Chapter 149: People can be kind, but they should not be without principles.
"Report, instructor, I don’t know."
The instructor coldly said to them, "Because military training not only tests your physical strength but also cultivates a sense of unity. You are assigned to the same dormitory, forming a small collective. When one person makes a mistake, the group is punished. Furthermore, some of you tried to escape training, and as roommates, not only did you not persuade her from doing so, but you also tried to help her make excuses to get away, which is an aggravation of the offense."
Shen Weiyi: "Report, instructor, we did call her, but she herself didn’t want to come." In this matter, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong. One can be kind, but there must be limits.
Even though they and Qin Ruo were in the same collective, it didn’t mean they could wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.
Qin Ruo not wanting to come was something they couldn’t decide on their own.
They were willing to accept the instructor’s punishment, but only because he was the instructor, not because they agreed with his actions.
Instructor: "Then you should have reported it immediately, instead of trying to cover up for her."
Fang Jing couldn’t help but lower her head.
It was her fault that had caused everyone to be punished together.
The instructor glanced at them and continued, "I will contact your tutor about this matter. Now, everyone is dismissed. We will gather here again in half an hour."
Half an hour later, everyone returned to the drill ground.
Starting with attention and rest positions, the main event was still standing at attention, which lasted most of the day. It wasn’t until nine o’clock that the instructor announced a ten-minute break, and everyone hurriedly ran to the shade to rest.
