Like a proper soldier

Lan Du's eyes were serious and her aura was completely different from usual.

"Lan Du, what happened that day?"Ling Shou asked

Lan Du sighed and said slowly

"You three should know my mother"She said

The three nodded

"My mother was hospitalised that day due to an incident..."Her voice trembled slightly

They suddenly felt guilty for having Lan Du speak of what happened that day.If it had something to do with her mother, it must be a painful experience.

"My mother met someone who caused her mental state to go unsteady thus causing her to fall into a coma"Lan Du's hand trembled and a drop of tear rolled down the side of her face.

"w-who did she meet?"They asked

Lan Du looked up at them dead in the eye and replied "My father"

The three let out a gasp, but they were confused, why did meeting her father cause her mother to faint?

"That bastard...he dared to show his face to her after leaving for twelve years!"Lan Du's entire body was trembling at this point.

It was clear that she was angry.

'Twelve years!'

They were completely baffled.Never did they expect her to have this type of story.Lan Du always seem so playful but deeb inside, she must have a heavy burden.

"When I visited my mother...I finally me that bastard"she grit her teeth and said.She then took a deep breath in.Her aura suddenly changed again.

Now it was calm and back to her usual self.The change was so fast that none of theme expected this.Why did she suddenly calm down?

"Thats it, thats the story"she said

"huh?"

"I said thats it, he tried to find out who I was so I jumped out the window to escape"Lan Du said

"Hah?"

"Lan Du, don't tell me you broke your arm because you don't want your father to see who you are?"Fatty said questionably

Lan Du sneered

"Are you kidding?If that was the only reason I would have wasted my life, but that is a secret that could get me killed, you want me to say that to you three?"Lan Du said seriously

"k-killed?"they took a deep gulp and muttered

"yes, killed, if he found I who I was, not only me...even you three may be hurt"She said solemnly

Of course, this was all a lie to throw them off.Half way through telling her story, she realised that she let her emotions take the best of her.She decided to calm down and tell a lie that could throw them off.

"L-Lan Du, we're sorry, we shouldn't have asked"They said apologetically

Lan Du smiled and replied

"It's fine, got a cup noodle?I'm starving"She said

"Lan Du, can you eat with your arm?"Fatty pointed it out

Lan Du chuckled and said

"I can't, but when I was young one time, my mother tied up my arms as a training method for a whole day, so eating with my feet is no problem"She said without shame.

She didn't care that it could ruin a girl's image, she was currently a boy so she had zero shame at all.

"w-with your feet?"

"Hand them over already"She growled

Fatty was a bit startled but he smiled.This was what Lan Du is meant to be like, overbearing and hot tempered.He was glad that she didn't hate them for forcing her to answer.

He boiled a cup noodle for her and waited for it to cool for a bit.After some time, he passed it to Lan Du.

"Lan Du, are you sure you can hold it?"He asks

"Its fine, just pass it over"She took off her shoes and socks.While waiting, she washed her feet thoroughly as she will be eating with it.

She picked up a pair of chopsticks with her feet and held the cup noodle by the top.Her toes clenched onto it tightly as she leaned her back onto the wall.

Then, she raised her leg up and used the one holding the chopsticks to dig into the cup.She then lifted it, holding up noodles on it.

Tie Wang, Ling Shou and Fatty watched as she ate.

'h-he really did it....'

They couldn't describe what they were looking at, this was too strange.Lan Du was literally eating with her feet!And she was very efficient at it as well!

How did she do this?

Lan Du ignored their gazes and continued to eat.

"L-Lan Du...this...never mind"They wanted to say something only to realise they couldn't describe a single thing.This was the first time they have seen anyone eat with their feet.It's meant to be something that looks disgusting but for some reason, when Lan Du did it, it only made her look awesome in a strange way.

"what"Lan Du looked up and asked

"n-nothing, just keep eating"They said as they shook their heads

Right after eating, Lan Du went to wash her feet again before crawling onto her bed.Today has been a strange day no less, she became the boss of dozens of seniors, fixed her arm, kicked an instructor and also ate noodles with her feet.

Even by her standard it was weird.

Lan Du closed her eyes and her mind drifted off in matter of minutes.It has been a tiring day for her.After a good night's sleep, she woke up full of energy, her arm was still broken but it was much better than before.There would still be pain when force is applied to it so she still had to be careful.

When she walked, her arms would just dangle by the side of her body.Her bandages has been removed as it was no longer needed.The arm should be healed in a few days and bandages would attract a lot of attention.

Lan Du went to class and sat down.

"Lan Du, how's your arm?"Xie Ying asked

"I might someone to feed me again"Lan Du said with a grin on her face.

Xie Ying blushed

"Hateful"She pouted and turned her head.

Instructor Lu walked in with a lady behind him.She seemed to be an instructor of another class but teh students weren't too sure as they never seen her before.

"This is instructor Ting, she is an instructor of the senior area so it's no surprise you don't know her, she will be observing your physical training today"

Instructor Ting attracted a lot of attention from mostly the boys of the class.She had a cold outlook to her but it only made some of the boys more infatuated with her appearance.As some would call it, an ice queen.

Lan Du didn't pay too much attention as it was just physical training, she could just do what she usually does.They soon arrived outside at the training ground.Their class was also joined up with a group of seniors already there.

"If you have any questions, the seniors are here to point anything out"Instructor Ting said

Lan Du didn't listen at all, she just asked Xie Jing and Xie Ying to tie the usual weights onto her legs.When some of the seniors saw what she did, they walked up.

"um, this junior, forty kilos is no laughing matter to run with, maybe try ten kilos for now and try it out"The one who spoke was called Feng Tan, he was a leader figure in the class so many seniors respected him.

Lan Du glanced up

"It's fine, this is my usual training weights"She said

"this..."The seniors were startled, that was her usual training weights?!Even Feng Tan only uses thirty five at most, and that was for short sprints!

Lan Du stood up with the weights as if they were not there in the first place.Her movements seems smooth and natural as if she was used to this.

"May I ask how much you usually run?"Feng Tan asked

Lan Du thought

"The longest I have done is four hundred metres, due to a problem, i only did three hundred last time"She said

'I think at least, i was in a daze yesterday so I didn't notice'Lan Du thought

Feng Tan felt his standing as a senior crumble in front of Lan Du.She was not your average junior, thats for sure.She is more like a monster.

Lan Du stretched her legs a bit and began running.Her arms just dangled at the side of her body and fluttered behind her as she was running.Instructor Ting took notice of the way she ran so she just observed.

'Does he think running like that can make him faster?'She wondered as she watched Lan Du.

What people doesn't know is that although instructor Ting is normally quite smart and strict, she is dense when it comes to human emotions and body.She doesn't realise that Lan Du has a broken arm as she didn't have bandages around it.

'I will have a talk with him after this'

Lan DU began sweating as the sun shone down on her.Some of the seniors already stopped running after three hundred metres with fifteen kilos of weight while others stopped earlier.Lan Du just kept running without stopping, her lungs were practically screaming at her after a few more minutes of nonstop running.

She suddenly stopped, she took in many deep breaths as her body was depleted in oxygen and water.She walked back to the benches slowly and sat down.Before she could rest properly, instructor Ting walked up to her with fierce eyes.

"The way you're running, do you think you can go faster like that?"She asked

Lan Du was completely thrown off by the question, the way she ran?

"You must have seen too much of those shows where the characters run like that, stop it, it will only get you in trouble in the future"She said angrily

Lan Du was dumbfounded

"Instructor, I..."

"Now don't talk back, I want you go run again, do it normally this time!"She said sternly

Lan Du was bewildered by her actions, is this how an instructor should act?What do you mean run normally?Am I suppose to keep my arms by my chest with a broken arm?!

"Instructor..."Lan Du wanted to explain but instructor Ting didn't listen, she grabbed Lan Du's wrist and pulled her up.

"ng"Lan Du felt a sharp pain in her arm.The sudden pull has caused a lot of strain to be placed on her entire arm.

"Get up already"She said coldly

Lan Du wobbled to her feet her other arm was dangling by the side and instructor Ting's grip only grew stronger.

Lan Du didn't dare kick her either, her arm was still being held tightly, if she did, it might cripple that arm.Suddenly from behind, the sound of a bottle and towel drop rang.

Xie Ying and Xie Jing was standing there with shock in their eyes.They suddenly ran up and grabbed instructor Ting by her arm.

"Instructor Ting...please let go this instant"Xie Jing said

Instructor Ting was surprised but she was confused.

'Why did these girls seem so angry with her?Is it because they knew this boy?Thinking back, they were together with him before'

"You girls, don't get in my way, I need to teach him how a proper soldier runs"She said

Her grip increased again and Lan Du felt the searing pain in her arm.She grit her teeth tightly, opening it would only cause her to scream.

"How a soldier should run?Didn't he run just fine!"Xie Ying shouted angrily

"Fine?How was that fine?His arms were always behind him as if he watches too much dramas!"

Xie Ying and Xie Jing finally realised what was going on.The instructor is just completely dense and clueless about Lan Du's arm.

"Instructor!Lan Du broke his arm recently, the fact that he is doing this training is already very difficult!"They shouted at the same time.

It took a moment before instructor Ting registered what they just said.

'broken arm...'She looked back to see Lan Du's pained expression as she grit her teeth tightly.

"ah!"She immediately released Lan Du's arm

Lan Du took in a deep breath and suppressed the pain in her arm.She fell back onto the ground and gasped for air.The pain of holding it all in was excruciating to her.

She had a bitter look on her face.

'I might need to go back to the senior zone...'

Her arm might be damaged once again, she might need more medicine at this rate.

(Aiya, it seems instructor Ting though she was doing the N*ruto run, please don't judge me, the me from a year ago was going through a phase)
