CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 193: THE CLASS MONITOR’S DUTY

After the shooting ended, Ye Xuan ordered each class to be led back by their class leader in a running exercise, creating a short cross-country run. The first three teams to return would receive the floating red banner. The students, having trained all day, howled with determination to emerge as the leading soldiers, indicating that firearms were indeed one of the sources of excitement.

As they ran, Miaomiao’s steps became slower and slower, and large beads of sweat appeared on her face. Eventually, she clutched her stomach and squat down on the ground. Yao Juanjuan almost tripped over her and grumbled discontentedly, "Miaomiao, what are you doing?"

Xing Nong intervened and pushed Yao Juanjuan aside: "Are you even human? Can’t you see she’s having stomach pain?" Saying this, she squatted down and lowered her voice, "Miaomiao, is it a cramp from running or is it your period?" Luoye Yaoguang and Bai Qingchu also stopped and looked at Miaomiao with concern.

"I guess it’s almost that time." Miaomiao grimaced in pain and pushed Xing Nong away, "You guys go ahead, the class leader has run far ahead. I’ll get better after resting for a while."

"How can we leave you here alone?" Luo Ye helped Miaomiao up, "What if you catch a chill? You’ll suffer even more. Let us help you, just hang in there."

"Thank you." Miaomiao was really feeling too uncomfortable, so she stopped rejecting their help and let Luo Ye and Xing Nong support her.

Luo Ye felt Miaomiao’s body shivering increasingly and asked worriedly, "Do you always have such painful periods every month?"

"I have it once every three months, and it lasts for 10 days. The first five days are terribly painful, and then it gets normal for the last five." Miaomiao tried to smile, "It’s fair, I guess. I only have it four times a year, so naturally, I have to suffer a bit more."

"Have you seen a doctor?" Xing Nong asked.

"Yes, I’ve even tried traditional Chinese medicine treatments, but to no avail. My mom said maybe it would get better after I get married." Miaomiao’s voice became somewhat faint.

"Was it as painful as today before?" Seeing Miaomiao’s face turning increasingly pale, Luo Ye was truly worried.

Miaomiao shook her head, "It wasn’t this severe before. The pain today might be because the ground was damp during the shooting."

Xing Nong sighed: "Ah, you should be more careful."

"I can’t predict it perfectly, there’s no way to be careful. This time it came a few days early, probably because we’ve had good food and a lot of exercise lately."

"Poor kid." Xing Nong looked back at Bai Qingchu: "Qingchu, you were just lazing around and didn’t keep up on purpose, right?"

Bai Qingchu pouted, "Am I that kind of person? I was just amazed by Luoluo’s shooting skills and decided to band together with you guys. Don’t push me away!"

"I won’t push you away, but you can’t be fickle either. I really hate those kinds of people."

"Xing Nong, don’t underestimate me!"

Luo Ye thought for a moment and said: "Yaoguang, take Qingchu and catch up with the team ahead to avoid any further complications."

"Are you worried about Female Yama punishing us? No way, she is already defeated, does she still have the face to act fierce?"

"You never know with these things, better safe than sorry. You two go ahead."

"Alright, it just so happens to let Yu Na know about it. Carrying a team member without realizing it, this class leader role really fits well, and Yao Juanjuan too, couldn’t they have said a word to Yu Na?" Yaoguang pulled Bai Qingchu, "Let’s catch up."

Since birth, Yu Na had never faced such setbacks. Her mind was muddled as if in a brawl, unable to notice that five members were missing from the team. Yao Juanjuan originally wanted to tell her, but seeing her melancholic face, swallowed back the words.

At 1/3 of the way, the male students had already darted forward, and the female students, exhausted like dead dogs, failed to notice the loss in Team Three. Hence, this two-person team just kept running towards the school.

Yaoguang and Bai Qingchu reached the school entrance but couldn’t catch up with Yu Na and Yao Juanjuan. The two exchanged helpless glances and ran towards the gathering spot, spotting from afar Yu Na and Yao Juanjuan standing in front of the team. The chief instructor, with a stern expression, was saying something, accompanied by Captain Shang and the gloomy-faced—Female Yama.

"Report!" Both of them ran to the front of the team and stopped.

Laughter erupted from the team. Team Three had really stood out in shooting today, but it turned into a mess while returning.

They respected the strong, but that didn’t mean they respected everyone unanimously. Driven by people’s sordid mentality, seeing a model team mess up like this was quite amusing.

"Yu Na, as a class leader, losing five students without noticing is quite a record-breaker. Alright, two have returned, welcome them back!"
