Chapter 372: A New Way of Combat
Combat was the first training session they would undergo in the military.
Unlike in the troops where they fought in an outdoor field, there was a dedicated combat classroom in the specialization building.
It was spacious and was roughly the size of an indoor field.
All the four classes of that specialization would conduct their training in this area.
Since she was partnered up with Gu Qingjiu, Feng Yumeng had to stay with her in Class C during combat training.
At that moment, the entire Class C was gathered in a corner, forming a rectangle and seated on the floor.
In the middle stood the training instructor for the combat class, who was teaching them knowledge in the area of combat.
During every lesson, the instructor would impart several key points, such as how to deal more effective blows to the opponent, or how to dodge at fast speed. After this, he would let the students practice.
After an hour of training ended, they would practice in private. And during the next combat training, they would carry out a duel to put into practice what was taught.
And when all the students grasped what was taught, the instructor would move on to another key point.
This cycle would repeat itself, and when the semester ends, there would be a duel.
Comparatively, the troops took a more simple and brutal approach.
Gu Qingjiu had only entered the troops for a month when she was first made to duel with others.
She was a school, after all, so the learning process was bound to be more refined.
It just so happened that the instructor was teaching a new knowledge key point, so a duel wasn’t organized immediately. She listened attentively and meticulously made notes as the instructor spoke.
However, next to her, Feng Yumeng had a troubled expression on her face.
Although she understood what was being taught, she wasn’t as quick to respond as compared to others.
She felt perturbed.
She had heard of Gu Qingjiu’s reputation. That day Qin punished Gu Qingjiu, she was present and saw it ever so clearly.
Everyone said that Gu Qingjiu was a shooting genius, but she had no idea how Gu Qingjiu performed in other aspects. She worried about how badly she was going to implicate Gu Qingjiu with her terrible combat results.
“You and you. You two come out first. Try putting into practice what I just taught.”
The combat instructor randomly picked two students. The two of them stood up and saluted towards the instructor. After that, they began their duel in accordance to their instructor’s instructions.
They had to carry out the duel right there according to the instructor’s instructions, unlike what Gu Qingjiu learned in the troops.
Such as, the instructor asked that one of them should play defense, while the others took on the offensive role. That way, they wouldn’t be able to make any moves that deviated from defense and attacking respectively.
One would keep on dodging, while the other would attack simultaneously.
“No, this won’t do. Like what I said earlier, the speed in which you throw out your punch needs to be fast. If you do it this way, even if your opponent is dumb, they would be able to dodge from your attack!”
The instructor berated them. Next, he went forward and corrected the students’ errors.
Gu Qingjiu fell into deep thought as she watched the scene.
From the way it looks, these students’ actions weren’t as flexible and powerful as what was witnessed during practice in the troops.
After all, they were freshmen…
In actual fact, there were many freshmen who transferred from the local troops. However, the majority of them were ordinary students who enrolled through taking tests.
As Gu Qingjiu attentively listened, the combat lesson ended rather quickly.
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was nearly ten a.m., nearly time for her specialization class.
Feng Yumeng had to return to her own class as well. She stuck out her tongue at Gu Qingjiu. “Classmate Gu, I’ll return to my own class now. I’ll make sure to practice hard when I get back.”
She wanted to work hard because she didn’t wish to drag Gu Qingjiu down, but she could only do her best.
Gu Qingjiu revealed a light smile. “Mm, you should go back. Bye.”
