Chapter 71 - 71 Practical Training
71 Practical Training
In order to help the students maintain physical fitness, Cassel Academy would organize practical training for the students in remote military districts at this time every year.
This was also the most troublesome time for countless students.
The rich children had been pampered since they were young and had never suffered at all. However, they had to be sent to the army at this time and be isolated from the world for a week before they could regain their freedom.
Shi Man did not care about this at all. She had long wanted to find an opportunity to recover her physical fitness. She did not expect a heaven-sent opportunity to hit her. Compared to the worried faces of the other students, she looked especially calm.
!!
After Fang Han’s unforgettable birthday banquet yesterday, she walked around Shi Man when she saw her. She did not even dare to look at her. It was also rare for Chen Wei to be well-behaved.
Not all the students in Class F had the guts to go against Shi Man. After all, no matter how many rumors the outside world claimed that she was an idiot, they had to be mindful of the Shi family’s strength. In the past, they had only colluded with Fang Han and the others and stepped on a few small characters.
Now that even Fang Han had admitted defeat in front of Shi Man, the others naturally would not stand out again, afraid that they would be targeted by Shi Man.
They did not know how a rumored piece of trash could change so much. They could only say that rumors could not be trusted. They could only blame themselves for being too stupid in the past. Now, they could not bring themselves to build a good relationship with Shi Man.
Thinking of this, the students of Class F could not help but envy Su Tang. Now, she was the only one in the class who could talk to Shi Man. If it were anyone else, Shi Man would ignore them. If she was in a bad mood, she would even ask them to scram.
The practical training started in the afternoon. Many students had already prepared all kinds of medicine, snacks, and clothes.
Only Shi Man sat in the classroom without any preparation.
Seeing that she was empty-handed, Su Tang knew that she must not have read the messages in the group yesterday. She chuckled and handed the backpack she had prepared in advance to Shi Man. “There are some underwear, snacks, and water inside. Take them and use them first.”
Shi Man looked over in confusion. Her gaze landed on another backpack of the same color behind her. She said calmly, “Did you specially prepare it for me?”
Su Tang blushed and nodded. Then, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly waved her hand shyly. “The clothes are all new. Don’t mind them.”
“Thank you.” Shi Man took the backpack and weighed it in her hand. She said slowly, “How much is it? I’ll pay you.”
“No need,” Su Tang quickly shook her head and refused. “You’ve helped me too many times. This is something I should do. I can’t take your money.”
“But I remember that you don’t have a lot of pocket money.” Shi Man casually took out a card and stuffed it into her hand. Seeing that she was about to refuse, she frowned impatiently. “Take it. In the future, when I ask you to run errands and buy things, use this card.”
Su Tang was stunned for a moment before nodding hesitantly. “Alright, look for me anytime if you need anything.”
“Yes.” Shi Man hung her backpack beside the table and picked up her phone to swipe the screen again. Sensing that the person beside her did not look away for a moment, her relaxed brows furrowed again. “Is there anything else?”
“Um…” Su Tang rubbed her hands awkwardly. Her lower lip was bitten until it lost its color before she was willing to let go.” Can… can I stay in the same dormitory as you? ”
The dormitory provided by the practical training was only for two people. Last year, Su Tang suffered a lot with one of Fang Han’s sidekicks. Although Fang Han would not find trouble with her this year, she still wanted to stay with Shi Man.
“As you please.” Shi Man did not care about this. Instead of being arranged to live with a troublemaker, it was better to have Su Tang. At least she was thoughtful and obedient.
Hearing that Shi Man did not reject her in disgust, a smile appeared on Su Tang’s face. She carefully promised her, “I don’t snore or grind my teeth when I sleep at night. I can get up in the morning when you wake up. I won’t make a sound to wake you up. I can also…”
“Alright, alright.” Shi Man held her forehead speechlessly. Su Tang was good at everything, but sometimes, she was a little too long-winded. She looked up at Su Tang impatiently. “You’re my roommate, not my slave. You don’t have to do whatever I want.”
“I understand,” Su Tang agreed softly. She lowered her head obediently like a child listening to a parent’s scolding, but her face was filled with joy.
In the afternoon, the training vehicle was driven to the field on time. Shi Mu watched his precious sister get into the bus reluctantly before turning around to get into the car behind the training vehicle. He instructed the driver, “Drive. I can’t let Manman suffer alone!”
Apart from the grade that was about to graduate, all the other teachers and students were asked to participate in this practical training.
Shi Mu was not in the ranks of this practical training. However, he took advantage of his status as the president of the Student Union and used his privileges to take the lead. He specially obtained the principal’s approval to allow the Student Union to participate in the training as a supervising entity.
