Exhausted
We lined up and ran slowly in circles on the training camp's playing field, with Amanda at the front of the line and Jessi at the back.
I didn't expect one thing after another, and even this seemingly ordinary sports field was actually closed, which was really different from the world I was in before. Looking up, a large transparent dome looms over the stadium, as if to isolate us from the world. Through the overhanging hemispherical dome, you can faintly see that the morning sky is overcast, and the sun is hiding behind the clouds, and it may be raining.
"Good morning!" I silently greeted Amanda from the bottom of my heart, and I was happy to see him early in the morning.
"On the first day, I just ran directly, and I didn't talk about how to train them, they really had them." Hetty, who was next to her, muttered quietly.
I pursed my lips and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, let's just let it be." ”
The surrounding stands were empty. We were the only ones who slouched on the runway, and the whispers became more frequent.
I saw the 800m marker again, and we've had two laps now.
"This playground is 800 meters around, it's really big enough!" While I was chatting with Hetty, Amanda slowed down and retreated to the middle of the line.
He continued to jog and said loudly, "Everyone, stop talking, let's save some energy." We've already done two kilometres of jogging and we're going to start timing the next eight kilometres. ”
The girl behind me grew her mouth in surprise: "I have to run another eight kilometers, how is this possible?" ”
"You think it's impossible, but we think it's a piece of cake, and we'll increase the dose in the future. Only by making the impossible possible is the foundation of training. Amanda whistled.
The team immediately dispersed, and everyone began to run with cheers.
I followed the unformed team, but I was muttering in my heart, I have to run a total of twelve or thirteen laps, I haven't run such a long distance in a long time, can I do it?!
I don't dare to think about it, but the team members have already rushed forward like arrows off the string, and in a short time they are running away like a lightning speed. I strode after it, but unfortunately I fell farther and farther away, and finally I couldn't even see a human figure. After a while, they came out of my rear again, and once again overtook me as fast as they could.
One, two, three······ I ran as hard as I could, but I couldn't keep up with the team members who were running like wild horses, and gradually I began to lose my strength. It was already the last lap, and I was sweating profusely, breathing, my mouth was wide open, and my nose was holding up uncomfortably. Hettie and Doug, who had already finished the race, came running over to cheer me on, but I felt like I couldn't hold it anymore, my eyes began to blacken, my chest was stuffy, my legs were so heavy that I couldn't lift them anymore, and I was just running by inertia. Suddenly, I stumbled and crawled on all fours, my mouth covered in mud. I tried to get up, but I didn't have the strength to do it, and my legs just swayed weakly. Hetty and Doug hurried over and helped me up. With their support, I staggered out of the runway and sat in the stands.
Hertie and Doug helped me dust off the dirt, and although I was grateful, I didn't even have the strength to say "thank you."
I wiped my mouth and felt a burning pain spread from my right knee. I lifted my pants, and a red-purple wound on my right knee was burning hotly. I gently brushed the unusually painful wound, but the invisible wound in my heart was frantically scratching.
"Oh, what a shame! Not only did he run the slowest but he also fell! I thought to myself in frustration.
Hertie and Doug sat in the stands next to them, knowing that their words of condolence would be redundant.
After a few more long minutes, Amanda finally blew her whistle to stop, and he and Jessie walked out of the playing field without saying a word.
There were still a few people on the runway, some of them just sitting on the runway exhausted and panting, and some of them were panting and lying on the fence on the edge of the runway.
Although it seems that I am not the last on the surface, in the heart of my life I am not optimistic. If there is no substantial change, I and these backward people will be all the way, and sooner or later we will be eliminated by the fearless faction.
Jessie returned, and she summoned everyone to leave the playground and go to a classroom next to the playground, where we all found a seat and sat down.
After Amanda and other students arrived, she stood on the podium and announced: "Today's evaluation results of the 10-kilometer light run, first place: Allen, 26 minutes and 16 seconds; 2nd place: GWENT, 27:51; 3rd place: Borg, 29 minutes and 5 seconds; 4th place: Bennet; 5th place: Doug; 6th place: Bill; 7th place: Bing; 8th place: Alva (female); 9th place: Herty (female); 10th place: Dick; 11th place: Sidrik; Twelfth: Bernie; Thirteenth place: Zhou Qing (female); 14th place: Colby; Fifteenth: Xu Meng (female); Vanny (female), Durou, Felida (female) and Amy (female) were left behind, starting in fifteenth place, with the last five team members not finishing the race. ”
"I'm fifth from the bottom, and my results are really bad!" I bit my lip unconsciously.
Everyone listened and whispered to each other, occasionally laughing happily, and of course there was no lack of annoyance.
Amanda paused, then continued: "We will publish the results and rankings of each training program from time to time, and most of the results recorded are the average after the aggregation, but some are the final assessment results. So it's important to take every training session with all your heart, because you don't know which training results will be recorded in your final appraisal form. Is it clear to everyone? ”
The team members replied in unison, "Yes." ”
"Although it is difficult to surpass others, it is not easy to overcome yourself. Being able to overcome yourself and surpass others is more difficult, but it is also better. Amanda's serious words also revealed a bit of sincerity.
Everyone listened silently, and no one said anything more.
"Okay, that's it, disband, meet at the playground at one o'clock in the afternoon." Amanda said after looking around.
In the afternoon, we gathered in the sports field and then did 20 sets of push-ups, sit-ups, and one-leg squats.
After that, we came to a large shelf more than ten meters high on the south side of the stadium and stood in two horizontal lines.
Jiexi inspected us one by one unhurriedly before she said meaningfully: "The next training project is called "jumping out of oneself", isn't this name very individual?!" Participants climb up to a platform 10 meters above the ground, then jump from the platform, grab the high horizontal bar on the opposite side, and finally jump into the designated protective pad. ”
I looked up at the big shelf, which was straight up and down, high and steep, and not close to the horizontal bar, and my heart couldn't help but beat the drums.
Jiexi looked around at everyone, "Who will come first?" But no one spoke.
"Alan, you come first."
"Okay."
In fact, Allen's eagerness to try has long been unable to escape Jessy's sharp eyes.
The tall Alan quickly climbed to the top of the shelf in three steps and two steps, and then jumped into the air without hesitation, firmly grasping the horizontal bar in the air opposite, and then jumped into the protective cushion that had already been placed. Everyone was amazed at his flexibility and ease.
He was tall enough to complete the training without much effort, but I was much shorter than him. I thought worriedly.
The classmates climbed up one by one, but Amy, who was waiting on my right, was shivering, I tried to persuade her, but I didn't know how to speak, because I was too scared to do it, I wished time stood still here, but it backfired, and it was my turn.
I fastened the safety rope and began to climb section by section. As the body climbs, the wind speed increases, but the fear decreases. I climbed to the top of the shelf, looked down, and immediately the vertigo of my brain hit me. I quickly raised my head and looked squarely at the horizontal bar in the distance. I knew that the more hesitant I was, the more scared I became, and it was better to fight to the death. In order to be able to grasp the railing in one hand, I jumped up as hard as I could, and finally got my wish to grab the dangling horizontal bar.
"Oh, I'm victorious!" I couldn't help but slide to the ground, and it was only then that I realized how comfortable it was to walk safely on the ground!
When it was Amy's turn for the last girl, I nervously looked up, and even though she had only grabbed the bar with one hand at the beginning, she was soon able to put her other hand on it and finally completed the training without any danger.
We finally ended the training program successfully, and everyone was in high spirits, perhaps this is the joy of coming out of fear and fatigue.
We feasted in the dining room, our hungry stomachs filled with all kinds of food, and the freshmen basically got to know each other in casual conversation.
Hetty really had the energy, she invited me to go on a night trip with her, but I was exhausted, and the pain in my knee came to me again and again, so she went out with Zhou Qing.
I walked back to the dormitory with a few classmates. Amy, the girl who fell last in this running test, is short, with a white and moist face like a porcelain doll, and a pair of big watery eyes. Typical little woman, but she does things like a boy. As soon as she returned to her dorm, she collapsed on her back on the bed.
"Oh my god, this day is finally over without danger, I'm tired to death!"
"I wonder what training will be going on tomorrow?" Fanny, with small eyes and a small mouth, a girl with a very ordinary appearance, said worriedly.
"Whatever, if you don't succeed anyway, you will become a benevolent. If it really doesn't work in the future, it will be downgraded. Amy nibbled on the apple optimistically.
"That's a nice thing to say, but who wouldn't want to stay." Fanny said.
"Hey, I can only go with the flow." I said this with my mouth, but in my heart I didn't want to. If you leave here, let alone where to go, at least it will be difficult to get along with Amanda day and night.
"What does it mean to be at peace with what happens?" The short and fat Duru, with a surprised expression on his round face, asked solemnly.
How could he ask such a ridiculous question! I think he must have grown up in the Steadfast faction, straightforward and conservative, but also stubborn and inflexible.
I hurriedly said, "I'm just talking nonsense, don't think nonsense!" ”
I told myself, after all, in the territory of the 3017 Fearless Sect, it was better to be careful in what I said.
