SOTUS first-year

Finally came the long-awaited day of the first year of the engineering school.

For nearly two months, everyone received harsh freshmen training, practiced singing, was punished, and was subjected to high-pressure policies by senior seniors.But everything is coming to an end today, because today is the day of the "Freshman Orientation Closing Ceremony".

For the School of Engineering of this school, each department will conduct their own graduation ceremony separately, this is to facilitate the management of their own freshman students.If all departments are required to hold the graduation ceremony together, it is equivalent to gathering the freshmen of the entire engineering school together.

Therefore, the playground at 800:[-] p.m. was full of young freshmen in uniforms at a glance, and they lined up according to the department. There were nearly [-] people in total. big event.

"Hi! Gong."

Gong Peng turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and greeted the chemical engineering students standing in the next line with a smile.

"Hey! Walder, thought you weren't coming."

He asked this question because he knew how much this person rejected the SOTUS system, and he had never participated in freshman training, but it was quite strange to suddenly show up on the playground today.The other party shrugged when he heard this, and explained simply: "I didn't plan to come, but I thought the gears were pretty cool, and I wanted to show them off to my brother."

The reason is so naive, Gong Peng accidentally burst out laughing, and almost forgot that today is not only the graduation ceremony of the freshman training, but also a very important event, which is the "Gear Battle".

Gears can be said to be the spiritual symbol of the Faculty of Engineering, and the gears here are divided into two, one is "institutional gears" and the other is "series gears". Some departments may make gears in the form of "rings". It depends on how the department's traditions are done.After the junior freshman has successfully obtained every item of spoils, the senior sister will truly officially accept the freshman as a member of the big family.

Therefore, the college gear competition can be regarded as the "first battle" for freshmen to prove their glory, followed by the "department flag handover battle" of each department. The degree of difficulty depends on the cruelty of the seniors.

And it is taken for granted that the most famous department at present must be the "Industrial Engineering Department". Not only is it one of the departments with the largest number of students in the whole school, but it also recently welcomed the newcomers to the entire Engineering College, which caused an uproar. The boss actually ordered him to be punished. He ran 54 laps on the football field in the rain. The photos were shared on Facebook, and then spread quickly. They became famous overnight, and even freshmen from other departments came here Look, what does the legendary star duty officer look like.

When it was time for the star officers to appear on the stage, thousands of pairs of eyes on the scene focused on the legendary figure. He walked out with his head upright, followed by the star officers from other departments of the College of Engineering. Thirty people, all wearing the work shirts of the engineering college, with stern expressions on their faces, like a group of mafia bosses gathering for a meeting.

The star officer on duty at Artite greeted all the junior freshmen on the playground with a loud voice, without relying on a loudspeaker or amplifying equipment at all.

"Freshmen, hello everyone!"

"Hello, senior!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then there was silence again, listening intently to what the star officer on duty who looked at the freshmen with sharp eyes was about to say next.

"I learned that there are 790 people gathered today, which is more than the 750 people I originally requested. Regarding this point, I agree with everyone's centripetal force!"

Hearing the opening of such admiration, many junior freshmen whispered curiously, because they never expected to hear that the ultra-ruthless Artite star officer would suddenly become so kind, which seemed different from what the legend heard.

Except for the freshmen from the Department of Industrial Engineering, who are extremely calm, because everyone knows that the best trick of their Yatite star officer is to first stroke you along the fur, and then suddenly and mercilessly forcefully start over when you are halfway through the stroke. I'll fuck you up.

And once again, as expected, the first sentence the officer on duty said immediately turned the rustling of whispers into pale faces.

"...But I have read your autograph book, and many of you couldn't collect the one thousand autographs you promised. Do you know what this means!"

Although the training content of each department is different, there are several projects that will be carried out together, and one of them will definitely have "signature collection". Return it one week before the training graduation ceremony and let the senior sister check it.

And it is not easy to collect a thousand signatures of the senior sisters of the engineering school, so some juniors and sisters pay before they have collected a thousand.Of course, it is impossible for the star officer to know about this matter, so it happened to be raised as the most serious mistake at this graduation ceremony.

"In the future, you may become engineers, and engineers must abide by the promises you made, but judging from your current performance, you can't see this at all. I would like to ask you, do you still want to be a student of the engineering school? !"

"think!"

Shouting in unison without hesitation or fear, although being scolded, it is better than saying nothing.

"Then, I'll take it as if you're all mentally prepared... Please, Cog."

The officer on duty turned his head to signal to the junior senior, and took out two tall trays in his hands, and the gears were placed on the trays, which seemed to add a dignified aura to the gears.

"This gear is the heart of the School of Engineering. There is only one such gear in the world. You have to prove yourself and be qualified to own it. Otherwise, these gears will sink to the bottom of the school's pool, and everyone in each department of you will Lose the qualification to own it!"

This threatening speech scared several juniors and sisters to swallow their mouths, because everyone knew that this was not just casual talk, and Senior Yatit did what he said.

In particular, there was a precedent for throwing gears into the school's pool before, and it has become a legend in the school to warn the world, and it was disqualified from the flag handover battle at that time. It took a year to pass the test of repairs.

All the freshmen listened attentively, facing their next fate with apprehension, and what kind of exam questions they would say from the resolute tone of the officer on duty.

"I want you to sing the school anthem, the college anthem, and the team call. You have to call the same number of times as your class. Please start by yourself. And I will go to that building and wait until you shout loud enough , when it’s loud enough for me to hear, it’s considered that you have passed the level, otherwise, all of you will fail to pass the level!”

...that building... From this playground, it is a seven-story engineering building. Although it is not too far away, if you stand on the top, no one can guarantee that the singing voice can reach the building. go up.However, it is absolutely impossible for the star officer to accept any protests from the freshmen, and he also emphasized that he seemed to be afraid that everyone would forget.

"Remember, you only have one chance! Please show your best performance, that's all I ask, okay!"

"Can!"

The answering voice was more sonorous and powerful than before, which also aroused the blood and enthusiasm of the freshmen. Everyone is ready to fight for their own glory!

The chief star officer of Yatite nodded, indicating that he had received everyone's response, and then led some of the star officers to leave, leaving a few star officers to watch over the order of the scene, but never intervened to interfere or help, let Freshman arranges his own actions.

And the person who stood up to lead everyone instead of the senior sister was the student who was selected as the grade representative of the engineering school by the Department of Civil Engineering. He stood up and gave orders to everyone to prepare to start singing the school song. The grade representatives are well-deserved, and the freshmen also started to sing with all their strength and voice seriously, and sang this... a song that no one could sing before.

Nearly two months of freshman training has turned a long song with an unfamiliar rhythm into a song that is imprinted in my memory and can be easily spoken at any time.Although the freshmen present are from different departments and have never practiced together before, the voices they sing together now are so consistent.

...It's all singing from the heart, I hope it can be conveyed, I hope the star officers on the building can hear it.

Yatit walked to the engineering college building, took the elevator to the seventh floor, which was already the highest floor, walked to the corridor, and several of them had already occupied their seats, watching the juniors on the playground through the large windows.

"How did the filming go, Pauline?"

He asked the classmate who was holding a large monocular camera, Bo Leien happened to zoom in and zoom in on the screen neatly, preparing to take a freshman photo.You can tell at a glance that you have played with the camera to a certain extent. After putting down the camera, you wave to the person who just asked the question.

"Come and see for yourself, the light happens to be beautiful."

Yatit came over and stood next to Poleen, and looked down at the playground below. He heard singing from a distance. Judging from the rhythm, it should be the last stanza of the school song, and then the freshmen began to line up The round team is ready to shout team hoo.However, due to the large number of people, the circular team has to be stacked several times. It looks not very round, a bit crooked, very similar to the flowers drawn by kindergarten children, but under the orange-red sunset light, there is another look. It was so beautiful that Artit was fascinated, and forgot to look away when he saw it.

……ended.

Starting today, his duty as a star officer will gradually come to an end, and he no longer needs to train his physical strength in advance to train new students... There will be no more staying for a meeting after the event to review... There will be no punishment for younger brothers and sisters after finishing the training. I have to punish myself until my legs are almost useless.

Although it still hurts a little now, these painful feelings will gradually disappear in the near future, just like the freshman training that is about to end.But for Artit, he knows that his "memories" will always be there, whether it is the hardships or responsibilities that the officer on duty has to bear, or the freshmen challenging his authority from the first day, he has to think about it. There are ways to deal with it, and there are several times afterwards that you have to prepare moves to solve the problems caused by this person.

He couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, but there was another part of his mood, which was very disappointing, because these experiences were about to count down... slowly... slowly, in the end he had to let go, let go All the power of the star officer is for freshmen to decide their own future, but he can only watch from a distance, watching someone...

Click!

The sound of the shutter pulled someone back from his thoughts, looking at the single-lens lens facing him, he couldn't help frowning and asking.

"What are you doing, Poleen?"

"Help you take a picture, it feels good just now!"

Yatit, who suddenly became the protagonist in front of the camera, turned his head expressionlessly, but Bo Leien still wanted to ask him to pose for a photo, and the freshmen downstairs who were shouting team cheers were used as the background.Before I had time to press the shutter button again, I was interrupted by another student who was also a star officer.

"Atit, let's go! The building is closing."

Nott came to tell him to prepare to go downstairs. Others had already taken the elevator down one after another. Now that the sky was getting dark, Artit had to leave the window of the corridor and follow behind a group of star officers, preparing to go down and complete the final mission of the star officer. task.

The sun has set, and we can only rely on the lighting of the playground.However, the voice of shouting for the team is not over yet, because the freshmen are ordered to shout the same number of times as their class, that is, to shout 35 times.Moreover, they have to lower their heads and raise their heads all the time, yelling loudly while doing movements. Many people started to lose their strength, so they left and walked to the side to rest, but some people were unwilling to give up. The neck of the classmate, continue to shout until the end...

The star officer of Artite appeared again, but this time he stood at a higher position in the stands, so that the freshmen in a circle could see him clearly, and then loudly announced his conclusion.

"I went up to the upstairs of the Engineering College building to hear your team cheers, the voice was very low! The formation was not in order! If you can only do this, you are not worthy of being members of our Engineering College! The other seniors in the stands Sis can come down now, don’t listen any more, let’s disband!”

The last sentence made the freshmen present very astonished and very sad, especially when they saw the seniors, who had been waiting for them to shout team cheers from the beginning, and walked down from the stands one after another, as if It's as if they don't recognize them as juniors from the engineering college, but obviously everyone has worked so hard, but the result is never good enough.

"What are you waiting for? I told you to adjourn the meeting! You can go!"

The reprimand from the star officer was like a sharp knife on the hearts of the freshmen. A few people began to cry, but no one dared to leave the team. All 790 people still formed a circle on the playground, because Everyone has worked hard together to this point, if we go out now, it will be tantamount to... Everyone has completely surrendered.

The freshmen had the same thoughts, and there was no need to use words to reach a consensus. This invisible force made the grade representative walk in front of the star officer and decided to plead with the senior loudly.

"Could you give us another chance to shout team cheer!"

The star officers who were about to leave the playground stopped, Yatit looked at the playground with a sneer, and nodded with contempt.

"Okay! Since you ask for it, I will allow it, but! This is your last chance to shout team cheers!"

After getting the permission, the grade representatives breathed a sigh of relief. Although they only have one chance, they will definitely try their best to do their best.The grade representatives ran back to the team and ordered to prepare to start shouting.

The freshmen of the engineering college are ready, wrapping their left and right arms around the necks of the students on the left and right sides, bowing their heads, and making a louder voice than before, let the team this time shout the glory of being a freshman of the engineering college...it is a freshman Unprecedented cohesion.

But to the star officer, no matter how powerful he looks, if he is not worthy of recognition, he is not worthy of recognition.After the last team call, the star officer of Artite returned to the stands again, and announced the second... and final verdict.

"Freshman! Remember! This is the last time for you to shout team cheers as college students. From today onwards, you will no longer have this right!"

…Removing the right to call the team is tantamount to being expelled from the engineering school.

After nearly two months of freshman orientation, everyone's efforts have been for naught, and everything that has been done in the past has no meaning.Many people could no longer bear the suppressed emotions and began to choke up and cry. Even Gong Peng felt the knot of grief and anger in his chest, and wanted to raise his hands to ask for another chance, but he knew very well that this chance was very slim.Before everyone had time to think about how to save everything, the voice of the officer on duty sounded again, calling everyone to look up and continue listening.

"...Because from today onwards, you are no longer just college students of this school, but members of the Engineering College. The next time you shout the team call, it will be our identity, the identity of the Engineering College students!"

There was something in the words just now, but people heard the opposite meaning. All the people were stunned, as if they understood something, and almost forgot to breathe for the next moment. The sentence they were waiting for...

"Freshmen, listen up! The result of this test is... pass!"

As soon as I heard "Pass", the whole playground was full of screams, several people jumped up and hugged each other excitedly, and some cried louder than before, but every tear that everyone shed came from happiness and relaxation. With a sigh of relief, I finally... finally proved myself and became a member of the engineering school!

"Sisters, seniors, welcome our newest members!"

The officer on duty at Artite asked the senior sisters who had just stepped down from the stands to form a circle. They did not leave, but came down early and scattered around the freshmen, in order to prepare to form a circle and shout welcome Team shout, the loud voice is not inferior to the freshman just shouted at the end, because from now on, the freshmen will officially become members of the big family of the engineering college, and the rest will only be the handover of the flags of each department Only in this way can we truly pass the freshman training.

After shouting the welcome team call, the senior sister went to the high tray to pick up the gears and distributed them to the juniors of each department, and Gong Peng got the gears from senior sister Xiaofang.

"Brother Gong Peng, congratulations!"

"Thank you, senpai."

Gong Peng raised his palms together to show respect to the senior, and accepted the gear wrapped in a transparent plastic bag.He quickly tore off the packing bag, wanting to take a good look at the logo of the engineering school that had been bought after two months of hard work.

The gear body is cast in brass, with a jagged gear logo, engraved with the name of the engineering school and No. In the meaning of "unity", the gears must cooperate with each other to form a system to make the machine operate smoothly. If one of the parts is missing, the gear system cannot function normally.

All of our classmates worked together to get this school gear, not because one person can achieve the goal by jumping out as a hero, just like someone once said.

Now he has understood that everything that senior Yatit has taught, although the teaching method is cruel, but everything has its reason, but it is a pity... From now on, there will be no more Opportunity to see that taught in that way.

But at least, this can be regarded as the "first step" for him to get closer to a certain person.

Click!

Gong Peng's thoughts were interrupted by a voice. He turned his head to look at the source of the strange voice, and found a familiar figure looking down at the camera. He quickly saluted.

"Senior Poleen, hello, you are here too!"

"Well, I'm here to take pictures of you shouting team hoo, I'll go on to take pictures of others first."

A senior who came and went quickly, Gong Peng looked puzzled, but Bo Leien ignored him, because he had to take a few more pictures as a souvenir during this time, it would be a pity to miss it.

Bo Leien picked up the camera again and was about to take another long-distance photo, but the screen suddenly showed that there was not enough storage space.

Ah, the memory card is full, maybe he just recorded the video of the team call, which will take up a lot of memory space, and he seems to have forgotten to bring a spare memory card.

He had no choice but to browse through the photos, picking some that could be deleted first, but some photos suddenly caught his attention and made him stare at them for a long time involuntarily.

...I don't want to show off how good my photography skills are!But I have to admit that these two photos have a special beauty compared to other photos.Not because of the angle or the light, but the expression of the subject of the photo.

A look of pride in one's efforts, eyes glowing as if missing someone, and a faint smile on the lips.All these elements make the photo look very natural.For him, this is the photo that best represents the graduation ceremony of freshman training——

It is between the "gear issuer" and the "gear recipient".

It is between "Star Duty Officer" and "Fresh Life".
