Girls und War

They might be from a single-child family, with only the student's parents coming to see them off; or they might be from a community-based family in the regular society of Blue Star, with a large number of sisters of the same age coming to see them off in addition to the family guardians.

In short, the parents who saw the students off all looked worried that their children would suffer, and their faces were filled with heartache as if they were reluctant to let their children go on a long journey.

But no matter how reluctant they are, boys and girls will grow up.

From the moment they entered the academy, they were destined to embark on a unique path of "the military camp is my home".

At this moment, Xia Shu finally learned the answer to a very important question that had troubled her for a long time.

——Is that Xiao Jue on the new student registration list the Xiao Jue he knows?

The answer is of course yes.

Who else could that cute girl in front of me, wearing headphones, walking unsteadily, and giving Xia Shu a sly smile, be but Xiao Jue?

Standing next to her was a mature, steady, and worried older sister who was unfamiliar to her. She was constantly emphasizing something to Sister Dongliang, the head of the teaching group.

An Nan and Xia Shu were helping to compile the report list of new students. After confirming that each person was in place, they would put a check mark on the list.

After An Nan put a check mark behind Xiao Jue's name, he looked at the "Special Observer" marked behind it and frowned.

Xia Shu also saw it and asked, "What does this mean?"

An Nan replied, "Maybe she has a criminal record. Girls like that are very difficult to deal with. You have to keep an eye on them all the time."

Xia Shu didn't quite understand why people with criminal records were eligible to join the army.

But she had nothing much to say, and could only regard it as a concept of human rights equality unique to the Blue Star society.

The older sister over there seemed to have finished speaking, and then bowed deeply to Sister Dongliang.

Sister Dongliang quickly helped her up and promised her something.

At this time, Sister Dongliang turned around and asked Xiaojue something, and Xiaojue raised his hand and pointed his finger at Xia Shu.

Xia Shu didn't know what was going on. Sister Dongliang called out again, "Xia Shu, come here!"

Xia Shu trotted over there under An Nan's sympathetic gaze.

Only after she got there did she realize what Xiao Jue was referring to.

Because Sister Dongliang had a serious expression on her face and said to her, "Xia Shu, from now on, you will be the full-time caregiver of this girl, okay?"

Natsuki couldn't refuse and could only nod.

So Xiao Jue grinned, revealing a smile of satisfaction that was so bright that it was intoxicating.

706. Registration Day

Seeing that Xia Shu agreed very straightforwardly without any hesitation, Sister Dongliang nodded with a slight satisfaction.

Sister Dongliang is quite supportive of Xia Shu.

Young, capable, and motivated, he was much better than those old sergeants who were just idling around.

I think Xia Shu's performance in the new training team will not disappoint me. If that's the case, letting Xia Shu pass the assessment before was a very wise decision.

The older sister who was Xiao Jue's temporary guardian said many words of gratitude to Xia Shu when she saw that Xia Shu agreed to the task.

Xiao Jue stood there heartlessly, no one knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, under the persuasion of Sister Dongliang, the elder sister left the new student registration office, looking back every few steps.

In this way, Xiao Jue's guardianship, or supervisory power, was transferred to the lieutenant cadet.

The lieutenant cadet handed over the supervision task to Xia Shu.

In other words, Xia Shu had the responsibility to keep an eye on Xiao Jue. If she showed any unusual behavior, Xia Shu would deal with it immediately.

However, Xia Shu had no experience in how to take care of problem children. All she could do was treat Xiao Jue strictly like a new recruit.

As a student who is not so normal, Xiao Jue naturally cannot live a normal life like other students.

It goes without saying that she has to live with the teachers and be supervised by Xia Shu in her daily life.

In addition, every once in a while, a psychologist would come to the college to provide Xiao Jue with psychological medical counseling.

In short, be as strict as possible.

Don't blame it for being troublesome, or for making work and life inconvenient. Xiao Jue has a criminal record, and if her future isn't completely blocked, it's a testament to Blue Planet's comprehensive human rights protections.

However, this status will not last forever. As long as Xiao Jue can be obedient for a year or two and not cause trouble, this status of special attention will soon be cancelled.

Xia Shu also understood this situation quite well.

If interpreted according to Earth's laws, it should be called "probation."

After Sister Dongliang handed the troubled girl on probation to Xia Shu, she stopped asking about her affairs and went about her own business.

As for Xia Shu, he had no choice but to continue his mission with this burden.

After she brought Xiao Jue back to An Nan's place, An Nan asked, "What's wrong? Why is this little ghost following you?"

Xia Shu shrugged and said helplessly, "I don't know. They assigned it to me. I guess they thought I was too idle standing here."

As he said this, he turned around and looked at Xiao Jue and called her name.

Xiao Jue didn't answer, probably because the headphones were noise-blocking and she had no idea Xia Shu was calling her.

Seeing this, An Nan looked up and took Xiao Jue's headphones off, saying to her, "Students are not allowed to wear headphones during training. Put them away when you get back. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue nodded obediently without any intention of resisting.

Xia Shu was relieved to see that Xiao Jue was not as rebellious as he had imagined. He said to her, "Follow me and stand here. I'll take you to the dormitory after I'm done."

Xiao Jue said, "I understand, Sister Xia Shu."

Then he walked behind Xia Shu and stood still, putting on the headphones that An Nan had photographed.

"This brat..." An Nan was a little amused and turned to Xia Shu and said, "You're hard to manage."

Xia Shu sighed and shook his head helplessly, saying he knew things wouldn't be that easy. But he still focused on the task at hand and asked An Nan sternly, "How many have you reported? How many more are left?"

An Nan picked up the personnel name, looked at the number of people on it, and replied, "There are still about one-third left."

At this moment, Xia Shu noticed that a new ranking had been added to the end of the list, and all the people were neatly marked with a √. He leaned over to take a closer look and asked, "What do these people do?"

"Which ones?" An Nan looked down and said "Oh" again, then replied, "This one, this one is the student who repeated the grade last year."

"Repeat...repeat a grade?" Xia Shu looked confused.

"Yeah, the junior lieutenant exam is a bit difficult, okay? Do you think everyone can pass?" An Nan spread out his hands, looking helpless. "Those who don't pass will be held back, right?"

Xia Shu recalled the giant babies he saw in the examination room and felt that this might really happen.

So she asked again, "What if you never pass? Do you just keep studying in the military academy?"

"Not really." An Nan put his hands on his hips, a nostalgic look on his face, and said, "It seems that after three years of failing the assessment, he was sent to the reserve to do odd jobs. But there has never been such a bizarre thing in history."

Xia Shu nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this time, other parents of students came to register with their children. An Nan quickly asked them to sign the registration form and then began to educate them on the regulations for students in the school.

This behavior continued for a whole day until the registration deadline approached.

Seeing that there were still a few people on the list who had not been reported, An Nan sent their names to the Communications Department.

After receiving the information, the Communications Department immediately contacted the students there.

Otherwise, when the registration deadline comes, no matter what good things the students say, the registration office will no longer accept them.

However, even though the Communications Department sent contact information to each student one by one, there was still one student who arrived late after the registration deadline.

The students' parents repeatedly explained to them that they came here because they remembered the registration date wrong.

But rules are rules, and the deadline for logging in has already passed. Even though Xia Shu and An Nan were very sympathetic, there was nothing they could do if they couldn't enter the form.

So this confused parent could only leave with his daughter, feeling dejected.

If you feel uncomfortable, sign up again next time.

Seeing that the registration was finally completed, An Nan stretched, said that he was going to get something to eat, and then left the registration office.

Xia Shu stood up and looked back at Xiao Jue.

Seeing that she had been standing behind him obediently for most of the day, he nodded with a fairly satisfied expression.

Xiao Jue, on the other hand, looked nonchalant. Seeing Xia Shu looking towards her, she took off her headphones and asked, "Are you done?"

Xia Shu nodded and replied, "I'm done. I'll take you to the dormitory."

As he spoke, he took Xiao Jue and walked towards the non-commissioned officers' dormitory where they lived.

After arriving at the non-commissioned officers' dormitory, Xia Shu pointed to the last room in a row of dormitories and said to her, "That's where you'll live from now on."

Then he pointed to the room he lived in and said, "This is my dormitory, do you understand?"

707. Students gathering for the first time

Xiao Jue saw that the two dormitories were very close to each other, so he nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Answer yes to the instructor!" Xia Shu reminded with an expressionless face.

"Yes! I understand! Sister Xia Shu." Xiao Jue followed suit.

Xia Shu's expression softened, and he patted her head before saying, "That's right. You must be obedient from now on. Got it?"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Xia Shu took Xiao Jue to see her own room.

Originally, the trainees were not qualified to live in the same room as the instructors. They were supposed to live in a large bunk bed with ten people in each, just like the recruits, with each class being a training unit.

But Xiao Jue is a special girl. Letting her live with other students would be irresponsible to them.

If I live with the teacher, it will be inconvenient for the teacher.

So, taking all factors into consideration, we had no choice but to resort to this last resort, isolating her alone.

In the room, Xia Shu told Xiao Jue about some of the restrictions given to her.

"You must have my permission to enter and leave the dormitory every day. If you act on your own without telling me, I will receive a report of your actions. Also, the dormitory door cannot be locked automatically. Any of our teachers has the right to enter your room directly. However, for privacy reasons, I will knock on the door when entering and leaving. Do you understand me?"

"I understand, Sister Xia Shu!" Xiao Jue seemed very excited. It seemed that she had begun to become addicted to this real game that was like role-playing.

"Don't call me Sister Xia Shu outside anymore. Call me Instructor. Got it?"

"Got it, Sister Xia Shu!"

"..."

Well, this place isn't considered outside yet, so let her go this time.

Then Xia Shu said, "I'll notify everyone to gather before dinner. You wait... Forget it, just follow me now. Change your clothes and put on your training clothes."

"Yes!" Xiao Jue took off his pants without hesitation after hearing that.

Xia Shu was stunned, and quickly turned around and walked out, saying as he walked, "I'll wait for you outside. Come out when you're done changing."

With that, he walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

After waiting outside for a while, Xiao Jue changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

Seeing that she was still wearing the huge noise-isolating headphones after changing into her training clothes, Xia Shu reminded her, "Don't wear the headphones. You have to obey orders."

After hearing this, Xiao Jue had no choice but to put the headphones back to the dormitory.

Seeing the reluctance in her eyes, Xia Shu asked, "Do you like listening to music? What kind of songs do you listen to?"

Xiao Jue gave a cute smile and replied, "Death metal."

Xia Shu showed a speechless expression. It seemed that this girl was indeed not normal.

Other girls like to listen to fresh and trendy music, and rock music is also popular among the trendy ones. There are also many people who like the V band.

Why does this girl wear headphones and listen to death metal every day?

Aren’t you afraid of getting deafened?

But she couldn't criticize other people's musical hobbies, so she could only say, "You can only wear that thing on holidays from now on, understand?"
