594: It's Not One Person's Fault

It's Not One Person's Fault

4Class One's issue was coming to an end. All the instructors returned to their classes to finish the schedule laid out for the afternoon. They continued teaching the students the military exercises.2

All their clothes were drenched with sweat.

The people called out from Class One started their exercises. They stood at attention, stood at ease, saluted, marched, and ran together. When the instructor called for them to be at ease, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they were to complete everything without making mistakes.

"Your steps are too small but it's good that you managed to keep the distance equal all the time. Your formation during the quick march and march in step was off. You still need to practice more." The officer nodded slightly. He was still satisfied with the results.

"As a student, you did well. However, as a soldier, you're lacking."

Ye Ying finally relaxed after hearing their verdict. As long as they passed, Ye Jian… If she made any mistakes, she would be kicked out of the military training. All the students would know that she was here to pull them down.

Ye Ying forced herself to remain quiet. The officer would suspect her if she said anything now. He would think that she was targeting Ye Jian instead of thinking for her class.

This time, she made the right decision. The officer would not just suspect her. He would instantly confirm the idea.

One of the male students sighed in relief after knowing that he passed. He said, "Officer, we're students, not soldiers. Hence, you shouldn't say that we're lacking. You're being biased."

"You're really lacking. Didn't your instructor tell you to report before you talk?" The male student made the wrong move by speaking to an officer who was in charge of moral education.

"I can fail you because of this mistake. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with me. In the military, you must listen to me." The male student shuddered at the last sentence.

The officer stared sternly at the students who created trouble. He seemed even scarier than before. "How can you reprimand others when you didn't even finish your own job? If your class really comes in last, it's not the fault of one person."

Ye Jian didn't even need to speak. She just stared at the officer as he scolded the students. The students didn't dare to raise their heads.

She could understand why her classmates got agitated by Ye Ying's words but if they were expecting her to help them put in some good words… that was impossible. Ye Jian smiled.

These people judged her just because of Ye Ying's words, especially the lady called Meng Wen. She was the first to agree with Ye Ying.

Meng Wen never talked to her much. In school, Meng Wen would be unhappy when their teachers called on her more than Meng Wen.

It was fine if she just competitive in school but she shouldn't kick up a fuss here.
