Shi Man’s words completely aroused Yue Hui’s competitive spirit.
He looked at Shi Man with a dark expression. He did not expect her to dare to declare war on him in front of so many people. His lips slowly curled into an extremely mocking smile. “Alright, then choose what you’re good at. You’re a woman, so 1 should give in to you.”
Shi Man sneered and said, “You don’t have to treat women differently because women aren’t inferior to you men. Choose what you’re best at, lest others say that I bullied you.”
His words made Yue Hui’s face turn green.
He snorted and turned his head. “You asked for it.”
Since she dared to boast, she would be the one to lose face anyway. It had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, he wouldn’t mind if he could squeeze out a woman who had risen to power through improper relationships. Why not?
The instructor of the phalanx beside her was one of the men Shi Man had seen in the office in the morning.
Seeing that Shi Man did not start for a long time, he thought that she had encountered some problem, so he let the students in his class finish their warm-up training alone. Then, he jogged over to Shi Man. “What happened?”
Shi Man raised her chin slightly and pointed in the direction of Yue Hui. “This student seems to be very unconvinced of me and wants to challenge me.”
“What are you doing!” The man immediately roared in a low voice. “Yue Hui! As the class monitor, you’ve always been steady. Today, you actually led the way to cause trouble. You can’t set an example. I’ll punish you to run ten kilometers with weights before coming back to continue training!”
Yue Hui frowned, his eyes filled with determination. “Instructor Fang, 1 have to compete today. As long as she can beat me, I’m willing to admit defeat even if it’s 20 kilometers!”
Hearing this, Shi Man raised her eyebrows with interest. “It’s a deal.”
“Noway!”
The man’s rejection was almost synchronized with Shi Man’s.
He explained to her with a headache, “Instructor Shi, you’ve just come to the army and might not know the rules of the army. There’s definitely no precedent for students to challenge others privately and take up training time. You have to know that the training in the army is not like the military school. There are many training activities every day. If you waste time like this, I’m afraid your class won’t even be able to make it for dinner in the end.”
Shi Man shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “1 know your good intentions, but if we don’t compete today, do you think my training can continue?”
Fang Mo was stunned for a moment before turning to look at the surrounding students with high fighting spirit. Everyone’s eyes flickered with anticipation, as if they were looking forward to the unprecedented competition.
Fang Mo sighed.
He did not expect Shi Man to not even be able to build a good relationship with her subordinates on her first day here.
Was Chief Lu’s decision really correct?
He did not know what Shi Man was capable of, but if Chu Yue was here now, these students would definitely not dare to be so impudent.
As an instructor in the army, other than having outstanding ability, the most important thing was to be able to suppress the soldiers under him.
Otherwise, one would be like Shi Man now. Her subordinates were actually unwilling to listen to her and were all led away by Yue Hui.
But in the years that Chu Yue had been teaching in the army, nothing like this had ever happened.
Speaking of which, Shi Man was still inferior to Chu Yue.
It seemed that this competition was inevitable.
Fang Mo took a step back and compromised. “Alright, but you can’t take up too much time. What do you want to compete in? I’ll be the judge.”
“Okay.”
Shi Man took a step forward and stood in front of Yue Hui without dodging. She only glanced at him lightly before turning her gaze to the students standing in a phalanx.
She did not know how Chu Yue usually trained her subordinates, but standard military posture was the most basic skill a soldier had to master. It was also a habit that fused with their bones and blood.
These people could not even stand properly in the military posture after training. It could be seen how free and undisciplined they were usually.
It was indeed time to deal with it.
Shi Man slowly curled her lips into a cold smile. “You can all participate in this competition. If you want to win against me, you can be considered on the side of Yue Hui. If he loses later, you have to receive the same punishment as him. Moreover, after the punishment is over, you have to continue to complete the training you should have today. Otherwise, you can’t eat. The rest of you can consider be considered as as supporting me.”
Hearing Shi Man’s words, the people below were completely dumbfounded. They did not expect this practice to affect them.
Yue Hui didn’t know what she was up to. He frowned and asked impatiently, “Consider it as supporting you? What do you mean by that?”
Shi Man smiled and said, “If you lose, the people who support me naturally won’t be punished. They just have to finish today’s daily training.”
Yue Hui narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, “What if you lose?”
Shi Man smiled confidently. “It’s impossible for me to lose.”
Yue Hui was still staring at her. “If you lose, let Instructor Chu come back. You can leave..”
