Chapter 10 Night Service
sword technique once a week, starting after lunch, depending on the amount of sun Sunset at night.

As summer is long, sword technique classes are long. Winter days are short, so sword technique classes are short.

In principle, one hour is reserved for officers and students to eat before complete darkness.

This leads to a problem: in the last hour of the summer sword technique class, everyone is stomach rumbling with hunger.

Going to the equipment room to return the training armor, Winters and Ike didn't even have time to change their uniforms, so they ran all the way to the school cafeteria to devour them.

The sun had already set when they returned to the student dormitory after they had dinner and took a shower.

The oil lamps are lit in the dormitory, and the military cadets from non-uniform provinces have already started to pack their bags and prepare to leave for their hometown tomorrow.

Axel's home is in Jade City, within walking distance, so there's no rush at all.

He was about to wash his armour, but found Winters lying on the bed, motionless.

"Is this going to bed?" Ike fiercely slapped Winters on the back: "Don't pack?"

"Let's talk tomorrow." Winters was so full, so weak .

Tiredness, pain, and sleepiness hit Winters, and he just wanted to sleep.

"What about your armor? If you don't wash it, it will be rotten tomorrow." Ike frowned asked.

Winters weighed "getting up and doing laundry" and "going to sleep", choosing "going to sleep" without any suspense.

"No, throw it away." He buried his head in the pillow hard: "Whoever wants it."

"A good set of clothes, if you say you throw it away, then you say go home. Practice sword techniques diligently..." Axel picked up his friend's armor and threw it into his laundry tub.

But Winters couldn't hear what Ike was saying, his friend's voice came in his left ear and came out of his right.

Second before losing consciousness, Winters suddenly remembered something else going on tonight.

He jumped out of bed, causing Ike to take a big step back.

"I remember." Winters frowned said, "I'm still on duty tonight."

He took a deep breath and let out a groan from the deepest part of his chest.

"Aren't you also sleeping when you're on duty?" Ike asked rhetorically, holding the laundry tub.

Winters didn't have time to answer, grabbed his shirt and hurried out of the dorm.

The Army Officer Academy, located southeast of Jade City, has three gates.

Two shifts a day for each department. There are six people in each class, two from each of the first, second and third grades.

The Lu Academy has three disciplines: cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and each discipline fluctuates between 55 and 60 students per grade.

Therefore, on average, military students are required to be on a day shift and then a night shift every month.

Winters ran all the way to the north gate. The officers and students on duty at Rigang had not yet left, and the first- and second-year students who came to change the guard were already waiting in advance.

"Hello, monitor." The junior students saluted when they saw Winters.

It is the tradition of Luyuan to call the senior senior as the monitor.

Because during the New Student Enrollment, the second grader will be their deputy monitor and the third grader will be their monitor, leading the freshman training.

So in the Military Academy, junior officers and students are called monitor when they see Senior, regardless of whether they know each other or not.

Winters returned the salute and hurried into the duty room. Another third-year officer on the night watch was waiting for him.

"You're here, Bud." Winters greeted.

The officer named "Bud" was born in his early 1.7 meters tall. He was a stocky young man with thick shoulders and big hands, a wide mouth and a broad nose and strong features.

In Winters' eyes, all the physical features of the other party showed that he was a gentle, simple and tolerant person.

When Bud saw Winters approaching, he punched Winters lightly on the shoulder, grinning with a smile showing his upper and lower rows of teeth.

Winters was gasping for breath at the bruise he left when he touched his sword today.

"What?" Bud didn't understand how a light punch made Winters respond so much.

"Today I was in sword technique class, and my shoulder was slapped hard. There was no major event."

"Master did it?" Bud asked with a smile, and he suddenly felt Fully understand.

Winters pulled up a chair, sat down unceremoniously, and said proudly, "You didn't see, I forcibly scored seventeen points in Ike's hands today. Ike was beaten by me. I'm in a hurry, but unfortunately I'm not physically strong, or I'll break Ike's unbeaten record today."

"Really?" Bud laughed.

There is no one who can beat sword technique Master Axel yet, and there are not many people who can get 17 points in Ike's hands.

Winters is full of confidence: "How can I brag? There are so many people watching in the class."

Bud switched to Winters and punched the other shoulder hard: "Ten Seven points! It's amazing! It's a pity!"

A head peeked into the door, it was a first-year student.

Junior Brother raised his hand to salute and reported in a low voice, "Monitor, the instructor on duty is here."

The two of Winters tidied up and walked out of the student duty room.

The night shift post is different from the day shift post. The day shift post has no patrol duties. Six people are on duty for the whole day, and one group is on duty for four hours.

Arriving on duty before duty, and leaving after duty.

But the night shift is more complicated, and there are patrol tasks. Therefore, the duty process of the night shift post is that each group of people stands on duty for four hours, patrols for four hours, and sleeps for four hours. This ensures that one group of people is patrolling at the same time, one group is on guard, and the other group is sleeping.

The night shift post cannot go back to the dormitory to sleep, so two small brick houses were built beside the gate and on the inner side of the fence, which were used as the duty room for students and the duty room for teachers, for the staff on the night post to rest.

The guards resting in the duty room can also play the role of "support at any time in case of emergencies".

Why is there a faculty lounge? Because the teachers also take turns on the night shift. The school believes that the night shift situation is complicated, and there are not enough students. In the event of an emergency, it must be safe to have an active duty officer present.

Theoretically, all instructors, from the Principal to the instructor, are obligated to work night shifts.

But in reality, only poor young faculty members need to work the night shift, and their common characteristics are: "new recruits, low rank, living in staff quarters, and bachelors."

But The instructors do not need to stand guard, as long as they sleep in the faculty lounge.

It was a short weapon class instructor with flushed cheeks, and the button of his shirt was unbuttoned to the third under the neckline, apparently drinking.

The two people who have not left their posts during the day shift, and the six people who work in the night shift, a total of eight people, led by Winters, stood in a horizontal line.

Everyone stood up in good spirits, and the teachers who came to be on duty were nodded with no expression on their faces - the people on night shifts will not be in a good mood - picked up the duty table and began to roll the call.

"Winters ·Montagne!"

"To!"

"Gerald's Bud!"

"To! "

Bud's name is weird because Bud doesn't have a last name.

Gerald is his hometown, calling him "Gerald's Bud" to distinguish him from the other "Buds".

Maybe one day Bud will take Gerald as his last name. But now he's called Bud, officially Gerald's Bud.

After that, the teacher called the name, picked up the quill and dipped the tongue, and tick the sign.

"Have you ever ordered a weapon?" he asked again.

Winters just chatted with Bard and didn't count the weapons.

But Bud touched Winters lightly, and Winters understood immediately - Bud clicked.

So Winters replied loudly: "Six long halberds, six muskets, all counted."

"Okay, dismiss! I have something to call." The instructor on duty again nodded , got into the teacher's duty room and went to sleep.

The two Junior Brothers who were standing at Sun Post said goodbye and hurried to the dormitory.

Winters and Bud start their last night watch.

The surname is a very interesting thing. The surname, surname and given name of the Celestial Dynasty are independent of each other. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, the common people had names and no surnames. higher than the name.

The Roma also have a strict naming system of their real name, clan name and family name, but the "barbarian clansman" that replaced Shirom is not so particular, and has been famous for a long time. Last name, and nicknames to distinguish people with the same name.

In fact, there are other places where the naming method of the joint name of father and son is adopted, that is, the real name·father name. The meaning of this nomenclature is A's son, B. Because the society is relatively small, as soon as the son of a certain hero Laozi is mentioned, the listeners will understand, for example, Odin sson is the son of Odin. Iceland still retains this nomenclature.

Later, many titles of "son of so-and-so" were directly used as surnames.

Other regions also have the naming method of real name, father's name and family name, as well as the naming method of real name, multiple ancestor names, and family name.

Simply put, compared with the more inherited meaning of the surnamed Fang in the east, the surnames in Western Europe are the product of pragmatism, and it was the census that made surnames popular.
