Chapter 287 - Picking on Her 3: Unreasonable Demand

“What sort of place is our military university? It’s an institution of learning for serious and disciplined soldiers!”

“Everyone who comes here needs to show they are worthy of their place here. It was only a fifty-meters target, and you dare say your results were outstanding?”

Qin Huai’s lips were arched sarcastically. When he saw Gu Qingjiu’s head slightly lowered, he said sternly again, “Raise your head! What happened to adhering to the rules? What in the world did you learn during your six months’ training in the troops?”

Brutal...

His words were too brutal...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Those students who were waiting to watch a good show couldn’t help thinking to themselves.

Some of these students came from local institutions of learning and got in through tests, whereas some were selected from the troops.

But they hadn’t practiced a fifty-meter target for that long either. After all, they were only freshmen.

It wasn’t a stretch to say that Gu Qingjiu’s results were outstanding.

This was despite them having no idea how long Gu Qingjiu had practiced on the fifty-meters target.

The shooting class instructor frowned. Qin Huai was getting way overboard.

No wonder the higher-ups would rather hand the position of the Chief Instructor to that person who came in through connections and not him.

He was scolding a young lady such awful words before so many people.

Even if military rules were sacred, she didn’t actually commit a grave mistake. Furthermore, she had a very good attitude.

Instead of picking on the new Chief Instructor, why was he picking on an innocent young lady?

“Alright, Commanding Officer Qin.” Unable to watch on further, the shooting class instructor Xiong Xuejian spoke out once more.

“Since she already admitted to her mistake, I need to carry on with the class. Let her fall in and train with the rest.”

“Let her train with the rest? When she’s only able to keep up with a fifty-meters target?”

Qin Huai sputtered with laughter, then shouted loudly at Gu Qingjiu. “From today onwards, train here until midnight every day. If you don’t hit the bullseye, you are not allowed to eat dinner! One week later, I’ll test you. If you don’t succeed in hitting the bullseye, scram back to your troops!”

After he had finished screaming, Qin Huai seemed to finally feel much better, and he turned to leave.

Leaving behind the dazed and shaken Gu Qingjiu.

Everyone was staring at her.

There was sympathy in their eyes, as well as an expression that couldn’t be read.

What did a hundred-meters target mean?

According to the target set by the military school, it was likened to a palm-sized copper mirror placed a hundred meters away from you, and you are required to hit the center of that mirror.

Even though this batch of freshmen had some sort of foundation already, it was only recently that they started practicing with a hundred-meters target. Only those who were particularly talented, or those who got lucky, managed to strike the bullseye. At that moment, there were less than ten who managed to strike the bullseye of a hundred-meters target among the batch.

Moreover, Gu Qingjiu had never practiced with a hundred-meters target before.

Now, she was asked to practice until midnight every day. If she didn’t hit the bullseye, she wasn’t allowed to go for dinner.

Then there was that serious consequence should she fail...

Gu Qingjiu felt so unlucky!

Even if Gu Qingjiu managed to hit the bullseye within a week, the most important thing was that if Gu Qingjiu couldn’t hit the bullseye on the day when Commanding Officer Qin Huai tested her, it wouldn’t count.

Who in the world could hit the bullseye of a hundred-meters target within a week of practice?

That wouldn’t be a human, that would be a god!

If she could achieve that, she would become a legendary figure adored by everyone in school!

Qin Huai wouldn’t be able to show her such an attitude if that was the case.

Xiong Xuejian’s countenance was rather awful too.

As the freshmen’s shooting instructor, by right he should be the one meting out the punishment.

But Qin Huai was of an extraordinary identity; also, he was the commanding officer.

As such, Xiong Xuejian couldn’t go against Qin Huai’s order in that particular matter.
