The Weird Kids

[Ling Fei's group]

"Ning Xi!" Some voice of the girl was heard by both Ling Fei and Ning Xi.

"I'm here, Ying Yue!" Ning Xi shouted back and energetically waved at the girl that looking around, and soon found her and smiles, and soon again the smile turned into stunned face~

Ying Yue trotted towards Ning Xi.

'Or us?' Ling Fei corrected subconsciously. 'She's still hugging my arm...' He continuously thought with a dead pan expression outside.

Ying Yue reached them and the first thing she stared at, was the arm that. 'Lovingly hugged by my cute Xixi!' Then she turned with hostility to this... "girl?" she blurted out, out of her mind.

Ling Fei can't take this anymore and turned to this tomboyish girl, that have a shoulder hair cut style, while Ning Xi have a long hair that reached her waist. But still Ling Fei and his sister are much more longer that reaching the back of their knees.

"Miss... Please stop that hostility of yours and I may correct you, and you really need to tell to this girl too. That I am a boy. Boy. Boy. Boy like them." He said while pointing at the several boys looking at them.

Ying Yue followed his opened palm, that indicates for her to look at the boys too. Which make her woke up from her trance, and harshly turned back to look more hostile at Ling Fei.

Ling Fei scratch his cheeks with helplessness.

Ning Xi was confused at first but after listening at Ling Fei. She soon started to realized to what he means.

"Ning Xi! Let go of his arms!" Ying Yue sternly said at Ning Xi.

"I already get it! But... but... ..." She shouted back but shyly bowed down to hide her face while her voice turning into a whisper that can't never hear anymore.

"But what!? Did he threatened you!? Blackmailed you!? Harassing you!?" Ying Yue listed all the things that made Ling Fei shocked.

"Hoy! hoy! hoy! Miss, you're accusing me wron-"

"She... I mean, he got a smooth silky skin, and I can't stop touching... I mean feeling it!" Ning Xi shouted to mediate between them, unknowingly that it's very loud.

Then silence started to watch them all, even the other kids at the far back of the group, turned silent.

'Miss... There's really no difference...' They all thought.

Suddenly another girl joined them with two boys following her.

"Any way, Xi-xiao... You really need to stop that. You're giving this... Beautiful boy a hard time telling you that he is a 'boy'. And it's really started getting creepier after watching your hand caressing his arms like that..."

Ying Yue pulled Ning Xi away with a look of a kitten that was abandoned.

"Thanks, I guess... And it's really... Fine if you're my friend in the first place."

"Ah, I see... Well if it's about the suddenly grabbed like that and harassed too... I'll be irritate or will be mad at him. By the way, I'm Qing Shan and this is my childhood friends, Feng Hong and Feng Mian, they are twins. And that two girls that you both met already, Ning Xi and Ying Yue. What's your name?" She said in one breath and reached out a right palm.

"It's Ling Fei." He didn't let her hand hanged for a long time.

"Muu, Shanshan... I'm not harassing him..." Ning Xi cutely pouted.

"Oh no! You're not harassing him for sure, Xi-xiao!" Ying Yue cheered her up.

Feng brothers facepalmed and smirked. "You really love her so much that the only thing you lack was a marriage certificate, no, Ying Yue~"

Ying Yue glared at them which the two playfully whistles while slowly stepping back away from her.

"But... She - I mean he really looks like a girl with his skin and hair like that."

"Well... We can't disagree with you Xixi." Qing Shan said while staring at Ling Fei with a searching eyes.

But soon, a staff appeared and shouted numbers, calling ten kids at one time. "0726, 1754, 1755,1756... 1762. All numbers that I called out, follow me please." Then turned back and started to walk away.

Ling Fei knowing his number, 0726. Follow the staff, but was a bit shocked after noticing the five kids that talked a bit with him was called too. "Hmmm... A bit coincidence that I was called out with you all."

"Yeah~ Well, your number is really far, and doubled ours... So, why are you here?" Feng Hong asked.

"It was a request from me, that they permitted." Ling Fei didn't elaborated.

Qing Shan just stared at him, and went to check out the other four kids that had been called too. Two girls and two boys. Overall, five girls and five boys.

The staff and all of them reached a room and went to face them. "You can decided to change your outfits as it's really not appropriate but of course you may choose to take a test with your current clothes. On my right, boys room and left room is girls room. You only have a minute to change and it starts on my mark... now!"

Everyone went inside except for Ling Fei and just stand there like how he once a soldier, in his past life.

The staff noticed, stared at him and a second later, nodded. "Good thinking, and posture, kid."

"Thank you, sir!" He just said with a little bit loud voice.

"But, this is not a battlefield to think like that though?"

"Sir, permission to reply, sir."

"... Permitted."

"We are enrolling at this military school, sir. We should think to be one the moment we step in, sir."

The staff didn't replied and smiled. But decided to cheer Ling Fei. "... Okay~ Good luck, kid."

"Sir, thank you, sir!"

And the minute passed and all of them returned. At first, the girls was confused after seeing Ling Fei didn't change while the boys don't know what to think why he is standing like that.

But as a member of a families that have military backgrounds. They're smart enough to think why he is like that and they started to form a two lines that consists of each gender.

"Hmmm... Good, let's go to your testing room now."

Soon, they noticed that they're standing at the race track with the feels of dusty and sandy.

The staff earlier explained again for how they need to get ready to run from the start line, and explained that they would have to safely arrive at the end line to complete this test. As for scoring, that would depend on how much time they took to complete the course.

Which Ling Fei knew already from the Story orb. He noticed that needed to be notice from the start. But he didn't focused at it. 'Having this kind of knowledge, sometimes really makes me bored... Now, my only problem is... For how to make them work as a team to finish this test... I should make myself be on the last, first. And see for how it goes then.'

Very soon, the staff had confirmed they were ready, he gave the command, and they were off.

And what happened next, wasn't expected by Ling Fei.

He doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The nine kids with him, running at his back. If he slowed down, they will slow down too. If he increased his pace, they will too.

"Err... Ladies and gents? Why I'm in the front?"

"Hmm... That's a good question, Ling Fei. But... Can we ask you too and answer it first before we answer yours?" Qing Shan asked.

"What it might be, milady?"

"Why didn't you changed? And was standing like that back there after we changed?"

"... A habit, I guess... ?"

"Ohh... Habit..." Playfully said while wondering by one of the two unknown girls.

"Then, we should answer yours, as a 'habit' too then?" Seconded by the unknown boy with glasses.

"Ling Fei, we know that you're thinking us for some like bratty kids. Qing Shan is my name." She said while still following him.

"But, we are from military families. Twin Feng Hong " Seriously stated but still smiling.

"Even though we're not from the families with have a background like you. Twin Feng Mian." Continued his twin brother just like him, smiling too.

"We were taught to be observable with our surroundings. I'm Hui Cong." The boy with the glasses.

"And strictly made us to remember each of the kids with a surname Ling we encounter. Shuang Shun here." The happy go lucky faced-boy.

"That's why we know each others. I'm Ning Xi." She said with a voice of agreement.

"Even if we are divided into two groups before we started this test. Don't forget me, Jiao Jing." The girl with a expression of seriousness.

"We unknowingly decided to follow you which we felt the aura of soldier that came from you. Huan Cuifen at your service." The playful girl.

"And the hardest thing to believe was, we don't acknowledge someone just like that. Formally known as Ying Yue." She said but still a hostile towards Ling Fei.

"That's why... We're giving you a chance to let us know, show us, what kind of a person our Hero's child is..." They said in synchronized, but have a power of sincerity in each individual voices.

"... How... What gave my identity out?"

"The moment we heard and know your request permitted, which the staffs won't even granted it whoever is that person. Unless he really have a hard and stable influenced for them... Which is your father."

"I see... So, you will follow me as what?" He asked with a hidden thing.

"Both!" They shouted without hesitation.

"Hahaha... I like it!" He laughed so loud and smirked. He was not this happy and entertained after being reincarnated. Even if there's his sister. But she's not his world, they're bounded to take different paths from each other, after all.

"Then... As your new friend. We shall have fun in this test~"

"But?" Feng Mian asked.

"It's 'And', you moron..." Feng Hong simply insults.

"Yeah, it should be 'and' for that. And as your leader that you chosen... Take care of your comrade with your lives, even if the stars starts to fall down..."

"Understood!"

"Let's go! First! People with longer stamina, level your pace with the people who had shorter stamina... Second, help them the moment they started to reach their first limits, then switch with me alternatively and timely for it. And don't ask, just believe at the person who you all chosen now. You should remember that unbroken rule within this group. And I'll take care of everything." Ling Fei ordered, turned his face at his back and smiled sincerely for them too.
