Fweet!!!!
Loud and pricking throughout the entire island. Like a robot, Mu Zhe and Lulu sat up from their slumber. So do Fantuan. He stare at Bai Li Feng's face with his half asleep eyes before he fall back to sleep.
Lulu and Mu Zhe sit on the bed. Still half a sleep. But they stare at Bai Li Feng's face with unsatisfying gaze. But they didn't dare to fight back.
"Ten minutes. Change into this uniform."
Bai Li Feng give his order as he threw the uniform that was still wrapped in plastic on the floor.
"Faster!"
Bai Li Feng shouting after seeing Lulu and Mu Zhe still dazed on their bed.
Hearing the shouts, they were moved as fast as lightning. Reaching for the uniform on the floor, and changed their pajamas into the uniform.
The same thing happened in Zhang Yiran and Ah Fei's room. The task was taken by Bai Lu. In Jiang Hai's room, the task was taken by Ling Er. And Bo Ya took over in Ma Yuan and Zhou Jun's room.
With a forced look on their faces, they gathered in the field. Training equipment that looked like military training were everywhere.
In the middle of the field, Ru Yi was already waiting. His face looked so firm. Very different from the Ru Yi they knew. Really like two different person.
"Good morning everyone!"
He said.
"Good morning..."
They replied weakly.
"I can't hear you. Louder!"
Ru Yi snapped.
"Good morning!"
They replied in unison while standing as tall as lampposts.
"Today we start with basic training. Because this is your first day. I hope you can cooperate so that our training ends quickly. You can enjoy breakfast and shower and then attend class as usual."
Ru Yi explained. Everyone was silent. Unsatisfied, but didn't dare to complain.
"Now run around the arena five times. Now go!"
Ru Yi ordered. "Demon!" Mu Zhe snapped while giving Ru Yi a death glare. Ru Yi pretended not to know. Because that was his job. He was grateful, Lulu understood that and complied with all his instructions.
Ru Yi stole a glance at Jiang Hai. The man just obeyed without showing any reaction. Ru Yi pursed his lips. His heart suddenly felt uneasy.
Ten minutes had passed and they had only just finished two rounds. Mu Zhe already exhausted. So was Ah Fei. The two of them were already sprawled on the side of the ring with heaving chests. Every now and then they could be heard coughing from lack of oxygen.
"Mu Zhe! Ah Fei! You two can stop now."
Ru Yi said. Not wanting to continue to force them on their first day. He he do that, they might faint in the middle of the track.
Mu Zhe and Ah Fei smiled happily. "Finally..."
"Tomorrow you two will have to do more than today."
Ru Yi said, turning off both of their smiles. "Demon!" Mu Zhe pursed his lips in protest. Ru Yi pretended not to see it.
"Ma Yuan! You can stop now! The others finish the run."
Ru Yi shout. He knew Ma Yuan still hadn't fully recovered from the attack by the villain the other day.
"While waiting for the others to finish their run, the three of you should warm up first. Li Feng!"
"Yes sir!"
Bai Li Feng quickly walked over and stood in front of the three of them. Started doing their first workout of the morning.
"Ling Er. You take care of those who just finished running."
"Yes sir!"
After they all warmed up, they had to run back and forth from point A to point B, which was five meters away, five times. They also ducked from point A to point B five times. And finally, they had to do fifty push-ups.
The first day of their training was like being in hell, they couldn't imagine how they would get through the next few days. Would they manage to get through their nightmares safely? Or would they die on the way to be swallowed by the terrible Demon?
After the training, Mu Zhe could no longer feel his body. His whole body felt numb.
Ah Fei was like a person with Parkinson's. His was body tremble non-stop. He coughed repeatedly due to lack of oxygen. Zhang Yiran rubbed his back to relieve the tightness in his chest.
Ma Yuan was already stranded like a whale on the beach. His chest was heaving violently. His gaze was spinning and his throat felt nauseous.
Zhou Jun, Jiang Hai and Lulu. They seemed to be used to all of that. Their faces were plain. Tired, but had to look calm in front of their partners.
"I can't even lift a finger. How can I eat?"
Mu Zhe groaned as he tried to lift a fork to enjoy their breakfast. His hands were shaking and he felt weak.
"Me too."
Ah Fei said. Supporting every Mu Zhe's words. His hands were also shaking like someone with Parkinson's.
"But... teacher Ma is worse."
Mu Zhe said as he turned to Ma Yuan who was lying on the bench next to them. His chest was still heaving. His face looked pale and lifeless.
"Ma Yuan. Are you okay?"
Zhou Jun asked worriedly. Ma Yuan nodded. For a twenty-nine-year-old to have to compete with fifteen and sixteen-year-old teenagers was crazy work. "This is really a nightmare." Ma Yuan groaned inwardly.
The dining room door opened. Ru Yi entered with Bai Li Feng.
"Here comes the Demon."
They groaned. Ru Yi smiled. His face felt hot from their discontented looks. But he had to be strong in shouldering the responsibility that had been given to him.
"After breakfast. You can all go take a shower and prepare for the health test and then attend class as usual."
Ru Yi explained.
"Ma Yuan. You also come with the others."
He continued. Ma Yuan just nodded. He couldn't even raise his hand. There was no energy left.
"Today I'm giving you guys more time to rest. At nine o'clock, please gather in the treatment room. Li Feng, you'll bring them there later."
His instructions. Bai Li Feng nodded. "Why am I the only one who has to take all the responsibility?" Bai Li Feng could only grumble in his heart.
Ru Yi turned and walked away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling free from the terrifying demon's observation.
"This is what you call resting!? We can even lift our fingers to feed ourselves, what kind of resting is this? We're done... Why...? Why did all this have to happen...?"
Mu Zhe grumbled.
"Sorry. This is all..."
"Don't worry. I'll stay strong. We'll get through this together."
Before Lulu could finish his words, Mu Zhe had cut him off. He began to realize his mistake. In his endless complaining, he unconsciously hurt Lulu's heart. Lulu smiled wryly.
"I'm hungry. But I can't even lift a fork.."
Mu Zhe changed the subject.
"Do you want me to feed you?"
Lulu asked. With a blushing all over his face, Mu Zhe nodded. Lulu smiled. Without delay, he began to feed the fried noodles into Mu Zhe's mouth. The others looked at each other with a smug smile. "Show off."
"Feifei."
Ah Fei turned to face Zhang Yiran who was already prepared with a mouthful of fried noodles for him. Ah Fei nod and open his mouth without feeling guilty. As if all of this was normal.
"Ahhhh... I miss the old Ru Yi..."
Jiang Hai groaned as he slammed his forehead on the table. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry. This is just for a while."
Bai Li Feng persuaded. Jiang Hai raised his face. Stared at Bai Li Feng's face with eyes begging for sympathy.
"I can't do anything. This is his job. After all, he's my boss. Be patient, everyone."
Bai Li Feng persuaded again.
"Li Feng!"
Ru Yi shouted from outside.
"Yes! I'm coming!"
Like a robot, Bai Li Feng stood up straight.
"Good luck for all of us."
He whispered and ran out.
"It seems that teacher Li is also having a nightmare like us."
Mu Zhe said in monotones. The others nodded in agreement.
