Chapter 142
The so–called rest area was the grassy area next to the field.
Lawrence led the students there, and they sat down on the ground. They began to introduce themselves.
one by one
During high school, Carlisle enjoyed sports a lot. He often went for morning jogs. His physical condition
back then was quite optimal.
However, when he reached the tenth lap currently, he started to lose his breath. He stopped and panted
heavily with his hands on his knees.
Lawrence was the devil instructor, after all. Carlisle wondered if his legs would be fine after nine miles.
“Why’d you stop? Every time you stop, I’ll add an extra lap!” Lawrence shouted loudly at Carlisle.
Carlisle took a few quick breaths and resumed running.
By the time the students finished their self–introductions, Carlisle had already completed 20 laps.
He stopped again. He was gasping for air so badly that he felt like his heart would stop beating.
“Keep running! There are 16 laps left!” Lawrence shouted sternly at him.
With a dry throat and a hoarse voice, Carlisle requested loudly, “Permission to drink water, sir!”
Lawrence replied loudly, “This is punishment, not training. No water for you until you complete running!”
At that moment, he seemed like the strictest instructor of all time.
All the students could feel their necks tightened. They made up their mind not to be late during military
training no matter what the circumstances were.
Christine, who was sitting next to Wanda, stood up and spoke, “Permission to go to the restroom, sir!”
Lawrence nodded. “Permission granted!”
Christine walked toward the restroom. When she was halfway there, she suddenly turned and walked
toward the convenience store.
The sun was glaring at that time. Carlisle had already completed 28 laps. His uniform was entirely soaked
with sweat.
He felt dizzy. His vision became blurred, his ears were ringing, and his chest was tight–signs of severe dehydration.
Carlisle stopped and sat down weakly on the ground.
Seeing that Carlisle had reached his limit, Lawrence didn’t push him anymore.
Meanwhile, Christine approached him with a bottle of water. “Here, drink some water.”
Carlisle looked at Christine and then at the bottle in her hand. He hesitated.
“Wanda asked me to buy it for you. She even paid me for the delivery fee.”
Christine placed the bottle of water on the ground before leaving.
She guessed that there was some issue between Wanda and Carlisle. It wasn’t about their relationship but something else.
Wanda seemed to be avoiding him, which was why she had asked Christine to buy water for Carlisle.
After Wanda was transferred to Class 2 yesterday, Christine began to doubt whether her chance had.
come.
However, Carlisle hesitated to accept the water she offered just now, which showed that he was worried about Wanda getting jealous.
Though they were not in the same class, their feelings for each other remained. Christine had decided to give up on him.
