Chapter 245: Afternoon Delight

It took about twenty minutes in total for the students to pull theather in the training yard

It was a slightly easier time for the wouish their clothes froanized While their hair was messy, they were at least fully clothed, if so themselves

For a dozen or so of them, their clothes had been cast in a pile In thelate – they chaotically ruh the fabric in a desperate search for their own gear In fact, those who got theether in a reasonable ti Xiao, for instance, had si; one on top, and one on botto Xiao had been unable to find his own They were corab any suit So he had to irabbed for a shirt and pants The middle was left bare, and his expansive stomach wobbled in protest as he bounded around

But as comical and pitiful as he appeared, the other students weren’t any better off Those with average builds were lucky, and they just grabbed whatever was lying around to cover themselves appropriately Some of the slower students, they were dismayed to discover, ended up with no clothes at all They had to settle with picking up whoevers’ underwear they couldout to the field

They were a pathetic sight, as they sturoaning Residual tics and jerks still plagued a few

Hua Li, Lan Jue and Chu Cheng aiting in their golden masks They stood in the center of the field, silent as the students desperately gathered

Seeing the Lan Jue had to keep his severe countenance in place and not burst in to laughter

Tan Lingyun lead the girls in to position, all the way glaring daggers at Lan Jue She snapped to attention “Drill all our female students in attendance”

“Line up,” was all Lan Jue would say

TheHongyuan His figure was one of the lucky fehere he was able to siht suit that served its purpose When he reported in, his tone was gruff and e at the ground The silver mask, however, retained its stoic expression

It was an is considered They were all here, not one tardy student

Lan Jue’s soft voice greeted the people”

Silence greeted his words Even the groaning stopped Who would dare single themselves out before this s thisto understand why the Drillmaster had chosen to call himself the Prince of Devils It was a nickna adepts, none of the students could iine they would have to suffer such torment And that’s precisely what it was – tor?!

“Do you see yourselves? Like a routed arht you’d drop everything and run like cowards” Lan Jue addressed theatory and disappointed

“Director Wu assured est andI’m already doubtful there’s a decent pilot in the lot of you Today’s class is going to teach you two things: First, I require absolute obedience in all things Anyone who dares violate this rule, I have methods that’ll push the limits of what humans can endure Second, you all are a team As a team you will suffer as your team mates suffer You will face the same trials and difficulties These people around you, they’re your compatriots Brothers and sisters in arms Remember this when you make a decision, for it affects every person here I don’t care whoour two assistants – will suffer the consequences”

“This et yourselves tidied up, shower, eat and rest Meet back here when your hour’s up You can be late… honestly” The last feords were delivered with sincerity, the Prince of Devil’s intonation free and easy But the gathered students weren’t fooled They felt that chill running up their spine, heard the ominous wind at their backs No one said a word

“I’ll finish with a reminder,” Lan Jue went on “Those needles are to be left where they are Anyone who removed theirs, will be stabbed twice Dis further

Once the three deht, the students were finally able to relax Soround Those of weaker mental constitution openly wept

Very vocal complaints filled the air from all directions
