Physical Tests

There were still several women in this military school. After all, not only men but also women could contribute to protect the nation. There was no discrimination as long as they were strong and determined enough.

Nan Hua looked at the woman in front of her. The woman looked relatively ordinary with delicate eyebrows and sharp expression. There was a faint mockery within her eyes while her mouth curled up to form a sneer.

This young woman was Su Xin Rou.

Su Family had some conflict with Nan Family due to their interest and Su Xin Rou seemed to have bad impression of Nan Hua. There was no real conflict and only some verbal exchange between the two of them.

Nan Hua glanced at her and then lowered her head again, ignoring the other party.

"Hmph! I don't know who's so confident but the result is still at the very bottom." Su Xin Rou snorted.

Yu Sui looked at the two of them and ignored it. She didn't like this roommate of hers either and hoped that Nan Hua would drop out quickly. But it was impossible for her to say this out loud.

"Female Dormitory Block C number 3-1 to 3-10."

Nan Hua's dormitory was 3-3.

"Our turn."

"You better perform well." Yu Sui looked at Nan Hua and snorted. "I don't want to be punished again."

There would be the average line that was pulled for their result. Those with the worst result in the dormitory had to do extra training in the evening, which was very exhausting.

Ouyang Lin was at the top, Yu Sui was in the middle, but Nan Hua was at the bottom. Because their totaled result was sometimes good and sometimes bad, they had to participate in the training.

The other girl who used to be their dormitory partner had dropped out, but their score would still be averaged with four, so Yu Sui knew that the only way for her not to participate in the evening training was if Nan Hua's result was good.

"Um," Nan Hua muttered in a low voice.

She didn't pay attention to Yu Sui and instead busy calculated her score in her mind. Her previous physical score was 1-7, which was taken around two weeks ago. Increasing too much at once would attract attention, so Nan Hua planned to have her result between 1-8 to 1-9.

In that case, the distance she had to run would be….

While Nan Hua was busy calculating and reached her place, the teachers had set up the timer to count.

"Go!"

Drap! Drap! Drap!

These young women all ran to their best abilities, trying to score as high as possible. On the other hand, Nan Hua was at the very back and 'struggled' to cope up with their speed while calculating her score and the distance.

Other people were busy running with the best of their abilities while Nan Hua was still able to think of other things.

If these young women were to know the truth, it was estimated that they would vomit blood.

Comparison proved that… there was no comparison.

Drap! Drap! Thud!

Nan Hua was the first to fell on the ground and wiped her head. Her hand was wet with the water that she brought from the washroom. Added with the plastic bag that was used to carry was easy to break and hidden again, no one would think that Nan Hua was not doing her best.

She looked miserable at the end.

The teachers looked at Nan Hua's performance and then looked at the score. His eyes showed a bit of surprise. "Based on this result, she's already 1-8 in physical strength. For this young miss, her improvement is quite big."

"She's from the Nan Family and their family must have given her a lot of nutritious food." The other teacher shrugged.

Those who were from big families could afford giving more nutritious food that could allow their child to grow better. Not to mention, Nan Family is a military family. They should know what to give Nan Hua the best.

"Indeed. Previously, her body is still absorbing and now, it had begun to show." The teacher in charge of Nan Hua's class was satisfied with this student. Even though Nan Hua's personality might not be suitable to be a soldier, she had tenacity and willingness to work hard.

Thankfully, the fake Nan Hua previously worked hard and could be seen by the teachers.

So, Nan Hua's relationship with the teachers were pretty good.

They all finished their test and had stopped. The teachers tallied their score and many of them felt a bit disappointed. Those whose score dropped had long lowered their head because they knew everyone whose score dropped after holiday would be subjected to heavier training no matter what their dormitory result was.

"Huh." Yu Sui looked her result on her bracelet and furrowed her eyebrows. Her test was still the same as before, so she would not be punished. Though, it was hard to say whether the teachers were satisfied or not.

There was ranking on the other page, but the ranking didn't divulge their personal result. Instead, it gave A to F rank to each student and their dormitory rank would be based on the result of each student.

A is 5 point, B is 4 point, C is 3 points, D is 2 points, E is 1 points, and F is 0 points.

There were three types of rank.

The semester ranking, the improvement ranking in this test compared to the previous test, and also their test ranking.

Yu Sui looked at their test ranking and her face was black.
