The Ger Is A Part Timer [BL]

~ 33 ~

A reliable team?

Trading fleeting glances at each other and at Bryce's face, the staff members couldn't help but realize, 'Oh, that team'.

A week later, during the early morning—when the cold air could freeze the nostrils—the sound of an air horn echoed along the hallways of the combat department's dorms.

Against their wishes, all the doors in third dorm automatically opened, allowing the sound to permeate even louder within the individual rooms.

Yu Yan buried his head underneath his pink pillow with purple comet patterns. In his room, there trinkets and teddy bears that were given by his pirate uncles. His notes and gadgets were sprawled on his long wall-lengthed table messily but with distinctive order as if they had their own sections.

He had done some advanced reading in his medicine course last night, playing the audio version of the book as he conducted a quality review of the code that his Uncle Feng Xuo had sent him.

"Wake up, soldiers! Get ready to start the day's training!"

The drill instructor made early rounds among the hallways just to shout at the slumbering students as if to imbue them with trauma.

"You're all training to be soldiers someday, so I will treat you like soldiers. Get up and ready right now!"

The hallway speakers connected to his terminal faithfully repeated his exact words:

"Your class starts now! Assemble in the field in 10 minutes. Those who arrive later than I do will be rewarded 20 damn laps!"

Hearing this, nearly everyone in room 4444 immediately open their eyes and jump to their feet change clothes.

Getting up so early in the morning wasn't exactly appealing, however, this had already become a common occurrence. So although Yu Yan begrudgingly sat up, flipping the matching pink with purple comet bed sheet and quilt with fluid action, his body's reaction was fast and automatic.

In a handful of seconds, the bed was already made. When the cabinet door was slid open, two stark colored sets of clothes were lined side by side-on the right was a variation of patterned pink pajamas full of sunshine, and on the left was all his black outdoor clothes and his dark camouflage uniforms filled with the tears of his future enemies.

It was already the second week of classes and one of the basic things that was taught was how to do things quickly.

Sleep fast. Eat quickly. And dress up in lightning speed.

At instances like this, it was their misfortune to live at the 44th floor on the near end 44th dorm room. They were the farthest from even the nearest lift.

However, everyone was undeterred. They had formed their routine and route as early as the second day of drills.

Yu Yan finished brushing his teeth in seconds, tossing his toothbrush back on the empty cup without even looking. He ran out of his room in uniform, he caught sight of Fernis pushing Chen WangZhi before jumping off the balcony himself.

They had installed a zip line or two down a nearby tall tree. Fernis and Gazef made the V-shaped metal bars that had conventional friction breaks. The metal cable was thin but strong, made from fortitium; a metal typically used in ship construction. Yu Yan didn't know how Chen WangZhi was able to get it.

Yu Yan looked around for the metal bar only to have it be placed in front of him. He smiled and grabbed it, already knowing who was beside him without looking.

"Race you?" Gazef raised his eyebrow.

Yu Yan smiled.

"You're on—" Gazef had stormed off and jumped off the balcony just as he finished responding.

Yu Yan quickly ran to keep up. Although he was slightly behind, he used his skills to jump on the balcony ledge and use it as a spring board to jump farther off the balcony than Gazef through a forward roll. The wind blew the bangs he could not fit into his hair bun. As he approached the zip line, he hooked the bar and used the momentum to zip down faster.

The zip line wasn't obvious because the line was thin and unless you knew it was there, it was hard to see. Although Yu Yan doubted that the teachers didn't know about it, he assumed that they were turning a blind eye to it. Why? He unsure. Perhaps as long as it works and they follow through with their tasks and results, the instructors don't care about the process.

(A/N: They don't care the same way college professors don't really care even if you wear your pajamas to their class. You could wear a dinosaur costume and they would even laugh about it. Also, I imagine these combat instructors have had wilder children before too lol maybe a boy with a name that starts with a Q >.>)

Once they landed, they sprinted towards their platoon assignment. Jogging, Chen WangZhi and Fernis lagged behind them for only a few minutes.

Yu Yan smirked in triumph at Gazef, "I'm obviously first."

Gazef didn't answer but he had a smile playing on his lips. His Yu Yan was as dazzling as ever. Even in the mornings. He eyed the cute curl of bed hair that won't simply follow the other strands of Yu Yan's hear.

"Okay", Gazef spoke softly as if he wasn't aware of his own tone and reaction. He was busy trying to flatten the naughty curl of hair on Yu Yan's head.

Badump—

Yu Yan quickly averted his eyes to the front and adopted an at-ease stance. The feeling of that warm big hand on his head made his heart. Was this man trying to pay back his teasing one by one like this?

He won't lose! Must return with double!

(A/N: "加倍奉还" (Jiābèi fènghuán) - is "return with double" or "repay in double." It conveys the idea of repaying someone with added interest or effort.)

Some students had just arrived. Everyone was tired. The lift took forever due to the crowd so most of them ran down the stairs. And now they were all tired even before

At first, some would do a double take when they found that there were already people lined up even before the first people to use the elevator. Even the people who jumped the building would probably not be as fast as them, they thought.

A week later, nobody cared anymore-they were too tired and the instructors were too merciless!
