Chapter 306: Club Recruitment
"Everyone, sit!" the instructor shouted at the boys in the company.
Amidst a chorus of "Ouch" and "Damn it" groans, the boys were finally liberated.
"You're done for after just this little bit of volume? It's only the second day, there's still a long way to go!" the instructor said with a chuckle as he watched the boys' state.
"We lay around at home for too long after the college entrance exam; our bodies have deteriorated."
"It's been a long time since I've suffered such exhaustion."
"Staying up all night playing games isn't as tiring as standing here for half an hour."
"There are still over ten days left."
The boys sprawled on the ground, complaining one after another. The nearby companies were basically in the same state; only a few boys with superior physical fitness could maintain a calm expression.
During military training, there are always a few "top students" who stand out. Some might be born with a strong personality and dislike exposing their soft side in front of others.
Others simply want to show off their extraordinary qualities through such methods to gain the attention of others.
Classes with such students often appear quite amusing.
However, generally speaking, everyone's emotions were still restrained. After all, school had just started, people weren't familiar with each other yet, and the school grounds hadn't even been warmed up, so they were still quite reserved in front of the girls.
However, once Luo Quan appeared, no boy could remain reserved any longer.
"Hello, Instructor. I am the monitor for the boys in this class. May I take this opportunity to distribute their student cards and meal cards?" Luo Quan walked up to the instructor and asked very politely.
"I'll do it." The instructor didn't think much of it and took the bag, intending to hand out the cards.
The boys were suddenly stirred up:
"Let the monitor do it!"
"How can we trouble the instructor with such a small matter?"
"Please, definitely let the monitor do it!"
The instructor smiled and frowned: "You brats, I didn't see you being this proactive during training?"
Scolding aside, the instructor was still quite understanding. He turned to look at Luo Quan: "How about... you do it?"
Luo Quan smiled: "That works too."
The boys cheered.
Luo Quan took out a large stack of cards and called out names according to the information on them: "Li Xuan."
The boy who was called flipped over and climbed up from the ground. Where could one see even half a trace of exhaustion? He was simply full of vigor.
Li Xuan trotted all the way to Luo Quan, took the card, and said, "Thank you, Monitor!"
Luo Quan responded with a smile.
A company has nearly sixty people, but Luo Quan's class only has twenty-something boys, so the boys from other classes looked at the boys in the Vocal Pop class with envious eyes.
Of course, the boys in the neighboring companies were the same.
So much so that while Luo Quan was handing out cards, all the boys around were staring at her, and some even took out their phones to take photos and videos.
The twenty-something cards were handed out quickly, but her task for today wasn't over yet; she still had to come and take photos for her classmates in the evening.
Military training is the first lesson for university students and also a lesson with great commemorative significance. Such an important journey definitely needs someone to record it.
Usually, in this situation, the counselor would take the photos, but Counselor Xu leads many classes, and it just so happened that Luo Quan didn't need to undergo military training, so the task fell to her.
Although Counselor Xu's previous words, "Being a monitor definitely won't be very busy," had become empty talk, there was no other way.
Either don't be a monitor, or if you are a monitor, you can only strive to do things to the best of your ability. This is a kind of responsibility.
So, after resting in the dormitory for most of the afternoon and finishing dinner, Luo Quan strolled to the playground again.
Actually, this lifestyle is much healthier than her previous habit of not stepping out of the door. Breathing more fresh air and walking more is definitely much healthier than playing games and phones all day.
Luo Quan herself knows this truth, but as soon as she lies on the bed and starts playing with her phone, she is too lazy to move again. During these days of summer vacation, for a long time, her mobile step count didn't exceed ten steps.
Every time she falls asleep, she thinks in her heart that she must exercise tomorrow and play with her phone less!
As a result, when she wakes up the next day, all these resolutions are thrown to the back of her mind.
Fortunately, after entering university, there are teachers who arrange tasks for her, letting her go out and walk around more, which can be considered a good thing.
The evening training is relatively much easier than during the day. After dinner, it's not suitable to engage in any high-intensity training, so after letting everyone stand in military posture for a while and practicing marching, they were arranged to sing songs themselves.
For the first half-hour, the instructor teaches the students to sing those military songs from the army, learning two a day, and the remaining time is arranged by the students themselves.
Luo Quan has been sitting next to the company where her class is located, taking a few photos with her phone from time to time.
Not long after, the seniors from the student clubs arrived.
There are still a few days until club recruitment. Today, they came to do promotion, which can also be understood as a cultural performance, where various clubs come up to perform talents to attract freshmen.
The chief instructor of the military training is still quite enlightened, feeling that training and entertainment are both indispensable. Now that someone has come to help him mobilize the students' emotions, he is naturally more than happy to have it.
The sound system started connecting on the podium, and the freshmen below also gathered under the podium. The remaining staff from the student clubs started distributing flyers in each company.
Luo Quan got one in her hand; it was from the Music Club.
Because the lighting wasn't particularly sufficient, the senior who gave her the flyer didn't seem to recognize her. After handing the flyer to her, he said, "Classmate, check out the Shangyi Music Club," and went to promote to the next freshman.
If she had the intention of joining a club before being a monitor, now she basically has no plans in this regard.
The monitor's tasks can be said to be the most burdensome in the whole class. If she joins a club, she will definitely be busy. If there is a conflict in work at that time, she really doesn't know how to choose.
So now that she is a monitor, clubs and such should just be forgotten.
Folding the flyer and stuffing it into her pocket, Luo Quan watched the performances brought to them by the seniors with peace of mind.
The students of Shangyi have nothing to say in terms of talent; they have a wide range of interests, and their levels are all quite good.
Street dance, ballet, folk dance, traditional martial arts... etc. There are quite a lot of talent types, and the seniors who performed are all quite high-looking. Every time they go on stage, they can trigger huge cheers from below.
As an art school that focuses on music and performance, performance might not be easy to display on this kind of stage, but music definitely cannot be missing.
The previous ones were all appetizers. After the seniors from the Conservatory of Music went on stage, the excitement of the welcome activity had just begun.
Pop, bel canto, folk, various types, various singing methods. There were a few songs with relatively high popularity, which even triggered a chorus from the freshmen.
However, happy times are always relatively short. Although everyone was very hyped about the music performance in general, the total time of being hyped was less than half an hour, and they hadn't really had enough.
"Did you enjoy listening to the songs?" The chief instructor's voice was loud, but his tone sounded quite good, not as strict as during the day.
"Not enough!"
"Want to hear more!"
"One more song?!"
The boys below shouted.
With such a lively atmosphere, everyone definitely wanted to keep it going. After all, in university, there aren't many opportunities for such large gatherings where they sit together with girls.
The chief instructor smiled: "You shout 'one more' so lightly, aren't the seniors who performed for you tired?"
"Let the freshmen do it!"
I don't know who suddenly said that. The voice was extremely loud, and it didn't sound like a student, but rather like an instructor.
"Freshmen?" The chief instructor thought about it carefully; this is a good idea. "Then which freshman is willing to come up and show off? It doesn't matter if you don't sing well; having the courage is a good thing!"
The company next to Luo Quan was already boiling. The shout "Let the freshmen do it" just now was shouted by the instructor of this company.
The boys who received divine assistance naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, directly shouting Luo Quan's name with the greatest strength of their lives. Nearby companies also accompanied with sharp, monkey-like excited screams.
"It seems this classmate named Luo Quan is very famous; the students are all asking you to come up and perform." The chief instructor naturally heard the commotion and immediately followed the trend: "Then let's invite classmate Luo Quan to come up and perform a program for everyone."
These words resounded through the playground along with the sound system. The students in the back who felt a bit bored and had already started playing with their phones immediately raised their heads, eagerly asking the classmates next to them what happened.
Luo Quan herself was also a bit dumbfounded. She was just sitting below taking videos properly. Who knew she would be backstabbed by the instructor, who pushed her to the stage in a few words.
Hearing more and more calls, Luo Quan, who was forced onto the stage, could only bite the bullet and run to the podium.
Seeing that blonde beauty on the podium, both boys and girls let out exclamations.
It is no secret that Luo Quan is a freshman this year, but although they know she is a classmate of the same year, most people actually haven't seen her in person yet.
Such a star now truly appeared before their eyes, just twenty or thirty meters away. Those with good eyesight could even see the Chanel brand logo rising and falling on her T-shirt.
"Are you an international student?" The chief instructor obviously didn't recognize Luo Quan. This is also the first reaction of most people when they see Luo Quan, thinking she is a foreigner.
Luo Quan explained: "I am Chinese, mixed-race."
"Seeing that you came out of the freshman company, are you a freshman? Why aren't you wearing a military uniform?" The chief instructor saw the clothes on Luo Quan clearly, and his expression became serious.
Play is play, trouble is trouble, the rules that military training should have must still be there.
"I am an exchange student, no need for military training." Luo Quan explained hurriedly.
The chief instructor nodded with peace of mind: "How come all the freshmen know you? They are all shouting your name. Are you a star?"
The chief instructor doesn't know Luo Quan, but he is quite clear about Shangyi. In previous years, he was also responsible for Shangyi's military training. There are countless stars and artists who have come out of here, and it's not that there are no people who became famous at a young age and came here to study.
"I guess so, I can only say I'm slightly famous." Luo Quan was quite humble.
The audience below burst into laughter. If this is slightly famous, then in the entire Chinese music circle, there are not many who can be called famous.
"Just an eighteenth-tier singer."
"A well-known comedy artist."
"A famous pigeon on Bilibili, whose main job is playing League of Legends."
"The streamer's cooking skills are very strong, quite appetizing!"
There were Luo Quan's Bilibili fans below, who directly started popularizing science.
The chief instructor didn't understand these young people's things either, but seeing Luo Quan so popular, he safely handed the stage and microphone to her.
Luo Quan took the microphone, thinking about what to sing, when a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Today is my first time performing in school, in front of classmates, so I'm still very nervous. Therefore, I hope a big star can come up and lead me." As she said this, Luo Quan suddenly said loudly: "Please invite Wen Xia to come on stage and perform with me!"
Below the stage, Wen Xia, who was smiling and watching how Luo Quan was going to mess around for everyone, was directly dumbfounded.
After Luo Quan's reminder, everyone remembered that there was more than one star among the freshmen, and there was also Wen Xia. The two were famous sister flowers in the entertainment industry.
A good opportunity should naturally not be missed. The boys naturally shouted Wen Xia's name again.
Although Luo Quan is already their wife, who would complain about having too many beautiful wives?
Wen Xia, who was forcibly pushed onto the podium by Luo Quan, pouted, hugged Luo Quan's waist from behind, and twisted half a circle after finding the ticklish spot.
Luo Quan held back her laughter, stood to the side, and dodged her magic claws.
When the two perform together, they must choose something everyone knows.
According to the requirements of the students below, dance first and then sing.
Wen Xia can't dance "Gokuraku Jodo," and the four-language song isn't suitable for this occasion, so Luo Quan and Wen Xia danced "Gee."
This is also one of the two dances Luo Quan knows how to dance.
Although the song "Gee" has already been branded with Girls' Generation and has become their signature famous song, sweeping major online platforms in China, Japan, and South Korea, it has also become a compulsory course for all dance uploaders.
But the "Gee" that Girls' Generation learned was brought by Wen Xia and Luo Quan together. In other words, when it comes to dancing this dance, the two of them are the grandmasters.
Especially those leg-swinging movements and crab steps in "Gee" that can be called the essence, all were redeemed by Luo Quan from the mall. Although she has no dance foundation, she can still dance to the same level as Wen Xia.
So, after the music for "Gee" began, the two of them delivered a top-tier girl group dance performance, with a level of synchronization that could be called the best in Asia.
The most surprised were probably Luo Quan's fans; absolutely no one expected that Luo Quan would dance to "Gee" so well.
Although Luo Quan had danced to "Seve" and "Gokuraku Jodo" before, those were just things where a few dance steps were fused together and didn't count as complete.
But this time, she danced a complete modern dance, and the movements were quite clean and crisp, while also possessing aesthetic beauty.
Because Wen Xia was wearing a military uniform with long sleeves and long pants, although they were thin, from this far away, one couldn't really see anything.
To stay cool, Luo Quan was wearing a T-shirt and hot pants today; the boys off-stage stared straight at those long legs that were constantly moving and shimmering with a dazzling white light, their mouths almost watering.
The more wonderful a performance is, the more the audience always feels that time passes too quickly when it stops.
This brilliant dance lasted only a few short minutes before it ended.
