Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 501

"I'm just lucky to have the training my dad taught me. But you guys are awesome, too," Samantha said.

Samantha's words were well-received. She was initially unfamiliar with her new classmates, but after some interaction, everyone's fondness for Samantha grew.

"Let's keep up the good work this afternoon."

Just as they conversed, the instructor approached, and all the students returned to their positions.

"We practiced the training stance this morning. This afternoon, we'll learn some basic moves. I'll demonstrate first, and those who do well can take an early break."

Everyone was thrilled upon hearing that.

However, as soon as the instructor demonstrated the moves, they felt their confidence deflate. The seemingly simple moves were quite tricky, which led to frequent slip-ups.

After numerous attempts, Callie felt her confidence plummeted. "I can't do this. This is too tough," she groaned.

Others also echoed her frustration. "Why do I keep messing up?"

"How is it that I understand it at a glance but botch it up in practice? Seriously, does anyone have any pointers?"

As Helen listened to her classmates' frustrations, she flawlessly performed the instructor's moves and maintained her stance.

The instructor approached and sized her up. Then he extended his foot and kicked her calf firmly. But she remained steady and stood still without flinching.

"Great job! This student here did fantastic, and everyone should take note."

The instructor glanced at Helen, then over at Samantha. "Both of you did well. You can take a break first."

However, Samantha remained in her stance and said. "Sir, I'm good to keep going."

The instructor looked pleased and glanced at Helen beside her.

Even if Helen could keep up with her during boot camp, Samantha was confident she had the edge in terms of appearance.

"Later, we'll be tackling the 50-meter obstacle course. Good luck!" Samantha chirped.

Everyone knew that the course was Samantha's most accomplished event in boot camp. She once set a record of two and a half minutes that had yet to be broken by others.

So, she looked forward to impressing everyone again.

Helen nodded and said, "Good luck!"

Samantha shrugged and glanced into the distance.

The instructor said, "We're wrapping up our marching practice for now, and everyone did pretty well. Next up is a simple assessment, which is the 50-meter obstacle course.

"It'll test your progress over the past couple of days. The passing time is three minutes and 20 seconds, with a perfect score of two minutes and 50 seconds. We'll conduct the assessment according to your student ID numbers."
