Volume II: The Federation, Chapter XXI, Training

The next day's bright sun overwhelmed yesterday's lingering drizzle, as if everything not so long ago was as unreal as a bubble.

The mud on the ground gripped her shoepan as she stepped into the field, reminding her of what a terrifying creature she had faced here yesterday. The young recruits were divided into teams and trained by Luna and another male instructor in the southeast section of the training ground, including her, the noble mayor's daughter, and the boys and girls of the same age she met yesterday.

"The official start of training today means that from today onwards, you will officially become a member of the garrison's conscription soldier reserves, it is not an honor, because it has only just been established, it has no prestige, because it is only a group of losers who formed it," Luna swept the audience with cold and sharp eyes, and after making sure that everyone was listening to her words, she withdrew her gaze in satisfaction, "but from now on, you must bear its name, if I see that some of you trample on the name of the garrison in front of me." .......”

"I will make you regret living in the world....... every word in her last sentence carried a threatening meaning, which made people's hearts tremble slightly.

Luna stood on the stage and commanded all the female soldiers and some of the relatively thin male soldiers on the field, and listed them in a row of men and women, "Now start the roll call, and all those who did not arrive today will be crossed out by name and expelled from the army." ”

She grinned her smoky yellow teeth and laughed cruelly, "Let me see which little clever ghosts have chosen to give up." ”

"Kindness ......."

"Here." A boy was taken aback suddenly, but quickly reacted and hurriedly replied.

"Didn't you eat!?" The instructor's voice was like a female leopard, which startled him, and the boy roared again with a stalk on his face, "Here." It was still quiet, but the instructor knew he was doing his best.

"Ann Valley....... Angu ...... "No one responded.

"Very well, first smart man," she said, "Enron." “

A girl screamed, "Here." ”

The instructor frowned, "Have you been by a man?" How is it called that? The girl blushed, and the others almost couldn't help laughing, especially a tall fat man who was described as obscene and laughed the loudest and the most lasting, if he hadn't noticed the instructor looking at him, he was afraid that he would have laughed longer.

"You stand up first......." The tall fat boy took a step forward with remorse on his face, not daring to act rashly again, he knew he was finished.

"Brati......." replied, a short-haired teenager with a slightly strange hairstyle.

The instructor looked at his hair and couldn't help but step forward, "The hairstyle is good," she tugged at the short-haired boy's small hair like a spiral pill, and whispered, "Can I call you a little salmon head, well, this head looks quite big." ”

The boy from an unknown district was about to say something, but was yelled back by Instructor Luna, "Yes, or no." ”

The sudden sound was like thunder, causing the strange short-haired boy to take a few steps back in fright, so that he didn't dare to say anything more. Instructor Luna showed her trademark cruel grin, "Again, can I call you Little Salmon?" ”

"Yes," the young boy nodded sheepishly, then noticing that something was wrong, and repeated aloud, "Yes, instructor." ”

Good, Luna looked at the next one with satisfaction. The cowering boy, he seemed to be so startled by Luna that he didn't dare to look at her directly.

"Li Boming," she looked at him contemptuously, "Look, there is a coward mixed in among us, why, you are even afraid of me, am I uglier than the white spider?" ”

The cringe-inducing boy shook his head.

"Yes or no," she yelled, "tell me if you're afraid of me." Most of her saliva squirted into the boy's face, "Yes or no, recruit." ”

"Yes," he cried, "yes." ”

"Coward, why are you here, this is not where you should be."

"I want to protect others," he cried, "my parents were killed by that monster, and I want to protect others." ”

The non-commissioned officer laughed, laughing happily, loudly, like a duck, and the exaggerated gesture made one wonder if she would break her belly with laughter, "We need a coward to protect," she yelled at the other recruits, "We need a bean sprout cub from you to protect, tell me, do I need it?" ”

The boy was silent for a long time, tears kept remaining, and after holding back for a long time, he finally said, "Yes, sir, each of us needs our comrades to protect us, and we rely on each other to fight against the enemy. ”

"That's a nice thing to say," Instructor Luna pinched his chin, "I'll call you a coward in the future, okay?" ”

"Yes." He was finally able to roar out normally.

"Coward, can you pick up a gun and deal with that monster?" She pointed to the snow-white spider in the cage in the distance, which became even more terrifying under the gaze of everyone, the teeth wrapped under the soft cavity suddenly cracked, and the third, cold and merciless eyeball, red as blood, followed them all the time, and the gray spots on its body were like wriggling suckers, inadvertently generating countless folds.

It's watching us, everyone's hearts, it's scanning its prey, and no one suspects that as soon as it comes out, it will pounce on them in a frenzy.

"Tell me, can you kill it to protect us?"

"Yes, sir." His voice was louder and fuller.

Luna smiled softly, "I started shouting slogans with my dad when I was seven years old, and I can shout better than you at the age of eight, coward, I hope you don't let me down." ”

When she walked in front of Tianxia, she stopped, and the two looked at each other without saying a word for a long time.

Suddenly, she swung out her left hand suddenly, her fingers were as fast as a snake, and attacked her left neck at a tricky angle, Tianxia subconsciously blocked with her right arm, but before the left finger touched her neck, her right hand buckled to her wrist like a ghost, fortunately, Tianxia had seriously trained women's martial arts in the club on weekdays, she was able to react, and her left hand was against the instructor's right hand at the same time, and the instructor's strength did not produce an unattainable sense of frustration like Ciri, plus she was prepared, so she only took half a step back.

"Instructor Luna......." she asked her in confusion, "what are you doing?" ”

The non-commissioned officer didn't say anything, just suddenly squatted, and her right foot swept over, sweeping the caught off guard Tianxia to the ground, making her feel like she was eating the mud.

"You're faster than I thought," Luna stretched out her hand, Tianxia grabbed her hand and stood up, suddenly, Tianxia shook the mud in her hand, and at the moment when she reached out to block the flying mud, she bumped forward with Luna's arm, Luna seemed to have a premonition, even in the case of limited vision, she was able to move her pace and dodge flexibly, and stretched out her right knee and tripped her, causing her to stumble forward a few steps.

"Reality is not a game, you're dead," she said in a deep voice, "but I have to say that the game you're playing is quite real." ”

Tianxia stared at her silently, letting the sludge from her nose run down her chin and drip down her cuffs, if she played with a gun, she secretly thought, then you are also dead.

"Tianxia."

Even if she didn't know what Instructor Luna was up to, she could only say yes, but luckily Luna didn't continue to trouble her, "Wipe off your mud," she said.

Tianxia unpleasantly wiped her chin and neck, and waved the sludge away.

"Ryu Liu."

Gao Caisheng shouted angrily.
