After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became That Omega - Chapter 9
Gan Xi’s words made the students look at one another.
The next second, they swarmed toward the two dorm rooms, afraid that if they were even a step slower, they would not be able to find a good bed.
As soon as they entered, they were dumbfounded.
Inside each dorm room were ten bunk beds. A row of cabinets stood against the wall, and on top of the cabinets were identical porcelain cups arranged neatly.
On each bed lay a quilt folded like a block of tofu. Beneath the beds were two porcelain basins and two small stools.
“Here, everything is used uniformly.” Gan Xi stood with his hands behind his back, smiling. “You are not allowed to use your own things.”
The moment they heard Gan Xi’s words, students immediately let out wails.
Gan Xi turned a deaf ear to them. He merely checked the time. “Ten minutes left.”
Hearing the instructor’s merciless words, everyone sped up.
Some people had only just opened their suitcases, and when they heard there were only ten minutes left, they instantly became flustered.
Sang Yuan put the things he usually used into the cabinet and left everything else untouched.
The moment he entered the dorm room, he had already observed the overall environment. There was a balcony in the dorm, and on the balcony were exactly ten large cabinets. They should be for storing their luggage, one cabinet for two people.
He looked toward the boy who had chosen the lower bunk beneath him. The boy was currently pulling things out of his suitcase in a panic.
Sang Yuan could not help reminding him, “Just take out the things you usually use. Leave the things you don’t use much in the suitcase. You can take them out later when you need them.”
“Ah, okay, okay.” The boy hurriedly stuffed things back into his suitcase, leaving only a portion on the bed.
“The two of us can put our luggage in one cabinet.” As Sang Yuan spoke, he picked up both suitcases, chose a cabinet, and shoved them both inside.
The boy quickly thanked him. “Thank you, thank you.”
“No need. You should hurry and organize your things. Time’s almost up.” Sang Yuan smiled. He had brought very few things, so he finished organizing quickly. With nothing else to do, he stood to the side and watched the group of people busily rushing around.
Gan Xi immediately noticed Sang Yuan. Seeing that he had already finished organizing everything, he secretly nodded, but he did not say anything. He only walked back and forth between the two dorm rooms.
“Time’s up! Everyone out here and assemble!” Gan Xi stood in the corridor and shouted.
Sang Yuan was the first to walk out. He had not brought much to begin with, and he had basically been the first in their dorm room to finish tidying up.
The other students came out one after another, dragging their feet. It took five full minutes before everyone was finally standing properly.
There was no expression on Gan Xi’s face.
The first floor had a very long corridor. Other classes were also beginning to come out and form lines one after another. For a while, the place was noisy and chaotic.
“Now we’ll begin roll call. When your name is called, shout ‘present.’ Do you hear me?” Gan Xi took out a list from behind him.
“Zhou Tong.”
“Present.”
“Didn’t eat?” Gan Xi lifted his eyes and stared at Zhou Tong with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Zhou Tong’s face turned bright red. He stiffened his neck and shouted again, “Present!”
“Ma Chao.”
“Present!”
With Zhou Tong as an example, the people behind him did not dare lower their voices in the slightest, afraid they would be singled out too.
“Sang Yuan.”
“Present!”
Gan Xi glanced at Sang Yuan, then continued calling names.
The roll call for forty people was quickly finished.
Putting away the list, Gan Xi looked at the line. “Sang Yuan, step out.”
Sang Yuan froze for a moment. “Yes!”
“You’ll serve as acting class monitor for now and be responsible for all matters concerning this formation.”
“Yes!”
“Now, take your quilt and lead the formation to gather on the field.”
“Yes!”
Sang Yuan turned back into Room 103 and carried out his quilt.
“Everyone, listen up. Turn right. Forward, march!”
Some Alphas in the line were very unconvinced. They did not understand why the instructor would let a Beta act as class monitor. No matter what, he should have picked an Alpha instead, right?
However, at this moment, Gan Xi’s face was completely expressionless, and no one dared to raise any questions.
Once they reached the field, Sang Yuan specifically found a spot that was not too sunny. At this time of day, if they stood under the sun, they would definitely lose a layer of skin.
Gan Xi did not mind Sang Yuan’s little trick. After they arrived, he had Sang Yuan return to the line and said to everyone, “Everyone form a circle. We’ll start with housekeeping training.”
He directly had Sang Yuan place the quilt on the ground. “Open it.”
Sang Yuan swore he heard many people in the line gloating, clearly glad that it was not their quilt.
Without arguing, Sang Yuan simply opened the quilt as instructed.
Gan Xi knelt on one knee. “Everyone, watch clearly. I’ll only demonstrate once.”
As he spoke, Gan Xi cleanly and swiftly restored the opened quilt into a perfectly square tofu block. After showing it to everyone, Gan Xi casually unfolded the quilt he had just folded.
“Now, each of you will come forward and demonstrate once. Sang Yuan, you start.”
“Yes!” Sang Yuan stepped forward and, just as cleanly, restored the quilt to its original shape.
“Very good. Mess it up, then return to the line.”
“Yes!”
“You all saw what the class monitor did just now. I hope you can reach the same standard.” Gan Xi smiled, looking very easy to talk to. “Starting from the class monitor and moving to the right, each person will demonstrate in order. After every person finishes, mess up the quilt.”
“All students who pass don’t need to train again. As for the others, as long as you don’t pass, you’ll keep repeating it until you know how.”
“Report, Instructor!” A student raised his hand.
“Speak.”
“May I ask if the students who pass first can leave?”
Gan Xi glanced at him, and the smile on his face gradually cooled. “No. You are a team, not scattered individuals. Only when everyone in the team passes can you leave.”
The student who had asked shrank his neck and said nothing more.
Everyone demonstrated once, and it could be said that the quilts were folded in all kinds of strange ways. There was every possible shape.
Forget Gan Xi—even they themselves could barely stand looking at it.
“Except for the class monitor, everyone redo it.” Gan Xi did not get angry. He merely tossed out those words lightly.
Once again, starting from Sang Yuan as the center, everyone took another turn.
Their formation sat on the ground folding quilts for the entire afternoon, yet there were still several people who had not passed.
“Betas are such trouble. They’re so slow at learning everything,” an Alpha muttered.
After differentiating into an Alpha, it was true that every aspect of them was much stronger than ordinary people. Their learning ability and hands-on ability had already formed a clear divide.
The remaining few people all had anxious looks on their faces. If they were practicing on their own, it would not be much of a problem.
The key issue was that there were forty students in the same class together, and dozens of people were staring at them. They were already not doing well, and under these circumstances, the pressure became even greater.
Some of them even started sweating from their foreheads, their faces turning unusually red.
“Sang Yuan.” Gan Xi suddenly called out.
“Present.”
“Go. Demonstrate for them again.”
“Yes.”
Sang Yuan went directly in front of the quilt and deliberately slowed his movements, neatly folding the quilt again before stepping back.
“Did you understand? Now, the remaining people, continue immediately.” Gan Xi’s tone remained calm and indifferent.
