SOTUS first-year

The handover of the flags of the Industrial Engineering Department of the Engineering College is scheduled for the fifth day after the freshman training is over!

It can be said that he has not yet recovered his original physical strength, shouting until his throat is hoarse, and he has to face the next battle that is coming soon.But no matter how exhausted they are, the freshmen still cheered up and participated in this important battle.

Because of the importance of the handover battle of the flags, it is not lost to last week's gear battle, and it is not the most ruthless, only more ruthless.The rules vary from year to year, depending on how the duty officer of that year designs the level. In the past, freshmen were asked to run around the campus while singing the school anthem, or to climb up the lubricated flagpole. To pull down the five-meter-tall flag.

So if you see a group of freshmen standing on the playground at [-] o'clock on a Saturday morning, waiting anxiously, their faces paler than waiting for the results of the college entrance examination, because they are waiting for a Totally unpredictable, super devilish ordeal.

Although there are still a few people who volunteered to serve as death squads, and tried their best to find out which tricks they would use this time, most of the junior senior sisters were given a gag order, and only a few star officers knew this time the rule of.But even so, there is still a hint of rumor coming out, but I don't know whether this kind of news is to cheer up the freshman or to discourage it.

... This time the flag handover battle ... guaranteed to die!

In particular, Gong Peng is also one of the secret agents. Not long ago, he had a face-to-face conversation with the officer on duty during a family reunion, and the information he got was quite reliable. And maybe he is the key person who makes the difficulty higher.

He also knew that... the attitude that he was confident in front of the star duty officer and that he would definitely win must have angered Senior Yatit.But it was not a quarrel at the time, but there was still one thought stuck in my heart.

He wanted Senior Artit to know that he didn't want to quarrel with the senior when he blurted out like that, he just wanted Senior Artit to see his and his classmates' hard work, no matter how hard it was, they had already done it. I made up my mind that I must get the department flag, in order to prove that everyone is qualified to become a member of the engineering school, and to be recognized by the senior sister of the department.

Gong Peng was earnestly waiting for the star duty officers to show up on the playground, fixed his eyes on a certain person, and was leading a group of junior star duty officers into the arena, standing in front of the freshmen with the usual cold attitude, standing After positioning, we began to greet everyone.

"Freshman, listen up! Today is a very important day for you, you must prove yourself and let us admit that you are qualified to be a member of our department!"

Yatit's eyes swept across the playground, a freshman team with neat clothes and more people than usual, which at least shows that the junior freshmen attach great importance to the battle for the flag.

But no matter how many people there are, it will have no effect on the tasks he wants to entrust to them.

"You see the flags on the stands at the back!"

All eyes turned to the blood-red flag at the same time, printed with the logo gear pattern of the College of Engineering, and the name of the department in white English characters. It was flying at the top of the cement-built spectator stand, and it was in different colors from top to bottom along the steps. decorated with rectangular strips of cloth.

"Your task is to go up and get that flag! I won't tell you the method. You can only use what I have taught you and rely on your own abilities to get that flag within the specified time. The deadline is today Before seven o'clock in the evening, if you fail, then everyone will lose their qualifications to become members of our department!"

A few simple sentences, but the content is not simple at all!Because there is no clear direction at all, and the stipulated time is as long as more than ten hours, there must be some weird inside story without guessing.

Although everyone's mouths were itchy and they wanted to raise their hands to ask questions, they were already stipulated that they were not allowed to ask any questions. The conclusion was that the freshmen could only quietly wait for the countdown to start for the star officer on duty at Artite.

"If you are ready, let's start! Freshman, please come up and get the tie flag!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yatit seemed to welcome everyone to the stands, and if he wanted to get the flag, he was welcome, which made the freshmen on the playground look at each other and blinked completely confused. In the blink of an eye, rose petals were sprinkled on the red carpet avenue where the flag was tied, so easy and simple.

If this is really the case, there will be half a person who has taken this step, but if they continue to stand still and hesitate, it is certain that all the freshmen will not be able to get the flag!

A male student standing in the first row was pushed out by everyone to be a death squad, so he had no choice but to walk towards the final goal with anxiety.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped on the first step of the stands, the star officer Nott stood up and blocked him.

"Freshman, what are you doing here!"

The person being asked trembled with fright, but still gritted his teeth and answered truthfully.

"I...I'm going to get the tie flag."

"I won't allow it! Please go down!"

A resolute refusal means that the freshman will be confused in an instant, but this is also as many people expected. The seniors will not let everyone get the flag so easily, unless they have to go through many tests and prove it.But what everyone wants to know most now is, what method should be used this time?

"Then how do we get the tie flag?"

"This is your business, not mine!"

There was no emotion in the reply.The entire playground was silent, and everyone began to feel the tremendous pressure behind this harsh battle.

A test without any hints, without telling any methods, and to satisfy the star officer on duty... Who can do this kind of thing!There are only three words to describe this year's flag competition...

...Do it, it's super difficult!

Even Gong Peng could not have imagined that the battle for the flags would be in this form, which was more difficult than a battle of wits and physical strength combined, because it was simply a blind man trying to figure out an elephant, and they couldn't figure out any direction at all.

Even if you can't figure out the direction, more than 200 heads are better than one head, so everyone started to gather around and discuss, sitting on the ground on the playground, and "A Tao" who was just sent out started to make the first hypothesis , everyone had a serious discussion.

"Anyone think anything?"

"Hey! If you don't say anything, who can guess it! Not even a hint."

Just the first sentence was choked back by a voice full of anger. The person who spoke was a fat "Ouke", but everyone could only nod their heads. This kind of powerless anger was understandable. After all, the senior didn't give any It implies that it is not the case to ask the juniors to rely on meditation to guess the minds of the seniors. They are studying in engineering colleges!Not a psychic training camp.

"Perhaps Senior Artite has already given a hint, should we think about it again?"

The glasses girl "Mei" raised her hand to put forward an idea, reminding everyone to think back again. The short-haired girl sitting next to her seemed to think of something suddenly.

"Oh! By the way, I saw that each step of the stand is made of cloth of different colors. There are five colors. Why?"

This question made Gong Peng turn around and look at the stands carefully again. Senior Nott was still standing still, as if guarding the first step. His back was decorated with yellow cloth strips, counting up from the second step The order is blue, green, pink and red, and finally the level of the flag.

At first, he thought that maybe it was just for decoration, to make the flag look more extraordinary, but after thinking about it carefully, the five colors had nothing to do with his tie, only red was the representative of the Engineering College color, the cloth tied along the ladder is a bit like...

"Game levels?"

The words in Gong Peng’s heart just came from the mouth of his friend M sitting next to him. M usually likes to play video games. When he saw such a scene, he immediately thought of it and explained his thoughts to convince other students.

"Look, there are cloth strips tied to each ladder, which is like a checkpoint that we need to go through one by one. There are five colored cloth strips over there, which means that the star officers and the others have a total of five checkpoints for us to go through one by one. Destroy it. But... how to break it, I haven't thought of it yet."

M's words let everyone start to grasp a little direction and see some possibilities, but now the question becomes what are the games in these five levels?Where should they start?

Gong Peng frowned in boredom, just like the expressions of other students who were under tremendous inner pressure. Everyone began to brainstorm and sort out various possibilities, especially what the officer on duty said, which made him particularly concerned.

Atit-senpai, are you really not saying anything?Or was there some clue he was missing?

"You can only use what I have taught you, and use your own abilities..."

All the things that the senior sister taught, every freshman training, the things that the senior sister has always emphasized, it seems that there are only...

"SOTUS!"

Gong Peng whispered to himself softly.The voice was soft but enough for M who was sitting next to him to hear him, and turned to ask him.

"what did you just say?"

"It may be 'SOTUS', which is what the senior star officers and the others taught us."

He didn't have much confidence in speaking, but this word made M's eyes light up, as if he had found a missing piece in the puzzle.

"Yes! If it's SOTUS, it's just right. The five colored cloth strips on the stands are these five letters, which represent the levels we must pass."

M happily patted Gong Peng on the shoulder as if solving a treasure mystery, and then gesticulated to explain this idea to everyone. Although there is nothing to prove that this inference is correct, at least try it. Bar!It's better than wasting time for nothing, so the freshmen started discussing the first level of English letters.

"Seniority: Respect for Seniors".

"Then what do we have to do to pass the test? Are we going to say hello to all the seniors?"

A voice in the line raised a question.

...Since it comes to respecting seniors, the easiest way is to show respect with folded hands, and freshmen have always been required to show respect to all seniors, because this is a sign of politeness and traditional culture for juniors, but you must More than 200 freshmen showed their respect to the star officers and the others, which seemed a bit weird, and it didn't seem like they could pass the level.There must be a way to show more clearly that they have respect for their predecessors...

"The only people who are more senior than the star officer are the seniors. Do you remember a time when the seniors appeared, and the star officers couldn't hold their heads up?"

Ouke suddenly proposed an idea, and everyone also remembered that last time the senior senior came to the assembly hall and ordered the junior to punish him. If he could ask the senior senior to help him this time, then he should have a chance to pass the test. The biggest one in school is none other than the senior.

"Does anyone have the phone number of the senior senior? The grade representative of the senior year is even better, and the numbers of the sophomore and junior years are also included! Just call the senior sister and the others!"

As soon as they got the direction, they started chattering for a while and got confused, and even got involved with seniors from other grades, no matter what grade they were in, they were all seniors of the freshmen.

So another investigative operation was staged to find the representatives of the fourth graders. First, everyone started to ask the senior sisters directly under each of them. Because it was only eight o'clock in the morning, and it was Saturday again, the freshman sent a mobile team to ride a motorcycle to the dormitory to ask them face to face, and then drove them to the playground.

There are also some senior sisters who rushed to the scene after hearing the news to watch the freshman's flag competition today.

The last finale is the important person everyone is looking for, "Senior Dill", the senior grade representative, who was the one who ordered the punishment of the junior star officer last time, and also the former star officer, slowly getting out of his car Walked up and down, confused about the current situation with a suspicious face, laughed after asking about the situation from a large mouth, and said this--this year's flag battle, your star duty officer is really ruthless of!

When all the conditions are met, the rest of this level is to show the spirit of "Seniority: respect for the seniors" of the freshman. The result is that "respecting seniors" also includes "respecting" seniors with more experience, and using a "humble" attitude to obtain the approval of seniors.So the freshmen decided to shout together.

"Senior sister, can we be your juniors!"

"Of course, no problem, what do you think?"

Senior Dill smiled and nodded, and the sophomore and junior grade representatives also agreed, and then Senior Dill pretended to shout at the star officer on the first stage of the stand.

"Then the star duty officer above! Do you want to pass the test for the freshmen?"

Senior Nott was still stern, and his posture was unmoved. The students asked Tew to go to the stairs and ask again.

"Senior, can I get the department flag?"

Everyone on the playground waited with bated breath, extremely nervous, especially Gong Peng who came up with the idea. After all, everyone wasted more than an hour. If they guessed wrong, they would have to do it all over again. Now we can only pray that he really Guessing the hint from the star officer on duty at Artite, he watched the result that was about to happen in front of him nervously, and it was quiet, as if time had stood still.

Senior Nott started to move, turned sideways ninety degrees, and then said a short word.

"Please!"

As soon as the sound of customs clearance was heard, the happy and excited cheers of the freshman resounded throughout the playground, and finally passed the first level!Gong Peng and M clapped each other's hands, and everyone laughed from ear to ear. Although they haven't got the tie flag yet, at least they have finally found the right direction, boosting their morale, and have more confidence in going to the next level.

In the second stage of the stand, another star officer is replaced to replace Senior Nott, and the second letter of SOTUS is used as a reminder of the second stage.

"Order: Obey the order".

Everyone is wearing college uniforms correctly, but this alone is not enough for the star officer to approve, right?There must be more content, which is what the star officer has been emphasizing and reminding every time during the freshman training, through every time they are punished...

"whole team!"

This conclusion made many freshmen look pale, but everyone agreed during the discussion that this is the easiest and fastest method. After all, there are still several levels ahead, and they must be overcome one by one before seven o'clock in the evening.

So the freshmen started to line up, giving orders and timing by themselves, using the fastest time, the most orderly team, the male students ran behind to take care of the female students in front, and those who were exhausted went to the rest area first.In order to run around for the whole team several times, each time I asked the star officer if I could pass the level. It was not until almost noon that I heard the long-awaited word: "Please!"

Shouting and cheering happily, and gasping for exhaustion, everyone walked slowly to the side of the playground, and the senior sister of the public relations team helped to prepare simple lunch boxes for everyone to eat, and the freshmen gathered around Eat while discussing the task content of the next level.

"Then what about the third hurdle "Tradition: Inheriting Tradition"? I don't even know what traditions we have in our department."

Gong Peng put the fried rice into his mouth as he listened to M talking. He himself had no idea, because everyone is a freshman who just entered school, so the person who knows the answer to this question must be in the department. Senior for a long time, so everyone sent someone to find senior Dier to inquire.The seniors were watching this year's flag competition nearby and hadn't gone back yet, but the answers the freshmen got were also unsolvable.

"There's no tradition either!"

"Not even half of them? Senior Dill."

The most beautiful girl in the class, "Xiao Ban", used her skill of acting like a baby, which caused senior Dill to have a headache, and he hesitated to say something.

"Well... I'm not sure if this counts! But there are things that I continue to do every year. It should be on New Year's Day. The Department will hold a Department Friends Cup football match. After the end, everyone will help clean up, and finally Let’s go to dinner together and exchange ideas.”

The first-year students who were listening attentively looked at each other... If they were playing football at this time, it shouldn't be the case. The part of the dinner party can be deleted directly, and the rest is to clean up together.However, there seems to be something missing when more than 200 people clean the playground together. Since it needs to be cleaned, let's play a little bigger and clean the entire campus directly!

The freshmen spent the whole afternoon in groups allocating the whole school to pick up rubbish and clean the environment of the whole campus. In fact, they didn’t know if this was the correct tradition, but at least it was helpful to their own campus.It may be because of this reason, and the star officer of this level is a senior sister, so they "passed" through soft-heartedness, but it also took a lot of time.

Seeing that the time was getting later and later, the pointer on the watch was about to approach four o'clock, so the fourth level had to be carried out a little faster, and everyone came to the conclusion that the performance of "Unity: Unity" is nothing better than "singing".

Drums, ready; voice, ready.And most importantly, the "unity" of the freshman has been prepared a long time ago!

Everyone worked hard, using the loudest and most orderly volume, from department songs, college songs, to school songs, and all the group songs that the senior sister of the recreation group led everyone to practice together, including dance steps, movements and music, to make the atmosphere more lively. Lively.Seniors from the department appeared one after another around the playground, and they came to cheer up the freshmen one after another.

It was not until the evening sun gradually receded, and after singing the school song for the last time, that the fourth hurdle was finally successfully captured.At this time, the strength of the freshmen is running out, because they have been consuming energy since early in the morning, but now there is only the last level left, and it is also the most important level.

"Spirit: The Spirit of Mutual Help and Cooperation".

The master of this level is in charge of the life and death power of the freshmen, so the only person who is qualified to serve is the star officer of Artite.Yatit stood on the last step with the red cloth strips, and behind him was the flag fluttering in the wind. It was only the last hour before seven o'clock.

"What should I do? This must be the most difficult one. I'll say it first. If I still have to go to the playground, I can't do it anymore!"

Gong Peng sat next to M who only had the strength left to move his mouth. He yelled several songs in a row and exhausted a lot of energy. Even his complaining voice was hoarse.Gong Peng himself admits that his physical strength is approaching the limit. If he really wants to use the playground to prove the spirit of mutual assistance and cooperation, he will definitely not be able to overcome this level, but the remaining time is decreasing by the minute. .

The students looked at each other in blank dismay, all the anxiety was reflected on their faces, and they really couldn't think of any method to use to overcome this last devil's level.

Gong Peng's eyes looked at a certain person in the stands. He was standing still in a relaxed posture, waiting for the actions of the freshmen.

There was no sign of softening in his face or eyes, it was still the same as what he had seen.This is the person who used to run on this playground on a rainy night... Huh?Wait a moment……

For a moment, an idea seemed to flash by, and Gong Peng tried his best to grasp it. After quick calculations in his brain, he finally asked the students to look at it.

"Everyone, please listen to me."

All eyes were on Gong Peng who had just spoken. He stood up and walked to the middle of the circle.

Although I'm not sure yet, it may be the only way for everyone to pass the level of Senior Atit and win the flag!He took a deep breath, looked at the Atit star officer standing on the top step, and said slowly.

"I have a plan..."
