After Marking Commander O, I was Forced to a Flash Marriage

Chapter 10

— You can guess it slowly.

As Bai Yuxi heard her low voice, she momentarily froze.

She felt Ren Qingqiu’s warm breath leaving warmth on her skin, making her instinctively take a step back as if she had been burned.

Watching Bai Yuxi’s seemingly angry expression, Ren Qingqiu couldn’t help but smile with delight.

She initially wanted to say something to tease her, but before she could speak, the sound of a bell rang out from outside.

The two turned to look in the direction of the ringing bell.

“Oh, class is starting,” Ren Qingqiu said first.

It wasn’t a lie that she had come this way on her way to class. As soon as she heard the sound, she set her gun aside and walked leisurely outside.

“I need to hurry and leave,” she said as she walked, not forgetting to tease Bai Yuxi a bit, “so I don’t get caught by some fierce instructor and end up standing in punishment for a month.”

Bai Yuxi was more than happy to see someone as undisciplined as her leave quickly and didn’t stop her at all.

Without saying a word, she picked up the gun that Ren Qingqiu had put down, turned her back, and resumed preparing for the selection exam.

Yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that Ren Qingqiu’s breath lingered in her ear, refusing to dissipate.

The afternoon selection exam left Bai Yuxi in a foul mood.

The exam assessed candidates based on their speed in assembling different firearms and their accuracy in shooting practice.

The practice was divided into static and dynamic tests, as well as a simulated test for adaptability, using holograms to create varying real-life scenarios.

Although these assessments didn’t fully reflect a person’s abilities, they were the best current indicators of shooting talent.

There were sixty candidates participating in the test.

Zhou Shuyu, a fourth-year remote student, was highly recommended by the head instructor of the remote program. Before the test began, he had been enthusiastically promoting him to Bai Yuxi multiple times, so she spent the afternoon observing him.

However, Bai Yuxi was quite disappointed with his performance.

During the afternoon test, she stood behind him intentionally to apply some pressure, but he made frequent mistakes, stumbled, and ultimately wasted too much time barely hitting the target.

Bai Yuxi was dissatisfied with such results.

The league involved many unpredictable situations.

This exam tested a person’s ability to respond to issues, a warrior’s psychological resilience, and the winner needed more than just exceptional skills. They had to excel in all areas.

If someone could become anxious, tense, or lose their composure just because a serious person was standing behind them, how would they react during the league?

The league would undoubtedly be more complex than a practice simulation. Bai Yuxi had participated before, so it wasn’t hard to imagine how this person would fare under pressure.

Additionally, Ren Qingqiu’s performance made Bai Yuxi subconsciously compare the two.

Ren Qingqiu’s relaxed attitude contrasted sharply with this person’s timid demeanor.

Bai Yuxi silently watched everyone finish their tests.

Even though she wanted to consider the remote instructor’s opinions, it was difficult for her to include this candidate in her selection.

In this exam, two candidates met the requirements, with the standout performer being a student who was usually inconspicuous in class but displayed consistent performance.

This student was surnamed Xiao and had a mental strength rating of B.

This result aligned perfectly with what the Alpha standing in punishment on the training ground had said.
