Young Master Gu's whistle flew over the academy and through Mount Song to the skies above Dijing ten miles away. After a while, the citizens of Dijing no longer needed the watchmen's call, and after a while, there was no longer any need for His Majesty's Morning Drum, for Young Master Gu's whistle was good enough.
All students woke at fifth watch and lapped around Mount Song. Weakness was accepted, but never laziness — the Academy's physician followed the students in a carriage, and anyone who dared fake illness would receive a walnut gift from the Vice Headmaster's retainer, Young Master Gu.
The countless lazy students had their faces struck and covered with the remains of delicious walnuts.
After the run, all students were gathered to practice Chinese Boxing. With the military expert Feng Zhiwei invited to instruct her students, the military students soon discovered that there was suddenly a group of students even fiercer than them.
