After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became That Omega - Chapter 10

After stumbling through it, all the students finally completed the assessment before dark.

“Everyone, stand up.”

After arranging the formation, Gan Xi had Sang Yuan lead the students in the class to dinner, while he picked up the quilt himself. “I’ll send this back to you later.”

In the cafeteria, Sang Yuan led the students to sit in their assigned spots.

In the middle of the long dining table sat a basket of steamed buns, a basin of soup, and a basin of vegetables.

Ten people sat at each long table, and the food on every table was exactly the same.

Sang Yuan and the others sat down at four separate tables.

They had just settled down when they heard an instructor shout, “Begin eating. Ten minutes.”

Ten minutes?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

Some people snorted disdainfully and still ate at their usual pace.

Others looked at the food on the table with disgust. What even was this stuff? Was it meant for pigs?

Sang Yuan, however, was not surprised.

Back when he used to follow those police uncles around, their speed when eating was not much different from people in the army.

When they encountered a case, it was common to have to leave after only taking one bite.

He kindly reminded them in a low voice, “Eat quickly.”

Someone at the table immediately snapped back, “What are you pretending for? You’re just a Beta. Do you really think you’re someone important? You’re only an acting class monitor, yet you really think you’re a big deal?”

The blunt words instantly froze the atmosphere at the table.

Some people were indifferent, some took pleasure in the drama, and some looked worried.

Sang Yuan was silent for a moment, then gave a light laugh. His sharp gaze met the speaker’s eyes. “Student Du Ming, it seems you have a lot of opinions about the instructor’s decision.”

“If you’re unconvinced, you can think of a way to replace me. There’s no need to sit here whining.”

“You!” Du Ming was so angry he stood up, glaring furiously.

“What are you doing? If you’re not eating, get out!” The instructor standing by the wall shouted, making Du Ming stiffen. He sat back down resentfully.

Sang Yuan did not say anything more and simply sped up his eating.

Ten minutes was nowhere near enough for many people who were used to eating slowly.

After a whistle blew, all the instructors standing against the wall took a step forward. “Everyone, stand up!”

Only some of the students had finished eating and stood up.

“Everyone who stood up may return to the dorms to rest.” One instructor stepped forward and swept his gaze over the people still sitting in their seats. “Everyone else, ten laps around the field.”

“What!”

“On what grounds?”

The instructor’s words made the remaining students explode into protest.

“In the army, obeying orders is your duty!”

“I don’t care whether you’re favored children of heaven or not. As long as you enter this base, you will follow our commands and orders. If you refuse to obey, I have plenty of ways to make you listen.”

“Now, if the people standing don’t return to the dorms, they’ll run laps with the rest.”

Hearing the instructor’s merciless words, the people standing hurriedly walked out of the cafeteria.

Someone tried to sneak into that group, but the instructor directly pinned him down. His entire face was pressed against the ground, unable to move.

The rest of the students no longer dared to move. Watching that Alpha with his face against the floor, crying out “ow, ow,” none of them dared make a sound.

Even an Alpha could be easily pressed to the ground and rubbed into submission, so the remaining Betas and Omegas were even less willing to act recklessly.

When Sang Yuan walked out of the cafeteria, he saw Ji Tang and Luo Xinghe. He waved at them and greeted them happily.

“Which formations are you guys in? Where are you staying?”

“Ji Tang is in Formation One. I’m in Formation Seven.” Luo Xinghe smiled at Sang Yuan. “It’s quite a coincidence. We’re both on the third floor. He’s in Room 303, and I’m in Room 307. What about you?”

“I’m in Formation Fifteen, staying in Room 103, two floors below Ji Tang.”

Sang Yuan chatted and laughed with them for a bit, then saw his instructor waving at him from up ahead. “My instructor’s looking for me. I’ll go over first. Let’s talk later.”

After saying that, Sang Yuan rushed off in a hurry.

Luo Xinghe smiled. “This roommate of ours really is very cheerful.”

“Mm.” Ji Tang gave a low hum and saw Sang Yuan take the quilt from an instructor, a bright smile on his face.

He seemed very much like someone without any worries.

Sang Yuan returned to the dorm holding the new quilt Gan Xi had brought back.

This instructor was actually pretty nice. He had specially changed it for him for a new quilt.

In Sang Yuan’s dorm, half the people had not returned.

They were all among the people running laps.

More than an hour later, people finally began returning to the dorm weakly.

The little bit they had eaten had been completely burned away after running laps.

One by one, they hammered their legs and started cursing the moment they returned to the dorm.

Since it was the freshmen’s first day of military training, no study content was arranged for them that night.

At ten o’clock, the lights went out on time for sleep.

Early the next morning, Sang Yuan woke up and, as usual, went running to warm up. He also reviewed the martial arts he had learned before along the way. When he came back, he even ran into many soldiers who had already started their morning run.

Sang Yuan picked up his speed. Sure enough, by the time he reached the dorm, Gan Xi was holding a whistle and preparing to blow it. Seeing Sang Yuan return from outside with a rosy face, he raised an eyebrow. “Went out to train?”

“Yes, Instructor.”

“Not bad. I hope you can still maintain such good stamina tomorrow.” Gan Xi said this with unclear meaning, then directly blew the whistle.

The piercing sound of the whistle jolted the people in both dorm rooms awake from their dreams.

Sang Yuan had already changed into his military training uniform neatly. He shouted at everyone, “Hurry up. The instructor is outside.”

The people in the dorm quickly started moving.

But yesterday’s laps had left some people completely unable to get up. They felt as if their legs no longer belonged to them.

By the time the two dorm rooms finally lined up in a scattered mess, fifteen minutes had already passed.

Gan Xi checked his watch. He was not angry, only smiling. “Generally speaking, we give five minutes for washing up. Considering this is your first morning waking up here, I relaxed the limit by five minutes for you.”

“Unfortunately, as of right now, you have still gone over the time by five minutes.”

“Everyone, after today’s training ends, you will receive a running punishment. Five laps.”

“Starting tomorrow, as long as there is even one person in a dorm who does not finish washing up and stand in formation within the required time, everyone will be punished together.”

“Oh, right. Starting tomorrow, washing-up time will be five minutes.”

“Now, class monitor, lead the formation to the field for morning exercises. Ten laps to warm up.”

The instructor’s words made many people’s expressions change. Ten laps to warm up?

Was this how warm-ups were supposed to work?

The people who had already run ten laps yesterday had legs that started trembling.

Had these instructors all agreed on this beforehand? Did running have to start at ten laps to show sincerity?

“Oh, right. If you don’t finish running, there will be no breakfast.” Gan Xi kindly added one more sentence, then checked the time again. “Breakfast time is at eight. If you don’t make it to the cafeteria by eight, then you won’t have breakfast.”

“There is one hour left until eight.”

“I hope you won’t have to train on an empty stomach.”

“Do your best.”
