The next day.
The training activity was a 400m obstacle run. There were also activities such as a 100m sprint, horse stance, crossing mud pits, wall climbing, balancing, and wire-mesh drilling.
As they were extremely difficult, the time restraints were looser.
They also added a shooting activity at the end. Gu Mang’s shooting was so terrible there was no room for getting any worse.
Although the superiors had told Li Mu not to question Gu Mang’s training performance, for some reason, he kept trying to help her.
Being cared for so nicely, Gu Mang did not know what to say. So, she told Li Mu, "Sir, I am very good. I just don’t want to take part in the assessment for the documentary. You don’t have to provide so much guidance to me."
Li Mu did not believe it. He looked at her with a serious and stern look. "Practice makes perfect. I believe that you can become better."
Gu Mang was expressionless, and her tone was calm and cold. "Military instructor, what is the first duty of Red Scorpion?"
Li Mu answered, "Obey!"
Gu Mang nodded and questioned nonchalantly. "Then why aren’t you obeying your superiors."
Li Mu was silent for a second. "The superiors think that you are too under-qualified. I think there is room for improvement."
The corner of Gu Mang’s lips curled up and she said frivolously, "Your superiors are right. So you should obey them."
Li Mu couldn’t think of a rebuttal suddenly.
Gu Mang smiled. "Goodbye, Sir."
With that, she turned to leave.

At night, they let the students rest instead of making them run cross country carrying heavy loads.
Gu Mang played games in Lu Chengzhou’s office and said casually, "That military instructor of mine..."
Lu Chengzhou was sitting beside her. He turned to look at her and waited for her to finish her sentence.
Gu Mang cleared her throat. "...has quite a great sense of responsibility."
Lu Chengzhou laughed. "Li Mu is quite a qualified person. He ranked first in all areas in the reserves. When this military training ends, he will be transferred to the main base."
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows without stopping her hand movements. She headshot her opponent and then looked at Lu Chengzhou. "Did you pick him as my military instructor?"
Lu Chengzhou was still smiling. He answered with a low voice, "Guess."
Gu Mang did not answer. She picked up the cup of water and finished it. Her eyes were still fixed on the computer screen.
Lu Chengzhou took her cup and went to refill it.
