Chapter 276: Chapter 269: The Instructor’s Show of Authority

Professor Zhong Jian Country’s efficiency in handling affairs was indeed very fast; he quickly took care of a series of issues including Bai Yan’s registration process.

As for the two girls, perhaps because of Bai Yan’s influence, they were personally taken by Professor Zhong to the reception office of the Economic College to handle their procedures.

And Bai Yan stood by the reception area waiting.

Bai Yan leaned relaxedly against a pillar, watching the bustling crowd and the somewhat youthful faces... This is Mo City University.

It is worth mentioning that when Bai Yan was previously handling his procedures, he once again caused quite a stir at the reception office.

The surrounding students all knew that the man leaning against the pillar was the legendary genius exchange student Bai Yan.

"Is that Bai Yan? He doesn’t look anything special!"

"He is quite handsome though!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, he’s the overseas Chinese who’s nominated for the ’Global Outstanding Students’ award! A genius academic prodigy!"

"Yeah, when he was in Mo City, he was personally praised by the Governor and a commendation letter was even sent to the embassy!"

Many of the freshmen in the hall were extremely curious and kept glancing over here. Generally, those who are more internet-savvy hold great admiration for Bai Yan’s "heroic deeds" in Mo City. Although they had only heard the name and not seen the person, this mystery added an unspoken charm.

He is the one who personally received praise at Mo City University from the Mayor of Mo City; he is the one who had the Rock State Governor writing to the embassy on his behalf; he is the one for whom the whole student body of Hua Xia international students in Mo City would shout and cheer crazily; he is the only overseas Chinese in recent years to be nominated for the "Global Outstanding Students" selection.

It can be said that because of Bai Yan’s presence, Mo City University, as one of the top ten universities, has instantly surpassed the other nine in combined search results and skyrocketed to the top of the list, with the number of applicants also dramatically increasing, thereby significantly boosting Mo City University’s visibility.

Faced with curious, envious, or skeptical glances from all around, Bai Yan smiled helplessly.

He probably needed to put in some effort if he wanted to enjoy a "peaceful" exchange student life in college.

Because Bai Yan’s arrival was itself a significant news event.

After a while, Professor Zhong returned with the two women.

"Little Bai Yan, it’s still early. How about I treat you all to a meal?"

Professor Zhong said to Bai Yan with a pleasant smile.

The veteran students around them all raised their heads in surprise, looking at Bai Yan and Professor Zhong. Since when had the notoriously strict Professor Zhong been so amiable with anyone?

"Let’s not, it’s the beginning of the semester, I wouldn’t want to trouble you, Professor Zhong. Once you’ve gotten through this busy period, I’ll treat you to a meal!"

Bai Yan said cheerfully, "No matter what, I am your student. I can’t let you spend money unnecessarily."

Within Mo City University, the Literature College is the most prestigious of the 22 colleges, and Professor Zhong Jian Country is not only the head of academic guidance within the Literature College, but he also serves as the dean!

Theoretically, all students in the Literature College are his students.

"Very good! Sensible!"

Professor Zhong laughed heartily, greatly pleased. The more he looked at Bai Yan, the more he liked him.

"Then you guys go back first. Remember to come early for the military training at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning!"

Professor Zhong smiled and instructed, "At that time, the class counselors will arrange everything. Just stand in formation according to your class and you’ll be fine!"

"We have to participate in military training too?"

Bai Yan was surprised. Wasn’t this a mandatory course for first-year freshmen? Both he and the two girls were no longer first-year students, so why would they need to participate in military training?

"This is a decision made by the school’s board of directors. It’s to help you better integrate into school life, to participate in military training along with other exchange students as well as new students."

Professor Zhong explained cheerfully, "I heard that you also participated in military training when you were at Mo City University, right? Attending one more time won’t hurt; consider it a physical workout."

According to the rules of Mo City University, after the new students have completed their registration, they have a month-long period of military training. Not only can military training help new students better integrate into campus life, but it also provides an initial opportunity for teachers and students to get to know each other before the formal start of university life.

At the same time, to better integrate exchange students and transfer students into the Mo City University community, they also need to participate in military training, no matter what year they are in.

"This..."

Bai Yan shook his head with a wry smile and agreed.

"Professor Zhong, we’ll be heading off now."

"Thank you, Professor Zhong."

An Xiaowan and Chen Jing, the two girls, were docile and polite. Professor Zhong sent the three of them out of the school with a cheerful smile.

The three of them got into the car and drove back to the villa.

In the evening, Bai Yan drove to pick up President An from work, and life seemed to return to its original orbit.

At dinner time, President An inquired about the enrollment situation of the three of them. She was like a head of the family, deeply concerned about her younger sister’s education.

"Sister, can I skip military training tomorrow~"

An Xiaowan timidly spoke, her innocent eyes looking at An Yan, "Sister, you know the new president of Hua Xia University. Can’t you just let her exempt Jingjing and me from military training..."

An Xiaowan and Chen Jing could smoothly enter the university not only because An Yan had provided considerable funding for Hua Xia University but also because the new president, who had recently taken office, had always had a good private relationship with the An Family.

"No, military training is only good for you, not bad! Your body is so frail, a bit of training will do you good!"

President An furrowed her brow; while the president of Hua Xia University had a good relationship with the An Family, it wasn’t an excuse for An Yan to indulge Xiao Wan.

Allowing An Xiaowan to enter the university early was already the biggest concession from An Yan.

"Sister~"

"There’s no room for negotiation on this! You already skipped military training when you were at HZ University!"

"Oh."

An Xiaowan pursed her lips, her watery large eyes turning towards Bai Yan.

Bai Yan laughed and reached out to touch An Xiaowan’s hair, "It’s just military training, the intensity won’t be too harsh. Take it as a chance to exercise."

"Mhm."

An Xiaowan smiled sweetly. As long as Bai Yan was with her, even military training would not seem too unbearable.

...

Early the next morning.

Bai Yan drove both women to Hua Xia University for the university’s military training rally.

Unfortunately, Bai Yan’s villa was quite far from Hua Xia University, and coupled with the morning rush hour traffic, by the time the three of them arrived at the school, the military training rally had already finished, and they were clearly late.

The training ground was filled with military training teams. The instructors brought in by Hua Xia University were upper-classmen from a military academy, not active-duty regular soldiers. Each instructor led a group of about fifty students, with male and female teams separated by gender.

After all, it was just a military training, and there was no need to bother regular active-duty soldiers to serve as instructors. Hua Xia University didn’t want overly strict military training to alienate the freshmen towards the university.

Due to being late, the three of them missed the previous rally and had to find their teams with the help of class advisors.

Perhaps because they were girls, the two women were spared punishment by the instructors and were merely verbally reprimanded before being approved to join their group.

On the other hand, Bai Yan’s treatment in the military training team was much less favorable.

"Hua Xia Language and Literature department, class 23, student Bai Yan reporting!"

Under the signaling gaze of the advisor, Bai Yan somewhat helplessly stood next to the military training lineup and shouted.

"Is that Bai Yan? How come he is late!"

"Tsk, he’s in for it now. I heard this batch of instructors are really temperamental!"

"That may not be the case. He is an overseas-educated scholar, after all. Even if he’s late for military training, he might not be punished!"

"Yeah, it’s quite normal to be late on the first day of military training. A lot of people were late today and didn’t get punished! It’s not like they’re familiar with their classes yet!"

The boys within the military training teams were chattering. Bai Yan’s major was quite niche, so the team was mostly a mix of male students from the Hua Xia Language and Literature department and other departments of Literature College, including international students and freshmen.

"Quiet down! When standing at attention, stay properly at attention!"

A male instructor suddenly shouted from the front of the team, his expression stern: "Chin up, chest out, stomach in! If I see anyone move, come out and give me fifty push-ups!"

The boys in the lineup turned as quiet as cicadas in winter, not daring to discuss further and stood properly at attention, eyes to the front.

The instructor slowly paced in front of the lineup, his eyes scanning each boy standing at attention. He ignored Bai Yan, who was standing to the side, as if he was merely a puff of air.

Bai Yan was ostracized by the instructor, standing alone to the side.

Everyone saw Bai Yan’s arrival, and Bai Yan reported his class and major aloud, but the instructor seemed indifferent as if he hadn’t heard Bai Yan’s words at all.

Is this a punishment?

Or is it an attempt to humble me?

Bai Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curling into a mysterious smile.
