With lingering fear in her heart, Xu Wen lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "The instructor said that I'm under observation now. If I don't pass, I'll have to leave immediately. At that time, no one will be able to plead for mercy for me. I don't want to leave. If my father knows that I've been expelled, he'll probably kill me.
"I thought that after entering military school, I would be able to get a military rank after graduation. Now that I think about it, I was too naive.

She didn't want to give up, but she knew her problem.
