Ch. 821..825: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 821-825
Chapter 821
“It’s the time of the month. My stomach hurts so much. I’m afraid I can’t continue.” Vivian made a pained expression as she spoke.
Several others immediately echoed. Nicole looked at their bad acting and sneered.
“You all seem really in pain. I have an idea. I have studied acupuncture , and I have a unique set of skills to relieve menstrual pain. A few needles will do the trick.” Nicole suddenly took a box of shiny silver needles out of nowhere.
These female classmates gasped in fear at seeing the needles and looked at Vivian.
Vivian gritted her teeth. She looked at Nicole and then sat up reluctantly. “It’s okay. We’re much better now and can continue training again.” “You all do look better now. But don’t force yourself to train if the cramp still lingers. I have really learned acupuncture.” Nicole looked at her classmates with concern.
Vivian immediately got to her feet and did some stretches. “My stomach doesn’t seem to hurt anymore. So let’s keep training.”
Nicole looked at them and nodded with satisfaction.
Soon it was noon, and as soon as the bell rang, everyone collapsed to the ground.
“I can’t stand it anymore. I’m dying.”
“I’m starving. Get me a chicken thigh-no, two chicken thighs.”
“Everyone, the morning training session is over. After lunch, you all are to assemble on the sports field on time because Ms. Emerson’s class is in the afternoon. We can continue training.” After Nicole’s
announcement, everyone was free to move. Lulu and June dragged their tired bodies and came up to Nicole, not even having the strength to speak. They just gestured with their hands and then walked toward the cafeteria.
Nicole looked at them, who had only trained for one session, and shook her head, wondering why they were so weak. ‘This is far worse than the training in my group.
And it was just a warm-up, not yet a formal training.’ At noon, the cafeteria meal went fast, making the cafeteria owner wonder what was going on. All students from Class B were having a meal at the cafeteria and ate so much and so fast, like never before. After meals, they rested on the lawn but did not see Vivian or others.
“Boss, where are Vivian and others?” Jack sat down beside Gary.
“Don’t worry about them. They must have gone into hiding.” Gary could guess it without much thinking.
As the training session in the morning was a bit too intense for Wayne, he thought of a little idea. “Boss, since Vivian and all have slipped away, why don’t we-”
“Shut up. Don’t let me hear that again, or I’ll cut off your tongue,” Gary said.
Just then, he heard low discussion voices nearby as if quietly plotting something. Gary walked over and patted them on the shoulder. “Why are you guys conspiring against Nicole? She is doing this for the collective honor of our class.”
“We know you like Nicole. Isn’t it because of her that you’re willing to stay and train? But we don’t like Nicole, and we don’t want to be tortured by her anymore.”
Having his motivation exposed , Gary was rooted to the spot for a second, now knowing how to respond.
Just then, Nicole came over. “Let’s all assemble.”
She did a head count and found that not all of them were there. There was no sign of Vivian, either. “Do a roll call.”
“One, two, three…”
“It doesn’t tally. Look over at the people on your left and right. If you find the persons next to you aren’t the ones in the morning, call them out.”
Chapter 822
No one dared to speak.
“Why does no one speak? Or do you all want me to do the roll call? Vivian, Tony, Caleb…” Nicole menti oned several names in a row, getting no response. “Very good. There are already people skipping the tr aining right after the morning session. As I said before, if there is a single person absent, everyone will be punished.”
“Don‘t do it, please.” Someone in the group wailed.
“Blame those who didn‘t come.”
“A few of you go to the sports room to look for Mr. Antolovic and take some sandbags and other weight bearing gear.” After a while, they returned with the gear.
“Everybody, tie a sandbag on your body and run circling the sports field.” This time, Nicole led the grou p in front. After ten laps, some people began to fall behind.
“Keep going. There are only nine more laps left.” This was actually another form of training in the disgui se of punishment.
“Huh? Nine more laps?”
By the last few laps, some people really could not keep on and lay on the sports field. Those who were not involved in the sports day ran over and helped them up and brought them to rest on one side of the field. Gary caught up with Nicole. “There are still two laps left. Do you w ant to go for a match?”
Nicole looked into his defiant eyes. “Why not?”
“Whoever finishes last gives the winner a leg massage. How about that?” Gary wanted to enjoy a leg m assage by Nicole.
“I dare you to up the ante. Whoever finishes last gives everyone a leg massage.” Nicole cast a cold look at him.
“Challenge accepted.” Gary looked at Nicole confidently, thinking he would not lose to her because he worked out regularly.
“I will give a ten–second handicap to you.” Nicole did not want to bully him.
Gary was not too happy at hearing that. He thought Nicole was insulting him. “I should be the one giving you the handicap. I don‘t want to bully girls.”
“That won‘t be necessary. Are you ready?” Nicole glanced at Gary.
“Ready.”
“Let‘s get started.”
Gary quickly increased his speed. After running for a while without seeing Nicole, he smiled, thinking he had left Nicole far behind. As he just looked back, he saw Nicole right on his heels.
“Not bad. I‘m going to speed up again. Keep up with me.” Gary teased, and he picked up his speed again. Now he thought he must have smoked Nicole, not expecting that she had already leveled with him.
“What the, you can still catch up?” Gary was surprised . “Why aren‘t you going faster? Come on.” Nicole taunted him.
Gary had never been ridiculed like this before. He increased his speed again with all his strength.
The two of them ran past the main group like a gust of wind. Jack was amazed. “Boss is fast. This is the
“Come on, Boss,” Jack shouted.
“See, Nicole is side–by–side with Gary. The two are on par.”
“I think Boss is holding back. Otherwise, he would have left her far behind.”
“I don‘t think so. Nicole doesn‘t seem to break a sweat compared to Gary; he is sweating like a pig.”
Chapter 823
“What do you know? Boss sweats a lot by nature.”
“Gary, is this what you have got? If you are not going faster, I will.” With that, Nicole shot out like an arrow and left Gary in the dust in just a few seconds.
Gary was stupefied, wondering if this was still the same Nicole he knew.
“Did you see? I told you Nicole was holding back.”
“Go, Nicole.” Gradually , someone in the group shouted Nicole‘s name.
Soon Nicole finished two laps. She looked on and gave Gary a gesture of encouragement as Gary still had half a lap to go. Finally, Gary also crossed the finishing line, followed by the other clas smates. They had all completed serving the punishment. Nicole waited for Gary to catch his breath before speaking. “It is time to deliver on your promise, Gary.”
“Sure. Jack, you and Wayne give everyone a leg massage.”
“Did I hear you correctly, Boss? You want us to give many people a leg massage?” Jack and Wayne looked at Gary, dumbfounded.
“Yes, is there any problem?” Gary stared at the two of them with a serious face. “No problem. But can I find someone to help us both?”
“Whatever.”
Jack heard that and felt relieved. He immediately called a professional masseur. Later, the entire sports field turned into a massage parlor.
Gary came up to Nicole. “I lost, and as promised , I will give you a leg massage.”
“That won‘t be necessary. You go and help others.” Nicole did not need him to massage her legs. She was afraid of giving the wrong impressi on to others.
“Are you questioning my skill?” Gary was going to get started. 1
“What are you and Gary doing, Nicole?” Raine asked when she saw Gary’s hand about to touch Nicole‘s leg.
Nicole pulled back her leg as soon as she saw Raine.” Nothing.”
“I saw it all. You are already engaged, so why are you still fooling around with another man? If Jared kn ows about this, you will have a lot of explaining to do.” Raine sounded as if she was concerned about Nicole, but she was actually mendacious.
“We‘re training. What are you doing here?” Nicole knew
Raine was making things, so she would not entertain her.
“Training ?” Raine looked doubtful at others who were enjoying their massage.
“Yeah. If nothing else, please leave. We‘re going to keep training.”
“Time’s up. Everyone, get to your feet.” Nicole turned her back on Raine and stood up to look at her classmates.
“What an ingrate. You just wait to be scolded.” Raine turned away angrily.
Nicole did not even look back at Raine but continued training with her classmates.
In the dormitory, Nicole had finished cleaning herself up and was now resting on the bed. Lulu and June
After a while, Lulu said, “I‘ve never felt so good lying in bed.”
“Yeah, it isn‘t even this tiring during military training.” “You two are weak, already exhausted on the first day. How are you two going to continue?” Nicole looked at the two half– dead humans.
“Nicole, are you an Iron Man? Aren‘t you tired?” Lulu said.
“Yeah, I‘m so tired I don‘t want to talk. How can you still be so energetic?” June now felt like breathing was a waste of energy.
“It seems that you two should usually strengthen your exercise. Starting tomorrow, I‘ll take you two along when I get up and work out.” them along. Being mentored by Nicole was something that many people, including Gary, envied.
Chapter 824
“No thanks. We’d like to sleep a little longer.” Lulu did not want to work out with Nicole before the sun even came out yet.
“Don’t you two want to? Do you know how many people want to practice with me in the morning, and I don‘t take them along? Don‘t take it for granted.”
“Of course, we know that someone wants to work out with you in the morning, and that person is more t han wanting it; he‘s craving for it.” Lulu underlined the last part of the sentence in her voice. “Lulu, belie ve it or not, I will drag you up in the wee hours of the morning if you talk nonsense again?” Nicole threat ened her, knowing who she was talking about.
“I will shut up right away and go to sleep. Good night.” Lulu backed down.
The next day of training, Vivian and the others were not absent.
Nicole did a roll call. “Whoever didn‘t come to the training yesterday afternoon, please step out.” Vivian stood in the gro up and felt a chill running up her spine. After a while, she took the lead and stood out. While standing in fro nt, she realized everyone was
looking at them with that kind of look.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?” Vivian felt unease being stared at.
“It was all because of you that got all of us punished.”
“We ran twenty laps and came back to the dormitory dog tired.”
“It was all because of you.” The voices of reproach resounded throughout the sports field.
Vivian looked at her piqued classmates and chopped logic. “We were called away by a teacher, and you were gone when you came back.”
“Vivian, stop lying. I dare you to reveal the teacher‘s name.” A classmate mercilessly exposed her. Vivian looked at him and could not find a word to respond.
“Well, you guys who were absent from training yesterday will have to redouble your training today. Everyone else has run ten laps, then you guys will run twenty.” Nicole looked at Vivian with icy eyes, not happy that she always disregarded the overall interests and took the lead in picking a fight.
“Since we used sandbags yesterday, we will continue using them today.” With that, Nicole led everyone to a new training session.
Today, Nicole added some of the most basic intensive training elements to the team on top of the basic training. Those who ran twenty laps yesterday joining the intensive training today were quite okay with them, but Vivian and her gang were not. Because of yesterday‘s absence, they could not cope with today’s intensive training.
After a while, Vivian and her gang lay down again. Nicole came over. “You guys‘ stomachs hurt again? Do you want me to treat it?”
“We don‘t have a stomachache today. We really can‘t keep on. Let us take a break.”
Nicole could tell they were not lying. “Fine. You have two minutes.”
Then Nicole left to keep an eye on the training of others. Both Vivian and Gary were lazy when Nicole w so Nicole had to check on them constantly.
After walking around and returning to Vivian, Nicole
found them still resting. She was angry but could not punish her classmates like she did with outsiders. She could only outsmart them. Nicole walked up to Vivian , casting a long shadow
“Do you know there are prizes for this year‘s sports day?” Nicole looked at Vivian. 1
Vivian immediately got up from the ground and leaned close to Nicole. “There are prizes? How come I never heard of it?”
Chapter 825
“I didn‘t know you didn‘t know.” Nicole looked at her, pretending to be in surprise.
“What are the prizes? Tell us.” Vivian and the others immediately gathered around Nicole.
“I‘ve heard that the prizes for the women‘s group are bracelets and designer bags.” Nicole deliberately l eaked this information to Vivian.
“Impossible. The Royal Creek Institute has never had such an award, let alone bracelets and designer bags.” Vivian looked incredulous, for sh e had read the history of the Royal Creek Institute in the library.
“Then there is something that you don‘t know. I heard it is not the Royal Creek Institute but off– campus investors that sponsor the prizes.” Nicole revealed to Vivian some ideas she had previously given to Stanley and Edw in. “That‘s impossible. Why would an off– campus investor sponsor a sports event?” Vivian still did not believe what Nicole had said.
“If you don‘t believe me, you find out from the student union during the break and see if I have lied to you.” Nicole had a serious look in her eyes.
The others saw Nicole did not look like she was lying, and they all nodded their heads.
Nicole could see that everyone except Vivian had been somewhat convinced, so she made hay while the sun shone. “So you should know, training is not only for the collective honor of the class but also for your benefits.”
Everyone felt what Nicole said had a point, so they no longer complained they were tired. Instead, a competitive atmosphere aros
e, as everyone feared being outdone. Only Vivian felt depressed and left.
During the break, Lulu walked up to Nicole and asked,” All students said there would be awards such as bracelets and designer bags to be won in the competition . Is this true?”
“It‘s true.” There was no need for Nicole to hide it anymore, as the student union would announce it eve ntually.
Lulu still did not believe it before this, thinking it was just a rumor upon hearing it from Nicole. Lulu was pleasantly surprised, taking June‘s hands and jumping for joy.
When everyone knew that there were prizes to be won, they trained even harder. Even the boys who sl acked a lot previously were now trying to keep up with everyone else.
“With concentration and unity, I believe our class will win many prizes on the sports day.” Nicole continu ed to boost the morale of everyone.
In the afternoon, news of the giving of prizes at the sports day was confirmed. The student union publicly announced the matter on the bulletin board and school forum. Some people not in the know thought it was just a prank, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they believed it. This mat ter became a hot topic of discussion at school. Everyone was talking about it, and many people expressed the hope that such a sports event should be held more frequently.
After school, Nicole was called to Mr. Ellison‘s office.
“Take a seat, Nicole.” Mr. Ellison poured Nicole a cup of coffee.
“You are looking for me for something, Mr. Ellison?” Nicole looked at him.
“Can‘t I just see you for a cup of coffee?” Mr. Ellison smiled.
“Sure.”
“I heard that the student union announced giving prizes for the sports day, and it was your idea.” Mr. Ellison took a sip of the coffee.
“Yeah, the school holds a sports day yearly, and the students have aesthetic fatigue. So I thought there seems to work well.” Nicole was pleased with the response after the announcement.
“Not half bad at all. It has raised the enthusiasm of all students. Good job, Nicole.”
