The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Chapter 5380

Aurous Hill University, at this very moment.

On the vibrant playground, thousands of freshmen from different colleges and departments were being divided into various squares for their military training.

The rigorous 14-day training had just commenced today.

Many of the freshmen still felt uneasy about the intense paramilitary exercises. Both boys and girls were brimming with complaints.

The scorching sun showed no mercy, its intense heat punishing the newly enrolled freshmen who had just embarked on their first year of studies.

A sudden explosion of thunder from the southwest startled all the students on the field. They turned their gaze towards the dark clouds, and a sense of hidden joy swept over most of them.

They speculated that perhaps a sudden downpour was imminent.

Everyone felt that if heavy rain did fall, the training at this moment would most likely be suspended, granting everyone a much-needed respite.

After all, training in the rain was far more bearable than enduring the searing heat of the sun.

The students eagerly awaited with hopeful anticipation as a grouping of menacing clouds consolidated in the southwest, yearning for the sky to darken and envelop them in its shadow.

As everyone looked southwest with anticipation, Maria stared blankly at the dark cloud, furrowing her brow.

Something about the dark cloud seemed peculiar to her.

At that moment, Claudia, standing beside her, couldn’t resist whispering, “Cathy, if it rains, maybe we can get an early break!”

Claudia, having lived abroad, lacked understanding of and psychological preparation for the tradition of military training for college freshmen.

She imagined it to be like a summer camp, with laughter and games, and the fourteen days passing by joyfully. However, the intense paramilitary training lasting two weeks proved to be a challenging adjustment for her. After a morning on her feet, she ended up with painful blisters, exacerbating her struggle.

Therefore, she secretly hoped that the military training could be temporarily halted, allowing her to relax.

Maria shook her head upon hearing Claudia’s words and replied calmly, “I don’t think it will rain.”

Claudia persisted, saying, “With such vast clouds and such loud thunder, it’s evident that there’s intense convective weather, rain is not out of the question. We could even have hailstorms! Let’s keep our hopes up. Maybe our wish will come true!”

Maria forced a smile tinged with sadness and whispered, “To be honest, I hope for this rain more than anyone else.”

The instructor noticed that many people were whispering and speculating about whether it would rain. He shouted disapprovingly, “Everyone, no whispering! Today, even if you were under the knife, you must continue training!”

Complaints filled the air.

At that moment, everyone observed the dark clouds in the southwest gradually dispersing, and the thunder did not resound again.

Claudia couldn’t help expressing her disappointment, “Such massive dark clouds, and they’re dissipating after just one thunderclap?”

It was then that Maria declared, “I need to go to the bathroom.”

The instructor, upon hearing this, stopped insisting and waved his hand. “Go! Hurry back!”
