Chapter 502: The Most Heartwrenching Pep Talk Ever
By the time noon came, the five military schools had quite a fruitful morning.
Since there were many participants this time, most of them males, there wasn’t much food leftover for those soldiers guarding the military point after they were done with lunch.
Gu Qingjiu ate her fill, then rested in preparation for that afternoon’s battle.
As there wasn’t enough space in the courtyard, the National Defense University (NDU) took the Information Engineering University (IEU) students to where they were resting.
The thick-skinned Pan Shiyuan, on the other hand, shamelessly stuck around with his members.
It was said that the general and the soldiers he led were a great deal alike.
Just from this alone one could see the differences between the members of these two schools.
With Yan Hanqi constantly following Lu Yimei and her members around, one would have thought that Yan Hanqi was from the National Military University of China (NMUC) if they didn’t know any better.
But Gu Qingjiu could feel that Yan Hanqi was there because of her.
Because every time she looked at this girl, the latter would always face her with a smile.
It felt a bit strange, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Lu Yixin didn’t seem very fond of this Yan Hanqi, for she had stopped the latter while she was talking on several occasions.
When night time came, the competition that Gu Qingjiu had been looking forward to, was finally about to begin.
The two newly joined military school students brought along their own equipment.
After all the preparations were in place, Lu Yimei quietly asked Gu Qingjiu, “Are you able to deduce which school the other party is from at the quickest time possible?”
Gu Qingjiu looked around and gently nodded. “Depends on what kind of situation, but under most circumstances, yes.”
Or else she wouldn’t have not injured a single one of her teammates the last time.”
Lu Yimei paused slightly upon hearing this.
She hadn’t expected Gu Qingjiu’s to have such shrewd judgment.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t distinguish during the competition either, but it would take her a certain amount of time.
Unless she was hiding in a dark spot.
Gu Qingjiu, however, was the sort who took the initiative to attack. This went to show that her observation powers were faster than most people.
She revealed a faint smile and shook her head. “Then do watch out. If you run into the students from IEU, let a few of them off okay…”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
So she was asking her to cut them some slack?
Gu Qingjiu didn’t guarantee she had the ability to control the situation completely, but still she nodded. “I’ll try my best to do so.”
But if any student was attacking her, she definitely wouldn’t let them off.
While Lu Yimei was asking Gu Qingjiu to cut that school some slack, Pan Shiyuan was also telling the same thing to his members.
“If later on, you are able to distinguish which school you run into and realize they’re from NMUC, try your best to cut them some slack. Okay?”
Same words, but expressed differently. From this alone one could tell the difference:
One said to let a few of them off, one said to cut them some slack…
If Pan Shiyuan learnt of this, he would definitely be pissed off.
The Shooting Department merely nodded their heads and didn’t at all appear displeased.
Only Yan Hanqi revealed a smile upon hearing this. Pan Shiyuan looked towards her with a smile. “Hanqi, you’re now our ace. Remember to cut them some slack.”
Yan Hanqi’s eyes were narrowed in beautiful crescents as she smiled.
“Got it, Commander!”
She sounded very confident, and for some reason, exuded a dangerous vibe.
The other commanders: “We’ll just try our best to hide. Same old technique—hide and wait for an opponent to show up. If someone tries to lure you out, make sure you don’t! You’re no match for her! Also, don’t think of taking the initiative to attack. Did you see how NDU ended up previously?”
The members were speechless.
This was perhaps the most heartwrenching pep talk the commander had ever given during the shooting competitions.
