Qin Fen knew the temperaments and characters of his drill instructors. Each and every one of them were arrogant and obstinate. If Du Peng had chosen to use his relationships with the top to issue orders down, these drill instructors would simply ignore Du Peng. They wouldn't think anything of him. They might even strike him during training and give him heavy injuries, making him miss the training camp by staying in the hospital.
Regardless of the result, Du Peng would ultimately be looked down upon by these drill instructors. However, he had chosen this method of independently asking for a spot. This caused the drill instructors to look at him in a different light.
Qin Fen thought about how Du Peng gave Squad Leader Hao a good impression and was happy for his comrade, who was even more stingy with words than Enzo Rota himself.
"The more ice-cold his appearance, the greater the fiery heart that hides beneath."
