Chapter 214: A Show of Force

A private dormitory, an independent bathroom—this treatment, since Liu Xiaotian transmigrated to this world, is still the first time he has enjoyed it.

Although he had already grown tired of staying in five-star hotels, the moment he walked into this room, Liu Xiaotian still felt a sense of satisfaction.

Strictly speaking, this room is just the standard of a budget hotel, but for Liu Xiaotian now, it is far better than the many-star hotels he has stayed in before.

Because, this is a kind of acknowledgment for himself! The Chief Instructor remained as terse as ever, merely telling Liu Xiaotian to change into the clothes prepared for him and go downstairs immediately, while he himself went downstairs to wait.

Looking at the brand-new instructor uniform laid out on the bedside, Liu Xiaotian felt a little excited.

From being shocked when he first heard the news, to now having a little excitement and anticipation, it must be said that Liu Xiaotian's adaptability is truly strong.

If judged by the system's standards, his psychological endurance and adaptability have definitely surpassed 'Level One'.

Liu Xiaotian instinctively nodded, slipped the car key into his pocket, and followed behind the Chief Instructor toward the formation.

At one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'

However, whether you remember or not is not important; what matters is that from today on, I am your combat instructor.

"Now, based on the groups you have already formed, begin the combat assessment before my training starts."

In fact, as Liu Xiaotian had guessed, among these elite soldiers from around the world, a large portion actually harbored resentment toward this young Eastern face before them.

Beside him, the Chief Instructor saw this scene, a faint glint flashing in his eyes.

However, compared to the upcoming training, this situation before them, for Liu Xiaotian who possesses absolute emotional intelligence and is accustomed to various non‑combative workplace struggles, really isn't anything.

Liu Xiaotian knew that if he showed even a hint of anger at this moment, he would lose.

Otherwise, everything is nonsense.

This let Liu Xiaotian once again recognize the differences between East and West.

After putting on his clothes, Liu Xiaotian immediately went downstairs, got into the Chief Instructor's open‑top Jeep, and headed straight for the training field.

When he said this, Liu Xiaotian estimated that he paused for a moment.

He had thought the Chief Instructor would, according to convention, first introduce his current identity to everyone, but he didn't expect that the Chief Instructor had no such intention at all, walking straight to his own chair where he could lie down and sunbathe, and sat down.

It is obvious that these elite soldiers from around the world are, in what they consider the best way, giving him embarrassment. If it were someone else, at least there should have been a brief round of applause.

Liu Xiaotian's gaze swept over the four squadrons in turn, and he issued the second command of 'Instructor Liu': 'Assume combat formation, disperse!'

"Before yesterday, we were all the same—trainees—but my name wasn't known to many;"

Furthermore, even out of courtesy, these guys have already given him a silent 'show of force' when dismounting, and he must return the favor.

After he finished speaking, the formation remained as calm as before, with not a single sound.

When getting out of the car, the Chief Instructor directly tossed the key to him and said lightly, 'This car is yours from now on.'

And Liu Xiaotian, at this moment, basically had no mood to ponder the Chief Instructor's thoughts.

Moreover, no one knows what this Chief Instructor, whose face rarely shows any expression, is thinking. Now, let me formally introduce myself: my name is Liu Xiaotian;

Liu Xiaotian: ……

"Damn it, is that it? Is saying a few words really that hard? But having been 'forced onto the shelf,' if he stays silent now, he'll never be able to hold the instructor position—who would obey him? After hesitating only 0.5 seconds, Liu Xiaotian strode to the center of the formation, faced over two hundred eyes, and spoke in a deep voice, beginning with a self‑introduction:"

As for winning people over, that absolutely requires strength as its foundation.

The soldiers promptly obeyed his command, quickly spreading out on the drill ground and taking up positions in pairs for combat.

The formation quickly split into four, still without a single person speaking.

It seems that, at least before this batch of trainees graduates, my days of wits and courage have only just begun.

But there wasn't.

The news that Liu Xiaotian would become an instructor had already been announced to all the trainees before this morning's training began.

The standard: defeat the opponent in front of you.

According to his line of thinking, in such a situation there should normally be whispering or restlessness among the ranks.

At this moment Liu Xiaotian realized that his earlier thoughts had seriously underestimated these 'elite soldiers'.

However…… it seems that this situation of utter silence is actually even more awkward than a noisy discussion……

If this were placed in his original world, let alone fellow trainees suddenly becoming instructors, even if a classmate suddenly became a student‑council official, they would inevitably face all kinds of criticism—let alone this special mix of soldiers from around the world.

Even if they harbored resentment toward him, who was once a fellow trainee but suddenly became an instructor, they would never express it in such a base way.

"Now, I order you to immediately split into four groups, divided according to your current positions in the ranks!" Two seconds later, Liu Xiaotian issued his first command after donning the instructor uniform.

It is worth mentioning that these hand‑trained soldiers, truly the elite picked from each nation, may have grievances, but they obey orders immediately, without any deliberate delay.

Having finished speaking, he was about to turn and walk toward the already‑formed trainees when he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned back, and added: 'The canopy can be raised, and moreover, this car's tires are bullet‑proof; in this compound, only six people have such a vehicle.'

Since ancient times, in the military the strong are revered; without absolute strength, wanting to earn everyone's submission can only be an forever‑unrealizable wish.

Everyone says a new official brings three blazing fires; since Liu Xiaotian has already figured out these soldiers' thoughts, he naturally cannot just meet them briefly, announce 'I am now your instructor,' and call it a day.

The penalty for the losers: carry a thirty‑kilogram load, run twenty kilometers over beach and mountain terrain, time limit seventy minutes; those who fail to complete it lose dinner.

Just as he had anticipated, once he finished saying that, the ranks finally erupted in a somewhat chaotic sound.

However, nobody raised a loud protest; they only whispered among themselves.

Regarding this, 'Instructor Liu' expressed, very satisfied……
