Chapter 2351 - 2360: Deputy

Boom! The trainees’ minds exploded!

So Yang Bingbing had once been a student of the Chief Instructor!

No wonder she was so powerful!

If the Chief Instructor hadn’t tricked them!

They could do it too!

"We have confidence!"

The trainees shouted crazily, their eyes blazing with passion!

They seemed to see the day when their strength would greatly increase!

The echoing shouts of the trainees reassured Zhao Muchen that Dragon Head indeed had a way!

Provoked by Yang Bingbing, these young men were as enthusiastic as if they had been injected with adrenaline!

During the moment when the trainees’ morale was at its highest, Qin Yu roared, "Good! To be a soldier is to look the part! We can’t be sheep! We must be wolves! Wolves that eat meat! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the trainees roared again!

Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction. "In my team, I don’t want any wimps, nor cowards! However, I have to say this upfront! My training is different from others!

I will put you through real combat! I will have you undergo trials of life and death! I will make you renowned in the international mercenary world! Of course, you could lose your lives at any moment!

So, you must think carefully! Do you still want to join the Southern Sword? If anyone wants to withdraw, this is your last chance!

Otherwise, once you join Southern Sword, there are only two outcomes: either you graduate successfully, or... you die!"

As Qin Yu’s expression grew more and more stern, by the time he finished, his gaze sliced across the faces of all the trainees like a knife!

"Now! Give me your choice! Those who still choose to join Southern Sword, step forward!"

Swish! Yang Bingbing and Zhou Feng took a decisive step forward without any hesitation!

Seeing the two women step out, the male trainees followed suit and stepped out as well!

"Ten seconds left to choose! Ten! Nine! Eight..."

Although fewer than half of the trainees had stepped forward, Qin Yu counted down very quickly!

He was not afraid that having too few trainees would lead to poor performance!

The trainees who had stepped forward glanced back at those behind them with mocking looks on their faces, clearly conveying that they thought they were cowards!

Yang Bingbing and Zhou Feng didn’t even bother to look back, considering the cowards unworthy of their attention.

Zhao Muchen was very nervous. Damn it, Dragon Head, do you really have to play it this way?

If you recruit too few trainees, you’ll lose all face!

Guo Donglin shook his head gently. Young people are indeed impetuous. Under normal circumstances, less than one in ten Southern Sword trainees are promoted to Dragon Group!

Now with half of the trainees gone, even fewer will be promoted to Dragon Group. Guo Donglin was ready for a good laugh at Qin Yu’s expense.

Unfortunately, what Guo Donglin didn’t expect was that the faster Qin Yu counted, the quicker the trainees stepped forward!

When Qin Yu reached one, all the trainees had stepped forward!

Even Guo Wei struggled to stand up, but try as he might, he just couldn’t!

Guo Wei could only shout out loud.

"Chief Instructor, I also wish to join Southern Sword!"

Qin Yu was satisfied with this outcome. Not bad, as elites, everyone indeed had their own pride.

"Very well! Starting today, you are my soldiers! I will train you with methods as harsh as the devil’s! I hope all of you can become demons on the battlefield!"

"Long live the Chief Instructor!"

"The Chief Instructor is mighty!"

Zhao Muchen’s face showed a relieved expression, it wasn’t in vain that he went to such lengths to invite Qin Yu. Qin Yu indeed proved to be formidable, instantly winning over the trainees.

Qin Yu was a man of action, not one to indulge in long speeches.

"I have said all that needs to be said! I will show my actions, and I hope all of you will demonstrate your determination! Alright, let’s end the induction ceremony here! Let’s begin training!"

Qin Yu’s words left everyone dazed. Damn, the Chief Instructor was awesome, getting into the zone so quickly!

Isn’t it supposed to be wining and dining on the first day of taking office?

"Ahem... Chief Instructor Qin, you haven’t given your inaugural speech yet." Zhao Muchen hurriedly reminded Qin Yu.

"Inaugural speech? Didn’t Commander Guo speak on my behalf?"

Huh? Everyone looked bewildered.

Qin Yu looked sternly at Zhao Muchen and said, "Commander Zhao, Commander Guo said it very well just now. This military uniform represents the trust of the country and the army in me, the mission endowed to me by the country and the army! It’s my honor! I will use my blood and life to uphold this honor!"

"Good! Well said!"

Clap!

Under Zhao Muchen’s lead, the officers burst into applause. The soldiers below were even more excited, their faces flushing with emotion!

Honor!

That’s right, it’s about honor!

What’s the purpose of being a soldier?

Isn’t it for honor?

"The inauguration ceremony is successfully concluded! All members of the Southern Sword Special Brigade, return to your posts!"

As he said this, Qin Yu stared intently at Guo Wei without blinking.

Although Guo Wei’s character wasn’t great, his military capabilities were among the top in this batch of students. With proper guidance, he had a good chance of entering Dragon Group.

"Yes!"

After a brief rest, Guo Wei regained a bit of strength and, struggling, stood up and made his way back into the formation.

"Now, I’ll give you fifteen minutes to get your affairs in order. Guo Wei, a hundred push-ups. You must complete them today, do you understand? Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the Southern Sword Special Brigade!"

"Yes!"

"Dismissed!"

Qin Yu waved his arm grandly and leaped off the podium.

The generals on the podium were dumbfounded; wasn’t this too abrupt? Shouldn’t the inauguration ceremony be the most glorious moment? And now Chief Instructor Qin has wrapped it up just like that?

With a swoosh, the trainees quickly rushed to the dormitory, found their own bunk beds, and began to tidy up their internal affairs!

After what had happened just now, everyone was exceptionally serious.

Soon, all the dormitories had four neat and tidy tofu blocks.

"Chief Instructor Qin, we have prepared a welcome ceremony for you. It’s this way." Zhao Muchen, satisfied with Qin Yu’s performance, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Qin Yu rolled his eyes silently and said with a hint of annoyance, "Commander Zhao, with such a fragile foundation in Southern Sword, how can I be in the mood for anything else? I need to take the time to drill these little scoundrels."

"Er... Chief Instructor Qin, I haven’t yet assigned you a deputy."

"A deputy? I think Zhang Zhaoxing is quite good. Let him be my deputy!"

Qin Yu glanced at Zhang Zhaoxing.

Zhang Zhaoxing, who had keen hearing, twitched at the corners of his mouth upon hearing Qin Yu’s words.

Damn, was Qin Yu settling personal scores?

What should he do?

Just as Zhang Zhaoxing was unsure of what to do, Zhao Muchen beckoned him over, and Zhang Zhaoxing could only reluctantly come forward.

"Commander Zhang, from now on, you will be an instructor of the Southern Sword Special Brigade under Chief Instructor Qin."

"Yes!" Zhang Zhaoxing saluted reluctantly.

"As for the other deputies, let Instructor Zhang pick them. Afterwards, just show them to me for a look," Qin Yu said.

Having said that, Qin Yu turned to leave, leaving the bewildered generals behind him.

Zhao Muchen let out a wry smile, wondering whether inviting Qin Yu had been the right or wrong move.

Why would he choose Zhang Zhaoxing as a deputy when Zhang clearly belonged to Guo Donglin?
