Chapter 319: School Assembly

“Are there any problems with the shooting department recently?”
After she was done with her practice, when Gu Qingjiu returned to the hostel she asked Gu Qian this.
With half a slice of dried beef in her mouth, Gu Qian’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. She laughed out loud. “Did the Instructor mention it to you? I knew that the shooting department would definitely ask you to join them this year!”
Chu Lian, too, looked up from her book. In a refined manner, she said, “Ah, shooting department? This department is something like the student council. Apart from having great power, it is also very special. Those shooting talents in the military were chosen from the shooting departments in the schools.”
“But for our school, our shooting results aren’t too great. For three consecutive years, we placed last among all the military schools in the capital, and in the entire nation we rank fifth from the bottom!”
Gu Qian laughed out loud. In any case, she didn’t belong to the shooting department, so she didn’t feel like its glory was tied to her.
“I think they’re pinning their hopes on you.”
Chu Lian voiced out her speculation.
Gu Qingjiu raised an eyebrow. “I’m one person…”
In terms of shooting, she had absolute confidence in herself after she had been through all that training. But for her to single-handedly save the entire school?
Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel that she was capable enough to do that.
“What are you afraid of? Every year the shooting competition has only two categories—individual and group. For the group category, it would depend on the competition venue, for different venues influence the competitors differently. You haven’t started practicing free targets and moving targets. There’s no hurry. In the group category, it wasn’t unheard of for one person to beat an entire team.”
Gu Qian seemed to have a lot of confidence in Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu now had a rough understanding of some information regarding the shooting department.
But Gu Qingjiu had to admit, when she heard that their school placed bottom in the shooting competition, she found it rather funny.
They were after all a military school in the capital!
However, there were also plenty of outstanding talents in the local troops. Wasn’t she transferred here from the local troops?
Perhaps there were even more such cases in the other schools.
After getting a clearer understanding of the situation, Gu Qingjiu prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Opposite of her, Qi Xiaoran was still busy.
However, she appeared rather weary today.
Usually, she would study ’till around eleven, but today it was only 10 and already she was preparing to go to bed.
Perhaps she had gone somewhere with her brother to have fun.
With this thought, Gu Qingjiu didn’t bother Qi Xiaoran and simply took a shower before going to her bed to rest.
Early tomorrow morning, she had to go to Qin Huai to perform before him!
…
Monday, flag-raising ceremony in the military school.
The military school would hold an assembly once every two weeks.
This time, He Niancheng, whose word had spread around in the military school these two days, finally appeared in front of everyone in the school, at the assembly.
When he went on stage in his black uniform, Gu Qingjiu could hear people gasping around her.
Clearly, they were astounded by his appearance.
Aloof, noble, elegant.
It was like all the wonderful adjectives were applicable to this man.
When he stood on stage and spoke to the teachers and students, there was a cold and arrogant glow in his eyes.
Just like a deity who was high up in the air, looking down at the mere mortals below.
Despite the fact that his speech was very simple.
Even though the military school imposed strict rules, the instant He Niancheng’s identity was revealed to be the chief instructor of the first-year students…
Many freshmen couldn’t resist cheering out loud.

The military school leader could only shake his head helplessly at the sight of this.
