Qin Ke Xuan straightened and returned a military salute.

The two tough guys, young and inexperienced to begin with, at seeing a fellow female comrade joining them were beyond excited. When they finally saw her face, they were immediately blinded by her fair skin.

Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen females for too long, coupled with the fact that Qin Ke Xuan had a cool elegance to her to begin with, a shade of red gradually climbed onto the two glisteningly tanned faces as they shouted loudly: "We will be showing you the way!"

"I can hear you even if you're softer." Qin Ke Xuan frowned. With both parties standing very near, their loud shout had her ears ringing.

The two of them rubbed their noses, embarrassed. After staying for a long time in SF, everyone had essentially become rough and rugged, and shouted at the top of their lungs for the tiniest of reasons. If they were too soft, their officer might just very well go: "X km cross country running, everyone's included."

"I have inconvenienced you two for showing the way." Qin Ke Xuan tugged on the shoulder strap of her bag as she said to them.

"The Lieutenant Colonel and Hé Company Commander are currently in the field, we'll bring you over." The slightly taller SF soldier said. "Do you need us to help you hold your bag?" He just saw the Qin Ke Xuan, who was only until his shoulders, carrying such a large bag. Hence, he asked out of concern.

"No need. I'm an SF soldier as well." Qin Ke Xuan reminded him. She was here to train, not to tour the place and play like a lady miss.

"Hehe, you don't look like those burly female soldiers at all." This SF soldier was comparably more vibrant and outgoing. Excitedly, he started chatting with Qin Ke Xuan. "When I first received the order to pick up a female soldier, I'd thought she'd definitely be a valiant sista. Who knew she'd be a xiao mei mei (I actually wanted to say loli)! You look like those female soldiers from the Arts Troupe."

"Arts Troupe?"

The taller one thought Qin Ke Xuan was unhappy to be thought as a part of the Arts Troupe, hence, he immediately explained: "Those female soldiers only know how to dance and sing, how can they compare up to you! Female soldiers ought to be brave and mighty, singing and dancing are too sissy!"

At his words, his companions by his side shot him looks of disdain. This chap's been longing for the Arts Troupe people to come over to perform even in his dreams, but he's actually scoffing at the Arts Troupe in front of a beauty now? When they caught the opportunity to tease him about this afterwards, his reply was: Are you guys idiots! The Arts Troupe come once in a blue moon, and they're gone before we can even properly see them! But Qin Ke Xuan was different, she's our comrade. She's training with us every day, and as we train and train, maybe we can even train out some feelings, be it kinship or relationship. The chances to develop some feelings are a lot higher with her than with those arrogant Arts Troupe female soldiers!

Qin Ke Xuan followed them to the training arena. Wu Lieutenant Colonel and Hé Company Commander, along with two other company commanders, were standing on the podium looking at the SF soldier training in the training arena. At seeing the two SF soldiers bringing Qin Ke Xuan over, they started chatting.

"That is the new lass that's joining our Tercel Battalion. She's quite a decent one."

"Wu Lieutenant Colonel, I heard that lass' still in high school year one. Isn't that a little..."

"That doesn't matter. There are exceptions to everything. You need to know that the prime time of women is very short. It's good the lass' coming in early."
