On the very first day of military training, I made our class's beloved flower do three squats for being late. In return, I received a letter of complaint signed by all 50 students in the class.
“Our entire Class One of Information Technology jointly reports Instructor Lin from Company One!”
“She not only fawns over men, she's jealous of pretty girls and deliberately targets them with physical punishment! Unless she apologizes publicly, our whole class will refuse to attend military training!”
I thought there must have been some misunderstanding, so that evening I gathered the class to explain myself again.
I told them I'd made the class darling do three squats because she was late.
But she burst into tears, gasping for breath.
“So you think it's fine to physically punish me? Do you have any idea how much public humiliation has harmed me, both physically and mentally?”
The others angrily berated me too. “That old woman still has the nerve to argue! She's just jealous that Jiaqi is pretty, so she resorted to such underhanded tactics!”
“Everyone should report her together! Let her get a taste of what it's like to be punished!”
All 50 of them banded together and said they wouldn't attend the next two weeks of training. They wanted my superiors to punish me.
I calmly watched the students shouting threats at me and smiled.
They might have forgotten that military training earns credits.
And I had the authority to grade them.
I wonder what faces they'll make when training ends, they discover their credits have been deducted, and they face repeating the year or even expulsion.
