"I know that. Actually, Tianjing's standard isn't as bad as it seems. It's mainly because the other cities have improved too quickly." Grace rolled her eyes at him. "I didn't bring them here to enjoy themselves. Just go and prepare some delicious food for your juniors!"
Aldrich laughed heartily. "Don't worry about that. Dinner has already been prepared. It's standard. I guarantee they'll never forget it!"
This level of physical training wasn't too exaggerated. This group of people were shouting like bears, but they were still chasing each other after starting. If they didn't even have the desire to perform, then there really wouldn't be any hope.
The first to finish was Reeves, followed by Emily, Scarlet, Lily, Hymin, and Grai. These were the representatives of Tianjing Academy. Surprisingly, Wang Zhong was also at the front of the group.
No one wanted to lose face in front of Grace, and no one wanted to be the last. In the end, they really did go all out.
Teacher Grace looked at the time. It was eight in the evening. The slowest person, Barran, had finally finished his run.
Barran wasn't too tired. His body was very strong, but he wasn't as fast as others. Every movement was done to the standard. Quite a few people were doing push-ups for the sake of speed. There was a huge difference between a standard push-up and a standard push-up.
Grace's mouth curled into a slight smile. She wouldn't repeat the general principles again. "Let's stop here for today. Also, hand over all the food you brought. We'll arrange for food and lodging during this training period. We won't let you lack nutrition."
Immediately, five soldiers came forward to collect the food. "No one is allowed to hide. If they do, they'll be punished for violating the rules!"
No one thought too much about it. No one was lacking food. Although there wasn't anything delicious here, eating until they were full would definitely not be a problem.
"Follow me to the canteen!"
"Wang Zhong, I couldn't tell, but your physical strength is pretty good!" Scarlet said with a smile. Although she was a ranged soldier, she had a very systematic training in this area.
"That's for sure. Brother Wang Zhong isn't like those embroidered pillows!" Emily said. Ma Dong also explained about Scarlet and Milami's help. Emily didn't feel good about picking on Scarlet, but this lass's heart was still quite heavy.
Scarlet and Milami naturally wouldn't bicker with her. She was just a little girl with a true temperament.
"Teacher Grace, what are we eating?" In front of them, Terrence was already shouting loudly. Completing today's training wasn't that difficult, at least it gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Grace had a smile on her face the entire time. "Thank Second Lieutenant Aldrich properly. He specially prepared this for you. It's definitely a delicacy you've never tasted before."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Wasn't there a Heroic Soul Stage soldier who wasn't a foodie? What could that be? How mysterious! I'm really looking forward to it!
"My mouth's pretty sharp …" Hymin's beautiful deep blue eyes sparkled with radiance.
Could it be that there was wild game to eat?
A few minutes later, the spacious cafeteria was quiet. Everyone was sitting in their seats with veins and black lines on their foreheads.
In front of everyone's table were two large bowls filled with 'food' … if that could be considered as food.
What he was eating was definitely not rice, but terror!
The first basin was filled with fresh meat dripping with blood. It was really fresh! It was still dripping with blood. What was even more terrifying was the shape of the meat. It was small in size, slender in tail, and pointed in nose … this was a basin of skinned mutated rats!
But if one dared to look at the second basin, the rat meat wouldn't count for much. It was a large basin of worms, and they were alive! They were as thick as an arm and were wriggling around in the basin like maggots …
This was our dinner?!
After looking forward to it for so long, the so-called special treatment and never-before-tasted delicacies were all this?!
Did they bring it to the wrong place?
Everyone felt their scalps go numb. The girls had goosebumps all over their bodies. Even Emily, who was usually carefree, was unable to endure it.
"Rot Devouring Rats and mutated worms are rich in protein. Furthermore, they are the most commonly seen creatures in the wilderness. You can find them anywhere. Learning how to eat them is very important. In the future, it might save your life in special circumstances," Teacher Grace said with a smile. Teacher Grace smiled and said, "However, considering that today is the first day, I'll give the students a special treatment. You can pick one for yourselves."
Choose … how to choose? Choose the worms or the rats?
Don't even mention stuffing those disgusting things into your mouth. Just thinking about it was enough.
"Cough cough …" Hymin was the first to be unable to hold it in. This was even more terrifying than getting carsick in the afternoon. The food in her throat was about to spurt out. "Teacher, I, I'm suddenly not hungry anymore. Then, can I go back to the dormitory first?"
"Teacher, I actually cheated during the laps just now. I still have five laps left. I, I'll go back first to make up for it!" Terrence also wanted to slip away.
"Sure," Grace said with a beaming smile as she looked at everyone. "If you don't want to eat, I won't force you. If you want to leave, feel free to do so."
"Oh yeah!" Terrence jumped up. He simply didn't want to stay here a second longer.
"But don't blame me for not reminding you," Grace said in a leisurely manner. "If you don't want to eat, I won't change the menu for you in the next month. You won't find any other food here either. Some things are just a matter of time."
At this moment, when everyone saw Grace's relaxed smile, they could no longer relax. This time's group training seemed to be completely different from what they had imagined.
One month …
Terrence stopped jumping, and the surroundings became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
At this time, if they still didn't understand Grace's character, then they would be too stupid. They looked around the canteen, at the armed soldiers, and at the mocking expressions on their faces. They had never felt so terrible before.
Everyone forced themselves to turn their gazes back to the basin …
Ugh! Fuck, but how are we supposed to eat this!
"Hu …"
Amidst the silence, Barran began to move.
Glaring, he picked up a Rot Devouring Rat from the basin.
Barran was very clear on how he had managed to sneak in here. His strength was the weakest, and he couldn't even eat. That was why he didn't deserve to stay here.
To others, this group training might only be a form of honor. However, to him, it was too important.
He fiercely bit down, and his nerve reflexes caused his long tail to straighten up. There was a faint squeaking sound coming from his mouth, and everyone who heard it had goosebumps.
Munch munch munch munch.
"It's pretty fresh." Barran smacked his lips and thought for a moment. "It doesn't look like it's completely dead. It just scratched my mouth …"
The thing in the basin was much better than the mutated rats he had caught in the slums. Not only was it fat and big, even the dirtiest part of its skin had been peeled off. There weren't any messy things growing on its body. Why couldn't it be eaten?
It had been a long time since he had eaten this thing. It was just as his teacher had said; it was extremely nutritious for new humans and could nourish their soul power.
Ugh!
Out of the 30 people, at least 20 immediately vomited.
"Fuck, Barran, just eat your food. Can you shut your mouth?!"
"Just kill me, boss!"
"Save me! Even if you beat me to death, I won't eat this! Wu wu wu wu! "
