Coach Sun walked in with a torchlight, looking frigid. “What are you doing here?”

“Wuuwuu…” Wu Mengran looked pitifully at her coach.

“Let her go.”

Ye Erruo let go of her hand reluctantly.

“Coach, these girls defied your rule. They stole some buns and brought them back here.” The snitcher could not wait to complain.

His eyes swept coldly across the group. “Who stole the buns?”

Yao Tiao commented with a guilty conscience, “None of us stole any buns.”

“Liar! The four of you did not go to dinner earlier, yet you were caught munching on these buns a while ago,” Wu Mengran commented angrily.

Coach Sun ordered icily, “Ye Erruo, Shu Xin, come over here.”

“…”

“Did you bring the buns?”

“There are no buns.” Yao Tiao chipped in loudly before any of them could answer.

Coach Sun walked over and surveyed the dormitory. His sharp gaze ensured no corners were missed.

“You… You ate all the buns! The rest of them can testify to that.” Wu Mengran pointed to her roommates.

“Tsk… They will surely help you since you are their roommate.”

While her face turned red, the other girl scoffed, “The girls from the other dormitory can testify too. You have eaten the buns, and these two girls brought the buns for the four of you.”

“The girls from the other dormitory are likely your friends too. You have all ganged up against us.”

“You… You!”

Yao Tiao snorted, “What about me? If you claim that we have eaten the buns, then you have to show proof. Where's the evidence?”

Coach Sun took a glass of water over to them and asked, “Whose is this?”

“Mine,” Yao Tiao replied.

“What's inside here?”

Under the light, they could see pieces of bread crumbs floating in the glass.

“…”

“Everyone from Dormitory 101 will gather outside. We'll go for a five-kilometer jog.”

Wu Mengran let out a cry of victory and glared at Yao Tiao gloatingly.

Ye Erruo and the rest had already had a tough day. Now, they had to drag their swollen feet across the training field in the dark for five more kilometers.

“That Wu Mengran! I'm not gonna let her get away with this! She just has to wait and see!” Yao Tiao burst out angrily.

“Ahh… I can't run anymore.”

“You better keep up, or you won't get to eat if you don't finish this five-kilometer run,” Coach Sun warned her without any hint of mercy.

With the cold wind blowing against them, the six of them ran the required distance on their heavy, laden feet. By the time they reached the hostel, everyone else was fast asleep.

At about four in the morning, they were all woken up by a screeching alarm clock.

“Everyone has to gather at the training ground for the morning run in ten minutes.”

“What! Isn't it still early?” Yao Tiao buried her head deeper into the sheets.

“I'm so sleepy…”

It had been midnight by the time they'd finished the night run. Now, after a full day of harsh physical training, they were expected to get up after barely sleeping for three to four hours?

“Latecomers will have to bear the consequences.”

Ye Erruo sniffed hard through her stuffy nose and called out to the rest, “Quick, get up, everyone! Quick!”

Her haggard look and dark circles were apparent as she called for the rest of her mates to get up.

The sky had not yet turned bright at four o'clock in the early morning. The cloudy sky seemed to hint at a pending rainstorm. Everyone looked lifeless and weak as they stood amid the damp weather.

“Everyone, line up and run for one hour.”

“What!” everyone thought.

“Hungry. We're hungry,” a few girls protested.

“After the morning run, proceed to have sit-ups before breakfast,” Chen Zhanxiao said, his face devoid of expression.

“We're dying. We are going to die for sure.”

For three weeks, this was their daily routine: morning run, push-ups, sit-ups, and the likes. The first assignment they were given after this harsh training regime was archery.
