Chapter 371: Compulsory Class
Through that brief exchange with Zhen Huan, Gu Qingjiu finally understood the reason behind it.
There was a special rule in the military school and that was partnering in combat.
Apart from the specialization classes, students in every class had to pair up.
They would be allocated group points for communal training classes like combat classes and shooting classes.
Their individual marks are then added up for the total mark of the group.
A military school was just like other schools, too. Since there exists competition, someone would have to rank bottom.
Unfortunately, Feng Yumeng was that certain someone at the bottom.
She had incredibly lousy marks in combat class, nearly ranking at the bottom in the entire level.
As for the other areas though, Feng Yumeng was quite alright.
But in a military school where everyone had roughly the same average marks, a partner who didn’t show exceptional results would not be able to pitch in points and carry Feng Yumeng, who placed bottom in combat class but performed averagely in other areas. Hence, their total mark as a group would naturally be better.
Simply put, Feng Yumeng was the sort who dragged down her partner.
Her previous partner was furious about Feng Yumeng dragging her results down. Hence, even though she couldn’t disobey her superior’s orders, she had run to the Chief Commanding Officer to cry and complain. In the end, the school had no choice but to break up the pair.
No one was willing to be partners with Feng Yumeng in Class A and as a result, she was left with no partner.
Since she didn’t have a partner, Feng Yumeng’s communal training classes results ranked the bottom in the entire level.
Although it didn’t affect her from graduating, it was rather embarrassing.
It was at this time that Gu Qingjiu appeared.
There were no rules that forbid students from different classes from partnering up.
After all, Feng Yumeng’s previous partner subsequently partnered up with someone from another class.
Without a doubt, Gu Qingjiu, who had striking results in shooting was currently the only person who joined the Shooting Department in her first year. It was just that the school hadn’t announced it to everyone yet.
She would definitely have superior results in shooting over the rest. And if her combat results weren’t too bad, she could help bring Feng Yumeng’s results up.
As early as last week, the instructors in the specialization class already had such an idea.
However, Qin Huai played a part in this as well.
His intention was for someone to drag Gu Qingjiu’s results down.
Although low marks wouldn’t deter anyone from graduating, it would still influence the final marks the superior would give and the final marks would in turn affect the allocation to different units after graduation.
Qin Huai ultimately bore hatred over that incident. Although he couldn’t seek trouble with Gu Qingjiu openly, no one could say anything about pairing her up with Feng Yumeng.
If Gu Qingjiu agreed, it would be easily done.
And Gu Qingjiu actually agreed.
After Gu Qingjiu had agreed to become partners with Feng Yumeng, their results for communal training classes would be tied together. The instructor permitted them to exchange a few words.
Once Zhen Huan left, Feng Yumeng confessed in a small voice, “Classmate Gu, my combat results are terrible. I might drag you down.”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head, revealing an ease-inducing smile on her face. “It’s okay, just try your best.”
She didn’t have much of an opinion regarding who she was partnered up with.
Because she currently didn’t understand the implications of having low marks as a group.
To have lousy marks in combat actually simply meant that one wasn’t good at fighting and combat.
Everyone was good at different things and it wasn’t something that could be forced.
Moreover, her specialization was computer science, and she wasn’t planning on becoming an armed police.
It was just that this was a compulsory class and that she had no choice but to take it.
