go ahead, be late.

Hardin's pov:

"1500 pistol squats and a couple hundred pushups.
You're dismissed for the day after the count.
Do it before 2000hrs and you can have dinner as well."
Major Sam's voice boomed after our today's training was over.
Well not exactly over yet though.

Yes sir .
We all shout in unison.

He walks out of the ground after that.

Thankfully no extra night duties today.

Major Chris is going to go even harder on me from tomorrow.

I just hope things don't go too south around him.

Taking a deep breath I command to start the pistol squats .

After an exhausting day these can be really painful.
But what is to be done is to be done there is no other way to it.

I have to orient the juniors too tonight

I was thinking of the peace garden , but it might get too extreme .

I need to know why the hell were the two late!?

We did the numbers and went to mess after showering and changing in the shower rooms.

We'll never dare to go into the mess dirty and sweaty.

We don't have an after dinner session 'usually' , when we have upcoming exams.

And trust me I'm going to make full use of the time.

After dinner I call the entire 2nd year batch and sc of 3rd year to the community hall in the dorm building.

7 of us walk into the room which has pin drop silence and all the boys standing in perfect posture.

They salute us once we stand in front of them.

We take our seats , leaving the boys in attention.

°ryan°

The third year sc steps forward and salutes.

'Sir.'

°one of your juniors was late to major samuel's lesson today. You know that?°

'Yes sir' he says keeping a perfect posture.

Every senior has a mentee, he is mine.
Because he is an SC too

° why could his seniors not teach him properly?°
That question includes us too but he cannot question me .
And there is no real answer to that question

'Apol-'
Not that easy!

°nuh uh kid that ain't the answer.°

' we were not strict enough sir.'

°never heard anyone stating their incompetence that confidently. Great°

He bends his neck in embarrassment.

No matter what he does or says he is in for a ride .

°get in handstand ,I'll talk to you.°
I tell Ryan and he immediately gets into position.

°and you have to be fucking kidding me Steve ° I say with a laugh with no mirth.

'Sir?' He looks confused and pale .
He knows it is not good.

° who the fuck do you think you are defying orders like that!!!°

He still looks confused.
Christ! This is infuriating!!!

°orly !! Get the cane°
The second year sc rushed and got me the cane.
