181: Exam in progress

It took about four or five hours before everyone finally reached their destination.

They truly were like special forces, carrying heavy loads, under the scorching sun, and enduring a long trek.

Although some people momentarily wanted to give up along the way, seeing everyone else still moving forward, they gritted their teeth and persevered, which might be a different kind of conformity.

The final result was good; not a single person gave up halfway, and all the trainees reached their destination.

Xu Zixin was quite satisfied with these trainees; even he, a person who cycles, had thought of giving up, yet these trainees had persevered.

Was he getting old and useless?

Xu Zixin shook his head, not wanting to think about such things.

He led everyone to the cafeteria to eat first, then told them to pack their belongings, and informed them to gather at the sports field at 3 PM.

The time was relatively ample; trainees could even take a short nap after eating.

This schedule was perfectly arranged, allowing the trainees to have the energy to face the second assessment...

Xu Bai heard the commotion, opened the window, and looked towards the entrance of the training camp.

He realized the trainees had arrived, and seeing the three familiar faces, he couldn't help but grin and laugh aloud.

He hadn't expected them to be so tanned after just one day; he wondered if they would all turn into charcoal after a month.

Immediately after, he observed the other trainees and noticed that each of them looked like a zombie, slowly shuffling towards the cafeteria.

Hahaha.

The first assessment of the training camp was truly difficult; when he heard about it at the meeting, his calves couldn't help but tremble.

Carrying so many things and walking for three or four hours, he would be exhausted to death.

"These trainees all have good perseverance; I wonder if any trainees gave up."

A sigh came from the window next door.

Xu Bai turned his head and saw that it was Teacher Li, who was also looking at him at that moment.

Xu Bai smiled, nodded, and agreed,

"Indeed, these trainees all have good perseverance.

We shouldn't dwell too much on those who gave up; instead, we should focus on how to guide those who persevered."

Hearing this, Teacher Li sighed and let it go.

"Indeed, we should think more about these children."

...The trainees silently finished their meal and then silently returned to their assigned dormitories to rest.

This silent atmosphere was completely unlike the usual liveliness of the first day of school.

After all, even the most boisterous person would quiet down after three or four hours of weighted hiking.

Because they were simply too tired, too tired to even want to speak.

Zhao Zixuan woke up after a nap, checked the time, and saw that there were only 20 minutes left until assembly, so he quickly got out of bed and woke up Li Baoyu and Fang Mu.

The three quickly washed up and headed towards the center of the sports field to gather.

Their legs felt soft as they walked forward, and they wondered what task would be assigned to them next, only hoping there wouldn't be any physical activities.

In their current state, they could be knocked down with a single punch...

"Hello everyone, do you want to know what you'll be doing next?"

The trainees below shook their heads.

Why were the training camp teachers all so mischievous, always trying to tease them?

Wei Changyu shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, why aren't you cooperating at all? Then I'll get straight to the point. There are 15 minutes left until the exam begins. The class you'll be taking and your student ID in the training camp are written on the blackboard behind me. You can go find your classes now."

As soon as he finished speaking,

the trainees shed their previous languid appearance and became invigorated.

At the same time, they secretly grumbled to themselves, glad they hadn't engaged in conversation with the teacher just now, or it would have wasted more time.

Everyone immediately went forward to find their names, then recorded their student ID and class; there were only 10 minutes left, and time waits for no one.

However, there were always some people who didn't take the teacher's words to heart, and a classmate of theirs, after some thought, still asked.

"Teacher, what about the trainees who haven't arrived yet? Should we send someone to call them?"

Although Wei Changyu's personality had become more lively than before due to his recent interactions with Xu Zixin, he was still a strict teacher, and he wasn't particularly fond of unpunctual trainees.

"We won't send anyone to call them. I also want to tell you that this exam is very important, as it concerns your future class assignments. If you are delayed because of others and perform poorly, don't blame us for assigning you to a lower class."

Seeing that his words had frightened the trainees in front of him, Wei Changyu's expression softened as he continued.

"However, our training camp isn't that heartless. They can still enter and take the exam if they arrive during the exam period. This exam mainly depends on the results. Some people can finish in half an hour, while others might not finish in an hour.

For those who haven't arrived by the time the exam ends, then unfortunately, they will only be placed in the lowest class."

That person was still worried about the trainees who hadn't arrived, but fortunately, his companion was a clear-headed person and quickly pulled him away.

From a distance, a voice still carried over.

"Don't worry about others right now; our grades are only average, and we don't know if we can do well. You should worry about yourself first."

"We're all from the same academy; isn't it bad to just ignore others?"

"They themselves didn't take the teacher's words to heart; that's nobody else's fault. Hurry, there are only five minutes left; you can't make me do poorly on the exam!"

"Okay, let's go take the exam quickly."

Seeing that all the trainees who had just gathered had gone to the classrooms to take the exam, Wei Changyu sat on a chair, reading a book while waiting for the trainees who were sleeping in.

He could only pray that those trainees would wake up within the exam time and that they would have good grades and write quickly. Only then could they achieve good results.

Many of these talented trainees were the darlings of the teachers, often having many privileges in the academy, so they were not accustomed to listening to the teachers.

In the training camp, they wouldn't be indulged. Everyone in the training camp was a genius; there was no 'most' genius, only 'more' genius. Unless you were already so powerful that you could ignore the rules, the teachers would not grant you privileges...

Fang Mu sat down in his seat, waiting for the exam to begin.

He didn't recognize anyone in this exam classroom; the teachers had mixed up the trainees, and except for the two academies with large numbers of students, classmates from other academies were in different classes.

Xu Bai walked into the classroom, holding Xu Le in his left arm and a stack of exam papers in his right hand.

He divided the exam papers into five stacks, handed them to the first student in each row, telling them to pass them back, and then Xu Bai sat down on the chair at the podium.

Looking at the faces of the trainees below, Xu Bai only then noticed Fang Mu.

Fang Mu also looked at Xu Bai; the two blinked at each other, then shifted their gaze.
