? Why are you standing here?"
Yu Manman honestly kept her mouth shut, not saying a word.
But in Mu Yaoyao’s eyes, that was tantamount to admitting it.
"Instructor... Yu Manman must not have meant to make you mad, please don’t blame her?"
The new students opposite Yu Manman exchanged glances, all of them impatient.
Can they stop talking? They’ve been standing for more than an hour already!
"Fall in!" Ackman didn’t like unnecessary talk.
Mu Yaoyao, hiding her schadenfreude, gave Yu Manman an eye of helplessness.
Yu Manman really wanted to roll her eyes at her!
After the last three joined the team, Ackman gave the order: "At ease!"
"Attention!"
"At ease!"
"Rest in place for three minutes!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved their stiff bodies!
Taking this opportunity, Ackman said, "Starting today, when the morning bell rings, you have only ten minutes to assemble, and if the personnel are not complete in ten minutes, everyone will do push-ups until everyone’s present!"
Mu Yaoyao glanced at Yu Manman standing in front.
If she purposely slowed down, would Yu Manman have to do push-ups?
But this thought only stayed in her mind for a moment before she gave it up.
No way, that would only offend others.
Although she didn’t care much about these people, it wouldn’t be good for her reputation.
"Every morning, from the school to the training ground, you must arrive within two hours! One minute late, one minute of extra training! If people are not present, you’ll stand until everyone is there."
"Today... you were an hour and twenty-seven minutes late, but considering it’s your first day, extra training is not necessary."
Everyone was full of resentment.
No extra training, but they stood under the sun for over an hour!
"Instead of complaining here, you should think about how to not be late." Ackman’s words made them silently close their mouths.
And in the team, Mu Yaoyao’s face turned beet red, bowing her head to hide her embarrassment.
Why didn’t they say earlier?
If they said it earlier, she wouldn’t have leisurely jogged two steps and walked ten...
She’s a female! And an A-level Purification Master, can’t she get some special treatment?
Mu Yaoyao felt angry, and after a while, when she raised her head again, her eyes were already red, teary.
"S-sorry, I didn’t know... it’s my fault for dragging everyone down..." Mu Yaoyao sniffed, feeling wronged and pitiful.
"How can this be your fault? You didn’t know!" The Beastman who had followed Mu Yaoyao comforted her.
"Don’t worry, next time I’ll try my best to keep up with the team and not drag everyone down." Mu Yaoyao gathered her strength.
Since Mu Yaoyao said so, and looking so pitiful, naturally they felt embarrassed to blame her further.
She is a female, it’s normal for her to have a weaker constitution.
"Rest time is up! All hands, attention!"
"Follow me to the training ground!"
Ackman took them all to the training ground.
The scorching sun baked the training ground, dust swirling in the hot air. Their training practically mirrored military training, making anyone watching feel like fainting.
Ackman not only introduced the projects they would train on for the next month but also personally demonstrated them.
In less than ten minutes, Ackman showcased all ten-plus projects.
Yu Manman watched Ackman running on the field, his resolute expression while shooting, and felt admiration arise in her heart!
He’s truly amazing!
