The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 251: Dark Division Leader (1)_1
Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Dark Division Leader (1)_1
After Old Deng, Old Master Situ, and Old Master Loo entered the house, Situ Xin, holding Baibai, followed by Situ Muli, walked outside, ready to get in the car.
Just as Situ Xin stepped out of the gate, a very loud voice rang out, "Leader, good to see you." If Situ Xin hadn’t had such strong mental composure, she might have been scared enough to accidentally throw Baibai out of her arms by this person’s booming voice.
Situ Xin looked up at the person who had shouted, "Leader, good to see you," and asked, "Who are you?" Situ Xin had an excellent memory; she remembered anyone she considered important after just one glance. Clearly, she had no recollection of this face before her.
"Leader, I am a member of The Dark Division, and my code name is Ghost. I will be your driver from now on," said the one known as Ghost, a young man with a baby face. Indeed, a young man—by Situ Xin’s estimation, he couldn’t be more than eighteen or nineteen years old.
"My driver?" Situ Xin wondered inwardly, it was as if no one had informed her about being assigned a driver or car.
Indeed, the arrival of Situ Xin as the new Leader had been somewhat abrupt, catching Xiang Yang and others off guard. There had also been the matter of the competition that distracted everyone. Consequently, this matter had slipped Xiang Yang’s mind until he received a call from Situ Xin the previous evening, and he hastily arranged a car for her.
And this young driver, Ghost, had volunteered himself upon learning that Xiang Yang was preparing a car for Situ Xin. He had come to idolize Situ Xin after witnessing her match against Xiang Yang.
"Yes, this car is specially assigned to you, and I am your driver. Leader, please get in," Ghost said, opening the car door for Situ Xin.
After receiving confirmation from Ghost, Situ Xin had another thought—she was, after all, the Dark Division Leader, and it was appropriate to have her own car. Feeling justified, she got into the car while still holding Baibai.
The car was indeed befitting of the Dark Division Leader, not because it was particularly luxurious or comfortable, but when they reached the entrance of The Dark Division, the guard at the gate saluted the vehicle upon seeing the license plate, allowing them to pass without checking any identification.
By the time Situ Xin arrived, Xiang Yang, along with all members of The Dark Division, had been waiting in the training field for some time. "Leader, hello," the members of The Dark Division called out in unison, loudly and clearly, as Situ Xin entered the gate of the training field.
Situ Xin heard no hint of dissatisfaction or defiance in their voices, which pleased her, and she nodded in satisfaction.
Unlike other leaders who might drone on with lengthy speeches, Situ Xin preferred to get straight to the point, feeling that lengthy speeches would waste not only other people’s time but her own as well. She spoke directly, "I’ve gathered you all here today to tell you something. Your regular training programs and methods need to change."
The members of The Dark Division hadn’t expected such a big move from Situ Xin right off the bat. While they were surprised by her proposal, not a single person stood to object; everyone looked at Situ Xin, waiting for her to continue.
"You must be wondering why I’m taking such a big step right away. I made this decision after seeing the annual casualty report handed to me by Xiang Yang yesterday. I’m sure none of you want to see your teammates leave our side one by one." Situ Xin had no need to explain herself given her current status, yet she did so regardless.
Because she understood those standing before her, knew their weak spots, the hurt in their hearts, the pain—because she had once been one of them.
And also because Situ Xin knew that the intensity of the training she had planned was much greater than before, as was the difficulty. Only with strong ideals in their hearts could they persist in the training to achieve the best results.
Indeed, as soon as Situ Xin finished speaking, many eyes in the crowd dimmed, carrying irrepressible sorrow. Situ Xin knew those were thoughts of their fallen teammates, departed comrades.
Seeing that her words had reached their intended effect, Situ Xin continued, "To reduce casualties, we must enhance our own strength and the strength of the team."
"Leader, we will increase our own strength, improve the strength of our team."
"Right, we fear neither hardship nor fatigue. We will exert our utmost effort to complete the training set by the Leader." After Situ Xin finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, followed by someone in the crowd who began to shout. Soon after, the shouts resounded one after another.
Seeing the determined expressions on the faces of The Dark Division members below, Situ Xin showed a smile of relief.
In the following moments, Situ Xin signaled Situ Muli to hand over the paper detailing the specific training projects and schedule to Xiang Yang. While she had been speaking earlier, she had released her Divine Sense slightly, enveloping all the members of The Dark Division below.
Situ Xin’s initial intention was to broadly determine what kind of Ancient Martial Arts were suitable for these Dark Division members. It’s important to note that Ancient Martial Arts is a broad term with many categories, including both soft and hard techniques. Each person is suited to a different type of Ancient Martial Arts, and it’s only by choosing the style that fits one’s nature that effects can be seen.
To her surprise, through her investigation, Situ Xin discovered that each member of The Dark Division had old injuries to a larger or smaller extent. Such longstanding injuries, if left untreated, could pose a significant obstacle to future Ancient Martial Arts training.
Situ Xin frowned and gestured for Xiang Yang to come over. "Leader, what is it you need?" Xiang Yang, who was holding the new training plans, asked as he approached Situ Xin, puzzled.
"Xiang Yang, did you know that the Dark Division members all have old injuries, which greatly impact their martial arts training?" Situ Xin asked, still frowning, talking to Xiang Yang while considering what measures to take for healing the hidden injuries of The Dark Division members. She had plenty of methods to treat their injuries, but because there were too many options, she wasn’t sure which one to choose.
