The official training kicked off on day two.
First up, they had to stand

Dean strolled through the ranks, fixing their postures and adjusting their hand positions.
“Standing at attention is all about building willpower and improving your posture. varus. Your movements need to be spot on!”
But despite Dean’s pep talk, the beauty–conscious girls weren’t feeling it at all.

In their heads, they were screaming, ‘Come on, Mr. Palmer! Times have changed! We’re not going g to war. We don’t need to train ou willpower like this!
Sweat was dripping down their eye
eyelashes and into their eyes, making it hard to tell if it was sweat or tears.
Victoria blinked, her long lashes managing to keep the sweat from her forehead at bay. Sure, standing at attention made her muscles ache, but it was good for her body. She wanted to be a top–notch actress, and this bit of hardship was nothing.
Whether it was wearing a down jacket in summer, thin clothes in winter, or taking real falls from horseback and fighting mud, she was ready for any challenge.
In her past life, she wanted to play many such roles, but they only gave her stunt double or corpse double gigs.

She remembered once lying on the floor, having her hand stepped on by the lead actress’s high heel. She had to grit her teeth and endure it without moving because the lead actress had already messed up ten takes, and they couldn’t reshoot because of her, a Corpse double.
Just then, a piercing scream grabbed everyone’s attention.
Ella, what’s wrong?”
Everyone relaxed and turned towards the sound, not just because they were curious, but also because it gave them a a break.

Standing at attention required full–body effort, way more tiring than just standing around. They took the chance to shake out their hands and stomp their feet.

The students who couldn’t see what was happening hurriedly got back in line. Half an hour was already tough, adding another half hour wasn’t worth it
Victoria also glanced to the front left. She saw Ella collapsing softly onto Natalia, who was barely holding her up, looking really worried.
“Ola, Ella, woke up!‘
Dean strode over, “What’s up with this girl?”
Chapter 22 Does Ella Have a Heart Condition?
Ella’s eyes were tightly shut, her face pale, and even her lips were pale. She had put on extra powder today to look as good as Victoria, which made her fake fainting look pretty real.
In her past life, she hadn’t gone through Nexus College’s military training. She thought if Victoria could handle it, she could too. But Nexus College was no joke. She couldn’t last a day and had to find a way out!
Natalia said, “I don’t know, Ella just collapsed. Could it be heatstroke Mr. Palmer?
Dean frowned at Ella. He didn’t get too close, but from a distance, she didn’t look good.
“You young people are too weak nowadays. Take her to the shade to rest and give her some water.”
“Okay, I’ll take her over, Natalia agreed, feeling a bit smug inside. Taking Ella over meant she could rest too. If they took their time, half an hour would fly by, and that would be awesome!
But then Ella pinched her hand and whispered, “Medical room.
Natalia winced in pain and let out a small cry.
Dean’s stern gaze swept over,
“What’s wrong now?
Natalia quickly covered, “Nothing It’s just that Ella’s fainting seems serious. I can’t support her alone. Should we get someone to help carry her to the medical room? Ella’s health is weak, I’m afraid something might happen.”
She now realized Ella was faking it to dodge the training. Ella was loaded and often gave her expensive gifts, so she felt she had to help her out.

Dean initially thought a short rest would be enough, and then she could get back to training. After all, Nexus College aimed resilience and endurance in its students. But Natalia’s reminder made him worry about Ella’s health. If something really happened, dealing with the students‘ parents would be a hassle.
Since it was field training. Nexus College had set up a temporary medical room with doctors and nurses to handle simple issues like headaches, colds, and insect bites.
“Alright, go quickly and come back. Who wants to take her to the medical room?”
Half the boys in the class raised their hands, “Mr. Palmer, I’ll go!”
At this point, Victoria understood that Ella was faking it. In her past life, it was Victoria who helped cover for her and took her to the medical room.
Although she thought faking illness was wrong, Victoria felt sorry for Ella, who had suffered a lot. She was also afraid that if Ella got sick, Brian and Joan would be sad and blame her. So she helped la fake it, got her sick leave, and let her rest comfortably in the shade, watching everyone else sweat during training.

Victoria raised her hand, “Mr. Palmer, I have a way to cure her immediately.”
Natalia immediately retorted, “Victoria, you re not a doctor!””
Dean didn’t know about their conflict, saying, “Then try it.”
It would be best if it could be resolved immediately. He watched, what could go wrong.
Victoria picked up a cup of water and directly splashed a cup ice water on Ella’s face.
The speed was so fast that Natalia couldn’t stop it, and Tom could only be surprised.
Ella couldn’t help but open her eyes, wiping the mixture of makeup and water off her face, screaming. “Victoria, what are you doing? Are you crazy!”
Ella screamed and swung a slap at Victoria, but Victoria caught her wrist. “See, she’s fine now.”
Dean’s tone was stern, “Ella, were you faking it?”
Ella then remembered she was supposed to be taking fainting. She quickly held her forehead, looking weak, “I really fainted just now, but now I’m awake.”
Seeing Dean’s skeptical expression, Ella bit her lip hard, forcing out tears, looking pitifully at him, “Actually, I have a heart condition. I didn’t want to say it.”
