Starting with Chapter 36, outdoor practical exercises begin!
Qian Yuhan: Should I confess boldly? Do I like her? Yes, that's right, I do like her, and I don't want her to misunderstand because of my hesitation and miss out on the opportunity! Hmm, I'll confess after the practical exercise next week.
Qian Yuhan secretly made up her mind.
……
Before we knew it, it was Thursday of the following week, the day before we went out for the live-fire exercise.
Qian Yuhan packed her belongings in the dormitory, and after checking them to make sure everything was in order, she decided to go out for a walk.
Seeing Mu Chen, Tang Xuan, and Tang Chen still tidying up, he said goodbye to them and then left.
Wandering aimlessly along the academy path, I looked at my shadow under the streetlights and sighed inwardly.
Qian Yuhan had actually liked Hu Lin'er for a while now. But, after all, he was still just an eight-year-old child!
However, Qian Yuhan knew in his heart that he was still too young, and dating seemed somewhat unrealistic. In his mind, an eight-year-old should focus on learning and growing up, not getting entangled in emotional matters too early. This idea was deeply ingrained in him, making him hesitant to cross that line.
Every time Qian Yuhan saw Hu Lin'er, his heart would race and his cheeks would flush. He would silently observe her every move, noticing her likes and dislikes. Although he knew that such behavior might be considered childish and ridiculous, he couldn't control his emotions.
At the same time, Qian Yuhan began to ponder the true nature of his feelings for Hu Lin'er. Was it simply affection? Or true love? He wasn't sure, because he had never experienced anything like it before. But regardless, he hoped to protect this feeling and prevent it from being harmed.
In the original world, dating at fifteen or sixteen is considered puppy love, let alone at only eight years old.
Qian Yuhan walked along the road, kicking pebbles under her feet, recalling what Tang Xuan had said to her a few days ago:
"Isn't it common for eight-year-olds to start dating? In several villages under our sect, some people are already married and have children at fifteen or sixteen!"
Qian Yuhan: It seems I'm still influenced by the original world. Now that I've come to this world, I need to quickly adapt to these changes, changes in every aspect of life.
As Qian Yuhan walked, she arrived at Angel Square—the iconic building of the Spirit Hall Academy and one of the iconic buildings of Spirit City.
"Hey? Junior Brother Yu Han?" A voice suddenly came from behind. Qian Yu Han turned around and saw—
The person who arrived was Fang Qing.
"Why are you here all alone? Is something on your mind?"
Qian Yuhan shook her head and composed herself.
He didn't want Fang Qing to know his current thoughts, after all, they were just senior and junior classmates, not as close as Mu Chen and the others. So it was best to have as few people as possible know about this.
"I heard you're going to Sunset Forest tomorrow."
"Oh right, Fang Ya told you, didn't she?"
Qian Yuhan assumed the answer was yes, but Fang Qing shook his head and said, "It wasn't my sister, it was a good friend from your grade who said it. My relationship with my sister is actually just so-so, but my family asked me to look after her at the academy."
Qian Yuhan was also a little surprised. Was this really her own brother?!
However, it's likely because Fang Ya possesses innate level one soul power. If the other students in the academy discovered their relationship, Fang Qing would probably be humiliated and unable to hold his head high. Therefore, he distanced himself from his sister at the academy.
Nevertheless, Qian Yuhan still felt that Fang Qing had gone a little too far.
"Well, Brother Fang Qing, I have to go now, I have some things to attend to. Let's chat again another time, bye-bye."
Qian Yuhan quickly ended the chat and left in a hurry.
Looking at the spot where Qian Yuhan disappeared, Fang Qing's lips curled up slightly...
……
The next morning, Qian Yuhan took the letter he had written the day before to his morning run and dropped it into the mailbox. This time he didn't write much; he just told "Xue" that he might not be able to write for the next few days because he had to go and implement his forest combat training. Explaining this was also a way of showing respect to her.
At eight o'clock in the morning at Angel Square, the first-year students from each class lined up in front of the Qianmo statue for attendance checks. Han Xue stood in the very center at the front of the formation, and the dean of students' imposing presence silenced every student present.
As the class monitor, Qian Yuhan stood at the front of the line and couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Han Xue: No matter which world you're in, the intimidating power of the dean of students is the same—terrifying.
"Class One?"
"Class One, everyone is here!"
"Class Two?"
"Director Qi is here."
...
"Class 7?"
"We're short one person, Director Han."
"Hmm? One is missing. Who didn't come?"
"Uh, Liu Yu."
"Okay, then fire him."
Everyone: ?! ?! Expelled?! They just fired him like that...
"This guy is in a bad situation."
"Oh my god, being late once means immediate dismissal, that's some kind of 'extermination'!"
…The crowd erupted in discussion at this point.
"Quiet!"
Han Xue used her soul power to amplify her voice, and the discussions instantly disappeared.
"This is to make an example of someone. People who are not punctual will never amount to anything! If you can't even do something as simple as being on time, what can you do in the future?! I usually turn a blind eye to when you're late for class, but I have zero tolerance for being late for important gatherings like this."
"Report!" A voice rang out, it was Liu Yu who was late.
"Liu Yu?"
"Yes, that's right, Director." Liu Yu didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation.
"Liu Yu, you've been expelled."
Liu Yu: ? ? !!
"Director Han...can I know the reason?"
“Liu Yu, I have zero tolerance for being late for such important gatherings, and you cannot be forgiven this time. Therefore—”
The students standing in the front row could clearly see that Liu Yu's hands and legs were shaking, and he looked like he was about to explode at any moment.
"Director Han, you...you can't fire me. I—"
Give me a reason!
"On my way here, a senior student fainted. There was no one around, so I carried him to the infirmary, which took a little longer. You can ask the doctor at the infirmary if you don't believe me!"
"Since you can say that with such confidence, I believe you this time. But there has to be a punishment. You'll be kept in jail every Saturday night after you come back."
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.
Qian Yuhan smiled as she watched this scene, which often occurred in the original world: This kind of drama happens in every world.
After this brief incident, each class, led by their class teacher, entered the soul-guided spaceship assigned to them.
After everyone had boarded, the spaceship took off, heading straight for Sunset Forest. Looking down at Martial Soul City through the glass windows: Outdoor combat drills, begin!
