The Birth of the War Goddess

Chapter 18: First Day I



A loud noise wakes us all, one of the guys even falls from his bed from the surprise

-Ahi tatata...- he massages his leg

-Who the hell is making such noise this early in the morning?!- ask another hiding himself under the pillow

-I suppose this will be what we'll hear every morning from now on...- I try to stand up but Hua's arms blocks me

-5 more minutes please...-

-I'm afraid we don't have such a privilege here, Hua'Ge-

He opens his eyes rubbing his face while I am already getting changed

-Will we have breakfast?-

-I don't know... I hope so-

-So no morning rose face mask either?-

-Definetly no-

-Then what about...-

-Ge, forget beauty routine here... It's a military base afterall, all we'll use is some rice water probably or fat cream for the cold-

-Uff... Fine!-

Our General comes to open every door hitting his gong before passing onto the next one

-Yes yes! We got it we are awake! Can we at least change without everyone seeing?- ask one another guy called Shun Zhang, trying to stand up from his bed -With open doors- -What the hell?!-

-You are no more spoiled nobles here! You need to learn to live with dirty environments and bathing mens!- says the general before passing over

-I already hate this...- murmurs someone

When I begin to get undressed I hear some whistles coming from the door as guys from other rooms are peeking

-What? Excited for just this?! You have two hands, get good use of those in the bathroom- Hua yell toward them before turning to me

-Men are disgusting-

-You are a man too Gege-

-Well yes but... You know what I mean! They shouldn't come here to watch a lady half naked-

-I'm not a Lady here... On the battlefield we'll be all forced to probably wash ourselves in a river so... Better get used to this soon and forget the embarrassment- I sigh

...

We get all thrown into a big filed divided in lines according to each room and our General stands on the front talking

-Well little girls! This is how your life will be now! We are in war!

The schedule will be this:

Waking up at 6am,

4 hours of physical training,

Breakfast,

Weapon training until lunch,

Lunch,

Strategy studies until evening,

Resistance training

And dinner will be served only to those finishing the resistance track!

After that you are free to go bathe and sleep, none is allowed to step out of their room until the morning!

The worst soldiers will be forced to copy military rules while the others have dinner!

Once a week we will have a full day for a specific kind of training, on that day the evening will be free for everyone but it is prohibited to drink alcohol or have any sort of nightly fun...

This will be until you are ready and fully trained...

Once a month the best soldier of the Sect will be granted a privilege of their choice!

Be sure to do all your best, we need perfect soldiers to send on the battlefield as soon as possible!-

Having Hua asked to switch room we are now 7, so Xiao Luo has to group up with our neighbors being only 5...

-Well then... Here we go- I crack my neck bones before starting with the warm up

-That was... Disgusting Lai'Er, don't crack yourself like wood anymore!-

-Hahaha you are too delicate Ge- I tell him starting my push up

-Mmh...- he only murmurs

-Faster! Faster!- yells the general

-As if we aren't killing ourselves here...-

-Weren't you... Uh... Small but dea...dly? You said you had your ways...- I Ask pushing my body up and down

-Give me a weapon and you'll... Ah! See!-

-Well I suppose you will... End up as an Archer if they find enough... Potential in you-

...

After the warming exercises we begin trying different positions of physical fighting divided in pairs, I of course am with Hua

-You are not going to hurt me right...?-

-This training is just a fake fight Hua'Ge... You should know it, it's just to memorize the moves perfectly-

-Oh... Oh hahaha yeah sure!-

-Higher! Your right arm is not positionated properly...- says the general to Wei Xuan, fighting with Kasuo Gu beside us, hitting the arm of one with his sheathed sword and the leg of the other

-Your legs are too rigid, if your enemy was to actually hit you would end up breaking your knees-

He then pass to us

-Mmh- he turns around us examining our fighting

-Very well, there's still a lot to work on but I see the potential... You man- he points at Hua -Fix your eyes, you must be more fierce and you Miss Ying need more muscles in the arms... Keep going, I'll be back to check again- and he passes to the next pair

-Well... That's good right?-

-It's the first day... They are going easy on us, I'm sure things will change in a couple of weeks-

-Mhm.. that's true-

-No talking soldiers! You must focus into what you are doing!-

-Oh well, damn...- says Hua rolling his eyes

...

-I crave fooood!- says Hua laying his torso on the table, apparently even when eating we must stick together with our roommates

Xiao Luo is missing tho...

I place my bowl next to his and seat down

-So... How was the training?-

-I expected worst, it's really tiring still...- says Shun Zhang

-Yeah I think so too, maybe at the end of the day we will regret saying these words humph- I chuckle taking a sip of soup

-Worst?! I am dead and hungry- laments Hua

-Well you still were pretty good in my opinion, I really wish for us to be the best group of the section- looks outside Hao Ming with dreamy eyes

-Already pointing high on the first day?- mocks him another one

-As if the General didn't say those two had potential! We all heard that...

Our room will be remembered hihi!- grins Wei Xuan

-Potential or not I'm not aiming for anything... It's already a miracle for me to be here alive- I sigh

-What do you mean?-

-You guys don't know?! Almost everyone have been talking about it!

She slipped into our recruitment camp, dressed as a soldier and after knocking off the guards she entered the Minister tend to threaten him with a sword!-

-I didn't knock off anyone... I only used a bit of logic-

-Wait! You were that soldier who offered water to the guards?!-

-Are you telling me you are the guy who helped me, Kasuo?!-

he scratches his beard, which makes him look like a seasoned warrior

-Well... I suppose I am your accomplice. About what I said to the guards... Ehm I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take all the merits-

-It's all good, it actually helped... At least if they accused someone of tricking them, the fault would have fell on someone else-

-Ehy! That's not nice Miss!-

A guy pushes him off, laughing -Didn't even knew and you got tricked by her already! Hahaha you can't really resist women perv!-
