Chapter 418: Chapter 264: Only children make choices! (Fourth added for alliance leader 1/10)_1

September 25th.

In the morning, Ding Yue arrived at the gymnasium.

In the gymnasium, a large number of freshmen were enthusiastically participating in military training.

"Hello, Principal Ding!"

Upon seeing Principal Ding, the freshmen spontaneously started to shout.

"Hello students, keep up the good training. In a few days, we will have the closing ceremony, and the class that gets the best training award will be rewarded."

Ding Yue waved his hand and spoke to the trainee freshmen.

But in fact, Ding Yue’s visit was not to watch the freshmen’s military training, but to go to the gymnasium.

Inside the gymnasium.

Ding Yue could see a muscular man training fervently from afar, from his boxing pose, it was easy to guess that it was Tai Chi.

That’s right.

It was none other than Sun Chengkang from the National Arts major.

Ever since he challenged the Thai Boxing expert, Zhao Kai, Sun Chengkang had greatly intensified his daily training. As Director Wu Changdao said, Sun Chengkang had always been very diligent in practicing Tai Chi.

Now, after Ding Yue used a [Sports Attribute Card] to add 1 point to his strength attribute, Sun Chengkang started practicing even more intensively.

He had only one goal - to live up to everyone’s expectations and definitely defeat the extremely arrogant Thai Boxing expert, Zhao Kai.

"Principal Ding, why have you come?"

Upon seeing Principal Ding, Sun Chengkang temporarily stopped training and walked towards Principal Ding.

"I came to see how your preparation has been progressing recently. There’s still about half a month left. Do you feel there’s more room for improvement?"

Ding Yue asked with a smile.

Actually, Ding Yue was asking to see if there was any significant improvement in Sun Chengkang after he added 1 point to his strength attribute and trained diligently.

At least the previous person to whom Ding Yue used the [Sports Attribute Card], Yang Chen, made a huge breakthrough and broke the record to become a champion in the National University Sports Games.

"Well, I feel that my strength level has been further improved recently. I think I shouldn’t worry about not matching Zhao Kai in strength!"

Sun Chengkang nodded and answered quite honestly.

Seeing Sun Chengkang’s response, Ding Yue felt relieved. It seemed that the 1 point in strength attribute was effective.

Although 1 point in strength attribute may seem trivial, coupled with Sun Chengkang’s continuous efforts, even something minor could bring about a qualitative change.

"Good! Keep it up!"

Ding Yue extended his hand, gently patted Sun Chengkang’s shoulder and said.

With the encouragement from Principal Ding, Sun Chengkang’s confidence surged.

Because he saw the support from the school students and teachers, saw Principal Ding’s willingness to spend a million yuan supporting him, and saw the ardent hope of netizens who love National Arts.

Given all these, what reasons did he have not to work hard?

The honor and disgrace of National Arts was attached to him, Sun Chengkang understood how heavy the responsibility and burden he bears were.

Such pressure would make Sun Chengkang work even harder!

For the next few days, Ding Yue would become quite busy.

Because the 2021 freshmen of Mist City Arts and Science University were about to finish their military training, and the Military Training Closing Ceremony, which symbolizes the end of the training, was very important.

After all, Ding Yue had to lead the school officials in selecting the best training team of this military training - the Best Training Troop!

The number of people this year has more than doubled compared to last year, so the selection would definitely be more difficult.

In this training, students from all disciplines performed very well. The training instructors even praised to Ding Yue more than once about how excellent the freshmen of Mist City Arts and Science University were doing.

Seeing even the instructors praising the new students, Ding Yue felt that these more than twenty-two thousand students had a promising future!

Since they were so outstanding in military training, after the training, they would become even more excellent under the effect of Ding Yue’s [Academic Overlord Totem]!

September 28th.

Today was the Military Training Closing Ceremony.

As the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue was required to give a speech at the Military Training Mobilization Conference and Closing Ceremony.

"Principal Ding, are you ready?"

The voice of the secretary, Wen Ruohan, came from behind the door of the principal’s office.

"Yes, I’m ready."

Ding Yue, having sorted his suit, walked towards the door.

At this moment, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, both formally dressed in suits, were waiting for Ding Yue in the hallway.

They are also school leaders, and their opinions will be considered when voting for the best military training squadron later.

In addition, there’s Qi Chunsheng, the director of the Academic Affairs Department, Xiong Yang, the director of the Department of Literature and Sport, and all the other department directors.

On the sports ground.

As there’s only one sports ground available, it’s difficult to keep over 20,000 people apart. Therefore, both entrances on the left and right can be perfectly utilized.

Classes that complete the parade will exit from the right, while the queue entering the sports ground from the outside will be on the left. It will then cycle like this, and gather in the sports ground, which should solve the situation.

All these arrangements are made by Xiong Yang, the director of the Department of Literature and Sport.

"Principal Ding, you have arrived."

On the stage, Xiong Yang, the director of the Department of Literature and Sport, greets Principal Ding promptly: "Principal Ding, please take a seat here."

The Student Union has already prepared the seats, the podium and other necessary equipment. As always, the March of the Athletes is playing on the speakers.

This is the second military training closing ceremony. For the freshmen, it’s an important event marking the end of their military training.

Once recalled, they would find the one-month military training quite enjoyable.

For Ding Yue, these freshmen are about to finish their military training and begin their course of study. Over the next few years, some outstanding students might come out from this group, but most of them would lead an ordinary life studying at Mist City Arts and Science University for 4 years before they graduate.

Although graduation from Mist City Arts and Science University is fairly rigorous, most students can easily pass as long as they are willing to study.

At this moment, all the classes of military training are actively preparing.

There are dozens of class phalanxes on the sports ground, and even more outside of it.

With over 22,000 new students this year, there are more than 200 phalanxes, each consisting of about 100 students.

The sports ground is just barely able to fit everyone, standing close to each other.

However, obviously this won’t work during the performance of the military training closing ceremony today. They can’t all stand on the sports ground.

Therefore, according to Xiong Yang, the director of the Department of Literature and Sport, some phalanxes will be arranged inside the stadium, while the others will be placed outside of it. By managing the entrances on the left and right to facilitate the circulation, this arrangement will allow for a smooth parade performance during the closing ceremony.

It’s worth mentioning that.

This year’s military training closing ceremony will not include a large-scale military-style boxing performance.

Instead, the freshmen from the National Arts major will perform martial arts. As a way to support their upperclassman, Sun Chengkang, in his challenge. The National Arts major’s freshmen have made a last-minute application for it. Eventually, after rigorous training, the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies has decided to replace the large-scale military-style boxing performance with a martial arts one.

The preparation for the military training phalanx is almost done.

Ding Yue, in the system’s item bar, has found the long-silent [Physical Fitness Scroll]. This is a tool he received after his accomplishment of tasks in the previous freshmen’s military training. It has the ability to varyingly enhance the physical fitness of new students at Mist City Arts and Science University.

That is to say, after the first year’s military training, the new students have not only improved their physical fitness but will also experience another improvement after Ding Yue uses this [Physical Fitness Scroll].

As to what extent their physical fitness can be improved, it depends upon their individual foundation.

Some might be able to stay up for three nights and days playing games while others might be able to stay awake for ten days reading the novel "Starting From a Fake University." Most importantly, since their physical fitness is improved, they will undoubtedly not suffer from exhaustion.

Accompanied by the "March of the Athletes," the parade has begun.

The one explaining the parade and formation this year is no longer Lin Zhirou, but a beautiful girl among the first-year students.

Her body shape and appearance are as good as Lin Zhirou’s. This year’s commentator for the parade is none other than the school’s beauty with the highest votes, Jiang Yao.

Ding Yue has seen the unedited photos of Jiang Yao, whose real looks are almost the same as her photos. She truly has a natural beauty, without any deception in her photos.

Jiang Yao seems to have a mixed-race air about her, but she’s reportedly not of mixed race. So her unique temperament sets her apart from everyone else.

No wonder she got over 17,000 votes to become the new school beauty!

"Yue, is that Jiang Yao, the new school beauty among the new students? This is my first time seeing her," Huang Youjie whispered into Ding Yue’s ear.

"Yes, that’s her." Ding Yue nodded.

Among all the first-year students, Jiang Yao is perhaps the most popular. After all, her unique beauty really does make her stand out!

"Yue, who do you think is more beautiful, the new school beauty Jiang Yao or last year’s school beauty Lin Zhirou?" Xu Bin also asked out of curiosity.

"Superbeauties like them each have their own distinctive charm, it is really difficult to say who is better." Ding Yue shook his head.

As Ding Yue spoke, he looked at Jiang Yao again. Indeed, she was breathtaking!

The slim figure that didn’t lose any details and that S-curved body line.

"So Yue, if you had to choose between school beauty Lin Zhirou and school beauty Jiang Yao, who would you choose?" Huang Youjie began to chat idly again.

Ding Yue couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Huang Youjie. "Only children make choices!"

"So all adults want them both?"

Xu Bin jumped in to join the conversation.

However, Ding Yue merely shook his head, sighed, and said, "Adults know that trying to have them all is definitely an impossible task."
