The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress

Chapter 253

The consequence of her sharp tongue was that Chloe was punished to frog-jump ten laps around the entire camp. Since the students of The No.1 Military Academy were quite cunning and prone to cheating if left to supervise themselves, the ten laps were overseen by students from Tagar Military Academy.

During her punishment, Chloe continuously tried to break through the psychological defenses of the Tagar students. Every time she jumped in front of them, she would put on a smiling face and say some sweet words, hoping to reduce the number of laps she had to complete.

However, the Tagar students had rules ingrained in their bones. Even though Chloe was truly skilled at speaking and charming people, no one paid her any attention.

Left with no choice, Chloe had to properly complete all ten laps of frog-jumps.

After finishing, her only thought was - This military camp really didn't need to be built so large.

She planned to secretly move the fences inward a bit tomorrow, as a service to future generations. Then, everyone in the camp who got punished would have to thank her.

Chloe's mischievous thoughts kept spinning until Ren Yunying led them to meet the person in charge of this temporary military camp - Colonel Bai Zuo. Only then did she snap back to reality.

Judging by his appearance, Colonel Bai Zuo wasn't particularly young, probably in his forties. Of course, given the current average lifespan on the continent, being in one's forties was actually quite young. But since most people could generally control their outward appearance to look like they were in their twenties or thirties, it was uncommon to see someone honestly presenting themselves as being in their forties.

Bai Zuo was a man with proper features who, at first glance, didn't leave much of an impression. He had a pair of very sharp eyes, which became apparent when he looked at people intently.

At this moment, those sharp eyes were staring directly at Chloe.

Having just completed ten laps of frog-jumps, Chloe's knees and legs were terribly sore and weak. She could barely stand properly and was carefully leaning against Anderson to maintain her posture.

She was even eyeing the camp fences with a shifty gaze, easily giving the impression that she might be plotting some mischief.

Which, in fact, she was.

Bai Zuo didn't like such undisciplined individuals.

Since Ren Yunying had entrusted these people to him for discipline, Bai Zuo would do his utmost to straighten out this crooked piece of wood.

He looked down at the list Ren Yunying had given him earlier and called out directly:

"Chloe."

Hearing her name, Chloe's body gave a shudder, and she immediately turned to Bai Zuo:

"Present!"

She cautiously raised her eyes, only to meet Bai Zuo's stern gaze.

At that moment, Chloe instantly realized that this person probably didn't like her very much.

Come to think of it, it made sense. Troublemakers like her weren't easily liked by elders who were used to following rules and regulations.

Moreover, not everyone was like Ren Yunying, who had been worn down after more than five years of dealing with her.

To be honest, Chloe felt a bit nervous.

Bai Zuo looked at Chloe sternly and ordered, "Stand properly."

When it came to orders from superiors, especially unfamiliar ones, Chloe was quite willing to obey. After all, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Chloe quickly corrected her posture, standing perfectly straight.

Seeing this, the tight knot between Bai Zuo's brows loosened slightly.

She was still willing to listen, so it seemed she wasn't a complete troublemaker.

"Tell me, why were you so undisciplined just now?"

Chloe discreetly glanced at her legs, then honestly replied:

"Because I was punished by Instructor Ren."

Bai Zuo: "Why were you punished?"

Chloe: "...Because I made a mistake."

"Since you made a mistake, continue to be alert and don't repeat the same error."

Hearing this, Chloe nodded shyly: "Alright."

Whether it was her posture, language, or attitude, everything about her seemed obedient, docile, and compliant.

But for some reason, Bai Zuo still felt she was a troublemaker.

It should be said that Chloe's entire demeanor was screaming to everyone - she was a hellraiser.

This naturally born troublemaker aura wasn't something everyone could possess.

Bai Zuo frowned, somewhat displeased.

However, since Chloe hadn't done anything seriously against discipline at the moment, he had no reason to say more. So he continued:

"Since you've chosen to come here, I assume you're all clear about your mission."

"The Viper Group has left traces here. Although we don't know if it was intentional or not, their existence is a threat to the people of the continent regardless. We cannot let our guard down against them."

"Students, this is your chance to prove yourselves and render meritorious service to the people."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was filled with passionate excitement, feeling as if they were about to receive medals of honor on stage the next second.

Except for the students from The No.1 Military Academy.

Chloe looked at Colonel Bai Zuo with a sincere expression as he gave his speech, occasionally nodding in agreement, but without a hint of excitement.

Daniel yawned.

Qin Huaibei calmly pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge.

Katherine counted on her fingers how long it would be until this was over.

Anderson maintained an expressionless, deadpan face.

Bai Zuo: "..."

What was wrong with these people?

He suppressed his dissatisfaction and finally ordered: "All of you, go to the training ground and train with those soldiers."

The students from Tagar Military Academy obediently went, and Chloe and her group also complied.

After lining up, Chloe glanced back and saw that Bai Zuo was watching them from not far away, as if supervising.

Chloe's body tensed, and she seriously told her teammates to perform well.

Qin Huaibei gave an OK hand gesture to show he understood.

They indeed performed excellently.

There's a big difference in training intensity between formal military and military academies. After getting used to the academy's training level, suddenly accepting military-level training would be quite challenging, as was the case for the Tagar Military Academy students.

But The No.1 Military Academy wasn't like that, or rather, Chloe and her group weren't like that.

Because Ren Yunying was a sadistic instructor, the soldiers she trained were also monsters. Not to mention this group of monstrous soldiers who had endured five years of torture under her.

During an hour of non-stop shooting practice, their gun-holding hands didn't shake at all. Every bullet was accurately controlled within the nine-ring, or even the ten-ring.

In hand-to-hand combat training, each of their moves was unexpected. Everyone had a unique fighting style, especially Chloe. Her punches were unpredictable and difficult to defend against, her speed was incredibly fast, and her attacks were ruthless.

Even when the two groups encountered each other, they would sneakily exchange opponents, doing so without anyone noticing. The soldiers would barely realize their opponent had changed if they weren't paying close attention.

Even in confrontations with formal soldiers, they didn't fall behind.

Chloe was even yawning.

She looked extremely tired, her eyelids drooping, but her body seemed to have formed muscle memory. Despite being drowsy, each of her moves was still precise and powerful.

After several hours of training, Chloe was supported by her companions and fed some sugar.

Bai Zuo's previous prejudices had completely vanished.

They indeed had the credentials to be troublemakers.

Bai Zuo picked up the list and ticked off the names of The No.1 Military Academy's people one by one. Just as he was about to call out Chloe's name, he saw her surrounded by her peers from The No.1 Military Academy, very quietly... fast asleep.

Bai Zuo: "?"
