Chapter 258: I’ll Run for Them

A footrace had left the freshmen and several guests completely overwhelmed. Very few met the standard.

Although Olivia’s speed and stamina far exceeded Felix’s expectations, it didn’t stop him from continuing with his plan.

“Those who didn’t meet the time, run again,” he announced.

The crowd groaned. Whitney and Joycelyn hadn’t managed to finish the first round. Even if they ran a hundred more times, they would definitely not meet the standard.

“We really can’t run anymore,” Joycelyn said, her face pale. Whitney’s condition wasn’t any better; the poor girl’s legs were shaking as she stood.

Felix turned a blind eye. “If you can’t finish, you can apply to drop out. Coming to Borcalia Military Academy means following its rules.”

The two girls looked miserable. Even if they were naive, they could see that Felix was targeting them intentionally. Hadn’t other freshmen mentioned that they only had to run five kilometers before? The contracts were already signed; if they dropped out now, they would have to pay a penalty fee.

“This distance, this timing, it’s too harsh for us!” Joycelyn retorted through clenched teeth.

“You’re clearly targeting us,” she added.

Felix said, “Targeting? Do the students here run separately from you? Have I set specific rules for you?”

Joycelyn bit her lip. If they had the physique of military school students, would they even be in the entertainment industry? It seemed Felix wasn’t targeting them, but he was obviously making things difficult.

Felix glanced at the two and then said, “Don’t say I’m specifically targeting you. Now, as long as you finish within 50 minutes, it’ll count as passing. Now you have nothing to complain about, right?”

Felix’s words sounded like he was giving Whitney and the others a break, but in reality, it was still a challenge. More humane, perhaps, but even if Joycelyn and Whitney were given an hour, they couldn’t complete it.

And Shawn and the others, having just finished a round, were significantly drained. Starting over would only add to their difficulty. Joycelyn was nearly driven to tears by this nonsense.

“If you can run, run; if not, talk to the director yourself; don’t delay the other students’ training,” Felix spoke impatiently.

Just when Felix thought he would definitely drive the two female celebrities away with his tactics, a voice suddenly rang out.

“I’ll run for them.”

Olivia slowly walked up to Whitney and Joycelyn and met Felix’s gaze.

“Olivia!”

Whitney and Joycelyn, seeing Olivia step forward, were nearly moved to tears.

“You’ll run for them?” Felix looked Olivia up and down, initially wanting to refuse, but then he thought better of it. He had realized that among the six guests, Olivia was the toughest to deal with. If he could just get Olivia out, wouldn’t the other five easily crumble?

“We don’t allow substitutions here, but since you’re guests, I can make an exception for you. However…” Felix looked towards Olivia. “Since you are running for both of them, to not delay others’ time, you must run a full 12 miles. As for the time… it also has to be calculated at 40 minutes per 6 miles.”

He didn’t believe that Olivia, who had just finished 6 miles, could run another 12 miles in one go. Even if her speed was fast, her stamina couldn’t possibly keep up!

Upon hearing Felix’s words, Joycelyn immediately exploded. “Olivia has just finished running, how can you change the rules like this? You’re clearly just making it difficult for her on purpose!”
