you've trained formally？

"Captain, where are you from?" Adrian asked curiously.

"Me? I'm from the Hermit Village," Jake replied.

"Hermit Village?" Adrian pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Never heard of it." The other members also shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't heard of it either.

Jake recalled that even the young soldier at the city gate didn't know about the Hermit Village. It was only the older soldier who had heard of it. This added a mysterious veil to the Hermit Village. The fact that the village housed so many Grandmasters and even the old village chief, who had reached Grandmaster level in multiple fields, made Jake realize that the Hermit Village was anything but ordinary.

In the evening, the team members finished their day of training and returned to the camp set up by the army.

"From today onwards, you are soldiers of the Skylark Camp Camp. Although it's a temporary conscription, as long as you're serving, you must abide by the rules of the camp. After dark, everyone must stay within the campsite. Without my permission, no one is allowed to leave the campsite. Otherwise, you will be treated as deserters!" Before the group dispersed, Eli gathered them for a briefing.

"Understood?"

"Understood."

"Haven't had dinner? Speak up louder, have you all understood?"

"Understood!" The team members shouted at the top of their lungs.

Eli was satisfied with their response, nodded, and said, "Dismissed! Each squad, led by its respective squad leader, return to your own tents."

Jake led Brenton and the others to their tent.

"This is where you'll be staying," Jake said, pointing to a larger tent, "Did you all understand what Captain Eli said? Without permission, you must not leave the campsite. Also, I'll be resting at night, and I don't like to be disturbed. Understood?"

Jake's tent was next to his team members' tents. Since he would be transporting back to reality soon, if someone were to come looking for him at night, they might find he wasn't in the camp. To avoid trouble, Jake reminded them in advance.

"Understood," Brenton and the others nodded.

"Good. Rest well and don't wander around. Tomorrow's training won't be easy," Jake said.

Recalling today's training, everyone nodded in agreement. With Eli's personality, tomorrow's training would indeed be challenging.

After bidding farewell to Brenton and the others, Jake entered his own tent and closed the curtain. Although he was a squad leader, his tent wasn't large. However, Jake was content as long as he could be alone. The size of the tent didn't matter since he didn't actually sleep there at night. His perspective shifted, and Jake returned to reality once again.

In the morning, when Jake was exercising at the Princeton University field, he could clearly feel more eyes on him. He suddenly had a feeling of being in the spotlight, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

"Not used to it?" Wendy's voice sounded in Jake's ears. Somehow, she had already come to his side and stopped.

"A bit," Jake nodded.

"You'll get used to it with time," Wendy said.

"Maybe," Jake replied.

Wendy brushed her hair off her forehead and spoke casually, "Why didn't you mention that you were a teacher?"

"What do you mean?" Jake looked puzzled.

"About you being a teacher," Wendy said softly.

"Oh, it's not a big deal," Jake laughed. "Besides, I became a teacher myself without really knowing how I got the position."

Jake wasn't surprised that Wendy knew about him being a teacher. His role as a Princeton University teacher and his side job selling barbecue were already well-known among many people in the school. That was likely why many people were looking at him this morning, and it was normal for Wendy to know about it as well.

"Is Xenia in your class?" Wendy asked.

The image of Xenia's graceful figure appeared in Jake's mind, and he nodded, saying, "Yes."

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Wendy asked. Although Wendy's question seemed casual, Jake felt something was off about her tone.

"Yes," Jake didn't know what Wendy was thinking and could only answer honestly.

Xenia was indeed beautiful; otherwise, she wouldn't be considered one of Princeton University's "two beautiful flowers" alongside Wendy. If anyone said otherwise, it would be a lie. However, what Jake didn't know was that sometimes women preferred to hear lies.

"Hmph," Wendy lightly snorted, and Jake felt like the temperature around them had dropped a bit. He became even more puzzled. However, Wendy didn't dwell on that matter and changed the subject, asking, "Have you trained?"

"Trained?" Jake said, "Does daily morning jogging count?"

"No," Wendy replied.

"In that case, I haven't."

Wendy nodded thoughtfully: "You have great strength and speed, but it doesn't seem like you've trained formally. It's all based on your inherent physical abilities."

"Are you aware of what happened last night?" Jake guessed that Wendy was referring to the incident from the previous night.

Last night, when Jake fought with Hanson and the others, there were students from Princeton University present, and someone even recorded a video, so it wasn't surprising that it spread around.

However, Jake was a little worried. If the principal found out about this incident, he didn't know if he could still keep his position as a teacher.

Wendy nodded, and she was thinking about something.Afterward, the two of them ran together. Although Wendy didn't say anything further, running together attracted the attention of many people.

Wendy already had a great reputation within Princeton University, and since yesterday, Jake had gradually become a notable figure. The two of them running together like a couple naturally caught people's attention.

After the morning exercise, Jake left Princeton University. When he didn't have classes, he usually didn't stay at Princeton University. Moreover, now that he walked on campus, people would always stare at him, making him feel uncomfortable. He wanted to temporarily disappear from everyone's sight so that he could reduce the attention and make people forget about him.

Unbeknownst to Jake, not long after he left Princeton University, Bill arrived at the school. However, he didn't go to his office; instead, he went to the principal's office.
