Chapter 11:

Close call

So What If I'm a Girl



When they arrived outside of the class, lan Du pushed opened the door and walked in with the Xie sisters behind her.They both had a red face but no on knew why, but when their gazes landed on lan Du, they knew the possible reason.


Lan Du was giggling to herself about what has happened this morning, the shock and embarrassment were priceless and irreplaceable memories for her.


Lan Du took a seat in the middle of the classroom with Xie Ying on his left and Xie Jing on her right, making the other boys green with envy.


Qui Shan leaned in from behind and asked


"What did you do to them both?Their faces are so red"he asked out of curiosity


Lan Du grinned and replied


"They're just a bit shy"she said as she glanced at them, their faces were still piping hot from this morning's conversation.


Qui Shan nodded, he somewhat had a rough idea about what Lan Du has done to them, knowing the playboy in front, Lan DU probably teased them some odd way.


Instructor Lu walked into the classroom and said:


"Today we will be going through the basics of being in the main army!You must be physically trained till you are strong enough to go to war without collapsing, your mental state needs to be strong and healthy, lastly, you will be trained to operate battle suits and mechs once you reach the minimum requirements"He said sternly, his facial expression was stoic and showed no signs of relaxing.


The class all listened attentively to him as these were necessary information for their future paths.


"Being in the main army means that rules are like laws!if not, you will be sent away immediately, lest you distract your peers!"He said as he held out a small metallic object.


The object was round and had a blue circle on the centre.The blue circle glowed and a holographic image appeared.It floated up and enlarged so everyone could see.


"You will be given a copy of the rules as such on your bracelets, losing the bracelet means losing your identity!"He growled as he stared at the class.


The students felt shivers as the gaze landed on them.


"Physical training begins today!Get out on the court you maggots and start running five laps!"He shouted


The students were startled by his sudden command but stood up straight and ran out the classroom.


The track was about forty meters, so five laps meant 200 meters.


Lan Du was better off, so she ran one lap before others eve got to the half way point.The instructor observed the people on their first track run and shouted once everyone finished their first run.


"Lan Du, you can run quite well right?Double your track run, ten laps!Qui Shan, you're not bad either, seven laps!"He shouted out.


The others had relatively the same, some received one extra lap while some were reduced as they might collapse if not.


Lan Du gritted her teeth, this time she was nit as tired as on the testing day, so she could run four hundred meters without too much problem.But it still wasn't an easy feat.


Qui Shan wasn't much better off, he may have less than Lan Du but his stamina wasn't as good as her's either.The Xie sisters were doing quite well, they received one extra lap but they could keep up well.


After some time, Lan Du finally reached the last two laps, but before she started the final two, instructor Lu walked up to her and tossed her something.


Lan Du instinctively caught it, but the moment she did, her body almost toppled under the weight.


"Wear it, you seem to be doing quite well, twenty kilos per piece, there are two, so get going"he said with an evil smile.


Lan Du took a deep gulp as she stared at the instructor.


"um...instructor, are you perhaps the demon in human form?"She asked with uncertainty


Instructor Lu grinned


"I used to train elites, after some injuries, I couldn't keep up with my own courses so I was sent to teach the lower classes, seeing you has motivated me, back then, I was indeed called the demon trainer"He said with a proud smile.


Lan Du took in a cold breath as she stared at the devil's incarnate in front of her, forty kilos and eighty meters left, could she even finish it?


Lan Du grit her teeth and wore the weighted gear, she began running down the track, every step felt like an eternity has passed, her lungs began drying up after a few minutes.


Lan Du soon made it to the final lap, by then, her mouth was dry and she was panting for air.The other students were nit much better, they were all sweating and their breathings were heavier than Lan Du's.


Lan Du took her final step over the track and her body fell to the ground.Instructor Lu waked up with a smile and helped her up.


Lan Du turned to him and asked with a face full of doubt.


"Instructor...you're a demon"she said before she wobbled up to her feet.


Instructor smiled in response and supported her, as he held Lan Du's arm, he was shocked for words.


'His arms...how can they be so thin?When I take a closer look, his waist s very slim and his skin is smooth like jade, is he really a guy?'He wondered as he supported her.


Lan Du didn't notice that the instructor was getting suspicious as she was tired to the bone, the last run was short but so much more painful and tiring compared to the previous laps.


Qui Shan came up to see if lan Du was alright.


"Lan Du, to run so much with weights on, you are a monster"He praised and stared at her in admiration


Lan Du smiled


"The title monster came at the cost of running half to death, not worth it"she said and shook her head.


Sweat rolled down her body as she tugged her shirt lightly to get the air flow in and cool herself down.Qui Shan didn't know why but when she did so, he felt his heart race and blushed slightly.


'Why am I thinking this way, he's a guy!'


Qui Shan slapped his face lightly to calm himself down and walked away, hoping they didn't see him blush.Lan Du was too tired to notice but instructor Lu noticed, he wondered why he blushed and looked down towards Lan Du.


Lan Du's clothings were stuck to her due to her sweat, showing he slim body figure.


His expression became weird as he watched Qui Shan walk away.


'I mean...Lan Du is prettier than a girl, but to think he'd blush to him tugging his shirt...'Instructor Lu was at a lost for words as he watched Qui Shan run off.


"Instructor, I can walk the rest of the way myself"she said as she shook instructor Lu's arm off her's and walked off.


Although she knew that instructor Lu wasn't a bad person, having a male touch her was still uncomfortable for her.She didn't like it when guys touch her so she wanted to go as soon as possible.


Instructor watched Lan Du walk off, he sighed and went to help other students who were too tired from running.Xie Ying and Xie Jing did relatively well, they were in the same state after running.


Lan Du walked up behind them and tapped their shoulders.


"How did you two do?"she asked


Xie Ying and Xie Jing smiled brightly as they proudly announced their results.


They finished the laps without much trouble and still had some stamina left after it.Lan D smiled and asked them:


"Since you two still have some stamina, could you two help support me in?"She said as he body swayed and fell onto the two girl's embrace.They blushed but still nodded and held Lan Du by the arm, one on each side.


"thanks"she said as she tugged her shirt again, she was feeling hot after running so she continued to circulate the air through her body.


The two girls found it hard to look at her directly, he actions were just too...too...seductive!


They thought about it and wondered if a boy would feel the same way if they saw Lan Du doing this, after all, he skin was fairer than most girls and her face was also pretty.


If not for the fact that her chest was completely flat, people might even mistaken her for a girl.


"Whats wrong?You two keep looking away"Lan Du asked


The two found it hard to speak about it, after some time, Xie Ying gathered up some courage and said:


"Lan Du, y-you tugging your shirt...its...well um...too stimulating to watch"


*cough cough*


Xie Jing began coughing, the way that Xie Ying phrased it was too misunderstandeble.While she wasn't wrong, it was still a bit too vague!


Lan Du was staring at her in shock before she smiled slyly.


"Oh, stimulating you say?Since that is so, how about we take a better look next time?I can give you a close up view as I do it"she said as she leaned closer to Xie Ying.


Xie Ying blushed and looked away shyly.


Xie Jing shook her head and thought to herself


'My dear sister, you had that one coming'


Lan Du was having too much fun teasing her that she didn't notice that her bandages around her chest was getting loose.Fortunately, it wasn't to the point that her identity would be revealed and can still hold up for some time.


Lan Du smiled as she walked with the sisters, just as they were talking, a figure ran and pumped into them, causing them to all fall to the ground.


Lan DU suddenly heard a snap sound from below, her, she looked down and found out her bandages has given out from the impact just now.


'Crap!'


Lan Du suddenly jumped up and ran towards the toilets while covering her chest, preventing anyone from seeing anything.


The person who ran into them rubbed the back of his head and looked around.He saw the Xie sisters on the ground and the third person leaving in a hurry.


"Sorry, I was in a hurry"he said apologetically


The Xie sisters accepted his apology and watched Lan DU running off.


"Why is Lan Du running?"


"Wasn't he tired just a moment ago?Did something happen to him"


They began to worry and followed behind, they watched her run into the toilets so they could only wait outside.


Lan Du who was inside, looked around and saw that there was no one inside, she ran into a stall and took off her shirt.


A round pair of peaks bounced down as she took it off.


'To think they gave out...mother's genetics are so terrifying...'


She bit the bottom f her lips and grabbed the bandages, she began tying the bits together slowly so she could wrap it around her chest like before.It would not be as effective and comfortable but it was better than nothing.


Suddenly, she heard the door of the toilet open, she heard laughters and shouts from the boys walking in.


'Such bad timing'


She began tying the bandages faster, her heart raced and hoped no idiots would throw their heads over the gaps of the stall.


She quickly wrapped the bandages around herself as she became worried someone would look, her hands were rushed and almost fumbled due to it.


After putting it on, she quickly put on the shirt and let out a sigh of relief.She looked out the stall after opening the doors and noticed that the boys were just fooling around.


They all looked over when Lan Du exited the stall, due to what has just happened, Lan Du was very tense, so her eyes were unusually cold out of habit.


When they saw her cold eyes, they quickly looked away, hoping Lan Du didn't look at them.


Lan Du took in a deep breath and walked out the stall, she vowed in her heart that she would now double the amount of bandages around so this won't happen again.


She walked out the toilet and saw the Xie siblings waiting outside.


"Lan Du, are you alright?"


"You ran off without saying anything, what happened?"


Lan Du smiled and replied


"nothing, just something broke, I will have my mother deliver another later"she said as she placed her palm over their heads and caressed it gently.


The two girls blushed and didn't ask anything more about what has happened.


'That was too close...'


Lan Du smiled bitterly as she parted ways and headed to her dorm.
