“Darling, what did you say?” Sophia asked immediately. Nathan didn’t answer as he ran faster ahead of her. Sophia was completely lost. Did he want me to fight? Reaching the training field, Sophia saw many people assembled there.
At one glance, there were approximately 20 to 30 people; most of them were men with an average height more than 1.85 meters. Standing next to them, she was like a little duck.
Nathan tagged along just so that he could keep an eye on her and save her from being bullied. He whispered in her ear, “Most of the new recruits here are from the few prestigious families, and some are students with outstanding performances. Be smart.”
Sophia nodded upon realizing the aura of this group of people was quite different. The men were taller and bigger, while the girls were fitter.
He towered over her by a head, and he was looking down at her, hand outstretched. “Sophia Edwards, School of Economics and Business Administration, Faculty of Law.” The young man replied, “Stanley Fletcher, School of Computer Science, Game Design Department.” Sophia was shocked upon hearing that.
Seeing that the two of them were about to shake hands, Nathan suddenly came between them and slapped Stanley’s hand away before ordering angrily, “Don’t touch her!” Sophia’s hand was outstretched, and she awkwardly let it fall. Stanley, on the other hand, seemed to know Nathan very well.
He squatted down to pet Nathan’s face and said, “Oh, if it isn’t Nate!” Nathan knocked his hand away angrily and tried to break free, but it was too late. A dozen sturdy men surrounded Nathan; everyone was very familiar with him.
“Oh! It’s been years; look at how you’ve grown!”
“Come here, let me give you a hug!”
“I carried you when you were younger, and you even peed on my leg!” laughed another.
Nathan was so popular among these people that everyone carried him around and played with him for most of the day. It was only after the seven o’clock bell that they began to disperse and get ready for their night training.
Superb Company was personally trained by Joel Fletcher, who emerged with a dark expression on his face, making everyone stand at attention, backs ramrod straight.
Sophia stood at the very back, trying to stand properly, while Nathan sat playing at the side, looking over from time to time, as though afraid that Sophia would be bullied.
Joel came in and looked at those standing in front of him. They were all elites that have been chosen to join as this year’s freshmen. The children of the Fletcher family were natural-born soldiers, and the rest were students who performed outstandingly in their military training, with scores above 90 points.
These were the students that made up the Superb Company. Not to mention, the military training must be hard enough to match the prestige of their training company.
Joel Fletcher then began, “You all are the best among ordinary students, but to me, you are nothing more than rubbish! If you want to prove to me otherwise, then show me what you’re made of! Turn left, as per the old rules, two kilometers!” But we’ve barely just begun!
Sophia was shocked, but the team had started to run, and she could only grit her teeth and keep up. Fortunately for her, she had been training on her own, but even then, she was barely able to keep up for the two kilometers.
