The instructor then cleared his throat.

“If you dare to play tricks again, the four of you will pack up and leave!”

The instructor did not really want to expel Zhao Rui and the others. Many recruits could not handle their internal affairs well when they first arrived. This was not a reason to expel students. The instructor just wanted to test the unity and cohesion of the recruits.

Those in the same dormitory were one entity. If these recruits ignored their companions in order to avoid punishment, then the instructor would eventually double the punishment for Zhao Rui and the others.

It was a relief that the instructor was still satisfied with the performance of Zhao Rui and the others.

Knowing that he would not be expelled, Chi Heng was a little emotional and almost cried.

He quickly walked up to the instructor and assured him, “Instructor! Don’t worry, I will not play any tricks in the future.”

“I will definitely put an end to it!”

The instructor continued sternly, “There is one more thing. The internal affairs will be checked tomorrow. All of you must pass, or else you will be punished even more!”

“Understood, instructor, don’t worry.”

“We will definitely become the best in handling internal affairs at Odin Academy!” Zhao Rui and the others assured the instructor.

However..

It was easier said than done.

After returning to the dormitory, Chi Heng, Bai Xiaofei, and Zhang Cheng frowned at the quilt on the bed again.

“Brother Zhao, how do you fold the Quilt? Quickly teach us.”

“If the internal affairs are not handled properly tomorrow, all of us will be punished.”

“Brother Zhao, as long as you are willing to teach us, we will take turns washing your socks.” The three looked at Zhao Rui for help and tempted him with the motion of washing socks.

Brother Zhao? Washing socks? When would he be able to enjoy such treatment?

Zhao Rui was overjoyed.

However, Zhao Rui tried his best to hide his pride and said humbly, “We’re all brothers in the same dormitory. It’s my duty to teach you, I don’t need anything in return.”

As he said this, Zhao Rui got down from the bed and stretched lazily. “Folding a quilt is very simple. You can learn it after watching carefully.”

Zhao Rui quickly spread out the neatly made quilt that looked like piece of tofu on his bed.

Chi Heng, Bai Xiaofei, and Zhang Cheng immediately surrounded him and carefully observed how Zhao Rui folded the quilt.

Zhao Rui’s two strong hands shook the quilt twice in the air and quickly spread the quilt on the bed.

Then, Zhao Rui folded the quilt into three sections and pushed out the excess air in the quilt. He folded the two ends of the quilt and then used his hands to make a 90-degree angle on the rounded edges.

In the last step, he folded the two ends of the quilt together and then made a slight adjustment.

In less than a minute, after Zhao Rui folded the quilt, it was shaped like a neat piece of tofu.

“This, this is too fast.”

“Yes, Brother Zhao, we can only see it clearly if you fold it slowly.”

Chi Heng and Zhang Cheng didn’t seem to understand it, so they urged Zhao Rui to demonstrate it again.

Zhao Rui didn’t refuse and continued to demonstrate to his roommates in slow motion.

This time, the three roommates were somewhat familiar with the steps Zhao Rui took to fold the quilt.

Bai Xiaofei said confidently, “It’s not that difficult. I should be able to learn it.”

The three of them started to fold their own quilts.

But when Zhao Rui saw the quilts being folded one by one, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Chi Heng had made some progress, but Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Cheng were even worse than they were this morning.

“Bai Xiaofei, is this what you meant by learning?”

“I, I…”

Bai Xiaofei felt very awkward and couldn’t even finish his sentence.

At this moment, the sound of coughing came from outside the dormitory.

This attractive voice was familiar to Zhao Rui and the others, because the senior had just come to their dormitory yesterday.

The seniors in military uniforms were standing at the door of their dormitory, and the person in the lead was He Jian.

And one of the seniors was holding a few military uniforms.

“Hello, seniors!”

Seeing He Jian and the other seniors standing outside, Zhao Rui and the others immediately put down the quilts in their hands and greeted the seniors respectfully.

“We’re practicing folding quilts.”

Bai Xiaofei immediately said, “We’re making good use of our time to practice. The instructor told us that if we still fail the internal affairs tomorrow, he’ll double the punishment.”

He Jian and the other seniors quickly glanced at the folded quilts of the recruits.

When they saw Bai Xiaofei and Zhang Cheng’s quilts, a few seniors could not help but smile bitterly.

Seeing these unqualified quilts, they could not help but recall the incident when they first entered the Military Academy. When they were still recruits, they had also been punished by the instructor for failing the internal affairs inspection.

However, when He Jian and the other seniors looked at Zhao Rui’s quilt, their eyes lit up.

“Hmm There are some good ones in your dormitory. Is this Zhao Rui’s bed?” The seniors asked to confirm.

He Jian came to this dormitory yesterday, he had some impression of each person’s bed.

Zhao Rui stood at attention and immediately answered, “Sir, I folded it.”

“Then you will be the class monitor. In the future, if the internal affairs of your dormitory are not up to standard, I will hold you responsible.”

“Yes senior! Don’t worry, I will definitely teach everyone how to organize their internal affairs.”

Actually, even without the senior’s instructions, Zhao Rui would also do the same. From the very beginning, he had decided to share the good and bad with his roommates. This was because they were not only a team, but also students of Odin Academy. In the future, they would definitely be outstanding soldiers who would take on the responsibility of protecting their country. They felt supreme glory for this.

And now that Zhao Rui had been appointed as the class monitor, he had a big responsibility and a long way to go.

He would definitely take good care of his three roommates from now on.

Chi Heng and the other two had absolutely no objection to Zhao Rui being appointed as the class monitor.

Although they had only known each other for less than a day, Zhao Rui had left a good impression on them, not to mention that the three of them were now asking Zhao Rui to teach them how to fold quilts.

“Cherish this period of time. You must learn to organize internal affairs well today! After the uniforms are given out, we will start the formal training tomorrow,” the instructor ordered.

He Jian and the others had indeed carried out another round of surprise checks on internal affairs when they came to the freshmen dormitory this time.

Although it had been a day since they entered the school, the freshmen had not put on their military uniforms yet.

The more important task of the instructors was to give the freshmen military uniforms.

The military uniforms of the Military Academy were tailored for each freshman during the physical examination. They even had unique numbers on them.

Zhang Cheng’s eyes widened when he saw the military uniforms in the hands of the seniors.

It turned out that Zhang Cheng’s father was also a soldier in the past. Unfortunately, his father had died in his early years.

Zhao Rui couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes either.

However, Chi Heng, Bai Xiaofei couldn’t understand why Zhang Cheng was so excited.

Zhao Rui and Zhang Cheng’s parents were both soldiers. Under the influence of their families, they had yearned for military uniforms since they were young.

A senior handed the four uniforms to Zhao Rui, and then left for the next dormitory.

“Zhao Rui! Quickly give me my uniform, let me see how handsome I look in it!”

Once the seniors left, Zhang Cheng couldn’t hold it in anymore. He rushed to Zhao Rui excitedly and was about to take his uniform away.

But Zhao Rui refused Zhang Cheng.

“Wait, have you forgotten that the most important thing now is to practice folding quilts?”

Zhang Cheng begged, “Zhao Rui, give me my uniform, let me wear it, and I’ll practice folding quilts right away.”

Zhang Cheng’s eyes were filled with desire as he looked at the uniform.

“No, have you forgotten that I’m the class monitor now? Those who can’t learn how to fold quilts don’t have the right to wear a uniform!”

Zhao Rui had to wait for his roommates to learn how to fold quilts before giving them the uniform..
