Chapter 68
The fact that Sophia had managed to lead Company 49 to a meal with meat in it quickly spread across
the entire barrack. Most of thepanies started following in their footsteps as they grouped together
and took action. They started using skateboards to buy themselves time and started swimming—just like
what Sophia had done.
In order tond themselves a meaty meal, they had to strive for it. These noble children did not think that
they would have to get themselves covered in mud just to have some meat in their meals. All the drill
instructors seemed to have ignored the students’ behavior.
No one knew if they were being supportive or against their actions as they had not made anyments
about it. Nevertheless, they did not stop them. Thus, Sophia assumed that they had agreed to it.
Without a doubt, she had a spy by her side who easily went undercover inside the enemies’ base.
Whenever she was unclear about the instructor’s orders, she would let her spy go undercover.
Since Nathan was a legend who had his own ways ofing and going around the barracks, Sophia
used him like a plug-in cheat as he could easily acquire insider news in a brief amount of time.
“Themanders from the otherpanies will certainly admire Commander Ford for having a batch of
intellectual students. Unlike the others, they are all self-righteous idiots!”
After Nathan had gone out to acquire more inside news, he came back and announced this in front of the
30 other girls who were in the dorm.
The crowd was stunned. They did not expect the othermanders to have such good remarks for
them. Everyone was exhrated before they gave Nathan hugs one after another. It was great having
Nathan!
Nheless, they werepletely unaware of Nathan’s background. Most of them thought that none of
themanders had noticed him when they were chattering because Nathan was just a little boy. Much
to their surprise, Nathan was a really intelligent boy whenever he came back with all the secret
information.
While most of the girls were still going on in excitement, Nathan dropped another piece of
groundbreaking news. “Themanding general has been paying close attention to Company 49. He’s
said that your performance is outstanding, but he’s worried that it wouldn’t persist for long.”
“Oh my God. Even themanding general is following us closely!” the girls eximed in utter disbelief.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
“Are you telling the truth, Nate? Even the eldest Young Master of the Fletcher Family is paying close
attention to us?”
“I feel very blessed. Even themanding general has been looking at me the whole day!”
Nathan nodded with a straight face. “Themanding general even mentioned that the barracks would
select the three bestpanies each year where everyone would receive a prize.
This time, if the 49th Company is awarded with the award, he will have dinner together with all the
students from thepany.”
Dinner together! Immediately, everyone started cheering joyfully. It would definitely be a great blessing if
they could have dinner together with themanding general!
The bunch of girls were on cloud nine. At that moment, they were charged with boundless motivation.
Nathan looked at most of the girls who were very excited, and he thought to himself in his mind, They
sure are easy to fool! Nathan was not excited at all. In fact, he wanted tough at them.
Just then, Sophia called for everyone. “Alright, guys. That’s enough cheering about. Among the several
hundreds ofpanies, only threepanies will be awarded the prize; it won’t necessarily be us.
If we really want to have dinner together with themanding general, we shall all do our best! The
internal affairs should be checked thoroughly. Since we had several points deducted from us a few days
ago, we shouldn’t make any more mistakes.
Therefore, we ought to unite and we will be stronger together as one! If we don’t work hard enough, how
are we supposed to defeat the otherpanies and win the chance of having dinner together with the
commanding general?”
Joel did pay more attention toward the 49th Company. Nheless, the remaining words were just
nonsense that Sophia had told Nathan to say. However, the effects of the bluff proved to be
extraordinary; those words had amped up the girls’ motivation.
That night, they learned how to fold their quilts voluntarily. Soon enough, they’d be able to fold up their
quilts into perfect cubes in order to score the highest for internal affairs. They wanted themanding
general to notice them!
Sophia twitched her lips after seeing the enthusiasm of those girls. Joel is indeed famous among the girls
—he’s simply more sought-after than meat.
Was it because he was the youngest Senior Colonel across the entire Cethos; his identity as the Young
Master of the Fletcher Family; or the fact that he was exceptionally tall and handsome?
What was so great about him? Sophia’s husband—the pervert—had a vi situated just outside the
Forbidden City; he had a height of 1.9 meters; and the amount of money he had wasparable to the
number of fleas on a beggar.
If they were put side to side, Michael still looked better than Joel. Well, at least he was her husband.
Moreover, Sophia did not like Joel that much for some unknown reason. To her, he seemed to be
insidious and dark.
True enough, there was an insider among the 49th Company. News about themanding general
awarding the bestpany with a dinner had spread across the entire barrack not long after Nathan’s
bluff!
Moreover, some had even added to that saying—whoever scored the top three highest points would
stand the chance to have dinner with Joel, male or female regardless!
Sophia waspletely clueless. In just one day, everyone was aware of the nonsense that she had
made up. Whether it was the girls or the boys, they were all extremely excited all of a sudden.
Almost none of the girls in the barracks disliked Joel; they had nearly gone mad just by thinking about
the chance of dining with him. Unfortunately, they were not able to pull a few strings. Now that they all
had an opportunity before them, they wanted to fight for it.
As for the boys, they would first have dinner with Joel before cozying up to him in order to expand their
socialwork. After all, Joel Fletcher might even be gay!
Joel was over 30 years old, but he was still an unmarried man; he had never opened up about dating
somebody as well. Even though he had his fair share of love affairs, he never once admitted to any one
of them either. Perhaps he was really gay!
This piece of gossip initially floated between the students; well-informed students kept it a secret, but it
quickly became an open secret to the publicter on.
In the end, an insensitive student had asked apanymander about it. Thepanymander
had then reported it to the battalionmanders, and it was reported to the regimentalmanders
before it reached Joel’s ears.
Soon enough, the regimentalmanders passed back down the news to its descendingmanders,
and the respectivemanders finally responded to countless students who had been long waiting for
the news.
“Themanding general said that only the best team can have dinner with him. The best individual
among the entire barrack can dine with him alone, and even add him as a friend on Instagram.”
Apart from having dinner with him, they could even add him on Instagram?! The entire training field was
covered in cheers. On the other hand, Sophia was dumbfounded.
She had only wanted to help those damsels in distress, but how did it actuallye true?! What if she
was the one who scored full marks? Would she have to have dinner alone with Joel? That wouldn’t be
great at all! He was Michael’s brother! It all seemed too weird.
The students started working harder than they used to just because of what Joel had said. There were
less indolent students, and the 49th Company became even more diligent than they used to be as well.
Nheless, students did not necessarily score high marks for their diligence. Most of the students were
hardworking, but they did not have impressive scores—that was because there were hidden demerit
points in military training whichpanymanders deliberately hid from the students.
Once a student entered the barracks to join military training, they ought to act like a real soldier. Whoever
failed to do so would get their marks deducted.
Sophia had been taking advantage of the opportunity she had while redressing her wound to sneak into
theputer room. She had video calls with Michael in order to know more about the hidden demerit
points in military training.
“Chica, remember to wake up at seven o’clock sharp in the morning. You have to clock in at the cafeteria
before seven thirty to get your breakfast. Whoever doesn’t get their breakfast on time will get their points
deducted for sleeping in. You must take your nap in the afternoon.
If you’re found wandering around during nap time, you’ll get your points deducted every time the
commanders see you. Also, you have to obey all the rules and regtions in the barracks—don’t
question me why.
All of you are soldiers now, so it’s your duty to obey all the orders. Even if thepanymanders
have ordered you to eat sh*t, you have to finish it up before you even ask why.”
