Chapter 347 Team Leader
After a day of debate, Dr. Zhou and Dr. Qi finally reached a conclusion. They each compromised, agreeing that Xi Yu would assist them two days a week, while continuing her basic training the rest of the time. After all, they couldn't keep her in the lab indefinitely, though they wanted to. As a result, Xi Yu was extremely busy and had little time for basic training, leading to resentment among many recruits who saw her as someone who had gotten in through connections. Xi Yu naturally noticed the discontent, but… so what? She never cared about the gossip behind her back, nor did she care about the sarcasm. Three months later, Yue Chengsi announced that all recruits must participate in a live-fire exercise to assess their training progress and to allow the legion to assign tasks according to individual abilities. All the recruits were divided into seven groups for combat, each consisting of three privates and fifteen or sixteen privates. "You will be deployed to a deserted island for combat. The team that defeats the most teams at the end will win, and individual kill counts will also be recorded," Yue Chengsi said coldly. All the recruits couldn't help but show their excitement; demonstrating their strength was something these newcomers couldn't wait to do. "I will select seven of you as team leaders," Yue Chengsi continued, reading out the list: "Huang De, step forward; Bai Yongkang, step forward..." One by one, the people Yue Chengsi called stepped forward from the ranks. When he was about to announce the last team leader, he paused and then said, "Xi Yu, step forward." Xi Yu looked up in surprise, not expecting Yue Chengsi to choose her as a team leader. She stepped out of the ranks with doubt. As she walked, whispers arose around her, almost everyone's face showing negative emotions such as incomprehension, anger, and contempt. Xi Yu stepped forward without looking to either side, joining the first six in a line. The new recruits' complaints grew louder and louder. Yue Chengsi lowered his voice and shouted, "Quiet!" Everyone immediately fell silent, though their indignation was evident on their faces. Next, the remaining recruits were divided into groups. Yue Chengsi gave everyone the right to choose their own teams, and soon all six groups were full, except for Xi Yu's group. Only Ruan Zilu and Fang Yiqing stood beside Xi Yu; none of the other recruits were willing to join her team.
After all the other teams were full, the remaining fifteen recruits without teams remained standing in place, refusing to walk behind Xi Yu.
"What are you doing?" Yue Chengsi asked those who were unwilling to team up in a cold voice.
One of the recruits mustered his courage and declared, "Sir, we do not approve of this captain! Nor do we believe she is capable of serving as captain!"
Yue Chengsi's face immediately turned cold.
Xi Yu chuckled upon hearing this, then turned to them and said, "That's fine too. I don't need any extra people. The three of us are enough. You can join other groups."
Her words further enraged the group of new recruits.
"Shut up, all of you!!"
Yue Chengsi angrily shouted to stop them, his eyes filled with coldness as he stared at everyone and warned, "Do you think this is a game?! Anyone who doesn't want to obey orders can leave immediately! I'll only give you this one chance. If there's a next time, I won't ask any questions and you'll be expelled from the legion forever!"
Yue Chengsi's temper silenced everyone, and although they had joined Xi Yu's group, they were clearly unwilling to obey her as the team leader.
