The training for special trainees is much more rigorous than that of regular academies. Running outdoors with weights is just the basic warm-up.
Even though they were all selected from regular academies, it was still somewhat difficult to immediately catch up with the special trainees’ courses.
Running up the hill, the weighted backpack became a burden, and their legs felt like they were filled with lead, struggling to climb upwards.
Gu Tong lowered her head, sweat dripping onto her military boots. She frowned and looked up, meeting a pair of eyes with a half-smile.
"Officer Lan, are you free?"
Ignoring the big academy, he focused his attention on her, a new recruit. This officer of the new student camp really seemed to be quite bored.
"How did you know?" Lan Siming made a surprised expression, clearly teasing her.
Gu Tong gritted her teeth, but couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and continued to walk forward.
"Actually, if you’re tired, you can tell me. If your physical ability is lacking, maybe your Artifact Technique is accurate. If that’s not it, perhaps you’re a fighting expert. So if you have any special skills, feel free to tell me, and I might ease your training burden."
Lan Siming was walking backward, with a smug expression that made Gu Tong feel like punching him.
He mustn’t think he is some special talent, hence the special treatment in the new student camp, right?
"I can perform surgery," Gu Tong said truthfully.
Don’t be ridiculous. The Royal Hospital of the academy has Royal Doctors, and they are special talents. The Royal Hospital is not willing to let them go. Even if the academy wanted them, no Royal Doctor would come here to suffer.
It seemed that this Gu Tong was unwilling to tell the truth.
Gu Tong couldn’t be bothered with him, and quickly continued climbing upwards. As her hand reached out to the rock, she felt her wrist being grabbed, and she frowned with displeasure.
"Let me read your palm," Lan Siming said, turning her small hand and glancing at her palm.
But just that one glance left him incredibly disappointed; there were no calluses as he imagined, seemed unlike a fighter’s hand, but rather a lady’s delicate hand.
If Gu Tong still didn’t understand his meaning, she’d be a complete fool. She withdrew her hand and jokingly said, "I have a great fate, right!"
"Yes, an extraordinarily good one," Lan Siming said earnestly.
But in his heart, he kept pondering just what was so special about this Gu Tong that even Li Yan would greet him...
The academy was still moving forward, and his time was running out, "If you’re tired, just take a rest for a while."
Normally, people who haven’t undergone training before can’t handle sudden participation in training. Lan Siming didn’t want to exhaust someone to the point of breakdown, so he graciously made an exception.
Gu Tong didn’t force herself and instead chose to rest appropriately. She leaned against the rock, removing all the weights on her body. Her eyelashes drooped, her eyes stared dazedly at her palm. In her previous life, her hands were indeed full of calluses, but they vanished with her rebirth.
It’s just... her current physique was really too poor... after walking for a short while, she’s panting heavily, unable to even compare with a regular new recruit’s standards...
Remembering her previous life, she went through countless hardships to increase her physical ability, training in fighting techniques and Artifact Techniques... Now everything had to start over...
In this life, she had no intention of continuing as a pampered lady. She wanted to protect those around her and never let the tragedies of her past life happen again!
