Chapter 851: Keeping A Low Profile

Huo Yao nodded before leaning into the seat backrest lazily. The light in the hall was dim, so it was impossible for anyone to see her face. Moments later, she said airily, “No matter what they take from us, they shouldn’t have touched our money.”

Yuan Xi felt a little puzzled when she heard what Huo Yao said. “Huh?”

Huo Yao glanced sideways at Yuan Xi. “You really need to study hard.”

Yuan Xi’s lips twitched. Would studying help in this case?

Meanwhile, the performance had commenced.

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Yao and stopped probing. Instead, she turned to look at the stage.

The military training performance consisted of mainly singing military songs, cross-talk, or musicals so as to produce a positive atmosphere.

Huo Yao felt sleepy just watching the performance. She eventually covered her face with her military cap, leaned into the seat, and took a nap.

This was so boring.

The next day was the last day of military training. The students would be tested for shooting before they were scored for their performance throughout military training.

The testing commenced at 10:00 in the morning.

Other than the instructors, the chief military instructor, whom they had only seen on the first day, finally showed his face. He was tall and came dressed in camouflage gear. His face looked particularly cool and distant under the military cap.

Although a lot of students gossiped about the chief military instructor in their private time, they instinctively did not dare to do it now.

They felt intimidated by him from the bottom of their hearts.

“The chief military instructor looks so scary.” Yuan Xi had already mentioned this on the first day of the military training. Now that it was the last day of training, she felt the same way.

Huo Yao raised her head slightly and looked at Min Yu as he gave off a slightly menacing vibe. She nodded and said randomly, “It’s fine once you get used to it.”

Yuan Xi’s cheeks twitched. “Just look at how scary he is. It is going to take a real hero to get used to this!”

The hero was none other than Huo Yao. Huo Yao veered her eyes and glanced at Yuan Xi in disdain.

Min Yu looked in their direction. The moment he did, Yuan Xi instinctively straightened her back and stood with a perfect soldier’s posture.

“He just looked over. I can’t believe he is looking at us,” said Yuan Xi without moving her lips in a stifled tone.

Huo Yao’s lips twitched. Did she have to get so scared with just one look from him?

After Min Yu moved his eyes and stopped casting intimidating looks at them, Yuan Xi finally felt relieved and slumped her shoulders. “Did he hear me talking behind his back? Is that why he was looking over?”

Huo Yao stayed quiet for some time and did not answer Yuan Xi.

The instructor beside them told them to get ready before they started testing their shooting.

Since Yuan Xi had practiced all afternoon and Huo Yao was kind enough to help her, she was almost halfway there with the basics. Hence, she was able to shoot pretty well today.

She scored six points out of ten.

Then came Huo Yao’s turn. Just as she was about to fire, she thought about keeping a low profile and ensured she scored only seven points this time.

Yuan Xi thought Huo Yao was bound to score full marks, so she was very surprised when she saw the final result.

Even the other freshmen in their team were shocked by the result.

Huo Yao put down the gun, stepped back, and disregarded the strange looks on their faces.

“How could you only get seven points? Were you nervous?” asked Yuan Xi automatically as she looked at Huo Yao.

Huo Yao raised her brow and acknowledged Yuan Xi’s words.

Since Huo Yao was wearing her cap low, no one was able to see her face clearly.

Yuan Xi touched her earlobe and said disappointedly, “Sigh. That’s too bad. Considering your performance yesterday, I thought you would get full marks for sure.”
