Wang Yi and Chen Siyu heard that Fu Ke and Derek would speak on behalf of the freshmen. In order to get close contact with their idols and celebrities, they found a seat in the middle of the front row. Sitting in the corner of the back row, Ning An has always disliked with this kind of leadership speech. After listening to it, he was lethargic under the cover of He Xin. When Fu Ke came on to the stage, he saw Ning An was sitting in the corner. His sleeping posture while sitting was similar to a chicken pecking rice, and he frowned subconsciously.
“Hello everyone, I’m Fu Ke.” Fu Ke stepped on the stage and the students began to applaud spontaneously. Hearing this, the dean and the teaching director who stood next to him joked, “Now it’s the age of young people, us old bones are not so popular on the stage.”
Fu Ke waited until the crowd was quiet before continuing. “I know, many people have heard my name before. But here in this academy, I am just an ordinary student like you.”
“Everyone got in through their own efforts. I think everyone knows that the admission ratio of this school is as low as 1:500, which means that everyone here has beaten at least 500 other people to sit here.” He glanced at Ning An from time to time, yet the other side still didn’t wake up. “But this is just the beginning. Our future competition will only be more intense. I believe everyone is ready. ”
“If there is a winner, there will bound to be a loser. A qualified soldier shall be victorious or defeated. He should be born with talent, and he should be useful. Everyone should find their own position. We must work hard. You can’t ignore your body when you are struggling.” He gave another look towards Ning An’s direction again. The other person still looked like he was in a distant world. Fu Ke wanted to knock his head to see what he was thinking, didn’t he hear that Ning An was saying the military academy was not for him? “Lastly, I’m glad to be classmates with you all. Let us cheer for the next day!”
“Are you feeling better now? The schedule has been sent to all students’ personal terminals. The rest of the morning is free for us to arrange. The theory class starts in the afternoon, and the evening time is also free for us to arrange. Every day after that is a morning run. We have theory class in the morning and physical class in the afternoon. In the second grade, a practical training class will be added, it is still an easy class.” After the meeting, the freshmen left the auditorium in pairs. He Xin was still worried about Ning An.
“I’m alright.”Ning’an was pretty much awake by now, looking around and not seeing Wang Yi and Chen Siyu together with them. “What about the other two?”
“They seem to be going to the training room. Should we go there too?” Unlike Ning An, He Xin has been listening to his speech carefully. At this moment, he was still full of excitement and expectations for his new life in the military academy.
“Alright. By the way, was there anything important in the speech just now?” Ning An followed He Xin and walked in a hurry, remembering that he seemed to have listened to nothing during the speech.
“They welcomed us, and mentioned everyone to study hard. Ah, by the way, the principal said that in order to motivate students, scholarships will be awarded to the top three of each grades from this semester. And obviously, we are separated from the Alpha classes.”
“A scholarship!” Ning’an’s lazy waist returned straight– his entire body was instantly filled with spirit and his eyes were sparkled. “How much? ”
He Xin did not expect that Ning’an would have such a big reaction, and he mentioned an approximate figure in a vague way. Ning An quickly calculated the amount in his mind. If he can get the first-grade scholarship, not only can his tuition and meals for one year be offset, but if he drinks nutrients drink every day, he can save more money; he could save a small amount for meals, add some of his savings. The amount is enough to place a plot of land in the farming and animal husbandry star!
In today’s economy, the food of the original ecology has a hot trend, and the profit made can definitely be doubled. At that time, part of it will be used to expand the cultivation scale and part of it will be used to invest in other things. It is not a dream to embark on the prosperous path!
“Ning An, are you all right?” Ning’an was planning on how to use the scholarship money in the future, and he was taken back by He Xin from his train of thoughts, “I have never been better. I’ve decided; starting today, my goal is the to become first in the grade!”
“Ah? Oh, then I will cheer for you!” Although he didn’t know why Ning An suddenly became motivated, He Xin still happily cheered. Even so, He Xing thought that it was impossible for the scholarship to be Ning An’s root of motivation.
Ning An: Um, it’s because of the scholarship.
By the time Ning An and He Xin arrived to the training room, there was already a circle of people there. Chen Siyu was seated the inner circle when he saw them and he made Wang Yi move to the side to make room for the two.
“What’s happening?” Ning An, who did not waste Chen Siyu’s hard work, also squeezed in, and saw two people fighting on the stage. The fighters seemed to have a similar level of strength. “Is there no teacher to stop the fight?”
“This is a close-up martial arts practice, and the teacher is looking over there.” Ning An saw the teacher on the side along the direction of where Chen Siyu pointed at. “Those two are really amazing. Such reflex, such movements… Well, they are indeed of military origin. ”
“This is also an exam.” Ning An did not forget the goal he had just set. He watched the combat with interest and tried to study a few tricks.
The people on the field were Fu Ke and Derek, and the two usually exchanged in private. The two juniors often consulted each other like this, but they were suddenly surrounded by so many people today. Fu Ke felt a little nervous, especially when he saw Ning An; he almost landed his fist on Derek’s direction. Fortunately, Fu Ke was quick to react and his fist grazed past Derek’s face.
“Fu, you’re distracted. Where are you looking?” Derek was quite used to everyone’s gaze, or he enjoyed this eye-catching feeling. When he saw Ning An who did not know when to squeeze in through the crowd, he raised eyebrows. Unexpectedly, it was the little weak chicken again “I won’t be merciful to the next time.”
“No!” Fu Ke didn’t know where his strength came from, and he threw Derek over this shoulder. Derek fell to the ground. “You might as well care about yourself first.”
“That was brutal– I concede.” Derek fell down hard, laying down on the ground and surrendered. He stretched out towards Fu Ke, “Next time I won’t let you have this opportunity. ”
“You said the same thing last time.” Fu Ke reached out to signal towards the teacher that the practice was over. The teacher nodded at him, and the score would be sent to their terminal after a while. Although classes had not yet officially started, these two Alphas will be the number one or second of Alphas in this grade. “Every time there will be flaws. I’m going to do some basic training. Do you want to go together?”
“I’m not going, you just beat me and I’m feeling a little bit moody, so I’m going to have to mend.” Derek made a heartbroken look in exchange for Fu Ke’s blank eyes. So Fu Ke turned to the basic training room without looking back.
“Let’s try it” After the two people of focus left, the crowd also dispersed to find their own things to do. The fighting training ground was vacated. Ning An was eager to try, and looked over his three roommates. Eventually, he stopped at He Xin’s, “He Xin, let’s try it.”
“Are you sure?” He Xin looked at Ning An’s thin arms and legs with some suspicion. Although his own physique was not burly, he helped with a lot of physical work back in his home. He was able to run across the ranch with two buckets of milk; and compared to Ning’an… Wang Yi and Chen Siyu couldn’t help shaking their heads.
“Hello, little …” Derek almost said the weak chicken, “Little classmate, excuse me.”
