The heart of the black poplar woods, the training camp of the 10th Knights.

The day's training was over, and the recruits were covered in sweat and their eyes were full of exhaustion.

They couldn't wait to rush to the place where the water bladder was placed, picked up their water bladders, and gulped down water.

Suzanne said she couldn't drink water so quickly after training, but they didn't care.

I'm so thirsty.

Autumn is also expected to be in the month, and the weather was a little cooler a few days ago, but now it's hot again.

It's even hotter than before.

"It's going to be autumn, why is it still so hot?" Luna leaned her little head and looked at the sun, which was as red as a carbon block. You can still vaguely see a wave of heat boiling: "I'm going to get a tan!" ”

"There's no way around it. There are always several days before autumn that are hotter. It's like a return to the light of summer. Andrew drank the water in the bladder and complained loudly to Luna, "It's so painful!" ”

Carlos also quickly finished drinking the water, took the water bladder handed by Xiu and continued to drink.

It's not that Xiu isn't thirsty, it's that he can't drink.

His appetite was already small, and he couldn't finish this bladder when it was full.

But even if he couldn't drink it, his throat was still extremely thirsty, and his lips were still dry as if they were about to split, so he could only endure until his body absorbed the water.

Luckily, the water is easily absorbed. The four of them rested for a while and chatted for a while.

However, what they talked about the most was the body of cultivation.

The recent training looks like crazy, as if he is afraid that he will not be able to tire himself, and he has practiced harder than Anthony and Carlos.

They didn't know what was wrong with Xiu.

He's been like this since he came back from a day off two days ago, and he doesn't know how long he's going to keep the momentum going.

Maybe stick with it?

None of them know.

When they asked the reason for Xiu, Xiu avoided answering.

"You are my friends, and I don't want to lie to my friends, so I can only say: I can't tell you." This is when I was forced to answer such a sentence by Xiu,

So later, everyone stopped asking, but kept reminding him to pay attention to his body and not to collapse his body with a momentary achievement.

It's almost dusk now, and everyone is eating dinner in the cafeteria, and there is a long queue to pick up the food. However, they are not in a hurry, because the entire training camp is only two classes, each class has more than 50 people, and there are more than 100 people, and they can reach them in ten minutes at most.

There are so few people.

They rested for a while and then headed for the cafeteria.

The number of people in the training camp was not large, and they had a good rest. At this time, you basically don't have to queue up to go to the cafeteria. Because the people are almost finished eating, they are gone.

As they chatted about it, Xiu felt someone poke his hair.

He looked back and saw a pair of slender thighs. When I looked up and saw my face again, I realized that it was Linda.

"Sir Linda! Are your injuries healed? Xiu asked her in surprise.

"Little brother, you're fine, sister, I'm fine~" Linda covered her mouth and chuckled.

Carlos and the others saw that it was the instructor and greeted Linda, who just waved their hand to signal that they didn't have to.

"It's different!" Xiu gestured "So big...", Xiu was about to say something, but Linda tapped her lips with her slender fingers, and Xiu noticed that her nails were pink like rouge, "Can't say it!" Ladies hate being embarrassed when they are mentioned, you know? Linda blinked her left eye.

Xiu, whose lips were sealed, nodded obediently.

"Actually, my sister came here to thank you this time~ Because your officers can survive, so... This cake was made by the chiefs themselves! Linda stepped out of the way. On the grass behind him was a large tray, on which was a large cake smeared with thick cream and decorated with many berries. Suzanne sat on the side and looked at Xiu with a big smile. Not only Susanna, but also Salena and Mia sat on the side.

But...

Salena and Mia have already started eating.

Linda's ghost floated silently and swiftly behind Serena's back, and her palm pressed on her shoulder as "gently" as between lovers.

She quickly shoved the whole piece of cake from the plate in her mouth and wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth, pretending that nothing had happened.

Linda smiled "gently".

Mia jumped in front of Xiu like lightning and stuffed the plate with the cake in her hand into Xiu's hand, squatted in front of Xiu, holding a fork in her hand, and stretched out the cake that had not had time to eat to Xiu's mouth in a panic with a smile on her face

"Ah~Sister feed you~" She was slashed to the ground by Suzanne with a hand knife.

The instructors in front of them were not at all serious and aggressive during training or class, but played and laughed like the little girls next door.

The few people in front of them may not know about their relationship. Because they don't even have the same kind of work, one is a physical instructor, one is a classroom teacher, and the other is even a logistics quartermaster.

But they started out in the same training camp and the same students taught by the same instructors.

They also used to be teammates in the Valkyrie squad and went on countless missions together, but now that they have been sent to train recruits and become instructors, they can no longer work together as before. Because they all know different things, they work separately.

You can't let people who don't know textbooks teach others to teach them, that's misleading. So Suzanne served as a physical trainer, and Salena served as a literature teacher, and Linda chose to do nothing because she felt that being an instructor was too troublesome, and was ready to go out on a mission as usual, Mia...

Mia was simply trying to be lazy.

She started working in munitions logistics because of lack of staff. At that time, most people were sent out on large missions, and because there were too many people in the group, it was necessary to have a quartermaster with them to distribute supplies, so she temporarily took the place of the quartermaster.

After a while, she realized that the job was easy, and she didn't want to leave. Later, she also applied to Gerald for the position of quartermaster on night duty, saying that she wanted to experience the hardships of night duty.

Gerald knew the quirky girl too well, but he didn't care about her.

So Mia went to sleep on duty in the open.

Of course, although these people are separated now, their feelings have not been estranged because of this.

On the weekends, they still get together, they should be crazy, they should be happy.

Just like when they made this cake.

Mia easily got milk, butter and a whole bunch of other stuff at the back office.

Of course, she applied to Gerald and spent money on it.

The money came from Garcia and Cady. They can't get out of bed yet, that's all they can do.

This cake was made for a night. In the kitchen of the cafeteria, the mess left behind after they finished making the cake made the canteen chefs scold. It was so chaotic that it was like it had been bombarded by cannons, pots and pans were thrown everywhere, and remnants of flour and egg cream were splashed everywhere like paint. God knows what the hell the four of them did to the kitchen!

Even the oven used to bake the bread was scorched several times!

Such a kitchen is not a few hours to clean up.

When the cake was ready, they put a lot of freshly cut and dried fruit on top.

They are not as good at pastry design as master bakers, but women's natural desire for beauty makes them not ugly to decorate this cake.

This is the first cake that Xiu has seen since he was born.
