Chapter XVII: The Second Day of the Barracks

On the first day of the barracks, there was nothing special, everyone sorted out their belongings, and Marcus also returned from the military doctor with Master Gray. It is said that the pen and fun www.biquge.info did not use the healing technique, but only rubbed it twice, and then patted it to indicate that it was okay, and put it back. It wasn't a big injury in the first place.

It's almost time to go to the cafeteria to eat. All the soldiers had to march in formation, sit still at the table, and the cooking squad would distribute the utensils and food. Then listen to the order, before you can officially enjoy it, and you are not allowed to speak during the banquet.

This time, no one lost his aristocratic temper again, and the whole canteen was the same for both recruits and veterans, and everyone felt the same and did not feel ashamed. The food was undoubtedly much worse than that of the nobles, but there was also a pork chop, two fruits, a small bowl of soup, and two loaves of bread. Most people are also mentally prepared and can accept it, and those with a small appetite can't finish eating.

After dinner, each went to wash the dishes. Where did these noble young masters wash the dishes, but no one dared to refute at this time, and they each took the bowl to the river to wash. After that, I was told that I kept my own tableware, and if I couldn't wash it, I would eat it by myself anyway. Some aristocrats even had an urge not to wash.

Kevin couldn't help but regret it, he knew that he would use the magic shield to serve food, so there was no need to wash it.

There was no activity in the evening, and the instructor did not force anything on the first day of coming, and everyone chatted casually. Kevin obviously felt that several other nobles were a little repulsed by him, maybe Kevin was a commoner, I'm afraid their aristocratic pride didn't let go so quickly.

Of course, the topic of the chat is still the future training life, and Marcas is the protagonist in this regard. In this regard, the chief seemed very amiable and told everyone about the taboos of the barracks and the stories of the barracks. Everyone also listened with relish.

In the evening, the bell rang, and the chief told everyone that it was time to go to the bath. There is still a special time to take a bath here, otherwise it will be considered a disciplinary violation. When a few people took basins and towels, they lined up to follow the chief, but as soon as they arrived at the destination, everyone's faces changed slightly.

It was actually an open-air pool, and it was already dark at this time, and the pool looked dark. After scooping up a handful of water, it looks like clear water, and as for what is at the bottom of the pool, I can't see it.

"Let's start washing," the commander had already begun to undress, and then took a basin and scooped a basin of water into the pool, flushed it onto his body, and said casually to everyone, "Don't jump in, the other troops will have to wash." ”

All the nobles stood still stupidly, and only Kevin reacted quickly, did the same, stripped naked and began to wash. So other people started looking at this, looking at that.

As aristocrats who grew up in high-end bathtubs, it is indeed difficult to accept a group of people stripped naked and scooped water in the wild for a shower. This is difficult for Kevin's teammates to accept, but also for the recruits of other detachments. On the other side of the pool, there were a few stupid people standing still.

But there was no point in standing stupidly, and the nobles hesitated for a moment, and finally began to undress one after another. Some people felt ashamed and wore a pair of underwear to wash together, but no one laughed at him at this time. After washing, the chief asked everyone to wash their changed clothes.

The young masters had to learn a skill that they were familiar with, but had never done beforeβ€”washing their own clothes. The chief obviously did not intend to give special guidance in this regard, and he went back first after washing himself.

After the chief left, everyone could finally be more active. Several nobles looked up at the moon with wet clothes and lamented: "My son of a dignified earl, how ...... Do you want to do laundry?"

The son of the city lord on the side also sighed: "I regret coming a little." ”

The son of the Chamber of Commerce on the side shook his head and agreed: "I regret it too." What about you?"

The others were silent, but Kevin just washed his clothes silently, and even wanted to laugh in his heart.

When I came back from the shower, we talked for a while, and the bell rang again. The commander said that it was time to rest, and the rest of the troops was mandatory, and it was not okay not to sleep. The bed is suspected to be a bunk design, a large bed can sleep 7 people, and the chief sleeps at the door.

In June, the weather is warmer, so you don't need a quilt. It's just that there are human beds on the left and right, and no one here, including Kevin, has slept on. But the other people consumed quite a lot of physical strength today, either running on their backs, or being beaten, lying down at this time, although not used to it, but soon fatigue came up, and they fell asleep in a moment.

So Kevin heard a loud snoring, and for a moment, there was a sharp grinding of teeth. barely lay down until midnight, and I don't know who muttered on the side: "Marcas, I'll kill you sooner or later." Hehe. ”

Kevin: "......"

It seems to be a dream, and the chief is probably asleep too, and he doesn't care. Kevin finally sat up, looked left and right, and decided to go out for a walk. He got out of bed cautiously, and then turned his head to look at the chief, but he couldn't help but be surprised, and saw that the chief was looking at him with his eyes open.

But when I looked closely, I felt that the chief's eyes were empty, could it be the legendary sleeping with his eyes open? Kevin went up and shook his hand in front of his eyes, but the chief did not react. It seems to be a false alarm.

At this time, a fat man sat up next to the bed, and by looking at his size, he knew that it must be Stat. He didn't expend his physical strength, and he couldn't sleep at all at this time. Walking over and Kevin nodded, looking back at the chief, he was also startled.

"Shhhh Believe it or not. ”

"Oh. The two approached, and since it was already dark, they were very close, and to observe the chief's facial expression up close, Starter shook his hand with his hand.

"You just opened your eyes and went to sleep. The chief spoke suddenly.

The two of them were shocked and subconsciously sat on the ground.

"You two can't sleep?" the chief asked in a low voice, obviously afraid of waking the others.

"Yes. The two of them were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know how the chief was going to fix themselves.

"That's right, come and talk to me. The chief also got up cautiously, and then went out for a walk, and the two followed. Walking all the way out of the barracks, I met the patrol soldiers, and the commander nodded in greetings to them. Walking all the way to the door, the chief stopped, sat down on a random stone, and motioned for the two of them to sit too.

"You two are older recruits, and under normal circumstances, there are very few 25-year-olds who come to join the army. The youngest recruits here are generally 15 years old, and the oldest is usually only 20 years old. You're a full ten years older than the youngest," the chief looked up at the moon, "and to tell you the truth, you're probably the easiest to manage, or the hardest to manage. You understand?"

The two were silent, and could only nod subconsciously.

"And the reasons why you two joined the army are also a little unreasonable. The chief shook his head, "Start, your information shows that you are a librarian, almost a number one figure, and the next step should be to make a big business and make a fortune, I have never heard of this boss running to be a soldier." I don't know much about the bard, but it's a bit too late to join the army at the age of 25. It is difficult to be convincing to say that he can't go down and come to the barracks. ”

The two were silent, they couldn't say that they had been assassinated and came to the barracks to hide, they could only make up excuses.

"You two have been hanging out on the mainland for a long time, and it's actually more difficult to control than those hot-headed stunned youths," the chief turned his head to look at the two of them, "It always feels like you two have hidden secrets." I don't know if I'm right. ”

"Sir, you're thinking too much," Kevin replied, "I'm a bard, so I know some of the troop rules. So I was able to get into the groove early, and I'm actually no different from everyone else. And my strength is worse than that of a noble soldier, and I have to work hard. ”

The chief looked at the two of them and smiled: "To be honest, if you are a recruit, I don't like people who are too smart. My favorite is the kind of person who says what he is. But if it's an officer, you're more suitable. We train officers, but we start with recruits, and you have to be recruits first, and then officers. Do you understand?"

"Understood. The two subconsciously replied.

Marcus was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but felt that everything was superfluous, and finally waved his hand: "You guys go to sleep first, I'll sit here for a while." ”

Kevin and Start immediately obeyed, leaving Marcus alone to look at the moon on the rock. Kevin glanced back: "Our instructor is probably the best among the chiefs. ”

"Oh, how do you know?" Statt doubted.

"Our squad consists of a count's son, a city lord's son, a fisherman's president's son, a knight's captain's son, and our two 25-year-old thugs. Kevin counted his fingers, "These materials are available in the background, and I don't believe that the people who dare to take on this task will be ordinary people." ”

"It also makes sense, civilian officer, I am afraid that the strength must be higher than that of the average noble officer in order to be recognized by others," replied Stat.

"Yes," replied Kevin, "although it is said in the army that there is no distinction between nobles and commoners, nobles enlist in June, and commoners enlist in December, with different years and seniority. As far as I know, when the strength of the troops is about the same, it is about seniority. ”

"Alright, I'm sleepy, sleep. "Staatt didn't bother to think too much about it. The two had to go back to this place where they were snoring and thundering, and they didn't fall asleep until midnight.

The next day, a whistle blew. Everyone got up with a grunt, the team assembled, ran circles around the barracks, and then breakfast. Finally, no one is left behind, and no one has any objections. Kevin really tried to serve porridge with a magic shield, but was scolded by the chief. Kevin didn't dare to ask for a reason, because the chief's words didn't need a reason.

After breakfast, the first day of training finally began. The recruits were all gathered in the playground, with shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, standing straight.

Then split, receive, chop, receive...... One morning.

There are two movements in the morning, extremely boring, with a small break in between, and a large number of instructors scolding: "What are you doing? Push harder!" "Why are you slower than others?Are you a pig?" "Why are you doing so fast? Are you a donkey?" "Where are your eyes looking? It's full of men, not beautiful women!" "Don't give me any more of your red vindictiveness, put it away!" ......

Halfway through, a recruit from another squad jumped out and retorted, "It's so boring, I don't think it's pointless." ”

So he was beaten by his superiors, and many people squinted at him, and they were also reprimanded by their own instructors. After that, the recruit did more maneuvers, such as running around the barracks with six shields on his back.

Kevin's back was already soaked with sweat, and he believed that others were similar, but at this time, no one dared to complain that he was tired, and they all gritted their teeth and held on. To be honest, Kevin can't understand the point of repeating this action all the time, it can only be understood as exercising willpower, right?

After lunch, the afternoon training begins. It's still splitting training, but fortunately, a footstep action has been added, which is finally a bit new.

Step split, retreat step receiving, step chopping, retreat receiving...... One afternoon.

The June sun is not the most poisonous, but it is very uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun all the time. But at this time, everyone can only endure. There is less scolding from the chief in the ear, at least it can be seen that everyone's movements are more standardized. There was sweat on the face, water stains on the ground, and some weakness in the hands, almost everyone was like this. Deep down, there is no doubt that I am tormented by pain, and the only thing I hope for is dinner.

Occasionally peeking at the sun, why isn't it westerly, why isn't it dinner?

Bell bell bell! Another bell rang. The commanders finally spoke: "Stop! Rest!"

The whole playground tumbled over, and there was a long sigh, and many people were lying on the ground on all fours, as if they didn't want to live.

"Get up for me!" roared the chiefs.

The group of people looked depressed, but they still had to stand up and accept the reprimand of the commander: "Listen to me, the kingdom army must have the image of a soldier! This kind of behavior of lying on all fours on the ground is not allowed!"

Then, the recruits were forced to collect more than 50 times. And Kevin and the others watched others being specially drilled, and a sense of happiness rose in their hearts. It's like although you are very bitter, as long as you see someone who is more bitter than yourself, your heart is suddenly balanced.

After a short rest, each commander left with his own soldiers, but the training was not over yet, but from here on, each commander was a little different.

Marcus takes everyone directly to a mound, and he seems to enjoy using the game to train. The result tells everyone to run on each other's backs to see which group runs faster. This time, six people are exactly three groups, and the number of people is just right.

Everyone immediately subconsciously stayed away from the fat man Start, who looked at everyone with innocent eyes. Marcus just smiled and dispelled everyone's thoughts: "It's okay, everyone will come in turn." Everybody will carry the fat man. ”

Everyone was helpless, so they formed a team at will. To be honest, this time yesterday was much more uncomfortable, today everyone is sweating all day of training, and they are carrying each other, and the smell is doubled. But there is still no nonsense, those who should run run, and those who should scold will also scold in a whisper.

The carrying person rushes up the hill, then comes down, and then changes the person's back. One person has to run five times, and the other five people take turns to carry it once, and they are also carried by the other five people once. Marcus is obviously very familiar with the game and is very comfortable with how to deploy personnel. What he meant was that this would further increase the bond between comrades-in-arms.

However, in fact, all of them increased their resentment towards the fat man. And Starter is still very innocent, and it stands to reason that he himself is the most relaxed. Because there is no second fat man in the whole team, everyone else has to carry a fat man, and he himself does not have a second fat man to carry.

But in fact, he was the slowest to rush the mound, every time, even if he used his fighting spirit. Kevin is relatively fastest, except for the time when he carried the fat man, he was the slowest, but this is something that can't be helped. All the people who have their turn to carry fat are the slowest. Kevin has traveled all year round, and there are two hits in the end, even if he doesn't have a fighting spirit.

So as is customary, the slowest fat man is punished for two more laps. Everyone watched the fat man carry a person on his back and snort up the mound, and for some reason they all felt very cool.
